Speaker 1 (00:00):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong
and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
So the jury selection begins today in the trial of
that nutjob who was gonna kill Trump at the golf
course and got way too close to being able to
pull it off. And he was in the bushes with
a rifle, just needed to wait a little longer before
they came down walking down the fairway.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Holy crap.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But anyway, I called him a nutjob because he's actually crazy.
He is representing himself and the three things he asked
the judge for were strippers, a putting green, and he
wanted to challenge Donald Trump to eighteen whole round of
(01:09):
golf where if he lost, Trump gets to execute him,
but if he wins, he gets Trump's job, which would
be an odd arrangement.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's a stretch constitutionally speaking, but I could see it happening.
Did he mention whether it would be match player stroke play?
Probably not significant back to you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I think Trump should take him up on it, because
I bet Trump could beat him.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's the guy spends a little time with that Putting
Green gets his stroke all locked in. Who knows the
strippers are difficult? I mean it's you know, maybe he
just likes naked women, but seems like an odd request.
Has the judge ruled on his requests? Anyway, they're selecting
the jury today. I wouldn't mind being on that jury.
I'd be a pretty interesting trial looking at him, that
(01:54):
guy's crazy background, and then also probably getting quite a
bit of information on things the secrets Servis did well and
maybe not well in that situation. I don't know. The
defense countered with a Putting Green, a Llama, and a
foot race against jad events the judges expected to rule
different topic.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So remember the jobs numbers came out on Friday and
they were quite low and below expectations, and a lot
of the mainstream media beaten up Trump over his tariff
policies destroying America and blah blah blah, And I don't
know anything about that other than this. Kevin Hassett, one
of Trump's economic advisors, was on Face the Nation yesterday.
(02:39):
He is one of Trump's best spokespeople in this Kevin
Hassett should get on more shows because he's really good
at it, explaining once again as they had explained a
month prior about how there's just the methodology for the
jobs numbers thing is just all over the place.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And this was himle and face, the nation has.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Job creation installed and should the Federal Reserve be concerned
about the jobs picture?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Right?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, first of all, the interesting thing about the jobs numbers,
right is that they had the biggest revisions in fifty
years over the summer, and we came in with twenty
two thousand in August. But if you look at what
they said in twenty three and twenty four, they have
two ways of estimating the jobs. There's something called the
payroll survey where they asked the employers how many people
(03:25):
did you hire? That they have something called the household
survey where they call up people they say do you
have a job. And over those two years, the payroll
numbers said that we created four and a half million jobs,
and the household survey said about two million. Fewer about
two and a half million jobs. And they should have
the same answer.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So one is like double the other number. And as
he's pointing out, when you've got that level of which
one is, right, Someng's got to get fixed.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, yeah, you got to look at that and say, hey,
one of these is wildly wrong, right or of fun?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, and I just wanted to get that on because
you don't you haven't heard that from anybody.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, that's that's cuckoonuts. You're not Why are you collecting
that data? It's just just make up a number. It
saves time. Well that was his point a month ago. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, And Brennan's attempted pushback was because he started trouting
out some numbers and her pushback was, oh, you believe
those numbers but not these, And he said, well, there
aren't altered numbers for the ones I just mentioned that
are like wildly different the number that you're talking about.
There are two ways to measure it, and they're completely
(04:38):
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah. I wouldn't argue therefore the job market's great, because
there's every sign in the world that it's not. But
that is interesting because so much hay is made of
those numbers every time they come out. Yeah, so that's that.
Just thought that was interesting. That is that I thought
(05:00):
I thought you said you had something else. No, I
did not to go with I said that I misspoke. Well,
you misled us. Then my other thing to.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Go with it was talking about the trial, which I
laid out the oh right right, the demands the Kukula
guy wanted the strippers the putting green.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
In the golf match with the president, did he say,
like how many strippers or in what like setting? Just plurals?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So I guess somewhere between two and a thousand, But
performing in his cell, would he be transported to the strip?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I'd like to know as more about his his specific
as bailiffs. Now that is sexy, you've been naughty, et cetera.
Uh so, uh Jack, Earlier we were talking about the
trump renaming of the Department of Defense the war, and
(05:55):
you were going to explain to us the origin actually
of the original change, which was in I think nineteen
forty seven or something like that, shortly after World War Two.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, I thought it was kind of interesting. I had
always thought it was just a a name change, and
it just seemed like a better idea to we'll defend
ourselves if we're attacked, but we're not going out trying
to attack people.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, mean, the war was so horrible in so many ways,
I thought maybe people just let's not go around talking
about war casually. This is what I've always assumed.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
If you're a history fan, you know that back in
the day, pre Department of Defense, there was things called
the Secretary of the Navy.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You had your own secretary with the Navy and the army.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What happened after World War Two is they decided there's
a whole bunch of different stuff we need to bring
together in one department and have one person in charge
over that. And so it wasn't just a renaming the
Department of War to the Department of Defense. They created
a different department that included the Department of War, and
then all these other different things things intelligence and all
(07:01):
different stuff into defense and uh and and so it's
kind of like they brought various things together after nine
to eleven and then had a D and I so
that that makes sense to me.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
It was a different thing at that point.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't think it's It doesn't bother me at all
that they change it back to the Department of War.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't think it's a major deal. And I actually
kind of like the putting up with your s attitude
of the name of it. But it wasn't just a
name change back in the day. Also during the court
when we realized it was a cold war was what
we were headed into. It really was going to be
(07:39):
more about defending ourselves than prosecuting a war. But again,
I think it's a minor deal. Yeah, I would agree
interesting points to one at all. But they can call
it whatever they want, Jimmy the Department for all I
care as long as they, you know, keep us prepared. So,
speaking of that change in name, though, the folks at
the Babylon b took a shot at renaming various departments.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't want to get the punchline wrong. I love
the one about the Social Security Administration. Just Sti'll have
that handy.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I do renaming the Department of Social Security to the
Charles Ponzi Memorial Retirement Plan, which is pretty funny as
it is a Ponzi scheme. Anybody who screams it isn't
is just lying to you. The Department of Justice will
be remain renamed to the Department of Revenge on All
(08:28):
Losers and haters.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's nice, now, Am I gonna like this one? No?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of Redskins not funny,
Babylon Bee.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, don't appreciate that at all. Yeah, many people hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Housing and Urban Development will be retitled as the Department
of the poores.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't know if that's a good. That's not unhelpfully. Either,
Food and Drug Administration will just be called McDonald's from
now on. I don't know if that's helpful either Andy
Kessler or the Wall Street Journal. Taking a slightly more serious,
although equally cynical approach to it, he wants to start
with the Commerce Department better labeled as the Department of
Corporate Extortion. And this is one thing Trump's been doing
(09:12):
that I am very uncomfortable with. But Intel is giving
up nearly ten percent of its equity to Uncle Sam Rare,
it's extractor. MP Materials sold the Pentagon of fifteen percent
state stake. Nvidia and AMD must now pay fifteen percent
export tax to sell advanced chips in China. Apple announced
giant investments than in April, miraculously escape reciprocal triffs on iPhones. Yeah,
(09:34):
I don't love all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, how could you not be against that? And it's
the same story we've had for quite a while now.
