Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
President Trump wants the water end, and he wants all
those hostages released, including those six Americans now Nanna who
still weighing the possibility of another round of fighting in
Gaza as Hermas shows, they are still in control of
the streets there and that will be a point of
contention with the President. The two leaders also expect you
to discuss Iran and a potential normalization deal between Israel
(00:45):
and Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Man was Lindsey Graham, a Senator from South Carolina. I
declare hawkish on Iran yesterday and talking about how now
is the time for Israel to take out Iran's nuclear facilities,
and yes we would help them, so we'll see. I
don't know if that's a plan or not. If I
had to bet money, I would guess that it probably is.
Ram as it started a war.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
By lunchtime, he's sad.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The rest of the day, he's or manger Jack Neocon.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Number of things to go through the Secretary of State
Marco Rubio announced that Panama won't renew their Belt and
Road agreement with China, making it the first Latin American
nation to leave that initiative and get on the side
of the United States. That's not a minor deal. Start
to turn that around.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Also, and I must repeat for the empty time, as
this was given to me by somebody who's fluident in
Mandarin said it's mistranslated. It's one belt, one road.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's good stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Also, Marco Rubio's office announcing on Trump's greenland ambitions. This
is not a joke. This is not about acquiring land
for the purpose of acquiring land. This is international interest.
So he's one hundred percent serious about the whole trying
to figure out a way to have greenland there.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You know, the The Wall Street Journal had a great
you know how modern paper websites. They have some articles that, like,
you read and then there's an illustration and as you scroll,
the illustration changes and there's a caption and stuff like that.
It's kind of cool, interactive multimedia whatever. And they had
a really good piece about the Arctic and the ice
(02:18):
how it's shrinking, and the roots and the military bases
and the trade routes and what China's doing up there,
and what Russia's doing up there.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But the one thing, because.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You never look at the globe from that angle, really
is you realize, you know, famously, Russia and Alaska, which
is ours, are fifty seven miles apart, and the Arctic Circle.
You've got like Norway right across the North Pole from Russia,
and there's the US and there's Canada. I mean, we're
(02:46):
all like neighbors at the top of the world. And
so controlling those roots is going to be enormous for
commerce and military effectiveness. And on the other side of
that coint if anybody decides to be a dick about it,
they can really disrupt pure commerce and or military preparedness.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Well, especially in a couple of years when it's like
seventy five degrees up there and you know, everybody's vacation
in there and living there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Now, I got a vacation booked up there right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Some of the big news of the day the tariffs
who are supposed to start tomorrow on you got ten
percent on China and I think it's twenty five percent
on Canada and Mexico. Well, but Mexican one is being delayed.
The President came around and agreed to something. Critics are
saying she was going to do it anyway, but whatever.
She's sent in ten thousand troops to the border and
(03:31):
so the Mexican tariffs will be delayed. And then this
headline that just came out this morning, Infantry, marines and
other US troops have begun arriving at the US Naval
base in git Mo, Cuba, and was expected to be
an operation to house migrants, it says here in the
Washington Post. And so the Trump administration sends them to
(03:52):
their home countries. They're illegal immigrants and their criminal in
addition to be illegal criminal illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He's to be house green and the term migrants until
next month, when we're gonna call them honeybear angels.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So that's an exciting story. And I don't know how
long this will keep up.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
But Trump's approval rating right now is forty six percent.
At this time first term, he was at thirty six percent.
He's a full ten points higher that he was at
this point in his first term. That's something a non
political story I'm kind of interested in. They think they
found a new van go did you see this was
(04:30):
one of these stories that happens every now and then.
Person bought this for fifty bucks, had it in the
garage for many, many years. Wow, they think it's one
of the many he painted a several hundred that last
year he was alive in the mental institution. He just
went on van Go, just went on this. He was
like a painting a day and some of his most paintings,
(04:51):
famous paintings came.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Out of there. Irises and a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Starry Night came out of that painting a day out
of his mind, mental institution period. Wow, this is a
much more normal painting. But they think it's a van Go.
They've spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to authenticate
it by doing all kinds of imaging to look under
the paint and talking to artists about brushstrokes. But they
think it is an actual van Go from that period,
(05:15):
and if so, it's worth between fifteen and thirty million dollars.
This painting somebody bought for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You didn't think that could still spend whatever it took
to authenticate it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I actually I really enjoy his paintings and they are
weirdly brilliant and beautiful. I think, I honestly think that.
On the other hand, like we talk about parallel universe
versus once in a while, and it's very hard for
me to comprehend and accept it's crazy people talking. But
if there's a parallel universe where people say, yeah, he's
(05:49):
kind of a crazy guy and his paintings are kind
of pretty, but he's not significant, I mean, that would
be like the tiniest eyelash of a change from this
current universe. That sort of art is either brilliant and
celebrated worth thirty million dollars, or stuff that looks precisely
like it is worthless.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He was a hack, and who gets to decide. I
don't get. It's always seemed very odd to me at
the time.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They didn't dig it in his own brother thought, you
use too much paint. That's you gotta do something. You're
never gonna make a living at this. So AnyWho, James
Carville gets quoted a lot on Fox because he bad
mouths the Democrats all the time, even though he helped
get Bill Clinton elected. In an interview today, said that
(06:28):
Joe Biden reigns like a colossus over the democratic failure
right now, that stated the Democratic Party, reporting on the
fact that the Democrats are the most unpopular they've ever
been as a party. Democrats are the most unpopular they
have ever been as a party, and Carville says that
Biden reigns as a colossus over that, and he criticized
(06:49):
the Democrats for starting a seventh string quarterback Kamala Harris
in the Super Bowl election.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I just like that pretty good description. Yeah, seventh string,
that's good down there.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And then to mention once again that the guy just
elected this past weekend to lead the dnsa DNC. He
said she didn't get elected because of misogyny and racism,
even as minorities of all stripes leave the Democratic Party
as fast as they can.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's uh.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Either he's a super canny strategist with a you know,
a diabolical strategy that I just can't grasp, which I
don't think is the case, or he's delusional and bubbled.
I mean, like beyond my wildest dreams, because I want
conservative ideas to hold sway for as long as possible.
But can you imagine I think I believe Kamala Harris,
(07:40):
I think they believe it.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I can't imagine that. I can't imagine why you'd be
saying it at this point unless you just believed it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I mean, when Bob Dole lost, I didn't think it
was elder abuse and an anti kens and bias. I
thought he wasn't a terribly charismatic candidate. You know, Mitt Romney.
I get exactly why Mitt Romney lost. I think it's
a damn shame, but I get it. Yeah, they're just
cuckoo nuts, which again is good news for conservatism.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
How are you watching the super Bowl on Sunday or
super Bowl on Sunday? Do you say the or just
super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I say the the super Bowl like it's always been
and always must be.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
How are you watching super Bowl on Sunday? Oh, you're
an ass? I don't know. I have a moral dilemma
because I.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Accept an invitation of super Bowl Party, a that I've
gone to the first several years super Bowl party. B
Judy and I got an invite to and we kind
of sort of no show down their last gathering.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
People be there's a simple way the way you figure
this out which party would be the most fun, and
then you go to the Oh and you claim you're
sick to the other party.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh boy, oh lord, I wish I could come. I'm sick.
