Speaker 4: No On with the infotainment Transform your life.
Speaker 3: Maybe you'd like to transform your life.
Speaker 4: Maybe you wouldn't transform your life in just seventy days
Speaker 4: with the seventy five Hard, which I guess has been
Speaker 4: around for a couple of years, but I hadn't heard
Speaker 4: about it till now because one of my nieces said
Speaker 4: she's doing the sick medium. She made up her own
Speaker 4: list of how she's going to do it. This is
Speaker 4: the seventy five Hard, A tactical guide to winning the
Speaker 4: war with your something or other. Before I get into
Speaker 4: some of it, what do you know about it, Katie?
Speaker 6: I know it's very difficult and it requires I think
Speaker 6: two workouts a day. You have to do one inside,
Speaker 6: one outside.
Speaker 3: You have to diet here well right right, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you scare.
Speaker 4: You skipped right to the one that makes everybody say, well,
Speaker 4: never mind then, because on the list you go through
Speaker 4: some of them and you think I could do that.
Speaker 4: Drink a gallon of water per day. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 4: sure that's going to do me any good, but whatever.
Speaker 4: Read ten pages of a self improvement book daily. If
Speaker 4: I get to choose the book, I can do that.
Speaker 4: Take a progress picture every day, okay, effortless, come up
Speaker 4: with a diet plan and follow it. Okay, kind of
Speaker 4: trying to do that. Two forty five minute workouts daily,
Speaker 4: one outdoors. Okay, well what else can we do? Because
Speaker 4: that ain't gonna happen. That's why none of these fitness
Speaker 4: resolutions work.
Speaker 3: You take it way too far.
Speaker 4: You're not gonna go to the gym and work out
Speaker 4: for an hour every day. You do it for a
Speaker 4: couple of days and you quit. You got a set,
Speaker 4: modestc two forty five minute workouts, Yeah, I got it,
Speaker 4: even if you've got time.
Speaker 3: Which I don't.
Speaker 4: Did be impossible, No way you're gonna do that consistently,
Speaker 4: and with.
Speaker 6: The diet, there's no cheat meals and no alcohol for
Speaker 6: seventy five days. So forget your month of no alcohol, Joe,
Speaker 6: this is seventy five days.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: One of my good friends has for years and years,
Speaker 5: with almost no exceptions, he has and he's a drinking man.
Speaker 5: He's good at it. We've gone round and round. He
Speaker 5: drinks on New Year's Eve. He does not have another
Speaker 5: drink until Saint Patrick's Day in mid March, virtually every year.
Speaker 5: I admire it. I'm not sure I want to imitate it,
Speaker 5: but I admire it.
Speaker 3: Why does he do it?
Speaker 5: Hey, physical health, emotional health, doesn't want to be dependent
Speaker 5: on alcohol.
Speaker 4: I guess same reason I do it for a little while.
Speaker 4: He just takes it a lot further. He's in good
Speaker 4: shape too, for a guy of his age. And then
Speaker 4: we have another friend, actually a great mutual friend, who
Speaker 4: when confront he's a Southern guy. When confronted with that news,
Speaker 4: he said, I haven't taken that long a break since
Speaker 4: I was eleven.
Speaker 3: It's a different way to approach life.
Speaker 5: But interestingly, in contrast to the hard seventy five in
Speaker 5: the medium sixty and the leisurely thirty.
Speaker 3: We might have.
Speaker 5: Something to talk about My daughter, my beloved twenty five
Speaker 5: year old who just today headed back to law school.
Speaker 5: Is she's using a nudgeword, which I would have mocked
Speaker 5: were my beloved daughter not doing it. And there's a
Speaker 5: piece in the Washington Post and they have a graphic
Speaker 5: that shows people unveiling their nudge word, which includes ease, pivot, wonder, pause,
Speaker 5: and bliss.
Speaker 4: You got to back up a second. Is this a term,
Speaker 4: I know, nudgeword? What is a nudgeword?
Speaker 5: Well, you're about to and I apologize. A nudgeword can
Speaker 5: help you clarify your goals. It can symbolize your values,
Speaker 5: help you set intentions and guide your actions in most,
Speaker 5: if not all, areas of your life. How do you
Speaker 5: want to be or feel? For instance, do you want
Speaker 5: to be more playful? Balanced, or compassionate?
Speaker 3: Playful?
Speaker 4: Yes, I want to be more playful. Who starts a
Speaker 4: new year? You know what I'm going to be in
Speaker 4: twenty five?
Speaker 3: Playful? More playful. You know I would not phrase it
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: I could definitely see somebody, perhaps me, saying, you know,
Speaker 5: I got to stop worrying about crap.
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter. You got to lighten the hell up
Speaker 3: about a lot of stuff. So I get it.