Try to imagine what it's going to be like when
you lose an election because you're not gonna win every
election going forward. Right, you like the things your party's doing, well,
the other party is going to get to do the
same stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So that's why do you make an exciting new powers?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh doesn't end when the other team wins? And do
you want President Gavin Newsome with a ten stake in
Intel getting to dictate all kinds of DEI staff or
who knows.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What the hell right? Right? Moving along though, I like
this even more, Andy Kessler Treasure, he should become the
dollar printing like confetti department.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, this one from the Babylon b was the Department
of the Treasury will now be called the Chinese Loan Office.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
H a little too close to all. No one really
knows what the Agricultural Department does. I suggest a new name,
the High Fructose Corn Syrup Subsidizer tey. That's what they
essentially do, Agriculture Department does.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They push socialism all across the They're the most socialist
chunk of the government by.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Far, clearly. Yeah, some of you all hate this. Health
and Human Services might become the class action set up faction.
Former personal injury practitioner Robert F. Kennedy Junior is the
head of HHS, and he seems to be position all
the policies for class action lawyers. Maybe you believe that,
Maybe you don't. The Education Department, which apparently is still around,
would be better as the remedial instructor full employment group.
(11:11):
Since more than half of Americans have literacy below a
sixth grade level and our schools aren't teaching people to read,
it will indeed keep remedial instructors employed full time?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Say that first part is that true? Do more than
half of Americans read at a sixth grade or less level?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Have literacy below a sixth grade level? Yeah? More than half?
That's correct. Wow, there are thirty schools in Illinois with
zero students reading at grade level. Alternately, we could call
it the Ray's College Tuition annually Department, because that's what
it's done with the student loans, all right. The labor departments,
the Union Perpetuation Society, Buro of alcatol, alcohol, tobacco on firearms,
(11:52):
just the vice squad Energy Department is the green boondoggles
are us? Let's see in the EPA is the Progress
Inhibiting Agency. Oh, this is a good one. Trump fans
the Federal Bureau of Investigation could be known as the
Presidential Election Manipulation Organization. Ooof yeah, A.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
How do you have thirty schools in Illinois where no
one is reading at proficiency level? And I'm assuming that,
like California, their proficiency levels are embarrassingly low. Yes, so
the standard's pretty low.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Anyway, right, Yeah, it's a horrific failure. Yeah, you know,
I put two a handful of fellas over the weekend.
I don't think there's any saving government schools. I think
the entire system needs to be torn down and rebuilt,
or or just done away with. Nobody disagreed, no, just
do away with it. Maybe because they think I'm a
(12:52):
maniac and they don't want to get into it with me,
but they seem to be sincere. You look like somebody
would attack them with a golf club if they just agreed.
Absolutely not. No, maybe the handleland, the rubberised handleland. I
have them with it, but that's you know, that's not
quote unquote attacking them with a golf club.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Right, Okay, we got more on the way. What do
you think of that text? Line four one KFTC.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
We have reason to believe that he's a maniac.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's so I've vowed to stop paying attention to the
back and forths of lower courts until the Supreme Court
decides on things, because what's the point. The Supreme Court
has decided that this. They have lifted restrictions on ice
agents in LA, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based
on factors like ethnicity. The Supreme Court weighed in on that,
(13:50):
So seeing somebody who's brown is not automatically out of
bounds for a reason to Hey, you got any paperwork
and maybe you agree with that, maybe you don't.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
That has been made. Yeah, I'd like to read the decision.
I'm a little surprised by that, but there's probably subtlety
there that's worth discussing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So our population is aging in the United States, actually
all of Western SIEV is aging quite a bit right now.
One in six people are sixty five or older, and
that's going to grow in future years by a lot.
So there's a lot of money to be made if
you are a company that sells stuff and making sure
(14:28):
you know you're catering to older people. Not only are
there going to be a lot of them, they tend
to be the ones that have money to spend on
things like one German luxury automaker, I'm assuming it's Mercedes,
spend a lot of money on coming up with an
old suit that people could wear to kind of simulate
being old, and then try to craft their cars for
(14:52):
older people. And this been has caught on and become
a thing. The original version of the MIT It built
this age suit was for Mercedes, but now they're using
for a whole bunch of different stuff. And the New
York Times had an article over the weekend, My day
is an eighty year old? What an age simulation suit
taught me? This reporter woman wore the MIT design suit
(15:16):
and it's about what you'd probably guess. Fifteen pound weighted vest.
They add weights around your ankles and wrists to replicate
the sensation of a loss of muscle mass that a
company's aging. They pulled a blue jumpsuit over the weights,
helping me making it a little more difficult to lift
(15:36):
your legs. A bungee cord system attached to different parts
of your body, just to making a little more stiff,
a little harder to bend over, all kinds of different things.
Wow goggles to distort your vision a little bit something
for your hearing, to make it a little harder to hear.
It's called AGNES, the age gain Now empathy system, Agnes,
(15:59):
the Agnes suit, And like she wored around the grocery
store and realized she couldn't reach stuff on the higher
shelf because she just didn't have the flexibility and muscle
mass anymore to get up on her tiptoes and reach
way up eigh stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Right, the suit sounds half comedic honestly, but U the
intent there. Uh yeah, in a world of aging people, Yeah,
that's that's that's good. It's nice. I remember there's a
conceit among the young or like you never think about it,
but kind of in the back of your mind you think,
look that old guy kind of walking bent over and slow.
(16:36):
I'm not gonna be like that. I'm youthful forever. He's
a weak character. It did get to in the article,
which I thought was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You can put off that by quite a bit by
staying active.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh. I for instance, some strong like bullhos oh that
frequently announce All that stuff goes away if you don't
use it.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But if you stay active, exercise and lift and weights,
all that sort of stuff and then whatever for your brain.
You can put it off a long time. But as
it points out in the New York Times, the majority
of reason that we end up that way or for
a lot of people, is not your fault, just random
bad luck. You get even the best prepared person in
that old person lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Are strong and getty.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Thank you so much MTV for giving me the.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Van Dot Award.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I just have one question, what in the same hell
were you waiting for? I love you, I love you,
love you so much? This is amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm perplexed. I'm not trying to diss on people's music
tastes or anything like that. Different people like different music whatever,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
But is there a crowd for videos at this point?
Am I just missing it?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
My kids don't watch videos, and they're really really into music.
They both listen to music constantly, but they don't aren't
aware of any videos.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
So what are the MTV Video Awards Video music awards? Well?
