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 getting and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
With cities across the US bracing for sweeping deportation raids
as promised by President elect Trump during his campaign, his
administration says it's rethinking where to launch the large scale crackdowns,
sources initially telling ABC News the raids would begin right
after the inauguration, likely in Chicago and then other big
(00:45):
sanctuary cities. The operations involving high priority criminal targets that
DHS teams have been.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Investigating for months.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
In Mexico, immigration officials ramping up sheltered capacity, bracing for
an influx of deepoort teas that could create chaos.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh oh, oh jeez, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I'm sorry, Mexico. That'd be horrible if you had chaos
having a bunch of criminals return to your country. I
guess that's something I'm supposed to be concerned about. Are
you freaking kidding me? This is part of the revolution
of common sense that begins at noon today. Yeah, Trump's
calling it, and this actually is a revolution of common sense.
(01:25):
And we'll get to some of the polling the New
York Times right over the weekend around the immigration stuff.
Ninety percent of Americans think we should return illegal criminals
ninety percent.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's not controversial.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Ah oh no, no, it's as close to unanimous as
you can get on any question. Would you like to
be jabbed in the eye? Ten percent of Americans and say, yeah,
that sounds great. This is absolutely functionally unanimous. Ship the
criminals out right, and they're gonna start that like immediately.
And as you heard in that ABC ree there, the
(02:01):
Justice Department has been working on the paperwork in this
stuff for a long time, so they know they've got
these people identified, they know what they did. It was
only the Biden policies that kept it well. And you're
stupid allowing cities and states to be sanctuaries. Just didn't
send it a revolution of common sense. And as we know, Jack,
(02:22):
things are three point four percent or three point four
times more popular if they spell out a word, and
Revolution of common sense spells out rocks.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh wow, it does rocks. Rocks, That's what I say.
Huh cool, all right, made my point.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I tell you what, between being out six hundred thousand
criminals and renaming the gulf.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's a good day. Yes, it's gonna walk around and.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Saying, hey, you know what I do for vacation this summer.
Let's go to the Gulf of Is it America? Let's
go to the Gulf of America in the summer. See
the ocean.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I love you, I love it. Why not, it's our golf. Absolutely,
President of Mexico with her wives cracking. We'll show her.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Huh, We'll rename the golf. And it's not even their golf.
They have a female president, Yes they do. Wow. Yes,
isn't that funny? Ah?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
So, speaking of funny, how about this bit of inauguration
trip Michael, do we have like hail to the chief
or something that we can know? There you go, this
inauguration trivia. When Andrew Johnson piece of Crap, was inaugurated
as vice president in eighteen sixty five, he was completely drunk.
He'd been suffering from typhoid fever at the time and
(03:36):
purportedly drank whiskey to numb the pain, except he drank.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
A little too much and ended up slurring through his oaths.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
In fact, a contemporary newspaper account of the time jack
I'm gonna read it to you. The headline is the
Inaugural humiliation. Andrew Johnson, the Vice President elect, presented himself
drunk at the great Inauguration ceremony and the presence of
the assembled Executive and Judicial Departments, blah blah blah, the representatives.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Of the people. Before that imposing.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Concourse, he bellowed for half an hour, the idiotic babble
of a mind besotted by a fortnight's debouch.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh, that should have happened in the area the era
of video and stuff, because that had been great.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, that's some good writing.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
He dragged its proudest ceremony into the slough is the
slew of his degradation, and turned it to shame and mortification. Man,
you hate to drag his speech into the old sod
slew a degradation.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Trump needs to avoid that today, Jackie.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
In my estimation, no kidding, Trump becomes president at noon today.
I assume you know that, and Joe Biden is running
out the door pardoning a bunch of people. So we
need to discuss that a little bit later. Some of
the executive orders, as we said, are around immigration. We'll
get to people's opinions on that later this hour. Great
(04:56):
article from the New York Times basically pointing out, hey,
a lot of these Trump policies are really really popular.
That's probably why. One it's funny that they're finally getting
around to this.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Wow, what am I supposed to say thank you? Or
what great insight?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Or I don't know, ivey, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, the bigfoot media are committing a medium speed suicide,
and I say let them.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I had a number of teenagers in my home over
the weekend as my son had a sleepover with a
couple of his buddies there, and it was a big
story for them for his friends that TikTok was off
when they got up on Sunday morning.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They noticed right away because that's like.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The first thing they do is go to their phone
and go to TikTok in the morning, and it wasn't
available because TikTok shut themselves down over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now, my son doesn't.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Have TikTok, and he constantly complains that his friends do.
But I became aware that his friends are super into it,
and one of them that's how he gets to sleep
at night. He goes to sleep scrolling through TikTok until
he falls and then he wakes up. His phone is
still on TikTok when he wakes up.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Wow, And that interesting, which is you know, if you
take him take that away. Obviously that's a bit of
a dependency thing. It would take a while to get
past that.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And between them and conversations with my nieces who are
all colleague age or older, none of them with any
knowledge slash concern about the fact that the communist Chinese
run the thing. That's just not on their radar.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
At that age, or they reject the notion as you
told us last week. Yeah, call it a conspiracy theory.
I think I know what Trump is doing. He has
said he would issue an executive order to reinstate TikTok
for the ninety days that the law gives it. I
think if there is a a negotiation for the sale
(06:51):
of it in progress, which is not really happening. So
it's not clear at all whether Trump can, you know,
bring it back to life for ninety days. Is that constitutional?
Is it legal? Judging by what I've read, it's not
And I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Not constitutional or illegal.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
It's it's not legal because Congress passed the law and
the law is quite specific on its terms, and presidents
just can't overturn laws by fiat. Trust me, you don't
want that, no matter how much you like Trump or not.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Especially votes that went fifty zero coming out of the
Big Committee on that in Congress, and then when the
Supreme Court looked at the you know, delaying this thing,
they were nine to nothing. You don't want presidents to
go around that. So I'm trying to figure out what
Trump is doing. Number One, he made a couple of
comics before. What's that He's a populist people. There's one
(07:47):
hundred and seventy million people that love TikTok. He's getting credit.
It was on the TikTok TikTok's own screenshot that they
put out said they're working with Donald Trump and then
basically gave Donald Trump the credit for it. Coming back
on that's what he's doing here, popular with young people.
I want to circle back to that, because that's I'm
aghast at that.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I'm hoping it's that Trump fancies himself the greatest deal
maker on earth, and he thinks he can work out
a sale if he brokers it in a way that
satisfies the law and TikTok TikTok users. If that is
simply his somewhat egotistical point of view, then I say
let him try. It's fine. We'll be rid of it
soon enough. But if it's what you're talking about, if
(08:30):
Trump is saying as he seemed to be hitting, look,
it helped get me elected. I'm big on TikTok. Yeah,
it's a tool of espionage and propaganda by our most
bitter enemy on earth. But if it helps me, I'm
gonna leave it that. I can't take that.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Uh yeah, Well, and.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Trump himself was the guy who hammered away to get
TikTok banned his first term.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, he got this going for good. Fun fact Charles C. W.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Cook tweeted out fun fact after viewing classified material about
the Communist Chinese Party's influence on TikTok. The bill to
ban TikTok past committee with a fifty to nothing vote
among the congress people who had looked at the info,
fifty to zero that included lots of Maga, lots of Centrists,
and lots of Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It was unanimous. That's how it was.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Sound.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
As we shared with you last week, Peter Schweitzer doing
some great writing if you look at those quotes, some classified,
some not, from various Chinese military leaders, propagandist political leaders.
