Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jettie and no Hee arm Strong and Jetty.
Speaker 2: What they're telling the American people is that none of
Speaker 2: this would occurred if ICE just would have ignored their
Speaker 2: authority and the mandate given to them by members of
Speaker 2: Congress to go in there and remove dangerous individuals and
Speaker 2: other individuals from these communities. And so they're actually saying
Speaker 2: law enforcement and the ability to carry out lawful orders
Speaker 2: is what has caused this. I think that is a
Speaker 2: crazy position instead of putting the fault where it lies,
Speaker 2: which is you've got violent opportunists and the others that
Speaker 2: are taking advantage of the situation and going in there
Speaker 2: and causing a lot of violent activity.
Speaker 3: That's a pretty cool a name he's got there, that's
Speaker 3: Chad Wolfe, former DHS secretary. I don't think anybody, including
Speaker 3: me could have named him as a former DHS secretary.
Speaker 3: He was for a cup of coffee at the end
Speaker 3: of the Trump administration anyway, saying it's crazy to say
Speaker 3: that there'd have been no unrest if LA hadn't if
Speaker 3: Ice hadn't gone in So just ignore the law and
Speaker 3: let LA violate the law. We'll just give you a
Speaker 3: pass because you said you don't care. So what are
Speaker 3: we gonna do? And well, if you're going to enforce
Speaker 3: the law, you go in there and it turns into this.
Speaker 3: So I agree, how are.
Speaker 4: You gonna get around this? You're either going to enforce
Speaker 4: it or not.
Speaker 3: That is a bizarre point of view.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a fair amount of punditry here.
Speaker 1: Never arrest anybody. There will be no resisting arrest.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that is exactly what they're saying. That's a
Speaker 3: well summarized got some Republicans, got some Democrats that are
Speaker 3: going to weigh on this, all riughly roughly with the same.
Speaker 1: Take.
Speaker 3: Here's Britt Hume on Fox is their senior political correspondent,
Speaker 3: and I think he's very fair about Trump, very critical sometimes,
Speaker 3: but this is to the whole.
Speaker 4: These are peaceful protests, which number And.
Speaker 5: The other thing about this I don't understand it is
Speaker 5: I mean, people can look at this and tell when
Speaker 5: he says these are peaceful demonstrations, well.
Speaker 1: Some may be, but a lot of them are not.
Speaker 5: And you know, people do not approve of chunks of
Speaker 5: concrete and rocks being thrown at cars. They don't approve
Speaker 5: of cars being set on fire, don't approve against violence
Speaker 5: against law enforcement officers. And make no mistake about it,
Speaker 5: it's not the federal authorities that are federal troops that
Speaker 5: are in there that they're being attacked. It's the it's
Speaker 5: the local police. And this this talk by Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 5: the governor, Kal Governor Knwsom and others, Karen Bass the mayor,
Speaker 5: gives every appearance that they are on the side of
Speaker 5: these violent protesters. I think that's a tear a look
Speaker 5: for Democrats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brett Hume says, I have seen some things, but
Speaker 3: this is politically insane to be on the side of
Speaker 3: the protesters on this For the Democrats, I would agree. Okay, well,
Speaker 3: you say he's a Republican. How about Dan Turntine. You
Speaker 3: might not know his name. He's a big wheel Democratic strategist.
Speaker 3: He's the D that Mark Alprin has on his video
Speaker 3: cast every night. He has Sean Spicer as the R strategist.
Speaker 3: This guy Dan Tarantine as the D strategist. He's always
Speaker 3: on the side of lefties. But this is what he
Speaker 3: said yesterday.
Speaker 6: Politics, the optics of this are horrific. You have a
Speaker 6: major city in your state with people who are here
Speaker 6: illegally not waving American flags, waiting Mexican attacking the US property,
Speaker 6: federal officials, police cars, lighting them on fire locking highways,
Speaker 6: and that's what you're protecting. It says to the rest
Speaker 6: of the country, like these are our values. This is
Speaker 6: one where are.
Speaker 3: He pay with a Democratic strategists just beside himself. He
Speaker 3: goes on for some time about how awful this is,
Speaker 3: as they're trying to dig out of the hole of
Speaker 3: having lost the last election to be on the side
Speaker 3: of the attacking police waving Mexican flags right right. And
Speaker 3: I would say, the more you drill down into the chance,
Speaker 3: I mean, what's no ice, no KKK, no fascist USA.