It reminds me of our discussion of like your green
energy boondoggles, where billions of dollars are being spread around
the dollars are the point, not the excuse for spending
the dollars. Spending the dollars is the point. In the
same way the VMA, for instance, the existence of the
(18:30):
show is so they have a show. It's not to
give out video music awards, and it's an excuse to
assemble the pop stars of the day and sell commercials. Okay,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And Sabrina Carpenter, who is the she was on Saturday
Night Live is the only reason I know who she was.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But so she's like.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
The current hottie who pushes the limits of being too
sexy and in theory controversial, and yeah, once you're older
and you've been through this cycle fifteen times with Brittany
and Madonna and whoever else, it's just it's so, I
(19:11):
don't know, uninteresting.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
But yeah, it's like some good laundry deterreent promising you
brighter brights and whiter whites or whatever I mean. Okay,
I don't either it is or it isn't. Now, So
she's some sexy song strystle show us a large portion
of her boobies.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well her album cover. Her album cover was too sexy
and had to be recalled and they put out a
different when that was tame down.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And covered with brown paper, right for shocking the eyes
of Americans. Yeah, I know, it's just it's so silly.
But congratulations, Mariah, carry on your Vanguard award. Yes, so
breaking news. Jack completely misreported it, Okay, misled you. The
(19:55):
Supreme Court aught a rule on you. No, it was right.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It was right as far as when I think I
just read the sentence it was out for ABC News.
Maybe they got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah. Oh, if it's ABC News, the chances are nine
out of ten they got it wrong. Yeah. The Supreme
Court lifted a federal judge's order prohibiting government agents from
making indiscriminate immigration related stops in the LA area. Challengers
called it blatant racial profiling. The court's brief order was unsigned,
gave no reasons. It is not the last word in
(20:26):
the case. It's pending before a federal appeals court and
may again reach the justices. All they said was, no,
we're not going to stop the federal government for doing
from doing this until it works this way through the courts.
We're not granting you a temporary restraining order. They can
keep doing what they're doing. Okay, well, your term. It
(20:47):
allows what critics say are roving patrols of massed agents
routinely violating the Fourth Amendment, and what supporters say is
a vigorous but lawful effort to enforce the nation's immigration laws.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'd be smirched ABC, and I shouldn't. I should be
besmirching The New York Times. So The New York Times
wrote this this way on purpose, then, because I just
read it from their headline, breaking news.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Ice agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate
stops based on factors like ethnicity. That is accurate but misleading,
and they what they the result they want is for
you to say, oh, no, Trump's out of control. Magat
Court has done it again. Right, That's what the point
(21:29):
was of writing it that way for the New York Times.
Nice job, New York Times. Oh yeah, yeah, I would agree. God,
you have to look into if you see a headline
about a Supreme Court ruling, you have to look deeper
than that, And even then you might have to look
a lot deeper to figure out what actually happened.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You know what. The most amusing part of that story is.
And this is the sort of thing I chuckle about,
which is why I have no friends. The fact that
they called the stops the searches indiscriminate when they are
literally arguing in court that they're discriminate. Which one are they?
These indiscriminate discriminatory searches must end You can't be both themasses.
(22:10):
But a lot of times you'll hear a gun ruling
and it wasn't a gun ruling at all. It was
a standing ruling, or it was something completely different than
what the headline is right right, Or it was a no,
we're not changing this, we're keeping it the same until
this works through, blah blah blah. It wasn't a ruling
in favor of whatnot right, Okay?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Speaking of guns and hispanics and roundups and that sort
of thing. So maybe you've heard Trump talked about sending
the federal troops to Chicago. He's not really serious about that,
although they are round up.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Is about to find out why it's called the Department
of War, he tweeted out over the weekend, which is.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Pretty provocative from the president. You can forgive people for thinking, yeah, yeah,
it's right. That was a crazy ass thing to say. Anyway,
I thought this so interesting. And this is the Wall
Street Journal, that's but they've lost control of their lefty
young reporters obviously, but this is an article about that topic,
and I thought this was so interesting. The latest move
(23:09):
alarmed immigrants in Chicago, keeping them home during a month
when celebrations for Mexico's independence usually fill the streets in
the Pilsen neighborhood, which is largely Hispanic. Please close off
streets for the annual Mexican Independence Day parade on Saturday.
Normally the event is a joyful one, with residents packing
the sidewalks. This time a few people turned out. Is
(23:32):
there any other country on Earth where you would leave
your god forsake and country to come to the one
that's way better, run way safer, you have much better
prospects for yourself and your children, and then you wave
the flag the crappy place you left and celebrate the
(23:53):
Independence day in the new country. That's a good point. Now,
I could see American ex pats have in a little
Fourth of July celebration or something. I don't think I
would petition the government of Austria, for instance, to shut
down streets. Yeah, we got to have a Fourth of
(24:14):
July celebration. No you don't. You're in Austria, America. Love
it or leave it, amigos. That's what I'm saying. Oh
my god. Oh And one more immigration story because I
find it so interesting. And you called this the giant
(24:34):
immigration rate at the Hyundai plant in Georgia where hundreds
of South Korean workers were lined up and shipped out,
and the US State Department in the South Koreans, we've
come to an agreement because we're buddies, we're friends and allies,
and you don't want things to turn ugly. But you
said immediately when you heard about this story, something's going
(24:56):
on here. How do you have hundreds and hundreds of
South Koreans working illegally at this giant plant that was
a giant investment in America. And it's not clear to
me exactly where the malfeasance is. It might be the
state of Georgia, although this is a federal matter.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I use the example that I'd lived through this before,
where a uh, some sort of plant, some sort of
you don't really want to do that for your living
plant opened up in a small town near me in
Kansas and it was all Vietnamese in a part of
the state where there were lots of Mexican people around.
So why was it all Vietnamese for this plant? Clearly
(25:37):
they were working with somebody to end up that's random, just.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
A bunch of Vietnamese people, uh, answered aur Aad in
the International Times. Yeah, what are you gonna do? No, obviously, Yeah,
there's some sort of pipeline with some sort of wink
and nod by somebody, and that sure looks like what
this is. Because Brian camp the governor of Georgia, who
in general life I think highly of, he had touted
(26:01):
this gigantic investment that is, like most of these things,
not exactly paying the dividends that it was supposed to.
But Hyundai and LG Energy Solutions, which is their partner,
because it's it's I think it's mostly an evy battery plant.
That's that's most of the thing. It seems like. Instead
(26:21):
of hiring a bunch of Americans, including union guys who
may or may not be making more than they should whatever,
I'm not gonna argue that point, but they mostly just
brought in a bunch of South Koreans and the big
parent companies are like, yeah, our people are legal, but
they turned a blind eye to what all the subcontractors
(26:43):
were doing or just flying in hundreds and hundreds of
Koreans who spoke the same language, who had the same
work ethic, slash traditions whatever and uh and and it
like generated very few American jobs. It was all Koreans
doing the work in there. Now, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I saw or heard a tease of something about Trump
saying he's going to crack down on the business.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
End of that, but I haven't followed up on that.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Which has always been a problem with the whole illegal
immigration thing. If you would go after the businesses, I
think you could end this, but there's never been will
to do that.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah. Yeah, now Trump did say, uh, looks like there
are a bunch of illegal aliens in Ice. Was just
doing their jobs, okay, which is good. Yeah, definitely. How
do you import hundreds, like almost five hundred Koreans to
(27:47):
work at this new plant? Well? Does that work?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
An example I'm using of Garden City, Kansas in the
eighties they opened. I forget what the plant was, but
it was not a place that you particularly want to work.
