Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Caddy.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Arm Strong, and Jackie and he Armstrong and Caddy Strong.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
So it's graduation season, and particularly around colleges, it's the
time of the year where self important liberals get invited
to major universities to give speeches and then the media
covers them like a news event because they're saying the
sort of thing that most of the media agrees with.
(00:48):
That's what happens well described. There are you know, people
who lean right that go to colleges that lean right,
the few that are, but they never make get any
news coverage, so you don't hear about them, including the
president instance. But here Joe mentioned this last week, I've
seen this starting to burble up and get more attention.
(01:08):
Where was which university? Was he speaking at North Carolina
Wake Forest? Wake Forest in South Carolina, Carolina? I thought
Wake Force was South Carolina and not unless it's moved, Okay, it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's you know, it's it's your your it's your major
figure of the left giving a lefty speech. But he
went over the top and one of the reasons it's
so remarkable is he's on one of the most important
news programs in the world, Sixty Minutes, which allegedly is
trying to be you know, a nonpartisan, hit it down
(01:47):
the middle sort of coverage, or at the very least fair,
just be fair, and a guy with this point of
view can't be doing that. This is Scott Pelley speaking
to college graduates.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can
make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the
definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity
(02:22):
is now described as illegal, Equity is to be shunned.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Inclusion is a dirty word.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
This is an old playbook, my friends, there's nothing new
in this.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
We have another clip that I'm tempted to play. It's
all about the fear, be very afraid, We're all in
grave danger. Goes on and on, But that one really
caught my ear because he claimed that the center and
the right are trying to change the defaults of words,
or say that they're no longer acceptable diversity, equity, and inclusion,
(03:06):
which we all know exactly what they mean, and we
all know they're wonderful. Those sickos on the right are
trying to change what they mean, which is just unbelievable. Diversity, equity,
and inclusion coming out of the mouths of a leftists
mean nothing like you think they mean. It is a
tool of capturing institutions.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Right man.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The left is so good at this game, and they
get to pull it off with the help of the
complying to media. It's like what I was listening to
an on NPR today. They were discussing how Trump is
trying to change the way we teach history in America
and all the things he's attacking. Well, you put it
in there. What do y'all lead within the last ten years?
What they teach in schools is not the same as
(03:48):
what they taught in schools when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You put stuff in there that a lot of us
don't like.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
When Trump tries to take it out, that's not rewriting history.
You rewrote history. He's trying to write it back to
what it was before. Sixty minutes anchor Scott Pelly ripped
for angry, unhinged commencement speech criticizing Trump. Now, that's the
New York Post's headline on that. Their version of it
but angry and unhinged is not far off. He said
(04:15):
that the uh we should all be worried about the
insidious sphere that has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across
the nation, leaving America in a state of peril. The
country needs you. The country that has given you so
much is calling you, the class of twenty twenty five.
Your country needs you, and it needs you today the morning.
(04:37):
Our sacred rule of law. This morning, our sacred rule
of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack, universities
are under attack, freedom of speech is under attack, and
insidious fear is reaching throughout the schools and into our
private thoughts. All right, boy, that is just absolutely classic.
You spend all of your time and your career convincing
(05:01):
people they need to be terrified, when there's like two
thirds of the country that's not at all, I mean,
from mildly concerned to very interested. But no, we're not
being torn apart by insidious.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Fear at all.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Scott, and the part right before that little clip about
power that we just played you the fear to speak
in America. If our government is in Lincoln's phrase, of
the people, by the people, for the people.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Then why are we afraid to speak? What the effort
you talk about? Don't know?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I assume he's referencing that Columbia student that got snatched
up on the campus and that you were literally speaking
about how you're afraid to speak. Do you see the
irony there, Scott? Do I see the irony there?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Now, the New York Post says the speech was received
with scattered, scant applause.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's the New York Post version. I don't know. I
haven't actually listened.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
They might say that, and that might not be true,
or it may be true, and it might be because
everybody's barely paying attention and they just want to get
out of there on a hot day. How long is
this going to last? As opposed to not enjoying what
he had to say, but that that is, that is
that is just craziness. It is just craziness.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yeah, I love the It reminds me so much of
when Komy braced the president so then he could lake
that leak that the president has.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Been briefed on this Steele dossier.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Well, so Scott Pelley and his brethren preached being terrified
and in fear all the time, and then he goes
to the graduation ceremony and breathlessly reports and everybody's really afraid.
There's fear, in citious fear going on. Yeah, I wonder
where that in citious fear came from. It's the roughly
third of the country that listens to you and beliefs
(06:48):
your crap. Don't don't terrify them, then report that they're
terrified and act as.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
If somebody else did it.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, And as he stands up in front of a
bunch of university kids and said, now is the moment
your nation is calling on you.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
With all the fear to speak out.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, the fear to speak out for the past quite
a while has been from anybody to the right on
any college campus because you'll be a physically attacked and
the university will do nothing about it. As long as
you as long as you speak progressive stuff, you're safe.
You speak anything the other side, you're physically not safe.
But you didn't care about that fear to speak out aspect,
(07:25):
did you, Scott Pelly?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You Pampus asked, not for a second, did you worry
about that?
Speaker 5 (07:29):
And just to double down on what you're saying, And
it wasn't like the right half of ideology that was
afraid to speak out.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It was the right eighty percent.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Anything outside of the most radical leftism had to keep
its mouth shut on college campuses. And now Scott Pelley's
preaching that people are afraid to speak out.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, oh my god, he is a piece of ass.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is
reaching throughout our school, our businesses, our homes, and into
our private thoughts.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What are you hands show a hans who's.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Got insidious fear going in their business because they're afraid
to speak or whatever. Now, maybe the tariffs have got
you upset. I'll grant you that. Well, I'll tell you
what that is. I'll tell you what that's driving that is.
He believes diversity, equity and quality inequality means diversity, equity, inequality,
that they mean those words, inclusion mean those words and
(08:26):
not what they've twisted them to mean. And it's so
that's what he's basing it on. So he is the
useful idiot. He is the big, famous, pompous, useful idiot
who doesn't understand neomarxism. He just he thinks it's a
moral ark. Well, I'll move on from this because we
don't need to belabor it forever. But do you think
do you think he doesn't know that college campuses are
(08:47):
not a safe space? I hate that term for anybody
to you know, on the right eighty percent? As you said, right, Yeah,
does he not ignore us?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I don't think he's a knowledgeable, insidious activist. I think
he is a pompous, rich, famous idiot, probably with big guns.
Oh hey, tight shirts. Your shirt shrank in the dryer
or something. It's very tight, very impressive for an older man.