Speaker 3: What percentage of Americans hear that and say, yeah, we
Speaker 3: don't want that? And what percentage say you people are
Speaker 3: radical scumbags, we don't want you A round?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't remember which pun did I heard make this
Speaker 3: point yesterday? But the George Floyd thing, as awful as
Speaker 3: it was, and most of us who are law and
Speaker 3: order of all stripes, didn't think that was okay. But
Speaker 3: at least you looked at the George Floyd video and thought, well,
Speaker 3: I can see why they're mad. Most of America is
Speaker 3: not looking at this and saying, oh, I can see
Speaker 3: why they're upset.
Speaker 1: You're here illegally.
Speaker 4: You gotta go, is what most of America thinks.
Speaker 3: So you're on the wrong side of it in every way, substance, method, tactic, everything.
Speaker 3: Here's John Miller of CNN. I don't know as politics.
Speaker 3: We all know where CNN is usually is a former
Speaker 3: FBI guy talking about who's doing this stuff.
Speaker 7: The law enforcement who already know who the You can
Speaker 7: call them anarchists. Some of them call themselves anarchists, you
Speaker 7: can call them agitators.
Speaker 1: They already know who they are.
Speaker 7: Their specialty in these things is taking the people who
Speaker 7: are there to protest for the actual cause, and then
Speaker 7: bringing their groups together and basically hiding in the middle
Speaker 7: of the crowd, egging people onto violence or committing acts
Speaker 7: of violence, and then going back into the crowd.
Speaker 1: They are opportunists when.
Speaker 7: They see a chance to confront the government, confront authority,
Speaker 7: and attach themselves to one of these issues.
Speaker 3: So Pam Bondi issued an indictment yesterday on one dude
Speaker 3: who seemed to be the ring leader of throwing cement
Speaker 3: at the police over the weekend, big junkson cement and
Speaker 3: his mask slipped down at one point, and with facial
Speaker 3: recognition technology, which scares the hell out of me, they
Speaker 3: figured out who he was very quickly. They know he is,
Speaker 3: They've already raided his house. They're going to find him.
Speaker 3: I can't believe over all these years that we haven't
Speaker 3: like really nailed down the ring or the group or
Speaker 3: the organization of these people that John Miller was just
Speaker 3: talking about. And I understand, at least in theory free
Speaker 3: speech concerns if it's a political movement or you know,
Speaker 3: they're having legitimate protests, But these we're talking about shipping
Speaker 3: pallets of bricks around. You remember during the George Floyd
Speaker 3: thing there would be mysteriously appeared pallets of bricks ready
Speaker 3: to be thrown through windows. Who bought the bricks, who
Speaker 3: shipped them? Where's the trucker all of that. Why is
Speaker 3: the FBI not on this?
Speaker 4: I don't know. And these are people who they believe
Speaker 4: in the whole.
Speaker 3: Propaganda of the deed idea, going all the way back
Speaker 3: to Black Hand and Franz ferdinhand just the idea of
Speaker 3: this is our this is our way of protesting violence,
Speaker 3: killing people, destroying things whatever. In addition to the Marxists
Speaker 3: just want to destroy society and the anarchist I don't
Speaker 3: quite understand anarchy. I've read a lot about it. I
Speaker 3: don't get it how it holds together as a philosophy.
Speaker 3: It just doesn't. It's ridiculous, it doesn't.
Speaker 4: So I'm not missing anything.
Speaker 8: No, No, I've tried and tried, and it just no,
Speaker 8: there's no there there. You get to the end of
Speaker 8: the rainbow and there's just chaos.
Speaker 3: If you're ever in Seattle, walk up the hill from
Speaker 3: the Pipe Place Market or the original Starbucks.
Speaker 4: You walk up the hill.
Speaker 3: There's a little bookshop there that is the number one
Speaker 3: anarchist bookstore in America. And I've sat in there and
Speaker 3: read the books and just tried to understand what the
Speaker 3: hell's going It just makes no sense. But you're claiming
Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: So no, it's a fantasy anyway.
Speaker 4: Is it just like a slightly more.
Speaker 3: Cerebral version of I'm spray painting this wall because I'm
Speaker 3: mad at the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair.
Speaker 8: I understand it as a philosophy. It's a useful mental
Speaker 8: exercise to really take a look at anarchy and the
Speaker 8: idea that any interaction which isn't voluntary is improper.
Speaker 1: Outside of the obvious, if.
Speaker 8: You're trying to murder me, I'm going to hit you
Speaker 8: in the head, and that's involuntary on your part, certainly
Speaker 8: from your point of view. But and it helps to
Speaker 8: understand the proper encroachment of order upon liberty, in my opinion.
Speaker 8: But like as something to strive for, No, it's looney tunes.
