Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
The students had umbrellas, they had blockades, we faculty had
We just had our banner, and we're there to support
the students, so we wanted to make sure that they
knew we're here. We had our banner, We're here to
do whatever you need for us to do. So a
bunch of folks are also getting getting arrested. A bunch
(00:36):
of the faculty are getting arrested.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
That's a UCLA dance instructor. And you probably can tell
by the sound of her voice. She's talking through a
mask because she's worried she'll be identified. This is all
so exhausting. Overnight the cops cleared out the UCLA illegal
camp fort.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It was a fort. It was absolutely a fort.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Anyway, I'm watching some of the newest video that one
was that was one violent melee.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I mean, there was a full on.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Hand to hand combat battle between cops and protesters and
they're throwing big chunks of metal epic cops and spraying
them with bear spray, shining bright lights in their eyes
to try to blind them. Yeah, and keeping in mind
friends for the millions time and you'll hear it a
million more. Yeah, there are a lot of UCLA students there.
(01:26):
There were also many many.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Professional Marxist agitators who go from site to site because
they want to tear down Western civilization.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I want to hear one more clip from the dance
instructor who was there to show her support.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And so what's happening is that they just started infiltrating
through each corner of the encampment, and also they were
throwing noise bombs into the encampment to kind of scare people.
So unfortunately, you know, the way that it all came,
(02:00):
the way that it all broke down, was more more
aggression from the police than from us. We were literally
just trying to stand our.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Ground, stand your ground in your illegal encampment calling for
the genocide of Jews. Yes right, We were only trying
to stand there and continue to chant more or less
kill all the Jews. It's all we're doing. What I'm sorry,
Fuzzy bears tapping me on the shoulder. He wants to
(02:34):
say something. What Fuzzy hey hif hey, yif o, jackass,
that's not half a f Oh, I don't know that acronym.
F around and find out. Okay, as the kids say, yeah.
In other words, you messed around, and you messed with
the hive and you got the bees.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
This is my favorite thing.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
This is before the cops went in last night, when
the protesters were still there. Uh anti israel Ula protesters
request shields, helmets and vegan and gluten free donations.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Wow, yeah, some beef eaten boys are about to come
in and what for.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, when the big guys whoever they are, they Armenians
or the Jewish supporters or whoever they were, they came in,
nobody knows quite yet.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
They came in there with those big poles to beat
him on the head.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
A friend of mine just hates some gluten and he's
really not feeling good.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
My friend is too gassy to fight you right now.
Unfriggin believable. A bunch of cry bullies. They're brave Marxist
revolutionaries can overthrow the world. But then they throw themselves
to the ground and cry you're hurting me, you're hurting me,
to try to get.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Good footage outs. But as you point fall for it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
But as you pointed out, the two sides of the
coin of their nuttiness is one like super weak and
I mockable with the gluten free this and you want
us to die. We can't even have a glass of water.
And then you start to touching my hoodie. He grabbed
me by the hoodie. But what they're advocating is the
murder of Jews, right, yeah, yeah, well that's the cause today.
(04:15):
Tomorrow it'll be trans rites or Black Lives Matter or whatever.
They're just Marxists, as Portress Colors said on videotape, Oh yeah,
we're trained Marxists.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We have urgent pay a.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Wedge issue and then say this is why we need
to tear down Western.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Civilization they put I guess the cops got there. Before
they got all this stuff. The protesters had put out
a statement their urgent need please send us helmets, shields,
wood for barriers, elbow and knee pads, and gluten and
vegan meals, gluten free and vegan meals.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
That's just too BID's funny. That's that's the Babylon pe
Surely now is there act that's for real? Posts that
they put out.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
We got more in the time line of how things
went down last night on the UCLA campus. It's pretty
exciting to hear again. Catch the video. It's not getting
near as much attention as it should. It was a
violent clush. If that was some sort of right wing
supporters battling cops over something.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh my god, that would be a huge story today.
But it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It was a progressive weirdos and nothing to see here.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Very frust from the mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, yeah, it is very frustrating, especially because these people
are hell bent on overthrowing the country.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You got a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Dopes who can't get a girlfriend in Charlottesville chanting the
Jews will not replace us.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The world comes to a stop.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Joe Biden decides he needs to run to the for
the presidency, and it's a national moment of reckoning. You
got college campus is full of people saying worse, and
the media says nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
So the oily haired governor of California finally put out
a statement about this, but none of it had anything
to do with Hey, you.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Got to let Jews go to class, You gotta let
Jews in the world library. Yeah, is that right? That's something.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, let's hear fifty seven Michaels, Stephanie Ramos of ABC A.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Disturbing turn and UCLA with an all out drawl after
counter protesters trying to break down a pro Palestinian encampment.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Fistfights erupting, people.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Hitting each other with wood and long sticks, using metal
barricade as weapons. This is the moment someone threw a
firewalk into the protest encampment, the violence unfolding for more
than two hours before police and riot gear moved in.
Governor Gavin Newsom saying the delayed response by law enforcement
was unacceptable and demands answers well several hours before UCLA
(06:42):
called for the cops.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
If I understand correctly, I don't know that. I've got
a perspective from a peace officer here. If you're curious
to hear that, I've been.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Very curious since for you know, twenty four hours now,
Why so long? How do you have a battle like
that on a campus with no police around?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What the hell is dous? This is?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You ought to know your numb skull. So you have
to keep in mind this is very liberal LA. This
is a very liberal college campus, and the idea calling
the cops out is anathema to the You know the
far left faculty, I'm sure, and the feckless spinalist leadership
of the university. So I don't know when they asked
(07:22):
the cops to show up, but al anonymous the cops
says a few macro issues were likely in play. California
law passed following the Floyd incident murder makes officers criminally
liable for failing to employ all reasonable less lethal options
prior to using deadly force. C Alameda County deputy being
prosecuted for shooting at a Walmart recently for a shooting
(07:45):
at a Walmart recently. Major tenant of the wacky das
rationale for prosecution was that he failed to wait for
additional officers before entering the walmart. Responding to the UCLA instant,
piecemeal or with an inadequate staff increases the likelihood of
the use of signing magnificant force by the officers who
do respond. Studies show that most cops don't want to
go to prison, and the Scotises ruled that police have
(08:07):
responsibility to the public at large rather than an individual.
The protesters put themselves in a position where the eventual
outcome was likely, maybe even encouraged by them to occur.
I bet they were prepared for the violence to involve
the police, as seeing during the response to the recent
Golden Gate Bridge response. That response likely would have been
conducted with the minimum force necessary, but played up for
(08:27):
the most dramatic effect by the protesters because the violence
occurring was reportedly limited to the protesters and though they'd
arguably antagonized, not the public at large. It was wise
to respond to that incident only when a strong enough
force was created to prevail without significant physical.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Force, and it was almost cops got there three hours.
