Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty and now he I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I mean, when I see the rocket, I see a
list of all the things that are wrong, all of
the ways that it.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Could go wrong and potentially fail.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So you could have a first stage failure, second stage failure,
stage separation failure. Uh, that could be a sort of
an engine failure on the spacecraft itself. When when it's
coming back, it's coming in so fast it's a blazing
meteor and if anything happens to the heat shield, Uh,
the whole.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Craft is going to disintegrate. Needs to be remembered that
I suppose it'll be remembered when he's done with his
whole doge thing. And he might already be. He's one
of the great rocket scientists of all time and thinkers
and entrepreneurs who have ever lived. Yeah, and I was
listening to some smart people discussed the other day how
(01:11):
he might be the only person remembered from this era
two hundred years from now. He's that kind of person,
like an Isaac Newton or an Einstein or a galileo,
or that he's that kind of person.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, that's not an unreasonable thing to say. Yeah, he
is a fascinating guy, incredibly complicated and brilliant and half
a nut, which often goes with genius. And as we've
mentioned before, both Jack and I are of the opinion
that if you have kids, you should raise them, You
(01:45):
should try to keep a marriage intact best you can.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
You should probably not produce.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
A child outside of wedlock and the fairly traditional values.
And Elon, whose work at DOGE, for instance, is something
we're enormous fans of, is just an utter flaming. It's
as if his heat shield had broken and the craft
of his morality in family matters had disintegrated, like the
(02:11):
rocket I described.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I honestly can't think about it too much or it
makes me sad. I just it just it bothers me
so much. The whole concept of you know, I had
a kid with this woman, and we need more people,
and she's gonna have plenty of money. You just I
don't understand how you don't have the concept of how
much that kid, that little boy, or that little girl
(02:33):
wants a real dad.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Was he abused, what isn't he emotionally and or physically
abused by his dad?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, I don't know that. I don't. I don't have
any memory of that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Or somebody somebody google around her or bing bing it.
I think there was some I remember he mentioned his
childhood was terrible.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, yeah, but he got beat up at school. Not
and I lived in South Africa. But I don't. I
don't know if there's any child abuse out of his family.
I've never get Yeah, I was asking, not saying anyway.
So the Wall Street General had an article about his
Let me go further, Yes, let me go even further
with this really sad commentary of my Oh boy, I've
had the I've had the experience before with kids who
(03:15):
don't have a dad playing at the park, when when
kids were littler, and the way they were attracted to
me to with me and play like catch or do
something like that. I mean, it was so obvious they
just wanted to have that whole tale for it, for it.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Oh and it just breaks your heart. Yeah, my gosh. Yeah,
I had that same experience raising my kids, and it was, oh,
it was so hard to take anyway. Uh, And I've
known plenty of people who had plenty of money but
not a good male role model, and then they end
up badly in a lot of cases.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Anyway, Katie, So there's an article from Fortune saying that
Elon has PTSD from a turbulent childhood from his time
in South Africa and big verbal abuse from his father.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Hmm okay, I thought I remembered that. Yeah, I wonder
if that plays into this. But anyway, to the facts
and then we can discuss this piece starts with Ashley
Saint Clair wanted to prove that Elon Musk was the
father of a newborn baby, but to ask the billionaire
to take a paternity test, the right wing social media
influencer had to go through Musk's longtime fixer, Jared Birchall.
(04:24):
I don't want my son to feel like he's a secret,
she told him in a two hour phone call in December.
Birchall offered Saint Clair some advice. His boss was quote
a very big hearted, kind and generous person, he said,
but Musk had a different side. When a mother of
his child goes the legal route in these discussions, quote
(04:44):
that always always leads to worse outcomes for the woman
than what it would have been otherwise, Birchall told the
twenty six year old Hotty Plus.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
He said Musk wasn't.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Sure the child was his, and it's not the first
such conversation for Birchall.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
They right.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
His public job is running Musk's family office. He recently
helped organize the quarter billion dollar push in support of
Donald Trump. But behind the scenes, Birchall also manages the
financial and privacy deals Musk wants for the women raising
the world's richest babies. Musk has at least fourteen children
for four women.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And he's only what is he fifty three? Something like that.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
He's not right, at least fourteen, including with the pop
musician Grimes and Chivon Zillis, an executive at his brain
computer company, Neuralink. Multiple sources close to the Tech Entrepreneur
said they believe the true number of Musk's children is
much higher than publicly known. Here's the part that makes
even me want to be impregnated by Elon Musk, in
(05:47):
spite of the sad commentary of a moment earlier.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He is fifty three, and he's got a lot. He's
got time to have fourteen more.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Musk offered Miss Saint Clair fifteen million dollars and one
hundred thousand dollars a month in support in exchange for
her silence about the child. Don't talk about it, don't
say it's fine. I'll give you fifteen million dollars and
one hundred grand a month. Similar agreements have been negotiated
(06:17):
with other mothers of Musk's children.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Birchall told Saint.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Clair, I know more about this than I wish I knew,
but that that's a lot of money. Obviously, that's way
less than you would get if the courts made a
decision though, oh interesting, way less.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Although to get that without any storm and drawn.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, I mean if I was if I was her,
i'd sign up for that. You know, don't have to
go to court, don't have to go through all the crap.
Don't have to. You don't have to become a you'd
become a celebrity. People would know your name, you'd be
in the New York Post. I mean, avoid all that.