Thousands and thousands of people from Vietnam all of a sudden,
we're working there. I mean that is some sort of
agreement between the plant and the country of Vietnam or
something to make that happen, and somebody at.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
State Department has to be going along with it. You
would think, so, yeah, yeah, well, the giant meat companies,
they have a lot of influence.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And then you can understand from the company standpoint, especially
since we've been you know, winking and nodding this to
death for decades, you don't want eight different languages. How
about I just get one group of people from one
country that all speak the same language, right, and put
them in a neighborhood where they're all happy being together.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, and Hyundai's thinking, yeah, you got a bunch of fat,
lazy Georgians around here. They don't want, you know, if
we can get them to quote unquote work at all,
they don't work much. Or we could bring in a
bunch of South Koreans who you know, from the age
of six on or part of a drill and kill
culture where you excel or you commit suicide, and them
worked themselves to death. It's a better deal for us.
(29:03):
That's what they did.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
If you know anything about that Texas or emails, because
there's obviously something hinky going on there. We will finish
strong next. Appreciate a lot that there are fans of
this radio show. I mean, that's awesome in addition to
just being listeners like fans, like we're I don't know
(29:24):
a music group or something, and I was completely unaware
where my group is at. Huh, yeah, what's the deal
where my groupies be at?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I'm gonna have to turn you down because I'm faithful
to my wife, but I'd appreciate the effort.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
There's a Facebook fan page and a Reddit fan page
that I was completely unaware of. It had been up
for years and tens of thousands of people on it
and I didn't know they existed.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
But anyway, and I never look at them.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
But the Reddit page got taken down somebody posted something
on there that violated Reddit policies, which I can't imagine
what that is because Reddit is full of lies, porn, filth,
I mean, just I mean all kinds of craziness. What
(30:13):
was posted on armstring and getting Reddit page that violated
their standards, I can't even imagine what that be.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Two theories have emerged as i've studied the emails. Number one,
Reddit is run by mostly young way lefties, true, and
they despise us and everything they everything we hold deer
and so they're against us. The second one was that
it was getting clogged with spam from somebody trying to
get you to stream college football games for free or
(30:43):
something like that, and they had to shut it down.
I was on one.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I thought it was our Facebook recently, just to check
it out, and one of you, who I appreciate you listening,
but posted so much that it was impossible to see
anything else.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So I thought, I don't know how anybody enjoys us.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Maybe if you're a fan, try to keep your posts
to a couple per day so other people can participate.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
That's just my suggestion. Yeah, I guess I would have
to look at it to know, although there have been
a couple I've looked at just people have mentioned, hey,
they're saying this and that, and you might be and
I was somewhat amused. But thank you for listening. I mean,
obviously speaking of the monitors, you're a weirdo. Yeah, I mean,
weirdo is just keep to yourself, right, don't unleash your
(31:26):
weirdness on us AH. So, speaking of the modern world,
it's interesting. I'm involved in what I would call a
local political situation, and it's interesting that it is very
much like the national political situation in that it's divided
and far nastier than it's ever been. There's nastiness in
(31:50):
the air and snark and people assuming that people who
disagree with them don't disagree with them because they have
different needs or see the situation differently. Is that they
must be bad people with bad motives? Is it that?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Or is that just the way we talk now, or
at least online, the way we talk and we just
feel like we have to.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's an interesting distinction. I mean expressing that whether they
feel now, I think they actually feel it.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well, Like I'll use the example of last week. I
got Rio the football game in Brazil. I was mixing
up in my head Sal Paulo and Rio and I
got that wrong, and there were responses on the text
line that were just so angry and haimful, right as
opposed to I think you're mixing the two towns Upper something.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, there's really only two cities in Brazil, anybody knows,
and you got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But I just can't imagine being that angry about how
could you possibly be so stupid? Do some research, you know,
that sort of just and I just think it's the
way you feel like you got to talk online.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Do you get any attention? It's an interesting distinction. And
we have noticed that occasionally once in a while somebody
unleashes that sort of venom who I thought like I
had a friendly email relationship with because I don't answer
a lot just because of time, but I answer some
and you know, say hey, thanks, I disagree, but here's
(33:19):
why blah blah blah. And whenever we call somebody on it,
they immediately apologize and say, I'm sorry, I didn't really
mean that I had a bad day or whatever. Blah
blah blah. So maybe you're right. Maybe it's it's just
the lingua franca, as they said, So I remember you
talking about one of your kids doing what the haters
gonna hate.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
It was just so used to the way people talk
online it didn't mean anything to them. So maybe it's
just a when we're all dead, those of us who
didn't grow up with calling each other, you know, hateful
liar mf ors all the time, the younger crowd will
be so used to it, it won't won't be a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, well you know, human's get a human. I'll bet
it goes in cycles. I'll bet they decide it's too
much and they start getting nice again. Maybe. Final thought
speaking of nice, gee, it's fantastic stuff. Good stuff. Takes
me back to a better time. Here's your host for
(34:20):
final thoughts, Joe getting Hey, let's get a final talf
from everybody on the crew. Wrap up things today. There
he is pressing the buttons in the control room. Michaelangelo.
Michael at your finals talk, all right. Earlier in the show,
Jack said, the oldest thing is ever said, I'm excited
about my prunes, and so I think soon you'll be
mentioning dentures, metal detectors and hard candy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
We get home and the package is front of the door,
and I said, my prunes are here, And my son said.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
That's the oldest thing you've ever said. God, your son
is a man. Katie Green is off temporarily. She will
be back soon, and we're happy about that. Jack.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
A final thought for us, Yeah, I mentioned attending the
Eagle Scout ceremony for a kid in my son's troop.
Man a shout out to all the parents that make
that sort of stuff work. Whether it's you sports or
four h or scouts or whatever your thing is. It
takes a lot of time, but it is so important
for society.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Hmm. My final thought is, boy, I really like watching football.
Huh been wrong with that? Yeah? Good buddy of mine said, yeah,
it was the first game of the year and I
was watching the tennis and I'm like, oh my god,
I can't even imagine missing a forty nine ers game. Well,
in football, every game matters. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know
why I like it so much. These players wouldn't like me,
(35:34):
they wouldn't want to hang out with me. They'd leave
my favorite team the minute they get offered more money.
