Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And Getty and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Confer by Trump Press secretary. There will be a press
conference Putin and Trump side by side talking to the
media after they discussed tomorrow. Wowser's looking forward to that.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Crazy to see this drama playing out in front of
the scenes at least a lot more than we're used to. Yeah, wow,
wild Well, we'll track it for you and certainly be
talking about it on Monday as the dust settles. So
the deep red state of South Carolina is in play.
(00:54):
According to the Democrats, They've got a good shot at
becoming governor and perhaps cracking that red wall in the South,
one of their great hopes. Two time Charleston County Democratic
Party chairman and current gubernatorial candidate William mcclaud junior popular fellow,
Let's listen into how his campaign is going to Will you.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Get charge?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hey, Taren Matthew my friends started.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, so, uh that was sober modulated. I couldn't really
understand what he was saying.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What is happening? Here.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
That was the point. He was in the back of
a cop car, bellowing like a lunatic about something about
God's grace. But he won't give you any slack. Your
crimes are against humanity. Then he calms down suddenly and inexplicably,
in the tradition of drug crazed lunatics everywhere. I think
it was drugs. And I said, by the way.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So he's in the back of the police car because
he's under arrest.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yes, he was charged with public disorderly conduct and booked
into jail because he was going berserk. I guess there's
thirty five minutes of police footage of the gubernatorial candidate
as they transported him from the downtown area. Beautiful, historic
(02:35):
downtown Charleston. If you've never visited, please do. I urge
you to to the detention center. I believe he calms
down somewhat in this next clip.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It doesn't matter, my friend. Trust me, I'm one of
the most just humans to ever. Okay, tell me your name,
I'm just you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, Well, we tried.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We've all tried more. Give me Superman. Sounds good. I'm
Superman John Doe. Now you know what John does. Fine, Okay, John,
Doe's fine. I don't give him. Just get these shackles
off of me.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So, Joe, you got me right, Just get this.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
My name did matter.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
If you keep backing like this, the jails just gonna
put you in more.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I don't care worse.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, good luck you, miss ade.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Mister McLeod mentions names such as former President Barack Obama,
Attorney General Alan Wilson of South Carolina, President Donald Trump,
and other prominent South Carolinians. Of Wilson, I think is
this part of no? I don't think all right, h
of Wilson, the Republican who's also running to be South
Carolina's next governor. McLeod threatens to kick his teeth in
(03:47):
before rambling on and fing Wilson. I'm daring you right now,
mother Effor, when you've got all the teeth in your mouth,
you better be in front of the People's House, which
my cousin used.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
To have the wheel.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You better be outside old under press conference tone, the
effing world ahead. You win until you win. Conversation we
had u mfor that's hard to argue with. So so
is this and the only reason if you can't take.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Your the look I might I might good chase some
case mother, if you don't, Jay Ditchington.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I'm talking.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So I want you to get a second round of
kicking those teeth in because your father said.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And never had.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
To dad in all of states to do it the
people's work.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I want to do that work for you.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Why six night.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Sean.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
He also mentions Nancy amid his rants. It's not immediately
clear whether he meant gubernatorial candidate US Representative Nancy Mace,
but he goes on to say he would ca her
teeth into.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well, that's a threat. That's probably not a good thing
to do. He probably shouldn't threat US senators like that.
So do we have a sense of how much of
this is a drug or booze related and how much
of it is your crackpot, complete crackpot.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
It's not clear from the report.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Reminds me of somebody I heard say the other day
that when they used to drink, they whenever I drank,
I wasn't gonna stop until either cried or fought. That's
where he was. He's kind of like getting to the
cry part. He'd gone through the fight part.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Right. The State Democratic Party has for some reason distanced
itself from his candidacy quote. After reviewing the transcript of
the dashcam footage from his recent arrest, this clear mister
McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his
mental and emotional well being instead of a campaign for governor.
We offer him compassion and pray he finds the support
(05:57):
he needs. In response to the teeth kicking in threat
against mister Wilson, one of the candidates, he replied, the
first Democrat to join the governor's race, that he wants
to kick my teeth in. I'm going to give him
the benefit of the doubt and assume he means in
a general election, not a street fight. My plan for
(06:17):
bold conservative leadership is spreading, and my record of defending Trump,
parental rights and the rule of law is put a
target on my back. But I'm not slowing down and
I'm not done fighting for South Carolina families. Oh my golly,
(06:43):
it's got an interesting speaking styl.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Does he air like it's kind of like howardly?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Give up a left?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right very much, my cowardly lion.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Oh wasted.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He only had a heart. The lion needed a heart, right, Uh, courage, courage,
that's right, obviously, he's got the courage.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
To cook people's teeth in and argue with cops our stupidity.
Either way, good luck in your future endeavors, sir.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The tin Man needed a heart, The Scarecrow needed a brain. Yes, sir, okay,
I'm on it.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Toto needed you know, a little walkies, a little little
trip outside there for a minute, Dorothy, Hey, you get
a dog here. Let's not forget that.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Uh got a couple of trends we need to ask
Katie about to figure out if they're actually a trend
or not.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
There was a trend cracking down on free speech in
Great Britain.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh I want to hear that. Yikes, God, that's so
crazy that that the so much of the world is
going in that direction.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yipes in our buddies too. I mean that the countries
we assumed were a lot like us.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
The Grand Experiment has begun.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, it has awesome. So we'll get to the trends
and the cracking down on free speach in Great Britain.
All on the way, stay here, Armstrong and on a
level four disturbance. Now. They said they had him restrained,
he broke out, and their passengers.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Holding him down there The Breeze Airways flight was traveling
from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles. Police say they were
told the passenger was intoxicated, yelling racial slurs at the
flight attendants and waving around a skateboard. According to air
traffic control audio, the passenger was restrained two separate times,
but broke free both times, The plane then declaring an
emergency and diverting to Grand Junction, Colorado, where the airline
(08:42):
says it was met promptly by local law enforcement officers
who restrained and removed the passenger from the aircraft.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Nice job of tying him up. Level four disturbance. So
we don't have any idea if it's a one to
ten scale or a one to four scale, or of
one's worse than tens of b We don't have any idea.