It's amazing that nobody got seriously injured or killed.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
In that amount of time.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well, two things I think about that. Well, One, you
can't run a society like this. Two, this is going
to work against the hippies in the long run. The
counter protesters, if that's what we're gonna call these people,
are gonna catch on to the fact that, oh, cops
don't show up because it's so.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Easy to get sudent.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
All right, we'll show up with our sticks and we'll
clear this out the way we want to.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, And again we're not encouraging that. It's mathematics. It's
like the physics of the situation if you allow leftist
agitators to break the law threaten Jewish students. In this case,
it'll be somebody different down the road and threaten to
bring down civilization. People who are fans of civilization are
going to respond, Well.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
These new guidelines or rules, or there's gonna have to
get some new legal precedent because you're gonna have a
situation like, yeah, to UCLA, we have a three hour battle,
and then when you clear it all out, you got
a dozen dead people and the cops weren't there for
three hours, and we're gonna have to change the way
we approach this.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, that's an interesting question.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You can't just lay back for three hours and let
this happen. I mean, that's not reality. I understand. I
completely understand what that person just said and why it happened.
That makes sense because I hadn't heard anything that made sense.
But we can't operate like that. That's not gonna work. Well,
what's what's the alternative?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Because I'm not sure you got the last point, which
is the smaller force you go in with, the more
likely it is you're really gonna have to hurt somebody.
If you go in with a massive overwhelming force. It's
gonna end very very quickly. And you're not gonna have
to night stick people or whatever because you got so
many guys that takes three hours to get there.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
We just we can't. I don't think the history of
law enforcement has been you let melees go on for
three hours before to get enough people before you show up.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And that's the way we've done it throughout history, is
it No, I guess not. It's but in the middle
of the night. Otherwise, what are you gonna have a barracks?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're gonna have barracks full of swap guys who can
show up, three hundred of them at a moment's notice,
all the time, in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's not gonna happen. Woy.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I don't remember any time in my lifetime this happening.
Do you a three hour pitched battle? Well, no, and
everybody knew it was going on with no cops.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Worth mentioning there were three hundred counter protesters the other night. See,
you have maybe seven hundred people involved in a melee,
and what are you gonna do send fifty cops in there?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, there's something missing from this piece, because, like I said,
I don't remember this ever happening in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, the Marxist seven gotten that far in your life,
except you know, maybe when we were little children, I suppose,
So it was different. That was very different. The anti
Vietnam War protests were very different. You had young people
being sent to die in a war. A lot of
people didn't support. This is just various excuses for neo
Marxists to say, let's tear down the system.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So something is different, and I don't know what it is,
but something is different than it has been in my
lifetime because you didn't have three hour battles with no
cops showing up.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So maybe it's.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You don't let the fort get built in the first place,
so you don't ever end up in this situation.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well that's one hundred percent the conclusion.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, I'm just I'm racking my memory for situations where
you had hundreds of people on each side beating the
hell out of each other at all.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, I can think of some of the protest counter
protests in Portland for a while. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Beginning to end, something is different, and the something that's
different might be allowing the fort to get built in
the first place to where you're in an impossible situation.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, and we were on this a lot. The ugliness,
the political violence from the left that was constant in
Portland for one hundred and twelve nights in a row.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It was just violent leftist protests that was ignored by
the uncomfortable media.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Man, But the problem was the leadership of Portland let
it grow to the point that it was extremely difficult
to contain.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Having watched the coverage of Columbia, can you imagine if
Portland had happened in New Jersey or Upper Manhattan the
coverage it would have gotten because they got no coverage
in Portland. You can weigh in any of this anytime
you want. Text line four one five two nine five KFTC.
If you drive a GM your car may have been
spying on you and you didn't know that you agreed
to it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Among other things we can talk about stay here, Armstrong and.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
The House passed to Billy has today that would end
federal protection for gray wolves and remove them from the
endangered species list. And you know what that means. The
mcwolf is back.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What is right? Wow?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
So we have been saying for years on the Armstrong
and Getty show that we believe that if they can
spy on you, they are spying on you. And that
has turned out to be true. Like always, if there's
a microphone on it or a camera on it, they
might tell you, and they might tell you even the
legal print that they're not using the camera or the
(13:59):
microphone to listen unless you agree to it. But over
and over and over again, it turns out they are,
whether it's Facebook or Tesla or whoever the hell. And
here's the latest one with the General Motors how GM
tricked millions of drivers into being spied on. This reporter
for the New York Times had been on this story
for a very very long time wondering why their auto
(14:22):
insurance had gone up so much, and it's because GM
was sending all their driving info to the insurance company,
and the insurance company thought, you know, you're too much
of a risk, we're going to raise your insurance. And
they hadn't opted into any sort of you can spy
on me program whatsoever, And GM denied that they were
being spied on. Now there's lawsuits and all this different
sort of stuff, but they bought a GM manufactured twenty
(14:44):
twenty three Chevrolet Bolt in December, and they became aware
of all this sort of stuff. I won't bog you
down with that, but they got into the Lexus Nexus Report,
which I guess you can get into somehow, and the
information is there, these car companies spying on you. And
they found two hundred and three trips that we had
taken in the car since January, including the distance, the start,
(15:07):
the end times, how often we heard breaked or accelerated rapidly,
one hundred and seventy hard break events, twenty four rapid
acceleration events, all being kept track of by GM, and
then them giving it to your insurance company, which I
don't know what kind of deals being made between the
car companies and the insurance companies. I don't know what
the incentive is for general motors. But and they they
(15:28):
hadn't opted into any of this sort of stuff. On
theirs that said zero speeding events on mine, it would
not say zero speeding events if they alerted.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
My insurance company to they dropped me by noon. And
it's not an I know, and that's not an if.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
It's a when this is all coming for all of
us I think, I just I think it's inevitable and
there's not going to be any getting around it. It's
going to be a you opt in or we're not
going to ensure you. Don't you think that's coming?
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. I keep waiting for it. Yeah, And
that'll change driving for everything either side of the lovely
Safe Driver's discounts. Soon it will be unsafe drivers dropped
or searcharge and we're going to figure out through technical means,
who's the safe driver news not. GM spokesperson told The
New York Times that the data collection happened only to
(16:16):
people who turned on on Star. So this reporter went
into her on Star on her Smart driver app on
her GM, and she was not signed up for it,
had never been signed up for it, didn't even know
how to sign up for it, or if you had
bub what is the other thing, the listening to music
service or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Didn't have that either.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But then they went onto the website and there's some
sort of on Star Smart Driver Plus that apparently they
were logged into but didn't know what that was. And
GM said, it's a discrepancy. But between the app and
the website, it must be some sort of bug once again,
just like all these companies have told you it was
some sort of bug that they spied on you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
If they can spy on you, they are. It has
happened over.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
And over and over again, and you just need to
know it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It's a bug. And somehow the data got to the
insurance company.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Right, are you kidding me? How stupid do you think
we are?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Don't answer that question. Wow, Yeah, they're spying. So more
on the Marxist college protests, Russia, on the Marsch nobody's
talking about Russia anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
They're still chanting, saying we will not leave. We will
not stop you see divest, we will not stop, we
will not leave you see divevest. And then they're saying
that palace time will go on and lift forever, or
that they will not be leaving. Officers now going individually
and asking them one on one, are you gonna leave optional?
(17:47):
Are you gonna lea voluntarily? They say no, and then
they're being walked away like that and zip tide. So
they're starting that process. The line keeps moving in and
then officers are moving their helmets and I'm walking him over.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Who da That is KTLA's reporter on the scene at
UCLA at about five thirty in the morning Pacific time.
The police, if you haven't heard this, have moved in
and removed the camp, the.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Fort that was built in UCLA's campus.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Well, yeah, and that's a very anodyne way of describing it.