Take care. One hundred one thousand dollars a month and
fifteen million you'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, honestly, you get that. Fifteen million, one hundred thousand
dollars a month is tip money. If he invested it
all wisely anyway, So they mentioned that Musk's baby making
project has to do with his his his overall goals
for NASA and exploring space and colonizing Mars. In musks
(07:27):
view of the world, civilization is under threat because of
a declining population. He is driven to correct the historic
moment by helping seed the Earth with more human beings
of high intelligence. According to people familiar with the matter,
it's not that he's just free with his lovin.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
He's doing this on.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Purpose, right. It seems a little ridiculous then in that.
I mean if he went Berzerco, if he went Biblical,
he could have what one hundred and fifty kids maybe.
I mean that's gonna have no effect on planet Earth
in our population.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Right, I mean, move right through old Bluesman into I
don't know who procreates even more than hen.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
To get into Moses territory, Abraham territory. That's right, sir
h Musk.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
The first use offspring as a legion, a reference to
the ancient military units that can contain thousands of soldiers,
and we're key.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
To extending the reach of the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I mean, he is brilliant, So you got that trait,
you know, he might be passing along to your kid.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, so, ladies, how do you like this for pillow talk?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
During Saint Clair's pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in
other women to have even more of their children faster
to reach legion level before the apocalypse. He said to
Saint Clair in a text viewed by The Wall Street Journal,
we will need to use surrogates.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
So look your eggs.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
My sperm will impregnate a bunch of surrogate moms with them,
and we can have like a ten kids this year.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So decent chance the kid. I know, I'm turning it
sad again. Decent chance the kid does not have an
adult male role model around at all for the early years,
which is horrifying to me. And then even if she
you know, meets a nice guy, falls in love and
the guy you know takes care of the kid as
his own, which would be the best case scenario and
(09:22):
could easily happen, the kids always, because I've known people
like this, the kid's always gonna feel rejected by their father,
like he didn't care about me. My real father didn't
care about me. They're always gonna feel that way.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Even if you explain the philosophy to the kid as
a young adult or whatever. Yeah, I would agree, And
you know, it's funny. I was just thinking about I
was assuming that, yeah, these moms, they will find a
man to be with if if that's you know, something
they want in their life, and most people do to
have a partner. But then my mind went to if
(09:56):
you have wealth or fame, you're never sure why people
are coming at you, absolutely including suturs. If you're a
you know, a wealthy fellow who you know, whether it's
divorce or God forbid, widowhood or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh so you're seeing you see these women are all
rich and targets. Yeah, bad dudes.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And it has nothing to do with eland Musk story
flitting into my mind. Birchall described this is his assistant guy. Remember,
he described Musks expectator expectations to Saint Clair quote privacy
and Fitouniolity is the top of the list in every
aspect of his life. Every aspect in his entire world
is set up to be like a meritocracy benefits flow.
(10:47):
He said, when people do good work, more of the Hey,
go along.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
With the plan and you will be richly rewarded.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
During the call with Birchall, Saint Clair told him she
had received outreach from a woman Musket invited to have
his baby. She said she was being caught up in
Musk's harem drama.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
A person familiar with Musk thinking on the agreements with
the mothers, said, Musk believes it is better to resolve
these matters behind closed doors for the safety and security
of the child. Civilization is going to crumble if people
don't start having more children.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That's true, but you ain't gonna change it on your own.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, let's see Martin Varsovaski, that's pretty wacky that
this is an aspect of him, and that is definitely wacky.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
So there's this buddy of his.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Martin var Varsavaski, a friend of Musque who found it
a large change of in vitro fertilization clinics, has said
he's spoken with Musk about the risks of falling birth rates. Quote,
without babies, there's no future. Every problem becomes secondary to
the problem of not having people on the planet. Elon
believes that a country is not the geography. A country
is the people well and the principles.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Wow. So I would say, if there are no people
on the planet, the point is moot.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Vivian Wilson won a Musk's older children from his first wife.
Justine said recently to teen Vogue that she doesn't know
how many half siblings she has in her family. Musk
is now estranged from Vivian because he refuses to accept
her identity as transgender. Okay, there we go. Justine had
six children with Musque. One died as a baby. Huh,
(12:30):
that's odd. That is odd.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Fifteen kids. They only need to live together in one
house in a reality show.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
By the way, the kids the new kid's name is Romulus.
That's a pretty cool name, at least like your reality
show What are you gonna call it?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
House of Musk.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And they vote one person off every week for not
being musky enough.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Keep going with the doge stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, and get us to Mars. I'd be exciting to watch.
Oh yeah, just the.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Whole you're going to repopulate the Earth thing? You're a scientist.
I'm not sure the math works.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Love the screen on my Tesla. Don't love the cranking
out kids. You don't take care of so ye pluses
and minuses any comment on any of this. Text Line
four one kftc Armstrong.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Hetty Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's warning about President Trump's
sweeping tariff policy his words sparking losses in the stock markets.
Is nowtfalling nearly seven hundred points, the S and P
five hundred down more than two percent, the tech heavy
NASDAC losing more than three percent.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, the Fed guy came out yesterday and said there's
gonna be inflation, bry some loose some some higher unemployment.
