0:08

Thanks. Broadcasting live

0:10

from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio,

0:12

the George Washington Broadcast Center,

0:15

Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty,

0:17

Armstrong and Getty and Key.

0:22

Armstrong and Getty.

0:31

Why the from Studio

0:33

C. Sayson. You're you

0:35

know when it's a TIMI let room deep with them. The bowels

0:38

of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound

0:41

all my bowels.

0:43

I'm wearing white shoes because we're in spring now,

0:45

it's Friday, and today we're under the

0:47

tutelage of our general manager. Armies

0:50

of illegal immigrants rushing the

0:52

border. I don't know what you're

0:54

talking about because I watched the news and I

0:56

didn't.

0:57

See it on the news.

0:58

Boy, that's odd, how surprising?

1:02

Yeah, violence, gangs of illegals

1:05

knocking down border guards and Texas

1:08

authorities rushing into

1:10

the country. Because why wouldn't they Why wouldn't

1:12

they think that was okay?

1:13

If you haven't seen the video, it's extraordinary.

1:16

I mean, it's more. It's crazier

1:18

than Joe just described. I mean, it's it's

1:22

a melee at the.

1:23

Border, angry mob demands

1:26

entry into country with a

1:28

whole bunch of and

1:31

and I'm not trying to play the everybody

1:34

crossing the border is a bad guy card, because.

1:36

Most people aren't.

1:37

They're just people that think, geez,

1:40

the greatest country and Earth's letting people in.

1:43

Sign me up. What do you have to do

1:45

to get in? Just go, just go in.

1:47

That's no, surely there's paperwork, Well

1:49

there's a little, but just go. I would go too,

1:52

But man, there was an awful lot of young,

1:54

strong guys with neck tattoos

1:56

pushing over US

1:59

city's sworn to try to protect

2:02

the border. Yes, this army

2:05

of guys who attacked the guards there was

2:07

almost entirely I'm saying

2:09

almost just because I heard it described as

2:12

almost entirely. All I saw were military

2:15

age, single men and

2:20

anyway, just in the melee. So

2:22

that video is extraordinary. You'd think

2:24

that'd be a news When I saw it, I thought, I wonder if this

2:26

is gonna be on the news, And no it was not. CBS

2:28

Evening News aired it for a few seconds,

2:30

didn't make NBC, ABC, MSNBC

2:33

anywhere. CNN had a little bit of it at

2:36

one point, so two places out

2:38

of about ten available

2:41

showed it at all.

2:42

How does that not make the.

2:43

News, especially when I mean kind of if

2:45

you're ABC News or NBC News, and it's

2:47

the number one voting issue in the country

2:50

according to Poles, And this is going

2:52

on.

2:53

You don't think that should make the news. That's

2:55

nuts.

2:57

Yeah, particularly because it's

2:59

like great video, it's

3:01

action packed, and so this

3:04

is just yet another measuring stick,

3:06

another you know, mark up on the wall

3:09

of the rising water of how ideology

3:12

Trump's even commercial interests

3:16

for cash because yeah, it is every

3:18

it is click baity. It's the sort

3:20

of thing you put at the

3:22

beginning of your newscast and people stick around

3:24

to see it think what the hell was that?

3:26

And they still didn't run it.

3:28

Oh and just you know, I

3:30

realized this is trivial, but it's also a very

3:32

important news story, right

3:35

yeah, yeah, we're going to the base

3:38

reasons you'd run it because well me

3:41

is so base, I guess. But that's

3:43

wild and we've got more on that coming up later.

3:47

The encouraging note here is

3:49

that America is noticing, as

3:51

you said in despite the best efforts of the bigfoot

3:54

media to soft pedal this story, it's

3:57

the number one issue in the country. Not

3:59

exactly sure how it got to be. Where

4:01

do people get their information? I'm always the

4:04

Armstrong and Getty show. You fool fascinated

4:07

by where people get their invation because not everybody's watching

4:09

Fox, right, So I'm

4:11

just surprised that it gets to people.

4:13

Well, now, you you always go to Fox.

4:16

There are myriad conservative

4:19

media outlets out there that don't

4:21

have the big foot rep

4:24

that Fox does, but they have, you know, millions

4:26

of folks who follow them. It wouldn't add up to a

4:29

small percentage of Americans. So I just don't

4:31

know how they get the news. I don't

4:33

really know. I honestly do not know where most people

4:35

get their news, Like low information voters,

4:38

how do stories reach them.

4:40

Yeah, that's an interesting question, and I wish we had

4:42

time to just think about it and.

4:44

Ask experts Facebook

4:47

and TikTok.

4:48

Do you think TikTok's going hot? Have you on

4:50

illegal immigration?

4:51

Michael? They probably have some info on

4:53

there, I'd think.