They love TikTok and they said specifically why because it's
such an effective propaganda tool to get inside the heads
of America's youngsters and subtly nudge them toward pro Chinese views.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, this tweet continues.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Banning a CCP espionage and propaganda app was obviously the
correct decision. Even Laura Ingram, who's pretty big, trumpy person, said,
is it now our position that the CCP has a
First Amendment right to control the propaganda vehicle inside the
US that poses a severe national security thread? Even she
is not cool with the allowing TikTok to continue in
(10:15):
its current form at all.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
For a minute, it shouldn't right.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I had one more thought on that blah blah blah
TikTok Chinese Party. Everybody voted, I don't I'll come back.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
TikTok, because it's controlled by the communist Chinese who are
desperate to have it continue, TikTok is going to be
just absolutely a wash in flattery of Donald Trump. Now, Oh,
and effort to manipulate his ego, and I just I'm sorry.
We'll continue to call it the way we see it
around here. If when Trump's right, we're going to say
he's right. When he's wrong, we're going to say he's wrong.
(10:46):
If that doesn't satisfy, ye, well let us part his friends.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I think Trump just wants to make sure if TikTok
goes away, it has the look of it was dragged
away against his wishes. I think that's just how he
wants to end up.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I'm not comfortable with that either, but I get
that strategy.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So that's where we are on that. It's kind of
hard for me to get into the whole. TikTok gets
a tremendous amount of attention. It was the lead on
all the Sunday shows yesterday because it, you know, had
been taken down. So Facination ABC this week, Meet the Press,
they were all it was their lead thing. And I
I don't have TikTok. I've never been on it. Seeing
(11:28):
my son's friends, so I mean, like the first thing
they noticed when they got up in.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The morning was their TikTok was gone. Yeah, that's interesting. Well,
do you know what code switching is? You can google.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
It has to do with patterns of speech. I need
to change my pattern of speech right now to talk
in my compassionate, progressive manner, because speaking like a man
frightens many progressives.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So excuse me.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Psychology experts, thin therapists are suggesting a variety of activities
to help you with your emotional turmoil on this the
inauguration day of Donald Trump. So we'll have some hints
and ideas for you coming back. Wow again, this is
the presentation was tongue in cheek.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
The facts are not. They're dead serious. Like you said earlier,
those people need to be mocked. There's Boris Johnson rolling in.
A lot of the Trump crowd coming in. Interesting crew,
saw Bill Cower, the football coach. Saw a wrestler of
some sort. Mojo's coming in. Lots of hot women. We've
got all this stuff Joe mentioned, and the polling around
(12:40):
Trump's actions that he's going to take today on immigration
are incredibly popular, even according to the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Stay tuned for that. Josh takes a lot of big hits.
He rams up his running in the playoffs, got a
third and two. I still have two timeouts in the pocket.
Tess's for the touchdown.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Lots of great football action over the weekend. I took
in at least parts of all the games. She got
cheaps against the Bills, which has been predicted since day one,
and Redskins Eagles, which is exciting.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
They're the Commanders, You're racist, the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It will always be the Redskins to me. In that quarterback,
if it weren't for being a Chiefs fan, I'd be
all rooting for the Washington.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That quarterback is a cool kid. Yeah yeah, what's that?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Jalen Thomas A big Jalen they call him. He actually
so skinny, looks like they could break him in a half.
But he's a wonderful athlete.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, and I liked his personality. I saw his interview afterwards.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah nice, nice young man. So anyway, love the footsball.
It's a playoff time. That's exciting, but not as exciting
Jack as the inauguration day, which is all right, Donald J.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Trump blah blah blah. Look at this.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Original from a rally in twenty fifteen when it fall
first started.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Om original maga.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, this is an og maga hat right here. Got
it in my head. Yeah, So not even red. It's
kind of weirdly maroon. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, before the
red when they were all different colors, but way back then.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Right, yeah, yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Hold on to that. It'll be worth something in three
hundred and fifty years. So this is just so sweet.
Time dot com It used to be a significant magazine.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Kids.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It doesn't matter now, but they had a big piece
on Monday, Donald Trump will be sworn in blah blah blah,
highly anticipated the day of celebration. Others have been dreading
it and would happily finagle a deal with the universe
to skip to some other day four years down the road.
It's that, Oh yeah, you're willing to give up four
years in your life because you're so upset at the
(14:55):
presidential election. We need to stop treating adults like their children.
Whatever happened to phrases? Maybe I should get into the
bulk of this before I start ranting, But Michael, remind me,
whatever happened a phrases like I want to finish that sentence.
Why so much distress after months of processing the outcome
(15:15):
of this deviceive election? Well, I actually start with many
people are probably catastrophizing which is a cognitive distortion that
involves fixating on the worst possible outcomes or aspects of
something and believing it's bound to be happening.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, AOC's rant on the TikTok I think she put
out a video no makeup on in that classic young
progressive sort of way, you know, in your bathroom, no makeup,
screaming about twenty first century fascism starts tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
All right, No it doesn't. You're an idiot. Be quiet.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So and the first psychologist actually says, hey, look, it's
one one moment, a four year term, things change, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I just did lighten the hell up.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
On the other hand, Time is not content with that
and suggests strategies for dealing with the emotional pain of
inauguration day.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Things that are.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Great for your mental health Number one, give back, give
to charity, Serve someone that's actually good for you anytime. Yeah,
work out, get creative. Here's where it gets fun. Do
some forest bathing.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
What is that in forest bathing? Jack give you go
into the.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Forests, apparently, and count the trees and observe their long,
bare branches this time of year, unless you're in a
coniferous forest.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Then they still have needles. Anyway, you'll feel humbled.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
This mountain is going to be there forever and ever
and your one human being.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Everything passes. Eventually you'll be okay.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Forest bathing, spend five minutes journaling, Go see your performance,
Do something kind, Smile at other people, dance it out,
Cry with a friend.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
This was another one of my favorite.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Dance it out.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It might seem counterintuitive, but if you need to shed
a few tears on inauguration Day, don't do it alone.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Find other people to cry with.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'll call some of my friends, say can I cry
with you today?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
See how we stop acting like a child? Huh Armstrap
and Getty sirs.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
A little montage from Trump's big rally yesterday, and.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
By a good feeling. We're like winning, don't we in Washington,
d C. Please little rock you.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We have twenty hours until our long national nightmare is over.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We're almost there.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Tomorrow, everybody in this very large arena will be very happy.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
With my decision on the Jay six hostages.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
We will not be invaded, we will not be occupied,
we will not be overrun, we will not be conquered.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We will be a free and proud.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Nation once again, and that will take place tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
At twelve o'clock.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
As the actual Village People, whoever's left of the Village
People performing Ymca, which has become Trump's theme song for
whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Boy, that is exciting.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's so sad that only Paul McCartney and Ringo Star
remain of the Village People. Oh that's right, that's the Beatles.
