Speaker 1 (00:39):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Caddy.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Arm Strong and and he Armstrong and I'm studio c say, Senior,
it's a dimly lit room, deepen than the bowels. By
the way, it's Monday, brand New Week. You don't haven't
said this in a long time. New Week, prank fant
(01:11):
with possibilities. This could be the week all your dreams
couldn't come true, you get wrong, moted at work. Yes,
you meet missus Wright or mister Wright at a coffee
shop and everything changes in your life. Also could be
the week that they say, could you meet me in
my office after work real quick, and they march you
out to your car with a cardboard box.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It could be each week also, Well, golly gee, so
I will take it, take their ride, good luck the
right of life.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yes, this is very exciting, and today we are under
the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You're Kansas City chief Sherfdelphie dos a super ball as set.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I get it, I get it. I'm a Chiefs fan
because I was a Chiefs fan back when they suck.
But I was not a Chicago Bulls fan, for instance,
ever in my life, and I hated Michael Jordan and
them winning all the time, freaking hated it. It was miserable.
So I under it was delightful, a delightful year from Chicago,
So I understand how that works. If you're not from there,
the same team winning all the time, you hate it.
(02:15):
And uh And I don't remember a team being as
hated as much as the Chief seemed to be in
a very long time. But there you go, there's your
Super Bowl. I think that's a revealing of the human condition,
isn't it. Jack? Why are they hated? Do they cheat?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Are they foul mouth? There they abhorrent in somebody? No,
it's because they win. It's resentment, it's jealousy.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Is that what it is? Or you just want different teams?
I don't know. Yeah, it gets a little dull. Honestly,
for the rest of the I do not find Patrick
Mahomes dull, but maybe other people do. So we already
have breaking news today Donald trumpt It was released just
a couple hours ago. Donald Trump has reinstated all the
military people that got booted out of the military because
they wouldn't take the vaccination back during could and it's
(02:58):
eighty four hundred people that get to go back in
with their rank and pay and get all the back
pay for the last three years two and a half,
three years that they missed out on. So that is
something and my go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I was just gonna say, I think that's probably gonna
be a considerable bill, and that kind of hurts, but
it is indefensible.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
What was done. Well, there's a fair amount of COVID
news that came out over the weekend. The CIA said
the most likely play, joining the FBI now said the
most likely thing that happened is that the virus leaked
out of the Wan labs. So now the FBI and
the CIA say that that's the most likely thing that happened.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And the Department of Energy, who weighed in of course,
because if you get COVID, you don't have very much
energy or something like that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Even though if you said that out loud on a
public message platform back in the day, you'd have gotten
you know, kicked off or whatever for misinformation. So there's
there's a nice story, and you're.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Killing people by claiming that, they would say, but more significant,
because I'm not gonna let them off the hook. The
new director of the CIA, Ratcliffe, released that information. It
had been developed and decided under Biden, but Biden ordered
them to keep it quiet.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And the bigger COVID story to me, because I had
kids not in school at the time, is the big
report that came out over the weekend that said it
was completely unnecessary and didn't accomplish anything. And we'll get
into that more details that the keeping schools closed for
so long was not saving anybody. It was only making
kids and parents miserable. So there you have it. And
that's why I people like us tend to be small
(04:42):
government people, because governments tend to make horrible mistakes or
do things that are selfish and awful for their own benefit.
That is just the nature of governments, always has been,
always will be.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Imagine the hubris of thinking, your entire worldview being if
we let the people have America observe what's happening around
them and who's getting sick, who's dying. For God's sake,
I mean, people will pay attention. If we let them
do that and decide for themselves, they might not make
decisions we like.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So we will decide in this room what everybody must
do and everybody will do that. That's a better way
to run the society.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I despise those people, so one of the reasons I
can't let this rest.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And won't let it rest. Do you think the Kansas
City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes actually get better calls than
everybody else? Some percentage probably? Yeah. Do you think it's
part of an orchestrated league desire to have the Chiefs
win games?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
No? No, I would tend to doubt it. Ooh, it
would be very difficult to keep quiet, I would think.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So, and it would destroy your gazillion dollar money making
machine overnight. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's that you get an incremental gain by having the
achieves involved. Again, they're unquestionably an incredibly exciting team to watch,
but boy, you risk everything, of course, Jack, my conclusion
is no, there is not a conspiracy, But like the CIA,
my level of.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Certainty is low. Got a lot of that on my
personal text line last night from people who think the
league is rigged the game for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Well, because my attention span has been ruined, like everyone's,
I can't even come close to watching football at the
normal pace anymore, and so between every play, I was
doing news research and going through email and whatever else,
and I became aware on Twitter that there was a
just never ending conversation about how awful and unjust many
(06:50):
of the calls were, including from some fairly heavyweight political commentators.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I mean they were like, play by play, funny, let's
let's start the show officially, could it because it includes
a joke from SNL that's been deemed controversial. Then we
got a question for Michael Angelo, who was out for
a couple of days. There were rumors as to why
Michael was out, so we got to lay that to rest.
We also have to talk about the Trump administration that
(07:16):
is now deported dang near three thousand people. Oh, they
haven't deported me up, but arrested about three thousand people
that they're going to kick out of the country, almost
a thousand yesterday, big day yesterday of undocumented immigrants being arrested.
They said on MSNBC this morning. Never never mind the
fact that that eighty five percent of America agrees that
(07:37):
criminals that here illegally ought to be booted out. They're
still calling these this particular crowd undocumented immigrants and using
their scary voice.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Who are you talking to migrants, isn't it these days?
Mike grants, Yeah, who if they haven't they trying to
imply that they haven't even crossed a border?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Are they're just going from here today? What do you
think your audience is to go with that? But anyway, shrinking,
let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong and he's
Joe Getty on this It is Monday. Hey, now it
is January twenty seventh, year twenty twenty five? Were Armstrong
in getting to we approved of this program?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
All right, then let's begin for the week officially now
according to FCC rules and regulations the new Trump run FCC,
which I'm sure will be enlightened.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Here we go at mark.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
President Trump was sworn back into office on Monday, but
he appeared to not place his hand on the Bible. Well,
he tried to, but the Bible screamed. The Bible Trump
used was the same one Abraham Lincoln used that his inauguration,
And man, I wish those two could talk to each other.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Lincoln could teach.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Trump a lot about the importance of preserving our union,
and Trump could teach Lincoln how to turn your head
at the exact right moment.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Too soon, I laughed, Alla, I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It was fun too soon, dark, ugly taking the assassination lightly.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So it's possible Labor Lincoln could have seen a chart
about immigration over there. Hey, what's that? Everything history would
have been different, Michael Angel, you were out for a
couple of days. Now. Our executive producer Hansen was suggesting
you were getting a change operation. That's not what happened.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
No, I'm getting I'm getting cataracts removed from my eyes.
So I got my right eye done on Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Uh huh. I don't see any bandages or anything. You see.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I'm you know, it's embarrassing, but I'd never realized how
bad my eyesight was, and you look great.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That embarrassing? What are you going to compare it to? Wow?
Wait a minute, I almost missed that. You didn't. You didn't.