4:54

I honestly don't know,

4:57

so I can't argue either way. But people get

4:59

their information. There

5:01

is a certain amount I suppose of

5:03

folks in a lot of the big cities in America

5:05

getting it from their local news because they're inundated

5:08

with illegal immigrants who need

5:10

housing and services and food and medical care

5:13

and are breaking into homes. In some

5:15

cases, they're begging on street corners or filling

5:18

jobs with special permits, et cetera.

5:20

So they're feeling it in their communities.

5:24

So I feel like maybe

5:27

the biggest political story of the entire

5:29

presidential election is unfolding

5:31

in the next couple of days. And that's whether or not

5:34

Letitia James is gonna grab one

5:36

of Trump's houses or buildings or the

5:39

big giant house's kids grow up in. And

5:41

it is going to be such a media spectacle

5:43

and so polarizing and so nuts,

5:46

right, and this is gonna happen before Monday.

5:49

I guess Trump's three hundred

5:51

and seventy acre seven Springs

5:53

estate apparently is on the at the

5:55

top of the list of things Letitia James

5:58

wants to take. The house looks like

6:00

Buckingham Palace. It's fifty

6:02

thousand square feet if that's enough for raising

6:05

your kids. Room, This says

6:07

nice time for dinner, Eric, And you can't find

6:09

Eric because it's a fifty thousand square foot house.

6:12

Eric, Eric,

6:15

Letitia James might be grabbing this on

6:18

Monday and taking over. But the fifty

6:20

thousand square foot home that it's now

6:22

the vacation home of the Trump's, but it's where the kids grew

6:24

up when Trump lived. There sixty

6:27

rooms, fifteen bedrooms,

6:30

and an array of amenities, including three pools.

6:32

In case you don't you know you're angry at ear brother. You

6:34

don't want to swim the same family pool

6:36

as ms. You all have different pools to swim.

6:38

It's got yad Eric's

6:40

in my pool.

6:42

It's got a bowling alley and hiking trails.

6:45

Wow, that sounds like a nice pad.

6:47

It looks like, like I said, it looks like Buckingham

6:50

Palace. But so that might

6:52

be seized by the state over

6:55

this crazy nobody

6:58

was harmed case that won. Judge

7:00

weighed in on and

7:02

Trump scrambling to come up with a half a billion dollars.

7:05

But god, that's gonna be a oh

7:07

if it hasn't happened yet, it's gonna lead the Sunday

7:09

shows. I almost guarantee you the influential

7:12

Sunday shows in politics.

7:14

And just you want to talk about video

7:16

that's gonna seep out to people, it's gonna

7:18

be state troopers. I guess

7:21

with yellow tape around Trump's

7:23

home. And

7:25

again I say, I think This is actually

7:27

positive for justice, because whatever you think

7:30

of Trump, this case is just egregious.

7:33

I mean, it's awful. It is so clearly a political

7:35

prosecution.

7:36

I think the focusing of attention on it

7:38

is the best thing that can happen, and a

7:42

case leaps to mind. I was just reading

7:44

Victor Davis Hansen. I

7:47

was writing about Peter Navarro, former

7:49

Trump Advisor's got to spend four months in jail

7:52

for making false statements to Congress or

7:54

something like that. I think it was,

7:56

yeah, lying under oath to Congress. And VDH

8:00

brings up multiple

8:02

cases where John Brennan

8:04

lied like a rug, James

8:07

Clapper couldn't stop lying,

8:09

Eric Holder, on and on and

8:11

on, and none of these people got prosecuted,

8:14

not even close.

8:16

And there are very very

8:18

few people who are aware of this.

8:20

And so the best thing that can happen

8:22

if you're committing injustice is

8:24

that it stays in the shadows. And I

8:27

think this will bring it out into the bright

8:29

sunlight.

8:29

I'm sorry it.

8:30

I think if Letitia James actually moves in and

8:33

puts padlocks on Trump Tower or confiscates

8:35

a house or whatever, it'll really

8:37

shine a bright spotlight on this and that judge,

8:40

that whack a doodle judge who

8:42

oversaw the case and came

8:44

up with this mind boggling

8:47

penalty for a victimless crime. I think

8:49

he is in for a kicking at

8:51

the appeals level. The problem for Trump is

8:53

that stuff moves very slowly, right,

8:56

right, and how to? I think the judge who

8:58

kept old Fannie will tell us on

9:00

the case in a bizarre settlement

9:03

of her having lied under oath and

9:05

signing forms and being dishonest. I

9:08

think he too is going to feel

9:10

the rough side of

9:12

the judicial system's tongue eventually.

9:15

Yeah, but I think that's a minor player compared

9:17

to this seizing Trump's property

9:20

on TV.

9:21

Oh my god.

