Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jettie and Key.
Speaker 2: Armed Drum Studio C see signor.
Speaker 1: It is a dimly lit room deep with them the
Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong in Getty Communications combound on Fria
Speaker 1: and today we're under the two legs of our general
Speaker 1: manager X spray glasses.
Speaker 3: X ray glasses A reference to the unbelievable NBA related
Speaker 3: related card cheating, point shaving giant double scandal.
Speaker 1: Holy cow, what did I have it wrong? Yesterday we
Speaker 1: were talking about how you cheated poker man. I was
Speaker 1: going with like old timey river boat gambler cheating methods
Speaker 1: that I've seen in person. No, this was unfreaking believable. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I learned. And I'm not a
Speaker 1: gambler at all. I haven't played poker in forty years,
Speaker 1: maybe longer at all. I don't know how a person
Speaker 1: with any money would ever get involved with very high
Speaker 1: stakes at all gambling based on everything I've learned in
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, either from you talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, being in games where clearly people were trying
Speaker 1: to swindle you people you knew and how easy it
Speaker 1: is to do. Combine that with this high level cheating,
Speaker 1: with the X ray glasses and the card shuffling machines
Speaker 1: that are rigged, and all this sort of stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know why anybody wealthy would ever
Speaker 1: play in a poker game. Key aspect of the scam
Speaker 1: is you convince people that the game is straight. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that it's legit, That's what I'm saying. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you. I don't know how you would be convinced, ever,
Speaker 1: that you're not getting Swindleshow you got to be at
Speaker 1: least on the verge of being a gambling addict to
Speaker 1: take that gamble, to take the word of somebody you
Speaker 1: kind of know that, oh oh it's a legit game.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody wins, everybody loses. But man, we go
Speaker 1: at it hard hot. This is high dollar, no limits,
Speaker 1: So bring your check book, buddy. I mean, well, so
Speaker 1: what's their own? So so contact lenses and X ray glasses?
Speaker 1: How did those work? Well? They they had special they
Speaker 1: had all sorts of They had this high tech card
Speaker 1: shuffling cheap machine that was unbelievable. They had special glasses
Speaker 1: and contact lenses that could read the backs of cards
Speaker 1: which were marked, and they had X ray tables that
Speaker 1: could read the cards through the surface of the table,
Speaker 1: and there was one other wacky X ray e thing
Speaker 1: I can't even remember, but yeah, it was like insanely
Speaker 1: high tech, not like rigging the game, but just seeing
Speaker 1: the other player cards all the time. I wonder why
Speaker 1: they went to all of that work, which obviously the
Speaker 1: more of that stuff you got going on, the easier
Speaker 1: it is to get caught. Because the way you were
Speaker 1: explaining it yesterday, it's pretty easy if you got a
Speaker 1: handful of players, even a couple of players in on
Speaker 1: the scam, to fleece the person you brought in, right,
Speaker 1: you way stack the deck. No pun intended in terms
Speaker 1: of the odds of various outcomes. I mean, it's you
Speaker 1: might one out of five times your scam is going
Speaker 1: to lose, but Fort TAM's had a five you win,
Speaker 1: and that loss actually helps perpetuate the feeling that it's legit.
Speaker 1: So I want to know everything about this. What were
Speaker 1: there procedures for not winning all the time, because you
Speaker 1: can't just cleaned the fish out the first hand every
Speaker 1: time where it's gonna get around. Yeah, at the very
Speaker 1: least he would be suspicious and not come back and think, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I just happen to get the worst cards every
Speaker 1: single time. Yeah right, I ain't playing with you anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they probably let guys win hands and get a
Speaker 1: little old and get a little fat on their back,
Speaker 1: as they say, I just I want to know everything
Speaker 1: I don't know. From the NBA side, the way they
Speaker 1: get caught seems to me like childishly inempt So you
Speaker 1: got a meaningless game between two not even probably playoff teams,
Speaker 1: some barely known player. All of a sudden, all this
Speaker 1: money flows into bedding houses across the country, which is
Speaker 1: kept track of by the way. Now, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: that's funny. I wonder why so many people bet this
Speaker 1: player most of us have never heard of, is going
Speaker 1: to get hurt tonight. That seems weird. And then that
Speaker 1: you know, tipped off authorities to start looking into that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Come on, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: That's well, that's why if you're a good mobster, you
Speaker 1: got to spread it around. So you bet on this
Speaker 1: free throw. Some you bet the under on what's his
Speaker 1: name who faked the injury Rosier. Yeah, and you got
Speaker 1: to spread it around otherwise you get you know, you
Speaker 1: set off the algorithms. Well, the thing that started it
Speaker 1: originally was that story we heard yesterday about him pulling
Speaker 1: up hurt nine minutes into a game. A whole bunch
Speaker 1: of money had flooded into that meaningless game around one player.