Speaker 8: It ignores all of human activity from the moment we
Speaker 8: emerged from the primordial ooze.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, a couple more things I'll read and than
Speaker 3: an ultimate point that I'll make, and then I will
Speaker 3: shut up about this because I find the whole thing
Speaker 3: just really quite fascinating. Here's US Senator John Fetterman, Democrat, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration.
Speaker 3: But this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos.
Speaker 3: My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse
Speaker 3: to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting
Speaker 3: law enforcement.
Speaker 1: Yes, he gets it.
Speaker 3: Here's a guy who writes for The Atlantic. I don't
Speaker 3: care if you're raising Kenosha, storming the capitol, or doing
Speaker 3: whatever this is in LA. No democracy can function when
Speaker 3: every group, an identity block, decides it as the right
Speaker 3: and moral authority to take its specific political disagreements into
Speaker 3: the streets. I've heard a number of people bring this up,
Speaker 3: and I think it's actually true.
Speaker 1: We have a.
Speaker 3: What protests are problem in this country that stems from
Speaker 3: the sixties, because it was a just cause with a
Speaker 3: good re result that almost all Americans agree in civil rights,
Speaker 3: you know, ending up where they were supposed to end
Speaker 3: up one hundred years earlier, black people finally being able
Speaker 3: to vote, go to school, all these different sorts of things.
Speaker 3: But because of those protests, and a lot of them
Speaker 3: violent and you know, often violence on the side of
Speaker 3: the cops with fire hoses and dogs. But because of
Speaker 3: those protests, we kind of got in our bloodstream this
Speaker 3: idea that that's what protesting is.
Speaker 4: But that's not what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to.
Speaker 3: Be a very very orderly, get a permit, march with signs,
Speaker 3: try to register voters for the next go around of election.
Speaker 4: Write some legislation. That's what the process is supposed to be.
Speaker 3: But because of the success of the sixties protests, we've
Speaker 3: kind of just got it into our heads, or some
Speaker 3: people have that this is what you do all the time.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: A couple of principles, the second of which was new
Speaker 8: to me the other day. But the first is, just
Speaker 8: because you're angry doesn't mean you're right. People are angry
Speaker 8: and wrong all the time. Do not assume that because
Speaker 8: somebody is chanting and yelling they are correct. They may
Speaker 8: well not be. And the second thing is, and there's
Speaker 8: probably a formal name for this, but the idea of
Speaker 8: it is we unconsciously measure the righteousness of a cause
Speaker 8: by the extremeness of the protest. For instance, among certain people,
Speaker 8: there is an assumption that if Hamas is going to
Speaker 8: slaughter a bunch of Jews, rape the women, murder the babies,
Speaker 8: et cetera, take hostages for years plus, murder them, hold
Speaker 8: onto their bodies, that must be I can assume safely
Speaker 8: because the horrors perpetrated against them are are commensurate. Right, right, that,
Speaker 8: And it's a weird assumption we make as human beings.
Speaker 8: And there are a thousand examples of where that was
Speaker 8: absolutely not true, and religious extremism is a good place
Speaker 8: to start. But yeah, I think people, soft headed, well
Speaker 8: meaning people make that assumption all the time. These people
Speaker 8: are throwing chunks of concrete at cops because that's how
Speaker 8: bad the oppression of these poor immigrant people is. No,
Speaker 8: their anarchists want to overthrow Western civilization.
Speaker 1: There was one more thing. Oh, the one thing.
Speaker 8: That's been reassuring to me lately is having seen poll
Speaker 8: after poll after poll about this sort of thing, or
Speaker 8: men playing in women supports the rest of it, You realize,
Speaker 8: you know, everybody's been agreeing with me all along. We're
Speaker 8: like seventy five eighty eighty five percent strong, and we
Speaker 8: all got deluded, or at least some of us did,
Speaker 8: misled by the idea that the media portrayed, which is that,
Speaker 8: oh no, it's actually only a very small minority people
Speaker 8: who think we should enforce the law, and they're fascists
Speaker 8: and racists.
Speaker 3: Probably well, I would say, if you're an actual racist,
Speaker 3: or you're anti any immigration at all, like Steven Miller
Speaker 3: or whatever, you couldn't buy with money, moutchotin arrow better
Speaker 3: propaganda for your side than what I'm looking at at
Speaker 3: TV right now, big shirtless guy waving a Mexican flag
Speaker 3: throwing things at cops. You couldn't do better for your
Speaker 3: side than that, which is quite the result. Any thoughts
Speaker 3: on that text line four one nine kftcrong?