It was a melee, it was a battle, it was
a It was the TV they were hoping for the
other night at Columbia when they were going wall to
wall coverage on it. I mean, this would have been
way better must see TV for cable news channels if.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It had happened while while everybody was watching.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, you call me anadyne. I call myself a matter
of fact, I don't engage in your sensationalism, sir. Police
moved in and did what they needed to do. William
laugeness with some details thirty two.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Michael.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
The interesting thing is while the universe, who is telling
these people you know, they're going to be arrested, they
might face disciplinary action simultaneously that on social media, the
people on the inside they saw they were calling for
students to show up and come down here to the
plaza right now to try to reinforce now we said
some police.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Officers had to go click.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Coop and area here, but right now there is almost
every officer who was here.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Are you going to go in? They're now on the inside.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So they were calling out students, Yeah, students and other radicals,
non student radicals William to come and reinforce them, beef
up their numbers.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I mean, since this is audio and you haven't seen
the videos, which are really quite amazing, there's smoke everywhere.
There's bright lights going off with these flash bombs that
the cops are throwing. The protesters have those big giant
metal barricades up over their heads and they're running at
the cops with them, pushing them back, hitting them with things,
throwing fire extinguishers at him as the cops are trying
to push back against them. I mean, it was it
(19:48):
was well, it had a real January sixth look to it.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, the cops are dressed like the most well equipped
riot police you've ever seen in your life. People are
getting bear sprayed, people are shining bright lights in the
cops faces and fighting them.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
People are getting yanked to the ground and arrested them.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Why the hoodie grabbed him by the hoodie luggy.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
He pulled it by the hoodie.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
That's our favorite here, that clip yesterday. We really ought
to have that isolated so we can use Did.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
You see that he grabbed him by the hoodie.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Oh, no hoodie violences. We were warned by the founding
fathers against said well, of course, the eighth Amendments is
says you can't pull people.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Well by the hoodie.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
There's drawn and quartered, there's the rack, there's the iron maiden,
and there's being pulled by the hoodie. They're all they're
all legal. Oh chilling thirty three, Michael.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
That was the unusual thing. After declaring this in an
awful assemble assembly on Tuesday, you would have thought the
university would have reinforced that by stopping people from coming
and going as they please, from getting additional individuals as
well as all the items.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You mentioned from hoo depot. That didn't happen, and that
was unusual.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
After the counter protests a day or so ago, it
was amazing to see them bring in zip ties to
bring these fences together to reinforce the wood, and continuing
up until the time that we arrived here tonight, they
were still resupplying themselves. So there is no effort on
the university's part to stop this from taking through, not
just a week ago, not just a day ago, but
(21:23):
even today.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And I love the idea of if you this is
an illegal assembly, if you do not leave, you may
be disciplined by the university.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
What do you mean you may? I still don't get
why the parent.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
As a university leader, just as a dog trainer, there's
no such thing as hey, if you disobey, there may
be a consequence.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I still don't understand why they're so hesitant to boot
these college kids. So all these colleges that we're talking about,
for the most parts, certainly these you know, the really
famous ones, their acceptance rate is like somewhere between three
and five percent of the applicants get in. You got
plenty of people willing to come and pay your exorbitant
cost to the whole Well, they're the customers.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
They don't want to.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
That doesn't make sense to me. Why don't you say
you're suspended, Okay, now you're expelled, and we got plenty
of people that want to come here.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think it's two things.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's in addition to what I've said before, it's fear
of lawsuits, and they are very sympathetic to the radical left.
To students, they taught them what they've they're acting out
on the quad. How can they then be outraged?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, if you agree with the man, it's a little
harder to suspend them.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
This is Bill Maligion. There you go. What was that dear.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Pulled you by the hoodie? They blanking pulled him by
the hoodie. Oh my god, the humanity Bill Maligion here
with a unintentionally hilarious note from the UCLA Brave Marxist Protest.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
This is a list of things that people inside this
camp say they need donated to them. On that list
again in gluten free food, super bright flashlights with strobe capability,
rope and zip ties, helmets, shield and wood, knee pads
and elbow pads, lotion, no sunscreen, then goggles and gas masks.
They also ask that everything be BDS compliant, meaning boycott,
(23:16):
divestment and sanctions. Essentially, don't give them anything that has
anything to do with Israel.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So they need vegan food, gluten free food, and lotion.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
You people make my ass tired. But at the same time,
the equipment to beat cops, yes, to try to hurt comps.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So that's just so weird.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I need loads it handles, helmets, masks, and lotion because
my knees get so scay when I'm fighting.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
The CHP, I know, so flaky.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
My elbows get rough when I'm trying to tear down capitalism.
So if I can have some lotion, I appreciate it.
And please, gluten makes me so gassy. Can you get
me some gluten free food?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Please.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I'm trying to destroy America and I really hate eat meat.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right, it's hard to chant death to America when you're
belching from too much clutant. I really feel like I
could beat a lot of them in an armrest contest.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I think that's true, even at your advanced age.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Meanwhile, at the University of North Carolina, which is way
way left, trust me, I may be well acquainted with
somebody who's been on the faculty there. Anti Israel protesters
targeted the American flag on the quad at Chapel Hill.
There had been flying it half masked after four Charlotte
police officers and marshalls were killed in the line of
(24:37):
duty the other day. A story we haven't really talked about.
A lunatic gunned down actually eight cops, four of them fatally.
Just a nightmare. So these anti Israel pro Hamas protesters
are trying to tear down the flag that's flying at
half masked. At one point they replaced it with a
Palestinian flag, in raging students and inspiring members from a
(24:58):
fraternity there to take said Dan, a junior studying polyscie
at the university, quote, I don't understand how people can.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Act like this.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
So he is one of over a few dozen students
who stood up to the mob of hundreds as they
tried to desecrate the flag. He and his fellow classmates
held a flag for over an hour till the cops
were able to clear the protest and safely hoisted back
on the flag pole. All the while the students had
profanity screamed out of middle fingers who cares, but also bottles,
(25:25):
rocks and water being thrown at them. We're looking in
every direction, he said, it was stuff lying in. We'd
say heads up, we covered each other, we'd look out
for other people, and it did hurt our arms. It
was like an arm day workout for me that day,
no gym afterward. It was exhausting, but it was a
beautiful moment. He said, it shows that based on the
number of people, they're nice, normal, strong boys protecting America's flag.
(25:46):
There's nothing more patriotic, nothing more genuine, nothing more inspiring
than that. And at one point somebody said I'll die
before I let them get this flag, and a bunch
of other guys I said, yeah, if you get any closer,
we're going to start throwing hands.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We're not going anywhere. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
They're going to have to tear me off this flag
over my dead body. Somebody started to go funding me, Paige,
so those that fraternity could have a party to celebrate,
and it's raised over two hundred and sixty five thousand
dollars at this point to have a party. Yes, well
that's going to be some party. You can hire the
Rolling Stones. Wow, sure they wouldn't, but good for them.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So I just saw this headline Joe Scarborough blasts and
MSNBC viewers who are too stupid to see that these
campus protests are hurting Biden's reelection chances changed another channel.