And yet there I sits enthralled.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Armstrong and Getty wraping up an other. They're grueling four
hour workday, so.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Many people thanks so a little time. Good Armstrong and

Here we need your help. We will see tomorrow. God
bless American.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Just in case you missed any part of the Amsung

to war the criminal cartels. Our rights do not come
from our laws or our governments. Is extremely troubling. Europeans

Speaker 2 (00:25):
So the jury selection begins today in the trial of
that nutjob who was gonna kill Trump at the golf
course and got way too close to being able to
pull it off. And he was in the bushes with
a rifle, just needed to wait a little longer before
they came down walking down the fairway.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Holy crap.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But anyway, I called him a nutjob because he's actually crazy.
He is representing himself and the three things he asked
the judge for were strippers, a putting green, and he
wanted to challenge Donald Trump to eighteen whole round of
(01:09):
golf where if he lost, Trump gets to execute him,
but if he wins, he gets Trump's job, which would
be an odd arrangement.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's a stretch constitutionally speaking, but I could see it happening.
Did he mention whether it would be match player stroke play?
Probably not significant back to you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I think Trump should take him up on it, because
I bet Trump could beat him.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's the guy spends a little time with that Putting
Green gets his stroke all locked in. Who knows the
strippers are difficult? I mean it's you know, maybe he
just likes naked women, but seems like an odd request.
Has the judge ruled on his requests? Anyway, they're selecting
the jury today. I wouldn't mind being on that jury.
I'd be a pretty interesting trial looking at him, that
(01:54):
guy's crazy background, and then also probably getting quite a
bit of information on things the secrets Servis did well and
maybe not well in that situation. I don't know. The
defense countered with a Putting Green, a Llama, and a
foot race against jad events the judges expected to rule
different topic.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So remember the jobs numbers came out on Friday and
they were quite low and below expectations, and a lot
of the mainstream media beaten up Trump over his tariff
policies destroying America and blah blah blah, And I don't
know anything about that other than this. Kevin Hassett, one
of Trump's economic advisors, was on Face the Nation yesterday.
(02:39):
He is one of Trump's best spokespeople in this Kevin
Hassett should get on more shows because he's really good
at it, explaining once again as they had explained a
month prior about how there's just the methodology for the
jobs numbers thing is just all over the place.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And this was himle and face, the nation has.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Job creation installed and should the Federal Reserve be concerned
about the jobs picture?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Right?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, first of all, the interesting thing about the jobs numbers,
right is that they had the biggest revisions in fifty
years over the summer, and we came in with twenty
two thousand in August. But if you look at what
they said in twenty three and twenty four, they have
two ways of estimating the jobs. There's something called the
payroll survey where they asked the employers how many people
(03:25):
did you hire? That they have something called the household
survey where they call up people they say do you
have a job. And over those two years, the payroll
numbers said that we created four and a half million jobs,
and the household survey said about two million. Fewer about
two and a half million jobs. And they should have
the same answer.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So one is like double the other number. And as
he's pointing out, when you've got that level of which
one is, right, Someng's got to get fixed.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, yeah, you got to look at that and say, hey,
one of these is wildly wrong, right or of fun?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, and I just wanted to get that on because
you don't you haven't heard that from anybody.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, that's that's cuckoonuts. You're not Why are you collecting
that data? It's just just make up a number. It
saves time. Well that was his point a month ago. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, And Brennan's attempted pushback was because he started trouting
out some numbers and her pushback was, oh, you believe
those numbers but not these, And he said, well, there
aren't altered numbers for the ones I just mentioned that
are like wildly different the number that you're talking about.
There are two ways to measure it, and they're completely
(04:38):
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah. I wouldn't argue therefore the job market's great, because
there's every sign in the world that it's not. But
that is interesting because so much hay is made of
those numbers every time they come out. Yeah, so that's that.
Just thought that was interesting. That is that I thought
(05:00):
I thought you said you had something else. No, I
did not to go with I said that I misspoke. Well,
you misled us. Then my other thing to.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Go with it was talking about the trial, which I
laid out the oh right right, the demands the Kukula
guy wanted the strippers the putting green.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
In the golf match with the president, did he say,
like how many strippers or in what like setting? Just plurals?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So I guess somewhere between two and a thousand, But
performing in his cell, would he be transported to the strip?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I'd like to know as more about his his specific
as bailiffs. Now that is sexy, you've been naughty, et cetera.
Uh so, uh Jack, Earlier we were talking about the
trump renaming of the Department of Defense the war, and
(05:55):
you were going to explain to us the origin actually
of the original change, which was in I think nineteen
forty seven or something like that, shortly after World War Two.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, I thought it was kind of interesting. I had
always thought it was just a a name change, and
it just seemed like a better idea to we'll defend
ourselves if we're attacked, but we're not going out trying
to attack people.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, mean, the war was so horrible in so many ways,
I thought maybe people just let's not go around talking
about war casually. This is what I've always assumed.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
If you're a history fan, you know that back in
the day, pre Department of Defense, there was things called
the Secretary of the Navy.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You had your own secretary with the Navy and the army.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What happened after World War Two is they decided there's
a whole bunch of different stuff we need to bring
together in one department and have one person in charge
over that. And so it wasn't just a renaming the
Department of War to the Department of Defense. They created
a different department that included the Department of War, and
then all these other different things things intelligence and all
(07:01):
different stuff into defense and uh and and so it's
kind of like they brought various things together after nine
to eleven and then had a D and I so
that that makes sense to me.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
It was a different thing at that point.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't think it's It doesn't bother me at all
that they change it back to the Department of War.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't think it's a major deal. And I actually
kind of like the putting up with your s attitude
of the name of it. But it wasn't just a
name change back in the day. Also during the court
when we realized it was a cold war was what
we were headed into. It really was going to be
(07:39):
more about defending ourselves than prosecuting a war. But again,
I think it's a minor deal. Yeah, I would agree
interesting points to one at all. But they can call
it whatever they want, Jimmy the Department for all I
care as long as they, you know, keep us prepared. So,
speaking of that change in name, though, the folks at
the Babylon b took a shot at renaming various departments.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't want to get the punchline wrong. I love
the one about the Social Security Administration. Just Sti'll have
that handy.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I do renaming the Department of Social Security to the
Charles Ponzi Memorial Retirement Plan, which is pretty funny as
it is a Ponzi scheme. Anybody who screams it isn't
is just lying to you. The Department of Justice will
be remain renamed to the Department of Revenge on All
(08:28):
Losers and haters.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's nice, now, Am I gonna like this one? No?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of Redskins not funny,
Babylon Bee.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, don't appreciate that at all. Yeah, many people hurt.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Housing and Urban Development will be retitled as the Department
of the poores.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't know if that's a good. That's not unhelpfully. Either,
Food and Drug Administration will just be called McDonald's from
now on. I don't know if that's helpful either Andy
Kessler or the Wall Street Journal. Taking a slightly more serious,
although equally cynical approach to it, he wants to start
with the Commerce Department better labeled as the Department of
Corporate Extortion. And this is one thing Trump's been doing
(09:12):
that I am very uncomfortable with. But Intel is giving
up nearly ten percent of its equity to Uncle Sam Rare,
it's extractor. MP Materials sold the Pentagon of fifteen percent
state stake. Nvidia and AMD must now pay fifteen percent
export tax to sell advanced chips in China. Apple announced
giant investments than in April, miraculously escape reciprocal triffs on iPhones. Yeah,
(09:34):
I don't love all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, how could you not be against that? And it's
the same story we've had for quite a while now.