Speaker 5: Interestingly, though, my daughter's word that she keeps trying to
Speaker 5: mind yourself of is sustainable and not like in the
Speaker 5: environmental grita Tunberg bullcrap way. But she's telling herself, Look,
Speaker 5: don't start an exercise plan you.
Speaker 3: Can't possibly sustain. I've always been starting a diet that
Speaker 3: you can't live with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've always been big on that, and I think
Speaker 4: that is a good idea, or you know, any kind
Speaker 4: of regimen, just yeah, start with something you could actually
Speaker 4: do right, right, Start small, see how it goes.
Speaker 5: Increase a little bit. But and look, I've done the
Speaker 5: iron willed weight loss fitness thing a couple of times
Speaker 5: and it's worked.
Speaker 4: But it's not sustainable, right, and it's it's the problem
Speaker 4: with sustainable is it's so slow. You know you're gonna
Speaker 4: lose weight, but it's gonna come off really slow, but
Speaker 4: it'll come off and stay off, and people want or
Speaker 4: at a very lace you'll maintain, Yeah, anymore or you're
Speaker 4: gonna you know, you're you're gonna build muscle and look
Speaker 4: more fit. But it's gonna be real slow, and it's
Speaker 4: gonna take a while, but once you get there, it's
Speaker 4: a it's certainly nice. That's a good one. Pensive will
Speaker 4: be mine. Pensive should try to be overall more pensive
Speaker 4: in the new year.
Speaker 5: I think mine's vengeful. I'm gonna I'm gonna give people
Speaker 5: what they've earned.
Speaker 3: A Vengeful is your nudgeword. People are gonna get what's
Speaker 3: coming to them. Hit June ju Lie.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have not taken vengeance for a couple of weeks,
Speaker 5: and it's gonna be easy to give up. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: remind myself, Hey, this is my nudge work. Find somebody
Speaker 5: who's got it coming.
Speaker 3: Start small.
Speaker 4: Remember that time in high school when you did the
Speaker 4: thing to me, Well, here's here's your right. Maybe it's
Speaker 4: just a store cl clerk who's road and as you
Speaker 4: walk out you hurl a tomato adam. Start small, Start easy, yeah, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 4: sustainably vengeful.
Speaker 5: You want to hear a good one. It's a little
Speaker 5: heavy speaking of a year ending slash beginning rituals. I
Speaker 5: was reading about this dude. He's like an entrepreneur and investor.
Speaker 5: It doesn't really matter who he is, but every year.
Speaker 5: At the end of the year. His birthday happens to
Speaker 5: be December thirtieth, which I think factors in. But he
Speaker 5: does a little vacation over the holidays like many of
Speaker 5: us do. Does does do we do? And he does
Speaker 5: what he calls his pre mortem. He imagines being on
Speaker 5: his deathbed. Wow, yeah, I know, I know this is heavy,
Speaker 5: and he gets into it. He really describes, like, I
Speaker 5: imagine my body old and fragile, my breathing shallow, my
Speaker 5: life energy almost extinguished, and I try to evoke the
Speaker 5: feelings I want to have in that moment, a sense
Speaker 5: of peace, completion, and most importantly self respect. Then I
Speaker 5: asked myself, what am I going to do now to
Speaker 5: ensure that when I reach that ultimate destination, I've done
Speaker 5: what I need to do. I will feel the things
Speaker 5: I want to feel on my deathbed. And then he
Speaker 5: sets goals for the year.
Speaker 4: You know, we have a boss who actually has a
Speaker 4: quote on his wall from of all people, Keith Partridge
Speaker 4: David Cassidy, TV star of the seventies. You don't need
Speaker 4: to know, you don't need to know where you're going,
Speaker 4: you don't need to know who that is. But he
Speaker 4: was as big a star in America as you can
Speaker 4: get for a while. And on his deathbed he said,
Speaker 4: I think it was his last words. So much wasted time,
Speaker 4: and our boss has that on his wall.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He was a resentful, bitter, alcoholic. Yeah, clung to the
Speaker 5: past and so much wasted time.
Speaker 3: That's a good one. I don't, I don't. I don't
Speaker 3: think I have that to worry about it at this point.
Speaker 4: Mast that's this guy's philosophy.
Speaker 3: What would your last words be and what do you
Speaker 3: have to do to make them? Wow? You know what,
Speaker 3: it's been great as he sailed it. That's what I
Speaker 3: want my last words to be. Nailed it.
Speaker 5: He wants a sense of peace, completion and that Look,
Speaker 5: my race is run.
Speaker 3: It was great. Good luck y'all. Or this is stressing
Speaker 3: me out. I know, big task. I know. I'll just
Speaker 3: summon my breath for one last boo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gone take one last bit of vengeance, Michael.
Speaker 3: My last words will be pass me that pizza. Yeah,
Speaker 3: one more, one more more like pizza. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 5: You know, reading a book by a songwriter, doesn't matter who,
Speaker 5: but he's he's big on the you know, try to
Speaker 5: create one new thing a day and how to do it.