But what are you gonna do? I'll see how big
a deal that is.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Now long it lasts, Wall Street tanked and Trump said
you're fired, which he can't actually do, but he's trying to.
One more note on Elon Musk. He urged his mother's,
the mothers of his baby, to deliver via cesarean section
because he posted on X that vaginal births limit brain
size and sea sections allow for larger brains.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's some correlation maybe, but it's weak.
They say, wow, between brain size and intelligence.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well does it actually you actually have a bigger brain
if you're delivered sea section? I don't know I would
think that'd be not known. It seems like that'd be
a very commonly known thing if it were.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
But since there's like no significance to it, according to
most studies, no nobody knows or cares.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
How does it affect some length? Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I have no idea how big my brain is either,
I have no idea. Seems like there's a lot of space.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You have an opinion I have.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So I don't care who's the mayor of New York
City as much as everybody in the media cares. Because
they live in New York City. They act like it's
very important all of us. They have an election next year.
Zo Ran Mamdani is currently in second place. Do you
know who's in first place? Andrew freaking Cuomo, which I
can't believe in the polling because only a Democrat can win.
(15:23):
So they we look at the polls of the Democrats.
But I can't believe Andrew Cuomo all the things that
he did, I mean, whether it's harassing women or sending
old people to their deads during COVID that he's going
to be the government the mayor of New York But anyway,
and I love you, He's in first place in the polls.
The guy behind him in second place is Zooran Mamdani.
What does this guy believe? He's the breakthrough star of
(15:48):
the Democratic Party this year According to a lot of
people who watch this sort of thing, thirty three year old,
he wants to freeze all rents, have the government run
grocery stores, and make both childcare and bus transit free
for all. Wow, that's what he's running on.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
You're talking earlier about how the Democratic Party has to
run like a Bernie or in AOC and lose forty
eight states to realize nobody wants this crap. Part of
me says, let him win the election, run New York
City for that like that, rather for four years, and.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We'll see how you couldn't run it for four years.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
You couldn't run it for four months like that?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Childcare and bus trends. It will be free for everybody.
Gone all rents. Yeah, and the government will run the
grocery stores.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Wow. The Free Press has a great video right now.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I think you'd get to paywalled if we put the
link up at the website. But this guy, every phase
of his life, in every interview he does, he uses
a different accent really to like fit in or be
down with whoever he's talking.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So it's not just his economics that are crazy. He's
also crazy crazy, or he's just a phony, pandering Trustafarian. Yeah,
God dang it. I almost hope the pop that they
fall for it and vote the guy in. Yeah, like
you said, give it a whirl, see how it goes,
idiots Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
The administration has made it clear they intend to appeal this.
They're going to fight because here Boseburg says that the
administration's actions, specifically not turning around flights that were already
in the air full of those migrants, that that constituted
a willful disregard of his order. Now, the Justice Department
is argued that he was overstepping his authority by trying
(17:36):
to interfere in the implementation of a foreign policy. Now
he has said he will begin contempt proceedings unless the
migrants who are on those planes are afforded some sort
of process, an opportunity to have their cases heard.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So well, let's hear. Let's hear from Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi,
she's the Attorney General explaining what a bad guy this
guy was that we sent to El Salvador.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
This illegal alien terrorist came into our country illegally in March.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Of twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We know that because he admitted that when he was
stopped in twenty nineteen by the anti gang squad. They
stopped him at a home depot with three other members.
And here's what's very important. He was wearing a sweatshirt
with gang insignia on it.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So there's the politics of this, and then there's the
constitutionality legal part of this. I think the I think
the Trump people are definitely winning on the politics of this.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I don't know, Jane.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
They've heard he was a nice fella. Can we hear
fifty three real quick?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Michael?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Exactly one month ago, the Trump administration abducted and imprisoned
a Maryland man named Abrego Garcia.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Abrego Garcia, the Maryland Man, a Maryland Man, marilynd Man.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
The growing calls return the Maryland.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Man, that Maryland man, a Maryland man.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
That fate of that Maryland man in the case of
a Maryland father, the wrongful deporty.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
So I'm a Maryland Man to l Salvador.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He is, of course the Maryland man now held in
l Salvador's Mega prison.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
But there's not a question of whether he's illegal or not.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Right, he's a Maryland father Jack you monster, No, No,
he had a final defortation order on him, so he
was here illegally. And the reason I think Trump's winning
on this politically is two thirds of Americans want all
illegals deported, all.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Undocumented people deported. I mean, so politically, I think I
don't think I think you get much traction you get
into the whole due process thing legally though, And then
that's so, does it make any difference whether he was
a gang member or not to the due process since
the Constitution says all persons get due process?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Well, yeah, but it depends on what process you're talking about.
There's not like due process doesn't mean one specific thing.
It just means the government can't behave arbitrarily. So if
you're an immigrant who's committed a crime, have different processes
than a citizen accused of a crime. For instance, deportation
(20:07):
is different than criminal conviction, is different than civil procedure.