You didn't realize as a man of your age, the
rest of us don't have to put our face up
against an iPad to be able to read it.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
No, it's just I can't believe the amount of light
and how bright colors are and what my television looks like.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now, it's just amazing. Wow, this is only one eye. Yeah,
I was gonna because I had a lens replacement surgery
which was just to make my eyes to be able
to see better. It wasn't for cataracts or anything like that.
But yeah, the colors in the brightness is absolutely amazing.
If you have cataracts in an eye or two, you know,
it happens gradually throughout your life so you don't notice it,
(10:08):
and then all of a sudden while it's like somebody
turned the light on in the room.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I thought for a long time, jack you were becoming
a black man.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I had so many transitions. Well that's awesome, Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
In reverse. Any discomfort for you, No.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
No, maybe a little bit of soreness for a day
or two. But they said, because I'm younger, that helps
a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What kind of when does lefty get done?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I'm hoping in a month, okay, because right now I
have one really good eye and then it's my left
eye is cloudy.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So what kind of drugs do you have to take
to undergo this?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
H They just give me something to relax. I didn't
have to sleep through the whole process, but I felt
really good, you know, like they said it would be
like you had a few cocktails and it was good.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, I can see how people get addicted to that.
Xanax man whole cloud nine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Wow'll do it. That's funny because I've never taken I've
taken all kinds of different ones, Valuum, Xanax, did different
things that they give you, and I've never had a
oh this is awesome feeling ever even close to once.
It's that was the way I'm built. So, Michael, look.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Interesting a couple of Yeah, it is interesting. Couple of
junkies compareing notes here.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I wouldn't say I was like high high, but I
was like at peace with the universe.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, yeah, Well, as you know, I enjoy enjoyed drinking
for quite some years and haven't had a drink in
eighteen and a half years now. Any of those kind
of medications, I've never had a feeling that would make
me want to do it again. It's like more unpleasant
than pleasant. And that's just the way your chemistry is.
I guess I don't have any idea nobody has.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
If I were to lay you down on the couch,
I would I would wonder whether you were so concerned
that you'd like it. No, I took them back before
I stopped drinking too, Like when I had my wisdom
teeth out, I had some stuff just like I was
like looking forward to it because people said, oh wow,
can I get some of that?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And I took it. I was like, I don't like this.
I feel kind of So that's why, that's why we've
made no progress in getting drunk drug addicts off the street.
Nobody understands this stuff. Why to affect some people some
ways and some people other ways, and why some people
can quit and some people don't want to quit and
all that sort of stuff, because it's just I don't know,
brain chemistry or something. Well, I'm glad it made you
(12:18):
feel good, Michael. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
One of the quirks so is I can't bend forward.
They tell me you can't bend forward for a week.
I mean I can bend a little bit, but not
like in half.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So if I got to do that, were you planning
to do a lot of bending and had?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
So if I drop on the floor, I have to
get on my knees and pick something up that way.
I can't just bend down and get it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, Jack, you get to the studio like it's the
last second every morning. You don't realize we all do
calisthenics together. Oh, before you get there, toe touches, jumping jacks,
push ups.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's too bad. How does mail bag look? It's very good.
Good starts with the week that's on the way, and
our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
We got We've got some good stuff for you coming up.
The way to mainstream media is handling the immigration stuff
that happened over the weekend, the rounding up, rounding up
(13:07):
they're calling it, which they use as a prejudicial and
people on the right who voted for drump are like, yeah, cool,
round people up, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And it's been delicious, the juxtaposition of the concerned outrage
and the yeah, we love it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So we got some examples of that coming up that
are pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Here's your freedom loving quote of past and along by
justin great quote here from the poet lexicographer Samuel Johnson.
Oh you know I was going to be a lexicographer. Oh,
I'm such a Samuel Johnson fan.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I have a great couple of books, like of his
compiled greatest Stuff, some of the best stuff ever written
by human beings. Just amazing. Hmmm, I'll have to look
into that. Now. He's a bit of a poet, so
this is a little poetic.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
How small of all the human hearts endure that part
which laws or kings can cause or cure?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I'll read it again.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I had to read in a couple of times, how
small of all that human hearts endure that part which
laws or kings can cause or cure? In other words,
of the human experience. Very little of it ought to
be about the government ought to be about free association. Yeah,
you have personal relationships, doing business, relating to your neighbors.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
The government ought to stay the hell out of it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Johnson was right, here's right, Thank you for that. Justin
well done, Mailbang.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
His writing about sloth and drinking and lust and all
the different things so freaking good. Maybe you ought to
mind his own damn business. Huh.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Let's see on the topic of oh Lord, arrests at funerals,
that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Got this note from John.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
On several occasions I sent my guy John as obviously
law first, I sent my guys out to stakeout cemetory
cemeteries where we knew there was a funeral of a
gang member and other members with warrants may show up.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's not unheard of at all. Yeah, I was thinking
about that listening to the news today. Somehow, over the
years we built up this part of it comes from
the whole Dreamers thing and that sort of language. We
built up this idea that illegal immigration is its own
special category in a way that we wouldn't treat the
mafia or gangs you were talking about, or anything else.
(15:30):
Who's concerned about showing up to a funeral to arrest
a mafia member who's a hit man nobody, but an
illegal who's committed crimes in some other country. Oh, well,
they immigrant committed, they might be scared or whatever. Why
when did we get this way? Yeah, yeah, silly.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It just goes to show the power of propaganda and
how people's minds can be swayed. It's ridiculous, especially honestly,
because everybody's in favor of this, everybody but the intelligence
got this from alert listener Mallory, who lives in the
San Jose area.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
We're huge in the hoe.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
One of the councilmen put out this notice to his constituents.
We have gotten solid reports of ice activity in the area.
Please tell your loved ones to be careful and stay
inside if at all possible.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So aiding in a.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Betting criminals council member or tease, that's interesting. I wonder
if that's I mean, because we're specifically talking.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
About known criminals.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Nice job way to aid and to bet the very
people who victimize those you claim to be concerned about.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah. I got more to say about this. We're going
to do a whole segment on it soon.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So yeah, really good argument here having to do with
the fourteenth Amendment birthright citizenship.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
We don't have enough time.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I Anonymous wants to compare and contrast the women appointed
by Trump with the women appointed by Biden.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It is not flattering toward Biden.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
It includes KJP and that Levine trans person.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Not impressed Josh Allen of the bills said to be
crushed after a loss. Poor guy, Feel bad for him. Oh,
we got some good stuff on the way Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Terminating federal diversity programs to deporting immigrants on military aircraft.
President Trump aggressively begins his first week back in office
with a blitz of executive actions.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Thousands of migrants are now stuck in Mexico with no
idea what comes next as the administration halts all applications
for asylum through the CBP one app But the Trump
administration warns this is only the beginning of their border
crackdown and thousands more troops could be flooding in soon.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, that's what people voted for. Is a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, why the scary voice there, Chum, I don't know,
it seems like.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
A positive to me. We got to play that. Martha
raddits again. So with the very very dramatic music, in
her scary sounding voice, she mentions two things people are
in favor of by quite a bit.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Play that again, terminating federal diversity programs to deporting immigrants
on military aircraft. So that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So that's doing away with DEI and getting the illegals out,
two things that are very very popular migrants. Have you
ever noticed when the left perverts language, it gets less
and less descriptive for you know, good reason, pro choice.