I'm always getting them confused. Good Lord. The village People
a bunch of old men in the Halloween costumes. I'm
supposed to be excited by that. I'm sorry, I'm not.
You know why, because I'm a non idiot.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The important people are filing into the Capitol because of
the indoor inauguration. Trump becomes president and noon this just
in breaking news. President elect Trump plans to issue ten
executive orders related to immigration, including declaring a national emergency
at the border. An incoming officials says, so he's going
to declare a national emergency. I don't know what it
(19:01):
would take to qualify for national emergency if the last
couple of years has not been one.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I think that is both politically tenable and constitutionally so
as well. Congress really ought to redo all of our
immigration laws and make them stick. But they haven't and
they probably won't. So yes, Trump's executive orders in this
realm are absolutely appropriate workingness. It's an emergency by any definition, working.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
My way up to people's opinions on the border as
Trump takes office. From the New York Times, it's really interesting.
But this article out today on inauguration Day from Peter Baker,
which is the main reporter for the New York Times
for the presidency. And he was big in all the
Russia stuff all those years. But today defiance is out.
Differences in Trump returns to a different Washington, and I'll
(19:48):
read you a couple of paragraphs so I thought were
really interesting. If Washington looks like a war zone again.
He talks about the miles of barricades and all the
security and everything like that. It does not necessarily feel
that way. Unlike the last time President Elecdonald J. Trump
took the oath of office eight years ago, the bristling
tension and angry defiance have given way to accommodation and submission.
(20:09):
The resistance of twenty seventeen has faded into the resignition
resignation of twenty twenty five. Some Democrats are talking about
working with the newly restored Republican president on discrete issues.
Some news organizations are reorienting their shows for more difference.
The grassroots opposition that put hundreds of thousands of people
(20:30):
in the streets in DC to protest Trump the day
after his swearing in Last Time generated a fraction of
that in their sequel on Saturday, the track.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I must interrupt with breaking video. The outgoing Mummy and
incoming President have just left the White House in the
company inexplicably of Amy Clovisure.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Somebody explained that to me.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And are now getting in the beast the presidential limousine.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And good riddance. Wow, you are being poorly judged currently
and your stature status is only going to go down
throughout history, mister president. As more is known.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
According to a Secret Service source, Joe Biden just said
to Trump, what are you doing here in DC?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So, if you remember after Trump got inaugurated and I
was there in twenty seventeen, there were several hundred thousand
protesters the next day wearing the pea hats, the pea
hat parade protesting Trump's They tried to do that again
yesterday and it was a tiny gathering. There's just no
energy for it. Why well, Peter Baker explains, some of
(21:40):
the difference being shown to mister Trump now by the
political media and corporate world stems from a broader sense
that perhaps popular opinion is more on mister Trump's side
than they had assumed.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I can't believe this.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
This is serious writing from a serious in the New
York Times. Maybe the difference by the political media and
corporate worlds comes from a broader sense that perhaps popular
opinion is more on mister Trump's side than they have assumed.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's one of.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
The subtler pleasures a person can enjoy, but it's one
of the greatest. Watching the bigfoot media, the lefty media
try to somehow drag their readers toward a view of reality,
a realistic view of the country. I mean, it's so
he's couching it in such gentle like, tentative terms. It
(22:35):
could be, according to some observers, that once in a while,
Trump's policies are popular.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Peter, it's okay, buddy, just say it. Dang it.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They gotta have a microphone in there. The beast has
left the White House. Trump and Biden are both in
there and they're driving to the Capitol for the swearing in.
And there have been some historic conversations in these situations
between incoming and outgoing presidents that I've read about over
the years. Eisenhower and Kennedy, Reagan and Carter. There's a
lot of examples. What are Biden telling me about.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Saying to Trump, thanks for coming to my inauguration, I'm
looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
My second term. Yeah, yeah, cool? And Trump's like, all right, Joe.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Another line from Peter Baker in The New York Times,
after having said, maybe popular opinions more on Trump's side
than we had realized. In this view, Trump has grasped
something important by suggesting that the country needs to fundamentally
rethink some of its embedded ways of doing things. I'll
be darned, And this is the part I really liked.
The mood on the eve of the second inauguration is
different because progressives were stunned when mister Trump beat former
(23:47):
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, but not so surprised
when he beat Vice President Kyla Harrison November. Right, So
it went from no way he won what to yeah,
of course he won. She sucked.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And the old man was senile and we were running
around saying he wasn't case where coltists.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So to the policies and how they are, I don't
know if I want to launch into this or not,
because they're going to get out of the limo here soon.
I'm sure we're going to do some play by play
on that.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The New York Times got into the immigration issue and
pointing out that, hey, Trump's policies are really popular on
some of this stuff. For instance, do you support or
oppose he to the following deporting immigrants who are here
illegally and have criminal records? Eighty seven percent? So damn
near ninety percent of Americans want to boot out illegals
who are criminals. No freaking kidding. Practically everybody agrees with that,
(24:39):
except for Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, the state of
California governor knew some kambala hairs. But you people are
so on the wrong side of history. I don't know
how you could be so blind to how wrong you are.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Well, and it's a testament to what effective bullies they
are that if you that unpopular is the law of
a number of major cities and d I mean gnarrhea
is more popular than the notion of keeping criminal illegal
aliens in the country, and yet it endures.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Deporting immigrants who are here illegally and arrived over the
last four years. So he came in during Biden's term.
You're here illegally. Sixty three percent of Americans want them booted.
Almost two thirds of Americans.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Obviously, having heard the first question, includes the law abiding Yeah, no,
you came in illegally.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, we'll get to that. Deporting all immigrants who are
here illegally. So that's going back years and years and
years and includes the dreamers.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
What about the dreamers? That includes everybody who's here illegally.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
The New York Times pulling fifty five percent fifty.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Five for two, it's a thirteen point win for boot out.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Everybody who's here illegally, I don't care what their story is.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Is a popular issue. It's a solid majority. I actually
don't think people mean that when you got down to
brass hacks, but I think it is an It's a
full throated announced pronouncement of what they think about the
last four years of immigration policy. They are screaming for reform.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well, what do you think about it?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And they don't want for a second to have any
sort of moderation mistaken as an endorsement of these policies.