So what is the due process owed to an illegal
who's identified by a confidential, reliable informant as a gang member?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And then also as a thought experiment, if they come
up with an email or somebody testifies or something that
proves let's say they knew before the flight's left that
the judge had said, don't fly those people out of here. Yeah,
(20:47):
what sort of a jackpot would they be in at
that point?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
A big one.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I mean, if you could get somebody who say, just
go get on plane, go go go, go, go get
that thing off the ground.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You know, every time the taking a branch disagrees with
the any judge, if it's a Republican president, it's a
constitutional crisis we have.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
We are heading toward a constitutional crisis. You know.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Every time freaking Mummy Biden violated the constitution got slapped
down by a judge that was just a crazy judge
who ended Biden's effort to do what is good and
godly in the world, right, it was never we're headed.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
For a constitutional crisis. It was like, yeah, we'll let
the courts do what they do. They'll work through the process,
and then there will be an appeal, then another appeal,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
No this every time there's a disagreement, we're heading straight
toward a car but this one does have the potential
of a hell of a high level fight. And as
Andrew Jackson famously said of the Supreme Court many moons ago,
they've made their ruling, Now let them enforce it. You
don't want to have that in our system, open defiance
(21:54):
of one branch for another.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I'd be bad.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Trump has indicated I'll go along with the courts if
they give me a final ruling.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So Andrew Jackson said that that's a Didn't somebody say
how big is their army or something like that, something
a similar sort of thing. You and what army the
sort of thing?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah, essentially, Yeah, that ain't good though, No, No, that
might be something like I mean, if the Supreme Court said, now,
you've got to bring those people back and the administration said, no,
we're not gonna that would be a constitutional crisis. Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I know what I was going to say earlier, and
I been forgetting to say it all day long. I
feel like because I keep thinking about the politics of
this more than the law of this, but the politics
of this. If I'm Trump, I would think, let's get
that guy back here, because we're booting out all kinds
of illegals. People are on our side on this. This
one's causing all this trouble. Just get him back here,
(22:56):
We'll send him somewhere else, or put him in jail
for something.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Well yeah, or say yeah, hey, this guy, there's a
question mark. Let's have a hearing, then boot his ass
out again, because if what they say is clear, his
ass will be booted.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Right. So instead of being a Pam Bondi and karenly Levitt,
you know, fighting this really really hard over this one guy,
I think politically he'd be better off given in on
this one and just continuing to deport people faster than
anybody ever has, or.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Not give in, but just go along and work through
the process I just described. But yeah, I see what
you're saying. Although if he is indeed an MS thirteen
guy who was a oh, let's you know what we
had to where is that the dude was a repeat offender,
wife beater. Yeah, Caroline Levet, this is a tough one.
This is a tough one. Yeah, I want to listen
(23:47):
to this. But man, I took this in from both
sides all day yesterday.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
It was revealed through Maryland's court documents that Abraio Garcia's
wife petitioned for an order of protection against him for
two instances of domestic violence in May of twenty twenty one,
and here is the order right here. The court ordered
that the respondent committed the following acts of abuse once
(24:11):
in May of twenty twenty one, assault in any degree,
and on May fourth of twenty twenty one, he punched
and scratched his wife, ripped off her shirt, and grabbed
and bruised her. This is from a court in Maryland.
So not only are Democrats rushing to defend an illegal criminal,
(24:32):
foreign terrorist gang member, but also an apparent woman beater.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right, So she went to the cops because he was
violent and said all those things in there documented and
all that sort of stuff. But now she says, we
worked it all out. He's a loving dad and father,
and I stand by him and love him, and it's
horrible what has happened to him for some reason.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Hmmm, battered wife syndrome. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm not exactly sure what made
her change tune on that, But that's that's what she's
that's what she's saying now.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
In a related topic, the Wall Street Journal Editorial board
in a staunchly pro Trumpy editorial, paragraph after paragraph describing
how brilliant the success on the border has been, controlling it.
The astonishing change in statistics. According to US Border Customs
(25:27):
and Border Protection. Who would know, in March, seventy two
hundred illegal immigrants were detained at the southwest border and
another thirty nine hundred and thirty eight hundred at ports
of entry. So that's eleven thousand encounters in March. Previous March,
(25:49):
it wasn't eleven thousand, it was one hundred and ninety thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
And it's lower than even during the early days of
the COVID nineteen pandemic. They point out that he Trump
has put a lie to the Biden. We need laws.
I mean, it's a absolutely glowing testament to the success
of the Trump border policies and the point they're driving toward.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And this is true.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
One surprise that I'm quoting is that mister Trump hasn't
taken more credit for this accomplishment. Instead, he's pressing forward
with deportations, deporting gang members and criminals as popular. But
public support drops when it starts to separate families or
happen without due process, and then they say, and they point.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Out and this is so true. Friends.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
The executive order stuff is great, but it can be
overturned on a dime by the next Democrat to be
in the Oval office. And they're urging him. Get with
Congress now and pass serious immigration reform. Get this stuff
on the book, says law, and that way it lasts.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Wow, that'd be huge. Carl Robe was talking the other
day about he doesn't understand why Trump hasn't taken a
victory lap on his biggest success. Yeah, so far, on
what was the number two issue he got elected on,
And that would be the perfect time to do it.
Go down to the border, give a big speech with
the stats you just read about success, and then say, Congress,
(27:18):
I want you to pass legislation that blah blah blah,
and there'd be momentum for it.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Tighten up asylum, make the pathways for legal immigration to
work well, make the easier.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Make the Democrats, because you'd get it through the House.