9:23

And even if to

9:25

me your Trump hatred

9:28

has blinded you to convinced

9:31

you somehow that no the state jumping

9:33

in and wanting a

9:35

billion dollars out of a guy when nobody

9:37

complained about the deals, it makes perfect sense,

9:39

even though it's never been done before. Even if your

9:42

Trump patriot has gone there, Surely you can't

9:44

be okay with the fact that, for instance, this

9:46

Letitia James person they turn in general is

9:49

updating her Twitter feed every day with the

9:51

new amount he owes because of the interest. Like

9:53

with Glee, he now owes bloody blood

9:55

dollars because it goes up one hundred thousand dollars.

9:57

That's not the way our justice system

10:00

work.

10:00

For the curious scene General takes does

10:03

a touchdown dance over your

10:05

penalty getting worse.

10:07

That's not the way it should be. That's

10:09

horrible.

10:09

She's making jokes about it and personal

10:12

appearances and stuff like that. It is the opposite

10:14

of what everything we expect our justice

10:16

system to do and be, which is impartial.

10:19

And entirely rules based.

10:21

And as some smart Trumpeters

10:23

are saying, what comes around goes around. And if we

10:25

allow this to happen, you think Texas, isn't

10:28

there Florida or someplace. Isn't it going to go after

10:30

a Democratic president at some point?

10:32

Come on?

10:32

Obviously? Yeah, wow,

10:35

that's crazy. What a crazy couple of days

10:37

this is going to be. Is this unfolds, it'll

10:39

be the lead story everywhere

10:41

and everybody will think it's doing them

10:44

good. Fox will run it because look how

10:46

mean people are to Trump. And then I think they're right

10:48

in this case, but all the other networks will

10:51

run it at this is how awful it is for Trump, and finally

10:53

we got the evil man. Yeah,

10:55

I wonder but if you have Mourning Joe

10:58

and a number of other folk who's quotes we played,

11:00

I guess it was yesterday saying

11:03

hey, this is uncool.

11:05

Uh.

11:05

I think at the point that the bright, bright light

11:08

is shining on it, you're gonna see, and

11:10

maybe this is my hopeful, naive side,

11:12

but you're gonna see some Trump

11:14

hating people of good conscience. Think

11:17

I've got to stand up and say this, and

11:20

I think they will.

11:21

I think Eric and Donald Jr. And what's the daughter's

11:23

name, Tiffany, Tiffany.

11:26

I think they should.

11:27

I think they should all chain themselves to some

11:30

throne or something in that giant mansion and make

11:33

the fence coming with bolt cutters.

11:35

Well, if you look at a throwne made of sword,

11:38

have you looked at the inside pictures of that place?

11:40

I have not.

11:41

I mean that's why I said it looked like bucking and Palace

11:43

outside and inside. Trump likes

11:45

his royal gold,

11:47

giant ornate things. Yeah,

11:50

yeah, you know what I was picturing, And this would

11:52

make such great video you got.

11:54

I'm picturing Don Junior at the gate

11:56

with an axe handle whacking it into

11:59

his palm, waiting for the authorities.

12:01

Taking one for the team. Come on, Don

12:03

Jr. While going all Ruby Ridge down

12:05

this road lies madness.

12:08

Well, I was picturing more like a good beating.

12:10

Okay.

12:11

Can you imagine growing up in a fifty

12:13

thousand square foot house with

12:16

three pools?

12:17

When two pools is just not enough?

12:19

Right? Exactly how would we get by with

12:22

only two pools?

12:23

Well, and I don't know at the time they were grown up, but that

12:25

is one of Trump's many properties. Yeah,

12:27

yeah, okay, we got

12:30

geez, we're almost.

12:30

Out of time. We got to start the show officially.

12:32

I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Friday,

12:34

March the twenty twenty second

12:37

in the year twenty twenty four, were Armstrong and getting

12:39

we approved of this program. Once we get officially,

12:41

then according to the FCC rules, Rags at Mark.

12:43

We got an assignment in our daughter's

12:45

schoolwork folder. It was titled

12:47

Auctions Winnings to the Highest Bidder, and

12:50

it was an assignment wherein the

12:52

fifth graders were supposed

12:55

to portray slave masters

12:57

and identify, you know what, all

13:00

cations they wanted in their slaves.

13:03

That seems like a solid assignment to me, so

13:05

kind. Listen to talk radio.

13:07

Every year some school does the whole slave

13:09

trading project and it blows up into a national

13:11

story. Hi every year, and

13:14

yet every year at other school tries it. Well,

13:17

have I got the details for you? Coming up

13:19

later and mail bag coming up next.

13:27

There's some pulling out of Israel

13:29

and Gaza that, if accurate,

13:32

is highly troubling.

13:33

We never got to yesterday. Among things

13:35

we can talk about today.

13:36

I wish I had a great gender bending madness

13:38

wrap up later on. Sure is how wish

13:40

I'd have bought ipo shares and Reddit yesterday

13:43

when it debuted.

13:44

Damn it, I'd be too wealthy to have to be

13:46

here today.