Try to imagine what it's going to be like when
you lose an election because you're not gonna win every
election going forward. Right, you like the things your party's doing, well,
the other party is going to get to do the
same stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So that's why do you make an exciting new powers?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh doesn't end when the other team wins? And do
you want President Gavin Newsome with a ten stake in
Intel getting to dictate all kinds of DEI staff or
who knows.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What the hell right? Right? Moving along though, I like
this even more, Andy Kessler Treasure, he should become the
dollar printing like confetti department.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, this one from the Babylon b was the Department
of the Treasury will now be called the Chinese Loan Office.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
H a little too close to all. No one really
knows what the Agricultural Department does. I suggest a new name,
the High Fructose Corn Syrup Subsidizer tey. That's what they
essentially do, Agriculture Department does.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They push socialism all across the They're the most socialist
chunk of the government by.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Far, clearly. Yeah, some of you all hate this. Health
and Human Services might become the class action set up faction.
Former personal injury practitioner Robert F. Kennedy Junior is the
head of HHS, and he seems to be position all
the policies for class action lawyers. Maybe you believe that,
Maybe you don't. The Education Department, which apparently is still around,
would be better as the remedial instructor full employment group.
(11:11):
Since more than half of Americans have literacy below a
sixth grade level and our schools aren't teaching people to read,
it will indeed keep remedial instructors employed full time?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Say that first part is that true? Do more than
half of Americans read at a sixth grade or less level?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Have literacy below a sixth grade level? Yeah? More than half?
That's correct. Wow, there are thirty schools in Illinois with
zero students reading at grade level. Alternately, we could call
it the Ray's College Tuition annually Department, because that's what
it's done with the student loans, all right. The labor departments,
the Union Perpetuation Society, Buro of alcatol, alcohol, tobacco on firearms,
(11:52):
just the vice squad Energy Department is the green boondoggles
are us? Let's see in the EPA is the Progress
Inhibiting Agency. Oh, this is a good one. Trump fans
the Federal Bureau of Investigation could be known as the
Presidential Election Manipulation Organization. Ooof yeah, A.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
How do you have thirty schools in Illinois where no
one is reading at proficiency level? And I'm assuming that,
like California, their proficiency levels are embarrassingly low. Yes, so
the standard's pretty low.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Anyway, right, Yeah, it's a horrific failure. Yeah, you know,
I put two a handful of fellas over the weekend.
I don't think there's any saving government schools. I think
the entire system needs to be torn down and rebuilt,
or or just done away with. Nobody disagreed, no, just
do away with it. Maybe because they think I'm a
(12:52):
maniac and they don't want to get into it with me,
but they seem to be sincere. You look like somebody
would attack them with a golf club if they just agreed.
Absolutely not. No, maybe the handleland, the rubberised handleland. I
have them with it, but that's you know, that's not
quote unquote attacking them with a golf club.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Right, Okay, we got more on the way. What do
you think of that text? Line four one KFTC.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
We have reason to believe that he's a maniac.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's so I've vowed to stop paying attention to the
back and forths of lower courts until the Supreme Court
decides on things, because what's the point. The Supreme Court
has decided that this. They have lifted restrictions on ice
agents in LA, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based
on factors like ethnicity. The Supreme Court weighed in on that,
(13:50):
So seeing somebody who's brown is not automatically out of
bounds for a reason to Hey, you got any paperwork
and maybe you agree with that, maybe you don't.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
That has been made. Yeah, I'd like to read the decision.
I'm a little surprised by that, but there's probably subtlety
there that's worth discussing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So our population is aging in the United States, actually
all of Western SIEV is aging quite a bit right now.
One in six people are sixty five or older, and
that's going to grow in future years by a lot.
So there's a lot of money to be made if
you are a company that sells stuff and making sure
(14:28):
you know you're catering to older people. Not only are
there going to be a lot of them, they tend
to be the ones that have money to spend on
things like one German luxury automaker, I'm assuming it's Mercedes,
spend a lot of money on coming up with an
old suit that people could wear to kind of simulate
being old, and then try to craft their cars for
(14:52):
older people. And this been has caught on and become
a thing. The original version of the MIT It built
this age suit was for Mercedes, but now they're using
for a whole bunch of different stuff. And the New
York Times had an article over the weekend, My day
is an eighty year old? What an age simulation suit
taught me? This reporter woman wore the MIT design suit
(15:16):
and it's about what you'd probably guess. Fifteen pound weighted vest.
They add weights around your ankles and wrists to replicate
the sensation of a loss of muscle mass that a
company's aging. They pulled a blue jumpsuit over the weights,
helping me making it a little more difficult to lift
(15:36):
your legs. A bungee cord system attached to different parts
of your body, just to making a little more stiff,
a little harder to bend over, all kinds of different things.
Wow goggles to distort your vision a little bit something
for your hearing, to make it a little harder to hear.
It's called AGNES, the age gain Now empathy system, Agnes,
(15:59):
the Agnes suit, And like she wored around the grocery
store and realized she couldn't reach stuff on the higher
shelf because she just didn't have the flexibility and muscle
mass anymore to get up on her tiptoes and reach
way up eigh stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Right, the suit sounds half comedic honestly, but U the
intent there. Uh yeah, in a world of aging people, Yeah,
that's that's that's good. It's nice. I remember there's a
conceit among the young or like you never think about it,
but kind of in the back of your mind you think,
look that old guy kind of walking bent over and slow.
(16:36):
I'm not gonna be like that. I'm youthful forever. He's
a weak character. It did get to in the article,
which I thought was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You can put off that by quite a bit by
staying active.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh. I for instance, some strong like bullhos oh that
frequently announce All that stuff goes away if you don't
use it.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But if you stay active, exercise and lift and weights,
all that sort of stuff and then whatever for your brain.
You can put it off a long time. But as
it points out in the New York Times, the majority
of reason that we end up that way or for
a lot of people, is not your fault, just random
bad luck. You get even the best prepared person in
that old person lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Are strong and getty.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Thank you so much MTV for giving me the.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Van Dot Award.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I just have one question, what in the same hell
were you waiting for? I love you, I love you,
love you so much? This is amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm perplexed. I'm not trying to diss on people's music
tastes or anything like that. Different people like different music whatever,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
But is there a crowd for videos at this point?
Am I just missing it?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
My kids don't watch videos, and they're really really into music.
They both listen to music constantly, but they don't aren't
aware of any videos.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
So what are the MTV Video Awards Video music awards? Well?