Maybe four is the least and one's the biggest. I
feel like a guy who's swinging a skateboard which is
basically like a bat or something like that, and screaming
(09:11):
like that and being a lunatict is broken out twice
should be the practically the top level whatever it is,
I'm guessing it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Is, unless you know there's a guy with a gun
is like five. This is clearly a hijacking. God help
us all.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'm surprised somebody didn't take him down quicker, because I mean,
if you're swinging a skateboard near my head, I got
to do something just as a self protective measure. But
at one point, if you've seen the video, this very
large gentleman, and I mean he's like NFL big, comes up,
picks him up like a little kid, and takes him
back and says sit down. And that was the end
of it till they landed in Grand Junction and was
(09:46):
let off the plane. So wow, a large gentleman took
care of the situation.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I've got some unbelievable breaking news from the New York
Times that I want to get to. I don't know
if I'll have time here, but because I wanted to
mention these two trends, and I ask Katie if she
knows anything about you never know if a no TikTok
trend is a big deal or nothing. First, this one
tired girl as a look that's me every day, the
(10:18):
tired girl look. Apparently some young starlet I've never heard
of has popularized looking really tired. So people are putting
on makeup to make yourself look more pale, and your
hair's messed up, and you're like, your eyes are readiness.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
They're trying to look like Jenna Ortega Wednesday Adams, because
the new Wednesday just came out on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The tired girl looks it's supposed to look like you're
like out at the club's late, but still getting up
to go to work. And so you got tired.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Girls cheek okay, knock yourselves out.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know if that's actually a trend. And then
this one, because you're in the gym a lot, the
twelve three point thirty treadmill trend that is burning up
TikTok right now, Joe, you do a treadmill where you
put you walk on a twelve incline at a pace
of three miles an hour for thirty minutes twelve three thirty.
An expert say it's even better than running for some reason.
(11:11):
So I don't know, you've never heard of these, But
I mean I mostly do the elliptical, so I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Yeah, I haven't heard of the treadmill trend.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
How about the trend trend? When will the trend trend
end start at that correct. How How many p doctors
SUSSI in there? How many people jump on something on
TikTok before he gets reported in other media as a trend.
That's what I'd like to know. Here's the three How many.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Trend How long does a trend trend before it is
a trend?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Friend, I'll bet today and today only for like the
twelve three thirty trend and the tired girl. Look, I
don't know, it's very popular with young moms us no kidding.
This is huge if it turns out to be true.
New study in which you can talk without the ability
to talk and a computer can pick up on it.
(12:04):
So this guy who had als, couldn't speak anymore, had
electrodes implanted in his brain and with the help of AI.
They'd never been able to do this before. But with
the help of AI picking up on the different signals
and being able to process so much data so fast,
the guy can think words and they come out on
(12:24):
a computer screen.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Wow, that could be really dangerous.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, you're ahead of me on that.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, let's agree on some parameters here.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
But before we get to that, the fact that it
is where was this about? How successful it's been predicted?
Almost six The computer accurately predicted almost six thousand different
words with an accuracy of ninety seven point five percent
in the first trial of this Wow, and they think
it could become a big thing. Immediately they got into
what Katie just brought up, though they don't know how
(12:56):
they or if they could differentiate between things you're just thinking,
like that son of a bitch or you wanted to
say out loud, that son of a bitch.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
God, when's he gonna stop talking? Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Shoot, sorry, no offense, boy, you've gained weight. I didn't,
and I didn't want to say that. I was just
thinking that.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Stupid machine, But that could I mean, what an incredible
tool though for folks with all sorts of maladies that
have made them able to speak as much as I
was in that sense, or or or have difficulty speaking.
I'm thinking his stroke victims in particular.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Unless you're getting all of their unfiltered thoughts that they
didn't mean to say, because then it's a problem because
we all know how our mind just runs, and you
say and think things you don't mean, or things that
are crazy, or you know, all kinds of stuff, and
you don't need that coming out on the Joe. I
(13:59):
was just reading your computer transcript. Why were you contemplating
robbing a bank and figuring out how you could pull
it off?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
No, no, no, no no, I was just thinking about it
as wiling away the afternoon. It sounds like a plot
to me. It's awfully specific. We're gonna need you to
come downtown.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You're planning to do what what? The receptionist when?
Speaker 9 (14:16):
What?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Well, if she'll have me? So I'm thinking about this
and the obvious solution, it's a partial solution, is an
on off button.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Right that the that the tour, the communicy tour, has
control over.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yes, indeed, I mean, for instance, in every radio studio
in America they have a cough what's called the cough button.
I have one next to me right now, and uh
and here I there, I'm turning on and off my
cough button. Excellent, excellent demonstration. Thank you, thank you, Michael.
(14:53):
But here's here's the problem. I'm thinking. Okay, I'm done
thinking it now. I'm going to say it. Why that's
a fine idea, dumb ass, Oh, I didn't press the
button quick enough, because I mean, your thoughts flow so quickly,
you might, you know, get you'd think, Yeah, I'll just
I'll turn it on, communicate when I want to turn
(15:15):
it off.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
But just one word too many? And do you own
a Bari soap? You smell like a horse? Ah, I said,
I didn't want that part to be on the computer scene.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
So but you know, obviously it's a hugely forward. You
could use this machine to read the thoughts of crazy people.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Ooh wow, like the dog is talking to me. That
is fascinating.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Michael is not indulging in our childish hygiene. See, he's
thinking about, you know, incredibly important ways this could be utilized.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I've actually done, Michael.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, of course you have to get the at least
for now, you have to get the electrodes put on
your brain. So that's probably not a minor procedure. This
guy volunteered, the guy with als, And of course you
would if you thought if you couldn't communicate, because he's
communicating with his family now, his wife and his kids,
if you couldn't communicate with your family and you thought
you had a shot at it, yeah, put some electrodes
(16:05):
on my brain.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
So a brief change of topic, we'll get into the
crackdown on free speech in Britain. But you know it's
funny you mentioned breaking news in the New York Times.
They posted this about an hour ago, and this is
now crystal clear what's going on. Russia seeks to add
trade and arms control into Trump Putin talks, trying to
(16:28):
move the diplomatic focus away from Ukraine in two bilateral issues, trade,
strategic stability, the Arctic, et cetera. We have so many
things to talk about, mister president. Let's not restrain ourselves
to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Small country, and Trump might say, I hope, he says,
we'll discuss all that after you read it. A ceasefire,
So let's just talk sea spire until we figure this out. Yeah,
but Greenland and the mineral rights. No, no, no, no, we're
talking about a ceasep, yes or no.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Willing to import to fifty thousand hot Russian women.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
To us, dah Neet says Trump, standing firm right and
hopefully not standing near a window. We got more on
the way, stay here, armstrong and getty here. On his
meeting with Putin at twenty five percent, he continues to
answer questions about that he said a bunch of other
(17:26):
really interesting things just a few minutes ago about the
big summit tomorrow. We'll get to those next segment.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Well, I had put it more seventy five percent, but
he knows more than I do about it. Been sitting
on this great piece by Glenn Reynolds. He's a professor
of law at the University of Tennessee, among other things,
and it includes the concept of preference falsification, which we
have described many times. I'm not sure that's the term
(17:53):
you need to use for it, but we'll explain what
that is in a couple of minutes in a Well,
the piece in it in Toto is about Britain's illegal
immigration crisis and how the damn of opinion on that
is breaking in Britain in spite of the British government's
(18:16):
efforts to crack down on free speech, which has gone
so far in Britain, in Canada, in Australia and New
Zealand are are like closest English speaking cousins have completely
lost their way on this topic. And Ben Shapiro sat
down and talked to Liz Trust who you may recall,
(18:37):
was the Prime Minister of Britain for like a day
and a half, right something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Who will last her longer? Her or this head of Lettuce.