What there's no relationship to what we're talking about when
(18:40):
we're talking about abortion policy prints, please, they could be
talking about ducks. So they go on kind of different
geographical locations there in Chicago. Over the weekend in Los
Angeles yesterday. So that that has started, and that's going
to be a big deal, especially in California, where you're
going to get a fair amount of pushback. There were
about pushback in Chicago because a bunch of Chicago officials
(19:04):
had said they were not going to cooperate and they're
not going to let Trump come in and you know,
do things that aren't Chicago values or whatever. This is
Tom Holman explaining why they were in Chicago to start with.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
The Chicago is the Saint Furius city. And you know
there is a when I said target Rich and Barge,
we know a lot of always live here. We know
we don't have access to Cook County Jail and the
biggest jails in the country. And I'll say it again,
if if, if, if you if the politicians, the mayor,
and the government which is simply worked with us and
let us in that jail. The rest of the bad
guy in jail is safer for the officer, is safer
(19:35):
for the amiens, safer for the community. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So uh. They mentioned in the MSNBC report that a
number of the Chicago officials that had talked really tough
last week have backed off some of that talk. The governor,
the mayor and some other people not nearly as confrontational,
so they had to signal to their crowd that we're
going to fight Trump, and then they've kind of backed
(20:00):
off of it. And then Joe Scarborough sensing I think
that probably a lot of his viewers, even on MSNBC,
are like, what's the problem with booting out criminals? Asks
the reporter this question, We'll play some of this. I
thought it was pretty interesting.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
Some Americans listening to what Tom Homan was telling you
would ask themselves, why wouldn't Chicago officials allow law enforcement
officers to go into prisons and get illegal immigrants with
violent criminal records and send them back to their home countries.
Do you have any insight on if that is happening,
(20:39):
why that is happening, what the justification is of Chicago
or Illinois officials.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
It's actually very interesting Joe and Governor J. B. Pritzker yesterday.
We have seen a sort of a little bit of
a change in the rhetoric with some Democratic officials here.
They've backed off some of their tough talk against the
Trump administration, making that exact point that they agree that
immigrants with criminal records.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Should be deported.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
But some of the you know, further left politicians, not
just in this city but others, they say they don't
want to cooperate with ICE at all. Well, with the
question of jail's, Joe, there's a program called the two
to eighty seven g program.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
That is but I thought that was interesting. So you're
more mainstream Democrats backing off. I wonder how much that
had to do with the polling in the New York
Times we talked about last weekend where eighty five percent
of Americans are in favor of booting out illegal criminals
(21:42):
eighty five percent, and the New York Times writing in
the paragraphs it turns out many of Trump's policies are
very popular. So it's this is news to a whole
bunch of people, right, That's funny.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I think it's striking that when Morning Joe asked Gabe
kataz there, what is the reasoning that they give for
not dangerous criminals to be taken out of the jails,
And Gabe was like, well, you know, they're backtrack and
some radical lefties are still in favor of I don't
know that's because there isn't any the reasoning you hear
for not cooperating with ICE is almost always well, we
(22:15):
want our immigrant community to know that they can report
a crime to the police. And you know, an immigrant
woman could be raped and she's afraid to call the
police because she might be deported. That has nothing to
do it's already known criminals, already in the able clutches
of the Justice Department or the authorities. That has nothing
to do with your reasoning. There is no reasoning, and
(22:38):
it's indefensible unless you're a Marxist. It is absolutely indefensible.
And it's so nuts that it has been going on
for years. I mean, it's insane that there were people
who wanted to protect murderers' rapists from being booted out
of this country who shouldn't be here in the first place.
It's it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You can't even wrap your head around how crazy it is.
You're so oh ideological over being a decent human being. God,
you should never be within one hundred miles of any
decision making right. Your head is way too soft, way
too soft.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
There is an absolutely terrific think piece by Martin Gurry
in the Free Press. Maybe we'll touch on it a
little bit later on about all the areas in which,
under the Biden administration, reasonable conversations about reasonable things or
important things we're being silenced, whether it was COVID policy
(23:33):
or Joe Biden is senile, or wait a minute, why
are we protecting criminals in our jails if they're illegal aliens?
And I'm reminded of a meme that's kicking around. Somebody
says who are the good guys and who are the
bad guys? And the answer is the people who are
censoring other people and not letting them express their opinions,
(23:55):
those are the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah. Pretty easy to understand, or should be pretty easy
to understand.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Why was Joe freaking Biden forbidding the CIA from just
releasing that report that said, you know, we's got low confidence,
but some that the COVID's laked out of the Labin woohan?
Why because he's protecting Fauci, who he just pardoned.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Despicable?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh again, silencing people, even silencing the CIA. We left
out Denver, they rounded up fifty members of that horrifying
violent Venezuelan gang that exists in Denver. Remember that we're
going into the apartment complex and this stuff like that.
Fifty of them in part of the nationwide ice arrests
(24:44):
suspected child well known child rapists, suspected ISIS.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Terraces included in them. And they had they are arrested
at a makeshift night club that they had put together
in some abandoned building and went in there and arrested
him and practically everybody in America's in fai.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
So I was just gonna say, I tell you what,
Gabe guitaraz Or, Brandon Johnson, the utterly incompetent Marxist boob
running Chicago into the ground.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Boom, JB.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, tell you what, fellas, ladies, Let's put
every single damn one of these people to a national vote.
I have that much confidence how it'll go, do you.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I didn't mention that they tried to make the turn.
This is media critique on MSNBC Willy Guys saying, many
people are worried about Phase two, though, what is going
to happen next once they're through this phase and they're
starting to arrest migrants who have been here for so
they To me, that was a throwing up the surrender
flag on the first seven hundred thousand people that are
(25:50):
gonna get booted, which are all the known criminals, and
moving on to the you know, just hardworking, decent migrants
who are there blah blah blah. And so they can
argue about that because you got nothing to say about
the criminals.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
That's funny, because that was sacred ground about ten minutes ago.
That was something so abhorrent and nobody could even consider
it about a cup of coffee ago. And now everybody's like, oh,
this is clearly a great idea. Why the hell did
this take so long? Yeah, and it's go get them,
We go get them. I think we're at twenty six
hundred and a week that have been arrested. It's going
to take a long time to get through seven hundred
(26:23):
thousand people. So I don't think we have to worry
about phase two for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, I'm trying to watch my weight and exercise, so
I'm willing to hang in there with the rest of
America and it take as long as it.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Takes, just get it done. I don't know if there
was a more or less to vote on the game
yesterday on how many times the referees sided with the
Kansas City Chiefso I don't actually believe that, but I
don't think price picks has something for that. But you

Ah, yes they did, Yes they did. It was a
sound beating.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I don't like the Chiefs chances frankly really of the
three peat. Well, I'll let the risk of getting sports. See.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
It's two very different teams with very different styles of offense.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Especially, it will be really interesting to see who prevails.