I'm very impressive for an older man. Yes, you pompous pos.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
See Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Who's your favorite Simpsons character? Here's might be progressive economist
Robert Reisch.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wait what.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
The decline of unions, rampant corporate greed, Wall Street mouthpeesians,
and the rise of short sighted politics all contributed to
increased economic inequality, widespread real unemployment wage, that nation had
a lower standard of living for millions of Americans.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, that's from the most recent episode of The Simpsons,
which I understand. I mean they've thrown in random people
over the years and kind of funny ways. Oh my god,
it's so and so. But this was part of an
overall episode in which they were explaining on how the
middle classes getting screwed has gone away back in the fifties.
I mean they even they talk about this. Well, I
(10:26):
don't want to steal all of this. Here's a little
bit of Alisa Simpson talking about it.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
All right, thanks for the history lesson nerds, But what.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Does any of this have to do with me?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
You see, my dad's still working and I want to
be just like him.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
There's something else you need to learn, and my friend
here is happy to teach you.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Ough you for.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Days, you've been dying to say something, Just spill it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You want to count like that? Too bad?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
So sad they'll never had the life of flaming ant.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
What can he do that a robot can't do that
nuclear plant?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Yo?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I need is a foot in.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
The door, and I'll take dance job, winning down the
boarding car job usday man needs a PhD. Walk Kingston
comes leaves you and poverty. Don't clean your car, gosy house,
no hot Dennis, good fire, stay at homes pass You're
done a feuchery Coolerance sage, and you'll still have to
choose between health care and rent.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
We'll probably just buy a play station six. You're my
day pass. Don't read by your skateboard.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
You'll grow up.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You'll still have to choose between healthcare and rent. From
The Simpsons, Wow, talking about how they get into it.
I remember that song or some other part of the episode.
A lot of it's a musical about out in the fifties.
You could have a house and and uh and raise
kids and go to college and do all the things
you wanted on one salary, and now everybody has to
(11:47):
work and you can't get ahead and blah blah blah
blah blah. And then Robert Reich comes on. He was
the Obama's economic guy in Clinton's and he's a super
lefty anyway, he'd seriously be.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
More comfortable in Venezuela in the United States.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Actually had all these charts that they were using on
The Simpsons about how wages haven't increased, of course, completely
leaving out the transfer payments of taxpayer money that are included.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Blah blah blah, that sort of stuff. I don't want
to get off on that.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's just unbelievable that the Simpsons did an episode that
was like practically void of humor and just about economics
all from one side. And then at the end, and
if you already saw the episode, you know this. At
the end of the janitor character who's trying to explain
(12:37):
how awful America is in the incoming equality to Bart says,
Bart says, basically, what can anybody do at this point?
All we can do is burn it down. Bart says, cool,
and he gets out his lighter and he goes to
start a fire, and the janitor says, no, that's a metaphor.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean burn the system down. And that's the end
of the show.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Wow, the Simpsons, the Services burned the system down the end.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Holy crap. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Jeesus, I'd say that, wow, Wow, Wow. I felt like
the politic The Simpsons were mostly non political for most.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Of their years.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Then there was some you know, like you're gonna get
out of anything on TV, you know, some of this
or that. But I mean, they made as many jokes
about Bill Clinton certainly as they made about George Bush
way back in the day. But this this was just
I mean, it was beyond anything I've ever seen on
any supposed entertainment show. Ever. Wow, I've got to watch that.
(13:43):
Is it possible? I mean putting us at how outrageous
and dishonest it is. And you know again, I'd like
to get off on the economic arguments because they're almost
entirely false. But The Simpsons has already been has always
been written from the point of view of like, if
there's a continuum of like radical Marxist to ultra conservative,
(14:06):
their writers have always been like thirty three percent like
liberal but moderate, sane liberal, sure, which is what I
expect out of all my sitcums.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Misfit Hollywood types who write jokes for living right. Is
it possible that a third of the way on the
continuum is now ultra woke, neo Marxist because of the
hard swing left of the left.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I was watching this episode with my kids, which they
didn't find entertaining at all.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
They wanted to turn it off.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Because it just wasn't interesting to them a bunch of
economic statistics, but.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I wanted to see the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I was just thinking, the writers must have decided, you
know what we have, We have the power to get
this message out and let's let's let's do it.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Let's take one episode and do it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
That's all I could think, because they seem to a
banded in the idea of.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
The show was a car certainment, entertainment of cartoon sitcom.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Really weird though.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And to the point of burning down the system is
the only thing you can.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Do neo Marxism. Wow.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Well that the producers in Brass had to approve that too.
I mean, the executive producers are aware of what the
episodes are, or at least the you know, the producers.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
These are such weird times. And why it's so ridiculous
by the way that people tag the Fox Television network
with the same view that they have about Sean Hannity.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I mean, come on Fox News. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
know what, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
There's so many like obvious truths that we talk about
on this show that you almost never hear anywhere else.
In the top five or ten is certainly that yes,
those wonderful manufacturing jobs where you could wander out of
high school across the street to the Ford Motor Plant
or whatever, make a nice middle class income by a house,
a car in the suburbs.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Blah blah blah, real with your frist. Europe was decimated
by World War Two and wasn't manufacturing anything but buildings,
so they would have roofs over their heads. And in
Asia was to a large extent either pre industrial or
decimated by.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
World War Two. So yes, we made the cars and
the toasters of the world.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Everybody else was rolling around in rubble trying to find
their loved ones who died. That's close to word to
word what I said to my kids on a unfortunate
Saturday afternoon for them when they just wanted to watch
The Simpsons, because I was explaining that to him, and
I also said it the whole you used to be
able to have a house in a car and send
your kids at college on one income. I said, you
know those houses were looking at because we're looking at
(16:50):
houses that are way too small for us.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's the size house everybody.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Used to live in on their one income, and everybody,
including the family I grew up in, had one car,
so it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Was quite different light style.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Well, in the idea of country X, exporting toasters around
the globe was utterly impractical for various logistical reasons.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Now it's quite practical.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
You could have a big giant toaster plant in India
and cell your toasters around the world in a way
that was never possible in the fifties and sixties.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's the most it's the name of the episode is
called Poorhouse Rock.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I think it's the most recent episode that the Simpsons
have put out. Well, not very funny. The Armstrong and
Getty show.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, your Joe podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
In Los Angeles police breaking up crowns what appears.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
To be the police called Leslieth, but.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
The large majority of the more than two thousand nationwide
so called no Kings events taking place without incident.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Well, that's true, it's great, that's true.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
But that was a fair amount of Mayhem that you
just played for us, you know what I'm reminding you,
kind of YadA YadA YadA, the Mayhem.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Right exactly Mayhem and these eleven cities, But mostly it
was peaceful. It reminds me very much of the discussion,
particularly about a decade ago, about moderate Muslims.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, no, sixty seven percent of Muslims don't want to
kill all the Jews and infidels and take over the world. Well,
those folks are irrelevant to the discussion. There are plenty
who do want to do all those horrible, unspeakable things
and or set fire to cities and bash cops heads
in plenty.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's who we're talking about. Right.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
If I'm a cop and that one guy has thrown
chunks of cement at my head, I'm really interested in that, dude,
even if there are a thousand people over there peaceful.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Right, two major things happened, and then we will discuss.