Speaker 1: Most people don't think about bet in the under, bet
Speaker 1: in the under all of a sudden, so many people,
Speaker 1: I mean, that tipped people off immediately. There was an
Speaker 1: investigation going on right away, yeah, by the NBA. So
Speaker 1: part of it is what you were talking about a
Speaker 1: while back, is with AI can monitor so much of
Speaker 1: this betting action and figure out variables that don't match
Speaker 1: normal variables and betting right pick up patterns and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So I guess the good thing there is
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot harder to fix sporting events that way. Yes,
Speaker 1: Michael Hanson and I are just noticing that Joe knows
Speaker 1: an awful lot about this poker world where he's kind
Speaker 1: of wondering exactly. I was in with one of the
Speaker 1: families for a while who've been in an interesting experience.
Speaker 1: I was in an experimental phase in my life, became
Speaker 1: a mobster. Didn't like it. Cut out. I worked with
Speaker 1: a guy there was my ballet period. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: about that someday. I worked with a guy at a
Speaker 1: radio station one time. He big, tough guy, sales guy,
Speaker 1: built like a just like he looked like one of
Speaker 1: those guys you could just wail on him and he
Speaker 1: wouldn't even feel it. Just that kind of person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he got invited by some family to Vegas one time.
Speaker 1: And he went to Vegas and he came back and
Speaker 1: he told me, he said, I got invited to my relatives.
Speaker 1: My distance relatives are one of the big crime families,
Speaker 1: and I got invited to a join and they wanted
Speaker 1: to know if I want to start, he said, And
Speaker 1: I got to decide, because once you get in, you
Speaker 1: can't get out. I've known other family members that got in.
Speaker 1: You either got to decide to stay out or once
Speaker 1: you get in, you're in. And I don't know what
Speaker 1: he did. He working at the radio station, maybe went
Speaker 1: and joined. He was going to be a muscle of
Speaker 1: some sort. I suppose a Polly Walnut sort of go
Speaker 1: beat people up guy. And then you work your way up, yeah,
Speaker 1: become a cap bull. Forget about it. But we mentioned
Speaker 1: this yesterday our whole lives, starting as when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, it was always, of course, this is the
Speaker 1: old days. Organized crime doesn't really exist anymore. And they've
Speaker 1: been saying that every decade my entire life. And then
Speaker 1: stories like this rise up, and then once again you
Speaker 1: got the same five families running some sort of giant operation.
Speaker 1: And what's really really interesting about this is there have
Speaker 1: long been whispers in the NBA about very high stakes poker,
Speaker 1: super common, including some of the greatest players in the
Speaker 1: game currently and in the past. And so the whole
Speaker 1: wait a minute, point shaving NBA and poker thing, it's
Speaker 1: like it's you know, it's like a peanut butter and
Speaker 1: ham sandwich. At first, it doesn't make sense, but there
Speaker 1: are now folks talking out loud about, Yeah, this makes
Speaker 1: perfect sense because the whole high stakes gambling NBA player
Speaker 1: poker thing, that's that's it's been part of the culture
Speaker 1: for a long time. Well, Jordan was a big gambler.
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley is a big gambler, like really big gamblers,
Speaker 1: right right, And and they're also and I'm sorry I
Speaker 1: left out the important part. And some of the whispers
Speaker 1: about point shaving and throwing meaningless games and that sort
Speaker 1: of thing that that's been going on in the NBA
Speaker 1: for a long time. Those whispers are starting to get louder.