It's the classic I'm not going to give you an
inch until I see progress.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Kick them all out, right.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But on that previous number deporting all the people that
came in in the last four years, which is almost
two thirds, how about this, fifty four percent of Hispanics,
a majority of Hispanics say anybody who came here illegally
in the last four years, get them out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I don't even know what to say about that. The
way it's portrayed to us through the media versus the reality.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Well, right, and it's just so interesting again to watch
Peter Baker in the New York Times using those polls
to try to send the signal to their subscribers. And
this has probably come from the top down. Look, we
got to tell you the truth about this stuff. The
woke mind virus is infected us all. But hey, folks,
(27:17):
here's the way Americans actually think about this stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Here's one that does not have a majority approval. And
here's one where I'm knocking Trump. He is going today
sign an executive order or action, and I get him
mixed up. One is different than the other. But he's
going to sign an executive something ending birthright citizenship. I'm
fine with ending birthright citizenship. It's back from slave days.
(27:41):
It doesn't make any sense that it's applied the way
it is today. But the president can't do that. It's
in the freaking constitution. But that's only forty one percent
approval on that, and I think it's because people don't
understand where it came from or what it's for. But
I think that's true. Yeah, but he's going to try
to do it through executive order. So you got Biden
with illegal executive orders out the door. Trump coming in
(28:02):
the door with at least one that's clearly unconstitutional, and
he has no right even trying.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
I need to investigate the difference between executive actions and orders.
But if the action is simply an announcement to get
the discussion started, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Good point. Good point. I would have to dig into that.
God dang it, what are Trump and Biden talking about
in the limo as they head to the Capitol. It's
taking them a long time to get there. I just
walked from the Capitol from the White House to the Capitol.
Actually I rode those little scooters a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Not that far. Are they taking the scenic crowd?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Or did Biden need to stop and pick up some
pills at the CBS before they I got out a prescription.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I'm laid for feeling so good? Boy? Did Granta Garbo
have great gams? Jeers Classic?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So there were some rumors floating around over the weekend
that perhaps they didn't move it in doors because of
the cold. Again, I don't quite understand that, because there
were a couple of football games over the weekend that
were every bit is cold or colder and eighty thousand
people willingly stood out there for like five hours.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Right, So who makes that call? Capitol police, Trump himself,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Don't know either, But there are some rumors floating around
over the weekend that it was the terrorist threat, and
you know, they wouldn't necessarily tell us about it, and
Barack Obama when he was inaugurated the first time in
eight was wearing a bulletproof vest because they thought there
was an active terrorist threat happening and we didn't find
out about it until like two years later. So that
could be true, although I checked in with somebody in
(29:36):
the know who would absolutely have access to this knowledge
and said, no, no, no sniff of a major terrorist
threat outside of the normal. It's just because of the cold.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
So who knows, Jack, how about a little presidential trivia.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
We'll keep it brief.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You're about to get out of the car. I can't
wait to see this.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
The Oaths of Office is only thirty five words, and
every time I watched the president give it, I'm fightened
for them because they give them fairly long phrases to
keep back, and I'm so easily distracted.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I'm always terrified.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
When I got married, I was terrified that do you
Joe take this woman?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Do I Joe take? What was the rest of it?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Well? Who who screwed it up? And they had to
redo it in the Capitol? Remember that a couple of
years back, somebody got the words wrong, and then to
make sure it stuck, then.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They had Rehnquist.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
When rehn Quis gave it to Obama, I think you're
a second interesting bit of inaugurabal trivia. While presidents are
made to place their hands on a book to swear
in the.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Book, is of their choosing.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Everybody's gone with a Bible, except John Quincy Adams.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Are the deal art of the deal. That's right. No
JQA used his law book.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Uh, we got to take a break here pretty soon.
But they're getting out of the beast Biden and Trump.
What if Trump just gets out and kind of pulls
Biden out? Biden is no longer conscious having been in
a fist fight like we keep seeing online with those
AI fights.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I really thought they'd go through McDonald's drive through hilarious.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Biden's gonna say to Trump, I'm thinking of pardoning Hunter.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Trump's gonna say you already did what.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
He's got what two hours and twenty minutes to pardon
his brother. There's a lot of people wondering if that's
gonna happen, Oh, Old James, is that one gonna land?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Plausible denial? My boy? Plausible denial?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
How do you possibly pardon all those other people and
not your brother unless he just thinks that's.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Too much of an admission of guilt or he's on
D's d as well Deaths Store.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, we got more on the way. You can text
us anytime. What are your thoughts on anything? Four one five,
five KFTC.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
This is a historic day.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Finally the guns have fallen, silent relief of people inside
guards or we're seeing people already streaming back to what
is left of their homes. It's going to be hugely
challenging for President Trump's team. This is just phase one.
Phase two and three need to see the release of
all of the hostages, dead or alive, and the crucial
question of what comes next. What does Garza look like?
Who governs Garsa? Remember a mass is a military organization,
(32:17):
but it was also the government inside Gaza elected democratically,
So what replaces them?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
If we weren't involved in this deal, the deal would
have never happened. And it was so ungracious of Biden is.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh he did it. He didn't do anything. If I
didn't do.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
This, if we didn't get involved, the hostages would never
be out. It is not our best moment for it
to be so focused upon who gets the credit for what,
Especially as watching Mark Alpern's Zoom call on Friday, he
was disgusted with the media focusing on and arguing about
who gets the most credit for bringing this deal together.
(32:54):
That's not the way to get things accomplished.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
It's almost as if that is their only interest, right, exactly,
the day to day bickering of politics as opposed to
governments and governance and policy and actual outcomes for actual
human beings.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, and history. It won't matter. It won't matter at all.
I thought the coverage of the hostages being freed was weird.
In most cases, it was way too happy. I mean, it's,
you know, it'd be great to get your loved one
back and they're still alive. But let's not pretend that
(33:30):
these young women, some attractive twenty year old who was
grabbed from a concert hasn't gone through absolute hell for
the last year and a half. One woman is missing
fingers because they were shot off or something like that
when she originally was fighting captors. Remember a woman who
was released like a year ago talking about being raped daily.
Guy would come in and hit her with the butt
(33:51):
of his rifle and raper every day. I mean, these
are some really rough stories.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Well right, and the coverage was like they just on
Olympic medals or something like that. That is entirely a
happy occasion, not a not a relief after the grim,
in some cases unimaginably grim holding of women and children
hostage by in this organization of monsters.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Have you seen the video of the one of the
women being transferred from the Hamas vehicle to the Israeli
vehicle there and you had all the Hamas fighters their
faces covered, guns, screaming at this woman as she walked
ten feet or they moved her ten feet from one
car to the other. Freaking monsters, animals. They need to
(34:35):
be killed, every single freaking one of them. National Review
out with a good piece on how this is just
such a horrible deal. Neither president should be trying to
take credit for it, because in retrospect it's going to
look like a horrible deal.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
The only relief to me is that I expected to
fall apart within a week, two weeks tops.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
There's no idea about those Hamas fighters.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
No, and the quote unquote deal to get to hostages
back at least some of them, God bless their souls,
is giving Hamas an excellent opportunity to reconstitute itself so
it can continue trying to wipe Israel.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Off the map.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
The inauguration proceedings are getting started. We'll give you play
by play on that.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Among other things, 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 getting and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
With cities across the US bracing for sweeping deportation raids
as promised by President elect Trump during his campaign, his
administration says it's rethinking where to launch the large scale crackdowns,
sources initially telling ABC News the raids would begin right
after the inauguration, likely in Chicago and then other big
(00:45):
sanctuary cities. The operations involving high priority criminal targets that
DHS teams have been.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Investigating for months.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
In Mexico, immigration officials ramping up sheltered capacity, bracing for
an influx of deepoort teas that could create chaos.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh oh, oh jeez, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I'm sorry, Mexico. That'd be horrible if you had chaos
having a bunch of criminals return to your country. I
guess that's something I'm supposed to be concerned about. Are
you freaking kidding me? This is part of the revolution
of common sense that begins at noon today. Yeah, Trump's
calling it, and this actually is a revolution of common sense.