Because you're busy with your life and your weekend, you
shouldn't even know this because you're in normal person and
you had summertime stuff to do, which I actually did do.
But Trump Friday ordered immigration customs enforcement better known as
ICE officers. On Friday, he ordered them to stop conducting
(19:16):
raids and arrests on farms, restaurants, and hotels agricultural meatpacking plants.
Several news outlets reported the decision reportedly came directly from
the President. Our great farmers and people in the hotel
and leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive
policy and immigration is taking very good, longtime workers away
(19:36):
from him. Those whose job as being almost impossible to replace.
This is one of those deals where Trump comments on
the news of the day like he's.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
A bystander, right, which is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
But so you know, the conversation had turned late in
the week last week toward you rounded up all the people.
You're showing up at farms and rounding up people have
been there for years? Is that what we want to do?
Blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, fine, so there's that.
We'll get back to that in a second. But then
yesterday Trump in like a tolstoying length tweet from this
(20:10):
from his outlet thingy, and I'll just read one sentence
of it because it's very, very very long. ICE officers
are herewith ordered by notice of this truth.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
So I like that the policy comes out this way.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
ICE officers are here with ordered by notice of this truth,
to do all in their power to achieve the very
important goal of delivering the single largest mass deportation program
in history.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And then he goes through all kinds of details and everything.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
What's your gut reaction to those two announcements. I do
kind of like the quasi constitutional verbiage of by here
by declare according to my article seven powers under truth
social anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Sorry, So what's your gut reaction of the ab there?
I don't know. Well, I.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Have one go ahead, I have an overarching theme about
all of this, But I don't I don't know. I
don't know what was going on with why he reacted
the way he did Friday, And was he backing off
that yesterday or is he is?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
A The announcement about hey, we're backing off farms and
hotels and restaurants and meat packing plants and the rest
of it. In short, workplace raise was a realistic reaction
to huge sectors of the economy saying whoa WHOA. B
(21:38):
was talking to the base, the hardcore, deport everybody base
and Stephen Miller that part of the administration saying hey,
I'm still on your team.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I still got your back.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So was one was behind the scenes and one was
more pr So I heard something damn interesting over the
week in that I think.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Is true, so I will repeat it here.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Sarah Isger of the Dispatch who she has been involved
in several presidential campaigns and understands issue polling about as
well as anybody, And I love the way She's always
described that issue polling is practically worthless for all kinds
of different reasons.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
But they were.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Discussing the polls showing, you know, maybe some softening in
people's enthusiasm for booting everybody out or that sort of thing,
and she made the point, and I think this is
absolutely true when it comes down to it, at the
end of the day, you get around to a predictionally
specifically the next presidential election, nobody's gonna care about the
(22:42):
methods that were used and the crying mom whose kid
just came here to go to school or whatever the hell.
They're just gonna see somebody did something about ilegal immigration
and we have way fewer legal immigrants the end, I'm
happy with that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
The whole process part will be lost. Nobody will remember that.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
This gets to what we were talking about last week
of If you go through historically, there's almost no examples
of big, giant Democratic Democrat demonstrations and revolts and things
like this, whether it's rioting or peaceful process whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Working to their benefit politically.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
There's like no example of that, including when Nixon's guard
shot a bunch of students on a college campus in
nineteen seventy and the left went wild, and songs were
written and movies were made, and Nixon won forty nine
states two years later. Because people don't like Mayhem. They
want it put down. The individual methods would would pull
(23:43):
horribly if you had pulled that. Do you think National
Guard troops should shoot constants? I mean, like ninety eight
to zero. You know, of course everybody hates that, but
I'm gonna vote for the guy who did it because
i want order, right, right, boy.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I have a very funny joke, but it's it hints
at political violence, and now is not the time, so
I'll pass on that. But the other principle I think
it work here is that the further you go directionally
in the right direction, like from wide open borders with
TDA and MS thirteen gang members flooding the country, Chinese nationals,
(24:21):
militant Muslims, God knows how long it'll take to reckon
with how many really dangerous people Joe Biden let into
this country.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Anyway, the further we.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Get from that, the more I think the American people
are willing to discuss the subtleties, like when the Biden
when the Biden border was wide open, everybody's like ship
them out, every single legal every single order to ship
them out, because it was such a crisis, it was
such a disaster where we were. We've moved the ball
(24:52):
way down the field now much further directionally toward control
of the borders and adherence to the law, and so
willing to say, Okay, let's talk about the law abiding
worker who's been here for ten years.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
So on that when you get down to that.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So why Friday Trump announced, Hey, I think guys should
be kicking out farm workers and people in restaurants. It's
just really interesting for Trump to say that. But I
do think you're right, that is an economic decision. I
don't think it was a political decision, because I think
there's still enough people on the side of illegals have
got to.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Go, and you know why, because that's the law.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I took in so much media coverage in Los Angeles
while I was driving through LA on Saturday with all
the protests going on and cops everywhere and lots of
roads closed off and there it was fine, nothing really happened.
There was such a giant police presence and National Guard
presence that things never really got out of hand. But
as listening to various other talk stations, not KABC where
(25:51):
we work, Nobody presented it from the side of you know,
the current law is you can't be here illegally. Doesn't
matter if you're a law biting nice guy who everybody
likes your kids at the high school.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
The law doesn't say that.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
So if you want the law to say, if you're
a nice guy and everybody likes your kids at the
high school, you don't have to go, then write that law.
But for now, you either have to be for enforcing
federal law or not. And if we're gonna decide that
now we don't enforce federal law, Okay, what other federal
law should we not enforce? If we're gonna go to
start with taxes, please just throwing it out there. I
(26:26):
can come up with several specific tax codes I'd like
to do away with. If we're just gonna decide, you
know what, we don't really need to enforce federal law.