If you don't get it, Yeah, that seems to be
lost on the left too.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Do you think.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Most Americans are more likely to vote for Trump or
less likely to vote for Trump as they watch these
crazy college kids.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I mean, come on, are you even asking the question, hey,
do you still have handy?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
What Mark Halpern said and his a newsletter about the
President's silence on this mayhem thus.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Far, I can paraphrase it more or less that he
said that Biden's handlers don't believe he's currently got the
rhetorical ability to meet the moment. That is why we
have not heard from the president. Wow, that is amazing.
So it's nineteen sixty eight, and instead of having any
(27:24):
leadership that can come out and speak about it, you
got a guy eyed in the White House because he's
too old to talk that.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Important foreign products I'm explorting for their products.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
This is horrifying. It's something for a superpower. I mean,
in a dangerous time, they can't have the president say
anything because they don't think he can. As I've said
many times in discussing Joe Biden and his electoral prospects,
and I've been predicting now for a year and a
half that he would not actually be the nominee come November.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That's another step down.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
The road of he's not capable of doing the job,
and I think it's a significant one. Most people won't
hear what Mark Halpern said or hear that leaked story,
because it'll be suppressed with every fiber that the mainstream
media has. But that's a shocking I'd say it's a
shocking thing to say. It's a shocking reality that Halpern's describing.
(28:27):
I think what he said was very matter of fact
and probably on hundred percent true.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
So what do we got May, June, July, August, four
and a half months, Well, we don't need all of August.
It's the middle of August, so three and a half
months to the Democratic Convention. Man, if this is still
going hot and heavy, like anything close to this, mean,
you can't have a convention where you nominate Joe Biden
(28:53):
with cops fighting protesters in the streets and him not
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Well, they'll jab him full of Riddlin or whatever drug
they give him coain to.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Do Hunter's coke.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, to give a speech at the convention, and he
will be all fired up and probably yelled the whole
thing like he did the State of the Union and
gibber like he's a co kiad.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But come on, But.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
They can only do that a certain amount because those
drugs have side effects, and he's a very old man.
But they the fact that he can't come out and say,
all right, look, we cherish free speech, but you can't
break the law.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
We gotta have law and order.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We sympathize with the people of golah blah blah blah.
I mean, I could write him that speech in two
minutes and stick it in front of him, but he
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
That's shocking.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Remember, I don't think we talked about this or played
the audio. But last week when he was asked about this,
it's the only time he's commented on microphone. He said,
anti Semitism is wrong, and we came all out in
the United States. But people also need to understand the
cause of the Palestinians. So he base sickly said there
are good people on both sides, the exact same thing
(30:03):
that everybody mocked Trump for saying about Charlottesville and Joe
Biden claiming that's the reason he had to run for
president because when he saw the evil in those people's
eyes calling for the death of the Jews, what are
you talking about t happening right now at a much
greater level.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Right, they're completely dishonest. They pretend to be aggrieved or
pretend to believe something. I don't know that they believe
anything honestly.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
But I won't do it right here because we just
did some Biden bashing. But Washington Post has got a
great rundown of the tall tales Joe Biden is told
just recently from the Washington Boast.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh, come on, don't hold back on us.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
It's pretty good, it's pretty entertaining. It's funny. That's funny.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
We'll do it well.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
There have been a couple of signs they've ebbed and
they've flowed that the WAPO, which is a very left paper,
The WAPO makes the New York Times look like the
Wall Street Journal at this point. The Wappo's increasingly visibly
terrified by the idea of a Joe Biden candidacy.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
So hate his policy on supporting Israel. So maybe that's
part of it. I don't know. Anyway, we had a
lot on the ways.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Stay here, I want to come our Republican friends, get ready, Bell,
You're gonna enter a problem.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
The Federal Reserve leaving interest rates unchanged, sided the lack
of progress and bringing inflation down to its two percent target.
But Fed Chief jer Own Powell did ease some fears,
saying that any interest rate hike is unlikely.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, you mean lack of progress and bringing inflation down
in that it's going up. That is a lack of progress.
But man, if you were on the sidelines for buying
a house like I am, hoping that maybe interest rates
would come down, they ain't.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
And we all got to readjust our heads.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Even though I know factually we were saying this at
the time, interest rates are never gonna be You're never
gonna buy a house at two point seventy five percent
ever again. Maybe ever again in the history of the world.
Certainly not ever again in your in our lifetimes. It's
just that was a weird, crazy blip, which is one
reason why nobody's selling their houses, because you know, a
(32:11):
lot of people know that, but it's hard to just
get in your head.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
So they're like eight percent now or whatever they are now.
I mean, it could go way down to.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Five and you're still gonna feel like you're getting ripped
off compared to that weird low period. It's probably not
a good exercise to compare what your house payment would
be now as opposed to then, or how much house
you buy now as opposed to then. It's useless, but
it's like compulsive.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Nobody can stop themselves from doing it, both consumers and
media outlines.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
But it obviously makes the math so difficult. If you've
got a house payment on a house right now that
you're paying three you got a three percent mortgage, then
you have to mathematically compare it to what you're gonna buy.
I mean, there's no getting around it. It's not and
it just doesn't work. I mean, there's no way you're
gonna have to get like half the house have the
same payment. It's the difficult to come up with a
(33:03):
circumstance where that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, but I feel like a lot of this what
I was describing is like going to your spouse and saying, honey,
I've prepared this chart for how much sex we had
on our honeymoon versus last week. I think you can
see there's been a steep drop off and is no,
it's that's not gonna happen again. An update on the
dog shooting Governor so Christynoma, South Dakota. My home state
(33:27):
where I was born, and she, for some reason decided
to put in her memoir that she took the dog
and a goat into a gravel pit and shot them both.
I guess you supposed to make her look make her
look decisive and earthy, tough, makes the tough decisions even
when they're not pleasant.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I would say the Manhattan elite crowd is going nuts
over this. Are out of touch with rural life, as
I've said, and the fact that this is fairly common.
I would say that she has been in rural South Dakota,
all of South Dakota's rural, even the cities and cities.
But I would say that she's out of touch with
like suburban America, where this is not near as palatable
(34:10):
as she thinks it is, so probably shouldn't have been
in her book.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh, it's remarkable political tone deafness. She did nothing wrong,
but you just gotta you gotta read the room.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
She was on Hannity last night explaining how she was
actually the second owner of an already troubled dog, took
in a dog that somebody else said they couldn't deal with,
and she took it in and they couldn't deal with
it either, and she shot it, and that's what happens
on lots of lots of rural properties all across the country.
But she ain't gonna be the vice president because of that,
so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I appreciate her hanging in and defending her shooting.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Of the puppy.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I mean, you just say it, and the discussion has
been had r but there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
What do you followed that up with?
