WEBVTT - Wench! That's Old Timey! 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.280 Arm Strong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:28.480 President Trump announced this twenty five percent tariff on all 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.720 cars not made in the United States. 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:32.760 He says that these. 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.920 Tariffs kick in on April second, and the United States 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.960 will start collecting on April third. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.800 So just a couple of days away from twenty five 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.839 percent tariffs kicking on cars that aren't made in the 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.680 United States in theory, So if that happens, I have 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.520 no idea what that's going to do to the car market. 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.640 Neither does anybody else or she spends on how long 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.920 it lasts too, But wow, that's something. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.120 Yeah, I wonder if our folks flooding to the various 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.920 German car brand dealers to get in under. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.080 The wire or what. Well you you understand this stuff 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:12.959 better than me, so well that that will make all 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.440 cars more expensive, right one all cars can Yeah. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.440 Yeah, there are a lot of depends when you're talking 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.119 about tariffs and their effect on consumer prices, just because 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:28.360 of the different nature of different products, price elasticity. You know, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.480 how much competition there is domestically, there's just a bunch 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.400 of factors. But yes, it will make all cars more expensive. Well, 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.680 it's cars and part a little or a lot. And 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.560 I was looking at a chart yesterday. I wish I 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.240 had a screen captured because which is pretty interesting. Tesla 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.760 is one hundred percent every bit of it made in 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.120 the United States. That's why we're setting fire to them, 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.280 jack we Liberals. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.360 Then next you get to Ford, which is like seventy 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.560 five percent everything in the United States, and a couple 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.200 percentage of parts come from Mexico and Canada. Then some 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.360 stuff that comes from somewhere else. But then it just 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.320 it goes goes on down the road to where you 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.160 get to stuff that ain't ain't nothing made in the 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.000 United States with the different car makers, so it varies 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.440 from maker to maker. 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.679 Well, and a lot of the foreign you know makers 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:17.440 have gigantic plants in the US, so it's it's tough 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.280 to know just by the name or you know, yeah 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.800 it's Hyundai Korean. Yeah, but they've I think they have 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.320 a giant plant in Tennessee or something anyway, so that'll 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.519 be interesting to see unfold. It's all a bit chaotic, 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:33.160 if it's moving toward actual, more reciprocal tariffs, therefore lower 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:34.919 tariffs eventually. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:35.720 I'd like to see that. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.200 Plus, the Supreme Court needs to weigh in on whether 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.880 Trump can actually do what he's doing, citing in a 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:48.280 national emergency of of a fentanyl Therefore, we must put 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.639 a twenty five percent tariff on vmw's. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.880 God, I made a purchase yesterday. I just I can't. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.600 I don't know. There's some obstinacy in me driving this. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:07.160 This is a Tesla brand vehicle that is like the Ultimates. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.040 You go ahead, and I'm gonna and I'm picking it 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.239 up this weekend, and I'm gonna pull into my neighborhood 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.040 where there are people who still have Harris Walls signs 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.760 in their yard. Shame on you. And if your neighbor 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:25.040 gets a Tesla. At this point, I feel like it's 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:30.000 a deliberate message. I don't know. I just love the 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.600 I don't know. We'll see how this plays on. I 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.320 have a feeling I'm gonna get keyed within a week 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.840 in my tires slash. I better carry spare tires in 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.080 the in the bed, or you know, have your car 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.560 on constant video mode. It is automatically there's an upgrade. Yeah, yeah, okay, great. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.240 You know there's no way to prove this. I'm just 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.760 thinking out loud. Harris Walls was almost certainly, and I'm 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:57.240 scanning my memory banks now, almost certainly the lowest IQ 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:03.200 ticket in the history of American politics, presidential politics. I 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.080 could kick most of their ass. I could kick most 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.440 of their ass, like the right right cheek. Is that 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:09.840 what you mean? 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.080 Yeah, well yeah, and part of the left wing, yes, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:17.080 most of them, ask and then then the word salad somalier. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.600 Supreme Kamalo was at the head of the ticket. I mean, seriously, 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.240 you'd have to dig deep. I mean, Buchanan was a 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.440 bit of a paced eater. But anyway, uh speaking of the. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.680 Supreme Court is that was very childish though, I think, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.320 I mean, I mock this sort of thing. I like 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.680 two thirds wanted the vehicle anyway, but the extra third 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.560 that got me across the line is it's just gonna 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.120 annoy so many people that I don't mind annoying. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:50.640 Yeah, and I honestly, honestly though, I get what you're saying. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.800 We're all fighting back against the woke mind virus. The 0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.320 neo Marxists in ways great and small to the of 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.080 our ability. And that's a that's a signal of defiance. No, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.760 I am not going to bow down to you in 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.360 your wacky worldview. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:08.920 I like it. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.920 It's a little odd, but it's a tip of the cap. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.800 Look at you, go, yeah, look at you all right. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.360 So we don't just go over the news here and 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.560 talk about it and try to bring you perspective. 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:25.560 That's most of what we do. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:30.960 But this is more of a thinking thing here. The 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.239 Supreme Court is going to be looking at some cases 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:41.400 having to do with jerry mandering, drawing of congressional districts. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.960 Jerry Mandering is the old timey expression that means drawing 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.040 up congressional districts intentionally in a way to gain political advantage. 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.479 If you're not familiar with the term, and if you 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.720 were told in third grade, is illegal, yeah, absolutely unconstitutional 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.320 and moral, et cetera. We throughout the quote last from 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.760 Joseph Stalin. The people who cast the votes don't decide 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.599 an election. The people who count the votes to well. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.480 You could add to old Joe's wisdom here, the people 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.560 who draw the districts due And I remember this from 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.840 college when I was studying this stuff. Hearing what you're 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.360 about to hear, and as a wee lad of eighteen 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:28.120 nineteen years old, I had exactly the same reaction to 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.440 it now that I did. Then I'll lay it on you. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.760 So a couple of days ago, Monday felt like groundhog Day, 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.640 rights a legal analyst. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.559 It's the Editorial Board Journal. 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:47.000 Okay, there's yet another redistricting challenge, this one from Louisiana. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:51.080 And they say, if the Robe de nine are tired 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.320 of reviewing state maps because they're asked to over and 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.000 over and over again. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:54.760 North Carolina was. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.599 A big case recently and several others, they could declare 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:03.200 racial gerrymanders unconstitutional. Stop now, I have a feeling you're thinking, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.360 wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. You 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:10.400 can draw congressional districts to achieve a specific racial outcome. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:11.680 How does that. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.080 Square with Title two or nine or whatever, all the 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.400 you know, the Civil Rights Act, all that stuff. Well, 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:22.120 here's where it gets nutty. So Louisiana, like all the states, 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.120 trying to navigate this. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.360 World of conflicting rules. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.760 If states weigh race too heavily, they run a foul 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.480 of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. But if they ignore race, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.280 they can be sued for violating Section two of the 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.640 Voting Rights Act, and Louisiana has hit it both ways. First, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.520 you have progressives challenging the House map that the Republicans 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.680 drew up after twenty twenty because it included only one 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:55.080 majority minority district out of six. One out of six 0:07:55.160 --> 0:08:00.360 that would be seventeen percent. Right, Blacks make up thirty 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.600 percent of Louisiana's voting age population, and the plaintiff's reasons 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:11.640 that reason that two districts should be majority black, which 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:16.280 would make it thirty four percent of the districts. In essence, 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.240 what Section two says. It doesn't establish a right to 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.000 proportional representation. You don't have to demonstrate that, Hey, we 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.840 got one fifth black people in the state, one fifth 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.400 of the districts are majority black, and they'll always vote 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.560 for black folks. If I might depart from the facts 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.480 here for a second, what is this assumption that black 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.920 people have vastly different interests in electoral outcomes than white people. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:49.120 Where does that idea come from? Why would they I 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.920 would like good schools and opportunities to have a job 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.880 in a neighborhood where I'm not going to get passion 0:08:54.880 --> 0:09:00.640 over the head in my stuff taken says like everybody anyway. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.560 But the liberal plaintiffs cited the High Court's terrible nineteen 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.520 eighty six decision I won't bother the boring you with 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.000 that test requires minority populations to be large, compact, and 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.640 politically cohesive to constitute a majority minority district, and that 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.840 white votes sufficiently as a group to defeat of minorities 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.800 preferred candidate. Blah blah blah blah blah. Can't we just 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:30.559 get rid of this crap now, as like simple geographic 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.760 districts is possible that have the same population in them 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.200 and not these snaking, weird, manipulated districts. Is there anybody 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.560 who looks at that other than partisans who just want 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:43.440 power and says. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.480 Nice job with that district? Yeah, I know, doesn't every 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.320 American look at them and say, what the hell is that? 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.160 I spent most of my life, like I said, learning 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:51.800 in third grade that it was illegal, So I assumed 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.520 they didn't do that until we know. I got into 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.959 talk radio and started paying more attention and seeing how 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:00.080 various districts I've lived in were drawn, and that's absolutely 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.520 what happens all across the country. Yeah, so, Brett Cavallar. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.840 They work together to make sure they most The way 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.200 they set this up is they want like ninety percent 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.280 of seats to be safe, and then they fight over 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.400 the other ten percent. That's the plan of the two 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.520 major parties. It's an excellent point. Yeah. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.120 Brett Kavanaugh, god bless him, suggested during the oral arguments 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.360 that one way to deal with this is to reverse 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.840 that idiotic Jingles case in our Gingles in nineteen eighty 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.360 six and hold that Section two prohibits any consideration of race. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:30.880 Quote. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.920 The Court's long said that race based remedial action must 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:38.560 have a logical end point, meaning the Supreme Court during 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.319 its progressive years, said yeah, yeah, we're going to take 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.400 this essentially affirmative action stuff. But you're right, it shouldn't 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.520 go on forever. It's just to correct some wrongs of 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.880 the past, and it should have an endpoint. And there's 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.600 a chance anyway that the end point with our excellent, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.640 mostly conservative spring Court is nearing. I certainly hope. So 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.920 the way to get less racism is to have less racism. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:09.559 Go get them soups. So Russia launched a huge drone 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.840 attack on Karkivan, Ukraine today, and European leaders are having 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.680 a big meeting about bolstering Ukraine. Side that they're continuing 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.640 to talk about European troops in Ukraine. Is there anyway 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.679 Putin's gonna put up with that. I wouldn't think so. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.400 But anyway, they're actually talking about putting troops in Ukraine, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.400 like French, German, British. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.880 Wow y strong opinion on this. I will withhold it 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.480 until we were actually discussing it. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.400 Twenty six teams kick off the Major League Baseball season today. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.640 That's most of them as it is opening day. Got 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.120 some stats on that that are interesting. Among other things. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:48.319 On the way, arm Strong and Yetti, here. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.079 Are some tips on how to get your breakfast. It's 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.480 he to research beforehand. You know the layout of the 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.960 first floor of the hotel that you're going into, and 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.679 go to the elevators first, look like you belong. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.520 There, but also look like you don't. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.000 Need to be there, Like it's an inconvenience for you 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.680 to be there, just looks so busy. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:04.520 Be on the phone. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.160 The clipboard goes a long way. I'm already planning where 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.080 I'm going for breakfast next week, please grab stuff not 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.400 for yourself, the pre wrapped bagels and fru. 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:13.600 People always eat food. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:19.240 So that's a TikToker explaining how to steal basically, how 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:23.200 to get free breakfast at hotels when you're not staying 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.680 at the hotel. And yeah, I think we all know 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.679 you could do that. There's all kinds of things I 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.920 could steal and it wouldn't be that hard. So congratulations. 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.960 Yeah, you can get a free meal at the McDonald's too, 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.360 if you wait till you see a little kid holding 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.680 the bag and just snatch it away from them and run. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.679 That's some handy hints there, sweetheart. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.199 Speaking of TikTok, I just saw some polling on that 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.400 the support for banning TikTok has dropped a lot in 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.920 the last couple of years. That's interesting, is that because 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.360 Trump has completely switched one to eighty on it. I 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.400 don't know. Anyway, We got more of the NPR hearing 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.240 coming up in a little bit. I think you're gonna 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:06.959 like it's even worse than you thought. But Republicans grilling 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.800 the leader of NPR about past statements and beliefs and 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.000 why they're so biased, and if you haven't heard this stuff. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:13.400 It's good. 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.840 And just listening to this wench Lie and Lie and 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.120 Lie is amazing. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.400 You heard me. That's old timing. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.520 So Michael sent me this link from Google top searched 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.680 ballpark food on this opening day. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.480 Oh do we have Vince Scully ready? Michael? 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:27.719 Oh? 