How is that not the nut of the conversation? You know,
that's funny.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
I almost wish I'd spouted what I was thinking and
then you could have answered with that, because I was
about to express the other side of it, which is
we've sent the message in a hundred different ways. Come
to the country, get your paperwork, get a job, open
a bank account. You can even buy a house, and
nobody's gonna do anything about it. But a sort of
(27:02):
call it wishy washiness about enforcing the law. Some would
just call it realism.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
But that yields a situation where there's no pressure to
do what you were yelling about, to actually reform the
law and then enforce it, which is I mean, it
seems stupid to have to say this out loud. Having
laws and then enforcing them is the way a system
like ours should work. All the news coverage you take
(27:30):
in from the mainstream media or left leaning media seems
to work from an assumption that we're just not going
to follow federal law on this.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We're gonna have nobody does, nobody wants to.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
We're gonna have all kinds of workarounds and carbouts and
stuff that's all against federal law. Well, you can't operate
like that, obviously.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'm surprised that there aren't.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
There isn't more of an effort to, you know, vote
for Jim Jones for Congress because he believes this should
be the law.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Around immigration.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Right, I get a Congress that wants to pass laws
and say, you know what, if you've been here for
ten years and you've come into no crimes and everybody
lecture kids at the high school, we're not kicking you out,
and you get these workpapers, you become a citizen or whatever,
we're gonna do. Pay a fine if you like whatever. Sure, yeah, yeah,
I would agree. And that was the point I was
trying to make.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
I feel like we've moved directionally far enough in the correct,
the right direction that now people are willing to have
that conversation in a productive way. But I would suggest
to my conservative brethren there will never be probably a
better time than now to get a great deal. We've
(28:43):
got both houses barely and the White House. Now is
the time to pass serious immigration law. I'm not going
to use I'm not going to use the cre comprehensive
immaci R. I'm not going to use these are phrase
because it is so you know, stinky in many people's noses.
(29:05):
But we need serious reform of our immigration laws and
then enforce the damn things. I mean, it's again, it's
so obvious. I feel like I'm moron even saying it,
But here we are incredible that it never came up.
I don't know how many hours of.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Coverage I took in of talk radio on various stations
in Los Angeles and it never came up. You know,
they are here illegally. I mean, by federal law, they
should go. I don't care how nice a guy you
are or how long you've been here. By federal law,
you should have to go. That is as a starting place.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Of course, yes, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Nobody mentions that. All right, here's your final bitterly cynical note.
At least for me, if you were to assemble the
top one hundred Democrat fundraisers and top one hundred Republican
fundraisers in an arena and said, all right, show a hands,
true or falls, it would be a disaster. If serious
(30:03):
immigration reform passed for you raising money, every hand in
the place would shut up, but shoot up.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's the worst thing that could happen.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Maybe maybe one way to force Congress to actually move
would be to just start following the law. Maybe that'd
be one way to get Congress to move, and and
Trump should just say, over and over again, I'm following
the law. You're always complaining about me being a dictator
and not following the law.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
This is the law. What a beautiful idea. You ought
to be in charge. You're the new chief of staff. Congratulations,
you'll be missed around here The.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
Yeah, more Jack your Joe podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I guarantee I'm not the only person who's had this happen.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
They recommend that if hiring, well, practically anybody really, but
I'm hiring sitters in a college town tends to be
college girls. Everybody recommends check their social media to try
to get an idea, you know, whether or not you
you know, you check their references, you check their social media,
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, this has happened.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Multiple times where I'm hiring the college girl I meet
or she comes to my house dressed in normal clothes
and everything like that, like a normal person. And they
and in this case they've turned out to be incredibly responsible,
great everything you'd want sitters.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But I go to the social media and I see
them in.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Ways that I don't need to know that is there
there should be I don't know how you would do this.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
There should be some sort of social media.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
This is for the people who want to hire me
social media for the people that want to date me.
This is my social media, and there should be two
different versions. I don't like to see you in a
thong bikini with your back toward me bent over in
the pool, and then I have to agree with you.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Sorry, do you have those links? Joe stupid? Don't do that.
I'm not criticizing it. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
You're a twenty one year old girl. That's what you're
supposed to do with your life and whatever. I guess No, showing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Your naked ass is what you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 10 (32:18):
The fah, I have been a twenty one year old
girl and did not do that.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Well, some do, some don't, but again I'm not judging
that at all. Incredibly responsible and professionally dressed at my house.
I only know this because I went to the social media,
but that's what they recommend, and there was nothing on
there that was like a red flag in terms of
wanting to hire them or whatever, and all the reference
was good and they've been good, so I have no complaints. OK,
It's just I feel weird that I've seen your ass
(32:43):
just words me out that's on you, that says you've
said that sounds like you prom I think.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
This would make it more comfortable. Just casually bring it
up in conversations. So what about that picture? Yeah, confront
them with pictures. Yeah, I'd be like, so what is this?
Where were you? And why this is a Hey that
looks like a really cool beach. Where is that that?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's the way I do it. That's the way
I do it. That lamp, that lamp over there, Do
you have any idea where I would get that, because
that's a cool lamp.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, that would fit in beautifully. Here you can see
like an inch of the beach. It's just all ask
was that this sand looks very nice and solid. Yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Not everybody goes that far, but it's fairly common though.
I mean, I've had quite a few sitters over the
last five years. It's pretty damn common. Certainly a bikini
shot that's almost guaranteed, almost guaranteed you're gonna see them
in a bikini, And well, I.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Find that weird.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
My dad never saw any of We had like two
babysitters my whole life. But I guarantee them. My dad
never saw pictures of them in a bikini.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, you know, I have been on beaches, both coasts,
various lakes, Tahoe, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And yeah, that's sort.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Of where the tiny bikini, the butt floss whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Is fairly common. Oh yeah, I wouldn't make a big
deal of that.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I didn't, and I'm not. I just think it's weird
that I've seen this. I wish there was a way
I could not.
Speaker 10 (34:05):
I think wearing the bikini versus taking a photo of
yourself in it and putting it on the internet is
two very different.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
We have, Katie, let me let me step in here, please,
We have a society that overvalues the woman's physical form,
and so young women get the idea that that's an
important measure of their womanhood. And if they happen to
be like what's the term, crazy hot and in the
best shape they'll ever be in in their lives, they
(34:35):
might want to, you know, display that little.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
You're blaming the patriarchy, I am. I am quite quite so.
Speaker 10 (34:41):
Yes, Yeah, yeah, I mean I'd like you'll see it
overthrown guilty as charged. There may be a bikini or
two photos out there of you. Yeah, but I was
twenty one and I'm never gonna look like that again.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
So exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Well, like I said, I'm not condemning it. It just
seems like, well, it's an interaction that didn't used to exist,
but between employer employee when it comes to hiring a sitter,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I have another question.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
Is it a photo with intention to be provocative? Or
is this just like she was on the beach with
her friends.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Hey, we're I'd say it's more of the latter than
the former. You can't help but be provocative. If you're
hot in a pong Yeah, I mean, it's just no
matter what you're doing provoking disease. You could be pilling
out your taxes. It's still kind of provocative. Actually, that's
double hot to me. Wait a minute, you look like
that and you're good at doing taxes. Here's a ring.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Just think about it.