Speaker 1: This this is earth shaking for the NBA, unless the
Speaker 1: the tips I've gotten are way off. This this is
Speaker 1: the beginning of the earthquake. Rick ex variance an earthquake. Please,
Speaker 1: let's start the show off officially. Uh oh, we killed
Speaker 1: some more people in a boat. Next it I'm canceling
Speaker 1: my water skiing trip to Venezuela. That's it just doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like the right time. Six more dudes in a
Speaker 1: boat overnight strike in the Caribbean. According to the Secretary
Speaker 1: of War, I've got to start the show officially. I'm
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday,
Speaker 1: October twenty fourth, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong
Speaker 1: and getting and we approve of this program. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: begin then officially according the FCC rules regulations, here we
Speaker 1: go at Mark.
Speaker 4: Rosier turn it over again, having a tough.
Speaker 1: Night roasting here off the dhow and he turned it over.
Speaker 4: Rose here with a nine one one, pump up short,
Speaker 4: Rose with contested three, sure to see here with a three,
Speaker 4: Anderson with a refounder ros a Rehopeys.
Speaker 1: Turned up and try.
Speaker 5: But that was.
Speaker 1: That was one of the games that came to the
Speaker 1: attention of the authorities in which mister Rosier was like
Speaker 1: obviously throwing the ball, passing the ball so it would
Speaker 1: be intercepted. I mean, like pass his NBA players never
Speaker 1: make Why would you do it to that extent? Did
Speaker 1: they just latch onto a guy who was not a
Speaker 1: good actor. I mean, don't be that obviously. All you
Speaker 1: gotta do is well, it depends if the big time
Speaker 1: gamblers who had him by the uh tender pits had
Speaker 1: bet his team to lose and one of his teammates
Speaker 1: was just going off making everything. You got to take
Speaker 1: more extreme measures. I mean, even Steph Curry has you
Speaker 1: know games where he goes, oh for three pointers in
Speaker 1: the first half or something, right, but this guy was
Speaker 1: throwing balls directly to his opponents and leaving shots feet
Speaker 1: short of the rim, not even scaring the rim. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: this will be fun, and of course this will make
Speaker 1: every fan for the quite a while think when their
Speaker 1: team loses a close game with a weird play. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I see what's happening here. At the very least, it'll
Speaker 1: be a fun running joke. And I was reading. Rich
Speaker 1: Lowry of the National Review wrote a piece for a
Speaker 1: New York Post last night about how this is was
Speaker 1: inevitable as we allowed gambling, legalized gambling with that big
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision a few years back, and it just
Speaker 1: became such a giant industry in every parts of sport,
Speaker 1: at every level, and so easy to do. This was inevitable.
Speaker 1: I suppose he is right. I don't know where you
Speaker 1: how you outlawed, though, if you believe I don't know,
Speaker 1: I know the commissioners of all the leagues are probably
Speaker 1: meeting together in their secret star chamber right now, with
Speaker 1: sweat pouring down their faces and panic in the air,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out that the answer to that question.
Speaker 1: It doesn't help that the commissioner of the NBA looks
Speaker 1: like a movie villain. If I saw help, if I
Speaker 1: saw him lurking behind me, I'd scream and wet myself. Ah,
Speaker 1: if he had an underground layer, it would not surprise me. No,
Speaker 1: pet's a cat No, he's clearly that guy.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: We've got Katie's headlines, we got clips of the week.
Speaker 1: I got to remember it. We got lots of news
Speaker 1: to get to stay with us. I'm going to ask
Speaker 1: people as a thought experiment, to be honest with themselves
Speaker 1: later around a particular topic that I think will be
Speaker 1: somewhat revealing. So please stay tuned for that. Okay, night,
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued and fascinated. I can't wait. Now, one of
Speaker 1: the big stories of the day. Your opinion on it.
Speaker 1: If it were a different administration, I have a feeling
Speaker 1: some of you would have a different opinion. All right, interesting,
Speaker 1: all right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the
Speaker 1: least story with Katie Green, Katie take it away. So
Speaker 1: my joke to Katie, actually I want to mention because
Speaker 1: it's got a conversation behind it. Okay. I told my
Speaker 1: wife she'd her eyebrows too high. She seems surprised. But
Speaker 1: I was talking to a woman the other day who
Speaker 1: had her eyebrows drawn on, and I mean, like, I
Speaker 1: know that you like your colory eyebrows or whatever. There's
Speaker 1: a little adding to it, but I mean this was
Speaker 1: just like, no, eyebrows exist of actual hair and then
Speaker 1: just like a magic marker V on top of their eyes.