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.480 Yeah, here we go. 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.880 Yeah, you'll hear anyway. Oh and two, referenced on our 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:31.560 show more than. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.000 Once, socialism failing to work as it always does, this 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:40.160 time in Venezuela, to talk about giving everybody something free, 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.559 and all of a sudden there's no food to eat. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.000 And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.360 The daughter of Hugo Chavis. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:54.200 Hello anyway? Oh and two, So I don't know why 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.600 I would like the larger come much. Why How did 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.120 Vin Scully get start on his little socialism? Was bad screen? 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.280 In between pitches. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.000 It was owing to he knew the picturer'd waste a pitch, 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:08.760 so I figured, you know, and that was a good point. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.480 I wonder if it was like it was, you know, 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.720 mid mid season game. Maybe the Dodgers weren't that good 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.600 that year. He's a little bored. He's kind of like 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:20.520 looking over the newspaper. How freaking socialism he is. By 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.400 the way, socialism once again being proven it doesn't work. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.520 Guess who's the richest person, Venezuela. 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.040 I loved then before I heard that. After, please, I 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.760 want to statue to him speaking of the baseball structure 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.920 an economy. Anyway, Oh and too anyway, Oh and two. 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.200 I love you, Vin So Michael sent me this link 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:47.400 top searched ballpark food on Google, state by state. Okay, 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.280 hang on, why are you googling ballpark food at all? 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:52.320 You're only going to. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.480 Know whether to be a Yankees fan or a Mets fan. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.800 So I'm gonna google broughtwursts and see who has the 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:57.320 better one. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.280 Or I was going to go to my local team 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.240 and watch them. Or I'll hop on a flight because 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:07.800 they have hot dogs with cheese in Texas, Yes, excellent, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.440 not schows over there in Nevada. Yeah. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:15.040 I don't get what this is, Michael, anyway, I can't 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.200 imagining imagine searching on ballpark food. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.320 This is really interesting. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.920 Jared Diamond, Baseball's wealth gap has become a chasm, stretching 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.560 the sport to the breaking point. The financial disparity between 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:32.600 MLB's teams has never been greater, right, and it's leading 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:37.920 toward probably a long workstoppage and strike or lockout or 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:38.520 something like that. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:44.080 This year. It sooner or later. Here's the problem. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.280 You got the LA Dodgers, who are gonna lay out 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.640 nearly half a billion dollars on player salaries and luxury 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.520 tax penalties this year have a billion. The Mets are 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.800 just behind thanks to hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, who's 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:58.480 their new owner. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.880 So that's interesting. Number one media market LA, Number two 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.640 media market New York are one and two. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.320 Well, yeah, and LA's got a huge lucrative local TV 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.640 deal because they're a great team and a great TV market, 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.880 and there are a lot of Dodgers fans and it's 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.960 all about local money now because they don't share it 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.160 in the same way the other leagues do. I don't 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.320 have time to get into the details, and you probably 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.920 don't care anyway. But so you got four or five 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.560 hundred million dollars on the top end. Then you got 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.520 to Miami Marlins, who have a seventy million dollar payroll. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.560 Three other tevy million total. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.720 The Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago White Sox and Athletics all 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:41.680 come in under ninety million dollars. Wow, competing with teams 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.360 spending half a billion, and it just can't last. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.480 Now, that's why I tend to root for those lower 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.400 budget teams when they when they get on a roll 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.320 with a bunch of young players that aren't making that 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:53.840 much money, and you got to root for them that 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.360 year because if somebody stands out, they get snatched up 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:02.440 by the Yankees match Dodgers. Right, Yeah, absolutely so. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.879 The lying, lying she wolf of Marxism was dragged before 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.080 Congress yesterday and the results fantastic. 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.320 Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.880 Do you think the white people should pay reparations? 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.520 I have never said that, sir. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.200 Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.160 You tweeted yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, Yes, 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.280 our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:30.920 on this day. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.880 I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir. 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.080 What kind of reparations was it a reference to. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.119 I think it was just a reference to the idea 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.600 that we all owe much to the people who came 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:41.760 before us. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:46.680 That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Okay, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.160 how many? How much reparations have you personally paid? 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:51.080 Sir? 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.320 I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations. 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.040 Okay, just for everybody else. 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.280 I'm not asking anyone whoems. 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.159 To be what you're suggesting. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:06.879 Katherine Mayor of NPR again, and we featured a lot 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.560 of audio of Brandon Gill, a congressman, Brandon Gill questioning 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.160 her last hour. If you missed it, grabbed the podcast 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.920 hour two Armstrong and getting on demand or I'm sorry, 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.639 hour one. I guess, yeah, our one. And just remember this. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:26.520 Marxists like Katherine Mayer lie. They lie overtly, They lie 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:31.439 constantly because they don't expect, well, they expect nice. People 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.520 will think, why can't just call her a liar? Because 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.280 that just that seems mean and wrong. And people don't 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.919 just lie to my face. Oh yeah, she does. She 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:41.440 lies all the time. 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.360 I've never said that. I've never said that in my life. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.440 You tweeted it, Yeah, you did, specifically and at length. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.640 In fact, you recommended a book whose whole premise was reparations. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.000 Now I don't recall reading that book, sir, And by reparations, 0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:01.280 I didn't mean money. Okay, anyway, our good old friend, 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.760 the wrestler who we made friends with there in Milwaukee, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.760 Jim Jordan. He got his chance to question her also 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:08.400 in the hearing yesterday. Here's a little of that. 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:13.080 Is MPR biased, Congressman, I have never seen any instance 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.800 of never of pro political bias determining editorial decision. 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:22.960 Oh my god, god, wells mister Berliner in his story 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:27.280 a couple last year wrote, I've in the DC area 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.879 editorial positions at MPR. He said he found eighty seven 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:36.720 registered Democrats, zero Republicans. Mister Berliner, was he lying when 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:37.400 he wrote that. 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.000 I am not presuming such. I just don't have we 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.800 don't track that information about our journal. 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.000 Eighty seven to zero. And you're not biased, Congressman. 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.080 I do not believe we are politically biased. To know 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.760 we are a nonpartisan organization on partisan. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:55.679 Organization, what's the one? While I get your whole Marxist lifing, 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.760 I know plenty of people who believe that she might 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.720 actually believe that. I know Democrats who believe that because 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.000 they're so they're so in their side and only hang 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.360 around with those people actually makes sense to them. 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.359 I guess, oh yeah, I accept that, except for the 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.120 part that she might believe that. No, she's a dedicated activist. 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.040 This is the woman who said, and we played it earlier, 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:18.960 the truth can be a distraction. 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.560 We need to drop this search for the truth before 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.760 we get to more Jim Jordan. Since they asked particularly 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.520 about bias and her saying I've seen no evidence of bias. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.560 I mean, that's hilarious. I could turn on NPR anytime 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:34.600 of day and within five minutes find obvious bias, and 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.680 usually just in their story choice. They're covering a story 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:44.760 that only graduate student women in America are talking about. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.560 Nobody else in America is having a discussion about the 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.639 thing that they spend the next six minutes on whatever, 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.600 hammering it at length. All right, anyway, But so this 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.120 was NPR NPBS being grilled about this yesterday. These stats 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:03.520 came out yesterday from who is from the MRC whatever 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:11.560 they are media some Idio Research Council. PBS used the 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:15.639 term last year extreme right one hundred and sixty two times. 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.320 They used the term extreme left six times. So extreme 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.360 right comes up in the news a lot, extreme left 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.920 almost never. And then, even more egregious to me, coverage 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.200 of the conventions mentioned that we made friends with Jim 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:33.479 Jordan there in Milwaukee, the coverage on PBS of the 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:38.159 r NC was seventy two percent negative. The coverage of 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:42.640 the DNC in Chicago was eighty eight percent positive. I've 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.400 never seen any evidence of any political bias, so three 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.240 quarters negative to recover the Republicans, ninety percent positive to 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.919 cover the Democrats. That's just the way they see it. 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:57.280 We're a non partisan organization. More Jim Jordan, what's. 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.760 Happening to your listeners over the last five years? 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:00.320 Went up? 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:01.000 Down or stayed? 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:01.280 To say? 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.080 It has gone up and down and is now going 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:04.520 back up. 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.159