Speaker 3 (35:42):

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Arm Strong, and Jackie and he Armstrong and Caddy Strong.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
So it's graduation season, and particularly around colleges, it's the
time of the year where self important liberals get invited
to major universities to give speeches and then the media
covers them like a news event because they're saying the
sort of thing that most of the media agrees with.
(00:48):
That's what happens well described. There are you know, people
who lean right that go to colleges that lean right,
the few that are, but they never make get any
news coverage, so you don't hear about them, including the
president instance. But here Joe mentioned this last week, I've
seen this starting to burble up and get more attention.
(01:08):
Where was which university? Was he speaking at North Carolina
Wake Forest? Wake Forest in South Carolina, Carolina? I thought
Wake Force was South Carolina and not unless it's moved, Okay, it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's you know, it's it's your your it's your major
figure of the left giving a lefty speech. But he
went over the top and one of the reasons it's
so remarkable is he's on one of the most important
news programs in the world, Sixty Minutes, which allegedly is
trying to be you know, a nonpartisan, hit it down
(01:47):
the middle sort of coverage, or at the very least fair,
just be fair, and a guy with this point of
view can't be doing that. This is Scott Pelley speaking
to college graduates.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can
make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the
definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity
(02:22):
is now described as illegal, Equity is to be shunned.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Inclusion is a dirty word.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
This is an old playbook, my friends, there's nothing new
in this.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
We have another clip that I'm tempted to play. It's
all about the fear, be very afraid, We're all in
grave danger. Goes on and on, But that one really
caught my ear because he claimed that the center and
the right are trying to change the defaults of words,
or say that they're no longer acceptable diversity, equity, and inclusion,
(03:06):
which we all know exactly what they mean, and we
all know they're wonderful. Those sickos on the right are
trying to change what they mean, which is just unbelievable. Diversity, equity,
and inclusion coming out of the mouths of a leftists
mean nothing like you think they mean. It is a
tool of capturing institutions.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Right man.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The left is so good at this game, and they
get to pull it off with the help of the
complying to media. It's like what I was listening to
an on NPR today. They were discussing how Trump is
trying to change the way we teach history in America
and all the things he's attacking. Well, you put it
in there. What do y'all lead within the last ten years?
What they teach in schools is not the same as
(03:48):
what they taught in schools when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You put stuff in there that a lot of us
don't like.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
When Trump tries to take it out, that's not rewriting history.
You rewrote history. He's trying to write it back to
what it was before. Sixty minutes anchor Scott Pelly ripped
for angry, unhinged commencement speech criticizing Trump. Now, that's the
New York Post's headline on that. Their version of it
but angry and unhinged is not far off. He said
(04:15):
that the uh we should all be worried about the
insidious sphere that has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across
the nation, leaving America in a state of peril. The
country needs you. The country that has given you so
much is calling you, the class of twenty twenty five.
Your country needs you, and it needs you today the morning.
(04:37):
Our sacred rule of law. This morning, our sacred rule
of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack, universities
are under attack, freedom of speech is under attack, and
insidious fear is reaching throughout the schools and into our
private thoughts. All right, boy, that is just absolutely classic.
You spend all of your time and your career convincing
(05:01):
people they need to be terrified, when there's like two
thirds of the country that's not at all, I mean,
from mildly concerned to very interested. But no, we're not
being torn apart by insidious.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Fear at all.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Scott, and the part right before that little clip about
power that we just played you the fear to speak
in America. If our government is in Lincoln's phrase, of
the people, by the people, for the people.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Then why are we afraid to speak? What the effort
you talk about? Don't know?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I assume he's referencing that Columbia student that got snatched
up on the campus and that you were literally speaking
about how you're afraid to speak. Do you see the
irony there, Scott? Do I see the irony there?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Now, the New York Post says the speech was received
with scattered, scant applause.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's the New York Post version. I don't know. I
haven't actually listened.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
They might say that, and that might not be true,
or it may be true, and it might be because
everybody's barely paying attention and they just want to get
out of there on a hot day. How long is
this going to last? As opposed to not enjoying what
he had to say, but that that is, that is
that is just craziness. It is just craziness.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yeah, I love the It reminds me so much of
when Komy braced the president so then he could lake
that leak that the president has.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Been briefed on this Steele dossier.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Well, so Scott Pelley and his brethren preached being terrified
and in fear all the time, and then he goes
to the graduation ceremony and breathlessly reports and everybody's really afraid.
There's fear, in citious fear going on. Yeah, I wonder
where that in citious fear came from. It's the roughly
third of the country that listens to you and beliefs
(06:48):
your crap. Don't don't terrify them, then report that they're
terrified and act as.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
If somebody else did it.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, And as he stands up in front of a
bunch of university kids and said, now is the moment
your nation is calling on you.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
With all the fear to speak out.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, the fear to speak out for the past quite
a while has been from anybody to the right on
any college campus because you'll be a physically attacked and
the university will do nothing about it. As long as
you as long as you speak progressive stuff, you're safe.
You speak anything the other side, you're physically not safe.
But you didn't care about that fear to speak out aspect,
(07:25):
did you, Scott Pelly?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You Pampus asked, not for a second, did you worry
about that?
Speaker 5 (07:29):
And just to double down on what you're saying, And
it wasn't like the right half of ideology that was
afraid to speak out.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It was the right eighty percent.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Anything outside of the most radical leftism had to keep
its mouth shut on college campuses. And now Scott Pelley's
preaching that people are afraid to speak out.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, oh my god, he is a piece of ass.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is
reaching throughout our school, our businesses, our homes, and into
our private thoughts.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What are you hands show a hans who's.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Got insidious fear going in their business because they're afraid
to speak or whatever. Now, maybe the tariffs have got
you upset. I'll grant you that. Well, I'll tell you
what that is. I'll tell you what that's driving that is.
He believes diversity, equity and quality inequality means diversity, equity, inequality,
that they mean those words, inclusion mean those words and
(08:26):
not what they've twisted them to mean. And it's so
that's what he's basing it on. So he is the
useful idiot. He is the big, famous, pompous, useful idiot
who doesn't understand neomarxism. He just he thinks it's a
moral ark. Well, I'll move on from this because we
don't need to belabor it forever. But do you think
do you think he doesn't know that college campuses are
(08:47):
not a safe space? I hate that term for anybody
to you know, on the right eighty percent? As you said, right, Yeah,
does he not ignore us?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I don't think he's a knowledgeable, insidious activist. I think
he is a pompous, rich, famous idiot, probably with big guns.
Oh hey, tight shirts. Your shirt shrank in the dryer
or something. It's very tight, very impressive for an older man.