Speaker 1: That's a thing.
Speaker 6: Some some women are actually shaving them off so they
Speaker 6: can redraw them back there.
Speaker 1: That seemed to be the case here. Very attractive woman,
Speaker 1: but she just had them like a like a drawn
Speaker 1: on V. Yeah, that's the eyebrows having a moment? Jack interesting,
Speaker 1: Can I do that with my smile? Just like like
Speaker 1: Joker style? She looks surprised, you see, Okay, try it
Speaker 1: all right, NBC.
Speaker 6: The story everyone's talking about nightmare for the League gambling
Speaker 6: scandal Royals the NBA.
Speaker 1: I'd say it is. Yeah, so oh it sounds like
Speaker 1: most of the money's of poker games, tens of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars across many many states, the five big mafia
Speaker 1: crime families. But then there's also the players got caught
Speaker 1: up in gambling debt and had to cheat to pay
Speaker 1: off their debt story. Yeah, this seems like a variation
Speaker 1: on the they got capone for tax evasion thing. What's
Speaker 1: going to bring the league down is going to be
Speaker 1: a lot smaller dollar amount than the whole poker scam. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but we'll have to sing let the tips for what
Speaker 1: I may. From the Wall Street.
Speaker 6: Journal, US inflation picked up to three percent in September.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I didn't hear that. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: From ABC.
Speaker 6: Trump heads to Asia to talk trade deal with China's g.
Speaker 1: He's meeting with President She next Thursday. From CNN.
Speaker 6: US sanctions on Russia over Ukraine and pressure you're on
Speaker 6: Putin to end the war.
Speaker 1: Finally, Yeah, and India and China have agreed they not
Speaker 1: going to buy oil from Russia anymore at these new sanctions.
Speaker 1: So if that's true, that's a big deal. And did
Speaker 1: you hear We're in a new trade war with Canada
Speaker 1: as the world's most easily butt hurt man. Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump got offended by a Canadian ad. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: about it and play you in the audio, the obnoxious,
Speaker 1: horrific ad. It's permontrated by America's at Canada. From the
Speaker 1: Associated Press.
Speaker 6: Southwest Airlines new policy will affect its plus sized travelers.
Speaker 6: So now, right now, if you don't fit in a seat,
Speaker 6: you can go up and they'll give you a free one. Now,
Speaker 6: if you know you don't fit in a seat, you
Speaker 6: have to buy your extra seat.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that the latter policy is clearly the
Speaker 1: only way you can run the airline. I would agree. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you sell space. Literally, if you're taking up more than
Speaker 1: a certain amount of space, you got to pay more.
Speaker 1: Are they a discrimination? Are they officially as signed seating
Speaker 1: now at Southwest? Has that started already or is it
Speaker 1: still a first come, first first of the year. Maybe
Speaker 1: I think it's start from the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: That's too bad.
Speaker 6: From page six, video shows Britney Spears driving erratically after
Speaker 6: night out as she spirals over Kevin Fetterline's bombshell memoir. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I saw this video yesterday. She was hammered and right,
Speaker 6: she's lucky she didn't kill herself or someone else.
Speaker 1: That's something Feeder. Line puts out a book talking about
Speaker 1: how she's a mess and they should have never let
Speaker 1: her have her money bag. She can't run her life,
Speaker 1: and then she goes on a binge. It seems like
Speaker 1: when that book came out, which proves his point.
Speaker 6: From study fines taking a walk every day may keep
Speaker 6: lower back pain away, can't hurt. And finally from the
Speaker 6: Babylon b WNBA players as sure the FBI that they
Speaker 6: weren't missing layups to throw games.
Speaker 1: They just sock at basketball. I saw a lot of
Speaker 1: that too, including just the idea that they caught w
Speaker 1: NBA players cheating and just said, yeah, that's all right,
Speaker 1: go ahead, it doesn't matter. Wow, all right. Clips of
Speaker 1: the week. Trade war with Canada. These are odd times.
Speaker 1: That's not nice as misogynist is what it is. We
Speaker 1: have lots on the way, stay here, Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1: Target is laying off a thousand people. Some people say
Speaker 1: it's terriffre weighted. I don't know, but a number of
Speaker 1: companies have made those kind of announcements. It's always happening, though,
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'll have
Speaker 1: to look into these times. Seem very royaled, don't they. Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: heck yeah. The much is the China tariff hundred percent
Speaker 1: tariff kicking in next week on November first. Who knows.