Speaker 3: Of course, his job is writing songs, so we write songs.
Speaker 5: But nobody has ever on their deathbed said I wish
Speaker 5: I hadn't written that poem, or I wish I hadn't
Speaker 5: tried to unless it's you know, did something horrific, But
Speaker 5: go ahead and try and fail, don't don't you know
Speaker 5: be next to this entrepreneur guy thinking why didn't I
Speaker 5: at least try?
Speaker 3: So there's my.
Speaker 4: Life affirming death, fearing deathbed positive philosophy for the year.
Speaker 4: You know, the whatever that thing was with having a
Speaker 4: nudge word grateful would be a really good one to
Speaker 4: to try to stay in.
Speaker 5: But of course for everything there must be a backlash.
Speaker 5: And that's the people who somehow are so swept up
Speaker 5: in crazes they've like taken that to an extreme and
Speaker 5: and like refuse to acknowledge things that needed to be
Speaker 5: fixed in their lives. What and so I've been reading lately,
Speaker 5: there's the great the pressure to be grateful has now
Speaker 5: become so shut up but shot up shot trying to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I go into the office every day in my
Speaker 4: list the balls, and I'm it's your work.
Speaker 3: I need a name, be greatful.
Speaker 4: I want the name of where you whoever wrote that
Speaker 4: that you read that, I'm going there today. I'll get
Speaker 4: on a plane. I don't care if the weather's bad.
Speaker 4: Michael drive and I'm gonna choke them and you'll take
Speaker 4: your vengeance.
Speaker 3: It's healthy.
Speaker 4: I'm going to punch that person right in the throat.
Speaker 4: That is the most annoying. That is the single most
Speaker 4: annoying thing I've ever heard, certainly this year. You know
Speaker 4: what people take to the danger of being too grateful.
Speaker 4: I can see the headline the.
Speaker 3: Cit Oh shit, you nail it.
Speaker 5: You nailed it, and Katie I can probably get an
Speaker 5: amen out of you. See what the bitter old man
Speaker 5: doesn't understand.
Speaker 4: Is this stuff is so much more a part of
Speaker 4: young women's worlds, oh yeah, than dudes.
Speaker 5: It's like they tell this anecdote. It's actually pretty funny.
Speaker 5: I don't see if I can find it. Woman's walking
Speaker 5: through the store and they got a display of like
Speaker 5: dish towels, and the dish towels are emblazoned gratitude. And
Speaker 5: this woman's comment is all right, now, even my dish
Speaker 5: towels are badgering me.
Speaker 3: These things become such a craze.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, in ways that you know, I hear stuff
Speaker 4: like that and I think, yeah, whatever that's for you, goodbye,
Speaker 4: I'm busy. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. But
Speaker 4: if you got it on your towels, I don't know.
Speaker 4: For whatever is that's just a little too much for me.
Speaker 2: Armstrong, heyety, the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4: Here's something I realized today, and I think this is
Speaker 4: the first time in twenty fifteen is now ten years ago,
Speaker 4: so probably not in the last nine and a half years.
Speaker 4: The name I heard the most as I went through
Speaker 4: all my different channels on TV and radio was not
Speaker 4: Donald Trump for the first time in nine and a
Speaker 4: half years.
Speaker 3: Wow, the Muskmelon.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk everywhere, no matter what you flip to Elon
Speaker 4: Musky line Musky line Musk, the way it was, it's
Speaker 4: always been Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Speaker 3: Right now, that's part of the whole Trump thing. So
Speaker 3: it's Trump adjacent.
Speaker 5: But it's interesting, So does Trump get like thirty percent
Speaker 5: at it for each mention of Elon Musk, Because you know,
Speaker 5: it's like a pyramid scheme.
Speaker 4: He recruited Elon's exactly share of his mentions. And by
Speaker 4: the way, I'm sorry if you have more on that go.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say that I really really wanted to
Speaker 4: get to our honorary honorary general general manager, which was
Speaker 4: dudes playing women's sports. Fellas, you had a good run.
Speaker 4: You whooped up on those girls. You showed them men
Speaker 4: are better at everything, including being female athletes.
Speaker 3: You won all those medals.
Speaker 4: You stood on the grand stand with your attempt at
Speaker 4: makeup and your manly physique and jaw and the rest
Speaker 4: of it and really showed those stupid girls. But I'm
Speaker 4: afraid all good things must come to an end. It's
Speaker 4: fun while lest it wasn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, next prisons, you know fifteen percent of female inmates
Speaker 5: or dudes.
Speaker 3: No it is not. Yes, it can't be that.