(01:25):
And we'll get to some of the polling the New
York Times right over the weekend around the immigration stuff.
Ninety percent of Americans think we should return illegal criminals
ninety percent.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's not controversial.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Ah oh no, no, it's as close to unanimous as
you can get on any question. Would you like to
be jabbed in the eye? Ten percent of Americans and say, yeah,
that sounds great. This is absolutely functionally unanimous. Ship the
criminals out right, and they're gonna start that like immediately.
And as you heard in that ABC ree there, the
(02:01):
Justice Department has been working on the paperwork in this
stuff for a long time, so they know they've got
these people identified, they know what they did. It was
only the Biden policies that kept it well. And you're
stupid allowing cities and states to be sanctuaries. Just didn't
send it a revolution of common sense. And as we know, Jack,
(02:22):
things are three point four percent or three point four
times more popular if they spell out a word, and
Revolution of common sense spells out rocks.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh wow, it does rocks. Rocks, That's what I say.
Huh cool, all right, made my point.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I tell you what, between being out six hundred thousand
criminals and renaming the gulf.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's a good day. Yes, it's gonna walk around and.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Saying, hey, you know what I do for vacation this summer.
Let's go to the Gulf of Is it America? Let's
go to the Gulf of America in the summer. See
the ocean.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I love you, I love it. Why not, it's our golf. Absolutely,
President of Mexico with her wives cracking. We'll show her.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Huh, We'll rename the golf. And it's not even their golf.
They have a female president, Yes they do. Wow. Yes,
isn't that funny? Ah?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
So, speaking of funny, how about this bit of inauguration
trip Michael, do we have like hail to the chief
or something that we can know? There you go, this
inauguration trivia. When Andrew Johnson piece of Crap, was inaugurated
as vice president in eighteen sixty five, he was completely drunk.
He'd been suffering from typhoid fever at the time and
(03:36):
purportedly drank whiskey to numb the pain, except he drank.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
A little too much and ended up slurring through his oaths.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
In fact, a contemporary newspaper account of the time jack
I'm gonna read it to you. The headline is the
Inaugural humiliation. Andrew Johnson, the Vice President elect, presented himself
drunk at the great Inauguration ceremony and the presence of
the assembled Executive and Judicial Departments, blah blah blah, the representatives.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Of the people. Before that imposing.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Concourse, he bellowed for half an hour, the idiotic babble
of a mind besotted by a fortnight's debouch.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh, that should have happened in the area the era
of video and stuff, because that had been great.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, that's some good writing.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
He dragged its proudest ceremony into the slough is the
slew of his degradation, and turned it to shame and mortification. Man,
you hate to drag his speech into the old sod
slew a degradation.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Trump needs to avoid that today, Jackie.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
In my estimation, no kidding, Trump becomes president at noon today.
I assume you know that, and Joe Biden is running
out the door pardoning a bunch of people. So we
need to discuss that a little bit later. Some of
the executive orders, as we said, are around immigration. We'll
get to people's opinions on that later this hour. Great
(04:56):
article from the New York Times basically pointing out, hey,
a lot of these Trump policies are really really popular.
That's probably why. One it's funny that they're finally getting
around to this.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Wow, what am I supposed to say thank you? Or
what great insight?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Or I don't know, ivey, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, the bigfoot media are committing a medium speed suicide,
and I say let them.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I had a number of teenagers in my home over
the weekend as my son had a sleepover with a
couple of his buddies there, and it was a big
story for them for his friends that TikTok was off
when they got up on Sunday morning.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They noticed right away because that's like.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The first thing they do is go to their phone
and go to TikTok in the morning, and it wasn't
available because TikTok shut themselves down over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now, my son doesn't.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Have TikTok, and he constantly complains that his friends do.
But I became aware that his friends are super into it,
and one of them that's how he gets to sleep
at night. He goes to sleep scrolling through TikTok until
he falls and then he wakes up. His phone is
still on TikTok when he wakes up.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Wow, And that interesting, which is you know, if you
take him take that away. Obviously that's a bit of
a dependency thing. It would take a while to get
past that.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And between them and conversations with my nieces who are
all colleague age or older, none of them with any
knowledge slash concern about the fact that the communist Chinese
run the thing. That's just not on their radar.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
At that age, or they reject the notion as you
told us last week. Yeah, call it a conspiracy theory.
I think I know what Trump is doing. He has
said he would issue an executive order to reinstate TikTok
for the ninety days that the law gives it. I
think if there is a a negotiation for the sale
(06:51):
of it in progress, which is not really happening. So
it's not clear at all whether Trump can, you know,
bring it back to life for ninety days. Is that constitutional?
Is it legal? Judging by what I've read, it's not
And I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Not constitutional or illegal.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
It's it's not legal because Congress passed the law and
the law is quite specific on its terms, and presidents
just can't overturn laws by fiat. Trust me, you don't
want that, no matter how much you like Trump or not.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Especially votes that went fifty zero coming out of the
Big Committee on that in Congress, and then when the
Supreme Court looked at the you know, delaying this thing,
they were nine to nothing. You don't want presidents to
go around that. So I'm trying to figure out what
Trump is doing. Number One, he made a couple of
comics before. What's that He's a populist people. There's one
(07:47):
hundred and seventy million people that love TikTok. He's getting credit.
It was on the TikTok TikTok's own screenshot that they
put out said they're working with Donald Trump and then
basically gave Donald Trump the credit for it. Coming back
on that's what he's doing here, popular with young people.
I want to circle back to that, because that's I'm
aghast at that.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I'm hoping it's that Trump fancies himself the greatest deal
maker on earth, and he thinks he can work out
a sale if he brokers it in a way that
satisfies the law and TikTok TikTok users. If that is
simply his somewhat egotistical point of view, then I say
let him try. It's fine. We'll be rid of it
soon enough. But if it's what you're talking about, if
(08:30):
Trump is saying as he seemed to be hitting, look,
it helped get me elected. I'm big on TikTok. Yeah,
it's a tool of espionage and propaganda by our most
bitter enemy on earth. But if it helps me, I'm
gonna leave it that. I can't take that.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Uh yeah, Well, and.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Trump himself was the guy who hammered away to get
TikTok banned his first term.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, he got this going for good. Fun fact Charles C. W.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Cook tweeted out fun fact after viewing classified material about
the Communist Chinese Party's influence on TikTok. The bill to
ban TikTok past committee with a fifty to nothing vote
among the congress people who had looked at the info,
fifty to zero that included lots of Maga, lots of Centrists,
and lots of Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It was unanimous. That's how it was.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Sound.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
As we shared with you last week, Peter Schweitzer doing
some great writing if you look at those quotes, some classified,
some not, from various Chinese military leaders, propagandist political leaders.