Speaker 9: In New Mexico, battery consists of the un lawful touching
Speaker 9: of another person in a route and insulent manner. So
Speaker 9: in this case, we don't have any touching of another person.
Speaker 9: New Mexico doesn't have a statue that makes it criminal
Speaker 9: for someone to mess with someone else's food or pee in.
Speaker 6: A water bottle.
Speaker 9: While the act was gross and not right, it's not
Speaker 9: a crime in New Mexico.
Speaker 4: What happened there?
Speaker 8: You got a bunch of jug peers in New Mexico, Jack,
Speaker 8: nearly three months after a sixteen year old the Rio
Speaker 8: Rancho JV baseball player admitted to peeing an imposing team's
Speaker 8: water jug during a game.
Speaker 4: During the game, how in the heck did he go?
Speaker 3: He walk around the field to the other dugout, hey
Speaker 3: look over there a bear and then grabbed their jug.
Speaker 4: Compete was that center fielder?
Speaker 8: Oh jimmy, Yeah, he's got an unbelievable arm and he
Speaker 8: can pee thirty feet. The Sandoval County District Attorney's office
Speaker 8: said it was not a crime because it was innate
Speaker 8: in the jug.
Speaker 4: Because it wasn't in a violent or indolent manner, which
Speaker 4: was the rules.
Speaker 8: Former prosecutor and current state Senator Mo Mastis disagrees. Quote,
Speaker 8: if I spit in somebody's hamburger and they take a bite,
Speaker 8: that's a battery.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, I don't know which one's worst,
Speaker 3: but yeah, were urinating in my water jug?
Speaker 2: Yes, Katie, Well, we just had that story a couple
Speaker 2: months ago about that janitor that was peeing.
Speaker 3: In the coworker's water bottles and he got aggravated assault.
Speaker 4: Which sounds in Houston, which sounds appropriate to me.
Speaker 3: If you spit, we will not acquit. That would be
Speaker 3: my policy. If you spit, we hit. That's what Trump says.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 8: According to an email sent to parents, some students drank
Speaker 8: from the contaminated jug. The team was facing fifteen battery charges.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 8: You know, I've been sitting on a story for a
Speaker 8: long time about how New Mexico is the only Southwestern
Speaker 8: state that's not experiencing an economic boom. It's because it's
Speaker 8: so lefty and so overregulated, so completely stifling of business
Speaker 8: and liberty.
Speaker 3: Well, Michael after, because we were discussing the peeing in
Speaker 3: the drug story during the commercial break to get it
Speaker 3: set up, and Michael said, and that's a reason why
Speaker 3: you shouldn't go to New Mexico. Like New Mexico's off
Speaker 3: limits as a state because of this one little that.
Speaker 8: Seems sensible to me. I tell you what, keep your
Speaker 8: jug covered right, like being a woman at a bar.
Speaker 8: Don't believe you drink unattended, somebody's gonna pee in it,
Speaker 8: and lawless and apparently overhydrated New Mexico.
Speaker 4: How old was the kid? Do we have an age
Speaker 4: on this?
Speaker 1: I think I said he was fifteen.
Speaker 3: Sixteen, sixteen. You're getting a little on the older side
Speaker 3: for me writing it off as youthful hijinks. No, that's sociopathic.
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it is, definitely, but I would be
Speaker 8: curious to know more about the youth.
Speaker 4: I think, like twelve year old.
Speaker 3: It's still weird. I would be very unhappy if my
Speaker 3: kid didn't worry about them.
Speaker 8: But of course, you know, pranks a long part of
Speaker 8: baseball war, I mean shoe shoe pooping. I remember back
Speaker 8: when I played, that was a big thing. First go
Speaker 8: on the bat. One hundred different pranks is all in fun.
Speaker 3: The old hotfoot maybe, uh, you know, drop a deu
Speaker 3: summer sandwich.
Speaker 1: Just fun, just kids, kids, you know what.
Speaker 3: It keeps the dugout lights, keeps everybody's spirits up, you know.
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you whose spirits are not up.
Speaker 8: The mainstream media right now they are getting absolutely devastated,
Speaker 8: not just because they suck, and they do suck. It's financially.
Speaker 8: We'll explain in moments, hang out if you can't stay.
Speaker 1: With Armstrong, Andy, do we have a.
Speaker 4: Brand new Gavin Newsom saying come arrest me?
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, exciting, stop arresting, resisting Gavin, stop resisting.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's two days in a row. You've threatened.
Speaker 1: That would be troubling.