Speaker 4: Yes, all the blue stints where all you have to
Speaker 4: do is self identify just because it comes time to
Speaker 4: go into prison. You're a bad, bad dude like corn
Speaker 4: Pop and you have to go to prison, and you think,
Speaker 4: you know, I'd rather be in a chick prison than
Speaker 4: a dude prison. I mean, there ain't no girls. I've
Speaker 4: seen those prison movies. This ain't gonna be fun. Think
Speaker 4: I'll go on the prison where the girls are.
Speaker 5: You're much less likely to get your arse kicked or
Speaker 5: get shived or you know, have to get into some
Speaker 5: brutal gang to protect yourself.
Speaker 4: Sexual opportunities are a little better also as well. I
Speaker 4: was getting there. I was getting there, Valentino or what's
Speaker 4: what was the old lover? Uh?
Speaker 3: What was the the old.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, stupid old reference. But anyway, Yeah, I
Speaker 4: was gonna get to the level. First.
Speaker 3: I want to make sure my ass doesn't get kicked.
Speaker 3: If you don't mind. Fifteen percent, that's crazy, Casanova, that's
Speaker 3: what I was looking for. Fifteen percent. I'll have to
Speaker 3: do about a bad dude.
Speaker 4: Those statistics. The Free Press was writing about that. Wow,
Speaker 4: that is something. Wow, it's insanity and the well because
Speaker 4: they've been convinced that to he woke is to be
Speaker 4: a good person, and they really want to be a
Speaker 4: good person. They really really want to be a good person,
Speaker 4: an independent thinker who asserts herself when she sees something wrong.
Speaker 3: Not so much.
Speaker 5: I want to be accepted. I want to be told
Speaker 5: I'm a good person. That's a huge percentage of population
Speaker 5: are desperate for that.
Speaker 4: So I'm not paying close attention to the whole elon
Speaker 4: Musk thing. But the way it's portrayed by the left.
Speaker 4: Tell me if I'm right or wrong. If I'm I
Speaker 4: could be wrong. If I'm wrong, that's fine. But this
Speaker 4: whole unelected bureaucrat attempting to the word they used in
Speaker 4: MSNBC yesterday, got the federal government, which is a word
Speaker 4: I love. I mean you you were using it like
Speaker 4: prejudicially to scare people. I think gut away what PCT?
Speaker 4: What a great word? Kenny, Kenny a complicate? Where do
Speaker 4: I sign up for him? Gutting the federal government? That
Speaker 4: sounds awesome. Wait a minute, honey, I need to turn
Speaker 4: this up and listen. That sounds metastic. But nobody elected him.
Speaker 4: He's been given these kingly powers to do whatever he wants. Now,
Speaker 4: Am I right or wrong about this? He's not signing
Speaker 4: any pieces of paper that can get rid of agencies
Speaker 4: or employees. He's recommending them to Trump's executive branch, and
Speaker 4: they're signing the pieces of paper.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, exactly. He is making recommendations to his boss.
Speaker 5: He is an advisor, so this is just a presidential advisor.
Speaker 4: This fits in with my This is the first time
Speaker 4: I've heard somebody's name more than Trump in nine and
Speaker 4: a half years hearing Elon's name all the time. So
Speaker 4: they must the left must feel like as a political win,
Speaker 4: making Elon Musk a bad guy is better than making
Speaker 4: Trump the bad guy, because Trump's the guy who wants
Speaker 4: this done, is ordering it, and is the then signing
Speaker 4: off on the recommendations.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, Trump just.
Speaker 4: Got elected and not only whooped tiny in the Swing States,
Speaker 4: won the electoral college handily, but won the popular vote,
Speaker 4: which really shocked Democrats. And they've been howling that he's
Speaker 4: the Antichrist and is going to come eat your infant
Speaker 4: since twenty fifteen or twenty fourteen. And so perhaps the.
Speaker 5: Smartest horses over there on the left side of the
Speaker 5: island following me are saying, look, let's go after Elon.
Speaker 5: Maybe we can get people's attention because he's rich and evil,
Speaker 5: and they like the superhero movies where there's a rich,
Speaker 5: evil super villain. Maybe we can stir people up with
Speaker 5: that they're desperate for a message.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder how well it's working. Maybe it's working.
Speaker 4: I don't know what most people think about Elon.
Speaker 2: I know what I think Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty,
Speaker 2: the Armstrong and Getty Show, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3: There you lifts off these streets.
Speaker 7: DHS Secretary Christy Nome on the ground in New York
Speaker 7: City leading this early morning ice rate across the Big Apple,
Speaker 7: looking to remove violent criminals are not supposed to be
Speaker 7: in this country in the first place. Noam says she
Speaker 7: asked President Trump for this job.
Speaker 1: I said, I would like to be the Secretary of
Speaker 1: Homeland Securities, sir, because it's your number one priority.
Speaker 5: Alexis ms Adams McAdams of Fox News there with Christy Homes.