It'd be pretty motivating though, if you need a motivation
after you know, they're playing in their fifth Super Bowl
in six years, which has never happened before. That's just
absolutely amazing. But it'd be pretty motivating to realize if
you win the third one, you can at least make
the argument you're the greatest team of all time. Oh yeah,
(28:26):
oh yeah, sure, So that gets you out of bed
that day if you're kind of feeling like, ah, geez,
another super Bowl. I don't know if I feel like
it today.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, honey, are you gonna play in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Or we could go see my mom? You know, I
should probably go ahead and play. Just see Tea Swizzle
doing her thing that she always does every time there's
a good play by the Chiefs her mouth. She just
can't believe that a team that's going to the Super
Bowl for five fifth time in six years, got another
first down?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh my god, hugs anybody within hugging distance, and it's
just a party.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
You have to hug people after every first down. I mean,
it's just you know, come on, yeah, it's I just
I've got to admit.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I watch myself not to be knee jerk cynical, but
I've got to admit every time they show her, I'm like, oh,
please stop. It's become profoundly annoying to me.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I'm okay with the win. You're getting excited about maybe
the touchdowns, but a first down a catch? Really? I mean,
come on, a good time about her voice?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
A nice punk oh solidly hit punked there jam and
there's Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
She loves.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's wond her boyfriend catches a big pass.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Okay, I don't know, I don't, I don't know. She's
hasn't she seen that like five hundred times at this point, yes, Katie.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Just also if I log onto the internet one more
time and see a roundup of what she was wearing
and how much it costs.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Right, I'm pretty sick. And I guarante that's orchestrated, but
it's working pretty well. Getting the name of all the
this that that's why she's got a billion dollars is
a she She's not letting this opportunity to go to waste. Hater.
Who was that she was hugging? Who was that? Somebody's mom?
Someone will care, Yeah, careful, but the ghost of mother Theresa?
(30:23):
I don't care. I just wondered who that was and
how they might say, you know what, how about how
about a kings X. I'm a hugging till uh till
maybe the fourth quarter. I just I don't know. My
arms are getting tired. I can't keep hugging this much.
Does that couple haven an official name yet? Trailer Swelsea
or anything like that. I don't know. No, I don't know.
I'm tired of them made. Speaking of working out, one
(30:46):
quick thing that's tied to Travis Kelcey that's not really sports.
I read a Wall Street Journal interview with him two
years ago. I guess, and uh, he was with this
guy all day long and they ran around, They went
to some they went to his house, and they went
to a restaurant, they went to a bar and all
this stuff. And Travis Kelsey said it the other night
at the end toward the end of that, I said,
you know, I haven't done enough for my body today.
(31:06):
And they went out and they ran sprints out on
the street. He is like running from stoplight to stop
light and timing himself and they did that. But that
has stuck in my head and I think about that
on a regular basis and has really been helpful to me.
I haven't done enough for my body today. Thinking of
itself every day, you gotta you can't just like, have
you done something for your body today? Have you done
the stretching, the lifting, the whatever it did you do?
(31:27):
And for whatever reason, that's stuck in my head. And
I thought that yesterday after I was watching the game,
I haven't done enough for my body today, and I
went over to the gym.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Wow, that does change a negative. I haven't worked out
to a positive. I'm going to do myself a favor.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Maybe that's why it sticks. It's got a different it's
coming at it from a different angle. But it's been
helpful to me. Katie's got our headlines on the way
stay here. Are there things about RFK Junior? I like absolutely,
But he has also taken some stances over the years.
I can't believe some of you are in favor of.
(32:01):
I mean, he's hardcore late term abortion. He compared farmers,
he said, farmers, the American farmer is worse than isis
at one point, and he's become very very rich running
questionable class action lawsuits against companies that are probably innocent. Yeah, anyway,
we should probably talk about that at some point because
(32:22):
his confirmation hearing is going to be this week. Oh
Hegxeth is a Secretary of Defense. Now, so there you go.
Ah that happened. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Was mildly surprised by that. Jade Vance had to break
the time in case you didn't see that. A lot
to talk about next hour. Can't wait to get to it,
But first let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the
lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Hey, Katie, Hey, thank you guys, NDC News to start.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
White House says Columbia has agreed to Trump's deportation terms
after tariff's standoff.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, that was quite the little back and forth negotiation there.
We're not taking them, hey, huge tariffs, kicking out all
your diplomats. You're not going to do any business with us,
and we'll probably swat you down every chance we get.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
We will gladly take our countrymen. Didn't take long. Now,
are you cool with that? It's being portrayed by some
as just awful the way he's strong arming some of
these countries. They're your scumbags, they're not ours.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
From ABC News, thousands of Palestinians walk and drive into
northern Gaza.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
They've given it a name, the Great Return or the
Walk Home, or it's got a name. Now how it does? Yeah,
the comeback of the year.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
You know, some of Trump's negotiating styles are a little
over the top to me, some of the threats and
the rest of it. I don't mean to dismiss it
one hundred percent, but I don't know. Colombia is he's
a freaking communist, that leader of Columbia. He's really a
rotten human being.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
This one from the New York Times. Stocks sink as
investors worry about China's AI advances.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Oh, I read this whole article. I'm really interested in this.
Apparently some of our best AI people looked at China's
latest AI offering and are like, oh, wow, they're way
farther along than we thought.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, it's not that they're better than us, but they
did amazing things with a lot less expenditure and like
super crazy advanced chips, and so our lead is not
nearly what we thought it was.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
From Business Insider, the calls for a meta boycott don't
seem to be having much of an impact. I'm saying
that all the algorithm activity has remained steady even though
everybody's freaking out about Zuckerberg and Trump.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Okay, so the whole Hey, we're gonna abandon our fact
checking fake ideologues in favor of community nots like Twitter. Well, yeah,
everybody was all aghast. Everybody is an incredibly small number
of people with a crazy outsized voice, and we need
to stop cow telling to them.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
This is a nice story from the New York Post.
Speaker 10 (34:57):
California man proposes to girl on the spot after finding
engagement ring in the rubble of couples home destroyed by
the fire.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Oh that is a good store.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Hall wow now, And she threw ashes in his eyes
and made a run for it.
Speaker 10 (35:13):
Yep, checked him right in the groin. Took off from
the Wall Street Journal. Christopher Walkin has never owned a
cell phone. Eighty one years old. He says, I don't
do technology.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
That's an hell of a headline, brilliant old actor has
never owned a cell phone. I'll be dark eah, I
admire that.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
And finally, from the Babylon Bee, Pete Hegseeth says, all
women in the military are now nurses and have to
wear those hot matching outfits like they.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Did in World War Two. That never having had a
cell phone. I wonder if we all lived our lives
like we lived them pre smartphone for a week, if
we would think, you know, this is pretty nice, or
think all, oh my god, thank god, I'm back to
my smartphone.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I have a feeling we'd have the same feeling we
do after a week's vacation in Maui.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Right man, Am I relaxed? Yeah? I wonder about that.