Speaker 1: Something's new strategy is CounterPunch even harder Trump. Well, the
Speaker 1: only thing Trump respects his strength, So they're going to
Speaker 1: up the antie in the trade war. And who knows.
Speaker 1: I will look into that inflation number. See what the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal says about it. I don't like the
Speaker 1: fact that it went up a little yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about today. But first it's the
Speaker 1: Friday tradition. Let's take fun to look back at the
Speaker 1: week that was. It's cow clips of the week. Come
Speaker 1: to the week if Trump was elected? How exactly is
Speaker 1: he a game? Oh actively switching the lovers of power
Speaker 1: and orchests toperg elections and what does that mean?
Speaker 6: Things such as uh.
Speaker 1: Freedom of protesting? What do we want it? Because it
Speaker 1: was forward, it must be true. Yeah, as a fragile
Speaker 1: CIEs fire faced its most serious tests. You know, they're
Speaker 1: going to be very good. They're going to behave they're
Speaker 1: going to be nice, and if they're not, we're going
Speaker 1: to go and we're going to eradicate them. If we
Speaker 1: have to, construction on President Trump's vast new ballroom gets underway.
Speaker 6: The price Donald Trump is literally destroying the people's house.
Speaker 1: And take a wrecking ball to an existing structures.
Speaker 4: In order to do it properly, we had to take
Speaker 4: down the existing structure. This is going to be probably
Speaker 4: the finest ballroom ever built.
Speaker 5: If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up,
Speaker 5: stop sending drugs to the United States, you won't feel
Speaker 5: badly about it is you realize that every time you
Speaker 5: see that happen, you're saving twenty five thousand American lives.
Speaker 6: The White House revealing the second summit with Vladimir Putin
Speaker 6: won't happen anytime soon.
Speaker 1: I will be the mayor who doesn't just protect Jewish
Speaker 1: New Yorkers, but also celebrates and cherishes them.
Speaker 2: Our pleasure leasion to the flag of the United States
Speaker 2: of America.
Speaker 1: Is the republic for which wipe that smile off your face. Andrew,
Speaker 1: you didn't leave. You fled from being impeached.
Speaker 6: Chauncy Phillips, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taking into custody.
Speaker 5: The scheme targeted victims known as quote fish.
Speaker 1: These operatives included capos and multiple soldiers from the Banano, Gambino,
Speaker 1: lu Casey and Genevieve's crime families. This is the Instrider
Speaker 1: trading saga for the NBA. That's what this is. That's
Speaker 1: why we are going to take heap. Tesla recently unveiled
Speaker 1: a cheaper version of its Model three sedan that costs
Speaker 1: approximately thirty seven thousand dollars as opposed to the cyber truck,
Speaker 1: which will cost you your friends and family.
Speaker 2: Work Man.
Speaker 1: Filled Horozer, good to the lead. Oh that's right. The
Speaker 1: world serious starts tonight, Yes, at in Toronto, in a
Speaker 1: foreign land. Go as the war drums are beating right now,
Speaker 1: the Canada declaring its hostilities by running an ad and
Speaker 1: the president got but hurt. Gotta admit, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: rooting for the Blue Jays. It's hard not to root
Speaker 1: for an underdog, I mean, because I don't have a
Speaker 1: serious rooting interest here, so I'll be looking for an
Speaker 1: upset for excitement. But we'll see. I just looked into
Speaker 1: the inflation numbers. The stock market is up because three
Speaker 1: percent inflation is less than they expected. They expected it
Speaker 1: to go up more so it's actually good news as
Speaker 1: it beat expectations. So there you go. There's that story. Right.
Speaker 1: Here's Mike. Here's my quick thought experiment, since it came
Speaker 1: up during clips of the week. Now, beat, can you
Speaker 1: beat completely honest with yourself, if this exact same tearing
Speaker 1: down the East Wing was going on and Biden was president,
Speaker 1: would you feel exactly the same way as you do
Speaker 1: with Trump doing it? Can you be honest with yourself
Speaker 1: about that? I have a feeling a lot of people,
Speaker 1: a lot of Fox news whatever, that's okay with Trump
Speaker 1: doing it, would be outraged if Biden were doing it,
Speaker 1: they would find a pretext to make it a scandal. Yes,
Speaker 1: a lot of people would, I'll tell you this, speaking
Speaker 1: of honesty, it occurred to me finally and doing some
Speaker 1: reading about it, that a Trump saying, look, it's not
Speaker 1: going to cost the taxpayers anything. It's all private donations.