I'm gonna miss the whole game. And then you go
to the fun party.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think we'll divide and conquer, go to both. Wow
going to two parts, or Judy will go to the one,
then I'll go to the other for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
We'll figure it out, but I don't want to. I'm
very sensitive about offending people. Plus, obviously I am the
real get at your party. So if you had any
idea how not true that was, you'd understand that funny
that was.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Well, super Bowl is such a long day. If you
do some of the pregame and then the way they
drag out the game, it's like gonna be at least
four hours at least. See easily split that into two parties.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You want to know the truth about me showing up
at a social gathering, I'll walk in the door in
the hostel whisper to a couple of friends.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Don't bring up tariffs. Just don't bring up and somebody
will say, hey, how about Trump, what he's done? Oh no, no,
I'll start.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I'll tell you the thing about Tariff's friends, and everybody's like,
oh no.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'd wind somebody up. I'd walk into the room. Well,
fascism seems to be on the rise, doesn't anyway. I
gotta go get some chips and then just let you
do your thing.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just to punish everybody else in the room. Hilarious.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm doing pretty good with no Wine February so far.
I'm only three days in, but I don't think I've
done any whining yet.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wine with it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
H that's no Wine February. I'm trying to do it,
and I'm trying to get my kids to do it too.
They're not doing as well, but we'll see. It's a
hard habit to break.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
About some things, right, How has it gone identifying legitimate
expression of discontent versus whining?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is that a hard.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Line to find a lot of gray area? Has it
been fairly easy?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I do a better job of it with other people
than myself, with my kids than myself. Right, they're whining
about what I made them for deal. I consider that
for dinner. I consider that whining.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, Katie, I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Just gonna say I recall a little bit of whining
about the.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Weather during this show. True.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I don't know if I don't know if I can
apply it to the program. That is sort of how
I'm made my living. So my whining, yeah, exactly, whining things.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
In the news. Then I offer brave leadership to a
better tomorrow. That's kind of the in and yang of
this thing. A lot of whining is a habit though
it really really is.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, how specific do I want to be?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Complaining is a major facet of conversation among certain groups
of people, and they like reinforced that were but.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No not chicks. That's it's like a bonding thing.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But I just all the negative energy just wears me
at after a while, like, yeah, things aren't perfect, Okay,
can we focus on the positive?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, try it at home?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
See you let them let us know in the text
line of the email, how it goes. You're no wine
February do one day? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where you
gotta start one day. There is another little bit of
breaking tariff news. Is Canada gonna cave before midnight tonight
when the big Canadian tariffs hit. I no longer can
afford mounty hats, hockey pucks, and maple syrup.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And as the one hundred and first Airborne reached Greenland
yet exactly suppressed their belligerence.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We'll have the answer to all those questions. Next Yetie for.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Best Pop Vocal Album, and the Grammy.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Goes to Short and Sweet Sabrina.
Speaker 6 (12:27):

Speaker 3 (12:31):
A Dodge for Best Country Album, Cowboy Carter.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
The Grammy Award for Best New Artist goes to.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
The Song of the Year, Kendrick Lamar, not like Us for.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Album of the Year, Cowboy Carter, Extreme Beyond so to
be on.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I don't like that Kenberg Lamar won that stuff. He's
a fan.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I usually dig deep into some of the other nominees
and winners, like you know, the America Kana category or
that sort of stuff that I'm into, and usually discover
some really good, good music.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That way, excellent. Why Beyonce has the best country album
in America? I have no idea. I listened to some
of the album last night. I thought it was very
artistic and cool.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I would not have called it country if you hadn't
told me ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It would have never crossed my mind. So oh interesting, Yeah, Okay,
although it.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Does have Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton on it, So
I suppose that's the not I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's a bit of a stretch. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I was just sitting here pouting that you took one
for the team by watching the brilliant Bob Dylan movie,
and I took one for the team watching the Cartel
Boss Becomes a transgender movie. Really got the short end
of that stick out. Yeah, just like the Cartel Boss.
I'd watched the Dylan movie again. I loved it. Yeah,
I'm looking forward to seeing that of singing. This is
(14:01):
the DNC Leadership Conference over the weekend. Michael, how about
twenty seven? These are a couple of geeks. His names
you wouldn't know anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We'll begin with the opening statements.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Each candidate will have thirty seconds, and we'll start with
doctor Quintessa Hathaway.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Good evening everyone. It is my desire to be the
next DNC chair.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And I just want to give you all a little
bit of something that's been on my heart here.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Over the last couple of days.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
You fed all, you fired, all, you fighted, all you.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Fighted, all is everybody just looking at your.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Government is doing you roll? You fed on whoa you
fired all?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Hell yeah, I'm vote for because she sings good? Were
they all?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Is everybody just looking at each other like are we
supposed to sing along? Did they hand out lyric sheets?
Does they may know what's going on?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Only the Democrats? Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
We're there at the RNCA trying to come up and
I Joe Getty would like to be your chairman.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Hero Burst foreign policy is good for trade and national security, and.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Everybody like, oh I love this song.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Vote for him? Oh Lord? Where the adults? Doctor Quintessa Hathaway?
Oh boy? Oh well? Whatever at Christy Nome speaking politics
(15:39):
a cowboy hat yesterday? I like that? Oh boy? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Announced yesterday in an internal DHS memo that roughly three
hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelan's currently living in the United
States will temporarily or lose temporary protected status, as the
quote extraordinary and temporary conditions in their home country that
have allowed them to reside in the United States no
longer exist.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And then there's.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Another two hundred and fifty thousand that will retain protection
through the fall.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now are they the Venezuelans are claiming some sort of
We're trying to claim asylum right because our country is
such a mess.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah yeah, and a lot of it's legit, and a
lot of them are really nice people who want to
work hard and give a better life to the family.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
But we have immigration laws as the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
A lot of them are gang members too, and the
fact that they've been allowed to stay is absolutely obscene
and Biden ought to be in Leavenworth Prison for it.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
And if you don't like the current immigration laws, you
think they're too tight or whatever, you should vote for
people who want to change them. The laws should be
changed by Congress. Whatever the laws are, though, we should
enforce them.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
But over on the left side of the aisle, where
doctor Quinn Tessa Hathaway is warbling tunefully, they're encouraging these
anti ice demonstrations around the country, which may have brought
a freeway near you to a stand still over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
We'll talk to you about that, honey.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Well.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
They will shut down the one oh one in Los
Angeles on a Sunday in traffic of course, as always.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
In LA area.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Was a disaster before they shut it down, and certainly after.
I don't know why we ever put up with this stuff.