Speaker 8: I've what I threaten no one, sir, but the liars
Speaker 8: with my truth bombs or something.
Speaker 4: I've threatened the liars with the truth bombs. You're like
Speaker 4: accusing me on the air of threatening a.
Speaker 3: Government official, You lunatic.
Speaker 1: I just don't. You can't say that.
Speaker 4: I don't know how I'm supposed to interpret these things.
Speaker 1: Check ass.
Speaker 3: I hope You're gonna bail me out when Gavin's secret
Speaker 3: police come for me.
Speaker 1: So what was there?
Speaker 8: Was something else I was gonna saying, Oh, well, we'll
Speaker 8: have that stuff coming up. This is the brilliant Nelly
Speaker 8: Bowls of the Free Press writing about a story that
Speaker 8: was the only thing anybody was talking about for like
Speaker 8: two days. And that's one of the interesting aspects of
Speaker 8: the modern world and the twenty four hour news cycle
Speaker 8: and the chaos and madness is just when we're getting
Speaker 8: anywhere close to making sense of something or truly understanding it,
Speaker 8: five other things happen and just you move on. I'm
Speaker 8: talking about the Egyptian immigrant, Islamic supremacist jew hating anti
Speaker 8: Semite who set fire to those poor Jewish people in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 3: You probably remember that story from three years ago, what
Speaker 3: was it two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Or last week? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, So Nelly Bowls in the Free Press rightes. Mohammed
Speaker 8: sal Egyptian immigrant, is accused of firebombing a small weekly
Speaker 8: vigilant Boulder held for the Israeli hostages. Solomon, who reportedly
Speaker 8: had a tourist visa then a work authorization under Biden,
Speaker 8: both which had expired, but it was the era of immigration. Yolos,
Speaker 8: he was in Colorado Springs having a blast, said he
Speaker 8: did it for Palestine.
Speaker 1: According to authorities, he was quite direct.
Speaker 8: Immediately getting back to Nelly, Now, given that reporters were
Speaker 8: in favor of that movement, the mainstream media had a
Speaker 8: few options to disappear this one, and they tried them all. First,
Speaker 8: they tried to make it sound like the opposite. Maybe
Speaker 8: this was an attack on a protest for Gaza. Ever
Speaker 8: considered that, and she shows the NBC News headline multiple
Speaker 8: Gaza hostage awareness marchers injured.
Speaker 1: An attack in Boulder.
Speaker 8: Gaza hostage awareness marchers.
Speaker 1: Fine, that didn't stick.
Speaker 8: What about the attacker was a lone wolf whose act
Speaker 8: had no political implications? You ever thought of how hard
Speaker 8: it is to make town squares into military grades corridors?
Speaker 1: That's the question asked.
Speaker 8: Now, she's referring to another NBC News headline, Lone wolf
Speaker 8: attacks on Jewish Americans in Boulder and DC highlight the
Speaker 8: difficulties in securing public spaces. Those insecure public spaces are
Speaker 8: the real criminals.
Speaker 1: If you ask me, she says.
Speaker 8: Others asked us to consider whether the elderly Jewish Americans
Speaker 8: Mohammed allegedly sent on fire, were truly peaceful. Here's CNN.
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, So, oh my god, is this going to
Speaker 4: be CNN.
Speaker 3: So so many news sources have gone with what's happening
Speaker 3: in la is peaceful. Now they're going to try to
Speaker 3: claim this thing in Boulder was not peaceful.
Speaker 8: Wow, Here's CNN. A man reportedly set people on fire
Speaker 8: in Boulder, Colorado, leaving multiple individuals injured. The city's police
Speaker 8: chief said as people gathered for a peaceful pro Israeli demonstration,
Speaker 8: they put quotes around peaceful.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, we're.
Speaker 8: Getting somewhere, and actually we just need to forget those
Speaker 8: charred Colorado Jews and focus on the flamethrower's family. The
Speaker 8: only victim USA Today chose to profile was the suspected
Speaker 8: molotov man's daughter quote Bolder. Suspect's daughter dreamed of studying medicine.
Speaker 8: Now she faces deportation. Yeah, very smart to keep her
Speaker 8: centered here Now we're cooking. ABC News thought it was
Speaker 8: a good peg to note that Islamophobia is the real problem,
Speaker 8: not anti Semitism.
Speaker 1: Wow, and I quote ABC News.
Speaker 8: While some politicians and pro Israeli activists have used anti
Speaker 8: Semitism as a catch all word for an alleged motive
Speaker 8: in the attack. The suspect told investigators, quote, this had
Speaker 8: nothing to do with the Jewish community.