If you miss an arg get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Caddy.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Arm Strong and and he Armstrong and I'm studio c say, Senior,
it's a dimly lit room, deepen than the bowels. By
the way, it's Monday, brand New Week. You don't haven't
said this in a long time. New Week, prank fant
(01:11):
with possibilities. This could be the week all your dreams
couldn't come true, you get wrong, moted at work. Yes,
you meet missus Wright or mister Wright at a coffee
shop and everything changes in your life. Also could be
the week that they say, could you meet me in
my office after work real quick, and they march you
out to your car with a cardboard box.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It could be each week also, Well, golly gee, so
I will take it, take their ride, good luck the
right of life.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yes, this is very exciting, and today we are under
the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You're Kansas City chief Sherfdelphie dos a super ball as set.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I get it, I get it. I'm a Chiefs fan
because I was a Chiefs fan back when they suck.
But I was not a Chicago Bulls fan, for instance,
ever in my life, and I hated Michael Jordan and
them winning all the time, freaking hated it. It was miserable.
So I under it was delightful, a delightful year from Chicago,
So I understand how that works. If you're not from there,
the same team winning all the time, you hate it.
(02:15):
And uh And I don't remember a team being as
hated as much as the Chief seemed to be in
a very long time. But there you go, there's your
Super Bowl. I think that's a revealing of the human condition,
isn't it. Jack? Why are they hated? Do they cheat?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Are they foul mouth? There they abhorrent in somebody? No,
it's because they win. It's resentment, it's jealousy.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Is that what it is? Or you just want different teams?
I don't know. Yeah, it gets a little dull. Honestly,
for the rest of the I do not find Patrick
Mahomes dull, but maybe other people do. So we already
have breaking news today Donald trumpt It was released just
a couple hours ago. Donald Trump has reinstated all the
military people that got booted out of the military because
they wouldn't take the vaccination back during could and it's
(02:58):
eighty four hundred people that get to go back in
with their rank and pay and get all the back
pay for the last three years two and a half,
three years that they missed out on. So that is
something and my go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I was just gonna say, I think that's probably gonna
be a considerable bill, and that kind of hurts, but
it is indefensible.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
What was done. Well, there's a fair amount of COVID
news that came out over the weekend. The CIA said
the most likely play, joining the FBI now said the
most likely thing that happened is that the virus leaked
out of the Wan labs. So now the FBI and
the CIA say that that's the most likely thing that happened.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And the Department of Energy, who weighed in of course,
because if you get COVID, you don't have very much
energy or something like that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Even though if you said that out loud on a
public message platform back in the day, you'd have gotten
you know, kicked off or whatever for misinformation. So there's
there's a nice story, and you're.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Killing people by claiming that, they would say, but more significant,
because I'm not gonna let them off the hook. The
new director of the CIA, Ratcliffe, released that information. It
had been developed and decided under Biden, but Biden ordered
them to keep it quiet.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And the bigger COVID story to me, because I had
kids not in school at the time, is the big
report that came out over the weekend that said it
was completely unnecessary and didn't accomplish anything. And we'll get
into that more details that the keeping schools closed for
so long was not saving anybody. It was only making
kids and parents miserable. So there you have it. And
that's why I people like us tend to be small
(04:42):
government people, because governments tend to make horrible mistakes or
do things that are selfish and awful for their own benefit.
That is just the nature of governments, always has been,
always will be.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Imagine the hubris of thinking, your entire worldview being if
we let the people have America observe what's happening around
them and who's getting sick, who's dying. For God's sake,
I mean, people will pay attention. If we let them
do that and decide for themselves, they might not make
decisions we like.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So we will decide in this room what everybody must
do and everybody will do that. That's a better way
to run the society.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I despise those people, so one of the reasons I
can't let this rest.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And won't let it rest. Do you think the Kansas
City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes actually get better calls than
everybody else? Some percentage probably? Yeah. Do you think it's
part of an orchestrated league desire to have the Chiefs
win games?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
No? No, I would tend to doubt it. Ooh, it
would be very difficult to keep quiet, I would think.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So, and it would destroy your gazillion dollar money making
machine overnight. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's that you get an incremental gain by having the
achieves involved. Again, they're unquestionably an incredibly exciting team to watch,
but boy, you risk everything, of course, Jack, my conclusion
is no, there is not a conspiracy, But like the CIA,
my level of.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Certainty is low. Got a lot of that on my
personal text line last night from people who think the
league is rigged the game for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Well, because my attention span has been ruined, like everyone's,
I can't even come close to watching football at the
normal pace anymore, and so between every play, I was
doing news research and going through email and whatever else,
and I became aware on Twitter that there was a
just never ending conversation about how awful and unjust many
(06:50):
of the calls were, including from some fairly heavyweight political commentators.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I mean they were like, play by play, funny, let's
let's start the show officially, could it because it includes
a joke from SNL that's been deemed controversial. Then we
got a question for Michael Angelo, who was out for
a couple of days. There were rumors as to why
Michael was out, so we got to lay that to rest.
We also have to talk about the Trump administration that
(07:16):
is now deported dang near three thousand people. Oh, they
haven't deported me up, but arrested about three thousand people
that they're going to kick out of the country, almost
a thousand yesterday, big day yesterday of undocumented immigrants being arrested.
They said on MSNBC this morning. Never never mind the
fact that that eighty five percent of America agrees that
(07:37):
criminals that here illegally ought to be booted out. They're
still calling these this particular crowd undocumented immigrants and using
their scary voice.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Who are you talking to migrants, isn't it these days?
Mike grants, Yeah, who if they haven't they trying to
imply that they haven't even crossed a border?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Are they're just going from here today? What do you
think your audience is to go with that? But anyway, shrinking,
let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong and he's
Joe Getty on this It is Monday. Hey, now it
is January twenty seventh, year twenty twenty five? Were Armstrong
in getting to we approved of this program?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
All right, then let's begin for the week officially now
according to FCC rules and regulations the new Trump run FCC,
which I'm sure will be enlightened.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Here we go at mark.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
President Trump was sworn back into office on Monday, but
he appeared to not place his hand on the Bible. Well,
he tried to, but the Bible screamed. The Bible Trump
used was the same one Abraham Lincoln used that his inauguration,
And man, I wish those two could talk to each other.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Lincoln could teach.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Trump a lot about the importance of preserving our union,
and Trump could teach Lincoln how to turn your head
at the exact right moment.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Too soon, I laughed, Alla, I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It was fun too soon, dark, ugly taking the assassination lightly.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So it's possible Labor Lincoln could have seen a chart
about immigration over there. Hey, what's that? Everything history would
have been different, Michael Angel, you were out for a
couple of days. Now. Our executive producer Hansen was suggesting
you were getting a change operation. That's not what happened.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
No, I'm getting I'm getting cataracts removed from my eyes.
So I got my right eye done on Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Uh huh. I don't see any bandages or anything. You see.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I'm you know, it's embarrassing, but I'd never realized how
bad my eyesight was, and you look great.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That embarrassing? What are you going to compare it to? Wow?
Wait a minute, I almost missed that. You didn't. You didn't.
You didn't realize as a man of your age, the
rest of us don't have to put our face up
against an iPad to be able to read it.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
No, it's just I can't believe the amount of light
and how bright colors are and what my television looks like.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now, it's just amazing. Wow, this is only one eye. Yeah,
I was gonna because I had a lens replacement surgery
which was just to make my eyes to be able
to see better. It wasn't for cataracts or anything like that.