It reminds me of our discussion of like your green
energy boondoggles, where billions of dollars are being spread around
the dollars are the point, not the excuse for spending
the dollars. Spending the dollars is the point. In the
same way the VMA, for instance, the existence of the
(18:30):
show is so they have a show. It's not to
give out video music awards, and it's an excuse to
assemble the pop stars of the day and sell commercials. Okay,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And Sabrina Carpenter, who is the she was on Saturday
Night Live is the only reason I know who she was.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But so she's like.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
The current hottie who pushes the limits of being too
sexy and in theory controversial, and yeah, once you're older
and you've been through this cycle fifteen times with Brittany
and Madonna and whoever else, it's just it's so, I
(19:11):
don't know, uninteresting.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
But yeah, it's like some good laundry deterreent promising you
brighter brights and whiter whites or whatever I mean. Okay,
I don't either it is or it isn't. Now, So
she's some sexy song strystle show us a large portion
of her boobies.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well her album cover. Her album cover was too sexy
and had to be recalled and they put out a
different when that was tame down.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And covered with brown paper, right for shocking the eyes
of Americans. Yeah, I know, it's just it's so silly.
But congratulations, Mariah, carry on your Vanguard award. Yes, so
breaking news. Jack completely misreported it, Okay, misled you. The
(19:55):
Supreme Court aught a rule on you. No, it was right.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It was right as far as when I think I
just read the sentence it was out for ABC News.
Maybe they got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah. Oh, if it's ABC News, the chances are nine
out of ten they got it wrong. Yeah. The Supreme
Court lifted a federal judge's order prohibiting government agents from
making indiscriminate immigration related stops in the LA area. Challengers
called it blatant racial profiling. The court's brief order was unsigned,
gave no reasons. It is not the last word in
(20:26):
the case. It's pending before a federal appeals court and
may again reach the justices. All they said was, no,
we're not going to stop the federal government for doing
from doing this until it works this way through the courts.
We're not granting you a temporary restraining order. They can
keep doing what they're doing. Okay, well, your term. It
(20:47):
allows what critics say are roving patrols of massed agents
routinely violating the Fourth Amendment, and what supporters say is
a vigorous but lawful effort to enforce the nation's immigration laws.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'd be smirched ABC, and I shouldn't. I should be
besmirching The New York Times. So The New York Times
wrote this this way on purpose, then, because I just
read it from their headline, breaking news.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Ice agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate
stops based on factors like ethnicity. That is accurate but misleading,
and they what they the result they want is for
you to say, oh, no, Trump's out of control. Magat
Court has done it again. Right, That's what the point
(21:29):
was of writing it that way for the New York Times.
Nice job, New York Times. Oh yeah, yeah, I would agree. God,
you have to look into if you see a headline
about a Supreme Court ruling, you have to look deeper
than that, And even then you might have to look
a lot deeper to figure out what actually happened.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You know what. The most amusing part of that story is.
And this is the sort of thing I chuckle about,
which is why I have no friends. The fact that
they called the stops the searches indiscriminate when they are
literally arguing in court that they're discriminate. Which one are they?
These indiscriminate discriminatory searches must end You can't be both themasses.
(22:10):
But a lot of times you'll hear a gun ruling
and it wasn't a gun ruling at all. It was
a standing ruling, or it was something completely different than
what the headline is right right, Or it was a no,
we're not changing this, we're keeping it the same until
this works through, blah blah blah. It wasn't a ruling
in favor of whatnot right, Okay?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Speaking of guns and hispanics and roundups and that sort
of thing. So maybe you've heard Trump talked about sending
the federal troops to Chicago. He's not really serious about that,
although they are round up.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Is about to find out why it's called the Department
of War, he tweeted out over the weekend, which is.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Pretty provocative from the president. You can forgive people for thinking, yeah, yeah,
it's right. That was a crazy ass thing to say. Anyway,
I thought this so interesting. And this is the Wall
Street Journal, that's but they've lost control of their lefty
young reporters obviously, but this is an article about that topic,
and I thought this was so interesting. The latest move
(23:09):
alarmed immigrants in Chicago, keeping them home during a month
when celebrations for Mexico's independence usually fill the streets in
the Pilsen neighborhood, which is largely Hispanic. Please close off
streets for the annual Mexican Independence Day parade on Saturday.
Normally the event is a joyful one, with residents packing
the sidewalks. This time a few people turned out. Is
(23:32):
there any other country on Earth where you would leave
your god forsake and country to come to the one
that's way better, run way safer, you have much better
prospects for yourself and your children, and then you wave
the flag the crappy place you left and celebrate the
(23:53):
Independence day in the new country. That's a good point. Now,
I could see American ex pats have in a little
Fourth of July celebration or something. I don't think I
would petition the government of Austria, for instance, to shut
down streets. Yeah, we got to have a Fourth of
(24:14):
July celebration. No you don't. You're in Austria, America. Love
it or leave it, amigos. That's what I'm saying. Oh
my god. Oh And one more immigration story because I
find it so interesting. And you called this the giant
(24:34):
immigration rate at the Hyundai plant in Georgia where hundreds
of South Korean workers were lined up and shipped out,
and the US State Department in the South Koreans, we've
come to an agreement because we're buddies, we're friends and allies,
and you don't want things to turn ugly. But you
said immediately when you heard about this story, something's going
(24:56):
on here. How do you have hundreds and hundreds of
South Koreans working illegally at this giant plant that was
a giant investment in America. And it's not clear to
me exactly where the malfeasance is. It might be the
state of Georgia, although this is a federal matter.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I use the example that I'd lived through this before,
where a uh, some sort of plant, some sort of
you don't really want to do that for your living
plant opened up in a small town near me in
Kansas and it was all Vietnamese in a part of
the state where there were lots of Mexican people around.
So why was it all Vietnamese for this plant? Clearly
(25:37):
they were working with somebody to end up that's random, just.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
A bunch of Vietnamese people, uh, answered aur Aad in
the International Times. Yeah, what are you gonna do? No, obviously, Yeah,
there's some sort of pipeline with some sort of wink
and nod by somebody, and that sure looks like what
this is. Because Brian camp the governor of Georgia, who
in general life I think highly of, he had touted
(26:01):
this gigantic investment that is, like most of these things,
not exactly paying the dividends that it was supposed to.
But Hyundai and LG Energy Solutions, which is their partner,
because it's it's I think it's mostly an evy battery plant.
That's that's most of the thing. It seems like. Instead
(26:21):
of hiring a bunch of Americans, including union guys who
may or may not be making more than they should whatever,
I'm not gonna argue that point, but they mostly just
brought in a bunch of South Koreans and the big
parent companies are like, yeah, our people are legal, but
they turned a blind eye to what all the subcontractors
(26:43):
were doing or just flying in hundreds and hundreds of
Koreans who spoke the same language, who had the same
work ethic, slash traditions whatever and uh and and it
like generated very few American jobs. It was all Koreans
doing the work in there. Now, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I saw or heard a tease of something about Trump
saying he's going to crack down on the business.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
End of that, but I haven't followed up on that.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Which has always been a problem with the whole illegal
immigration thing. If you would go after the businesses, I
think you could end this, but there's never been will
to do that.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah. Yeah, now Trump did say, uh, looks like there
are a bunch of illegal aliens in Ice. Was just
doing their jobs, okay, which is good. Yeah, definitely. How
do you import hundreds, like almost five hundred Koreans to
(27:47):
work at this new plant? Well? Does that work?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
An example I'm using of Garden City, Kansas in the
eighties they opened. I forget what the plant was, but
it was not a place that you particularly want to work.