But make the Democrat or maybe you wouldn't, depending on
what the legislation is. But make the Democrats in the
Senate vote against some sort of immigration law. Put him
in that position again.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Let him try to demagog it and speak plain common
sense supported by eighty five percent of the American people.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
You will, you will beat them like a drum.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
All for that some actual legislation that is the new
law that we in theory would follow. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah, it's going to take a little more patience and
grinding though. And Trump, I think, and this is not
a criticism exactly, it's just an observation.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I think he's a little.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Intoxicated with the speed with which he can get stuff
done by executive orders and reforming agencies and that sort
of thing. And I don't want him to stop the
good stuff he's doing on that score, but we've also
got to work on legislation, so it's permanent.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I mentioned this yesterday. I think he's on day eighty six.
Now Trump has been president for eighty six days or
very close to that. It just doesn't even seem possible.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Yeah, and there are actually some polls out showing a
little Trump fatigue already.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
How would you not have that?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Because the pace of change in chaos is so hot.
You know, if I could be heard in his inner circle,
I'd be saying, if we can pace ourselves a little bit,
we end up getting more done because we could not
get routed in the midterms. We could rout them in
the mid terms. But one of the risks we face
(29:08):
is that people are getting burned out on the uncertainty.
But you know, I'm not in his inner circle, not
in his outer circle.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You're in no circle what's on.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I'm in no circle whatsoever, a circle of my own making.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I think I'm going to write up a will during
the commercials. I thought I was feeling better, but no,
I'm feeling worse. So jot down some things.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, sure, sure.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Am I of sound mind and body. I'm of sound mind.
I don't know if I'm of sound body.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Michael, do you have an opinion on the mister Armstrong
sound cleaned?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
His house? Is your house cleaning?
Speaker 10 (29:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You don't w a Gene Hackney situation, right, rat feces,
et cetera.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
People talk.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I can promise you I have no rat feces in
my house. Clutter can money and clutter, but yes I can. Okay,
we will finish strong.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
We got married two years ago and he sees me
in my wedding dress coming down the aisle.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
This man does not shed a tear.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
My dad gave this beautiful speech on our wedding day.
Nothing yesterday.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
He's watching this golf.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Tournament, and he cried when the whatever his name is,
when he won.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
He cried over a gulf.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
It is the maddest I've ever been.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
He has a point.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, if he doesn't tear up at all these other things,
but does when he's watching a golfer win a tournament, that.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Is as a hell of a great tournament.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Though, Oh the years of struggle, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Everything we believe about kids and phones might be wrong.
According to a new study out of the University of South.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Florida, it's not, but go on Florida Man.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
He surveyed fifteen hundred kids ages eleven to thirteen, kids
with smartphones and found that those kids reported better mental
health than those without smartphones on a number of different measures,
including higher self esteem, being less likely to feel depressed,
and this held across socio economic differences of the children
(31:19):
being a surveyed this survey challenge and the people who
did the survey, by the way, they're big fans of
the Jonathan Chate book Anxious Nation, and they weren't expecting
these results themselves. They say, the USF survey challenges of
belief that kids with cell phones are more likely to
(31:40):
be shut ins who never leave their bedroom. In fact,
surveyed kids with smartphones were overall more likely to spend
time with friends in person. Middle schoolers were using phones
to spend time online with their friends, do school related tasks,
play learning games, and coordinate hangouts with friends.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I have a few notices of skepticism to sound and
I have an open mind about this stuff because I
want to make sure my opinions are well founded. But
number one, where there is self reporting, there is bad data.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
A researcher said that once, and it's absolutely true. Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Secondly, it sounds to me like they're measuring popularity and
fitting in at this moment as opposed a long term
mental health.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
But I am intrigued. I'll look into it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
My son was the last one in his group to
get a phone, and he missed out on a lot
of conversations and get together some stuff because he didn't
have a phone. His final thoughts.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
So well comments and entertains yas closure for the show.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Beautiful. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
To wrap up the show. There is our technical director
pressing the buttons. Hey, Mike Lanzelow, what's your final thought?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Yeah, when the NFL starts back up, I'm gonna do
a sports bet with my brother and whoever loses is
gonna be a footstool for the day. Yes, the human footstool.
Katie Green are esteemed mus woman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
I've put together a new Katie's corner for today and
the Hey a driveway.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Video is available there at arms so.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
You can see the people involved in Yes, what may
be the funniest audio we've ever played.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Jack a final thought for us, the common cold, which
is what I think I have or something like that,
is just so we gotta do something about that. Can
we make that our moonshoti Ela, Let's skip Mars and
cure the common freaking gold.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
Yeah, dude, that or mosquitoes either way, just you know,
Mars is lovely, but how about back your honors? My
final thought is kind of lame, but as funny. Jan
in San Diego emailed us with the same thought I had.
I went to the University of Illinois. Our team is
the Fighting Aliini and every time I hear the Fighting
Oligarchs tour, I just think of a college with a
mascot that's an oligarch, the fighting Oligarchs.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
It wouldn't be like the Monopoly.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Money guy or something like that, charging around the stadium
waving a flag.

I'm Strong and Getty, but this is the PLA.

We will not be silent, So stop yelling.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
At me pretty please you sugar on top.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
We're happy the way we are. Okay, all these crazy thinking.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
As that great Chicago and Ferris Bueller wants noted, or you're.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Not going to hear much about that on corporate television.