Remember that was the thing with her, right.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah, yeah, she took the reins at a difficult, difficult time.
It's an interesting story, but one we don't really have
time for. But she is still a leading politician. Thinker
in Great Britain will play some excerpts of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But it was sixteen ninety five that the free press
was invented in Britain. That was before the United States
of America was established. We came up with these things
Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights. I find it utterly
shameful that those ancient liberties which have promoted so much
freedom around the world, including I think the Jewel in
(19:20):
the crown the United States of America, have become it
completely bastardized in Britain. I mean, imagine people being arrested
and jailed for a post on.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
X, which is absolutely happening if it causes unrest or
racial disagreement or disharmony or what have you. Roll on, Liz.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Literally, somebody was arrested the other day for mocking a
terrorist who had been bom bombed put as part of
the page work. For mocking a terrorist, they were arrested
and this is not policies that any Parliament has passed.
These are policies that have been come up with by
so called independent bodies, so they're not legitimate, they don't
(20:05):
have the authority of the Electra, but they are being
imposed on the British people. The whole concept of a
non crime hate incident, which sounds completely allwellian. No politician
came up with that. That was invented by the College
of Policing, which is a body that is completely unaccountable of.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
The College of Policing. Yeah, she's talking about the administrative state.
And this is this has been a pretty hot topic
in American you know, law in politics. The idea that
you can appoint a commission and maybe pass a law
even that gives them the authority to come up with
(20:44):
such policies and practices as best to execute Congress's vision
or the Parliament's vision. But the administrative state has gone wild,
run wild. And so now the Policing College or whatever
she referred to it as that commission has said, yes, yes,
to maintain order, we should arrest anyone who says anything
(21:05):
that could cause racial hatred. Yes, and we will decide
what that is. Roland lives.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
We now live in a kind of Orwellian state in
Britain where lots of people are worried about what they say.
And this is the whole purpose. The whole purpose is
to cover up what's going on in our country because
people know there are massive issues with the grooming gangs
of young girls being of the authorities not being held
to account for that. They know that our economy is
(21:35):
in decline. They can see steel works closing down because
of the environmental policies, they can see businesses not being
able to start up, and the authorities and the establishment
don't want people really to know how bad it is,
and that is why they're going for suppressing, distorting, using
the mainstream media to try and cover up this stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, I didn't pay much attention to her during her
thirty days rain as Prime Minister, but I like her
point of view.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Oh yeah, absolutely, and again her whole her trip as
Prime minister is complicated and you'd have to get into
British politics. But anyway, that brings us directly to Glenn Reynolds,
Professor Law, University of Tennessee's piece and preference falsification, which
was exactly what lisztrust was talking about in that last
text or I'm sorry in that last clip. So the
(22:28):
headline is the dam is breaking on Britain's illegal immigration
crisis and the results could be ugly. Britain's labor government
is in trouble. Its program of massive third world immigration
for place like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly overwhelmingly unpopular.
But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that,
despite the best efforts of the Prime Minister Keir Starmer
(22:48):
and his leftist captive media, Britain's Britain's themselves have discovered
just how unpopular it is. You might argue that's absurd.
If mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it.
Everyone doesn't know it because the government has been policing
speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement, or,
(23:10):
worst of all, immigrant crime has been punished as racist
and hate speech by the Starmer regime. The point of
this isn't to reduce racism or hate heck, the censorship
will likely make that worse, but to make it harder
for people to realize just how many of their fellow
citizens feel the same way they do. For years, Britain
has stifled reports of immigrant rape gangs in places like Rotherham,
(23:32):
and has prosecuted those who have called attention to them,
even jailing some. We went into this in great detail
a couple of weeks ago. It's incredibly troubling, and as
the government gives light sentences to child rapists, it's imprisoning
moms for tweets on the ground of quote inciting race hatred.
It's all to construct and maintain something known as preference falsification,
(23:56):
a move usually practiced by authoritarian regimes. The brick is
you make citizens pretend that they believe what the government
says and fake their approval of what it does. You
promote marches and demonstrations and speech in favor of the
government's preferred positions, and you severely punish marches and demonstrations
and speech that oppose the government's favored positions. You give
(24:18):
excuses like stopping counter revolutionary activity or fighting hate speech
for shutting down any opposition. You may even have informers
to ferret out wrong think and report it to the authorities,
or to employers or to third parties who will engage
in extra legal but government supported harassment doxing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
We call it.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
If you do it right. You can have upward of
ninety percent of your population hating you and your policies,
but doing and saying nothing about them because everyone in
the ninety percent thinks they're part of a tiny minority.
Resistance would seem to be feudile, and this works until
it doesn't. So we got our own version of that.
(24:56):
But luckily, at least so far, the government isn't completely in.
You're talking about that earlier because this study that came
out that seventy seven percent of college kids disagreed that
gender identity should override biological sex and sports. Wow, but
would not college kids Almost eighty percent this seventy seven
percent believed what I just said, but would not voice
(25:19):
that disagreement aloud. Three quarters of college students said they
didn't agree with that whole boys and girls sports, but
would not say it out loud.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
So we have a cultural thing on it. You add
on to it a government position like they've gotten Great Britain. Yeah,
you could stifle a lot of thought.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Wow, that's an excellent point. It's an entirely well, it's
the administration, which is the government of a college campus.
Come to think of it, I was gonna say it's
a completely non government enforcement of preference falsification, but just
a different form of government now that I think about it.
And then he gets into some of the particulars of
(25:59):
the British situation that I'll just I'll pick and choose
a couple of them. The problem with preference falsification is
that sooner or later, some event or development can make
people realize that what they've been told is popular is
in fact very unpopular. When this happens, as Duke University
scholar Timor Koran writes in his book Private Truths, Public Lies,
the result is a preference cascade, which a large yeah
(26:22):
when large swaths of the population realize their dissident views
are in fact widely held, they become less afraid of
the government and less hesitant about sharing their true sentiments,
or I would say social pressure, or they become less
afraid of their college administrators, or what have.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
All kinds of stuff, the border, the trans stuff, prominent pronouns,
boys and girls, sports, just saying you like Trump. Remember
after the election, all of a sudden, I saw an
explosion of Trump T shirts and hats and stuff like that,
where people thought, wow, there's way more people agree with
me than I.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Thought right, and all of that is what's happening now
in Britain after string of cases in which migrants sexually
assaulted local girls and women and groomed them and had
raped across the United Kingdom people including large numbers of
middle aged and middle class women, not the far right
skinheads that Starmer and his ill claim stoke all anti
(27:11):
immigrant sentiment. Those women are protesting outside the hotels where
the government is housing illegal immigrants, shouting send them home
and protect our girls. And the demonstrations in the last
two weeks featuring thousands of people carrying Saint George flags
the traditional singbol of England are too big to hide,
and they're cropping up in every corner of the nation.