Speaker 7 (34:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
No, no, you misunderstand why I shot the puppy.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
It just sounds so terrible. So you think she should
just stop talking about it. She can't walk it back. No,
I think it's probably appropriate.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
She explained it in a reasonable way, but now let
it drop and maybe take the book back out of
circulation to remove that.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
So if somebody asks her about it, she should say, well,
you know, what people really care about is inflation.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And then you just start talking about that. That's pretty
good idea too.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Don't continue to explain why you shot the dog.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Put in a new chapter in the book explaining why
you shot a cat out of a cannon or something.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
That's probably not a good idea, though, Armstrong and Getty
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
The students had umbrellas, they had blockades, we faculty had
We just had our banner, and we're there to support
the students, so we wanted to make sure that they
knew we're here. We had our banner, We're here to
do whatever you need for us to do. So a
bunch of folks are also getting getting arrested. A bunch
(00:36):
of the faculty are getting arrested.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
That's a UCLA dance instructor. And you probably can tell
by the sound of her voice. She's talking through a
mask because she's worried she'll be identified. This is all
so exhausting. Overnight the cops cleared out the UCLA illegal
camp fort.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It was a fort. It was absolutely a fort.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Anyway, I'm watching some of the newest video that one
was that was one violent melee.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I mean, there was a full on.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Hand to hand combat battle between cops and protesters and
they're throwing big chunks of metal epic cops and spraying
them with bear spray, shining bright lights in their eyes
to try to blind them. Yeah, and keeping in mind
friends for the millions time and you'll hear it a
million more. Yeah, there are a lot of UCLA students there.
(01:26):
There were also many many.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Professional Marxist agitators who go from site to site because
they want to tear down Western civilization.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I want to hear one more clip from the dance
instructor who was there to show her support.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And so what's happening is that they just started infiltrating
through each corner of the encampment, and also they were
throwing noise bombs into the encampment to kind of scare people.
So unfortunately, you know, the way that it all came,
(02:00):
the way that it all broke down, was more more
aggression from the police than from us. We were literally
just trying to stand our.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Ground, stand your ground in your illegal encampment calling for
the genocide of Jews. Yes right, We were only trying
to stand there and continue to chant more or less
kill all the Jews. It's all we're doing. What I'm sorry,
Fuzzy bears tapping me on the shoulder. He wants to
(02:34):
say something. What Fuzzy hey hif hey, yif o, jackass,
that's not half a f Oh, I don't know that acronym.
F around and find out. Okay, as the kids say, yeah.
In other words, you messed around, and you messed with
the hive and you got the bees.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
This is my favorite thing.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
This is before the cops went in last night, when
the protesters were still there. Uh anti israel Ula protesters
request shields, helmets and vegan and gluten free donations.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Wow, yeah, some beef eaten boys are about to come
in and what for.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, when the big guys whoever they are, they Armenians
or the Jewish supporters or whoever they were, they came in,
nobody knows quite yet.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
They came in there with those big poles to beat
him on the head.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
A friend of mine just hates some gluten and he's
really not feeling good.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
My friend is too gassy to fight you right now.
Unfriggin believable. A bunch of cry bullies. They're brave Marxist
revolutionaries can overthrow the world. But then they throw themselves
to the ground and cry you're hurting me, you're hurting me,
to try to get.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Good footage outs. But as you point fall for it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
But as you pointed out, the two sides of the
coin of their nuttiness is one like super weak and
I mockable with the gluten free this and you want
us to die. We can't even have a glass of water.
And then you start to touching my hoodie. He grabbed
me by the hoodie. But what they're advocating is the
murder of Jews, right, yeah, yeah, well that's the cause today.
(04:15):
Tomorrow it'll be trans rites or Black Lives Matter or whatever.
They're just Marxists, as Portress Colors said on videotape, Oh yeah,
we're trained Marxists.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We have urgent pay a.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Wedge issue and then say this is why we need
to tear down Western.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Civilization they put I guess the cops got there. Before
they got all this stuff. The protesters had put out
a statement their urgent need please send us helmets, shields,
wood for barriers, elbow and knee pads, and gluten and
vegan meals, gluten free and vegan meals.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
That's just too BID's funny. That's that's the Babylon pe
Surely now is there act that's for real? Posts that
they put out.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
We got more in the time line of how things
went down last night on the UCLA campus. It's pretty
exciting to hear again. Catch the video. It's not getting
near as much attention as it should. It was a
violent clush. If that was some sort of right wing
supporters battling cops over something.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh my god, that would be a huge story today.
But it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It was a progressive weirdos and nothing to see here.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Very frust from the mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, yeah, it is very frustrating, especially because these people
are hell bent on overthrowing the country.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You got a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Dopes who can't get a girlfriend in Charlottesville chanting the
Jews will not replace us.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The world comes to a stop.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Joe Biden decides he needs to run to the for
the presidency, and it's a national moment of reckoning. You
got college campus is full of people saying worse, and
the media says nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
So the oily haired governor of California finally put out
a statement about this, but none of it had anything
to do with Hey, you.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Got to let Jews go to class, You gotta let
Jews in the world library. Yeah, is that right? That's something.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, let's hear fifty seven Michaels, Stephanie Ramos of ABC A.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Disturbing turn and UCLA with an all out drawl after
counter protesters trying to break down a pro Palestinian encampment.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Fistfights erupting, people.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Hitting each other with wood and long sticks, using metal
barricade as weapons. This is the moment someone threw a
firewalk into the protest encampment, the violence unfolding for more
than two hours before police and riot gear moved in.
Governor Gavin Newsom saying the delayed response by law enforcement
was unacceptable and demands answers well several hours before UCLA
(06:42):
called for the cops.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
If I understand correctly, I don't know that. I've got
a perspective from a peace officer here. If you're curious
to hear that, I've been.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Very curious since for you know, twenty four hours now,
Why so long? How do you have a battle like
that on a campus with no police around?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What the hell is dous? This is?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You ought to know your numb skull. So you have
to keep in mind this is very liberal LA. This
is a very liberal college campus, and the idea calling
the cops out is anathema to the You know the
far left faculty, I'm sure, and the feckless spinalist leadership
of the university. So I don't know when they asked
(07:22):
the cops to show up, but al anonymous the cops
says a few macro issues were likely in play. California
law passed following the Floyd incident murder makes officers criminally
liable for failing to employ all reasonable less lethal options
prior to using deadly force. C Alameda County deputy being
prosecuted for shooting at a Walmart recently for a shooting
(07:45):
at a Walmart recently. Major tenant of the wacky das
rationale for prosecution was that he failed to wait for
additional officers before entering the walmart. Responding to the UCLA instant,
piecemeal or with an inadequate staff increases the likelihood of
the use of signing magnificant force by the officers who
do respond. Studies show that most cops don't want to
go to prison, and the Scotises ruled that police have
(08:07):
responsibility to the public at large rather than an individual.
The protesters put themselves in a position where the eventual
outcome was likely, maybe even encouraged by them to occur.
I bet they were prepared for the violence to involve
the police, as seeing during the response to the recent
Golden Gate Bridge response. That response likely would have been
conducted with the minimum force necessary, but played up for
(08:27):
the most dramatic effect by the protesters because the violence
occurring was reportedly limited to the protesters and though they'd
arguably antagonized, not the public at large. It was wise
to respond to that incident only when a strong enough
force was created to prevail without significant physical.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Force, and it was almost cops got there three hours.