They love TikTok and they said specifically why because it's
such an effective propaganda tool to get inside the heads
of America's youngsters and subtly nudge them toward pro Chinese views.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, this tweet continues.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Banning a CCP espionage and propaganda app was obviously the
correct decision. Even Laura Ingram, who's pretty big, trumpy person, said,
is it now our position that the CCP has a
First Amendment right to control the propaganda vehicle inside the
US that poses a severe national security thread? Even she
is not cool with the allowing TikTok to continue in
(10:15):
its current form at all.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
For a minute, it shouldn't right.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I had one more thought on that blah blah blah
TikTok Chinese Party. Everybody voted, I don't I'll come back.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
TikTok, because it's controlled by the communist Chinese who are
desperate to have it continue, TikTok is going to be
just absolutely a wash in flattery of Donald Trump. Now, Oh,
and effort to manipulate his ego, and I just I'm sorry.
We'll continue to call it the way we see it
around here. If when Trump's right, we're going to say
he's right. When he's wrong, we're going to say he's wrong.
(10:46):
If that doesn't satisfy, ye, well let us part his friends.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I think Trump just wants to make sure if TikTok
goes away, it has the look of it was dragged
away against his wishes. I think that's just how he
wants to end up.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I'm not comfortable with that either, but I get
that strategy.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So that's where we are on that. It's kind of
hard for me to get into the whole. TikTok gets
a tremendous amount of attention. It was the lead on
all the Sunday shows yesterday because it, you know, had
been taken down. So Facination ABC this week, Meet the Press,
they were all it was their lead thing. And I
I don't have TikTok. I've never been on it. Seeing
(11:28):
my son's friends, so I mean, like the first thing
they noticed when they got up in.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The morning was their TikTok was gone. Yeah, that's interesting. Well,
do you know what code switching is? You can google.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
It has to do with patterns of speech. I need
to change my pattern of speech right now to talk
in my compassionate, progressive manner, because speaking like a man
frightens many progressives.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So excuse me.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Psychology experts, thin therapists are suggesting a variety of activities
to help you with your emotional turmoil on this the
inauguration day of Donald Trump. So we'll have some hints
and ideas for you coming back. Wow again, this is
the presentation was tongue in cheek.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
The facts are not. They're dead serious. Like you said earlier,
those people need to be mocked. There's Boris Johnson rolling in.
A lot of the Trump crowd coming in. Interesting crew,
saw Bill Cower, the football coach. Saw a wrestler of
some sort. Mojo's coming in. Lots of hot women. We've
got all this stuff Joe mentioned, and the polling around
(12:40):
Trump's actions that he's going to take today on immigration
are incredibly popular, even according to the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Stay tuned for that. Josh takes a lot of big hits.
He rams up his running in the playoffs, got a
third and two. I still have two timeouts in the pocket.
Tess's for the touchdown.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Lots of great football action over the weekend. I took
in at least parts of all the games. She got
cheaps against the Bills, which has been predicted since day one,
and Redskins Eagles, which is exciting.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
They're the Commanders, You're racist, the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It will always be the Redskins to me. In that quarterback,
if it weren't for being a Chiefs fan, I'd be
all rooting for the Washington.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That quarterback is a cool kid. Yeah yeah, what's that?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Jalen Thomas A big Jalen they call him. He actually
so skinny, looks like they could break him in a half.
But he's a wonderful athlete.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, and I liked his personality. I saw his interview afterwards.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah nice, nice young man. So anyway, love the footsball.
It's a playoff time. That's exciting, but not as exciting
Jack as the inauguration day, which is all right, Donald J.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Trump blah blah blah. Look at this.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Original from a rally in twenty fifteen when it fall
first started.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Om original maga.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, this is an og maga hat right here. Got
it in my head. Yeah, So not even red. It's
kind of weirdly maroon. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, before the
red when they were all different colors, but way back then.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Right, yeah, yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Hold on to that. It'll be worth something in three
hundred and fifty years. So this is just so sweet.
Time dot com It used to be a significant magazine.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Kids.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It doesn't matter now, but they had a big piece
on Monday, Donald Trump will be sworn in blah blah blah,
highly anticipated the day of celebration. Others have been dreading
it and would happily finagle a deal with the universe
to skip to some other day four years down the road.
It's that, Oh yeah, you're willing to give up four
years in your life because you're so upset at the
(14:55):
presidential election. We need to stop treating adults like their children.
Whatever happened to phrases? Maybe I should get into the
bulk of this before I start ranting, But Michael, remind me,
whatever happened a phrases like I want to finish that sentence.
Why so much distress after months of processing the outcome
(15:15):
of this deviceive election? Well, I actually start with many
people are probably catastrophizing which is a cognitive distortion that
involves fixating on the worst possible outcomes or aspects of
something and believing it's bound to be happening.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, AOC's rant on the TikTok I think she put
out a video no makeup on in that classic young
progressive sort of way, you know, in your bathroom, no makeup,
screaming about twenty first century fascism starts tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
All right, No it doesn't. You're an idiot. Be quiet.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So and the first psychologist actually says, hey, look, it's
one one moment, a four year term, things change, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I just did lighten the hell up.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
On the other hand, Time is not content with that
and suggests strategies for dealing with the emotional pain of
inauguration day.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Things that are.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Great for your mental health Number one, give back, give
to charity, Serve someone that's actually good for you anytime. Yeah,
work out, get creative. Here's where it gets fun. Do
some forest bathing.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
What is that in forest bathing? Jack give you go
into the.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Forests, apparently, and count the trees and observe their long,
bare branches this time of year, unless you're in a
coniferous forest.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Then they still have needles. Anyway, you'll feel humbled.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
This mountain is going to be there forever and ever
and your one human being.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Everything passes. Eventually you'll be okay.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Forest bathing, spend five minutes journaling, Go see your performance,
Do something kind, Smile at other people, dance it out,
Cry with a friend.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
This was another one of my favorite.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Dance it out.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It might seem counterintuitive, but if you need to shed
a few tears on inauguration Day, don't do it alone.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Find other people to cry with.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'll call some of my friends, say can I cry
with you today?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
See how we stop acting like a child? Huh Armstrap
and Getty sirs.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
A little montage from Trump's big rally yesterday, and.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
By a good feeling. We're like winning, don't we in Washington,
d C. Please little rock you.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We have twenty hours until our long national nightmare is over.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We're almost there.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Tomorrow, everybody in this very large arena will be very happy.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
With my decision on the Jay six hostages.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
We will not be invaded, we will not be occupied,
we will not be overrun, we will not be conquered.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We will be a free and proud.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Nation once again, and that will take place tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
At twelve o'clock.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
As the actual Village People, whoever's left of the Village
People performing Ymca, which has become Trump's theme song for
whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Boy, that is exciting.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's so sad that only Paul McCartney and Ringo Star
remain of the Village People. Oh that's right, that's the Beatles.