13:48

Wow, Wow, that's hurtful. Well,

13:50

hey, we need to get right down to business. A mail

13:52

bag coming up, Freedom loving Quota the day. But first,

13:55

it's Friday the tradition. Let's take

13:57

fun look back.

13:57

At the week that was. It's cow clips of the week.

14:00

I want to be crystal clear. Is a Biden

14:02

blood bath? What the hell is he talking about?

14:07

Which of the week? How

14:09

many genders are there?

14:11

It's a spectrum, so like a lot because

14:14

a quality escape occurred.

14:17

What is a quality escape.

14:20

I think that's the description of what people

14:22

are finding in their inspections.

14:25

Yeah, everybody knows that there's a

14:27

hole in the side of it. Only

14:30

say the burglary tourists are part of international

14:33

crime rings traveling from countries in South

14:35

America.

14:36

There are one hundred miles of border wall that

14:38

have been put up in as American Republic. If they

14:40

say it has been extremely effective, So

14:43

I.

14:43

Think, you know what, you can manufacture everything else

14:45

that we use. But keeping our kids stupid,

14:47

that's our job.

14:50

Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be

14:52

a blood bath for the whole That's

14:55

going to be the least seven blood

14:57

baths.

14:57

Blood bath. Not only is it going to be a blood bath,

15:00

it's a bloodbat and impending bloodbat.

15:02

And this has a wonderful voice and

15:05

it won't be top Kevin.

15:07

I would like to carry America.

15:10

What are you doing, Fawnny.

15:12

Sawny, It spelled

15:15

Fanny like your ass right, Fanny.

15:18

California, The same.

15:19

Thing Gavin Newscom does

15:21

anyone ever? Now?

15:24

Northern Island is a fully functioning coming again.

15:27

Joe Biden was more than a participant in

15:29

and a beneficiary of his family's business he

15:32

was an active, aware enabler.

15:35

Reason. That's life putting steads because.

15:38

Ladies and job please ros

15:41

for the horribly and unfairly

15:43

treated January sixth,

15:45

hostages you

15:48

think real quiet?

15:51

Oh

16:05

angry old guys the theme today

16:08

now, including John Mellencamp.

16:11

Yeah wow, who saw that coming.

16:12

Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

16:16

From the Good Book.

16:17

Lucia sent this along. I

16:20

wonder if she goes by Lucia or

16:22

Lucy from Proverbs

16:24

twenty to eight. Those who you meant the

16:27

Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. That's not the Good

16:29

Book. Uh no, it

16:31

is a good that's right,

16:33

sir. From Proverbs. Those who

16:35

plant injustice and harvest I'm

16:37

sorry not and will take

16:40

two. Those who plant injustice

16:43

will harvest disaster, and their

16:45

reign of terror will come to an end. Those

16:48

are my three favorite books of the Bible, The Wisdom

16:50

Books, Ecclesiastic Proverbs,

16:52

and one of the others. Maybe you knows, perhaps

16:57

a list of things to do. I think that's the name.

16:59

Of the book. Life Hacks, Life acs.

17:01

That's the name of the book. Gets in Hebrew it's

17:03

life Acts. Yeah.

17:05

Well, we will get to some of the news of the

17:07

day and try to sort it out for you.

17:09

What's going on. There's lots

17:11

as usual on a Friday. And we'll have

17:14

some fun too, because that's what we do here in the

17:16

radio Zoo.

17:18

What you have fun. I'm a serious

17:20

man. I'm not here for your giggles.

17:23

Armstrong and Getty.

17:26

Trump should have squatters go into his

17:28

home. That's a good idea.

17:33

Try to get around that. Oh oh

17:35

in New York especially.

17:37

Oh no, wait, they slept there overnight, so

17:39

they get to stay there for many months during

17:41

complicated No, they just broke

17:44

in. Look the broken glasses right there.

17:46

Oh no, they're squatters. Squatters right, they're

17:48

a tenant. Technically they're a tenant. My

17:51

least favorite law. God, I loathe

17:53

it. Um, you want

17:55

to load something, load this. This is my least

17:58

face. Usually jokes are designed to make you laugh. This

18:00

one makes me angry. This is my

18:02

least favorite joke of the day. Biden

18:04

canceled nearly six billion dollars in

18:06

federal student debt to the thousands.

18:08

Of public service workships. It

18:13

was a bold decision by Biden.

18:15

I'm not sure March madness is the best time to

18:17

give everyone.

18:17

More money to sow the punchline,

18:20

Biden doesn't matter to go ahead, got enough, I own

18:22

any care.

18:23

It's the applause.

18:24

It's the Joe Biden canceled student debt

18:26

for public service workers. Who awesome

18:29

because a certain segment of society

18:32

shouldn't have to pay for college and we'll pay for them.

18:35

What what? Don't remember voting

18:37

for that?

18:37

I would have had to stand up in the crowd, which

18:39

I'd have gotten kicked out of there.

18:41

Why are you applauding that? You

18:43

sir?