Largely organized on Facebook and other social media. Starmar's got
(27:35):
in the government controlled media to present its spin and
blackout or soft pedal most bad news. Bad news gets
out in other ways. And he talks about social media.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yea, and things are too overwhelming, like our border situation.
I mean, there's just no way you could hide that.
But it takes a while to get there.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah. He mentions a couple of historical cases, like in
Romania where there was a I got to remember, the
preference falsification, and then a preference preference cascade where it
actually pushed out the dictator. Everybody realized everybody hates him
and they can't kill us all, and they took to
(28:16):
the streets and they took their country back. His conclusion,
the British establishment would have been better served to let
its citizens debate immigration questions openly and fairly. It did
not do so because it knew it would lose such
a debate. Instead, it foisted upon it, foisted open borders
on a nation that didn't want them, then tried to
silence opposition. Now we're watching as the regime's strategy collapses.
(28:39):
Will it end in Starmar's ouster or worse in violence?
Either way, the aftermath will be ugly.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Wow, that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, that's some really good writing. Kudos to Glenn Harlan's
Reynolds of University at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
More to say about that, but I'm sure it'll be
back in the news again before you know it. It's
gonna be around, maybe for the rest of our lifetimes.
Trump just said so pretty important stuff about his meeting
with Putin that will happen tomorrow. We'll get that next.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
The second meeting is going to be very very important.
This meeting sets up It's like a chess game. This
meeting sets up the second meeting. But there is a
twenty five percent chance that this meeting will not be
a successful meeting, which case I will run the country.
And we have made America great again already in six months.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
So Trump in an interview this morning talking about his
meeting with Putin tomorrow. He went on to say in
the interview, I think Putin wants to get it done.
I really feel like he wanted the whole thing. I
think if it weren't me, if it was somebody else,
he would not be talking to anybody. I'm the toughest
one he's ever had to deal with. He's never had
to deal with anybody like me. Trump has got to
(29:52):
throw in there in his usual way, and he.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Also self aggrandizing but also accurate.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
And that he's never had to nobody's ever dealt with
anything with anybody like you. That's true. Trump said that
a successful meeting tomorrow could result in him staying in
Alaska to host the follow up meeting with Zelensky. I
wonder if the Secret Service was like what we might
be what. Okay, I guess we've a find a hotel,
clear that out and everything.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Wow. I mean I haven't heard, but I assume Trump's
flying there tomorrow or is he going today and spending
the night in Anchorage. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I haven't heard, but boy, that's so interesting. I've never
heard of anything like that, saying look, let's get together
and if it's.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Worth it, we'll just stay. You'll hash this out. I
now believe he's convinced he's going to make a deal.
I'm going to know very quickly, he said. Trump described
the high profile encounter as a preliminary step toward peace,
saying I don't know that we're going to get an
(30:56):
immediate cease fire, but I think it's going to come
depending on what happens with my meeting. I'm gonna call
President Zolensky and let's get him over here for wherever
we're gonna meet. I don't know where we're gonna have
the second meeting, but we have an idea of three
different locations will be including the possibility because it would
be the easiest of just staying in Alaska. Well, if
(31:18):
if like you, and I think Putin's entire goal is
to drag this out. Even if he ultimately plans on
doing some sort of deal, he wants to drag it
out as long as possible.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, because he's.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Still fighting a war and you know, and he wants
to put off the sanctions and everything like that. So
the idea of sure, let's just meet tomorrow and bringing
Zelensky seems like a complete zero percent chance to me.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, yeah, the only way that would like conceivably work
is if he, as I was saying earlier, includes Ukraine
in a big package of issues that's so attractive to Trump.
Trump thinks, yeah, okay, yeah, let's get that quick Gland
swap going with Ukraine. Then let's do all this other stuff.
It's good for the country, it's good for the economy,
(32:01):
blah blah blah, it makes me look great. Let's get
this done. But then, of course, the sticking point is
Zelenski's going to come in. The Ukrainian people are going
to say uh no, and Europe too, for that matter.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Trump then said, if it's a bad meeting, I'm not
calling anybody. I'm going home.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
He did say that take to get from DC to Anchorage.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
On Air Force one. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know how fast they fly. Do they get
to fly like because they don't have to worry about
how much fuel they use like normal airlines, your plane
could fly faster, that just would take so much fuel
and costs so much. But he doesn't have to worry
about that. He did say I would say I'll have
a press conference in either event, but I'm not going
(32:52):
to call anybody. I'm just going to go home. If
it's a negative, I'll have a press conference to say
that the war is going to go on and these
people are horribly going to continue to shoot each other
and kill each other, and I think it's a disgrace,
and I'll head back to Washington.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Yeah, I don't see Putin participating in the press conference.
The more I think about it, I guess it's been
the news has been floated that yes, they're going to
have one with both of them, But the pewteral beeg
off unless he thinks he can score propaganda points. But
I'll be very surprised if he's there.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Trump said this, which I'm sure i'll see on the
critics cable channels today I've stopped six wars this year.
This was going to be one of my easy ones,
but it never worked out that way. This turns out
to be probably the most difficult. Yeah. I think a
lot of people thought it was going to be pretty difficult.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
It was going to be one of the easy ones.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
In your head.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Maybe I loved the way he talks about that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's so refreshing compared to the whole so guarded, don't
want to say the wrong thing. They never say anything BSD.
You get out of most politics if it goes poorly.
I'm not calling anybody. I'm going home. Yeah, yep, here's
your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Let's get a final thought from the whole crew. How
about that? Michael Angelow lead us off from the control
room hit.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
It just remind people that tomorrow at three point thirty
Eastern is when they meet, and so after that you
can start watching for news and stuff. And also if
the second meeting, if there is a second meeting, then
they get to be buddies. Maybe they will working Anchorage
McDonald's together for pres wouldn't that be cool?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Trump did that campaign stunt? Yes, fabulous? Good times Katie
Green are a steam Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
I think to take Putin down a couple of notches. True,
Trump should start calling him Pooter.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Wow, give him a nickname.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
That's it. Yeah, exactly. My fine final thought. I want
him to treat Putin like he treated Rand Paul in
the debate. I wanted to be just like picture Chris
Christie's head on Putin's body when you're talking Trump, that's
the way to do it.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
How about this friend nickname Pooh Pooh.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yes, poopole over there wants to kill children.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
So my final thought, I didn't get back to this
the whole Washington DC conspiracy to lower their crime rates
by misreporting crimes. I'm looking at one of the transcripts
from an undercover recording and they're literally saying to each other,
all right, so the way we lower crime rates is
to change how we report crimes, right right? I mean
(35:34):
it's ABC one, two, three, absolutely clear. But the mainstream
media has been reporting Trump goes crazy because crime is
actually way down. Washington DC ignoring this lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
So many people to thanks a little time go to
Armstrong in Getty dot com. A lot of great clicks

Speaker 2 (36:21):
You made it right. Moders riding a long time Armstrong

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And Getty and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Confer by Trump Press secretary. There will be a press
conference Putin and Trump side by side talking to the
media after they discussed tomorrow. Wowser's looking forward to that.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Crazy to see this drama playing out in front of
the scenes at least a lot more than we're used to. Yeah, wow,
wild Well, we'll track it for you and certainly be
talking about it on Monday as the dust settles. So
the deep red state of South Carolina is in play.