Speaker 1: And it is. It's giant private donations. What do those
Speaker 1: people get for that? That's the White House is more
Speaker 1: transactional than I am comfortable with that. If Biden was
Speaker 1: doing a lot of the stuff with like a bitcoin,
Speaker 1: not bitcoin, but you know, cryptocurrencies and stuff and NFTs
Speaker 1: and all that Trump was doing and then he pardons
Speaker 1: that crypto guy, I would be howling about it. I've
Speaker 1: thought about that about lots of different things that presidents do,
Speaker 1: even their presidential libraries. No, no, no, it's no tax
Speaker 1: mayor money. It's from donations. Okay, who's who's donating and
Speaker 1: why what are they getting out of it? They're getting
Speaker 1: something out of while you're still in office promising a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money for your presidential library. We might
Speaker 1: be better off if it were tax payer money, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a republic if you can keep it. Yeah, these are
Speaker 1: trouble times. Troubled What are you gonna do. You're gonna
Speaker 1: dance in a ballroom, That's what you're gonna do. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a nice ballroom. I have no doubt he's
Speaker 1: good at building, you know, hotels and that sort of
Speaker 1: Thing's gonna look again, it's gonna look like a Chinese restaurant. Inside.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of gold. Yeah. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: speaking of Donald jay trade war with Canada, now, he
Speaker 1: has terminated trade negotiations with Canada because they had the temerity.
Speaker 1: That's a fancy word that means balls to run an
Speaker 1: ad apparently. Would you like to hear the ad, Jack
Speaker 1: that's stiff ended the president. I heard it referenced, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know what they're talking about. I didn't dig
Speaker 1: into the story. I've kind of lost the thread. On
Speaker 1: tariffs clip number ninety please, Michael, here's the offensive ad
Speaker 1: run by our longtime nemesis Canada.
Speaker 5: When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it
Speaker 5: looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American
Speaker 5: products and jobs and sometimes for a short violet.
Speaker 1: Works, but only for a short time.
Speaker 5: But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every
Speaker 5: American worker and consumer. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation
Speaker 5: by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade warks.
Speaker 5: Then the worst tackles. The market shrink and collapse, businesses
Speaker 5: and industry shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs.
Speaker 1: All right, that's good, Michael. I could barely understand the
Speaker 1: guy through his thick Canadian app But I'm sorry the
Speaker 1: control room is saying, that's Ronald Reagan. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: obviously the voice of Ronald Reagan. But did Ronald Reagan
Speaker 1: actually say that? Yeah, that was from a radio address
Speaker 1: he gave oh while back in nineteen eighty. It's a
Speaker 1: pretty powerful tool to shoot into America with, you know,
Speaker 1: the love of Reagan on the right. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: So they put that out and Trump didn't like it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Trump severed all negotiations with Canada. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what in a second, real quick as I've got in
Speaker 1: front of me. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute
Speaker 1: said on social media last night, shortly before Trump's comments
Speaker 1: that the ad misrepresented Reagan's address, Plus the Ontario government
Speaker 1: didn't ask for permission to use the audio, which they
Speaker 1: don't need, I would guess, adding that it is reviewing
Speaker 1: its legal options. The Foundation did not say what was
Speaker 1: inaccurate at all about the ad. So this will there
Speaker 1: be a lot more nationalism in the World Series tonight
Speaker 1: in Toronto, not just rooting for your Blue Jays, but
Speaker 1: rooting for Canada against the evil United States. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna be the other way around, because we're not really
Speaker 1: worked up about it in the United States, but in
Speaker 1: Canada it seems like Canada's pretty worked up about this
Speaker 1: whole thing, especially now even if you know the previous
Speaker 1: like what was that eight months ago? Uh, we're going
Speaker 1: to annex Canada? Stuff has died down. Yeah, Sep Frash