I'm always getting them confused. Good Lord. The village People
a bunch of old men in the Halloween costumes. I'm
supposed to be excited by that. I'm sorry, I'm not.
You know why, because I'm a non idiot.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The important people are filing into the Capitol because of
the indoor inauguration. Trump becomes president and noon this just
in breaking news. President elect Trump plans to issue ten
executive orders related to immigration, including declaring a national emergency
at the border. An incoming officials says, so he's going
to declare a national emergency. I don't know what it
(19:01):
would take to qualify for national emergency if the last
couple of years has not been one.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I think that is both politically tenable and constitutionally so
as well. Congress really ought to redo all of our
immigration laws and make them stick. But they haven't and
they probably won't. So yes, Trump's executive orders in this
realm are absolutely appropriate workingness. It's an emergency by any definition, working.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
My way up to people's opinions on the border as
Trump takes office. From the New York Times, it's really interesting.
But this article out today on inauguration Day from Peter Baker,
which is the main reporter for the New York Times
for the presidency. And he was big in all the
Russia stuff all those years. But today defiance is out.
Differences in Trump returns to a different Washington, and I'll
(19:48):
read you a couple of paragraphs so I thought were
really interesting. If Washington looks like a war zone again.
He talks about the miles of barricades and all the
security and everything like that. It does not necessarily feel
that way. Unlike the last time President Elecdonald J. Trump
took the oath of office eight years ago, the bristling
tension and angry defiance have given way to accommodation and submission.
(20:09):
The resistance of twenty seventeen has faded into the resignition
resignation of twenty twenty five. Some Democrats are talking about
working with the newly restored Republican president on discrete issues.
Some news organizations are reorienting their shows for more difference.
The grassroots opposition that put hundreds of thousands of people
(20:30):
in the streets in DC to protest Trump the day
after his swearing in Last Time generated a fraction of
that in their sequel on Saturday, the track.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I must interrupt with breaking video. The outgoing Mummy and
incoming President have just left the White House in the
company inexplicably of Amy Clovisure.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Somebody explained that to me.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And are now getting in the beast the presidential limousine.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And good riddance. Wow, you are being poorly judged currently
and your stature status is only going to go down
throughout history, mister president. As more is known.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
According to a Secret Service source, Joe Biden just said
to Trump, what are you doing here in DC?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So, if you remember after Trump got inaugurated and I
was there in twenty seventeen, there were several hundred thousand
protesters the next day wearing the pea hats, the pea
hat parade protesting Trump's They tried to do that again
yesterday and it was a tiny gathering. There's just no
energy for it. Why well, Peter Baker explains, some of
(21:40):
the difference being shown to mister Trump now by the
political media and corporate world stems from a broader sense
that perhaps popular opinion is more on mister Trump's side
than they had assumed.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I can't believe this.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
This is serious writing from a serious in the New
York Times. Maybe the difference by the political media and
corporate worlds comes from a broader sense that perhaps popular
opinion is more on mister Trump's side than they have assumed.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's one of.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
The subtler pleasures a person can enjoy, but it's one
of the greatest. Watching the bigfoot media, the lefty media
try to somehow drag their readers toward a view of reality,
a realistic view of the country. I mean, it's so
he's couching it in such gentle like, tentative terms. It
(22:35):
could be, according to some observers, that once in a while,
Trump's policies are popular.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Peter, it's okay, buddy, just say it. Dang it.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They gotta have a microphone in there. The beast has
left the White House. Trump and Biden are both in
there and they're driving to the Capitol for the swearing in.
And there have been some historic conversations in these situations
between incoming and outgoing presidents that I've read about over
the years. Eisenhower and Kennedy, Reagan and Carter. There's a
lot of examples. What are Biden telling me about.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Saying to Trump, thanks for coming to my inauguration, I'm
looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
My second term. Yeah, yeah, cool? And Trump's like, all right, Joe.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Another line from Peter Baker in The New York Times,
after having said, maybe popular opinions more on Trump's side
than we had realized. In this view, Trump has grasped
something important by suggesting that the country needs to fundamentally
rethink some of its embedded ways of doing things. I'll
be darned, And this is the part I really liked.
The mood on the eve of the second inauguration is
different because progressives were stunned when mister Trump beat former
(23:47):
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, but not so surprised
when he beat Vice President Kyla Harrison November. Right, So
it went from no way he won what to yeah,
of course he won. She sucked.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And the old man was senile and we were running
around saying he wasn't case where coltists.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So to the policies and how they are, I don't
know if I want to launch into this or not,
because they're going to get out of the limo here soon.
I'm sure we're going to do some play by play
on that.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The New York Times got into the immigration issue and
pointing out that, hey, Trump's policies are really popular on
some of this stuff. For instance, do you support or
oppose he to the following deporting immigrants who are here
illegally and have criminal records? Eighty seven percent? So damn
near ninety percent of Americans want to boot out illegals
who are criminals. No freaking kidding. Practically everybody agrees with that,
(24:39):
except for Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, the state of
California governor knew some kambala hairs. But you people are
so on the wrong side of history. I don't know
how you could be so blind to how wrong you are.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Well, and it's a testament to what effective bullies they
are that if you that unpopular is the law of
a number of major cities and d I mean gnarrhea
is more popular than the notion of keeping criminal illegal
aliens in the country, and yet it endures.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Deporting immigrants who are here illegally and arrived over the
last four years. So he came in during Biden's term.
You're here illegally. Sixty three percent of Americans want them booted.
Almost two thirds of Americans.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Obviously, having heard the first question, includes the law abiding Yeah, no,
you came in illegally.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, we'll get to that. Deporting all immigrants who are
here illegally. So that's going back years and years and
years and includes the dreamers.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
What about the dreamers? That includes everybody who's here illegally.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
The New York Times pulling fifty five percent fifty.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Five for two, it's a thirteen point win for boot out.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Everybody who's here illegally, I don't care what their story is.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Is a popular issue. It's a solid majority. I actually
don't think people mean that when you got down to
brass hacks, but I think it is an It's a
full throated announced pronouncement of what they think about the
last four years of immigration policy. They are screaming for reform.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well, what do you think about it?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And they don't want for a second to have any
sort of moderation mistaken as an endorsement of these policies.