(00:54):
According to the Democrats, They've got a good shot at
becoming governor and perhaps cracking that red wall in the South,
one of their great hopes. Two time Charleston County Democratic
Party chairman and current gubernatorial candidate William mcclaud junior popular fellow,
Let's listen into how his campaign is going to Will you.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Get charge?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hey, Taren Matthew my friends started.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, so, uh that was sober modulated. I couldn't really
understand what he was saying.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What is happening? Here.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
That was the point. He was in the back of
a cop car, bellowing like a lunatic about something about
God's grace. But he won't give you any slack. Your
crimes are against humanity. Then he calms down suddenly and inexplicably,
in the tradition of drug crazed lunatics everywhere. I think
it was drugs. And I said, by the way.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So he's in the back of the police car because
he's under arrest.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yes, he was charged with public disorderly conduct and booked
into jail because he was going berserk. I guess there's
thirty five minutes of police footage of the gubernatorial candidate
as they transported him from the downtown area. Beautiful, historic
(02:35):
downtown Charleston. If you've never visited, please do. I urge
you to to the detention center. I believe he calms
down somewhat in this next clip.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It doesn't matter, my friend. Trust me, I'm one of
the most just humans to ever. Okay, tell me your name,
I'm just you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, Well, we tried.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We've all tried more. Give me Superman. Sounds good. I'm
Superman John Doe. Now you know what John does. Fine, Okay, John,
Doe's fine. I don't give him. Just get these shackles
off of me.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So, Joe, you got me right, Just get this.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
My name did matter.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
If you keep backing like this, the jails just gonna
put you in more.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I don't care worse.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, good luck you, miss ade.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Mister McLeod mentions names such as former President Barack Obama,
Attorney General Alan Wilson of South Carolina, President Donald Trump,
and other prominent South Carolinians. Of Wilson, I think is
this part of no? I don't think all right, h
of Wilson, the Republican who's also running to be South
Carolina's next governor. McLeod threatens to kick his teeth in
(03:47):
before rambling on and fing Wilson. I'm daring you right now,
mother Effor, when you've got all the teeth in your mouth,
you better be in front of the People's House, which
my cousin used.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
To have the wheel.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You better be outside old under press conference tone, the
effing world ahead. You win until you win. Conversation we
had u mfor that's hard to argue with. So so
is this and the only reason if you can't take.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Your the look I might I might good chase some
case mother, if you don't, Jay Ditchington.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I'm talking.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So I want you to get a second round of
kicking those teeth in because your father said.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And never had.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
To dad in all of states to do it the
people's work.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I want to do that work for you.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Why six night.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Sean.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
He also mentions Nancy amid his rants. It's not immediately
clear whether he meant gubernatorial candidate US Representative Nancy Mace,
but he goes on to say he would ca her
teeth into.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well, that's a threat. That's probably not a good thing
to do. He probably shouldn't threat US senators like that.
So do we have a sense of how much of
this is a drug or booze related and how much
of it is your crackpot, complete crackpot.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
It's not clear from the report.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Reminds me of somebody I heard say the other day
that when they used to drink, they whenever I drank,
I wasn't gonna stop until either cried or fought. That's
where he was. He's kind of like getting to the
cry part. He'd gone through the fight part.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Right. The State Democratic Party has for some reason distanced
itself from his candidacy quote. After reviewing the transcript of
the dashcam footage from his recent arrest, this clear mister
McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his
mental and emotional well being instead of a campaign for governor.
We offer him compassion and pray he finds the support
(05:57):
he needs. In response to the teeth kicking in threat
against mister Wilson, one of the candidates, he replied, the
first Democrat to join the governor's race, that he wants
to kick my teeth in. I'm going to give him
the benefit of the doubt and assume he means in
a general election, not a street fight. My plan for
(06:17):
bold conservative leadership is spreading, and my record of defending Trump,
parental rights and the rule of law is put a
target on my back. But I'm not slowing down and
I'm not done fighting for South Carolina families. Oh my golly,
(06:43):
it's got an interesting speaking styl.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Does he air like it's kind of like howardly?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Give up a left?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right very much, my cowardly lion.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Oh wasted.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He only had a heart. The lion needed a heart, right, Uh, courage, courage,
that's right, obviously, he's got the courage.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
To cook people's teeth in and argue with cops our stupidity.
Either way, good luck in your future endeavors, sir.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The tin Man needed a heart, The Scarecrow needed a brain. Yes, sir, okay,
I'm on it.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Toto needed you know, a little walkies, a little little
trip outside there for a minute, Dorothy, Hey, you get
a dog here. Let's not forget that.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Uh got a couple of trends we need to ask
Katie about to figure out if they're actually a trend
or not.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
There was a trend cracking down on free speech in
Great Britain.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh I want to hear that. Yikes, God, that's so
crazy that that the so much of the world is
going in that direction.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yipes in our buddies too. I mean that the countries
we assumed were a lot like us.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
The Grand Experiment has begun.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, it has awesome. So we'll get to the trends
and the cracking down on free speach in Great Britain.
All on the way, stay here, Armstrong and on a
level four disturbance. Now. They said they had him restrained,
he broke out, and their passengers.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Holding him down there The Breeze Airways flight was traveling
from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles. Police say they were
told the passenger was intoxicated, yelling racial slurs at the
flight attendants and waving around a skateboard. According to air
traffic control audio, the passenger was restrained two separate times,
but broke free both times, The plane then declaring an
emergency and diverting to Grand Junction, Colorado, where the airline
(08:42):
says it was met promptly by local law enforcement officers
who restrained and removed the passenger from the aircraft.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Nice job of tying him up. Level four disturbance. So
we don't have any idea if it's a one to
ten scale or a one to four scale, or of
one's worse than tens of b We don't have any idea.