Speaker 5: One thing that really gratified me about that story yesterday
Speaker 5: was I was delighted to hear Christin Homes say we're
Speaker 5: getting these dirt bags off the streets, and there was,
Speaker 5: at least in the media. I took in none of
Speaker 5: the utterly automatic In the past few years, the.
Speaker 4: Administration is trying to characterize all immigrants as dirt bags.
Speaker 3: They're on the back foot. I think, how would you
Speaker 3: not be? I think it is sunk in.
Speaker 4: Finally, eighty five percent of Americans want criminal illegals booted
Speaker 4: out of the country. That's not a controversial issue. That's
Speaker 4: a one sided issue. As you're practically ever going to
Speaker 4: get in the United States.
Speaker 5: One thing that Jake Tappers and the David Muhrs of
Speaker 5: the world are trying to gather their courage and take
Speaker 5: deep breaths to do soon is make a big deal
Speaker 5: over Okay, when you're rounding up a Venezuelan gang member
Speaker 5: rapist and his brother who's also an illegal is there.
Speaker 5: The brother gets snatched up too and is probably going
Speaker 5: to get deported, and they will try very hard to
Speaker 5: build the narrative that they're casting too wide a ned
Speaker 5: they're bringing innocent people in blah blah blah. Again, this
Speaker 5: is squarely I think in the middle of the field
Speaker 5: that we're discussing last couple of days, which is y'all
Speaker 5: created a ginormous mess.
Speaker 3: We're kicking up a little dust.
Speaker 5: When we clean it up, quit yelling that we're the
Speaker 5: bad guys because we're kicking up dust.
Speaker 3: All right, We're way past that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know we're going to get into some of
Speaker 4: this sort of stuff. But I was looking at the
Speaker 4: New York Post story of New York City minority communities
Speaker 4: cheer ice raids. They're actually cheer on the street as
Speaker 4: they rounded up violent criminal migrants. Some of these who
Speaker 4: had been tormenting these people as obvious criminals in these neighborhoods,
Speaker 4: and they're happy to see ice cream. And these are
Speaker 4: black people and brown people are like, yeah, come in,
Speaker 4: get these scumbags out of here. As you're just hearing
Speaker 4: the dirt bags. And this morning I was watching Fox
Speaker 4: and they had the big giant military transport planes. They're
Speaker 4: really giant ones like my brother and so many of
Speaker 4: you have ridden on, you know, headed to South Arabia
Speaker 4: or whatever, filling them full of illegal criminals and sending
Speaker 4: them back to wherever the hell they came from. You
Speaker 4: talk about a win, a political win. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: what a video. Before we go on, just a quick point.
Speaker 5: The response to those immigrants cheering the roundup of these
Speaker 5: predator scumbags, the response by the people who've been in
Speaker 5: charge of America for like the last four years would
Speaker 5: have been a lave internalized white supremacy, and we would
Speaker 5: have been supposed to have taken that seriously, a bunch
Speaker 5: of lunatics. The fact that they ever had the upper
Speaker 5: hand is hurtful to me, but.
Speaker 4: It's frightening to say, yeah, yeah, it is, to see
Speaker 4: how far off track you can get sometimes, but the
Speaker 4: up Trump has solved Germany's immigration problems or damn near Seriously,
Speaker 4: it's crazy, stay tuned for that. But in terms of
Speaker 4: a political win, the videos of loading up illegals on
Speaker 4: giant planes and flying the back and then how about
Speaker 4: the whole if you followed this over the weekend when
Speaker 4: the president of Columbia said you can't send them here,
Speaker 4: and then Trump had to threaten them with the tariffs
Speaker 4: and a bunch of different stuff, and then the Columbian person.
Speaker 4: How about countries that say, no, don't send them here.
Speaker 4: They're bad people, we don't want them. When does that
Speaker 4: ever happen for a country refuses to take back their
Speaker 4: own citizens.
Speaker 5: Well, and speaking of narratives that should have been slapped
Speaker 5: out of the public conversation as quickly as possible, the
Speaker 5: idea that Trump is wrong about them being criminals and
Speaker 5: gang members, how dare he disparage.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 5: So you go to Venezuela, you go to Columbia, you
Speaker 5: go to mex even in a lot of cases, and
Speaker 5: say hey, these are your nationals. You need to take
Speaker 5: them back, and they're like, whoa, no, no, these are
Speaker 5: dangerous scumbags.
Speaker 3: We don't want them. You got to keep them.
Speaker 4: Okay, a little more from Alexis McAdams speaking of the
Speaker 4: sort of folks we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Forty one, please, Michael.