Speaker 1: Nelly rights.
Speaker 8: Well, that clears it up, Thank you, ABC. I was
Speaker 8: worried for a sec but if it has nothing to
Speaker 8: do with the Jewish community, I'll just go ahead and
Speaker 8: stop locking my door. So, in conclusion, nothing happened. It's
Speaker 8: weird to jump to that conclusion potentially as amophobic, and
Speaker 8: if it did happen, it's not what you think. Also,
Speaker 8: do we really want to discourage doctors from Oh I'm
Speaker 8: sorry that was oh do we really want to discourage
Speaker 8: young doctors from practicing in America?
Speaker 1: Sounds anti American if you ask me.
Speaker 8: And if we get rid of the doctors who will
Speaker 8: treat the burns of the people who had a Molotov
Speaker 8: cocktail thrown.
Speaker 4: At them, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is. It is.
Speaker 8: Anyway, the media, which is earned most of the derision
Speaker 8: heaped upon them. I'm not sure they earned this, but
Speaker 8: it's just interesting. From a business perspective, news sites are
Speaker 8: getting crushed by AI for some reason. The Wall Street
Speaker 8: journalists are getting crushed by Google's new AI tools. Well,
Speaker 8: I guess, okay, I understand why.
Speaker 1: People go to Google.
Speaker 8: Still a lot of people, I guess and say what
Speaker 8: happened in Colorado Springs? And instead of getting a dozen
Speaker 8: different news sites links, it gets that AI summary.
Speaker 3: Which is what I usually read if I use Google.
Speaker 3: But now I've kind of moved on to chat GPT.
Speaker 3: Although there was a who was it? Washington Post I
Speaker 3: think broke down the four top ais out there, and
Speaker 3: they did not choose chat GPT as the best one.
Speaker 3: I forget which one they did, but that app is available.
Speaker 1: Also.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got to dig back into that because I
Speaker 8: read a long piece that tried like six of them
Speaker 8: doing six different tasks, and the ranks changed like for every.
Speaker 3: Tax right, which is an excellent point because I am
Speaker 3: going to use it for mostly just kind of general searches.
Speaker 3: I'm not an academic or a movie maker or you know,
Speaker 3: so I don't need some of the specific stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's worth digging into. It probably changes week
Speaker 8: to week too, as they'd continue to develop stuff. But anyway,
Speaker 8: back to the damage done to the poor beleaguered media,
Speaker 8: which includes us.
Speaker 1: But although the web.
Speaker 8: Search thing doesn't really affect us at all traffic from
Speaker 8: search to huff Pose, desktop and mobile website. It's felt
Speaker 8: by just over half in the past three years. Over half, wow,
Speaker 8: And by nearly that much. At the Washington Post, Business
Speaker 8: Insider cut twenty one percent of its staff last month
Speaker 8: because of this, well everything.
Speaker 4: I hadn't thought about this, but.
Speaker 3: How many fewer news sites have I clicked on just
Speaker 3: in the last couple of months because of this? Lots
Speaker 3: and lots Yeah, fifty five percent website traffic decline between
Speaker 3: April twenty two and twenty five wow. And the problem
Speaker 3: with that is that is not necessarily good news. I mean,
Speaker 3: we don't want to starve more news outlets into even
Speaker 3: being crappier or out of existence.
Speaker 8: And depend on Google's probably woke AI to deliver our
Speaker 8: only view of the world.
Speaker 1: That troubles me a lot.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely the Internet, which is decimated local news. It
Speaker 3: just crushed the vitally important localism of media. Now it's
Speaker 3: even crushing the super giants, the national platforms. I don't
Speaker 3: know what's going to emerge out of this news wise.
Speaker 3: It's going to take a while.
Speaker 9: Though.
Speaker 8: The one practically modernity proof news outlet, the monstrous New
Speaker 8: York Times. The share of traffic coming from organic search
Speaker 8: to the paper's desktop and mobile websites SLID is thirty
Speaker 8: six and a half percent in April twenty five, from
Speaker 8: almost forty four percent. Oh, I see, okay, so it
Speaker 8: declined like eight percent according to total percentage of their traffic.
Speaker 3: I mean, the closest thing I've got to local news
Speaker 3: in my small town, though there's still a newspaper that
Speaker 3: I don't subscribe to, is next door. And you got
Speaker 3: to wade through the Has anybody seen my cat? Or
Speaker 3: would anybody like an old sofa to get to, you know,
Speaker 3: any news?
Speaker 8: To paraphrase Willie the Gardener on The Simpsons, I.