I'm very impressive for an older man. Yes, you pompous pos.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
See Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Who's your favorite Simpsons character? Here's might be progressive economist
Robert Reisch.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wait what.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
The decline of unions, rampant corporate greed, Wall Street mouthpeesians,
and the rise of short sighted politics all contributed to
increased economic inequality, widespread real unemployment wage, that nation had
a lower standard of living for millions of Americans.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, that's from the most recent episode of The Simpsons,
which I understand. I mean they've thrown in random people
over the years and kind of funny ways. Oh my god,
it's so and so. But this was part of an
overall episode in which they were explaining on how the
middle classes getting screwed has gone away back in the fifties.
I mean they even they talk about this. Well, I
(10:26):
don't want to steal all of this. Here's a little
bit of Alisa Simpson talking about it.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
All right, thanks for the history lesson nerds, But what.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Does any of this have to do with me?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
You see, my dad's still working and I want to
be just like him.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
There's something else you need to learn, and my friend
here is happy to teach you.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Ough you for.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Days, you've been dying to say something, Just spill it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You want to count like that? Too bad?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
So sad they'll never had the life of flaming ant.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
What can he do that a robot can't do that
nuclear plant?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Yo?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I need is a foot in.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
The door, and I'll take dance job, winning down the
boarding car job usday man needs a PhD. Walk Kingston
comes leaves you and poverty. Don't clean your car, gosy house,
no hot Dennis, good fire, stay at homes pass You're
done a feuchery Coolerance sage, and you'll still have to
choose between health care and rent.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
We'll probably just buy a play station six. You're my
day pass. Don't read by your skateboard.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
You'll grow up.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You'll still have to choose between healthcare and rent. From
The Simpsons, Wow, talking about how they get into it.
I remember that song or some other part of the episode.
A lot of it's a musical about out in the fifties.
You could have a house and and uh and raise
kids and go to college and do all the things
you wanted on one salary, and now everybody has to
(11:47):
work and you can't get ahead and blah blah blah
blah blah. And then Robert Reich comes on. He was
the Obama's economic guy in Clinton's and he's a super
lefty anyway, he'd seriously be.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
More comfortable in Venezuela in the United States.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Actually had all these charts that they were using on
The Simpsons about how wages haven't increased, of course, completely
leaving out the transfer payments of taxpayer money that are included.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Blah blah blah, that sort of stuff. I don't want
to get off on that.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's just unbelievable that the Simpsons did an episode that
was like practically void of humor and just about economics
all from one side. And then at the end, and
if you already saw the episode, you know this. At
the end of the janitor character who's trying to explain
(12:37):
how awful America is in the incoming equality to Bart says,
Bart says, basically, what can anybody do at this point?
All we can do is burn it down. Bart says, cool,
and he gets out his lighter and he goes to
start a fire, and the janitor says, no, that's a metaphor.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean burn the system down. And that's the end
of the show.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Wow, the Simpsons, the Services burned the system down the end.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Holy crap. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Jeesus, I'd say that, wow, Wow, Wow. I felt like
the politic The Simpsons were mostly non political for most.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Of their years.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Then there was some you know, like you're gonna get
out of anything on TV, you know, some of this
or that. But I mean, they made as many jokes
about Bill Clinton certainly as they made about George Bush
way back in the day. But this this was just
I mean, it was beyond anything I've ever seen on
any supposed entertainment show. Ever. Wow, I've got to watch that.
(13:43):
Is it possible? I mean putting us at how outrageous
and dishonest it is. And you know again, I'd like
to get off on the economic arguments because they're almost
entirely false. But The Simpsons has already been has always
been written from the point of view of like, if
there's a continuum of like radical Marxist to ultra conservative,
(14:06):
their writers have always been like thirty three percent like
liberal but moderate, sane liberal, sure, which is what I
expect out of all my sitcums.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Misfit Hollywood types who write jokes for living right. Is
it possible that a third of the way on the
continuum is now ultra woke, neo Marxist because of the
hard swing left of the left.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I was watching this episode with my kids, which they
didn't find entertaining at all.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
They wanted to turn it off.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Because it just wasn't interesting to them a bunch of
economic statistics, but.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I wanted to see the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I was just thinking, the writers must have decided, you
know what we have, We have the power to get
this message out and let's let's let's do it.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Let's take one episode and do it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
That's all I could think, because they seem to a
banded in the idea of.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
The show was a car certainment, entertainment of cartoon sitcom.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Really weird though.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And to the point of burning down the system is
the only thing you can.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Do neo Marxism. Wow.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Well that the producers in Brass had to approve that too.
I mean, the executive producers are aware of what the
episodes are, or at least the you know, the producers.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
These are such weird times. And why it's so ridiculous
by the way that people tag the Fox Television network
with the same view that they have about Sean Hannity.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I mean, come on Fox News. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
know what, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
There's so many like obvious truths that we talk about
on this show that you almost never hear anywhere else.
In the top five or ten is certainly that yes,
those wonderful manufacturing jobs where you could wander out of
high school across the street to the Ford Motor Plant
or whatever, make a nice middle class income by a house,
a car in the suburbs.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Blah blah blah, real with your frist. Europe was decimated
by World War Two and wasn't manufacturing anything but buildings,
so they would have roofs over their heads. And in
Asia was to a large extent either pre industrial or
decimated by.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
World War Two. So yes, we made the cars and
the toasters of the world.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Everybody else was rolling around in rubble trying to find
their loved ones who died. That's close to word to
word what I said to my kids on a unfortunate
Saturday afternoon for them when they just wanted to watch
The Simpsons, because I was explaining that to him, and
I also said it the whole you used to be
able to have a house in a car and send
your kids at college on one income. I said, you
know those houses were looking at because we're looking at
(16:50):
houses that are way too small for us.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's the size house everybody.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Used to live in on their one income, and everybody,
including the family I grew up in, had one car,
so it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Was quite different light style.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Well, in the idea of country X, exporting toasters around
the globe was utterly impractical for various logistical reasons.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Now it's quite practical.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
You could have a big giant toaster plant in India
and cell your toasters around the world in a way
that was never possible in the fifties and sixties.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's the most it's the name of the episode is
called Poorhouse Rock.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I think it's the most recent episode that the Simpsons
have put out. Well, not very funny. The Armstrong and
Getty show.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, your Joe podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
In Los Angeles police breaking up crowns what appears.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
To be the police called Leslieth, but.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
The large majority of the more than two thousand nationwide
so called no Kings events taking place without incident.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Well, that's true, it's great, that's true.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
But that was a fair amount of Mayhem that you
just played for us, you know what I'm reminding you,
kind of YadA YadA YadA, the Mayhem.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Right exactly Mayhem and these eleven cities, But mostly it
was peaceful. It reminds me very much of the discussion,
particularly about a decade ago, about moderate Muslims.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, no, sixty seven percent of Muslims don't want to
kill all the Jews and infidels and take over the world. Well,
those folks are irrelevant to the discussion. There are plenty
who do want to do all those horrible, unspeakable things
and or set fire to cities and bash cops heads
in plenty.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's who we're talking about. Right.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
If I'm a cop and that one guy has thrown
chunks of cement at my head, I'm really interested in that, dude,
even if there are a thousand people over there peaceful.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Right, two major things happened, and then we will discuss.