Maybe four is the least and one's the biggest. I
feel like a guy who's swinging a skateboard which is
basically like a bat or something like that, and screaming
(09:11):
like that and being a lunatict is broken out twice
should be the practically the top level whatever it is,
I'm guessing it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Is, unless you know there's a guy with a gun
is like five. This is clearly a hijacking. God help
us all.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'm surprised somebody didn't take him down quicker, because I mean,
if you're swinging a skateboard near my head, I got
to do something just as a self protective measure. But
at one point, if you've seen the video, this very
large gentleman, and I mean he's like NFL big, comes up,
picks him up like a little kid, and takes him
back and says sit down. And that was the end
of it till they landed in Grand Junction and was
(09:46):
let off the plane. So wow, a large gentleman took
care of the situation.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I've got some unbelievable breaking news from the New York
Times that I want to get to. I don't know
if I'll have time here, but because I wanted to
mention these two trends, and I ask Katie if she
knows anything about you never know if a no TikTok
trend is a big deal or nothing. First, this one
tired girl as a look that's me every day, the
(10:18):
tired girl look. Apparently some young starlet I've never heard
of has popularized looking really tired. So people are putting
on makeup to make yourself look more pale, and your
hair's messed up, and you're like, your eyes are readiness.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
They're trying to look like Jenna Ortega Wednesday Adams, because
the new Wednesday just came out on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The tired girl looks it's supposed to look like you're
like out at the club's late, but still getting up
to go to work. And so you got tired.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Girls cheek okay, knock yourselves out.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know if that's actually a trend. And then
this one, because you're in the gym a lot, the
twelve three point thirty treadmill trend that is burning up
TikTok right now, Joe, you do a treadmill where you
put you walk on a twelve incline at a pace
of three miles an hour for thirty minutes twelve three thirty.
An expert say it's even better than running for some reason.
(11:11):
So I don't know, you've never heard of these, But
I mean I mostly do the elliptical, so I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Yeah, I haven't heard of the treadmill trend.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
How about the trend trend? When will the trend trend
end start at that correct. How How many p doctors
SUSSI in there? How many people jump on something on
TikTok before he gets reported in other media as a trend.
That's what I'd like to know. Here's the three How many.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Trend How long does a trend trend before it is
a trend?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Friend, I'll bet today and today only for like the
twelve three thirty trend and the tired girl. Look, I
don't know, it's very popular with young moms us no kidding.
This is huge if it turns out to be true.
New study in which you can talk without the ability
to talk and a computer can pick up on it.
(12:04):
So this guy who had als, couldn't speak anymore, had
electrodes implanted in his brain and with the help of AI.
They'd never been able to do this before. But with
the help of AI picking up on the different signals
and being able to process so much data so fast,
the guy can think words and they come out on
(12:24):
a computer screen.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Wow, that could be really dangerous.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, you're ahead of me on that.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, let's agree on some parameters here.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
But before we get to that, the fact that it
is where was this about? How successful it's been predicted?
Almost six The computer accurately predicted almost six thousand different
words with an accuracy of ninety seven point five percent
in the first trial of this Wow, and they think
it could become a big thing. Immediately they got into
what Katie just brought up, though they don't know how
(12:56):
they or if they could differentiate between things you're just thinking,
like that son of a bitch or you wanted to
say out loud, that son of a bitch.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
God, when's he gonna stop talking? Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Shoot, sorry, no offense, boy, you've gained weight. I didn't,
and I didn't want to say that. I was just
thinking that.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Stupid machine, But that could I mean, what an incredible
tool though for folks with all sorts of maladies that
have made them able to speak as much as I
was in that sense, or or or have difficulty speaking.
I'm thinking his stroke victims in particular.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Unless you're getting all of their unfiltered thoughts that they
didn't mean to say, because then it's a problem because
we all know how our mind just runs, and you
say and think things you don't mean, or things that
are crazy, or you know, all kinds of stuff, and
you don't need that coming out on the Joe. I
(13:59):
was just reading your computer transcript. Why were you contemplating
robbing a bank and figuring out how you could pull
it off?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
No, no, no, no no, I was just thinking about it
as wiling away the afternoon. It sounds like a plot
to me. It's awfully specific. We're gonna need you to
come downtown.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You're planning to do what what? The receptionist when?
Speaker 9 (14:16):
What?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Well, if she'll have me? So I'm thinking about this
and the obvious solution, it's a partial solution, is an
on off button.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Right that the that the tour, the communicy tour, has
control over.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yes, indeed, I mean, for instance, in every radio studio
in America they have a cough what's called the cough button.
I have one next to me right now, and uh
and here I there, I'm turning on and off my
cough button. Excellent, excellent demonstration. Thank you, thank you, Michael.
(14:53):
But here's here's the problem. I'm thinking. Okay, I'm done
thinking it now. I'm going to say it. Why that's
a fine idea, dumb ass, Oh, I didn't press the
button quick enough, because I mean, your thoughts flow so quickly,
you might, you know, get you'd think, Yeah, I'll just
I'll turn it on, communicate when I want to turn
(15:15):
it off.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
But just one word too many? And do you own
a Bari soap? You smell like a horse? Ah, I said,
I didn't want that part to be on the computer scene.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
So but you know, obviously it's a hugely forward. You
could use this machine to read the thoughts of crazy people.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Ooh wow, like the dog is talking to me. That
is fascinating.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Michael is not indulging in our childish hygiene. See, he's
thinking about, you know, incredibly important ways this could be utilized.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I've actually done, Michael.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, of course you have to get the at least
for now, you have to get the electrodes put on
your brain. So that's probably not a minor procedure. This
guy volunteered, the guy with als, And of course you
would if you thought if you couldn't communicate, because he's
communicating with his family now, his wife and his kids,
if you couldn't communicate with your family and you thought
you had a shot at it, yeah, put some electrodes
(16:05):
on my brain.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
So a brief change of topic, we'll get into the
crackdown on free speech in Britain. But you know it's
funny you mentioned breaking news in the New York Times.
They posted this about an hour ago, and this is
now crystal clear what's going on. Russia seeks to add
trade and arms control into Trump Putin talks, trying to
(16:28):
move the diplomatic focus away from Ukraine in two bilateral issues, trade,
strategic stability, the Arctic, et cetera. We have so many
things to talk about, mister president. Let's not restrain ourselves
to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Small country, and Trump might say, I hope, he says,
we'll discuss all that after you read it. A ceasefire,
So let's just talk sea spire until we figure this out. Yeah,
but Greenland and the mineral rights. No, no, no, no, we're
talking about a ceasep, yes or no.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Willing to import to fifty thousand hot Russian women.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
To us, dah Neet says Trump, standing firm right and
hopefully not standing near a window. We got more on
the way, stay here, armstrong and getty here. On his
meeting with Putin at twenty five percent, he continues to
answer questions about that he said a bunch of other
(17:26):
really interesting things just a few minutes ago about the
big summit tomorrow. We'll get to those next segment.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Well, I had put it more seventy five percent, but
he knows more than I do about it. Been sitting
on this great piece by Glenn Reynolds. He's a professor
of law at the University of Tennessee, among other things,
and it includes the concept of preference falsification, which we
have described many times. I'm not sure that's the term
(17:53):
you need to use for it, but we'll explain what
that is in a couple of minutes in a Well,
the piece in it in Toto is about Britain's illegal
immigration crisis and how the damn of opinion on that
is breaking in Britain in spite of the British government's
(18:16):
efforts to crack down on free speech, which has gone
so far in Britain, in Canada, in Australia and New
Zealand are are like closest English speaking cousins have completely
lost their way on this topic. And Ben Shapiro sat
down and talked to Liz Trust who you may recall,
(18:37):
was the Prime Minister of Britain for like a day
and a half, right something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Who will last her longer? Her or this head of Lettuce.