Speaker 1: stated up again. Right, So here's what Trump said, Uh,
Speaker 1: based on their egregious behavior, all all caps, all trade
Speaker 1: negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. The President claimed that
Speaker 1: Canada quote fraudulently, fraudulently used an advertisement which is fake
Speaker 1: all caps featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. Nobe's
Speaker 1: made it clear in what way it was fake or
Speaker 1: altered and you're you're solid on that. Reagan actually said that, Well,
Speaker 1: it was from a The ad uses audio from a
Speaker 1: nine eighty seven radio address delivered by Reagan, according to
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal. For me, well, nobody's nobody.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: That's a little vague too. It's possible some of it
Speaker 1: is legit and some of it is not. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: if it's misleadingly edited or some of it's ai, I
Speaker 1: would like to know that that'll come out very quickly. Oh,
Speaker 1: here's the link to the address. In the address by
Speaker 1: posted on YouTube by the Reagan Presidential Library, the former
Speaker 1: president expounds at length on his commitment to free trade,
Speaker 1: which has been the Republican position for my whole life
Speaker 1: up until a year ago. Well, see, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Everything he said was the Republican position my entire life. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, is it possible Canada edited it in a
Speaker 1: creative way or something like yeah, yeah, but it does
Speaker 1: not mislead in any way as to Reagan's stance on
Speaker 1: free trade. Mm So have we bombed Martrell or I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'll have to check. Do you think though,
Speaker 1: that it could become a nationalistic thing with the whole
Speaker 1: World series kind of a mini version of Miracle on Ice.
Speaker 1: Are hockey players upsetting the Soviet Union? I mean, is
Speaker 1: a practically guarantee? Really wow, that that helps the anti
Speaker 1: If the crowd is not only excited about beating the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: but beating the United States, you are going to hear
Speaker 1: loud booing during our national anthem, oh wow. And Trump
Speaker 1: will of course sees upon that as a pretext for
Speaker 1: more anti Canadian aggressions. Okay, well, I'm definitely tuning in
Speaker 1: for the national anthem tonight then, and probably the game.
Speaker 1: The leader of Ontario, who's what's his name? Ford Doug Ford,
Speaker 1: the brother of the drunken galute who passed away. He
Speaker 1: has been forcefully ad cating for Canada to be more
Speaker 1: aggressive with the US in trade negotiations. He has said
Speaker 1: he's willing to curtail energy and mineral exports to the
Speaker 1: US in retaliation. Ontario, Canada's most populous province, has recently
Speaker 1: lost auto sector jobs partly because of Trump's tariffs, and
Speaker 1: so they're they're pissed. You know, we don't need to
Speaker 1: be in a trade war with Canada, for God's sake.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like the way they look
Speaker 1: at us. I'm not sure I can do this anymore?
Speaker 1: Can do what anymore? This what we're doing. Don't have
Speaker 1: it in me anymore. It's too tiring. Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: I was already kind of excited about the World Series,
Speaker 1: but this really makes it something. If you got that
Speaker 1: level of national passion going on, yeah, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he got hackers, You got hackers trying to hack you.
Speaker 1: There's a new way to tricky every day tech scams,
Speaker 1: data breaches. That's why this SI or Scaries month. You
Speaker 1: need Webroot Total Protection. So what is Webroot Total protection
Speaker 1: from lightning fast anti virus to identity theft protection with

Speaker 1: stock market up because even with the inflation, numbers beat expectations.
Speaker 1: And also the other thing we mentioned the World Series,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are heavy betting favorites. That league hasn't been
Speaker 1: tainted as it not since nineteen oh six. The Dodgers
Speaker 1: are heavy favorites to the biggest star in the game
Speaker 1: betting scandal. It was my interpreter. It was my interpreter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was his interpreter said. The league desperate to cover
Speaker 1: it up. According to some observers, that Rosier guy I
Speaker 1: heard this this morning, the player that I just watched
Speaker 1: that highlight video. One of those passes is absolutely inexcusable.