Because you're busy with your life and your weekend, you
shouldn't even know this because you're in normal person and
you had summertime stuff to do, which I actually did do.
But Trump Friday ordered immigration customs enforcement better known as
ICE officers. On Friday, he ordered them to stop conducting
(19:16):
raids and arrests on farms, restaurants, and hotels agricultural meatpacking plants.
Several news outlets reported the decision reportedly came directly from
the President. Our great farmers and people in the hotel
and leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive
policy and immigration is taking very good, longtime workers away
(19:36):
from him. Those whose job as being almost impossible to replace.
This is one of those deals where Trump comments on
the news of the day like he's.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
A bystander, right, which is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
But so you know, the conversation had turned late in
the week last week toward you rounded up all the people.
You're showing up at farms and rounding up people have
been there for years? Is that what we want to do?
Blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, fine, so there's that.
We'll get back to that in a second. But then
yesterday Trump in like a tolstoying length tweet from this
(20:10):
from his outlet thingy, and I'll just read one sentence
of it because it's very, very very long. ICE officers
are herewith ordered by notice of this truth.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
So I like that the policy comes out this way.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
ICE officers are here with ordered by notice of this truth,
to do all in their power to achieve the very
important goal of delivering the single largest mass deportation program
in history.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And then he goes through all kinds of details and everything.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
What's your gut reaction to those two announcements. I do
kind of like the quasi constitutional verbiage of by here
by declare according to my article seven powers under truth
social anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Sorry, So what's your gut reaction of the ab there?
I don't know. Well, I.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Have one go ahead, I have an overarching theme about
all of this, But I don't I don't know. I
don't know what was going on with why he reacted
the way he did Friday, And was he backing off
that yesterday or is he is?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
A The announcement about hey, we're backing off farms and
hotels and restaurants and meat packing plants and the rest
of it. In short, workplace raise was a realistic reaction
to huge sectors of the economy saying whoa WHOA. B
(21:38):
was talking to the base, the hardcore, deport everybody base
and Stephen Miller that part of the administration saying hey,
I'm still on your team.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I still got your back.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So was one was behind the scenes and one was
more pr So I heard something damn interesting over the
week in that I think.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Is true, so I will repeat it here.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Sarah Isger of the Dispatch who she has been involved
in several presidential campaigns and understands issue polling about as
well as anybody, And I love the way She's always
described that issue polling is practically worthless for all kinds
of different reasons.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
But they were.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Discussing the polls showing, you know, maybe some softening in
people's enthusiasm for booting everybody out or that sort of thing,
and she made the point, and I think this is
absolutely true when it comes down to it, at the
end of the day, you get around to a predictionally
specifically the next presidential election, nobody's gonna care about the
(22:42):
methods that were used and the crying mom whose kid
just came here to go to school or whatever the hell.
They're just gonna see somebody did something about ilegal immigration
and we have way fewer legal immigrants the end, I'm
happy with that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
The whole process part will be lost. Nobody will remember that.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
This gets to what we were talking about last week
of If you go through historically, there's almost no examples
of big, giant Democratic Democrat demonstrations and revolts and things
like this, whether it's rioting or peaceful process whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Working to their benefit politically.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
There's like no example of that, including when Nixon's guard
shot a bunch of students on a college campus in
nineteen seventy and the left went wild, and songs were
written and movies were made, and Nixon won forty nine
states two years later. Because people don't like Mayhem. They
want it put down. The individual methods would would pull
(23:43):
horribly if you had pulled that. Do you think National
Guard troops should shoot constants? I mean, like ninety eight
to zero. You know, of course everybody hates that, but
I'm gonna vote for the guy who did it because
i want order, right, right, boy.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I have a very funny joke, but it's it hints
at political violence, and now is not the time, so
I'll pass on that. But the other principle I think
it work here is that the further you go directionally
in the right direction, like from wide open borders with
TDA and MS thirteen gang members flooding the country, Chinese nationals,
(24:21):
militant Muslims, God knows how long it'll take to reckon
with how many really dangerous people Joe Biden let into
this country.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Anyway, the further we.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Get from that, the more I think the American people
are willing to discuss the subtleties, like when the Biden
when the Biden border was wide open, everybody's like ship
them out, every single legal every single order to ship
them out, because it was such a crisis, it was
such a disaster where we were. We've moved the ball
(24:52):
way down the field now much further directionally toward control
of the borders and adherence to the law, and so
willing to say, Okay, let's talk about the law abiding
worker who's been here for ten years.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
So on that when you get down to that.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So why Friday Trump announced, Hey, I think guys should
be kicking out farm workers and people in restaurants. It's
just really interesting for Trump to say that. But I
do think you're right, that is an economic decision. I
don't think it was a political decision, because I think
there's still enough people on the side of illegals have
got to.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Go, and you know why, because that's the law.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I took in so much media coverage in Los Angeles
while I was driving through LA on Saturday with all
the protests going on and cops everywhere and lots of
roads closed off and there it was fine, nothing really happened.
There was such a giant police presence and National Guard
presence that things never really got out of hand. But
as listening to various other talk stations, not KABC where
(25:51):
we work, Nobody presented it from the side of you know,
the current law is you can't be here illegally. Doesn't
matter if you're a law biting nice guy who everybody
likes your kids at the high school.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
The law doesn't say that.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
So if you want the law to say, if you're
a nice guy and everybody likes your kids at the
high school, you don't have to go, then write that law.
But for now, you either have to be for enforcing
federal law or not. And if we're gonna decide that
now we don't enforce federal law, Okay, what other federal
law should we not enforce? If we're gonna go to
start with taxes, please just throwing it out there. I
(26:26):
can come up with several specific tax codes I'd like
to do away with. If we're just gonna decide, you
know what, we don't really need to enforce federal law.