18:43

What do you do for a living? Why do you think

18:45

you should pay for that?

18:47

Cops? Kids? College? Do

18:50

you have a reason? Does it make sense

18:52

to you?

18:53

What?

18:53

I just like government money. I likely the

18:55

government gives me money. No,

18:58

I think the reaction would probably be for most people.

19:00

Well, and this is driving me crazy. Since I was a

19:02

teenager, they'd say, well,

19:04

how am I paying for it? People don't

19:06

understand where money

19:08

comes from. I'm telling you that

19:11

is at the root of virtually

19:13

all of our problems

19:16

with government spending.

19:17

Names people don't to those of us.

19:19

And I know, I know, friends, I know you're

19:21

thinking, how could people conceivably

19:25

not make that connection? And

19:27

I know it's astonishing, And yet

19:30

it is.

19:31

It is true.

19:31

You must accept it or fight against it, but

19:34

most people don't connect

19:37

or propaganda

19:40

is used because propaganda works. The

19:43

propaganda for a very long time, especially from the

19:45

Democratic Party, is that there

19:47

are a few extremely rich

19:50

people.

19:51

Who refuse to pay enough

19:53

tax.

19:54

They do pay a fair amount of tax, and so

19:56

taking from them and giving to you is a good thing,

19:59

and they really ought to be paying a great deal more.

20:01

And people buy that.

20:02

So as the government doles out stacks

20:04

of cash, people think, well, that's appropriate, because

20:06

those damn selfish rich people they need to pay

20:08

their hab I don't even.

20:09

Think it's that connection. I really don't. I don't think it gets

20:11

that far.

20:12

I think the word free, speaking of propaganda,

20:15

people just think it's free.

20:17

It just magically appears.

20:18

And when you hear canceled, like Jimmy Fallon

20:20

said, and all the media says, canceled

20:22

the debt, Okay, they.

20:23

Just canceled it. Oh okay, great.

20:25

They don't think there's any tax money,

20:27

rich people, poor people, anybody just canceled it.

20:29

It's free, or it's canceled or waived.

20:32

That's another word came out of

20:35

nowhere. And then the cancelation had

20:37

no effect on anything if

20:40

effectively went back to nowhere.

20:42

I really think the pulling on that.

20:43

If you got people in a room and said, okay, the cancels

20:46

the fudgi word, what is actually

20:48

happening here is the taxpayers picking

20:50

up the Oh wow, I didn't realize that

20:53

would I think be the reaction of lots of

20:55

people anyway, I can't handle ittle. Make me

20:57

insane. It's Friday

21:00

times. The bar opened probably

21:03

is a zebra club downtown. I drove by it

21:05

the other day. Still has a sign out front

21:07

open at six am. That's my crowd or

21:10

already angry.

21:11

We just got up. I've

21:14

already done things today. I want to for kits. What are

21:17

you opening? We do have some serious,

21:19

serious breaking news we should hit.

21:20

So we put a

21:23

ceasefire resolution

21:25

on the table at the UN Joe

21:28

Biden is trying so hard to have

21:30

it both ways on this thing. He's doing

21:33

everything and more to support Israel

21:36

in reality, but he's trying

21:38

to make it seem like they're on the side

21:40

of the college kids.

21:42

And so ceasefire resolution we.

21:44

Put out because we've we've vetoed

21:46

the last three. The last three ceasefire

21:48

resolutions would have passed except for the

21:50

United States vetoed it, and we've got the power

21:52

to do it. So we put one on the table, except

21:54

ours demanded all the hostages

21:57

we returned, which was there no way that

21:59

was going to happen. So Russia and China vetoed

22:01

this one. But the Biden administration could say, hey,

22:03

we put a ceasefire agreement on the

22:05

table to you end. It just got voted

22:07

on in Russia and China they

22:10

vetoed it.

22:11

There was some.

22:12

Highly placed Chinese diplomat that just met

22:14

with the leaders of Hamas and reaffirm

22:16

their unity and how they'll be working together

22:19

going forward. Oh yeah, this headline.

22:22

Everybody needs to be aware of this. It

22:24

might change the politics around it. The

22:27

whu Thies announced

22:30

that in Yemen that to the that

22:33

they will not attack Russia or Russian

22:35

or Chinese ships. So they

22:38

just flat out have said

22:40

no, we're we're friends with China and Russia, and

22:42

Russia and China just vetoed the

22:45

resolution that would make Hamas have to give

22:47

back hostages.

22:49

How do you make that argument?

22:50

But anyway, if you don't get that, Russia,

22:53

China, Iran are all tied

22:55

together in Ukraine and

22:57

Israel.

22:58

I think you're just not paying attention.

23:01

Anything to weaken the Western coalition.

23:03

They see that is their their their

23:05

fondest wish, their their best

23:07

goal. I think, on a

23:09

purely practical level, that's stupid,

23:11

But I get the attraction.

