WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Tuesday Hour Four 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:13.800 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.919 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Caddy. 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:25.400 Arm Strong, and Jackie and he Armstrong and Caddy Strong. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:32.720 So it's graduation season, and particularly around colleges, it's the 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.520 time of the year where self important liberals get invited 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.640 to major universities to give speeches and then the media 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.400 covers them like a news event because they're saying the 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.959 sort of thing that most of the media agrees with. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.280 That's what happens well described. There are you know, people 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.680 who lean right that go to colleges that lean right, 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.120 the few that are, but they never make get any 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.360 news coverage, so you don't hear about them, including the 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.680 president instance. But here Joe mentioned this last week, I've 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.200 seen this starting to burble up and get more attention. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:13.600 Where was which university? Was he speaking at North Carolina 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.440 Wake Forest? Wake Forest in South Carolina, Carolina? I thought 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:23.959 Wake Force was South Carolina and not unless it's moved, Okay, it. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:24.720 Doesn't really matter. 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.399 It's you know, it's it's your your it's your major 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.880 figure of the left giving a lefty speech. But he 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.000 went over the top and one of the reasons it's 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.959 so remarkable is he's on one of the most important 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.160 news programs in the world, Sixty Minutes, which allegedly is 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.319 trying to be you know, a nonpartisan, hit it down 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:52.760 the middle sort of coverage, or at the very least fair, 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.840 just be fair, and a guy with this point of 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.360 view can't be doing that. This is Scott Pelley speaking 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.440 to college graduates. 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:06.680 Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:14.200 make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:22.040 definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:28.440 is now described as illegal, Equity is to be shunned. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.720 Inclusion is a dirty word. 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.959 This is an old playbook, my friends, there's nothing new 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.359 in this. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.520 We have another clip that I'm tempted to play. It's 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.440 all about the fear, be very afraid, We're all in 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.240 grave danger. Goes on and on, But that one really 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:57.760 caught my ear because he claimed that the center and 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.960 the right are trying to change the defaults of words, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:06.360 or say that they're no longer acceptable diversity, equity, and inclusion, 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.320 which we all know exactly what they mean, and we 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.919 all know they're wonderful. Those sickos on the right are 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:19.560 trying to change what they mean, which is just unbelievable. Diversity, equity, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.760 and inclusion coming out of the mouths of a leftists 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.160 mean nothing like you think they mean. It is a 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.960 tool of capturing institutions. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:27.720 Right man. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.680 The left is so good at this game, and they 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.320 get to pull it off with the help of the 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.720 complying to media. It's like what I was listening to 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.760 an on NPR today. They were discussing how Trump is 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.960 trying to change the way we teach history in America 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.200 and all the things he's attacking. Well, you put it 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.560 in there. What do y'all lead within the last ten years? 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.600 What they teach in schools is not the same as 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.040 what they taught in schools when I was a kid. 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.920 You put stuff in there that a lot of us 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:52.440 don't like. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.280 When Trump tries to take it out, that's not rewriting history. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.920 You rewrote history. He's trying to write it back to 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.080 what it was before. Sixty minutes anchor Scott Pelly ripped 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.920 for angry, unhinged commencement speech criticizing Trump. Now, that's the 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.680 New York Post's headline on that. Their version of it 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:15.280 but angry and unhinged is not far off. He said 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.200 that the uh we should all be worried about the 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.760 insidious sphere that has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.240 the nation, leaving America in a state of peril. The 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.039 country needs you. The country that has given you so 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.559 much is calling you, the class of twenty twenty five. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.280 Your country needs you, and it needs you today the morning. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.680 Our sacred rule of law. This morning, our sacred rule 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.920 of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack, universities 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.840 are under attack, freedom of speech is under attack, and 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.040 insidious fear is reaching throughout the schools and into our 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:56.640 private thoughts. All right, boy, that is just absolutely classic. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.040 You spend all of your time and your career convincing 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.280 people they need to be terrified, when there's like two 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.120 thirds of the country that's not at all, I mean, 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.200 from mildly concerned to very interested. But no, we're not 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.599 being torn apart by insidious. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:13.599 Fear at all. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.520 Scott, and the part right before that little clip about 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.320 power that we just played you the fear to speak 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.480 in America. If our government is in Lincoln's phrase, of 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.200 the people, by the people, for the people. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.120 Then why are we afraid to speak? What the effort 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.880 you talk about? Don't know? 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.200 I assume he's referencing that Columbia student that got snatched 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.919 up on the campus and that you were literally speaking 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.279 about how you're afraid to speak. Do you see the 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.560 irony there, Scott? Do I see the irony there? 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.520 Oh? 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.080 Now, the New York Post says the speech was received 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.640 with scattered, scant applause. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.599 That's the New York Post version. I don't know. I 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:56.520 haven't actually listened. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.200 They might say that, and that might not be true, 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.920 or it may be true, and it might be because 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.280 everybody's barely paying attention and they just want to get 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.080 out of there on a hot day. How long is 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.599 this going to last? As opposed to not enjoying what 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.640 he had to say, but that that is, that is 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.760 that is just craziness. It is just craziness. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.400 Yeah, I love the It reminds me so much of 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:22.120 when Komy braced the president so then he could lake 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.760 that leak that the president has. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.039 Been briefed on this Steele dossier. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:32.360 Well, so Scott Pelley and his brethren preached being terrified 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.760 and in fear all the time, and then he goes 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.359 to the graduation ceremony and breathlessly reports and everybody's really afraid. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.120 There's fear, in citious fear going on. Yeah, I wonder 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.880 where that in citious fear came from. It's the roughly 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.800 third of the country that listens to you and beliefs 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.240 your crap. Don't don't terrify them, then report that they're 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.839 terrified and act as. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.240 If somebody else did it. 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:56.920 Well, And as he stands up in front of a 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.239 bunch of university kids and said, now is the moment 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:00.840 your nation is calling on you. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.440 With all the fear to speak out. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.360 Yeah, the fear to speak out for the past quite 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.640 a while has been from anybody to the right on 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.680 any college campus because you'll be a physically attacked and 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.600 the university will do nothing about it. As long as 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.640 you as long as you speak progressive stuff, you're safe. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.200 You speak anything the other side, you're physically not safe. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.000 But you didn't care about that fear to speak out aspect, 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:26.240 did you, Scott Pelly? 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.120 You Pampus asked, not for a second, did you worry 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:29.480 about that? 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.280 And just to double down on what you're saying, And 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:37.240 it wasn't like the right half of ideology that was 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.240 afraid to speak out. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.120 It was the right eighty percent. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.440 Anything outside of the most radical leftism had to keep 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.120 its mouth shut on college campuses. And now Scott Pelley's 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.920 preaching that people are afraid to speak out. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.520 Yeah, oh my god, he is a piece of ass. 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.680 Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.000 reaching throughout our school, our businesses, our homes, and into 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.040 our private thoughts. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.040 What are you hands show a hans who's. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.080 Got insidious fear going in their business because they're afraid 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.440 to speak or whatever. Now, maybe the tariffs have got 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.600 you upset. I'll grant you that. Well, I'll tell you 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.960 what that is. I'll tell you what that's driving that is. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.800 He believes diversity, equity and quality inequality means diversity, equity, inequality, 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.640 that they mean those words, inclusion mean those words and 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.520 not what they've twisted them to mean. And it's so 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.120 that's what he's basing it on. So he is the 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.520 useful idiot. He is the big, famous, pompous, useful idiot 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.839 who doesn't understand neomarxism. He just he thinks it's a 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.560 moral ark. Well, I'll move on from this because we 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.320 don't need to belabor it forever. But do you think 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.280 do you think he doesn't know that college campuses are 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.400 not a safe space? I hate that term for anybody 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.120 to you know, on the right eighty percent? As you said, right, Yeah, 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:56.360 does he not ignore us? 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.360 Yeah? 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.319 I don't think he's a knowledgeable, insidious activist. I think 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:05.320 he is a pompous, rich, famous idiot, probably with big guns. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.800 Oh hey, tight shirts. Your shirt shrank in the dryer 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.480 or something. It's very tight, very impressive for an older man. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:20.080 I'm very impressive for an older man. Yes, you pompous pos. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:25.079 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.480 See Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:45.160 Who's your favorite Simpsons character?

I mean they've thrown in random people 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.800 over the years and kind of funny ways. Oh my god, 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.320 it's so and so. But this was part of an 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.160 overall episode in which they were explaining on how the 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:24.600 middle classes getting screwed has gone away back in the fifties. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.280 I mean they even they talk about this.