It's the classic I'm not going to give you an
inch until I see progress.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Kick them all out, right.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But on that previous number deporting all the people that
came in in the last four years, which is almost
two thirds, how about this, fifty four percent of Hispanics,
a majority of Hispanics say anybody who came here illegally
in the last four years, get them out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I don't even know what to say about that. The
way it's portrayed to us through the media versus the reality.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Well, right, and it's just so interesting again to watch
Peter Baker in the New York Times using those polls
to try to send the signal to their subscribers. And
this has probably come from the top down. Look, we
got to tell you the truth about this stuff. The
woke mind virus is infected us all. But hey, folks,
(27:17):
here's the way Americans actually think about this stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Here's one that does not have a majority approval. And
here's one where I'm knocking Trump. He is going today
sign an executive order or action, and I get him
mixed up. One is different than the other. But he's
going to sign an executive something ending birthright citizenship. I'm
fine with ending birthright citizenship. It's back from slave days.
(27:41):
It doesn't make any sense that it's applied the way
it is today. But the president can't do that. It's
in the freaking constitution. But that's only forty one percent
approval on that, and I think it's because people don't
understand where it came from or what it's for. But
I think that's true. Yeah, but he's going to try
to do it through executive order. So you got Biden
with illegal executive orders out the door. Trump coming in
(28:02):
the door with at least one that's clearly unconstitutional, and
he has no right even trying.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
I need to investigate the difference between executive actions and orders.
But if the action is simply an announcement to get
the discussion started, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Good point. Good point. I would have to dig into that.
God dang it, what are Trump and Biden talking about
in the limo as they head to the Capitol. It's
taking them a long time to get there. I just
walked from the Capitol from the White House to the Capitol.
Actually I rode those little scooters a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Not that far. Are they taking the scenic crowd?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Or did Biden need to stop and pick up some
pills at the CBS before they I got out a prescription.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I'm laid for feeling so good? Boy? Did Granta Garbo
have great gams? Jeers Classic?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So there were some rumors floating around over the weekend
that perhaps they didn't move it in doors because of
the cold. Again, I don't quite understand that, because there
were a couple of football games over the weekend that
were every bit is cold or colder and eighty thousand
people willingly stood out there for like five hours.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Right, So who makes that call? Capitol police, Trump himself,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Don't know either, But there are some rumors floating around
over the weekend that it was the terrorist threat, and
you know, they wouldn't necessarily tell us about it, and
Barack Obama when he was inaugurated the first time in
eight was wearing a bulletproof vest because they thought there
was an active terrorist threat happening and we didn't find
out about it until like two years later. So that
could be true, although I checked in with somebody in
(29:36):
the know who would absolutely have access to this knowledge
and said, no, no, no sniff of a major terrorist
threat outside of the normal. It's just because of the cold.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
So who knows, Jack, how about a little presidential trivia.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
We'll keep it brief.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You're about to get out of the car. I can't
wait to see this.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
The Oaths of Office is only thirty five words, and
every time I watched the president give it, I'm fightened
for them because they give them fairly long phrases to
keep back, and I'm so easily distracted.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I'm always terrified.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
When I got married, I was terrified that do you
Joe take this woman?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Do I Joe take? What was the rest of it?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Well? Who who screwed it up? And they had to
redo it in the Capitol? Remember that a couple of
years back, somebody got the words wrong, and then to
make sure it stuck, then.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They had Rehnquist.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
When rehn Quis gave it to Obama, I think you're
a second interesting bit of inaugurabal trivia. While presidents are
made to place their hands on a book to swear
in the.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Book, is of their choosing.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Everybody's gone with a Bible, except John Quincy Adams.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Are the deal art of the deal. That's right. No
JQA used his law book.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Uh, we got to take a break here pretty soon.
But they're getting out of the beast Biden and Trump.
What if Trump just gets out and kind of pulls
Biden out? Biden is no longer conscious having been in
a fist fight like we keep seeing online with those
AI fights.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I really thought they'd go through McDonald's drive through hilarious.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Biden's gonna say to Trump, I'm thinking of pardoning Hunter.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Trump's gonna say you already did what.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
He's got what two hours and twenty minutes to pardon
his brother. There's a lot of people wondering if that's
gonna happen, Oh, Old James, is that one gonna land?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Plausible denial? My boy? Plausible denial?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
How do you possibly pardon all those other people and
not your brother unless he just thinks that's.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Too much of an admission of guilt or he's on
D's d as well Deaths Store.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, we got more on the way. You can text
us anytime. What are your thoughts on anything? Four one five,
five KFTC.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
This is a historic day.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Finally the guns have fallen, silent relief of people inside
guards or we're seeing people already streaming back to what
is left of their homes. It's going to be hugely
challenging for President Trump's team. This is just phase one.
Phase two and three need to see the release of
all of the hostages, dead or alive, and the crucial
question of what comes next. What does Garza look like?
Who governs Garsa? Remember a mass is a military organization,
(32:17):
but it was also the government inside Gaza elected democratically,
So what replaces them?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
If we weren't involved in this deal, the deal would
have never happened. And it was so ungracious of Biden is.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh he did it. He didn't do anything. If I
didn't do.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
This, if we didn't get involved, the hostages would never
be out. It is not our best moment for it
to be so focused upon who gets the credit for what,
Especially as watching Mark Alpern's Zoom call on Friday, he
was disgusted with the media focusing on and arguing about
who gets the most credit for bringing this deal together.
(32:54):
That's not the way to get things accomplished.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
It's almost as if that is their only interest, right, exactly,
the day to day bickering of politics as opposed to
governments and governance and policy and actual outcomes for actual
human beings.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, and history. It won't matter. It won't matter at all.
I thought the coverage of the hostages being freed was weird.
In most cases, it was way too happy. I mean, it's,
you know, it'd be great to get your loved one
back and they're still alive. But let's not pretend that
(33:30):
these young women, some attractive twenty year old who was
grabbed from a concert hasn't gone through absolute hell for
the last year and a half. One woman is missing
fingers because they were shot off or something like that
when she originally was fighting captors. Remember a woman who
was released like a year ago talking about being raped daily.
Guy would come in and hit her with the butt
(33:51):
of his rifle and raper every day. I mean, these
are some really rough stories.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Well right, and the coverage was like they just on
Olympic medals or something like that. That is entirely a
happy occasion, not a not a relief after the grim,
in some cases unimaginably grim holding of women and children
hostage by in this organization of monsters.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Have you seen the video of the one of the
women being transferred from the Hamas vehicle to the Israeli
vehicle there and you had all the Hamas fighters their
faces covered, guns, screaming at this woman as she walked
ten feet or they moved her ten feet from one
car to the other. Freaking monsters, animals. They need to
(34:35):
be killed, every single freaking one of them. National Review
out with a good piece on how this is just
such a horrible deal. Neither president should be trying to
take credit for it, because in retrospect it's going to
look like a horrible deal.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
The only relief to me is that I expected to
fall apart within a week, two weeks tops.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
There's no idea about those Hamas fighters.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
No, and the quote unquote deal to get to hostages
back at least some of them, God bless their souls,
is giving Hamas an excellent opportunity to reconstitute itself so
it can continue trying to wipe Israel.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Off the map.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
The inauguration proceedings are getting started. We'll give you play
by play on that.