23:13

I suppose.

23:13

I just think, you know, the West is so

23:16

welcoming. All you have to do is buy

23:18

by a few rules and get involved in some trade

23:20

and all and and we'll welcome you with open

23:23

arms. But of course

23:26

that like assumes an attitude

23:28

among the leadership that they want what's best for their

23:30

people, which is not the case

23:33

in these countries. They

23:35

want the best for the elite, the most wealth

23:37

and power. So anyway, let's

23:39

see what else do we want to go get

23:41

to?

23:43

What time is that? What do you want to

23:45

get to?

23:45

The perennial story. It's like March Madness. Every

23:47

year it's a school deciding

23:49

to have a fake slave trade auction as

23:52

an experiment in their school, not

23:54

realizing it's been done every single year, and

23:57

it always ends up the same way, like

24:00

a right of spring, that

24:02

it's an annual festival. Michael, have

24:04

a clip eleven ready, But first a quick word from

24:06

our friends at Oxford Gold Group. Are you on

24:09

the fence about owning gold and silver? There's

24:11

war, there's instability, there's bank closures,

24:13

there's all sorts of whackingess going on around

24:16

the world. I wouldn't recommend you put all of

24:18

your money in gold, but as a hedge against inflation

24:20

or just a store of value for

24:22

thousands of years, gold is worth looking

24:25

into. So if countries are buying and hoarding massive

24:27

amounts of gold, why aren't you. It's time to pull

24:29

the trigger with Oxford Gold Group, and they make owning

24:31

gold and silver super simple. Just

24:33

give them a call right now and you might qualify for up to

24:36

ten thousand dollars in free precious metals.

24:38

Wow.

24:39

Call eight three three nine ninety five Gold eight

24:41

three three nine nine five Gold.

24:43

If you want to ask questions or ask for the investment

24:46

guide, that's fine. Or if you're ready to go ahead

24:48

and own some precious medals, give

24:50

them a call Oxford Gold Group at eight

24:52

three three nine nine five Gold.

24:54

One more time.

24:55

That's eight three three nine nine

24:58

five. Go all

25:00

right, go ahead. Michael hit Us, Oh this is swoops.

25:03

I'm knocked over my water jug Ah,

25:06

this is a parent of a

25:08

fifth grader.

25:10

We got an assignment in our daughter's schoolwork

25:13

folder. It was titled Auctions

25:15

Winnings to the Highest Bidder, and it

25:17

was an assignment wherein the fifth

25:20

graders were supposed

25:22

to portray slave masters

25:24

and identify, you know, what qualifications

25:27

they wanted in their slaves.

25:29

Next week, gas Chambers will portray

25:32

Nazis and march some of the other children into

25:34

cardboard ovens. Wow,

25:37

wow, dark but excellent commentary.

25:40

Yeah, this is Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

25:43

A couple of parents, either daughter brot brought

25:46

home an assignment instructing

25:48

students to pretend to be a white master looking

25:50

to buy a slave. It was

25:52

basically a colored in worksheet that

25:55

was entitled Auctions Winnings

25:57

to the Highest Bidder, and it was an assignment.

25:59

We're in the fifth grade were supposed to portray slave

26:01

masters and identify, as he said, what

26:04

they wanted in a good, solid slave.

26:06

There's always too much emphasis on the auction

26:08

like that's the lesson.

26:09

You're not learning about slavery, you're learning about Hey, you're

26:13

learning about the art of auctioneering. Well,

26:16

I would say, you know, the buying and selling of

26:18

human beings is a focal

26:20

point of repugnance if

26:22

you will, sure, but I

26:25

see your point the pools. That's the

26:27

folks in question here say the assignment

26:29

asked the students to draw and describe the living

26:31

quarters, as well as various scenarios that would

26:34

occur on a plantation. They say their

26:36

daughter lost points when she wrote that

26:38

she would quote quote treat the slaves

26:40

nicely. She

26:43

lost points, right, So

26:46

they were obliging

26:48

her to be a slave master

26:50

and slave trader and taking

26:52

points off if she did not engage

26:55

fully in the cruelty. Wow,

26:58

that's weird. That's as that's weird. That would

27:00

make me mad. How old's a fifth

27:02

grader? That's like eleven years old, right

27:04

or twelve?

27:05

Well mine was a fifth grader last year and he was eleven.

27:08

Yeah, I don't think you really need to do

27:10

that to illustrate the horrors

27:12

of slavery. There are more slaves on earth now

27:14

than there have ever been. Just

27:17

stunning, As you say, every year somebody

27:19

runs this up the flagpole, the

27:22

entire country reacts with horror,

27:24

and they say, oh, yeah, so we're sorry, all

27:26

right, we won't do it anymore.

27:28

And then next year some school district tries

27:30

it again.