But yeah, the colors in the brightness is absolutely amazing.
If you have cataracts in an eye or two, you know,
it happens gradually throughout your life so you don't notice it,
(10:08):
and then all of a sudden while it's like somebody
turned the light on in the room.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I thought for a long time, jack you were becoming
a black man.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I had so many transitions. Well that's awesome, Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
In reverse. Any discomfort for you, No.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
No, maybe a little bit of soreness for a day
or two. But they said, because I'm younger, that helps
a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What kind of when does lefty get done?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I'm hoping in a month, okay, because right now I
have one really good eye and then it's my left
eye is cloudy.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So what kind of drugs do you have to take
to undergo this?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
H They just give me something to relax. I didn't
have to sleep through the whole process, but I felt
really good, you know, like they said it would be
like you had a few cocktails and it was good.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, I can see how people get addicted to that.
Xanax man whole cloud nine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Wow'll do it. That's funny because I've never taken I've
taken all kinds of different ones, Valuum, Xanax, did different
things that they give you, and I've never had a
oh this is awesome feeling ever even close to once.
It's that was the way I'm built. So, Michael, look.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Interesting a couple of Yeah, it is interesting. Couple of
junkies compareing notes here.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I wouldn't say I was like high high, but I
was like at peace with the universe.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, yeah, Well, as you know, I enjoy enjoyed drinking
for quite some years and haven't had a drink in
eighteen and a half years now. Any of those kind
of medications, I've never had a feeling that would make
me want to do it again. It's like more unpleasant
than pleasant. And that's just the way your chemistry is.
I guess I don't have any idea nobody has.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
If I were to lay you down on the couch,
I would I would wonder whether you were so concerned
that you'd like it. No, I took them back before
I stopped drinking too, Like when I had my wisdom
teeth out, I had some stuff just like I was
like looking forward to it because people said, oh wow,
can I get some of that?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And I took it. I was like, I don't like this.
I feel kind of So that's why, that's why we've
made no progress in getting drunk drug addicts off the street.
Nobody understands this stuff. Why to affect some people some
ways and some people other ways, and why some people
can quit and some people don't want to quit and
all that sort of stuff, because it's just I don't know,
brain chemistry or something. Well, I'm glad it made you
(12:18):
feel good, Michael. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
One of the quirks so is I can't bend forward.
They tell me you can't bend forward for a week.
I mean I can bend a little bit, but not
like in half.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So if I got to do that, were you planning
to do a lot of bending and had?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
So if I drop on the floor, I have to
get on my knees and pick something up that way.
I can't just bend down and get it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, Jack, you get to the studio like it's the
last second every morning. You don't realize we all do
calisthenics together. Oh, before you get there, toe touches, jumping jacks,
push ups.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's too bad. How does mail bag look? It's very good.
Good starts with the week that's on the way, and
our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
We got We've got some good stuff for you coming up.
The way to mainstream media is handling the immigration stuff
that happened over the weekend, the rounding up, rounding up
(13:07):
they're calling it, which they use as a prejudicial and
people on the right who voted for drump are like, yeah, cool,
round people up, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And it's been delicious, the juxtaposition of the concerned outrage
and the yeah, we love it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So we got some examples of that coming up that
are pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Here's your freedom loving quote of past and along by
justin great quote here from the poet lexicographer Samuel Johnson.
Oh you know I was going to be a lexicographer. Oh,
I'm such a Samuel Johnson fan.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I have a great couple of books, like of his
compiled greatest Stuff, some of the best stuff ever written
by human beings. Just amazing. Hmmm, I'll have to look
into that. Now. He's a bit of a poet, so
this is a little poetic.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
How small of all the human hearts endure that part
which laws or kings can cause or cure?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I'll read it again.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I had to read in a couple of times, how
small of all that human hearts endure that part which
laws or kings can cause or cure? In other words,
of the human experience. Very little of it ought to
be about the government ought to be about free association. Yeah,
you have personal relationships, doing business, relating to your neighbors.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
The government ought to stay the hell out of it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Johnson was right, here's right, Thank you for that. Justin
well done, Mailbang.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
His writing about sloth and drinking and lust and all
the different things so freaking good. Maybe you ought to
mind his own damn business. Huh.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Let's see on the topic of oh Lord, arrests at funerals,
that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Got this note from John.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
On several occasions I sent my guy John as obviously
law first, I sent my guys out to stakeout cemetory
cemeteries where we knew there was a funeral of a
gang member and other members with warrants may show up.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's not unheard of at all. Yeah, I was thinking
about that listening to the news today. Somehow, over the
years we built up this part of it comes from
the whole Dreamers thing and that sort of language. We
built up this idea that illegal immigration is its own
special category in a way that we wouldn't treat the
mafia or gangs you were talking about, or anything else.
(15:30):
Who's concerned about showing up to a funeral to arrest
a mafia member who's a hit man nobody, but an
illegal who's committed crimes in some other country. Oh, well,
they immigrant committed, they might be scared or whatever. Why
when did we get this way? Yeah, yeah, silly.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It just goes to show the power of propaganda and
how people's minds can be swayed. It's ridiculous, especially honestly,
because everybody's in favor of this, everybody but the intelligence
got this from alert listener Mallory, who lives in the
San Jose area.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
We're huge in the hoe.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
One of the councilmen put out this notice to his constituents.
We have gotten solid reports of ice activity in the area.
Please tell your loved ones to be careful and stay
inside if at all possible.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So aiding in a.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Betting criminals council member or tease, that's interesting. I wonder
if that's I mean, because we're specifically talking.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
About known criminals.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Nice job way to aid and to bet the very
people who victimize those you claim to be concerned about.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah. I got more to say about this. We're going
to do a whole segment on it soon.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So yeah, really good argument here having to do with
the fourteenth Amendment birthright citizenship.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
We don't have enough time.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I Anonymous wants to compare and contrast the women appointed
by Trump with the women appointed by Biden.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It is not flattering toward Biden.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
It includes KJP and that Levine trans person.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Not impressed Josh Allen of the bills said to be
crushed after a loss. Poor guy, Feel bad for him. Oh,
we got some good stuff on the way Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Terminating federal diversity programs to deporting immigrants on military aircraft.
President Trump aggressively begins his first week back in office
with a blitz of executive actions.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Thousands of migrants are now stuck in Mexico with no
idea what comes next as the administration halts all applications
for asylum through the CBP one app But the Trump
administration warns this is only the beginning of their border
crackdown and thousands more troops could be flooding in soon.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, that's what people voted for. Is a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, why the scary voice there, Chum, I don't know,
it seems like.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
A positive to me. We got to play that. Martha
raddits again. So with the very very dramatic music, in
her scary sounding voice, she mentions two things people are
in favor of by quite a bit.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Play that again, terminating federal diversity programs to deporting immigrants
on military aircraft. So that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So that's doing away with DEI and getting the illegals out,
two things that are very very popular migrants. Have you
ever noticed when the left perverts language, it gets less
and less descriptive for you know, good reason, pro choice.