Speaker 1: Hate your cat.
Speaker 3: Oh it's an accent, and your cat pooped to my
Speaker 3: lawn and I hate that too, hate hate.
Speaker 1: He's a Scotsman, you see, he drops the hate that
Speaker 1: he drops the h U see it's a it's a shock.
Speaker 8: What seemed like his shocking revelation is not that much
Speaker 8: so much more Monday back to you.
Speaker 4: I vote we isolate it and use it after.
Speaker 3: We have a new AI Trump, when I'm looking forward
Speaker 3: to love it.
Speaker 1: When this starts, all you get, Oh my god, what.
Speaker 3: We'll have to discuss this because I, oh, well, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: To discuss it.
Speaker 3: And hell, I'm worried about the not giving it away
Speaker 3: on some of this AI stuff and where this is
Speaker 3: headed because people are gonna think they heard that, they're
Speaker 3: going to repeat to friends. It's not gonna be good.
Speaker 3: War of the World's, et cetera. Yeah, so we'll explain
Speaker 3: what we're talking about next day.
Speaker 10: Here, my fellow Americans, it is with overwhelming enthusiasm that
Speaker 10: I am declaring that anyone who protests or interferes with
Speaker 10: ICE and their operations is officially.
Speaker 1: Gay big times.
Speaker 10: With that being said, go ahead and call your dads,
Speaker 10: tell them about your alternative lifestyle as a gay communist,
Speaker 10: and then, who knows, maybe eat a lollipop. I don't
Speaker 10: know what flamers do with that time, but I'd imagine
Speaker 10: it's something along those lines. Maybe decorated bathroom. Who knows.
Speaker 10: In either case, this is who you are now, and
Speaker 10: everybody knows.
Speaker 4: That cat's out of the bag.
Speaker 10: Kat is out of the bag.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Now that one's pretty obviously AI because of what he said,
Speaker 3: but not like partially because Trump's seltz are loose cannon.
Speaker 3: I mean you know if that was George W. Bush,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, not a chance.
Speaker 4: But wow, I I don't know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the guy who's doing those videos right now, and
Speaker 8: they're great up in the top left corner whatever it is.
Speaker 8: Towards the end it says this is AI obviously his
Speaker 8: point being, folks, you got to get hip to this.
Speaker 1: All right, it's the era of anything could be fake,
Speaker 1: get hip to what.
Speaker 8: Don't believe anything, correct, Okay, yeah, don't believe anything from
Speaker 8: any source. Oh goodie, all right, well you can believe this.
Speaker 8: This is one hundred percent authentic audio. It's time to
Speaker 8: get to know the protesters. Who are these people smashing
Speaker 8: stuff up and lighting fires and trying to assault brave
Speaker 8: police officers and chanting against ice and the KKK.
Speaker 1: What are they thinking? Let's find out.
Speaker 11: We don't agree with the term illegal. We're on documentary.
Speaker 11: We've been here for thousands of years before you guys
Speaker 11: showed up screw up everything. We think we should organize
Speaker 11: together with the US working class and fight together and
Speaker 11: create a very system. We're anti capitalists. We think socialism
Speaker 11: does work, real socialism, not Venezuela, not Cuba, not any
Speaker 11: of that craft that they try to sell us in
Speaker 11: socialism and we will leave. It would be a more
Speaker 11: humane system that will take care of most of all
Speaker 11: people's necessities.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a lot there, Okay, there is a lot there.
Speaker 3: There are like eight different topics there. Do you want
Speaker 3: to delve into any including the classic socialism works? It
Speaker 3: just hasn't been tried in its purest form yet. Though
Speaker 3: he's gets distorted by somebody, surely he firms up his argument.
Speaker 2: Here, is there a country we can look to to
Speaker 2: kind of model the socialism idea?
Speaker 11: The only model would be Soviet Union. In the first
Speaker 11: four years after that it became a mess. Sadly there
Speaker 11: was a bureaucrat leadership that grew out of that. But
Speaker 11: it has to do mainly with the attacks of the
Speaker 11: US and all big powers against That's the that was working,
Speaker 11: and a few years that it lasted, they showed the
Speaker 11: world that it could do much better than capitalism.
Speaker 3: All we gotta do is hang one thousand kulaks. Lennon said,
Speaker 3: for somehow, for whatever reason, that early period of the
Speaker 3: Soviet Union got away with being no that worked. That
Speaker 3: was the gens in Stalin took over. That things got bad,
Speaker 3: and yeah, Okay, no, wow, I feel like, can I
Speaker 3: sum it up the strength to even respond to that argument.