Remember that was the thing with her, right.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah, yeah, she took the reins at a difficult, difficult time.
It's an interesting story, but one we don't really have
time for. But she is still a leading politician. Thinker
in Great Britain will play some excerpts of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But it was sixteen ninety five that the free press
was invented in Britain. That was before the United States
of America was established. We came up with these things
Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights. I find it utterly
shameful that those ancient liberties which have promoted so much
freedom around the world, including I think the Jewel in
(19:20):
the crown the United States of America, have become it
completely bastardized in Britain. I mean, imagine people being arrested
and jailed for a post on.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
X, which is absolutely happening if it causes unrest or
racial disagreement or disharmony or what have you. Roll on, Liz.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Literally, somebody was arrested the other day for mocking a
terrorist who had been bom bombed put as part of
the page work. For mocking a terrorist, they were arrested
and this is not policies that any Parliament has passed.
These are policies that have been come up with by
so called independent bodies, so they're not legitimate, they don't
(20:05):
have the authority of the Electra, but they are being
imposed on the British people. The whole concept of a
non crime hate incident, which sounds completely allwellian. No politician
came up with that. That was invented by the College
of Policing, which is a body that is completely unaccountable of.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
The College of Policing. Yeah, she's talking about the administrative state.
And this is this has been a pretty hot topic
in American you know, law in politics. The idea that
you can appoint a commission and maybe pass a law
even that gives them the authority to come up with
(20:44):
such policies and practices as best to execute Congress's vision
or the Parliament's vision. But the administrative state has gone wild,
run wild. And so now the Policing College or whatever
she referred to it as that commission has said, yes, yes,
to maintain order, we should arrest anyone who says anything
(21:05):
that could cause racial hatred. Yes, and we will decide
what that is. Roland lives.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
We now live in a kind of Orwellian state in
Britain where lots of people are worried about what they say.
And this is the whole purpose. The whole purpose is
to cover up what's going on in our country because
people know there are massive issues with the grooming gangs
of young girls being of the authorities not being held
to account for that. They know that our economy is
(21:35):
in decline. They can see steel works closing down because
of the environmental policies, they can see businesses not being
able to start up, and the authorities and the establishment
don't want people really to know how bad it is,
and that is why they're going for suppressing, distorting, using
the mainstream media to try and cover up this stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Well, I didn't pay much attention to her during her
thirty days rain as Prime Minister, but I like her
point of view.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Oh yeah, absolutely, and again her whole her trip as
Prime minister is complicated and you'd have to get into
British politics. But anyway, that brings us directly to Glenn Reynolds,
Professor Law, University of Tennessee's piece and preference falsification, which
was exactly what lisztrust was talking about in that last
text or I'm sorry in that last clip. So the
(22:28):
headline is the dam is breaking on Britain's illegal immigration
crisis and the results could be ugly. Britain's labor government
is in trouble. Its program of massive third world immigration
for place like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly overwhelmingly unpopular.
But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that,
despite the best efforts of the Prime Minister Keir Starmer
(22:48):
and his leftist captive media, Britain's Britain's themselves have discovered
just how unpopular it is. You might argue that's absurd.
If mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it.
Everyone doesn't know it because the government has been policing
speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement, or,
(23:10):
worst of all, immigrant crime has been punished as racist
and hate speech by the Starmer regime. The point of
this isn't to reduce racism or hate heck, the censorship
will likely make that worse, but to make it harder
for people to realize just how many of their fellow
citizens feel the same way they do. For years, Britain
has stifled reports of immigrant rape gangs in places like Rotherham,
(23:32):
and has prosecuted those who have called attention to them,
even jailing some. We went into this in great detail
a couple of weeks ago. It's incredibly troubling, and as
the government gives light sentences to child rapists, it's imprisoning
moms for tweets on the ground of quote inciting race hatred.
It's all to construct and maintain something known as preference falsification,
(23:56):
a move usually practiced by authoritarian regimes. The brick is
you make citizens pretend that they believe what the government
says and fake their approval of what it does. You
promote marches and demonstrations and speech in favor of the
government's preferred positions, and you severely punish marches and demonstrations
and speech that oppose the government's favored positions. You give
(24:18):
excuses like stopping counter revolutionary activity or fighting hate speech
for shutting down any opposition. You may even have informers
to ferret out wrong think and report it to the authorities,
or to employers or to third parties who will engage
in extra legal but government supported harassment doxing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
We call it.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
If you do it right. You can have upward of
ninety percent of your population hating you and your policies,
but doing and saying nothing about them because everyone in
the ninety percent thinks they're part of a tiny minority.
Resistance would seem to be feudile, and this works until
it doesn't. So we got our own version of that.
(24:56):
But luckily, at least so far, the government isn't completely in.
You're talking about that earlier because this study that came
out that seventy seven percent of college kids disagreed that
gender identity should override biological sex and sports. Wow, but
would not college kids Almost eighty percent this seventy seven
percent believed what I just said, but would not voice
(25:19):
that disagreement aloud. Three quarters of college students said they
didn't agree with that whole boys and girls sports, but
would not say it out loud.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
So we have a cultural thing on it. You add
on to it a government position like they've gotten Great Britain. Yeah,
you could stifle a lot of thought.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Wow, that's an excellent point. It's an entirely well, it's
the administration, which is the government of a college campus.
Come to think of it, I was gonna say it's
a completely non government enforcement of preference falsification, but just
a different form of government now that I think about it.
And then he gets into some of the particulars of
(25:59):
the British situation that I'll just I'll pick and choose
a couple of them. The problem with preference falsification is
that sooner or later, some event or development can make
people realize that what they've been told is popular is
in fact very unpopular. When this happens, as Duke University
scholar Timor Koran writes in his book Private Truths, Public Lies,
the result is a preference cascade, which a large yeah
(26:22):
when large swaths of the population realize their dissident views
are in fact widely held, they become less afraid of
the government and less hesitant about sharing their true sentiments,
or I would say social pressure, or they become less
afraid of their college administrators, or what have.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
All kinds of stuff, the border, the trans stuff, prominent pronouns,
boys and girls, sports, just saying you like Trump. Remember
after the election, all of a sudden, I saw an
explosion of Trump T shirts and hats and stuff like that,
where people thought, wow, there's way more people agree with
me than I.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Thought right, and all of that is what's happening now
in Britain after string of cases in which migrants sexually
assaulted local girls and women and groomed them and had
raped across the United Kingdom people including large numbers of
middle aged and middle class women, not the far right
skinheads that Starmer and his ill claim stoke all anti
(27:11):
immigrant sentiment. Those women are protesting outside the hotels where
the government is housing illegal immigrants, shouting send them home
and protect our girls. And the demonstrations in the last
two weeks featuring thousands of people carrying Saint George flags
the traditional singbol of England are too big to hide,
and they're cropping up in every corner of the nation.