What there's no relationship to what we're talking about when
(18:40):
we're talking about abortion policy prints, please, they could be
talking about ducks. So they go on kind of different
geographical locations there in Chicago. Over the weekend in Los
Angeles yesterday. So that that has started, and that's going
to be a big deal, especially in California, where you're
going to get a fair amount of pushback. There were
about pushback in Chicago because a bunch of Chicago officials
(19:04):
had said they were not going to cooperate and they're
not going to let Trump come in and you know,
do things that aren't Chicago values or whatever. This is
Tom Holman explaining why they were in Chicago to start with.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
The Chicago is the Saint Furius city. And you know
there is a when I said target Rich and Barge,
we know a lot of always live here. We know
we don't have access to Cook County Jail and the
biggest jails in the country. And I'll say it again,
if if, if, if you if the politicians, the mayor,
and the government which is simply worked with us and
let us in that jail. The rest of the bad
guy in jail is safer for the officer, is safer
(19:35):
for the amiens, safer for the community. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So uh. They mentioned in the MSNBC report that a
number of the Chicago officials that had talked really tough
last week have backed off some of that talk. The governor,
the mayor and some other people not nearly as confrontational,
so they had to signal to their crowd that we're
going to fight Trump, and then they've kind of backed
(20:00):
off of it. And then Joe Scarborough sensing I think
that probably a lot of his viewers, even on MSNBC,
are like, what's the problem with booting out criminals? Asks
the reporter this question, We'll play some of this. I
thought it was pretty interesting.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
Some Americans listening to what Tom Homan was telling you
would ask themselves, why wouldn't Chicago officials allow law enforcement
officers to go into prisons and get illegal immigrants with
violent criminal records and send them back to their home countries.
Do you have any insight on if that is happening,
(20:39):
why that is happening, what the justification is of Chicago
or Illinois officials.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
It's actually very interesting Joe and Governor J. B. Pritzker yesterday.
We have seen a sort of a little bit of
a change in the rhetoric with some Democratic officials here.
They've backed off some of their tough talk against the
Trump administration, making that exact point that they agree that
immigrants with criminal records.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Should be deported.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
But some of the you know, further left politicians, not
just in this city but others, they say they don't
want to cooperate with ICE at all. Well, with the
question of jail's, Joe, there's a program called the two
to eighty seven g program.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
That is but I thought that was interesting. So you're
more mainstream Democrats backing off. I wonder how much that
had to do with the polling in the New York
Times we talked about last weekend where eighty five percent
of Americans are in favor of booting out illegal criminals
(21:42):
eighty five percent, and the New York Times writing in
the paragraphs it turns out many of Trump's policies are
very popular. So it's this is news to a whole
bunch of people, right, That's funny.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I think it's striking that when Morning Joe asked Gabe
kataz there, what is the reasoning that they give for
not dangerous criminals to be taken out of the jails,
And Gabe was like, well, you know, they're backtrack and
some radical lefties are still in favor of I don't
know that's because there isn't any the reasoning you hear
for not cooperating with ICE is almost always well, we
(22:15):
want our immigrant community to know that they can report
a crime to the police. And you know, an immigrant
woman could be raped and she's afraid to call the
police because she might be deported. That has nothing to
do it's already known criminals, already in the able clutches
of the Justice Department or the authorities. That has nothing
to do with your reasoning. There is no reasoning, and
(22:38):
it's indefensible unless you're a Marxist. It is absolutely indefensible.
And it's so nuts that it has been going on
for years. I mean, it's insane that there were people
who wanted to protect murderers' rapists from being booted out
of this country who shouldn't be here in the first place.
It's it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You can't even wrap your head around how crazy it is.
You're so oh ideological over being a decent human being. God,
you should never be within one hundred miles of any
decision making right. Your head is way too soft, way
too soft.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
There is an absolutely terrific think piece by Martin Gurry
in the Free Press. Maybe we'll touch on it a
little bit later on about all the areas in which,
under the Biden administration, reasonable conversations about reasonable things or
important things we're being silenced, whether it was COVID policy
(23:33):
or Joe Biden is senile, or wait a minute, why
are we protecting criminals in our jails if they're illegal aliens?
And I'm reminded of a meme that's kicking around. Somebody
says who are the good guys and who are the
bad guys? And the answer is the people who are
censoring other people and not letting them express their opinions,
(23:55):
those are the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah. Pretty easy to understand, or should be pretty easy
to understand.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Why was Joe freaking Biden forbidding the CIA from just
releasing that report that said, you know, we's got low confidence,
but some that the COVID's laked out of the Labin woohan?
Why because he's protecting Fauci, who he just pardoned.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Despicable?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh again, silencing people, even silencing the CIA. We left
out Denver, they rounded up fifty members of that horrifying
violent Venezuelan gang that exists in Denver. Remember that we're
going into the apartment complex and this stuff like that.
Fifty of them in part of the nationwide ice arrests
(24:44):
suspected child well known child rapists, suspected ISIS.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Terraces included in them. And they had they are arrested
at a makeshift night club that they had put together
in some abandoned building and went in there and arrested
him and practically everybody in America's in fai.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
So I was just gonna say, I tell you what,
Gabe guitaraz Or, Brandon Johnson, the utterly incompetent Marxist boob
running Chicago into the ground.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Boom, JB.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, tell you what, fellas, ladies, Let's put
every single damn one of these people to a national vote.
I have that much confidence how it'll go, do you.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I didn't mention that they tried to make the turn.
This is media critique on MSNBC Willy Guys saying, many
people are worried about Phase two, though, what is going
to happen next once they're through this phase and they're
starting to arrest migrants who have been here for so
they To me, that was a throwing up the surrender
flag on the first seven hundred thousand people that are
(25:50):
gonna get booted, which are all the known criminals, and
moving on to the you know, just hardworking, decent migrants
who are there blah blah blah. And so they can
argue about that because you got nothing to say about
the criminals.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
That's funny, because that was sacred ground about ten minutes ago.
That was something so abhorrent and nobody could even consider
it about a cup of coffee ago. And now everybody's like, oh,
this is clearly a great idea. Why the hell did
this take so long? Yeah, and it's go get them,
We go get them. I think we're at twenty six
hundred and a week that have been arrested. It's going
to take a long time to get through seven hundred
(26:23):
thousand people. So I don't think we have to worry
about phase two for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, I'm trying to watch my weight and exercise, so
I'm willing to hang in there with the rest of
America and it take as long as it.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Takes, just get it done. I don't know if there
was a more or less to vote on the game
yesterday on how many times the referees sided with the
Kansas City Chiefso I don't actually believe that, but I
don't think price picks has something for that. But you
should download the price Picks app certainly before the big
game happens, the last what they call the final game
(26:58):
of the NFL season because you're not allowed to say
the word it's illegal, or any other sport that you're into.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Download price pick app. Oh yeah, it's fun, it's easy.
It's the best way to get in on sports action.

Prize Picks is the best place to get real money
sports action.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Over ten million members. It's easy as can be.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Ah, yes they did, Yes they did. It was a
sound beating.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I don't like the Chiefs chances frankly really of the
three peat. Well, I'll let the risk of getting sports. See.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
It's two very different teams with very different styles of offense.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Especially, it will be really interesting to see who prevails.