You should be really pissed.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
You there.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Your time is expired.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty and now he I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I mean, when I see the rocket, I see a
list of all the things that are wrong, all of
the ways that it.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Could go wrong and potentially fail.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So you could have a first stage failure, second stage failure,
stage separation failure. Uh, that could be a sort of
an engine failure on the spacecraft itself. When when it's
coming back, it's coming in so fast it's a blazing
meteor and if anything happens to the heat shield, Uh,
the whole.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Craft is going to disintegrate. Needs to be remembered that
I suppose it'll be remembered when he's done with his
whole doge thing. And he might already be. He's one
of the great rocket scientists of all time and thinkers
and entrepreneurs who have ever lived. Yeah, and I was
listening to some smart people discussed the other day how
(01:11):
he might be the only person remembered from this era
two hundred years from now. He's that kind of person,
like an Isaac Newton or an Einstein or a galileo,
or that he's that kind of person.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, that's not an unreasonable thing to say. Yeah, he
is a fascinating guy, incredibly complicated and brilliant and half
a nut, which often goes with genius. And as we've
mentioned before, both Jack and I are of the opinion
that if you have kids, you should raise them, You
(01:45):
should try to keep a marriage intact best you can.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
You should probably not produce.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
A child outside of wedlock and the fairly traditional values.
And Elon, whose work at DOGE, for instance, is something
we're enormous fans of, is just an utter flaming. It's
as if his heat shield had broken and the craft
of his morality in family matters had disintegrated, like the
(02:11):
rocket I described.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I honestly can't think about it too much or it
makes me sad. I just it just it bothers me
so much. The whole concept of you know, I had
a kid with this woman, and we need more people,
and she's gonna have plenty of money. You just I
don't understand how you don't have the concept of how
much that kid, that little boy, or that little girl
(02:33):
wants a real dad.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Was he abused, what isn't he emotionally and or physically
abused by his dad?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, I don't know that. I don't. I don't have
any memory of that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Or somebody somebody google around her or bing bing it.
I think there was some I remember he mentioned his
childhood was terrible.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, yeah, but he got beat up at school. Not
and I lived in South Africa. But I don't. I
don't know if there's any child abuse out of his family.
I've never get Yeah, I was asking, not saying anyway.
So the Wall Street General had an article about his
Let me go further, Yes, let me go even further
with this really sad commentary of my Oh boy, I've
had the I've had the experience before with kids who
(03:15):
don't have a dad playing at the park, when when
kids were littler, and the way they were attracted to
me to with me and play like catch or do
something like that. I mean, it was so obvious they
just wanted to have that whole tale for it, for it.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Oh and it just breaks your heart. Yeah, my gosh. Yeah,
I had that same experience raising my kids, and it was, oh,
it was so hard to take anyway. Uh, And I've
known plenty of people who had plenty of money but
not a good male role model, and then they end
up badly in a lot of cases.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Anyway, Katie, So there's an article from Fortune saying that
Elon has PTSD from a turbulent childhood from his time
in South Africa and big verbal abuse from his father.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Hmm okay, I thought I remembered that. Yeah, I wonder
if that plays into this. But anyway, to the facts
and then we can discuss this piece starts with Ashley
Saint Clair wanted to prove that Elon Musk was the
father of a newborn baby, but to ask the billionaire
to take a paternity test, the right wing social media
influencer had to go through Musk's longtime fixer, Jared Birchall.
(04:24):
I don't want my son to feel like he's a secret,
she told him in a two hour phone call in December.
Birchall offered Saint Clair some advice. His boss was quote
a very big hearted, kind and generous person, he said,
but Musk had a different side. When a mother of
his child goes the legal route in these discussions, quote
(04:44):
that always always leads to worse outcomes for the woman
than what it would have been otherwise, Birchall told the
twenty six year old Hotty Plus.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
He said Musk wasn't.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Sure the child was his, and it's not the first
such conversation for Birchall.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
They right.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
His public job is running Musk's family office. He recently
helped organize the quarter billion dollar push in support of
Donald Trump. But behind the scenes, Birchall also manages the
financial and privacy deals Musk wants for the women raising
the world's richest babies. Musk has at least fourteen children
for four women.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And he's only what is he fifty three? Something like that.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
He's not right, at least fourteen, including with the pop
musician Grimes and Chivon Zillis, an executive at his brain
computer company, Neuralink. Multiple sources close to the Tech Entrepreneur
said they believe the true number of Musk's children is
much higher than publicly known. Here's the part that makes
even me want to be impregnated by Elon Musk, in
(05:47):
spite of the sad commentary of a moment earlier.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He is fifty three, and he's got a lot. He's
got time to have fourteen more.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Musk offered Miss Saint Clair fifteen million dollars and one
hundred thousand dollars a month in support in exchange for
her silence about the child. Don't talk about it, don't
say it's fine. I'll give you fifteen million dollars and
one hundred grand a month. Similar agreements have been negotiated
(06:17):
with other mothers of Musk's children.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Birchall told Saint.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Clair, I know more about this than I wish I knew,
but that that's a lot of money. Obviously, that's way
less than you would get if the courts made a
decision though, oh interesting, way less.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Although to get that without any storm and drawn.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, I mean if I was if I was her,
i'd sign up for that. You know, don't have to
go to court, don't have to go through all the crap.
Don't have to. You don't have to become a you'd
become a celebrity. People would know your name, you'd be
in the New York Post. I mean, avoid all that.