How is that not the nut of the conversation? You know,
that's funny.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
I almost wish I'd spouted what I was thinking and
then you could have answered with that, because I was
about to express the other side of it, which is
we've sent the message in a hundred different ways. Come
to the country, get your paperwork, get a job, open
a bank account. You can even buy a house, and
nobody's gonna do anything about it. But a sort of
(27:02):
call it wishy washiness about enforcing the law. Some would
just call it realism.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
But that yields a situation where there's no pressure to
do what you were yelling about, to actually reform the
law and then enforce it, which is I mean, it
seems stupid to have to say this out loud. Having
laws and then enforcing them is the way a system
like ours should work. All the news coverage you take
(27:30):
in from the mainstream media or left leaning media seems
to work from an assumption that we're just not going
to follow federal law on this.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We're gonna have nobody does, nobody wants to.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
We're gonna have all kinds of workarounds and carbouts and
stuff that's all against federal law. Well, you can't operate
like that, obviously.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'm surprised that there aren't.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
There isn't more of an effort to, you know, vote
for Jim Jones for Congress because he believes this should
be the law.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Around immigration.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Right, I get a Congress that wants to pass laws
and say, you know what, if you've been here for
ten years and you've come into no crimes and everybody
lecture kids at the high school, we're not kicking you out,
and you get these workpapers, you become a citizen or whatever,
we're gonna do. Pay a fine if you like whatever. Sure, yeah, yeah,
I would agree. And that was the point I was
trying to make.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
I feel like we've moved directionally far enough in the correct,
the right direction that now people are willing to have
that conversation in a productive way. But I would suggest
to my conservative brethren there will never be probably a
better time than now to get a great deal. We've
(28:43):
got both houses barely and the White House. Now is
the time to pass serious immigration law. I'm not going
to use I'm not going to use the cre comprehensive
immaci R. I'm not going to use these are phrase
because it is so you know, stinky in many people's noses.
(29:05):
But we need serious reform of our immigration laws and
then enforce the damn things. I mean, it's again, it's
so obvious. I feel like I'm moron even saying it,
But here we are incredible that it never came up.
I don't know how many hours of.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Coverage I took in of talk radio on various stations
in Los Angeles and it never came up. You know,
they are here illegally. I mean, by federal law, they
should go. I don't care how nice a guy you
are or how long you've been here. By federal law,
you should have to go. That is as a starting place.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Of course, yes, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Nobody mentions that. All right, here's your final bitterly cynical note.
At least for me, if you were to assemble the
top one hundred Democrat fundraisers and top one hundred Republican
fundraisers in an arena and said, all right, show a hands,
true or falls, it would be a disaster. If serious
(30:03):
immigration reform passed for you raising money, every hand in
the place would shut up, but shoot up.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's the worst thing that could happen.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Maybe maybe one way to force Congress to actually move
would be to just start following the law. Maybe that'd
be one way to get Congress to move, and and
Trump should just say, over and over again, I'm following
the law. You're always complaining about me being a dictator
and not following the law.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
This is the law. What a beautiful idea. You ought
to be in charge. You're the new chief of staff. Congratulations,
you'll be missed around here The.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
Yeah, more Jack your Joe podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I guarantee I'm not the only person who's had this happen.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
They recommend that if hiring, well, practically anybody really, but
I'm hiring sitters in a college town tends to be
college girls. Everybody recommends check their social media to try
to get an idea, you know, whether or not you
you know, you check their references, you check their social media,
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, this has happened.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Multiple times where I'm hiring the college girl I meet
or she comes to my house dressed in normal clothes
and everything like that, like a normal person. And they
and in this case they've turned out to be incredibly responsible,
great everything you'd want sitters.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But I go to the social media and I see
them in.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Ways that I don't need to know that is there
there should be I don't know how you would do this.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
There should be some sort of social media.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
This is for the people who want to hire me
social media for the people that want to date me.
This is my social media, and there should be two
different versions. I don't like to see you in a
thong bikini with your back toward me bent over in
the pool, and then I have to agree with you.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Sorry, do you have those links? Joe stupid? Don't do that.
I'm not criticizing it. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
You're a twenty one year old girl. That's what you're
supposed to do with your life and whatever. I guess No, showing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Your naked ass is what you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 10 (32:18):
The fah, I have been a twenty one year old
girl and did not do that.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Well, some do, some don't, but again I'm not judging
that at all. Incredibly responsible and professionally dressed at my house.
I only know this because I went to the social media,
but that's what they recommend, and there was nothing on
there that was like a red flag in terms of
wanting to hire them or whatever, and all the reference
was good and they've been good, so I have no complaints. OK,
It's just I feel weird that I've seen your ass
(32:43):
just words me out that's on you, that says you've
said that sounds like you prom I think.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
This would make it more comfortable. Just casually bring it
up in conversations. So what about that picture? Yeah, confront
them with pictures. Yeah, I'd be like, so what is this?
Where were you? And why this is a Hey that
looks like a really cool beach. Where is that that?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's the way I do it. That's the way
I do it. That lamp, that lamp over there, Do
you have any idea where I would get that, because
that's a cool lamp.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, that would fit in beautifully. Here you can see
like an inch of the beach. It's just all ask
was that this sand looks very nice and solid. Yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Not everybody goes that far, but it's fairly common though.
I mean, I've had quite a few sitters over the
last five years. It's pretty damn common. Certainly a bikini
shot that's almost guaranteed, almost guaranteed you're gonna see them
in a bikini, And well, I.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Find that weird.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
My dad never saw any of We had like two
babysitters my whole life. But I guarantee them. My dad
never saw pictures of them in a bikini.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, you know, I have been on beaches, both coasts,
various lakes, Tahoe, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And yeah, that's sort.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Of where the tiny bikini, the butt floss whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Is fairly common. Oh yeah, I wouldn't make a big
deal of that.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I didn't, and I'm not. I just think it's weird
that I've seen this. I wish there was a way
I could not.
Speaker 10 (34:05):
I think wearing the bikini versus taking a photo of
yourself in it and putting it on the internet is
two very different.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
We have, Katie, let me let me step in here, please,
We have a society that overvalues the woman's physical form,
and so young women get the idea that that's an
important measure of their womanhood. And if they happen to
be like what's the term, crazy hot and in the
best shape they'll ever be in in their lives, they
(34:35):
might want to, you know, display that little.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
You're blaming the patriarchy, I am. I am quite quite so.
Speaker 10 (34:41):
Yes, Yeah, yeah, I mean I'd like you'll see it
overthrown guilty as charged. There may be a bikini or
two photos out there of you. Yeah, but I was
twenty one and I'm never gonna look like that again.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
So exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Well, like I said, I'm not condemning it. It just
seems like, well, it's an interaction that didn't used to exist,
but between employer employee when it comes to hiring a sitter,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I have another question.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
Is it a photo with intention to be provocative? Or
is this just like she was on the beach with
her friends.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Hey, we're I'd say it's more of the latter than
the former. You can't help but be provocative. If you're
hot in a pong Yeah, I mean, it's just no
matter what you're doing provoking disease. You could be pilling
out your taxes. It's still kind of provocative. Actually, that's
double hot to me. Wait a minute, you look like
that and you're good at doing taxes. Here's a ring.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