Largely organized on Facebook and other social media. Starmar's got
(27:35):
in the government controlled media to present its spin and
blackout or soft pedal most bad news. Bad news gets
out in other ways. And he talks about social media.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yea, and things are too overwhelming, like our border situation.
I mean, there's just no way you could hide that.
But it takes a while to get there.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah. He mentions a couple of historical cases, like in
Romania where there was a I got to remember, the
preference falsification, and then a preference preference cascade where it
actually pushed out the dictator. Everybody realized everybody hates him
and they can't kill us all, and they took to
(28:16):
the streets and they took their country back. His conclusion,
the British establishment would have been better served to let
its citizens debate immigration questions openly and fairly. It did
not do so because it knew it would lose such
a debate. Instead, it foisted upon it, foisted open borders
on a nation that didn't want them, then tried to
silence opposition. Now we're watching as the regime's strategy collapses.
(28:39):
Will it end in Starmar's ouster or worse in violence?
Either way, the aftermath will be ugly.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Wow, that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, that's some really good writing. Kudos to Glenn Harlan's
Reynolds of University at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
More to say about that, but I'm sure it'll be
back in the news again before you know it. It's
gonna be around, maybe for the rest of our lifetimes.
Trump just said so pretty important stuff about his meeting
with Putin that will happen tomorrow. We'll get that next.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
The second meeting is going to be very very important.
This meeting sets up It's like a chess game. This
meeting sets up the second meeting. But there is a
twenty five percent chance that this meeting will not be
a successful meeting, which case I will run the country.
And we have made America great again already in six months.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
So Trump in an interview this morning talking about his
meeting with Putin tomorrow. He went on to say in
the interview, I think Putin wants to get it done.
I really feel like he wanted the whole thing. I
think if it weren't me, if it was somebody else,
he would not be talking to anybody. I'm the toughest
one he's ever had to deal with. He's never had
to deal with anybody like me. Trump has got to
(29:52):
throw in there in his usual way, and he.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Also self aggrandizing but also accurate.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
And that he's never had to nobody's ever dealt with
anything with anybody like you. That's true. Trump said that
a successful meeting tomorrow could result in him staying in
Alaska to host the follow up meeting with Zelensky. I
wonder if the Secret Service was like what we might
be what. Okay, I guess we've a find a hotel,
clear that out and everything.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Wow. I mean I haven't heard, but I assume Trump's
flying there tomorrow or is he going today and spending
the night in Anchorage. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I haven't heard, but boy, that's so interesting. I've never
heard of anything like that, saying look, let's get together
and if it's.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Worth it, we'll just stay. You'll hash this out. I
now believe he's convinced he's going to make a deal.
I'm going to know very quickly, he said. Trump described
the high profile encounter as a preliminary step toward peace,
saying I don't know that we're going to get an
(30:56):
immediate cease fire, but I think it's going to come
depending on what happens with my meeting. I'm gonna call
President Zolensky and let's get him over here for wherever
we're gonna meet. I don't know where we're gonna have
the second meeting, but we have an idea of three
different locations will be including the possibility because it would
be the easiest of just staying in Alaska. Well, if
(31:18):
if like you, and I think Putin's entire goal is
to drag this out. Even if he ultimately plans on
doing some sort of deal, he wants to drag it
out as long as possible.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, because he's.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Still fighting a war and you know, and he wants
to put off the sanctions and everything like that. So
the idea of sure, let's just meet tomorrow and bringing
Zelensky seems like a complete zero percent chance to me.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, yeah, the only way that would like conceivably work
is if he, as I was saying earlier, includes Ukraine
in a big package of issues that's so attractive to Trump.
Trump thinks, yeah, okay, yeah, let's get that quick Gland
swap going with Ukraine. Then let's do all this other stuff.
It's good for the country, it's good for the economy,
(32:01):
blah blah blah, it makes me look great. Let's get
this done. But then, of course, the sticking point is
Zelenski's going to come in. The Ukrainian people are going
to say uh no, and Europe too, for that matter.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Trump then said, if it's a bad meeting, I'm not
calling anybody. I'm going home.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
He did say that take to get from DC to Anchorage.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
On Air Force one. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know how fast they fly. Do they get
to fly like because they don't have to worry about
how much fuel they use like normal airlines, your plane
could fly faster, that just would take so much fuel
and costs so much. But he doesn't have to worry
about that. He did say I would say I'll have
a press conference in either event, but I'm not going
(32:52):
to call anybody. I'm just going to go home. If
it's a negative, I'll have a press conference to say
that the war is going to go on and these
people are horribly going to continue to shoot each other
and kill each other, and I think it's a disgrace,
and I'll head back to Washington.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Yeah, I don't see Putin participating in the press conference.
The more I think about it, I guess it's been
the news has been floated that yes, they're going to
have one with both of them, But the pewteral beeg
off unless he thinks he can score propaganda points. But
I'll be very surprised if he's there.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Trump said this, which I'm sure i'll see on the
critics cable channels today I've stopped six wars this year.
This was going to be one of my easy ones,
but it never worked out that way. This turns out
to be probably the most difficult. Yeah. I think a
lot of people thought it was going to be pretty difficult.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
It was going to be one of the easy ones.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
In your head.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Maybe I loved the way he talks about that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's so refreshing compared to the whole so guarded, don't
want to say the wrong thing. They never say anything BSD.
You get out of most politics if it goes poorly.
I'm not calling anybody. I'm going home. Yeah, yep, here's
your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Let's get a final thought from the whole crew. How
about that? Michael Angelow lead us off from the control
room hit.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
It just remind people that tomorrow at three point thirty
Eastern is when they meet, and so after that you
can start watching for news and stuff. And also if
the second meeting, if there is a second meeting, then
they get to be buddies. Maybe they will working Anchorage
McDonald's together for pres wouldn't that be cool?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Trump did that campaign stunt? Yes, fabulous? Good times Katie
Green are a steam Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
I think to take Putin down a couple of notches. True,
Trump should start calling him Pooter.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Wow, give him a nickname.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
That's it. Yeah, exactly. My fine final thought. I want
him to treat Putin like he treated Rand Paul in
the debate. I wanted to be just like picture Chris
Christie's head on Putin's body when you're talking Trump, that's
the way to do it.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
How about this friend nickname Pooh Pooh.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yes, poopole over there wants to kill children.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
So my final thought, I didn't get back to this
the whole Washington DC conspiracy to lower their crime rates
by misreporting crimes. I'm looking at one of the transcripts
from an undercover recording and they're literally saying to each other,
all right, so the way we lower crime rates is
to change how we report crimes, right right? I mean
(35:34):
it's ABC one, two, three, absolutely clear. But the mainstream
media has been reporting Trump goes crazy because crime is
actually way down. Washington DC ignoring this lawsuit.