I just learned something interesting about how the LAPD handled
it though, among other things.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
On the way stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So which one is that Michael mind drumming and chanting
right there? Huh Okay.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
So that's some of the protests across the country, people
protesting against the deportation that's going on right now. Here's
a little more from La where the protesters were able
to shut down the one on one freeway and be
a nuisance for many many people just trying to live
their lives.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It was a giant crowd.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I mean, it was a big enough crowd to shut
down the one on one go in both directions and
many roads on either side of it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Now, I did just save it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Mexican flags chanting Mexico, Mexico.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I'm gonna read some of the news coverage of it
a little bit in the signs and all that.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
But I just saw a video of the police presence
was overwhelming. The number of LAPD they had their in
riot gear underneath the overpass.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I mean, it was impressive.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
But they let it go all day long for some reason,
with police spokesmen saying while we were there in case
things got ugly, but it was a mostly peaceful protest,
although they kept admitting over and over that it was unpermitted.
You're not permitted to shut down major thoroughfares in big
cities and inconvenience people are trying to live their lives.
But so as long as it doesn't get ugly, you
(18:51):
just stand there in information and let it play out.
I don't understand why we put up with it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Is a great source of frustration on the political right,
including myself, in that you know, conservatives are just less
likely to rally and protest and march and chance stuff,
mostly because we have jobs.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Exactly I win. I got there first anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
But you know, if you have a smallish group of
sincere people being lawless, the law will be enforced upon
them and they will.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Feel the weight of it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
If you have a large group of people and potentially
lawless and dangerous flounting the laws, the authorities will let
you do it, and you could do it as much
as you want.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And that gets a little frustrating.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Signs that said the real criminals in the White House.
Another one read Jesus love thy neighbor.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, you literally have a child rapist
living on your block. You want a child rapist living
there just because he came from a foreign land. You
are so mentally ill, I would gladly help pay for
your treatment.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I don't know if there's any point in making apart
individual signs, but Jesus said, love thy neighbor, not deport them.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Okay, that's just dumb. Multiple streets were closed by.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
The police around one oh one to stop people from
getting in a situation where they couldn't get the cars
out or whatever. So very very disruptive all day long,
five hours long. This thing lasted throughout the day, also
chanting phrases such as nobody is illegal and Viva Mexico, Mexico.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
If you like it so well, do dot.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Many Mexican flags were flown, along with several other nations
flags flying. I don't see any US flags at times. Seriously,
seriously now and.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
A steal man it for me.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What are you expressing when you're waiving a Mexican flag
demanding to be allowed to remain in the United States
as a criminal well or on behalf of criminals. Yeah,
that kind of complicates. I can't even find a good argument.
I think what you're trying to say, is we're all
of Mexican heritage, we're together on this and you can't
(21:05):
stop us.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's defiance.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yes, Katie, not only were there nothing but Mexican flags,
but they did light an American flag on fire.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
In a demand to stay in the United States. Right, Sorry,
it's too much.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
At times, fireworks were heard bursting above the large crowd
while demonstrators I'm reading from CBS News, while demonstrators leaned
out of car windows and flew their flags and shouted
along at the crowd, which translate to yes you can, Yes,
you can come to this country illegally, and even if
you're a criminal, stay here, and we'll go out of
(21:44):
our way to shield you from the cops. Even if
you're a rapist, wife beater, beef whatever, and you're here illegally.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I'd asked we can, as Chilean's rob a bunch of
houses in La Yes we can, as Venezuela moved trend
the Ragua's operations to the United States, Yes we can.
And if you're not one of those things, that's not
what we're talking about. So why would you march in
support of that? Because that's the only people being deported
right now, although the lefty media has done a really
(22:14):
good job. In fact, they came up on a couple
of the unwatchable Sunday shows that there's fear in the
immigrant community. People are afraid they'll be deported for walking
down the street. They're carrying their papers with them. Yeah,
where'd they get that idea? Well, Margaret Brennan from People
Like You.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I started the show today with they challenged anyone who
can find me any media coverage that's neutral or pro
these deportations, even though eighty five percent of Americans are
in favor of it. You'd think, I mean outside of
Fox obviously, but you would think with eighty five percent
of America, including a majority of Hispanics, saying yeah, illegals
(22:55):
who are criminals, give them the hell out of here,
you'd think given those numbers, there'd be some coverage that
it would at least be neutral on the story. But
it's always presented as a clear negative and an awful
thing that this is happening.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The protests continued into the evening.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
According to the La Times, after a citywide tactical alert
was issued around seven LA police officers.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
This had been going on for five hours. At this point, LA.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Police officers were deployed downtown and riot gear, equipped with helmets, batons,
and less than lethal weapons, forming lines to stop the
protesters and push them back near Union stations. So I
guess they drew a line you can't go any further
than this, though they didn't make them go away.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
No human is illegal on stolen Lion. That's another I
signed stolen land sing.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Another one read fight ignorance, not immigrants, whatever that means.
Videos shared appeared to show demonstrator spraying Giffiti on freeway
walls and vandalizing at least one car. It was stopped
in the middle of the crowd. Nobody is illegal, that
old stupid phrase. Then change the laws if you don't think,
(24:04):
if you think we're actually an open borders need bay,
can come here from wherever anytime they want, stay as
long as you want.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Drake it into a very very interesting conversation with a
person who's of academia, and they were saying a lot
of this stuff is actually on the Wayne A little
bit like a number of even well meaning progressive people
are saying, you know that declaration of stolen Land, and
we want to state that this land was once owned
by the chipowah blah blah blah that we've talked to
(24:30):
them and they tell us that doesn't do them any
good and it's a waste of time. So is some
of that crazy stuff is starting to wane a little bit.
As I said, the whole no human is illegal stolen
land stuff. Good lord, you have the intelect of a
third grader.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
What's the name of that? When you do that, it's
got a name. Yeah, declaration of something or other.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
This is also from the La Times. Draped in Mexican
and Salvadoran flags, demonstrators gathered near City Hall shortly before noon,
blocking traffic at blah blah blah amid honking horns and
solidarity messages from passing motorists. Protesters blast a mix of
traditional and contemporary Mexican music from loudspeakers.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I like that something for everybody, the oldest and some
of the newer stuff for the kids, and your favorite
hits from yesterday.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yes, yes, And some danced in the road in traditional
feathered headdresses.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
If I had emigrated to Germany legally or illegally as
part of a group of American expats that really liked
being in Germany, she's reading. In Germany, by law, you
can have up to six weeks of sick leave, and
so everybody takes five weeks. Evidently that's kind of the
Mendoza line. But they take more than double what a
(25:49):
lot of other countries in Europe take for sick leave
every day because they are every year because the rules
are set up, and so everybody takes damn near the max.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
So that's a week off every other month.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
So it's like, you know, the speed limit says seventy
and you know you can't go more than eighty two.
Evidently the speed limit is six weeks, and you know
if you take all of that, that looks really bad.