He was 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:57.880 the Obama's economic guy in Clinton's and he's a super 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.200 lefty anyway, he'd seriously be. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.560 More comfortable in Venezuela in the United States. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.120 Actually had all these charts that they were using on 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.959 The Simpsons about how wages haven't increased, of course, completely 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:15.440 leaving out the transfer payments of taxpayer money that are included. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.960 Blah blah blah, that sort of stuff. I don't want 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:17.439 to get off on that. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.040 It's just unbelievable that the Simpsons did an episode that 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:27.480 was like practically void of humor and just about economics 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.520 all from one side. And then at the end, and 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.120 if you already saw the episode, you know this. At 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.800 the end of the janitor character who's trying to explain 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:42.160 how awful America is in the incoming equality to Bart says, 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.880 Bart says, basically, what can anybody do at this point? 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.280 All we can do is burn it down. Bart says, cool, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.920 and he gets out his lighter and he goes to 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.800 start a fire, and the janitor says, no, that's a metaphor. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.880 I mean burn the system down. And that's the end 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:56.319 of the show. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:04.600 Wow, the Simpsons, the Services burned the system down the end. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.760 Holy crap. Isn't that crazy? 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:14.280 Jeesus, I'd say that, wow, Wow, Wow. I felt like 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.800 the politic The Simpsons were mostly non political for most. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.040 Of their years. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.320 Then there was some you know, like you're gonna get 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.480 out of anything on TV, you know, some of this 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.640 or that. But I mean, they made as many jokes 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.280 about Bill Clinton certainly as they made about George Bush 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.200 way back in the day. But this this was just 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.280 I mean, it was beyond anything I've ever seen on 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.920 any supposed entertainment show. Ever. Wow, I've got to watch that. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.439 Is it possible? I mean putting us at how outrageous 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.640 and dishonest it is. And you know again, I'd like 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.120 to get off on the economic arguments because they're almost 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.679 entirely false. But The Simpsons has already been has always 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.360 been written from the point of view of like, if 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:06.080 there's a continuum of like radical Marxist to ultra conservative, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.920 their writers have always been like thirty three percent like 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.320 liberal but moderate, sane liberal, sure, which is what I 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.520 expect out of all my sitcums. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.640 Misfit Hollywood types who write jokes for living right. Is 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.560 it possible that a third of the way on the 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:29.520 continuum is now ultra woke, neo Marxist because of the 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.160 hard swing left of the left. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.240 I was watching this episode with my kids, which they 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.400 didn't find entertaining at all. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.720 They wanted to turn it off. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.080 Because it just wasn't interesting to them a bunch of 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.600 economic statistics, but. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:45.800 I wanted to see the whole thing. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.560 I was just thinking, the writers must have decided, you 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.120 know what we have, We have the power to get 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.000 this message out and let's let's let's do it. 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.520 Let's take one episode and do it. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.120 That's all I could think, because they seem to a 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.680 banded in the idea of. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:03.480 Everything. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.200 The show was a car certainment, entertainment of cartoon sitcom. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.440 Really weird though. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.000 And to the point of burning down the system is 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.120 the only thing you can. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.080 Do neo Marxism. Wow. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.880 Well that the producers in Brass had to approve that too. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.000 I mean, the executive producers are aware of what the 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.240 episodes are, or at least the you know, the producers. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.080 These are such weird times. And why it's so ridiculous 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:35.239 by the way that people tag the Fox Television network 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.360 with the same view that they have about Sean Hannity. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:44.520 I mean, come on Fox News. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.160 know what, Yeah, I don't know. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.080 There's so many like obvious truths that we talk about 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.720 on this show that you almost never hear anywhere else. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.080 In the top five or ten is certainly that yes, 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.480 those wonderful manufacturing jobs where you could wander out of 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.360 high school across the street to the Ford Motor Plant 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.680 or whatever, make a nice middle class income by a house, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:06.720 a car in the suburbs. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.960 Blah blah blah, real with your frist. Europe was decimated 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.560 by World War Two and wasn't manufacturing anything but buildings, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.480 so they would have roofs over their heads. And in 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:23.040 Asia was to a large extent either pre industrial or 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:24.280 decimated by. 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.040 World War Two. So yes, we made the cars and 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.240 the toasters of the world. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.520 Everybody else was rolling around in rubble trying to find 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.080 their loved ones who died. That's close to word to 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.160 word what I said to my kids on a unfortunate 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.360 Saturday afternoon for them when they just wanted to watch 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.360 The Simpsons, because I was explaining that to him, and 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.280 I also said it the whole you used to be 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.240 able to have a house in a car and send 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.400 your kids at college on one income. I said, you 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.200 know those houses were looking at because we're looking at 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:51.880 houses that are way too small for us. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.000 That's the size house everybody. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.000 Used to live in on their one income, and everybody, 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.280 including the family I grew up in, had one car, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:16:58.960 so it. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.440 Was quite different light style. 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:06.720 Well, in the idea of country X, exporting toasters around 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.880 the globe was utterly impractical for various logistical reasons. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:11.399 Now it's quite practical. 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.520 You could have a big giant toaster plant in India 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.560 and cell your toasters around the world in a way 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.920 that was never possible in the fifties and sixties. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:19.960 Yeah, it's really interesting. 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.480 It's the most it's the name of the episode is 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:24.600 called Poorhouse Rock. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.960 I think it's the most recent episode that the Simpsons 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:31.800 have put out. Well, not very funny. The Armstrong and 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:32.520 Getty show. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:40.000 Yeah, yeah, your Joe podcasts and our hot links. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.080 In Los Angeles police breaking up crowns what appears. 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:51.320 To be the police called Leslieth, but. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.760 The large majority of the more than two thousand nationwide 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.600 so called no Kings events taking place without incident. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.920 Well, that's true, it's great, that's true. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.399 But that was a fair amount of Mayhem that you 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.679 just played for us, you know what I'm reminding you, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.400 kind of YadA YadA YadA, the Mayhem. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.399 Right exactly Mayhem and these eleven cities, But mostly it 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.600 was peaceful. It reminds me very much of the discussion, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:20.480 particularly about a decade ago, about moderate Muslims. 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:26.119 Well, no, sixty seven percent of Muslims don't want to 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.720 kill all the Jews and infidels and take over the world. Well, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:34.640 those folks are irrelevant to the discussion. There are plenty 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.520 who do want to do all those horrible, unspeakable things 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.720 and or set fire to cities and bash cops heads 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:40.520 in plenty. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.120 That's who we're talking about. Right. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.480 If I'm a cop and that one guy has thrown 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.840 chunks of cement at my head, I'm really interested in that, dude, 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.440 even if there are a thousand people over there peaceful. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:51.200 Right. 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.000 Right, two major things happened, and then we will discuss. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:57.879 Because you're busy with your life and your weekend, you 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.639 shouldn't even know this because you're in normal person and 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.560 you had summertime stuff to do, which I actually did do. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:10.800 But Trump Friday ordered immigration customs enforcement better known as 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:16.040 ICE officers. On Friday, he ordered them to stop conducting 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:22.639 raids and arrests on farms, restaurants, and hotels agricultural meatpacking plants. 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:27.400 Several news outlets reported the decision reportedly came directly from 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.399 the President. Our great farmers and people in the hotel 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.160 and leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.280 policy and immigration is taking very good, longtime workers away 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.040 from him. Those whose job as being almost impossible to replace. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.399 This is one of those deals where Trump comments on 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.119 the news of the day like he's. 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.200 A bystander, right, which is interesting. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.800 But so you know, the conversation had turned late in 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.280 the week last week toward you rounded up all the people. 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.119 You're showing up at farms and rounding up people have 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.560 been there for years? Is that what we want to do? 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.720 Blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, fine, so there's that. 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.000 We'll get back to that in a second. But then 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:09.159 yesterday Trump in like a tolstoying length tweet from this 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.080 from his outlet thingy, and I'll just read one sentence 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.720 of it because it's very, very very long. ICE officers 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.639 are herewith ordered by notice of this truth. 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.640 So I like that the policy comes out this way. 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.320 ICE officers are here with ordered by notice of this truth, 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.040 to do all in their power to achieve the very 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.520 important goal of delivering the single largest mass deportation program 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:34.200 in history. 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.639 And then he goes through all kinds of details and everything. 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:43.320 What's your gut reaction to those two announcements. I do 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.720 kind of like the quasi constitutional verbiage of by here 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.960 by declare according to my article seven powers under truth 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:53.760 social anyway. 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.840 Sorry, So what's your gut reaction of the ab there? 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:00.439 I don't know. Well, I. 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.080 Have one go ahead, I have an overarching theme about 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:07.520 all of this, But I don't I don't know. I 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.920 don't know what was going on with why he reacted 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.320 the way he did Friday, And was he backing off 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.119 that yesterday or is he is? 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:16.240 I don't know what he's doing. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.119 A The announcement about hey, we're backing off farms and 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.000 hotels and restaurants and meat packing plants and the rest 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:29.120 of it. In short, workplace raise was a realistic reaction 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:37.119 to huge sectors of the economy saying whoa WHOA. B 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:45.200