27:33

I guess that's the main point to me, because you get

27:35

I don't think it's necessary, but you

27:37

could do it in such a way that it's just a learning

27:40

vehicle and everything is fine, I think. But the

27:42

fact that it always blows up and becomes a national

27:44

story. Ah, a bunch of step around

27:46

that one and find a different teaching.

27:48

Tool, right right.

27:51

The superintendent came out and

27:53

made a statement, this assignment has been eliminated

27:56

from the class and the district deeply apologizes

27:58

all who are offended by the Simon blah blah.

28:01

Nothing hand measures being

28:03

taken.

28:03

Nothing matters more to hear is to Nemerson

28:06

Junior High than to make sure that diversity

28:08

and blah blah blah blah blah. Goat cardinals

28:13

like to announce a unit on the Ukraine War.

28:15

We're going to separate the children in the Ukrainians

28:18

Russians and leave the injured children

28:20

on the playground overnight and the cold.

28:22

Wow, I know, come

28:25

on, it's terrible, what terrible?

28:29

Oh, where do you want to go from here? My goodness?

28:32

Oh speaking of Ukraine. Actually,

28:34

I was just reading how Ukraine is working

28:36

like crazy. They've been using aquatic

28:39

drones unmanned

28:42

ships and stuff to attack the Russian

28:44

fleet. So I'm going to see tonight the aquatic

28:47

drones. They got all the original members back together.

28:49

Too droney for me. But anyway, they're

28:52

also now working like crazy to develop

28:55

land based robotic vehicles

28:58

that can be laden with bombs at so

29:00

they can attack the Russian

29:02

lines or trenches

29:05

or whatever.

29:05

With with there.

29:08

Essentially, uh, what do you what

29:10

do you call it? The really nice remote

29:12

control cars. There's

29:14

a it's a series of letters, the UAVs,

29:17

vvts, you know what I'm

29:20

trying to say.

29:20

I probably do it anyway.

29:23

So anyway, that's their big effort now because they

29:25

just don't have that many guys in the running short

29:27

on traditional armaments. So

29:30

I hadn't realized that the French

29:33

Army made explosive

29:35

land drones as early as nineteen

29:37

fifteen, and the British

29:40

and Germans both developed UGVs

29:44

during World War Two, but

29:47

they were deemed in effective given the cost

29:50

because of the you know, the unevenness

29:52

of land and trenches. They had buildings,

29:55

crazy rudimentary.

29:57

Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Anyway,

30:00

that's the new effort.

30:01

I think it's a political explosion

30:04

that's about to happen when New

30:06

York State goes in and tries to seize one of

30:09

Trump's buildings at some point over the weekend or

30:11

maybe Monday, which is the deadline. It's

30:13

just going to be huge and both sides

30:15

are going to think we've got it this time, and

30:18

uh, well, we'll see how that plays out. Some more

30:20

on that coming up a little bit. We've got Katie's headlines on

30:22

the ways to stay here.

30:24

Armstrong. So

30:32

you tell me, I don't know, I fully understand

30:34

it.

30:35

If I had bought Reddit shared it

30:37

went so it debuted yesterday. Reddit is

30:39

now publicly traded company. It debuted

30:41

at their IPO yesterday and it went up thirty eight percent.

30:44

Wow yesterday?

30:45

Okay, So could have I had gotten in early in the

30:47

day and then like sold at the end of the day

30:49

or sell the day, and I'd have gone up thirty

30:51

eight percent.

30:52

It work. Well, you'd

30:54

have to.

30:54

Be connected to get in on the ipo. You

30:56

could have bought quickly after that if there are

30:59

shares a fail bull and that probably would have

31:01

been. And yeah, you would have realized

31:03

at least a big chunk of that game. You

31:05

ever spend any time on Reddit, man, that is a

31:09

That is a crazy, crazy place to be.

31:12

Yeah, it's like humanity.

31:13

There's really good, there's

31:15

kind of indifferent, and then there's utterly

31:17

corrosive. Well, and every topic

31:20

under the sun doesn't matter

31:22

what you're particularly interested in.

31:25

There is a Reddit group for that.

31:27

From left handed banjo to truly

31:30

esoteric in troubling porn.

31:31

From what I've heard, I'm a big

31:33

fan of the m id a hole page.

31:36

Yeah, that's pretty good, big fan. It

31:39

is a guilty pleasure, isn't it.

31:42

Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what it's lead story

31:44

with Katie Green Katie take it away.

31:46

From the Wall Street Journal. Robots

31:49

are entering the Ukraine battlefield.

31:52

As mentioned on the Armstrong and Getty Show moments

31:54

ago. So is

31:56

this expected to be effective? Like this

31:58

could be?

32:00

They're sitting there that yeah, it's

32:02

effective in the air and on water, but they're

32:05

assuming there's going to be some problems on the ground.

32:08

From USA today, parents think their

32:11

kids are doing well in school.

32:13

More often than not, they're wrong. Yeah.