It's amazing that nobody got seriously injured or killed.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
In that amount of time.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well, two things I think about that. Well, One, you
can't run a society like this. Two, this is going
to work against the hippies in the long run. The
counter protesters, if that's what we're gonna call these people,
are gonna catch on to the fact that, oh, cops
don't show up because it's so.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Easy to get sudent.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
All right, we'll show up with our sticks and we'll
clear this out the way we want to.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, And again we're not encouraging that. It's mathematics. It's
like the physics of the situation if you allow leftist
agitators to break the law threaten Jewish students. In this case,
it'll be somebody different down the road and threaten to
bring down civilization. People who are fans of civilization are
going to respond, Well.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
These new guidelines or rules, or there's gonna have to
get some new legal precedent because you're gonna have a
situation like, yeah, to UCLA, we have a three hour battle,
and then when you clear it all out, you got
a dozen dead people and the cops weren't there for
three hours, and we're gonna have to change the way
we approach this.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, that's an interesting question.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You can't just lay back for three hours and let
this happen. I mean, that's not reality. I understand. I
completely understand what that person just said and why it happened.
That makes sense because I hadn't heard anything that made sense.
But we can't operate like that. That's not gonna work. Well,
what's what's the alternative?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Because I'm not sure you got the last point, which
is the smaller force you go in with, the more
likely it is you're really gonna have to hurt somebody.
If you go in with a massive overwhelming force. It's
gonna end very very quickly. And you're not gonna have
to night stick people or whatever because you got so
many guys that takes three hours to get there.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
We just we can't. I don't think the history of
law enforcement has been you let melees go on for
three hours before to get enough people before you show up.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And that's the way we've done it throughout history, is
it No, I guess not. It's but in the middle
of the night. Otherwise, what are you gonna have a barracks?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're gonna have barracks full of swap guys who can
show up, three hundred of them at a moment's notice,
all the time, in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's not gonna happen. Woy.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I don't remember any time in my lifetime this happening.
Do you a three hour pitched battle? Well, no, and
everybody knew it was going on with no cops.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Worth mentioning there were three hundred counter protesters the other night. See,
you have maybe seven hundred people involved in a melee,
and what are you gonna do send fifty cops in there?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, there's something missing from this piece, because, like I said,
I don't remember this ever happening in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, the Marxist seven gotten that far in your life,
except you know, maybe when we were little children, I suppose,
So it was different. That was very different. The anti
Vietnam War protests were very different. You had young people
being sent to die in a war. A lot of
people didn't support. This is just various excuses for neo
Marxists to say, let's tear down the system.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So something is different, and I don't know what it is,
but something is different than it has been in my
lifetime because you didn't have three hour battles with no
cops showing up.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So maybe it's.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You don't let the fort get built in the first place,
so you don't ever end up in this situation.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well that's one hundred percent the conclusion.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, I'm just I'm racking my memory for situations where
you had hundreds of people on each side beating the
hell out of each other at all.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, I can think of some of the protest counter
protests in Portland for a while. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Beginning to end, something is different, and the something that's
different might be allowing the fort to get built in
the first place to where you're in an impossible situation.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, and we were on this a lot. The ugliness,
the political violence from the left that was constant in
Portland for one hundred and twelve nights in a row.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It was just violent leftist protests that was ignored by
the uncomfortable media.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Man, But the problem was the leadership of Portland let
it grow to the point that it was extremely difficult
to contain.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Having watched the coverage of Columbia, can you imagine if
Portland had happened in New Jersey or Upper Manhattan the
coverage it would have gotten because they got no coverage
in Portland. You can weigh in any of this anytime
you want. Text line four one five two nine five KFTC.
If you drive a GM your car may have been
spying on you and you didn't know that you agreed
to it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Among other things we can talk about stay here, Armstrong and.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
The House passed to Billy has today that would end
federal protection for gray wolves and remove them from the
endangered species list. And you know what that means. The
mcwolf is back.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What is right? Wow?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
So we have been saying for years on the Armstrong
and Getty show that we believe that if they can
spy on you, they are spying on you. And that
has turned out to be true. Like always, if there's
a microphone on it or a camera on it, they
might tell you, and they might tell you even the
legal print that they're not using the camera or the
(13:59):
microphone to listen unless you agree to it. But over
and over and over again, it turns out they are,
whether it's Facebook or Tesla or whoever the hell. And
here's the latest one with the General Motors how GM
tricked millions of drivers into being spied on. This reporter
for the New York Times had been on this story
for a very very long time wondering why their auto
(14:22):
insurance had gone up so much, and it's because GM
was sending all their driving info to the insurance company,
and the insurance company thought, you know, you're too much
of a risk, we're going to raise your insurance. And
they hadn't opted into any sort of you can spy
on me program whatsoever, And GM denied that they were
being spied on. Now there's lawsuits and all this different
sort of stuff, but they bought a GM manufactured twenty
(14:44):
twenty three Chevrolet Bolt in December, and they became aware
of all this sort of stuff. I won't bog you
down with that, but they got into the Lexus Nexus Report,
which I guess you can get into somehow, and the
information is there, these car companies spying on you. And
they found two hundred and three trips that we had
taken in the car since January, including the distance, the start,
(15:07):
the end times, how often we heard breaked or accelerated rapidly,
one hundred and seventy hard break events, twenty four rapid
acceleration events, all being kept track of by GM, and
then them giving it to your insurance company, which I
don't know what kind of deals being made between the
car companies and the insurance companies. I don't know what
the incentive is for general motors. But and they they
(15:28):
hadn't opted into any of this sort of stuff. On
theirs that said zero speeding events on mine, it would
not say zero speeding events if they alerted.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
My insurance company to they dropped me by noon. And
it's not an I know, and that's not an if.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
It's a when this is all coming for all of
us I think, I just I think it's inevitable and
there's not going to be any getting around it. It's
going to be a you opt in or we're not
going to ensure you. Don't you think that's coming?
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. I keep waiting for it. Yeah, And
that'll change driving for everything either side of the lovely
Safe Driver's discounts. Soon it will be unsafe drivers dropped
or searcharge and we're going to figure out through technical means,
who's the safe driver news not. GM spokesperson told The
New York Times that the data collection happened only to
(16:16):
people who turned on on Star. So this reporter went
into her on Star on her Smart driver app on
her GM, and she was not signed up for it,
had never been signed up for it, didn't even know
how to sign up for it, or if you had
bub what is the other thing, the listening to music
service or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Didn't have that either.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But then they went onto the website and there's some
sort of on Star Smart Driver Plus that apparently they
were logged into but didn't know what that was. And
GM said, it's a discrepancy. But between the app and
the website, it must be some sort of bug once again,
just like all these companies have told you it was
some sort of bug that they spied on you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
If they can spy on you, they are. It has
happened over.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
And over and over again, and you just need to
know it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It's a bug. And somehow the data got to the
insurance company.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Right, are you kidding me? How stupid do you think
we are?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Don't answer that question. Wow, Yeah, they're spying. So more
on the Marxist college protests, Russia, on the Marsch nobody's
talking about Russia anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
They're still chanting, saying we will not leave. We will
not stop you see divest, we will not stop, we
will not leave you see divevest. And then they're saying
that palace time will go on and lift forever, or
that they will not be leaving. Officers now going individually
and asking them one on one, are you gonna leave optional?
(17:47):
Are you gonna lea voluntarily? They say no, and then
they're being walked away like that and zip tide. So
they're starting that process. The line keeps moving in and
then officers are moving their helmets and I'm walking him over.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Who da That is KTLA's reporter on the scene at
UCLA at about five thirty in the morning Pacific time.
The police, if you haven't heard this, have moved in
and removed the camp, the.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Fort that was built in UCLA's campus.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Well, yeah, and that's a very anodyne way of describing it.