So I'll take five weeks.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
If you vacation every year, if.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
You have much vacation, then along with some holidays, wouldn't
you have a week off practically every month?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah essentially. Yeah, well that's fifty two weeks. Well wait
a minute, no, that's not quite right. It's five weeks
a sick leave. That's one every other month.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, that's what I was saying, every other month. But
you add that to your vacation. Oh right, and your vacation.
I see your point yeah, yeah, sorry to have a
week off every month, right, yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But so there I am in Germany with the rest
of the American expats, and Germany's going to reform their
laws and not let us lay around and suck off
the delicious German stein of government milk.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
And h.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
And I and my my buddies decide to against those
changes because we really want to stay in Germany.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And if one of my buddies said, and.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We'll all we'll all carry American flags and chant up
with America, Up with America, I'd say, who.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Hey, we're all in this together, and I can't wait till,
you know, march and chant and stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Maybe we'll honk horns. That'd be fun, wouldn't it. But
we'll play traditional and modern American music.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
If the point is that we really really want to
stay in Germany, wouldn't we like wave German flags to
emphasize that we like it here or something. No, we're
gonna defiantly wave the flag of our home country and
demand we be allowed to stay in this country.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You'd be as still don't follow you.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, you'd be a moron if you didn't think this
is really going to piss off German citizens. This is
gonna make him so mad that we're here illegally and
angry about it the way we're being treated.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
A noted immigration reformer online that I on Twitter said,
thanks for doing our jobs for us.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
The net result of this is, I'm you know, keep
it up, keep doing that, block the freeways, rave what
wave Mexican flags, and see how public opinion goes on
this topic.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Pat Trump heard about this.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
The two thirds of Americans who want to deport all
illegals regardless, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
That number will go up you keep this going. Yeah, yeah,
it is something, but you know, you reap what you saw.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
What's missing from your metaphorical allegory thing there in Germany
is you don't have a giant population of Americans that
have been there for years, woven.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Into society to out an enormous mess to accumulate, like
it's an episode of Hoarders. Cleaning the house is going
to be really difficult and not.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Everybody's going to be happy about it.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Some of the stuff though, it just no human being
is illegal. I mean some of the really childish things
are just please.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Can we just get that out of the way. Do
you want to argue about you.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Know, the needs of the economy and the wels, all right,
but god, no human beings illegal.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Like I was getting me with that again, find me
any media coverage that doesn't present this as a negative,
even though it's one of the most popular things in
America that's being done right now. But NPR was focusing
on farm help and similar to sixty Minutes a couple
of months ago, interviewing farmers in California, said I can't
get Americans to work here. There are no Americans that
(29:41):
want to come work out in the sun or the
rain or whatever and show up at five thirty in
the morning and pick something in my field. And I
just think that's so crazy. I mean, Okay, we.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Used to be able to We used to do that work.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I did that work, and now we won't the generation later. Okay,
are we cool that? Apparently we're cool with it?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, and furthermore, we don't know come up with some
I mean, because again you have to accept an absurd premise.
But okay, I accept that Americans won't do this anymore
because we're too good for it and we're too beautiful
and precious. Therefore, we're going to institute a policy of
and laws that say blah blah blah. Okay, all right,
that's crazy, but I can live with it. But no,
the answer is, therefore we can have no enforcement of
(30:23):
immigration laws whatsoever. Again, if you're more than eight years old,
you've got to realize, Oh, that's untenable.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
We can't have that. Yeah, we'll finish. We'll finish Strong mixt.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Art, Strong and Yettie.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
A seismic shift in the NBA, superstar Lebron James has
a new teammate, the Dallas Mavericks, treating their franchise superstar
Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers per former NBA
champion Anthony Davis. The five time All Star, was the
face of the Mavericks, leading them to the NBA Finals
last season. For Dallas, it's a shocking move. They now
(30:58):
move forward with thirty one year old Davis and Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, that's a big trade, man, that's a big one.
It'll be fun to watch the Lakers this year. See
how that works.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
New York Post Megan McCain blasts repugnant Kanye West, hostage
wife Bianca Sen Sorry after Grammy's twenty twenty five stunt,
it's not really a stunt.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
She's always naked.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
If you haven't been following Kanye and his wife everywhere
they go, She's naked walking through the airport, coming out
of a bagel shop. So that's just their thing. But
I don't the hostage thing. That's what Katie Now were
talking about earlier. She does have a look on her
face like she's.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Scared or something.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, I've kind of reflexively not paid much attention to
it because it seems like just a naked, pardon me,
effort to like jin up publicity or make some point
or something. I don't want to give him the time
of day. But if there is something really weird like
that going on, I've missed it.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
He might just be sticking it to Kim Kardashian see
My Hot Wife, who Need You Again?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
A hot wife and she as an uber shapely would
be Instagram something famous for being famous. Person is happy
to go along with it, or maybe they're actually in love.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, he is nuts, but uh, i'd be quite a lifestyle.
You'd have to be pretty unhappy to give up the
flying in a private plane around the world, never working ever,
Limo everywhere lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Sounds somewhat appealing.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yes, I don't know if I want to walk around naked.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Of course, I don't look like hers your home.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
For final Fox, Joe Getty, let's get a final thought
from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for
the day, beginning with our technical director Michelangelo and Michael
take it away.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Keep thinking about that Luca Donics trade.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
They said he was out of shape, And I'm really
glad we can't be traded or fired for being out
of shape, because I'd be in really big trouble.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Showed up at the beginning of the year, you know,
a little overweight and not in shape.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, that'd be tough. That'd be tough for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Here here, how about our Steve Newswoman Katie Green Katie
final thought?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Jack earlier talking about the blue light affecting sleep. Just
to let you know, I heard you say blue light glasses.
They make blue light screen covers.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Now, oh yeah, that's what I need. Then, Yeah, I'll
get that. I have it. I don't know if it's
doing anything for me that they exist. Jack final thought for.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Us, I don't know much about tariffs and trade economics
and all that sort of stuff, but they're an awful
lot of experts left right and center who think this
is a terrible idea.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I hope it works out better than that.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Well, it's beIN to look like the story is going
to be over by like six am tomorrow, which means
he was right, I guess, or successful anyway. My final thought,
it's a beloved Grammy's tradition. Year after Year nineteen seventy
eight Best New Artists, Starland Vocal Band, beat Out Boston.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
The Grammys died.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
To me that day, My friends and dead, they remain
Afternoon delight indeed.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So many people, thanks, so little time. Go to Armstrong,
Getty dot com, drop usnokee. There's something we ought to
be talking about. Send it along, pickups, ma g Swag,
The Hoodies very very popular, and our hoplanks great stuff
to read and watch and everything else.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
The Canadian Tarifs are supposed to hit it at midnight tonight.
We'll see if they cave prior to midnight the way
Mexico did.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
We're running out of time shee tomorrow. God bless America.