Take care. One hundred one thousand dollars a month and
fifteen million you'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, honestly, you get that. Fifteen million, one hundred thousand
dollars a month is tip money. If he invested it
all wisely anyway, So they mentioned that Musk's baby making
project has to do with his his his overall goals
for NASA and exploring space and colonizing Mars. In musks
(07:27):
view of the world, civilization is under threat because of
a declining population. He is driven to correct the historic
moment by helping seed the Earth with more human beings
of high intelligence. According to people familiar with the matter,
it's not that he's just free with his lovin.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
He's doing this on.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Purpose, right. It seems a little ridiculous then in that.
I mean if he went Berzerco, if he went Biblical,
he could have what one hundred and fifty kids maybe.
I mean that's gonna have no effect on planet Earth
in our population.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Right, I mean, move right through old Bluesman into I
don't know who procreates even more than hen.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
To get into Moses territory, Abraham territory. That's right, sir
h Musk.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
The first use offspring as a legion, a reference to
the ancient military units that can contain thousands of soldiers,
and we're key.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
To extending the reach of the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I mean, he is brilliant, So you got that trait,
you know, he might be passing along to your kid.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, so, ladies, how do you like this for pillow talk?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
During Saint Clair's pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in
other women to have even more of their children faster
to reach legion level before the apocalypse. He said to
Saint Clair in a text viewed by The Wall Street Journal,
we will need to use surrogates.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
So look your eggs.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
My sperm will impregnate a bunch of surrogate moms with them,
and we can have like a ten kids this year.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So decent chance the kid. I know, I'm turning it
sad again. Decent chance the kid does not have an
adult male role model around at all for the early years,
which is horrifying to me. And then even if she
you know, meets a nice guy, falls in love and
the guy you know takes care of the kid as
his own, which would be the best case scenario and
(09:22):
could easily happen, the kids always, because I've known people
like this, the kid's always gonna feel rejected by their father,
like he didn't care about me. My real father didn't
care about me. They're always gonna feel that way.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Even if you explain the philosophy to the kid as
a young adult or whatever. Yeah, I would agree, And
you know, it's funny. I was just thinking about I
was assuming that, yeah, these moms, they will find a
man to be with if if that's you know, something
they want in their life, and most people do to
have a partner. But then my mind went to if
(09:56):
you have wealth or fame, you're never sure why people
are coming at you, absolutely including suturs. If you're a
you know, a wealthy fellow who you know, whether it's
divorce or God forbid, widowhood or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh so you're seeing you see these women are all
rich and targets. Yeah, bad dudes.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And it has nothing to do with eland Musk story
flitting into my mind. Birchall described this is his assistant guy. Remember,
he described Musks expectator expectations to Saint Clair quote privacy
and Fitouniolity is the top of the list in every
aspect of his life. Every aspect in his entire world
is set up to be like a meritocracy benefits flow.
(10:47):
He said, when people do good work, more of the Hey,
go along.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
With the plan and you will be richly rewarded.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
During the call with Birchall, Saint Clair told him she
had received outreach from a woman Musket invited to have
his baby. She said she was being caught up in
Musk's harem drama.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
A person familiar with Musk thinking on the agreements with
the mothers, said, Musk believes it is better to resolve
these matters behind closed doors for the safety and security
of the child. Civilization is going to crumble if people
don't start having more children.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That's true, but you ain't gonna change it on your own.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, let's see Martin Varsovaski, that's pretty wacky that
this is an aspect of him, and that is definitely wacky.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
So there's this buddy of his.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Martin var Varsavaski, a friend of Musque who found it
a large change of in vitro fertilization clinics, has said
he's spoken with Musk about the risks of falling birth rates. Quote,
without babies, there's no future. Every problem becomes secondary to
the problem of not having people on the planet. Elon
believes that a country is not the geography. A country
is the people well and the principles.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Wow. So I would say, if there are no people
on the planet, the point is moot.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Vivian Wilson won a Musk's older children from his first wife.
Justine said recently to teen Vogue that she doesn't know
how many half siblings she has in her family. Musk
is now estranged from Vivian because he refuses to accept
her identity as transgender. Okay, there we go. Justine had
six children with Musque. One died as a baby. Huh,
(12:30):
that's odd. That is odd.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Fifteen kids. They only need to live together in one
house in a reality show.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
By the way, the kids the new kid's name is Romulus.
That's a pretty cool name, at least like your reality
show What are you gonna call it?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
House of Musk.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And they vote one person off every week for not
being musky enough.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Keep going with the doge stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, and get us to Mars. I'd be exciting to watch.
Oh yeah, just the.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Whole you're going to repopulate the Earth thing? You're a scientist.
I'm not sure the math works.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Love the screen on my Tesla. Don't love the cranking
out kids. You don't take care of so ye pluses
and minuses any comment on any of this. Text Line

Speaker 7 (13:22):
Hetty Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's warning about President Trump's
sweeping tariff policy his words sparking losses in the stock markets.
Is nowtfalling nearly seven hundred points, the S and P
five hundred down more than two percent, the tech heavy
NASDAC losing more than three percent.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, the Fed guy came out yesterday and said there's
gonna be inflation, bry some loose some some higher unemployment.
But what are you gonna do? I'll see how big
a deal that is.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Now long it lasts, Wall Street tanked and Trump said
you're fired, which he can't actually do, but he's trying to.