32:16

I don't know what it was

32:18

like when I was a kid, but I was surprised

32:20

to find out as an adult that they

32:23

don't alert you if there's some major problem.

32:26

You have to like discover it or they

32:28

when you have the parent teacher conference five months

32:31

into the year.

32:31

Oh, by the way, this what how didn't

32:34

nobody tell me this? Yeah?

32:36

Yeah, Well there are a lot of schools and

32:38

teachers and administrators who just want to blow

32:40

sunshine. Just get the kids through. I don't care if

32:42

they learn or not. Just get them through without

32:44

me having any problems. Let me collect

32:46

my pay and the rest of it. And when

32:49

there is a problem with Johnny,

32:52

some parents go nuts and say, how dare you pick

32:54

on my Johnny?

32:56

From Reuters, Tennessee becomes

32:58

first US state with law

33:00

protecting musicians from AI.

33:04

Wow, how the hell is that going to work? Good

33:07

luck with that.

33:08

It's called the Elvis Act Ensuring

33:11

Likeness, Voice and Image Security.

33:13

Okay, yeah, like Jo said, good luck with that. Yeah.

33:16

From the Washington Times, RFK

33:18

Junior set to launch Viva

33:21

Kennedy lets you know, outreach

33:23

effort.

33:24

He's announcing in Oakland on the twenty

33:26

sixth. So what just four days from now?

33:29

Won a plan to get on all fifty states and highlight

33:32

the fact that the Republicans and Democrats screw

33:34

every other party and two he's going to announce his vice

33:37

presidential running mate.

33:38

He did meet with.

33:39

Our friend Mike Rowe for several hours a

33:41

week or so ago. I don't know if Mike Rowe is

33:44

actually on the.

33:44

List to be VP. I'd be an

33:46

Oaktown. I don't know.

33:48

Well, that might be a micro thing

33:50

the Bay Area guy, But I don't know. Is

33:53

the theme of his campaign America as a hell

33:55

hole, take a look, Let's save the

33:57

a's. That's going to be his main topic that he runs

33:59

on.

34:00

From the La Times, go pros

34:03

gummies, reckless abandon Why

34:05

ski slopes are getting more dangerous?

34:08

Everything's gotten more dangerous, So people are

34:11

skiing like everybody's driving. That doesn't surprise

34:13

me. Some go pros gummies.

34:15

It took me a second. Like so we're talking THC

34:17

edibles.

34:18

Yes, THC edibles, and are

34:20

saying that the injuries on

34:22

the mountain are spiking because people are focusing

34:24

more on their cameras and they have their headphones

34:26

in and they're becoming oblivious to what's going on around.

34:28

Ah right, oh boy.

34:31

From the New York Post, police post

34:34

photos of suspects with lego

34:36

heads to protect identities under new

34:38

California.

34:39

Law, have you seen that?

34:40

Under California law, you can't have the

34:43

dumbody. You shouldn't know who these criminals are.

34:46

Cool, so they put a lego head on them.

34:48

I saw a parody of it with Gavin

34:51

Newsom's head replaced by a lego and

34:53

I didn't know what they were talking about.

34:54

I've missed this from

34:57

page six.

34:58

Well, we gotta need to know more about

35:01

this later, and somebody dig up to details

35:03

place.

35:04

From page six, Connor McGregor

35:06

enjoyed throwing Jake Jillenhall

35:08

over a bar in their new movie.

35:12

There's this new movie Roadhouse and.

35:14

Connor McGregor picks up Jake

35:16

joen Hall and chucks him over a.

35:17

Bar, and he said, I loved that. So is

35:20

Connor McGregor still doing the politician thing. I

35:22

was kind of interested in that for a while because

35:24

he was running hard on the we can't have a legal

35:26

immigration and he was getting a fair amount of support.

35:30

Connor McGregor was, yeah, yeah,

35:32

the crazy drunkard irishman. Correct,

35:35

what country is he running in? Ireland? Where

35:37

he's from? Oh? Okay?

35:40

And finally the Babylon Bee checkmate

35:43

Trump sneaks back into White House invokes

35:46

squatters.

35:46

Right, Yeah, there you go, another squatter.

35:48

Uh.

35:51

The Monday's the deadline.

35:52

I don't know if Letitia James is gonna wait clear till

35:54

Monday to take some Trump property.

35:57

She keeps hinting that it'll be forty Wall Street.

35:59

Nobody thinks she had actually will, But in every

36:01

interview as a flipping member

36:04

of the justice system, I

36:06

look at forty Wall Street every day.

36:08

I'll just tell you that whatever.

36:11

Wow, grandstanding populist,

36:15

unjust nonsense, attention seeking.

36:17

Yeah, it's bad on every level. It's not the

36:19

way the Justice Department should work.

36:22

No, I would say.

36:23

And the more the further she goes down the

36:25

road, the more the spotlight's going to be focused on this,

36:27

and the better chance, I think, for justice to actually

36:29

be done

36:32