I'm strong and getcha. Last made in heaven.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
The two get together every morning at six o'clock over
a ton of stuff, The Greatest Dynasty.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
We're all better off. We're all better off. We're all
better off, and we're working together.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
They stood there and fought for us, for you.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I think your star spangled Boston, No Joe, So everybody chill.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
Let's go with a bang, hero Burst. Foreign policy is
good for trade and national security.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
President Trump wants the water end, and he wants all
those hostages released, including those six Americans now Nanna who
still weighing the possibility of another round of fighting in
Gaza as Hermas shows, they are still in control of
the streets there and that will be a point of
contention with the President. The two leaders also expect you
to discuss Iran and a potential normalization deal between Israel
(00:45):
and Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Man was Lindsey Graham, a Senator from South Carolina. I
declare hawkish on Iran yesterday and talking about how now
is the time for Israel to take out Iran's nuclear facilities,
and yes we would help them, so we'll see. I
don't know if that's a plan or not. If I
had to bet money, I would guess that it probably is.
Ram as it started a war.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
By lunchtime, he's sad.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The rest of the day, he's or manger Jack Neocon.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Number of things to go through the Secretary of State
Marco Rubio announced that Panama won't renew their Belt and
Road agreement with China, making it the first Latin American
nation to leave that initiative and get on the side
of the United States. That's not a minor deal. Start
to turn that around.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Also, and I must repeat for the empty time, as
this was given to me by somebody who's fluident in
Mandarin said it's mistranslated. It's one belt, one road.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's good stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Also, Marco Rubio's office announcing on Trump's greenland ambitions. This
is not a joke. This is not about acquiring land
for the purpose of acquiring land. This is international interest.
So he's one hundred percent serious about the whole trying
to figure out a way to have greenland there.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You know, the The Wall Street Journal had a great
you know how modern paper websites. They have some articles that, like,
you read and then there's an illustration and as you scroll,
the illustration changes and there's a caption and stuff like that.
It's kind of cool, interactive multimedia whatever. And they had
a really good piece about the Arctic and the ice
(02:18):
how it's shrinking, and the roots and the military bases
and the trade routes and what China's doing up there,
and what Russia's doing up there.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But the one thing, because.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You never look at the globe from that angle, really
is you realize, you know, famously, Russia and Alaska, which
is ours, are fifty seven miles apart, and the Arctic Circle.
You've got like Norway right across the North Pole from Russia,
and there's the US and there's Canada. I mean, we're
(02:46):
all like neighbors at the top of the world. And
so controlling those roots is going to be enormous for
commerce and military effectiveness. And on the other side of
that coint if anybody decides to be a dick about it,
they can really disrupt pure commerce and or military preparedness.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Well, especially in a couple of years when it's like
seventy five degrees up there and you know, everybody's vacation
in there and living there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Now, I got a vacation booked up there right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Some of the big news of the day the tariffs
who are supposed to start tomorrow on you got ten
percent on China and I think it's twenty five percent
on Canada and Mexico. Well, but Mexican one is being delayed.
The President came around and agreed to something. Critics are
saying she was going to do it anyway, but whatever.
She's sent in ten thousand troops to the border and
(03:31):
so the Mexican tariffs will be delayed. And then this
headline that just came out this morning, Infantry, marines and
other US troops have begun arriving at the US Naval
base in git Mo, Cuba, and was expected to be
an operation to house migrants, it says here in the
Washington Post. And so the Trump administration sends them to
(03:52):
their home countries. They're illegal immigrants and their criminal in
addition to be illegal criminal illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He's to be house green and the term migrants until
next month, when we're gonna call them honeybear angels.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So that's an exciting story. And I don't know how
long this will keep up.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
But Trump's approval rating right now is forty six percent.
At this time first term, he was at thirty six percent.
He's a full ten points higher that he was at
this point in his first term. That's something a non
political story I'm kind of interested in. They think they
found a new van go did you see this was
(04:30):
one of these stories that happens every now and then.
Person bought this for fifty bucks, had it in the
garage for many, many years. Wow, they think it's one
of the many he painted a several hundred that last
year he was alive in the mental institution. He just
went on van Go, just went on this. He was
like a painting a day and some of his most paintings,
(04:51):
famous paintings came.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Out of there. Irises and a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Starry Night came out of that painting a day out
of his mind, mental institution period. Wow, this is a
much more normal painting. But they think it's a van Go.
They've spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to authenticate
it by doing all kinds of imaging to look under
the paint and talking to artists about brushstrokes. But they
think it is an actual van Go from that period,
(05:15):
and if so, it's worth between fifteen and thirty million dollars.
This painting somebody bought for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You didn't think that could still spend whatever it took
to authenticate it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I actually I really enjoy his paintings and they are
weirdly brilliant and beautiful. I think, I honestly think that.
On the other hand, like we talk about parallel universe
versus once in a while, and it's very hard for
me to comprehend and accept it's crazy people talking. But
if there's a parallel universe where people say, yeah, he's
(05:49):
kind of a crazy guy and his paintings are kind
of pretty, but he's not significant, I mean, that would
be like the tiniest eyelash of a change from this
current universe. That sort of art is either brilliant and
celebrated worth thirty million dollars, or stuff that looks precisely
like it is worthless.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He was a hack, and who gets to decide. I
don't get. It's always seemed very odd to me at
the time.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They didn't dig it in his own brother thought, you
use too much paint. That's you gotta do something. You're
never gonna make a living at this. So AnyWho, James
Carville gets quoted a lot on Fox because he bad
mouths the Democrats all the time, even though he helped
get Bill Clinton elected. In an interview today, said that
(06:28):
Joe Biden reigns like a colossus over the democratic failure
right now, that stated the Democratic Party, reporting on the
fact that the Democrats are the most unpopular they've ever
been as a party. Democrats are the most unpopular they
have ever been as a party, and Carville says that
Biden reigns as a colossus over that, and he criticized
(06:49):
the Democrats for starting a seventh string quarterback Kamala Harris
in the Super Bowl election.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I just like that pretty good description. Yeah, seventh string,
that's good down there.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And then to mention once again that the guy just
elected this past weekend to lead the dnsa DNC. He
said she didn't get elected because of misogyny and racism,
even as minorities of all stripes leave the Democratic Party
as fast as they can.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's uh.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Either he's a super canny strategist with a you know,
a diabolical strategy that I just can't grasp, which I
don't think is the case, or he's delusional and bubbled.
I mean, like beyond my wildest dreams, because I want
conservative ideas to hold sway for as long as possible.
But can you imagine I think I believe Kamala Harris,
(07:40):
I think they believe it.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I can't imagine that. I can't imagine why you'd be
saying it at this point unless you just believed it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I mean, when Bob Dole lost, I didn't think it
was elder abuse and an anti kens and bias. I
thought he wasn't a terribly charismatic candidate. You know, Mitt Romney.