It'd be pretty motivating though, if you need a motivation
after you know, they're playing in their fifth Super Bowl
in six years, which has never happened before. That's just
absolutely amazing. But it'd be pretty motivating to realize if
you win the third one, you can at least make
the argument you're the greatest team of all time. Oh yeah,
(28:26):
oh yeah, sure, So that gets you out of bed
that day if you're kind of feeling like, ah, geez,
another super Bowl. I don't know if I feel like
it today.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, honey, are you gonna play in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Or we could go see my mom? You know, I
should probably go ahead and play. Just see Tea Swizzle
doing her thing that she always does every time there's
a good play by the Chiefs her mouth. She just
can't believe that a team that's going to the Super
Bowl for five fifth time in six years, got another
first down?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh my god, hugs anybody within hugging distance, and it's
just a party.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
You have to hug people after every first down. I mean,
it's just you know, come on, yeah, it's I just
I've got to admit.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I watch myself not to be knee jerk cynical, but
I've got to admit every time they show her, I'm like, oh,
please stop. It's become profoundly annoying to me.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I'm okay with the win. You're getting excited about maybe
the touchdowns, but a first down a catch? Really? I mean,
come on, a good time about her voice?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
A nice punk oh solidly hit punked there jam and
there's Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
She loves.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's wond her boyfriend catches a big pass.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Okay, I don't know, I don't, I don't know. She's
hasn't she seen that like five hundred times at this point, yes, Katie.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Just also if I log onto the internet one more
time and see a roundup of what she was wearing
and how much it costs.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Right, I'm pretty sick. And I guarante that's orchestrated, but
it's working pretty well. Getting the name of all the
this that that's why she's got a billion dollars is
a she She's not letting this opportunity to go to waste. Hater.
Who was that she was hugging? Who was that? Somebody's mom?
Someone will care, Yeah, careful, but the ghost of mother Theresa?
(30:23):
I don't care. I just wondered who that was and
how they might say, you know what, how about how
about a kings X. I'm a hugging till uh till
maybe the fourth quarter. I just I don't know. My
arms are getting tired. I can't keep hugging this much.
Does that couple haven an official name yet? Trailer Swelsea
or anything like that. I don't know. No, I don't know.
I'm tired of them made. Speaking of working out, one
(30:46):
quick thing that's tied to Travis Kelcey that's not really sports.
I read a Wall Street Journal interview with him two
years ago. I guess, and uh, he was with this
guy all day long and they ran around, They went
to some they went to his house, and they went
to a restaurant, they went to a bar and all
this stuff. And Travis Kelsey said it the other night
at the end toward the end of that, I said,
you know, I haven't done enough for my body today.
(31:06):
And they went out and they ran sprints out on
the street. He is like running from stoplight to stop
light and timing himself and they did that. But that
has stuck in my head and I think about that
on a regular basis and has really been helpful to me.
I haven't done enough for my body today. Thinking of
itself every day, you gotta you can't just like, have
you done something for your body today? Have you done
the stretching, the lifting, the whatever it did you do?
(31:27):
And for whatever reason, that's stuck in my head. And
I thought that yesterday after I was watching the game,
I haven't done enough for my body today, and I
went over to the gym.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Wow, that does change a negative. I haven't worked out
to a positive. I'm going to do myself a favor.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Maybe that's why it sticks. It's got a different it's
coming at it from a different angle. But it's been
helpful to me. Katie's got our headlines on the way
stay here. Are there things about RFK Junior? I like absolutely,
But he has also taken some stances over the years.
I can't believe some of you are in favor of.
(32:01):
I mean, he's hardcore late term abortion. He compared farmers,
he said, farmers, the American farmer is worse than isis
at one point, and he's become very very rich running
questionable class action lawsuits against companies that are probably innocent. Yeah, anyway,
we should probably talk about that at some point because
(32:22):
his confirmation hearing is going to be this week. Oh
Hegxeth is a Secretary of Defense. Now, so there you go.
Ah that happened. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Was mildly surprised by that. Jade Vance had to break
the time in case you didn't see that. A lot
to talk about next hour. Can't wait to get to it,
But first let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the
lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Hey, Katie, Hey, thank you guys, NDC News to start.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
White House says Columbia has agreed to Trump's deportation terms
after tariff's standoff.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, that was quite the little back and forth negotiation there.
We're not taking them, hey, huge tariffs, kicking out all
your diplomats. You're not going to do any business with us,
and we'll probably swat you down every chance we get.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
We will gladly take our countrymen. Didn't take long. Now,
are you cool with that? It's being portrayed by some
as just awful the way he's strong arming some of
these countries. They're your scumbags, they're not ours.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
From ABC News, thousands of Palestinians walk and drive into
northern Gaza.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
They've given it a name, the Great Return or the
Walk Home, or it's got a name. Now how it does? Yeah,
the comeback of the year.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
You know, some of Trump's negotiating styles are a little
over the top to me, some of the threats and
the rest of it. I don't mean to dismiss it
one hundred percent, but I don't know. Colombia is he's
a freaking communist, that leader of Columbia. He's really a
rotten human being.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
This one from the New York Times. Stocks sink as
investors worry about China's AI advances.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Oh, I read this whole article. I'm really interested in this.
Apparently some of our best AI people looked at China's
latest AI offering and are like, oh, wow, they're way
farther along than we thought.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, it's not that they're better than us, but they
did amazing things with a lot less expenditure and like
super crazy advanced chips, and so our lead is not
nearly what we thought it was.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
From Business Insider, the calls for a meta boycott don't
seem to be having much of an impact. I'm saying
that all the algorithm activity has remained steady even though
everybody's freaking out about Zuckerberg and Trump.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Okay, so the whole Hey, we're gonna abandon our fact
checking fake ideologues in favor of community nots like Twitter. Well, yeah,
everybody was all aghast. Everybody is an incredibly small number
of people with a crazy outsized voice, and we need
to stop cow telling to them.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
This is a nice story from the New York Post.
Speaker 10 (34:57):
California man proposes to girl on the spot after finding
engagement ring in the rubble of couples home destroyed by
the fire.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Oh that is a good store.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Hall wow now, And she threw ashes in his eyes
and made a run for it.
Speaker 10 (35:13):
Yep, checked him right in the groin. Took off from
the Wall Street Journal. Christopher Walkin has never owned a
cell phone. Eighty one years old. He says, I don't
do technology.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
That's an hell of a headline, brilliant old actor has
never owned a cell phone. I'll be dark eah, I
admire that.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
And finally, from the Babylon Bee, Pete Hegseeth says, all
women in the military are now nurses and have to
wear those hot matching outfits like they.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Did in World War Two. That never having had a
cell phone. I wonder if we all lived our lives
like we lived them pre smartphone for a week, if
we would think, you know, this is pretty nice, or
think all, oh my god, thank god, I'm back to
my smartphone.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I have a feeling we'd have the same feeling we
do after a week's vacation in Maui.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Right man, Am I relaxed? Yeah? I wonder about that.