It was a melee, it was a battle, it was
a It was the TV they were hoping for the
other night at Columbia when they were going wall to
wall coverage on it. I mean, this would have been
way better must see TV for cable news channels if.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It had happened while while everybody was watching.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, you call me anadyne. I call myself a matter
of fact, I don't engage in your sensationalism, sir. Police
moved in and did what they needed to do. William
laugeness with some details thirty two.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Michael.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
The interesting thing is while the universe, who is telling
these people you know, they're going to be arrested, they
might face disciplinary action simultaneously that on social media, the
people on the inside they saw they were calling for
students to show up and come down here to the
plaza right now to try to reinforce now we said
some police.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Officers had to go click.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Coop and area here, but right now there is almost
every officer who was here.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Are you going to go in? They're now on the inside.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So they were calling out students, Yeah, students and other radicals,
non student radicals William to come and reinforce them, beef
up their numbers.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I mean, since this is audio and you haven't seen
the videos, which are really quite amazing, there's smoke everywhere.
There's bright lights going off with these flash bombs that
the cops are throwing. The protesters have those big giant
metal barricades up over their heads and they're running at
the cops with them, pushing them back, hitting them with things,
throwing fire extinguishers at him as the cops are trying
to push back against them. I mean, it was it
(19:48):
was well, it had a real January sixth look to it.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, the cops are dressed like the most well equipped
riot police you've ever seen in your life. People are
getting bear sprayed, people are shining bright lights in the
cops faces and fighting them.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
People are getting yanked to the ground and arrested them.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Why the hoodie grabbed him by the hoodie luggy.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
He pulled it by the hoodie.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
That's our favorite here, that clip yesterday. We really ought
to have that isolated so we can use Did.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
You see that he grabbed him by the hoodie.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Oh, no hoodie violences. We were warned by the founding
fathers against said well, of course, the eighth Amendments is
says you can't pull people.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Well by the hoodie.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
There's drawn and quartered, there's the rack, there's the iron maiden,
and there's being pulled by the hoodie. They're all they're
all legal. Oh chilling thirty three, Michael.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
That was the unusual thing. After declaring this in an
awful assemble assembly on Tuesday, you would have thought the
university would have reinforced that by stopping people from coming
and going as they please, from getting additional individuals as
well as all the items.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You mentioned from hoo depot. That didn't happen, and that
was unusual.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
After the counter protests a day or so ago, it
was amazing to see them bring in zip ties to
bring these fences together to reinforce the wood, and continuing
up until the time that we arrived here tonight, they
were still resupplying themselves. So there is no effort on
the university's part to stop this from taking through, not
just a week ago, not just a day ago, but
(21:23):
even today.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And I love the idea of if you this is
an illegal assembly, if you do not leave, you may
be disciplined by the university.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
What do you mean you may? I still don't get
why the parent.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
As a university leader, just as a dog trainer, there's
no such thing as hey, if you disobey, there may
be a consequence.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I still don't understand why they're so hesitant to boot
these college kids. So all these colleges that we're talking about,
for the most parts, certainly these you know, the really
famous ones, their acceptance rate is like somewhere between three
and five percent of the applicants get in. You got
plenty of people willing to come and pay your exorbitant
cost to the whole Well, they're the customers.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
They don't want to.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
That doesn't make sense to me. Why don't you say
you're suspended, Okay, now you're expelled, and we got plenty
of people that want to come here.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think it's two things.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's in addition to what I've said before, it's fear
of lawsuits, and they are very sympathetic to the radical left.
To students, they taught them what they've they're acting out
on the quad. How can they then be outraged?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, if you agree with the man, it's a little
harder to suspend them.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
This is Bill Maligion. There you go. What was that dear.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Pulled you by the hoodie? They blanking pulled him by
the hoodie. Oh my god, the humanity Bill Maligion here
with a unintentionally hilarious note from the UCLA Brave Marxist Protest.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
This is a list of things that people inside this
camp say they need donated to them. On that list
again in gluten free food, super bright flashlights with strobe capability,
rope and zip ties, helmets, shield and wood, knee pads
and elbow pads, lotion, no sunscreen, then goggles and gas masks.
They also ask that everything be BDS compliant, meaning boycott,
(23:16):
divestment and sanctions. Essentially, don't give them anything that has
anything to do with Israel.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So they need vegan food, gluten free food, and lotion.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
You people make my ass tired. But at the same time,
the equipment to beat cops, yes, to try to hurt comps.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So that's just so weird.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I need loads it handles, helmets, masks, and lotion because
my knees get so scay when I'm fighting.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
The CHP, I know, so flaky.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
My elbows get rough when I'm trying to tear down capitalism.
So if I can have some lotion, I appreciate it.
And please, gluten makes me so gassy. Can you get
me some gluten free food?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Please.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I'm trying to destroy America and I really hate eat meat.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right, it's hard to chant death to America when you're
belching from too much clutant. I really feel like I
could beat a lot of them in an armrest contest.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I think that's true, even at your advanced age.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Meanwhile, at the University of North Carolina, which is way
way left, trust me, I may be well acquainted with
somebody who's been on the faculty there. Anti Israel protesters
targeted the American flag on the quad at Chapel Hill.
There had been flying it half masked after four Charlotte
police officers and marshalls were killed in the line of
(24:37):
duty the other day. A story we haven't really talked about.
A lunatic gunned down actually eight cops, four of them fatally.
Just a nightmare. So these anti Israel pro Hamas protesters
are trying to tear down the flag that's flying at
half masked. At one point they replaced it with a
Palestinian flag, in raging students and inspiring members from a
(24:58):
fraternity there to take said Dan, a junior studying polyscie
at the university, quote, I don't understand how people can.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Act like this.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
So he is one of over a few dozen students
who stood up to the mob of hundreds as they
tried to desecrate the flag. He and his fellow classmates
held a flag for over an hour till the cops
were able to clear the protest and safely hoisted back
on the flag pole. All the while the students had
profanity screamed out of middle fingers who cares, but also bottles,
(25:25):
rocks and water being thrown at them. We're looking in
every direction, he said, it was stuff lying in. We'd
say heads up, we covered each other, we'd look out
for other people, and it did hurt our arms. It
was like an arm day workout for me that day,
no gym afterward. It was exhausting, but it was a
beautiful moment. He said, it shows that based on the
number of people, they're nice, normal, strong boys protecting America's flag.
(25:46):
There's nothing more patriotic, nothing more genuine, nothing more inspiring
than that. And at one point somebody said I'll die
before I let them get this flag, and a bunch
of other guys I said, yeah, if you get any closer,
we're going to start throwing hands.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We're not going anywhere. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
They're going to have to tear me off this flag
over my dead body. Somebody started to go funding me, Paige,
so those that fraternity could have a party to celebrate,
and it's raised over two hundred and sixty five thousand
dollars at this point to have a party. Yes, well
that's going to be some party. You can hire the
Rolling Stones. Wow, sure they wouldn't, but good for them.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So I just saw this headline Joe Scarborough blasts and
MSNBC viewers who are too stupid to see that these
campus protests are hurting Biden's reelection chances changed another channel.