I get exactly why Mitt Romney lost. I think it's
a damn shame, but I get it. Yeah, they're just
cuckoo nuts, which again is good news for conservatism.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
How are you watching the super Bowl on Sunday or
super Bowl on Sunday? Do you say the or just
super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I say the the super Bowl like it's always been
and always must be.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
How are you watching super Bowl on Sunday? Oh, you're
an ass? I don't know. I have a moral dilemma
because I.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Accept an invitation of super Bowl Party, a that I've
gone to the first several years super Bowl party. B
Judy and I got an invite to and we kind
of sort of no show down their last gathering.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
People be there's a simple way the way you figure
this out which party would be the most fun, and
then you go to the Oh and you claim you're
sick to the other party.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh boy, oh lord, I wish I could come. I'm sick.
I'm gonna miss the whole game. And then you go
to the fun party.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think we'll divide and conquer, go to both. Wow
going to two parts, or Judy will go to the one,
then I'll go to the other for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
We'll figure it out, but I don't want to. I'm
very sensitive about offending people. Plus, obviously I am the
real get at your party. So if you had any
idea how not true that was, you'd understand that funny
that was.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Well, super Bowl is such a long day. If you
do some of the pregame and then the way they
drag out the game, it's like gonna be at least
four hours at least. See easily split that into two parties.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You want to know the truth about me showing up
at a social gathering, I'll walk in the door in
the hostel whisper to a couple of friends.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Don't bring up tariffs. Just don't bring up and somebody
will say, hey, how about Trump, what he's done? Oh no, no,
I'll start.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I'll tell you the thing about Tariff's friends, and everybody's like,
oh no.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'd wind somebody up. I'd walk into the room. Well,
fascism seems to be on the rise, doesn't anyway. I
gotta go get some chips and then just let you
do your thing.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just to punish everybody else in the room. Hilarious.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm doing pretty good with no Wine February so far.
I'm only three days in, but I don't think I've
done any whining yet.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wine with it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
H that's no Wine February. I'm trying to do it,
and I'm trying to get my kids to do it too.
They're not doing as well, but we'll see. It's a
hard habit to break.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
About some things, right, How has it gone identifying legitimate
expression of discontent versus whining?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is that a hard.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Line to find a lot of gray area? Has it
been fairly easy?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I do a better job of it with other people
than myself, with my kids than myself. Right, they're whining
about what I made them for deal. I consider that
for dinner. I consider that whining.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, Katie, I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Just gonna say I recall a little bit of whining
about the.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Weather during this show. True.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I don't know if I don't know if I can
apply it to the program. That is sort of how
I'm made my living. So my whining, yeah, exactly, whining things.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
In the news. Then I offer brave leadership to a
better tomorrow. That's kind of the in and yang of
this thing. A lot of whining is a habit though
it really really is.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, how specific do I want to be?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Complaining is a major facet of conversation among certain groups
of people, and they like reinforced that were but.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No not chicks. That's it's like a bonding thing.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But I just all the negative energy just wears me
at after a while, like, yeah, things aren't perfect, Okay,
can we focus on the positive?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, try it at home?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
See you let them let us know in the text
line of the email, how it goes. You're no wine
February do one day? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where you
gotta start one day. There is another little bit of
breaking tariff news. Is Canada gonna cave before midnight tonight
when the big Canadian tariffs hit. I no longer can
afford mounty hats, hockey pucks, and maple syrup.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And as the one hundred and first Airborne reached Greenland
yet exactly suppressed their belligerence.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I don't like that Kenberg Lamar won that stuff. He's
a fan.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I usually dig deep into some of the other nominees
and winners, like you know, the America Kana category or
that sort of stuff that I'm into, and usually discover
some really good, good music.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That way, excellent. Why Beyonce has the best country album
in America? I have no idea. I listened to some
of the album last night. I thought it was very
artistic and cool.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I would not have called it country if you hadn't
told me ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It would have never crossed my mind. So oh interesting, Yeah, Okay,
although it.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Does have Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton on it, So
I suppose that's the not I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's a bit of a stretch. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I was just sitting here pouting that you took one
for the team by watching the brilliant Bob Dylan movie,
and I took one for the team watching the Cartel
Boss Becomes a transgender movie. Really got the short end
of that stick out. Yeah, just like the Cartel Boss.
I'd watched the Dylan movie again. I loved it. Yeah,
I'm looking forward to seeing that of singing. This is
(14:01):
the DNC Leadership Conference over the weekend. Michael, how about
twenty seven? These are a couple of geeks. His names
you wouldn't know anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We'll begin with the opening statements.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Each candidate will have thirty seconds, and we'll start with
doctor Quintessa Hathaway.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Good evening everyone. It is my desire to be the
next DNC chair.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And I just want to give you all a little
bit of something that's been on my heart here.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Over the last couple of days.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
You fed all, you fired, all, you fighted, all you.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Fighted, all is everybody just looking at your.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Government is doing you roll? You fed on whoa you
fired all?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Hell yeah, I'm vote for because she sings good? Were
they all?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Is everybody just looking at each other like are we
supposed to sing along? Did they hand out lyric sheets?
Does they may know what's going on?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Only the Democrats? Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
We're there at the RNCA trying to come up and
I Joe Getty would like to be your chairman.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Hero Burst foreign policy is good for trade and national security, and.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Everybody like, oh I love this song.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Vote for him? Oh Lord? Where the adults? Doctor Quintessa Hathaway?
Oh boy? Oh well? Whatever at Christy Nome speaking politics
(15:39):
a cowboy hat yesterday? I like that? Oh boy? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Announced yesterday in an internal DHS memo that roughly three
hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelan's currently living in the United
States will temporarily or lose temporary protected status, as the
quote extraordinary and temporary conditions in their home country that
have allowed them to reside in the United States no
longer exist.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And then there's.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Another two hundred and fifty thousand that will retain protection
through the fall.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now are they the Venezuelans are claiming some sort of
We're trying to claim asylum right because our country is
such a mess.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah yeah, and a lot of it's legit, and a
lot of them are really nice people who want to
work hard and give a better life to the family.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
But we have immigration laws as the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
A lot of them are gang members too, and the
fact that they've been allowed to stay is absolutely obscene
and Biden ought to be in Leavenworth Prison for it.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
And if you don't like the current immigration laws, you
think they're too tight or whatever, you should vote for
people who want to change them. The laws should be
changed by Congress. Whatever the laws are, though, we should
enforce them.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
But over on the left side of the aisle, where
doctor Quinn Tessa Hathaway is warbling tunefully, they're encouraging these
anti ice demonstrations around the country, which may have brought
a freeway near you to a stand still over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
We'll talk to you about that, honey.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Well.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
They will shut down the one oh one in Los
Angeles on a Sunday in traffic of course, as always.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
In LA area.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Was a disaster before they shut it down, and certainly after.
I don't know why we ever put up with this stuff.