Speaker 8: It's like that whole no socialism hasn't been done right yet.
Speaker 8: If you do it right, it's I put it right
Speaker 8: up there with fashioning shoes out of sliced salami. Just
Speaker 8: hasn't been done right.
Speaker 3: If you use sausage casing as the laces, salami shoes.
Speaker 1: Could really work. Oh.
Speaker 4: I feel like a hot summer day that would get
Speaker 4: a little gamy.
Speaker 3: People still arguing that no, no, no socialism will work.
Speaker 3: Oh good lord. You know, rather than argue this because
Speaker 3: there's no point. Maybe the important thing is, like you say,
Speaker 3: a lot of these people on the streets or you know,
Speaker 3: or Marxist or Communists or whatever, they actually.
Speaker 8: Believe that as yeah, yeah, what's compare and contrast? I
Speaker 8: think this might be useful. This is a woman, I
Speaker 8: think she makes it clear herself is a lawful immigrant
Speaker 8: to the United States of America.
Speaker 1: Michael, I am.
Speaker 12: A legal immigrant, and I want to tell you something.
Speaker 12: I'm discussed by what people from other countries like Mexico
Speaker 12: are doing right now in my new country. I came
Speaker 12: from Mexico. I came legally I have work all my
Speaker 12: life here to get what I have. I didn't come
Speaker 12: here to get something from the government. I came for
Speaker 12: an opportunity and I got it, and I have the
Speaker 12: American dream. What about all of those people protesting in
Speaker 12: California and New York? What are they doing? They are
Speaker 12: burning the city. If you don't like to be deported
Speaker 12: and you want to stay here, you have to have
Speaker 12: your best behavior, not the worst behavior. You think that
Speaker 12: we want you here with that behavior of burning cars,
Speaker 12: burning the entire city. Why and for the people that
Speaker 12: are defending these violent attackers, people that don't deserve to
Speaker 12: be here, Shame on you. You are waiving the flag
Speaker 12: of another country that your love go. You don't need
Speaker 12: to be here, you don't deserve to be here, You
Speaker 12: don't deserve another opportunity in this country because apparently you
Speaker 12: don't love this country like I do, So go away.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't understand why that nuance doesn't seem very complicated.
Speaker 3: Isn't more prevalent in the Democratic Party? Lots Hispanics don't
Speaker 3: like illegals either.
Speaker 8: Boy, that little gallant pinata on those socialist scumbags, didn't
Speaker 8: she love that, absolutely love that you know, we we
Speaker 8: haven't talked about San Francisco.
Speaker 4: You're you're pretty.
Speaker 3: You like you got a little little little shot of
Speaker 3: endorphins out of that, didn't you? What the whole pata
Speaker 3: thing you was a useful metaphor. You're feeling good about yourself.
Speaker 8: So the protests set spread to San Francisco, testing the
Speaker 8: resolve of the new mayor, who's doing a fabulous job.
Speaker 8: Daniel Lourie ran as a moderate Democrat, and he's cleaning
Speaker 8: up the street as fast as they can. So thousands
Speaker 8: of people march for miles Monday night before police declared
Speaker 8: an unlawful assembly around ten o'clock. Contingent refused to disperse,
Speaker 8: appeared to resist arrest, and were met with force by
Speaker 8: the SFPD.
Speaker 1: Shout out to our friends in the San.
Speaker 8: Francisco Police Department, who warned they would deploy chemical agents,
Speaker 8: batons and projectiles and if anyone else tried to flee,
Speaker 8: sticks and.
Speaker 1: Listen into this.
Speaker 4: I have I had a friend in college.
Speaker 3: You got in fights a lot of He always said,
Speaker 3: nobody's tough in a stick, distracting me that and that
Speaker 3: statement came after about one hundred and fifty arrests by
Speaker 3: San Francisco police on Sunday, more than double the number
Speaker 3: reported by the cops in LA.
Speaker 8: The takeaway so far the city is seeing a new
Speaker 8: era era the City of San Francisco. Awesome, Dan Lourie
Speaker 8: ain't putting up with that. S love it.
Speaker 3: Way to go, mister Mayor. You have our full support.
Speaker 3: I'm just curious at what you're laughing at, Katie. What
Speaker 3: what struck you as funny in our conversation. I'm trying
Speaker 3: so hard to put it down, but what time sticks?
Speaker 4: Well, musk.
Speaker 6: Exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm pro stick. I am pro stick when it comes
Speaker 3: to law and order. If you have to, if you
Speaker 3: have it to last resort. He's got some juiced Yeah,