If you don't get it, Yeah, that seems to be
lost on the left too.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Do you think.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Most Americans are more likely to vote for Trump or
less likely to vote for Trump as they watch these
crazy college kids.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I mean, come on, are you even asking the question, hey,
do you still have handy?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
What Mark Halpern said and his a newsletter about the
President's silence on this mayhem thus.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Far, I can paraphrase it more or less that he
said that Biden's handlers don't believe he's currently got the
rhetorical ability to meet the moment. That is why we
have not heard from the president. Wow, that is amazing.
So it's nineteen sixty eight, and instead of having any
(27:24):
leadership that can come out and speak about it, you
got a guy eyed in the White House because he's
too old to talk that.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Important foreign products I'm explorting for their products.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
This is horrifying. It's something for a superpower. I mean,
in a dangerous time, they can't have the president say
anything because they don't think he can. As I've said
many times in discussing Joe Biden and his electoral prospects,
and I've been predicting now for a year and a
half that he would not actually be the nominee come November.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That's another step down.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
The road of he's not capable of doing the job,
and I think it's a significant one. Most people won't
hear what Mark Halpern said or hear that leaked story,
because it'll be suppressed with every fiber that the mainstream
media has. But that's a shocking I'd say it's a
shocking thing to say. It's a shocking reality that Halpern's describing.
(28:27):
I think what he said was very matter of fact
and probably on hundred percent true.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
So what do we got May, June, July, August, four
and a half months, Well, we don't need all of August.
It's the middle of August, so three and a half
months to the Democratic Convention. Man, if this is still
going hot and heavy, like anything close to this, mean,
you can't have a convention where you nominate Joe Biden
(28:53):
with cops fighting protesters in the streets and him not
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Well, they'll jab him full of Riddlin or whatever drug
they give him coain to.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Do Hunter's coke.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, to give a speech at the convention, and he
will be all fired up and probably yelled the whole
thing like he did the State of the Union and
gibber like he's a co kiad.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But come on, But.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
They can only do that a certain amount because those
drugs have side effects, and he's a very old man.
But they the fact that he can't come out and say,
all right, look, we cherish free speech, but you can't
break the law.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
We gotta have law and order.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We sympathize with the people of golah blah blah blah.
I mean, I could write him that speech in two
minutes and stick it in front of him, but he
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
That's shocking.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Remember, I don't think we talked about this or played
the audio. But last week when he was asked about this,
it's the only time he's commented on microphone. He said,
anti Semitism is wrong, and we came all out in
the United States. But people also need to understand the
cause of the Palestinians. So he base sickly said there
are good people on both sides, the exact same thing
(30:03):
that everybody mocked Trump for saying about Charlottesville and Joe
Biden claiming that's the reason he had to run for
president because when he saw the evil in those people's
eyes calling for the death of the Jews, what are
you talking about t happening right now at a much
greater level.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Right, they're completely dishonest. They pretend to be aggrieved or
pretend to believe something. I don't know that they believe
anything honestly.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
But I won't do it right here because we just
did some Biden bashing. But Washington Post has got a
great rundown of the tall tales Joe Biden is told
just recently from the Washington Boast.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh, come on, don't hold back on us.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
It's pretty good, it's pretty entertaining. It's funny. That's funny.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
We'll do it well.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
There have been a couple of signs they've ebbed and
they've flowed that the WAPO, which is a very left paper,
The WAPO makes the New York Times look like the
Wall Street Journal at this point. The Wappo's increasingly visibly
terrified by the idea of a Joe Biden candidacy.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
So hate his policy on supporting Israel. So maybe that's
part of it. I don't know. Anyway, we had a
lot on the ways.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Stay here, I want to come our Republican friends, get ready, Bell,
You're gonna enter a problem.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
The Federal Reserve leaving interest rates unchanged, sided the lack
of progress and bringing inflation down to its two percent target.
But Fed Chief jer Own Powell did ease some fears,
saying that any interest rate hike is unlikely.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, you mean lack of progress and bringing inflation down
in that it's going up. That is a lack of progress.
But man, if you were on the sidelines for buying
a house like I am, hoping that maybe interest rates
would come down, they ain't.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
And we all got to readjust our heads.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Even though I know factually we were saying this at
the time, interest rates are never gonna be You're never
gonna buy a house at two point seventy five percent
ever again. Maybe ever again in the history of the world.
Certainly not ever again in your in our lifetimes. It's
just that was a weird, crazy blip, which is one
reason why nobody's selling their houses, because you know, a
(32:11):
lot of people know that, but it's hard to just
get in your head.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
So they're like eight percent now or whatever they are now.
I mean, it could go way down to.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Five and you're still gonna feel like you're getting ripped
off compared to that weird low period. It's probably not
a good exercise to compare what your house payment would
be now as opposed to then, or how much house
you buy now as opposed to then. It's useless, but
it's like compulsive.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Nobody can stop themselves from doing it, both consumers and
media outlines.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
But it obviously makes the math so difficult. If you've
got a house payment on a house right now that
you're paying three you got a three percent mortgage, then
you have to mathematically compare it to what you're gonna buy.
I mean, there's no getting around it. It's not and
it just doesn't work. I mean, there's no way you're
gonna have to get like half the house have the
same payment. It's the difficult to come up with a
(33:03):
circumstance where that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, but I feel like a lot of this what
I was describing is like going to your spouse and saying, honey,
I've prepared this chart for how much sex we had
on our honeymoon versus last week. I think you can
see there's been a steep drop off and is no,
it's that's not gonna happen again. An update on the
dog shooting Governor so Christynoma, South Dakota. My home state
(33:27):
where I was born, and she, for some reason decided
to put in her memoir that she took the dog
and a goat into a gravel pit and shot them both.
I guess you supposed to make her look make her
look decisive and earthy, tough, makes the tough decisions even
when they're not pleasant.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I would say the Manhattan elite crowd is going nuts
over this. Are out of touch with rural life, as
I've said, and the fact that this is fairly common.
I would say that she has been in rural South Dakota,
all of South Dakota's rural, even the cities and cities.
But I would say that she's out of touch with
like suburban America, where this is not near as palatable
(34:10):
as she thinks it is, so probably shouldn't have been
in her book.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh, it's remarkable political tone deafness. She did nothing wrong,
but you just gotta you gotta read the room.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
She was on Hannity last night explaining how she was
actually the second owner of an already troubled dog, took
in a dog that somebody else said they couldn't deal with,
and she took it in and they couldn't deal with
it either, and she shot it, and that's what happens
on lots of lots of rural properties all across the country.
But she ain't gonna be the vice president because of that,
so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I appreciate her hanging in and defending her shooting.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Of the puppy.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I mean, you just say it, and the discussion has
been had r but there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
What do you followed that up with?
Speaker 7 (34:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
No, no, you misunderstand why I shot the puppy.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
It just sounds so terrible. So you think she should
just stop talking about it. She can't walk it back. No,
I think it's probably appropriate.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
She explained it in a reasonable way, but now let
it drop and maybe take the book back out of
circulation to remove that.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
So if somebody asks her about it, she should say, well,
you know, what people really care about is inflation.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And then you just start talking about that. That's pretty
good idea too.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Don't continue to explain why you shot the dog.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Put in a new chapter in the book explaining why
you shot a cat out of a cannon or something.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
That's probably not a good idea, though, Armstrong and Getty