I just learned something interesting about how the LAPD handled
it though, among other things.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
On the way stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So which one is that Michael mind drumming and chanting
right there? Huh Okay.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
So that's some of the protests across the country, people
protesting against the deportation that's going on right now. Here's
a little more from La where the protesters were able
to shut down the one on one freeway and be
a nuisance for many many people just trying to live
their lives.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It was a giant crowd.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I mean, it was a big enough crowd to shut
down the one on one go in both directions and
many roads on either side of it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Now, I did just save it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Mexican flags chanting Mexico, Mexico.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I'm gonna read some of the news coverage of it
a little bit in the signs and all that.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
But I just saw a video of the police presence
was overwhelming. The number of LAPD they had their in
riot gear underneath the overpass.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I mean, it was impressive.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
But they let it go all day long for some reason,
with police spokesmen saying while we were there in case
things got ugly, but it was a mostly peaceful protest,
although they kept admitting over and over that it was unpermitted.
You're not permitted to shut down major thoroughfares in big
cities and inconvenience people are trying to live their lives.
But so as long as it doesn't get ugly, you
(18:51):
just stand there in information and let it play out.
I don't understand why we put up with it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Is a great source of frustration on the political right,
including myself, in that you know, conservatives are just less
likely to rally and protest and march and chance stuff,
mostly because we have jobs.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Exactly I win. I got there first anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
But you know, if you have a smallish group of
sincere people being lawless, the law will be enforced upon
them and they will.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Feel the weight of it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
If you have a large group of people and potentially
lawless and dangerous flounting the laws, the authorities will let
you do it, and you could do it as much
as you want.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And that gets a little frustrating.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Signs that said the real criminals in the White House.
Another one read Jesus love thy neighbor.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, you literally have a child rapist
living on your block. You want a child rapist living
there just because he came from a foreign land. You
are so mentally ill, I would gladly help pay for
your treatment.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I don't know if there's any point in making apart
individual signs, but Jesus said, love thy neighbor, not deport them.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Okay, that's just dumb. Multiple streets were closed by.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
The police around one oh one to stop people from
getting in a situation where they couldn't get the cars
out or whatever. So very very disruptive all day long,
five hours long. This thing lasted throughout the day, also
chanting phrases such as nobody is illegal and Viva Mexico, Mexico.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
If you like it so well, do dot.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Many Mexican flags were flown, along with several other nations
flags flying. I don't see any US flags at times. Seriously,
seriously now and.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
A steal man it for me.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What are you expressing when you're waiving a Mexican flag
demanding to be allowed to remain in the United States
as a criminal well or on behalf of criminals. Yeah,
that kind of complicates. I can't even find a good argument.
I think what you're trying to say, is we're all
of Mexican heritage, we're together on this and you can't
(21:05):
stop us.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's defiance.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yes, Katie, not only were there nothing but Mexican flags,
but they did light an American flag on fire.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
In a demand to stay in the United States. Right, Sorry,
it's too much.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
At times, fireworks were heard bursting above the large crowd
while demonstrators I'm reading from CBS News, while demonstrators leaned
out of car windows and flew their flags and shouted
along at the crowd, which translate to yes you can, Yes,
you can come to this country illegally, and even if
you're a criminal, stay here, and we'll go out of
(21:44):
our way to shield you from the cops. Even if
you're a rapist, wife beater, beef whatever, and you're here illegally.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I'd asked we can, as Chilean's rob a bunch of
houses in La Yes we can, as Venezuela moved trend
the Ragua's operations to the United States, Yes we can.
And if you're not one of those things, that's not
what we're talking about. So why would you march in
support of that? Because that's the only people being deported
right now, although the lefty media has done a really
(22:14):
good job. In fact, they came up on a couple
of the unwatchable Sunday shows that there's fear in the
immigrant community. People are afraid they'll be deported for walking
down the street. They're carrying their papers with them. Yeah,
where'd they get that idea? Well, Margaret Brennan from People
Like You.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I started the show today with they challenged anyone who
can find me any media coverage that's neutral or pro
these deportations, even though eighty five percent of Americans are
in favor of it. You'd think, I mean outside of
Fox obviously, but you would think with eighty five percent
of America, including a majority of Hispanics, saying yeah, illegals
(22:55):
who are criminals, give them the hell out of here,
you'd think given those numbers, there'd be some coverage that
it would at least be neutral on the story. But
it's always presented as a clear negative and an awful
thing that this is happening.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The protests continued into the evening.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
According to the La Times, after a citywide tactical alert
was issued around seven LA police officers.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
This had been going on for five hours. At this point, LA.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Police officers were deployed downtown and riot gear, equipped with helmets, batons,
and less than lethal weapons, forming lines to stop the
protesters and push them back near Union stations. So I
guess they drew a line you can't go any further
than this, though they didn't make them go away.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
No human is illegal on stolen Lion. That's another I
signed stolen land sing.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Another one read fight ignorance, not immigrants, whatever that means.
Videos shared appeared to show demonstrator spraying Giffiti on freeway
walls and vandalizing at least one car. It was stopped
in the middle of the crowd. Nobody is illegal, that
old stupid phrase. Then change the laws if you don't think,
(24:04):
if you think we're actually an open borders need bay,
can come here from wherever anytime they want, stay as
long as you want.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Drake it into a very very interesting conversation with a
person who's of academia, and they were saying a lot
of this stuff is actually on the Wayne A little
bit like a number of even well meaning progressive people
are saying, you know that declaration of stolen Land, and
we want to state that this land was once owned
by the chipowah blah blah blah that we've talked to
(24:30):
them and they tell us that doesn't do them any
good and it's a waste of time. So is some
of that crazy stuff is starting to wane a little bit.
As I said, the whole no human is illegal stolen
land stuff. Good lord, you have the intelect of a
third grader.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
What's the name of that? When you do that, it's
got a name. Yeah, declaration of something or other.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
This is also from the La Times. Draped in Mexican
and Salvadoran flags, demonstrators gathered near City Hall shortly before noon,
blocking traffic at blah blah blah amid honking horns and
solidarity messages from passing motorists. Protesters blast a mix of
traditional and contemporary Mexican music from loudspeakers.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I like that something for everybody, the oldest and some
of the newer stuff for the kids, and your favorite
hits from yesterday.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yes, yes, And some danced in the road in traditional
feathered headdresses.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
If I had emigrated to Germany legally or illegally as
part of a group of American expats that really liked
being in Germany, she's reading. In Germany, by law, you
can have up to six weeks of sick leave, and
so everybody takes five weeks. Evidently that's kind of the
Mendoza line. But they take more than double what a
(25:49):
lot of other countries in Europe take for sick leave
every day because they are every year because the rules
are set up, and so everybody takes damn near the max.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
So that's a week off every other month.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
So it's like, you know, the speed limit says seventy
and you know you can't go more than eighty two.
Evidently the speed limit is six weeks, and you know
if you take all of that, that looks really bad.
