WEBVTT - It's An Entire Major: How To Not Be Stupid 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.720 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Keddy arm Strong 0:00:48.440 --> 0:01:02.480 and Patty and he Armstrong and Eddy broken. Everybody in 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.160 the newsroom like me. It's breeding hard. We're all breeding hard. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:11.240 Five five stories, five stories of cement stairs their bodies. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.399 I noticed there's bodies littering. Some people only made it 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.520 like three foot foursts and they're just laying there huddled 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.800 in the corner. You gotta ignore the chest pain. Chest 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.160 pain is pain leaving the body. Wait, no, it's not. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:27.240 It's pain. Never mind, it's so drawn something leaving the 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:32.399 body might be dying. Going on, Yeah, your spirit is live. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.759 Excuse me. That was a bad start. Let's try this again, 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.520 live from studio c Armstrong and Getty compound. And today 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.319 we're under the tutelage of our general manager. College students 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.000 who support hamas, Oh my god, getting kicked out. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:49.920 We're finding them revoking their visas. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.760 Get out. What is the delio is they need to 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.400 get out? I guess you got nothing else to do? 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.440 What is a college student? Who are you against this? 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.960 College students? They got nothing else to do? I guess 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:07.520 they're just bored. Has anybody suggested perhaps they could suggest 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:13.840 as a freshman orientation, you study, you make friends, you 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.640 drink beer, you try to get laid. That seemed to 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.760 occupy all of my time, like every single second. Well, 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.359 there's a little of going to sports ball games and 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:29.160 cheering with my fellow fellow school colors. Clad Ninnis. I 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.560 was explaining to my son yesterday we saw some college. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.040 I said, I had a job. I went to a 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.640 job every day, so that's what I did. I didn't 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.480 have time to get together and make a placard and 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.840 throw things at cars or something. My job is the 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:47.000 protest against the colonial oppressors of the patriarchy. Speaking of 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.920 throwing things at car, you probably saw the attacks on 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.919 Tesla over the weekend. There is one of your big 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.920 Tesla dealerships. Was that in New York where a roving 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.760 band of people attacked it, And then so other big 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.880 cities they had. In Chicago they had I don't know 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.480 how many cops lining the street to try to protect 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.200 the Tesla dealership. And I saw a video of some 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.480 job at pounding on some guy's cyber truck at a stoplight. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.240 That's just one job, as opposed to a large group 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.840 of people attacking the dealership. But I just saw this 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:26.200 morning Tesla stock is down forty five percent since December. Yeah, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.800 I've got some of the consumer numbers on their perception 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.720 of is this a band I would like to a 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.760 brand I would like to buy, and gosh, among anybody 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.280 who's left to center, it's become anathema to buy the 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.240 very product that they were desperate to buy to virtue 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.720 signal five years ago. Well that's the problem with what 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.800 do they call it, vanity stocks or some there's various 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.440 names for these things, but the one that just like. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.640 Signaled your worldview. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.320 So that's why people bought Tesla's in the first place, 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.920 to a certain extent. And then when if you buy 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.640 something because it's in a expression of your politics, well 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.640 then obviously it's a little different than like when I 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.040 buy a toaster, either workshirt, it doesn't. I don't. I 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.920 don't really have any thoughts on our foreign policy or 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.480 anything like that. I need a good conservative toaster as 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.280 tester stand up for traditional values. Put for my red 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.360 brown on both sides down forty five percent. I mean, 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.120 that's not all these that we're going to talk about. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.560 This Trump was asked about a recession and you know, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.240 long term goals and battling China and everything like that. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.960 This is not a little dip though. This is not 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:30.839 an ups and downs. 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.440 The markets go up and down forty five percent since December. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.919 Oh my god, that is unbelievable. But I wonder, I 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.200 wonder how that's gonna play out. I don't see that 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.840 changing the political part of it, do you. I can't 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.640 imagine how that's gonna change the whole the whole people 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.760 getting bumper stickers for their tesla. I bought this before 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.440 I knew who Elon was or whatever. Who worries about 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.160 their car that way? I just don't. But people who 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.279 constant virtue signal and live their lives emotionally, I guess 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.480 that's a wild Yeah. I happen to be wearing a 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.520 Fender Guitar T shirt right now. If I found out 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.719 that the guy running Fender is a communist, I think 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.599 that's odd, and I'd. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.040 Keep playing my telecaster. Why wouldn't I? 