Speaker 7: This was a multi agency effort that ended in several arrests,
Speaker 7: including this Venezuelan illegal migrant whose sources day is part
Speaker 7: of the South American gang trende Aragua taken in. I'm kidnapping,
Speaker 7: assault and burglary charges. DHS says Anderson Zembrono Pacheco was
Speaker 7: hiding out in the Bronx and had a warrant out
Speaker 7: for his arrest in connection to this takeover at an
Speaker 7: apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 4: Violent violent, horrible guy that the government knew exactly what
Speaker 4: sort of violent, horrible guy he was, and they weren't
Speaker 4: going to boot him out because of the weird crazy
Speaker 4: fanciful were a sanctuary city, sanctuary state and nonsense. You're
Speaker 4: going to put your own citizens at risk in their
Speaker 4: own neighborhoods for your strange ideology.
Speaker 3: That makes no sense, right right.
Speaker 5: I'm sorely tempted to replay the opening clip with Brandon
Speaker 5: Johnson and Chicago.
Speaker 3: Why don't you explain what it.
Speaker 4: Is before we hear it, so people understand because it's
Speaker 4: a good one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's explained in context. I think Johnson, as
Speaker 5: a far lefty, has been proudly decrying any immigration raids
Speaker 5: and saying that America is a sanctuary city and the
Speaker 5: ICE was just in Chicago and rounded up some truly
Speaker 5: dangerous scumbags. And this is a reporter asking him, asking
Speaker 5: him about it.
Speaker 8: Tom Holman showed up in Chicago and within twenty four
Speaker 8: hours found a convicted sex offender who has been living
Speaker 8: in our city since two thousand and nine, flouting the
Speaker 8: sex offender registry. If he can do this, why can't you.
Speaker 3: That is their job.
Speaker 9: Our jobs not to chasm response, to make sure that
Speaker 9: individuals who are undocumented, who have been charged with convicted
Speaker 9: of a crime. It is the federal government's responsibility to
Speaker 9: do their pardoner pold the law.
Speaker 4: The people of Chicago, California, Los Angeles, all kinds of
Speaker 4: different places should be so outraged at their leadership that
Speaker 4: they're forced from office over this sanctuary nonsense. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 4: it is nonsense. It's outrageous, it's dangerous, it's perverse. Speaking
Speaker 4: of which, and the theme being all of those arguments
Speaker 4: that were thrown at us for years, when we you
Speaker 4: folks like us, just said, look, I don't care how
Speaker 4: many brown people are here or whatever the hell. We
Speaker 4: have laws, we need to enforce the laws, or what
Speaker 4: we have is lawlessness. We don't want lawlessness. Now you're
Speaker 4: a racist. You just don't like brown people. Here's William
Speaker 4: Lauginess reporting from Mexico. How they feel about all the
Speaker 4: elie leagals in Mexico.
Speaker 6: Fifty Michael, It's a huge problem in our neighborhood. The noise,
Speaker 6: the contamination, the garbage, the violence.
Speaker 10: Longtime Mexico City resident Hugo Sanchez, whose child has a
Speaker 10: heart condition, is fed up with illegal immigrants in Mexico.
Speaker 10: He's worried the government resources will be diverted to deal
Speaker 10: with migrants, the fake they defecate and urinate in public,
Speaker 10: says neighbor and retiree Letitia Melendez, who hope President Trump
Speaker 10: will help Mexico close its southern border.
Speaker 4: He may have some influence with our government, so together
Speaker 4: they can solve the problem. I think you're wrong about this.
Speaker 4: I think natural born US citizens defecate in public at
Speaker 4: a higher rate than illegals according to a Harvard study
Speaker 4: in the case of drug abuse, but one more all
Speaker 4: when they use the E word. In clip fifty one, Michael,
Speaker 4: it's the eye word. Cover your ears if you're sensitive
Speaker 4: a key stick.
Speaker 10: Francisco Rosas lives near a migrant camp housing mostly Cubans, Haitians,
Speaker 10: and Venezuelans. He calls the migrant influx an invasion and
Speaker 10: worries about the drug and alcohol abuse.
Speaker 3: He sees, we.
Speaker 4: Don't know these people where they come from, if they
Speaker 4: have a criminal record.
Speaker 3: Most are unemployed because they don't do anything. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: The racism, The racism. He use the I word invasion.
Speaker 5: Oh my god. Well, we've been right along. You've been
Speaker 5: right all along. It's got to be at least somewhat comforting.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm not feeling that much comfort I am. I'm
Speaker 4: feeling fear that we got so off track. I can't
Speaker 4: believe that we that It disturbs me how easily a
Speaker 4: minority opinion can win if they're highly motivated.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna describe it as a small but
Speaker 5: aggressive minority who are willing to to use strong moral
Speaker 5: arguments and ruin lives, making the claim that anybody who
Speaker 5: opposes them is an awful human being, and how effective
Speaker 5: they were in spite of the complete illogic of their
Speaker 5: point of view. It is disturbing, especially in a country
Speaker 5: like this that at least, you know, ostensibly has the
Speaker 5: free exchange of ideas and free speech. I want to
Speaker 5: talk more about that down the road, but the idea
Speaker 5: that a group of extremist crack pots have successfully, for instance,
Speaker 5: gotten you can choose to be a man or a
Speaker 5: woman into our nation's elementary schools is horrifying.