So I'll take five weeks.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
If you vacation every year, if.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
You have much vacation, then along with some holidays, wouldn't
you have a week off practically every month?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah essentially. Yeah, well that's fifty two weeks. Well wait
a minute, no, that's not quite right. It's five weeks
a sick leave. That's one every other month.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, that's what I was saying, every other month. But
you add that to your vacation. Oh right, and your vacation.
I see your point yeah, yeah, sorry to have a
week off every month, right, yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But so there I am in Germany with the rest
of the American expats, and Germany's going to reform their
laws and not let us lay around and suck off
the delicious German stein of government milk.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
And h.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
And I and my my buddies decide to against those
changes because we really want to stay in Germany.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And if one of my buddies said, and.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We'll all we'll all carry American flags and chant up
with America, Up with America, I'd say, who.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Hey, we're all in this together, and I can't wait till,
you know, march and chant and stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Maybe we'll honk horns. That'd be fun, wouldn't it. But
we'll play traditional and modern American music.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
If the point is that we really really want to
stay in Germany, wouldn't we like wave German flags to
emphasize that we like it here or something. No, we're
gonna defiantly wave the flag of our home country and
demand we be allowed to stay in this country.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You'd be as still don't follow you.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, you'd be a moron if you didn't think this
is really going to piss off German citizens. This is
gonna make him so mad that we're here illegally and
angry about it the way we're being treated.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
A noted immigration reformer online that I on Twitter said,
thanks for doing our jobs for us.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
The net result of this is, I'm you know, keep
it up, keep doing that, block the freeways, rave what
wave Mexican flags, and see how public opinion goes on
this topic.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Pat Trump heard about this.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
The two thirds of Americans who want to deport all
illegals regardless, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
That number will go up you keep this going. Yeah, yeah,
it is something, but you know, you reap what you saw.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
What's missing from your metaphorical allegory thing there in Germany
is you don't have a giant population of Americans that
have been there for years, woven.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Into society to out an enormous mess to accumulate, like
it's an episode of Hoarders. Cleaning the house is going
to be really difficult and not.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Everybody's going to be happy about it.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Some of the stuff though, it just no human being
is illegal. I mean some of the really childish things
are just please.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Can we just get that out of the way. Do
you want to argue about you.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Know, the needs of the economy and the wels, all right,
but god, no human beings illegal.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Like I was getting me with that again, find me
any media coverage that doesn't present this as a negative,
even though it's one of the most popular things in
America that's being done right now. But NPR was focusing
on farm help and similar to sixty Minutes a couple
of months ago, interviewing farmers in California, said I can't
get Americans to work here. There are no Americans that
(29:41):
want to come work out in the sun or the
rain or whatever and show up at five thirty in
the morning and pick something in my field. And I
just think that's so crazy. I mean, Okay, we.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Used to be able to We used to do that work.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I did that work, and now we won't the generation later. Okay,
are we cool that? Apparently we're cool with it?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, and furthermore, we don't know come up with some
I mean, because again you have to accept an absurd premise.
But okay, I accept that Americans won't do this anymore
because we're too good for it and we're too beautiful
and precious. Therefore, we're going to institute a policy of
and laws that say blah blah blah. Okay, all right,
that's crazy, but I can live with it. But no,
the answer is, therefore we can have no enforcement of
(30:23):
immigration laws whatsoever. Again, if you're more than eight years old,
you've got to realize, Oh, that's untenable.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
We can't have that. Yeah, we'll finish. We'll finish Strong mixt.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Art, Strong and Yettie.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
A seismic shift in the NBA, superstar Lebron James has
a new teammate, the Dallas Mavericks, treating their franchise superstar
Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers per former NBA
champion Anthony Davis. The five time All Star, was the
face of the Mavericks, leading them to the NBA Finals
last season. For Dallas, it's a shocking move. They now
(30:58):
move forward with thirty one year old Davis and Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, that's a big trade, man, that's a big one.
It'll be fun to watch the Lakers this year. See
how that works.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
New York Post Megan McCain blasts repugnant Kanye West, hostage
wife Bianca Sen Sorry after Grammy's twenty twenty five stunt,
it's not really a stunt.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
She's always naked.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
If you haven't been following Kanye and his wife everywhere
they go, She's naked walking through the airport, coming out
of a bagel shop. So that's just their thing. But
I don't the hostage thing. That's what Katie Now were
talking about earlier. She does have a look on her
face like she's.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Scared or something.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, I've kind of reflexively not paid much attention to
it because it seems like just a naked, pardon me,
effort to like jin up publicity or make some point
or something. I don't want to give him the time
of day. But if there is something really weird like
that going on, I've missed it.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
He might just be sticking it to Kim Kardashian see
My Hot Wife, who Need You Again?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
A hot wife and she as an uber shapely would
be Instagram something famous for being famous. Person is happy
to go along with it, or maybe they're actually in love.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, he is nuts, but uh, i'd be quite a lifestyle.
You'd have to be pretty unhappy to give up the
flying in a private plane around the world, never working ever,
Limo everywhere lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Sounds somewhat appealing.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yes, I don't know if I want to walk around naked.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Of course, I don't look like hers your home.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
For final Fox, Joe Getty, let's get a final thought
from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for
the day, beginning with our technical director Michelangelo and Michael
take it away.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Keep thinking about that Luca Donics trade.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
They said he was out of shape, And I'm really
glad we can't be traded or fired for being out
of shape, because I'd be in really big trouble.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Showed up at the beginning of the year, you know,
a little overweight and not in shape.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, that'd be tough. That'd be tough for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Here here, how about our Steve Newswoman Katie Green Katie
final thought?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Jack earlier talking about the blue light affecting sleep. Just
to let you know, I heard you say blue light glasses.
They make blue light screen covers.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Now, oh yeah, that's what I need. Then, Yeah, I'll
get that. I have it. I don't know if it's
doing anything for me that they exist. Jack final thought for.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Us, I don't know much about tariffs and trade economics
and all that sort of stuff, but they're an awful
lot of experts left right and center who think this
is a terrible idea.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I hope it works out better than that.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Well, it's beIN to look like the story is going
to be over by like six am tomorrow, which means
he was right, I guess, or successful anyway. My final thought,
it's a beloved Grammy's tradition. Year after Year nineteen seventy
eight Best New Artists, Starland Vocal Band, beat Out Boston.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
The Grammys died.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
To me that day, My friends and dead, they remain
Afternoon delight indeed.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So many people, thanks, so little time. Go to Armstrong,
Getty dot com, drop usnokee. There's something we ought to
be talking about. Send it along, pickups, ma g Swag,
The Hoodies very very popular, and our hoplanks great stuff
to read and watch and everything else.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
The Canadian Tarifs are supposed to hit it at midnight tonight.
We'll see if they cave prior to midnight the way
Mexico did.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
We're running out of time shee tomorrow. God bless America.
I'm strong and getcha. Last made in heaven.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
The two get together every morning at six o'clock over
a ton of stuff, The Greatest Dynasty.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
We're all better off. We're all better off. We're all
better off, and we're working together.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
They stood there and fought for us, for you.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