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:27.520 What an interesting history of the automobile industry. This will be? Uh, 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.559 I guess because I think this is what's going to happen. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.520 You're going to have the most valuable car company in 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:40.320 the world. Way way Way Way Way Way. Uh suffer 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:45.120 politically because of their the guy who runs its politics, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.520 and it'll become and also ran car company, not just 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.240 because of his politics. Well, and we're not talking about 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.400 you know, a brand of lipstick or you have some 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.760 sort of breakfast cereal. No, this is an enormous the 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.640 most valuable car company in the world, in one of 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:06.080 the biggest sectors of the globes economy. So yeah, it's 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.279 it's a it's a massive, massive shift. And one interesting 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.159 dynamic of this to me is Elon probably doesn't care 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.360 that much. I think I feel like, you know, uh, Tesla, Well, 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.280 he's a bit of a polygamist and Tesla Tesla, Tesla's 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.760 like his old first wife is a fine gal. But 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.760 I'm really much more accepted. I'm sorry, excited about my 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.039 new couple of baby mamas. So yeah, I don't I 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.839 don't know what he thinks, but stockholders certainly care. People 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.719 with it in their for to one k or what 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.080 have you care a great deal. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.400 When's the first truck company? 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:38.760 Jack? 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.760 And I'm should I use brands here? 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.720 Why not? This is just for the purposes of illustration. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.640 I'm not intending saying any things specific, but if four 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:52.440 trucks were to come out and say, uh, Dodges for 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.200 they them Ford trucks are for you, and show some 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:01.039 purple headed femmes something or other driving Dodge truck, just 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:06.200 go hardcore heartland conservative in their marketing, say yeah, we're 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.000 gonna go ahead and close off the people are freaked 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.760 out that Elon is now somewhat conservative and won't buy 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.280 a Textila anymore. We don't want your business. We're going 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.720 hardcore traditional values buyer. Would they see their sales surge 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.360 at least for a while, I don't know. I've never 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.560 think it's dumb on both sides. Just make a good 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.400 product and let people buy it. And I haven't looked 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.240 at but I was test driving a cyber truck the 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.040 other day. I actually have a funny story about that. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.360 But they have one point nine percent financing on them 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.440 now and free lifetime supercharging, so I feel like they're 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.040 and that just started a week ago. I feel like 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.600 they're in the Hey, maybe you know the good done 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.920 to buy a Tesla Mode. So I don't know where 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:51.560 that's all going. If I'm a truck, a's you know, CEO, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.720 I put out a new ad campaign our truck transmission, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.920 their truck transgender. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.440 You choose well, chos trucks. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.000 There isn't anybody who cares about trucks buying a cyber 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.240 truck anyway, So you'd be appealing to the wrong crowd. 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.640 It's not like I'm just still thinking through my thought experiment. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.960 I guarantee really polarized economy. I guarantee I've talked to 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.920 enough people. There ain't nobody considering a Ford F two 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.600 fifty or a cyber truck. Nobody, not one person in America. Right, 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.360 we should start to show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.760 Joe Getty on this it is money brand New week. 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.560 Oh my god, is this going to be the best 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.559 week of your life? Or is it all going to fall apart? 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.360 It's March tenth, year, twenty twenty five. Where Armstrong, you're 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.360 getting we approve of this programs more likely just blend 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.480 in the never ending gray if week after week. Anyway, Hey, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.520 let's begin officially now, won't that be fun? 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.120 According to f CC rules, Rags, here we go at Mark. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.280 Are you expecting a reception this year? 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.880 I hate to predict things like that. There is a 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.760 period of transition because what we're doing is very big. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.120 We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.400 and there are always periods of it takes a little time. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:04.400 It takes a little time. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.160 Trump, the media savvy showman, not just saying immediately no 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:17.240 is definitely newsworthy. Yes. Yeah, Well, and he made the point. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.760 We'll play the clip later. He says, Look, China thinks 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.559 in terms of one hundred years. We need to start 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.800 thinking long term too. I don't love all of his 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.080 moves economically and trading that sort of thing. But to 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.760 hear someone say, hey, let's quit chasing this quarters or turns, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.120 let's think about what's good for the country long term. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.040 That's a change. Yeah. I want to talk a lot 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.319 more about that. Is that is interesting? This is now 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.760 the conversation has gotten really interesting to me, not just 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.840 the tear of part, but the restructuring of the way 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:52.959 the world does business. Wow, that's some fascinating stuff. And 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.319 and he's got some allies in interesting quarters. So we 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.000 got Katie's headlines on the way mailbag later. More news 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.480 of the day. Oh, this is going to be such 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.000 a huge a I just you'll remember the rest of 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.760 your life, probably marketing, not on the calendar, you'll think 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.560 about it. I remember that, remember that hour one of 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.920 the March tenth Armstrong and Getty show. Wow, we can't 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:17.280 be sued for this, can we? This is fraud. We 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.480 make colors brighter and white swider. I mean, you know 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.200 you can claim anything, can't you. Uh so we got 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.440 all of that on the white text line four one 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:31.760 kftc arm Strong. You know, I know Katie didn't have 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.360 this in her headlines because it's a question of a headline. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.120 But it's from USA today, how much caffeine is in 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.160 coffee ice cream? Which is a funny thing. It came 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:41.920 up because I had that thought just the other night. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.440 I was had of Baskin Robbins. It was late in 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.680 the day. Coffee ice cream sounded good, but I thought 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.600 these are caffeine and coffee ice screamer? How much or whatever? Anyway, 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.200 So there's this article in USA today how much caffeine 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.160 is coffee ice cream? And I would love to teach 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.360 like a class on how stupid this article is and 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.880 make the point about just like general mass media consumption news, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.240 I mean, the whole thing top to bottom is just moronic. Wow, 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.560 it's just so dumb. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.640 And I would enjoy you going through that and take 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:13.599 that class. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.319 And aimed at the dumbest people and it's contradictory and 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.640 it's just so dumb. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.240 You would be a good teacher, Yes, you would. 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.480 Well, you know, I think it's it's more than a class. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.160 I mean, it's an entire major how not to be stupid? 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.079 And there would be how not to. 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.520 Be stupid media, there'd be one hundred two hundred, three 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.120 hundred four hundred level class. There'd be how not to 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.760 be stupid as a consumer is it, you know, whatever? 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.720 How not to be stupid? That would be a good class, innovative. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.319 You get in touch with that University of Texas at Austin. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.120 I'll bet they would appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah, So a 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.480 lot of good stuff to get to this hour, ample 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.080 time for who's reporting what? 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.800 It's the lead story with Katie Green. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.200 Katie, let's do it all right, Starting with the big 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.360 one from the New York Times. Trump declines to rule 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.120 out recession as tariffs begin to bite. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.600 Yeah, we're gonna talk more about that coming up. But 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:10.720 he's thinking long term, which you have to do for business. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.520 But are we set up for that? One of the 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.320 great weaknesses of a democracy. And you gotta remember again. 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.160 We'll talk more about this later, but the Wall Street 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.800 Journal is not interested in long term. They're interested in 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.000 this court. She can't always listen to them for advice 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:27.360 to a large extent. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:33.680 Yep, absolutely from NBC quote you lose all hope federal 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:38.559 workers gripped by mental health distress amid Trump cuts. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.840 Yeah. Well, if you lived your life thinking you could 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.680 never be fired, meeting the reality of I might have 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.800 to look for a job like other people would be distressful. Yeah. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.360 I have some sympathy for these folks. They have lived 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.559 in one reality for a very long time, and now 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.679 reality has changed. So you have two weeks to get 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:56.079 over it. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:57.920 Oh my god. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:58.640 Wow. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.120 From the Associated Press. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.600 Two days of clashes and revenge killings in Syria leave 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.000 more than one thousand people dead. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.880 I swear it. I had a dream that was very, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.120 very dark and disturbing, but it had to do with 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.440 the actual fear for your life and your family's life 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.120 you would have in a war zone like Syria or 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.600 parts of Africa, where the bad guys with guns will 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.679 come and shoot you down. Just for who you are. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.120 And in Syria, they're insulting them and taunting them, making 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.920 them crawl through the streets and bark like dogs, and 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.600 then in some cases shooting them for being the wrong religion, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:45.319 slack ethnicity brutal, But let's keep doubling down on identity 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:46.800 politics lefties. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:54.120 From ABC North Korea test fires quote multiple ballistic missiles 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.400 as US South Korea war games begin. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.480 I didn't see that. I'll have to look into what 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.120 kind of miss they used and how successful they went. 