Speaker 1: I mean everybody makes mistakes, including pros. You'll see somebody
Speaker 1: drop a fly ball this week, sure, but I've never
Speaker 1: seen an NBA player make a pass like that. One
Speaker 1: is almost a handoff. AnyWho. That guy, he's made, I
Speaker 1: think totally in his career one hundred and thirty million
Speaker 1: dollars in salary and you end up in a game
Speaker 1: pretending to be hurt or throwing the ball away to
Speaker 1: satisfy some Well, you're gambling at it, right, right? Interesting? Okay,
Speaker 1: we got some mail bag on the way, lots of
Speaker 1: topics to get to todays stick with us. Okay. According
Speaker 1: to Bloomberg, the Canadian sliced and diced the original Reagan
Speaker 1: address in a way that is definitely not cool, changing
Speaker 1: it materially. I will look into this and we'll get
Speaker 1: that because Trump might have a point. I don't know
Speaker 1: about the tariff thing, but he might have a point
Speaker 1: that that is as not cool. Don't be cutting up
Speaker 1: former presidents and lying to us, I mean, what the hell? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear in what way it's a lie
Speaker 1: as opposed to just a concentration of their Bloomberg says
Speaker 1: the ad used selective audio and video clips and misrepresented
Speaker 1: the address. Okay, I'll read more on it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I hate when journalists so called characterize things as opposed
Speaker 1: to spelling them out for you. I don't trust you
Speaker 1: to interpret it for me. Just tell me the words here.
Speaker 1: Speaking of words, here's your freedom loving quotes of the day.
Speaker 1: Got to wrap up our series from the great Chinese
Speaker 1: warrior Sung Su. Be extremely subtle, even to the point
Speaker 1: of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.
Speaker 1: Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
Speaker 1: There's another one. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a good one, and finally he will win. Who
Speaker 1: knows when to fight and when not to fight. Most people, organizations,
Speaker 1: and countries cannot pretend inferiority. Your your pride won't let
Speaker 1: you right right. China did that systematically for decades and
Speaker 1: now now is ready to assert itself. Sung Tou style
Speaker 1: mailbag drop as an ope mail back at Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty dot com. Let's see uh si rights. He'd written
Speaker 1: an email about jihadis and getting virgins and how the
Speaker 1: numbers don't work out. You'd have to have never ever
Speaker 1: ending supply of virgins. But then he says, coincidentally, I
Speaker 1: was watching The Family Guy tonight and one cutaway gag
Speaker 1: was this Muslim suicide bomber entering heaven. When he gets there,
Speaker 1: seventy two virgins are seventy two nerdy teenage boys playing
Speaker 1: magic the gathering. Oh wow, ah, SE's McFarlane not Reverend.
Speaker 5: More.
Speaker 1: Seriously, you know we'll go with Aleen Anonymous with this one. Guys,
Speaker 1: the Florida truck driver that killed some people and the
Speaker 1: most recent truck driver that killed people in southern California
Speaker 1: both got their commercial driver's licenses in Yuba City, California.
Speaker 1: Aileen is from Ubi City. Shue Right, So my town
Speaker 1: has turned into a major trucking hub, which I hate.
Speaker 1: And many of the trucking companies are owned by Indians.
Speaker 1: We have the largest Indian population outside of India, and
Speaker 1: a lot of them don't speak English. There are accidents
Speaker 1: involving semis almost every day around here. I hope these
Speaker 1: disasters lead to an investigation into our DMV and these
Speaker 1: company owners that are clearly hiring their illegal family members
Speaker 1: and sending them out into the wild with no experience
Speaker 1: or understanding the signs and languages wow language, Rather, what
Speaker 1: kind of state allows that to happen? And the story
Speaker 1: out today is a guy flunked his test how many
Speaker 1: times before he finally got his license several And she
Speaker 1: signs off kh I T D Y GDM keep hiring
Speaker 1: illegals to drive your giant death machines. Wow, that's a
Speaker 1: horrible story. Yeah, will Gavin Newsom cover it up in
Speaker 1: the name of the we like Illegals cult? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let's see, we don't have a lot of time. We'll
Speaker 1: skip that one. I like Ricky. Ricky's a email here
Speaker 1: is a subject line is cash me outside Patel and
Speaker 1: we were scratching our head over cash. Mattel talking about
Speaker 1: we get you know how brave they were in bringing
Speaker 1: these charges and the pushback they got, and he points out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's always been a showman. You remember how he went
Speaker 1: off on how the Charlie Kirk assassin was brought to
Speaker 1: justice because of the full weight of the law when
Speaker 1: it was his dad convinced him to turn himself in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that at the time. Yeah, Okay, we got
Speaker 1: a lot more on that scandal. If you haven't heard it,
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting. If you missed a segment an hour,