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's pretty crazy, but I don't know.
Speaker 4: If it's crazier then no, No, we're not going to
Speaker 4: turn over a rapist to ice because we're so up
Speaker 4: with illegal immigration or something.
Speaker 3: I don't even understand your philosophy.
Speaker 5: Well right, if you try to spell it out in
Speaker 5: simple declarative sentences, you just you can't in a way
Speaker 5: that makes any sense.
Speaker 3: But it was the winning.
Speaker 4: Theory among the people that matter for quite a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the argument that well, are immigrant communities, they
Speaker 5: need to know they can trust the police, et cetera,
Speaker 5: et cetera. There is some truth to that, and I
Speaker 5: get that, But when you see the rubber meet the road,
Speaker 5: and the folks in those communities so glad. The predators
Speaker 5: and the rapists and the murderers that allegedly they were
Speaker 5: afraid to report when they see them remove, they're so joyful.
Speaker 5: I mean, that tells you the lie. But always remember this,
Speaker 5: these that small vicious minority that is trying to silence
Speaker 5: you or tell you white people shouldn't talk, or that
Speaker 5: you're a bigoter transphobe. If you don't want the gendervating
Speaker 5: maness tauught in schools, how they will ruin you. Always
Speaker 5: remember this and this, quoting James Lindsay, Marxists just lie.
Speaker 5: They lie so overtly and blamely that people begin to
Speaker 5: question their own perceptions. It works because no one expects
Speaker 5: another person to lie so overtly. They use words and
Speaker 5: arguments as weapons. They're not trying to reach some sort
Speaker 5: of meeting of the minds.
Speaker 4: They want you to back up, shut up, and let
Speaker 4: them take over whatever. Oh I need to explain how
Speaker 4: Trump has solved Germany's immigration situation.
Speaker 3: Maybe after the commercials. This is all very good.
Speaker 4: It's kind of a harshen my mellow though on this.
Speaker 4: The Chinese New year to begin the Year of the Snake,
Speaker 4: which I'm very excited about because I am a snake.
Speaker 4: When I sit down at a Chinese restaurant and look
Speaker 4: over the little chart where it tells you what you
Speaker 4: are based on your birth year, I am a snake,
Speaker 4: so it's my year.
Speaker 3: Michael's always saying that about you. So yeah, Happy Chinese
Speaker 3: New Year, the Year of the Snake.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have American tradition, Jack, the snake is seen
Speaker 4: to be what likewise and smart, I don't know, slithery
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 3: It's a middle aged is this superstition.
Speaker 4: I'll probably door dash Pan Express for the kids tonight
Speaker 4: in honor of the Chinese New Years.
Speaker 3: That's the proper way to celebrate it is. That's Pan
Speaker 3: Express Chinese culture.
Speaker 4: Uh maybe I will just use my iPhone made in
Speaker 4: China or some cheap plastic Chinese crap also made in China.
Speaker 3: Also to honor the Year of the Snake. Maybe raise
Speaker 3: a glass.
Speaker 5: With all sorts of people who've been put out of
Speaker 5: work by our importation of cheap Chinese crap.
Speaker 3: Hey no, Jack.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show, The arm
Speaker 2: Strong and Getdy.
Speaker 4: Show, apparently didn't talk until students screaming in the background.
Speaker 3: We were scanning stop the bus. We were just like
Speaker 3: getting mad over the little stuff.
Speaker 4: He was getting mad over little stuff. That's the kids
Speaker 4: in a nine to one one call? Who nine one one?
Speaker 4: Did one of the kids called nine one one as
Speaker 4: a school bus seventy two year old bus driver arrested
Speaker 4: for driving drunk with the kids in the bus.
Speaker 5: That's yes, they called nine one one because the drunk
Speaker 5: ass bus driver wouldn't stop at any of the stops.
Speaker 4: That's a pretty old bus driver to start with. And
Speaker 4: you're getting up there, I mean twenty seventy two year
Speaker 4: olds and can drive fine, but they getting pretty up
Speaker 4: there in terms of reaction time and all that sort
Speaker 4: of stuff. Uh, and drunk, and so you wouldn't stop
Speaker 4: at the stops. He had to be really drunk, ragging
Speaker 4: it to kids and the rest of it, and just yeah,
Speaker 4: he wasn't just I'm gonna have a quick one because
Speaker 4: I can't handle the nan and the kids today.
Speaker 3: He was hammered.
Speaker 4: Yeah, reminds me of when I ride the school bus
Speaker 4: every single day for uh, like my entire school career
Speaker 4: both ways.
Speaker 3: And we had a Gladys of telling.