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:08.719 From the Free Vegan, Columbia student activist in ice custody 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.080 after Trump administration revokes his visa. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:18.040 Yeah, we're thinking of having a campus Madness feature all 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.200 deportation edition explaining out what's going on with that. Okay? 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:30.040 From CNN Jeene Hackman's wife died of hantavirus and days later. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.840 He was gone. So they think now it was like 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:38.000 a week or so she was dead before he died. Yeah, 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.640 his dementia was significantly worse than anybody had known. Wow, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:47.040 just couldn't last. That was an interesting twist. Haunt a 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.760 virus that you get from like mouse poop. So she 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.120 was laying on the bathroom floor for a full week 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.760 while he's still bumping around the house, honey, honie. 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.520 To Joe's note, in this article, it does mention that 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.720 she kept his health status very private, so that's why 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.200 nobody was even aware of it. From the New York Post, 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.600 Wheel of Fortune star Vana White reveals she only works 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:14.840 thirty four. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:15.640 Days a year. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.160 I saw that. It's a sweet gig. Where do I 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.280 sign up? No kidding? So Pat Sajak, who was making 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.120 what was he making fifteen million dollars a year or 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:28.000 whatever he was making working thirty some days a year. Wow, 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.040 that money to work ratio. The list of things I 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.080 wouldn't do for that, surprisingly sure. 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:43.080 And finally the Babylon Bee transgender mouse obliterates female mouse 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.840 in laboratory mma fight. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:50.560 Uh. I read ezrid Kie and Bremer's Twitter feed last 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.640 night and he had in there. He said, I can't 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.840 believe the Democratic Party is still fighting so hard on 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:02.120 the issue of transgender athletes and sports and stuff. He said, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:03.960 just for the record, I'm on the same side as 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:08.560 the eighty percent of America. But it is quite amazing. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.800 A number of big time politicians doubled down over the weekend, like, oh, 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.040 they're really coming after Gavin. We got to talk about 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.760 that more later. Gavin Show, who didn't even say anything. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.120 I mean he kind of like dodged the question, to 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.960 my mind, but the fact that he didn't full throatedly 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.160 endorse the dudes in girls' sports. He's getting killed by 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.000 the left. What the hell is going on? 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:29.360 Really? 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:30.360 This is the political year. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.800 Trump is hitler and that's the biggest issue of our time. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.320 And country's gonna go away, but we're gonna go ahead 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:38.280 and die on this hill. 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.640 That is an eighty twenty issue. It's it's so crazy. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.080 Two things. Number One, my favorite story of the weekend 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.000 the San Francisco bath house that tried to have a 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:53.480 ladies only night. Stay tuned for that. Wow. Secondly, the 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.680 only thing I can think of, Jack is that they 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:04.160 are so invested in the NATO of grievances, the intersectionality thing. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.280 The black folks can't break ranks with the trans folks, 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.120 who can't break ranks with the illegal immigrants, who can't 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.600 break ranks with the angry Muslims. You can never betray 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.000 each other. We form a coalition, Gavin showed. There's a 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.280 little chink in the armor and people going crazy. Wow, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:20.920 it's interesting. We got a lot of news. We got 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:26.480 mail bag coming up. Stick around Armstrong and Getty. If 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.159 there'sn't anybody out there trying to get their PhD in 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.600 neuroscience or something like that and would like to study 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.840 me and my inability to wrap my head around the 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.760 time change. I find it fascinating. I mean, there are 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.680 some fairly complex things that I'm able to grasp, but I. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.080 Can't grasp the time change. 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.640 I just can't. I mean, trying to figure out if 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.760 my body thinks it's an hour later or an hour 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.399 earlier right now is like a half hour project for me. 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.000 It's why I have to leave an old timey battery 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.400 operated analog clock around the house so I can check 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.720 what diamond do I think it is? Okay, just remember 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:06.919 spring across fall sideways. Anyway, last night I had it 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:08.920 backwards for a long time. I was like, oh wonder, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:10.879 I'm so tired. I think it's ten o'clock. And then 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.119 I finally I guess Henry pointed out to me, No, 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:17.800 it's the other way around. Oh okay, Yeah, we went 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.720 through the whole thing. I'll bet everybody does. Trying to 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.600 figure out when the dog would be hungry and that 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.320 sort of thing. Of course, he's always hungry. So all right, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:29.359 welcome to a campus Madness, a special deportation edition. 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.040 Campus madness. You say. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:46.000 That. It disturbs me every time we play that. Anyway, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.280 So ICE has arrested a Columbia student who helped lead 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.800 pro Palestinian protests. That's the one way to put it. 0:18:54.800 --> 0:19:00.520 Pro Hamas protests, anti Jew protests, that's how you look 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.800 at it. I suppose Mackmood Khalil was detained Saturday night 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.359 by the Department of Homeland Security agents. According to his lawyer, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.399 The agent said they were acting out orders from the 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.639 State Department to revoke his green card. Now, so a 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:18.080 green card is what permanent or semi permanent status you 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.440 get to be here. So what essentially a lawful permanent resident, 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.320 what are you not allowed to do under a green 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:28.720 card that gets it revoked? Advocate for a designated terrorist organization, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:34.639 support or advocate. So anyway, this fellow was allowed to 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.640 call his lawyer from the lobby of the building where 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.399 they're whisking him out of and the agent told her 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.160 the State Department had revoked his student visa. She said 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.960 she informed the agent that Khalil is a lawful permanent resident, 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:50.439 and the agent said they revoked that too. The agent 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.240 hung up when she said she needed to see a 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:56.560 warrant before Khalil could be detained. And for what it's worth, 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.159 the university is saying, you're supposed to have a warrant 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.880 before you come on to our property because the building 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:07.680 he was in was university owned. Putting aside the specifics 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.639 of this case and the legalities which I am not 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:15.240 nearly qualified to address, it is clear that the vow 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:19.480 to do this very sort of thing has begun. Well, 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.880 I guess you have to because the universities aren't willing 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.639 to do it themselves. I just is he a student, Yes, 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.719 he is a student. I don't understand why the well, 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.160 I do understand why these colleges don't just say, hey, 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.080 stop trying to take over this building or blocking students 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:36.720 from going to class, or we're going to kick you out. 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.600 It's because the deans and the university professors agree with 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.520 the protesters. So that's why. Yep, yeah, they might even 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.560 secretly like what they're doing. Khalil's detention came just one 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.000 day after the Trump administration said it would cancel roughly 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.159 four hundred million dollars in federal grants in contracts to 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:57.280 Columbia University for its blatant anti semitism. The grants in 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:02.240 question from DHS, the General Services Administration, whatever that is. 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.280 That sounds like it was deliberately designed so that nobody 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.359 would ever ask what they're doing and how much money 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.040 they're spending. The General Services Administration, Oh, really, what do 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.040 you do there? We provide general services generally and the 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.320 Education Department. In response, Columbia University says it's reviewing the 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.240 agency's moves and pledged to work with the federal government 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.960 to restore Columbia's federal funding, adding that the school is 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.280 quote committed to combating anti Semitism and ensuring the safety 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.040 of well being all of our students, faculty, and staff. No, 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:32.880 you're not, you're liars. 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:36.119 That doesn't seem to be the case, just based on 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:36.840 my looking at it. 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.560 Secretary of State Marco Rubio is launching an AI fueled 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.840 catch and revoke effort, according to MSN, to cancel the 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.520 visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:52.000 other designated terror groups. Senior State Department officials tell Axios, 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:56.720 and that seems to be more or less what's happening. Yeah, 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:00.720 well so I but they're gonna use this is interesting. 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:04.640 They're going to use AI to comb through social media accounts, 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:10.679 news reports, whatever, then match those reports with internal databases 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.480 to see whether any visa holders were, for instance, arrested 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.240 but allowed to stay in the country during the Biden administration. 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.399 So I'm reading the book Thirteen Days. I mentioned this 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:20.920 last week. 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.960 It's the Lawrence Wright, who I love everything he ever does. 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:28.359 But it's the account of the peace accords from the 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.720 seventies under Carter Egypt Israel. But there's a lot of 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:36.160 the backstory on that in the history. And while I'm 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:41.119 on the side of Israel certainly mostly versus the Palestinians, 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:43.920 you know, there are some pretty ugly back and forth 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:48.840 over the many decades. Oh absolutely, And so you can understand. 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.120 I mean, it's a legitimate position to think Israel has 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:54.600 gone too far here or there and then this, and 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:56.560 this is why I think the Palestinians are getting a 0:22:56.640 --> 0:23:01.000 raw deal. Separating that from being in favor of Hamas. 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:05.320 If I'm a college kid, though, don't wear the freaking outfit. 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:08.639 Don't wear the Hamas uniform. Right If you're wearing the 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:12.160 Hamas uniform. It's pretty hard for me to think you're 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.200