Thousands and thousands of people from Vietnam all of a sudden,
we're working there. I mean that is some sort of
agreement between the plant and the country of Vietnam or
something to make that happen, and somebody at.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
State Department has to be going along with it. You
would think, so, yeah, yeah, well, the giant meat companies,
they have a lot of influence.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And then you can understand from the company standpoint, especially
since we've been you know, winking and nodding this to
death for decades, you don't want eight different languages. How
about I just get one group of people from one
country that all speak the same language, right, and put
them in a neighborhood where they're all happy being together.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, and Hyundai's thinking, yeah, you got a bunch of fat,
lazy Georgians around here. They don't want, you know, if
we can get them to quote unquote work at all,
they don't work much. Or we could bring in a
bunch of South Koreans who you know, from the age
of six on or part of a drill and kill
culture where you excel or you commit suicide, and them
worked themselves to death. It's a better deal for us.
(29:03):
That's what they did.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
If you know anything about that Texas or emails, because
there's obviously something hinky going on there. We will finish
strong next. Appreciate a lot that there are fans of
this radio show. I mean, that's awesome in addition to
just being listeners like fans, like we're I don't know
(29:24):
a music group or something, and I was completely unaware
where my group is at. Huh, yeah, what's the deal
where my groupies be at?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I'm gonna have to turn you down because I'm faithful
to my wife, but I'd appreciate the effort.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
There's a Facebook fan page and a Reddit fan page
that I was completely unaware of. It had been up
for years and tens of thousands of people on it
and I didn't know they existed.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
But anyway, and I never look at them.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
But the Reddit page got taken down somebody posted something
on there that violated Reddit policies, which I can't imagine
what that is because Reddit is full of lies, porn, filth,
I mean, just I mean all kinds of craziness. What
(30:13):
was posted on armstring and getting Reddit page that violated
their standards, I can't even imagine what that be.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Two theories have emerged as i've studied the emails. Number one,
Reddit is run by mostly young way lefties, true, and
they despise us and everything they everything we hold deer
and so they're against us. The second one was that
it was getting clogged with spam from somebody trying to
get you to stream college football games for free or
(30:43):
something like that, and they had to shut it down.
I was on one.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I thought it was our Facebook recently, just to check
it out, and one of you, who I appreciate you listening,
but posted so much that it was impossible to see
anything else.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So I thought, I don't know how anybody enjoys us.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Maybe if you're a fan, try to keep your posts
to a couple per day so other people can participate.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
That's just my suggestion. Yeah, I guess I would have
to look at it to know, although there have been
a couple I've looked at just people have mentioned, hey,
they're saying this and that, and you might be and
I was somewhat amused. But thank you for listening. I mean,
obviously speaking of the monitors, you're a weirdo. Yeah, I mean,
weirdo is just keep to yourself, right, don't unleash your
(31:26):
weirdness on us AH. So, speaking of the modern world,
it's interesting. I'm involved in what I would call a
local political situation, and it's interesting that it is very
much like the national political situation in that it's divided
and far nastier than it's ever been. There's nastiness in
(31:50):
the air and snark and people assuming that people who
disagree with them don't disagree with them because they have
different needs or see the situation differently. Is that they
must be bad people with bad motives? Is it that?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Or is that just the way we talk now, or
at least online, the way we talk and we just
feel like we have to.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's an interesting distinction. I mean expressing that whether they
feel now, I think they actually feel it.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well, Like I'll use the example of last week. I
got Rio the football game in Brazil. I was mixing
up in my head Sal Paulo and Rio and I
got that wrong, and there were responses on the text
line that were just so angry and haimful, right as
opposed to I think you're mixing the two towns Upper something.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, there's really only two cities in Brazil, anybody knows,
and you got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But I just can't imagine being that angry about how
could you possibly be so stupid? Do some research, you know,
that sort of just and I just think it's the
way you feel like you got to talk online.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Do you get any attention? It's an interesting distinction. And
we have noticed that occasionally once in a while somebody
unleashes that sort of venom who I thought like I
had a friendly email relationship with because I don't answer
a lot just because of time, but I answer some
and you know, say hey, thanks, I disagree, but here's
(33:19):
why blah blah blah. And whenever we call somebody on it,
they immediately apologize and say, I'm sorry, I didn't really
mean that I had a bad day or whatever. Blah
blah blah. So maybe you're right. Maybe it's it's just
the lingua franca, as they said, So I remember you
talking about one of your kids doing what the haters
gonna hate.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
It was just so used to the way people talk
online it didn't mean anything to them. So maybe it's
just a when we're all dead, those of us who
didn't grow up with calling each other, you know, hateful
liar mf ors all the time, the younger crowd will
be so used to it, it won't won't be a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, well you know, human's get a human. I'll bet
it goes in cycles. I'll bet they decide it's too
much and they start getting nice again. Maybe. Final thought
speaking of nice, gee, it's fantastic stuff. Good stuff. Takes
me back to a better time. Here's your host for
(34:20):
final thoughts, Joe getting Hey, let's get a final talf
from everybody on the crew. Wrap up things today. There
he is pressing the buttons in the control room. Michaelangelo.
Michael at your finals talk, all right. Earlier in the show,
Jack said, the oldest thing is ever said, I'm excited
about my prunes, and so I think soon you'll be
mentioning dentures, metal detectors and hard candy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
We get home and the package is front of the door,
and I said, my prunes are here, And my son said.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
That's the oldest thing you've ever said. God, your son
is a man. Katie Green is off temporarily. She will
be back soon, and we're happy about that. Jack.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
A final thought for us, Yeah, I mentioned attending the
Eagle Scout ceremony for a kid in my son's troop.
Man a shout out to all the parents that make
that sort of stuff work. Whether it's you sports or
four h or scouts or whatever your thing is. It
takes a lot of time, but it is so important
for society.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Hmm. My final thought is, boy, I really like watching football.
Huh been wrong with that? Yeah? Good buddy of mine said, yeah,
it was the first game of the year and I
was watching the tennis and I'm like, oh my god,
I can't even imagine missing a forty nine ers game. Well,
in football, every game matters. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know
why I like it so much. These players wouldn't like me,
(35:34):
they wouldn't want to hang out with me. They'd leave
my favorite team the minute they get offered more money.
And yet there I sits enthralled.
Speaker 2 (35:43):

Just in case you missed any part of the Amsung
and Jetty show, We're not going to war. We're going
to war the criminal cartels. Our rights do not come
from our laws or our governments. Is extremely troubling. Europeans
continue by oil and Russian gas. What in the same