Speaker 4: The story from the way back in the cars. The
Speaker 4: harps out, thank you, Gladys. Gladys went to school in
Speaker 4: a horse drawn carriage, just like my dad. Uh. One
Speaker 4: time we had a school bus driver, like for one
Speaker 4: day maybe, and he was like Otto from the Simpsons.
Speaker 4: I'm atto and I love But there was this one
Speaker 4: like dip in a road and he would hit it
Speaker 4: really fashioned. We'd all sit in the back of the
Speaker 4: it's coming up and we'd all move to the back
Speaker 4: seat carson seatbelts, and he sat in the back and
Speaker 4: he'd hit it and we'd all fly like three feet
Speaker 4: in the air. Wow. We thought it was hilarious. But
Speaker 4: he was only bus driver for a couple of days.
Speaker 4: I think I wonder if he was drunk, he might
Speaker 4: have been well.
Speaker 5: And that speaks to a certain attitude about life, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: Doing that that is.
Speaker 5: You know, might not square with being the classic school
Speaker 5: bus driver.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Man, the school bus was so like Lord of the
Speaker 4: Flies though. And I don't actually know if I think
Speaker 4: that is better for me or it's I don't know,
Speaker 4: but it was definitely Lord of the Flies. I mean,
Speaker 4: you had to you had to learn to navigate lots
Speaker 4: of different situations. It could be scary and uh and
Speaker 4: very intimidating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, toward the back of the house, and nobody cared.
Speaker 3: That's just the way it was.
Speaker 4: Christopher Hitchins in his memoir he was talking about how
Speaker 4: there was so much bullying and beatings from the teachers
Speaker 4: and everything like that when he went to private school
Speaker 4: as a kid in England and its sexual assault, sexual assault,
Speaker 4: and in his book he says he thinks that society
Speaker 4: was better when they had some of that. He hated
Speaker 4: it at the time. I don't know that I'm willing
Speaker 4: to go there, but I can kind of see the point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 5: Grim assessment and a difficult conversation to have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty darmned interesting. Actually, the latest.
Speaker 5: Internet trend, Jack, because everything's got to be an Internet trend,
Speaker 5: is shockingly being responsible. They're calling it no by twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five, in which e y or be you y,
Speaker 5: be you hy Okay. That's good, good clarification. Those are homonyms.
Speaker 5: As we say in the HOMINYM business business. The trend
Speaker 5: is to reduce spending and payoff debt amid rising inflation
Speaker 5: and economic uncertainty. Individuals are cutting back on none essential purchases,
Speaker 5: focusing on using up existing products and implementing strategies like
Speaker 5: Project PAN to minimize spending.
Speaker 3: I don't know about this trend.
Speaker 4: Can I just whistle the national anthem with a mouthful
Speaker 4: of eggs or something?
Speaker 3: Does it have to be?
Speaker 5: This one's not nearly as much fun as that, Jack so,
Speaker 5: And of course it's hot on Instagram and TikTok as.
Speaker 5: Everything is people displaying instead of what they've bought. Now
Speaker 5: great it is they're displaying how they're buying nothing. The
Speaker 5: no buy twenty twenty five trend encourages people to purchase
Speaker 5: as little new stuff as possible.
Speaker 3: I would love this if I thought it could catch on.
Speaker 4: It just it runs counter to you know, human nature
Speaker 4: of you know, pleasure. But it'd be awesome if, for
Speaker 4: whatever reason, people decide no stuff is a bad Buying
Speaker 4: stuff is a bad idea. Planning ahead is is the
Speaker 4: best way to get pleasure. That'd be great if that happen.
Speaker 4: I just don't know if I believe it.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think it's more specific that And I
Speaker 5: found myself wondering whether this is another example of how
Speaker 5: the breezes have definitely changed in America because a lot
Speaker 5: of it when again in the specific examples, is this
Speaker 5: Gal Rachel, part time nurse, stay at home mom. She
Speaker 5: came across these no buy videos and she wanted to
Speaker 5: pay off her family's ten thousand dollars credit card debt,
Speaker 5: and she and her husband wanted to stop living paycheck
Speaker 5: to paycheck. So she's cutting out hair treatments, manicures, and
Speaker 5: unnecessary purchases like new water bottles.
Speaker 3: It's been very empowering to live within our means.
Speaker 5: They paid down their debt and are living like financially
Speaker 5: responsible human beings.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all those things you just mentioned you probably shouldn't
Speaker 4: be buying if you're got a ten thousand dollars credit
Speaker 4: card bill. Absolutely. So again, it's kind of goofy and
Speaker 4: JIV that it's a TikTok trend like everything. But if
Speaker 4: the trend is people living within their means, reducing their
Speaker 4: debt and getting rid of luxuries they can't afford, I'm
Speaker 4: not going to condemn it. How about the trend of
Speaker 4: how long can you hold your hand over a candle?
Speaker 4: I think that'll probably get were owling. You remember owling
Speaker 4: that was really armstrong and Getty