One more note on Elon Musk. He urged his mother's,
the mothers of his baby, to deliver via cesarean section
because he posted on X that vaginal births limit brain
size and sea sections allow for larger brains.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's some correlation maybe, but it's weak.
They say, wow, between brain size and intelligence.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well does it actually you actually have a bigger brain
if you're delivered sea section? I don't know I would
think that'd be not known. It seems like that'd be
a very commonly known thing if it were.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
But since there's like no significance to it, according to
most studies, no nobody knows or cares.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
How does it affect some length? Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I have no idea how big my brain is either,
I have no idea. Seems like there's a lot of space.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You have an opinion I have.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So I don't care who's the mayor of New York
City as much as everybody in the media cares. Because
they live in New York City. They act like it's
very important all of us. They have an election next year.
Zo Ran Mamdani is currently in second place. Do you
know who's in first place? Andrew freaking Cuomo, which I
can't believe in the polling because only a Democrat can win.
(15:23):
So they we look at the polls of the Democrats.
But I can't believe Andrew Cuomo all the things that
he did, I mean, whether it's harassing women or sending
old people to their deads during COVID that he's going
to be the government the mayor of New York But anyway,
and I love you, He's in first place in the polls.
The guy behind him in second place is Zooran Mamdani.
What does this guy believe? He's the breakthrough star of
(15:48):
the Democratic Party this year According to a lot of
people who watch this sort of thing, thirty three year old,
he wants to freeze all rents, have the government run
grocery stores, and make both childcare and bus transit free
for all. Wow, that's what he's running on.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
You're talking earlier about how the Democratic Party has to
run like a Bernie or in AOC and lose forty
eight states to realize nobody wants this crap. Part of
me says, let him win the election, run New York
City for that like that, rather for four years, and.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We'll see how you couldn't run it for four years.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
You couldn't run it for four months like that?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Childcare and bus trends. It will be free for everybody.
Gone all rents. Yeah, and the government will run the
grocery stores.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Wow. The Free Press has a great video right now.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I think you'd get to paywalled if we put the
link up at the website. But this guy, every phase
of his life, in every interview he does, he uses
a different accent really to like fit in or be
down with whoever he's talking.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So it's not just his economics that are crazy. He's
also crazy crazy, or he's just a phony, pandering Trustafarian. Yeah,
God dang it. I almost hope the pop that they
fall for it and vote the guy in. Yeah, like
you said, give it a whirl, see how it goes,
idiots Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
The administration has made it clear they intend to appeal this.
They're going to fight because here Boseburg says that the
administration's actions, specifically not turning around flights that were already
in the air full of those migrants, that that constituted
a willful disregard of his order. Now, the Justice Department
is argued that he was overstepping his authority by trying
(17:36):
to interfere in the implementation of a foreign policy. Now
he has said he will begin contempt proceedings unless the
migrants who are on those planes are afforded some sort
of process, an opportunity to have their cases heard.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So well, let's hear. Let's hear from Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi,
she's the Attorney General explaining what a bad guy this
guy was that we sent to El Salvador.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
This illegal alien terrorist came into our country illegally in March.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Of twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We know that because he admitted that when he was
stopped in twenty nineteen by the anti gang squad. They
stopped him at a home depot with three other members.
And here's what's very important. He was wearing a sweatshirt
with gang insignia on it.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So there's the politics of this, and then there's the
constitutionality legal part of this. I think the I think
the Trump people are definitely winning on the politics of this.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I don't know, Jane.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
They've heard he was a nice fella. Can we hear
fifty three real quick?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Michael?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Exactly one month ago, the Trump administration abducted and imprisoned
a Maryland man named Abrego Garcia.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Abrego Garcia, the Maryland Man, a Maryland Man, marilynd Man.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
The growing calls return the Maryland.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Man, that Maryland man, a Maryland man.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
That fate of that Maryland man in the case of
a Maryland father, the wrongful deporty.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
So I'm a Maryland Man to l Salvador.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He is, of course the Maryland man now held in
l Salvador's Mega prison.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
But there's not a question of whether he's illegal or not.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Right, he's a Maryland father Jack you monster, No, No,
he had a final defortation order on him, so he
was here illegally. And the reason I think Trump's winning
on this politically is two thirds of Americans want all
illegals deported, all.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Undocumented people deported. I mean, so politically, I think I
don't think I think you get much traction you get
into the whole due process thing legally though, And then
that's so, does it make any difference whether he was
a gang member or not to the due process since
the Constitution says all persons get due process?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Well, yeah, but it depends on what process you're talking about.
There's not like due process doesn't mean one specific thing.
It just means the government can't behave arbitrarily. So if
you're an immigrant who's committed a crime, have different processes
than a citizen accused of a crime. For instance, deportation
(20:07):
is different than criminal conviction, is different than civil procedure.
So what is the due process owed to an illegal
who's identified by a confidential, reliable informant as a gang member?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And then also as a thought experiment, if they come
up with an email or somebody testifies or something that
proves let's say they knew before the flight's left that
the judge had said, don't fly those people out of here. Yeah,
(20:47):
what sort of a jackpot would they be in at
that point?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
A big one.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I mean, if you could get somebody who say, just
go get on plane, go go go, go, go get
that thing off the ground.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You know, every time the taking a branch disagrees with
the any judge, if it's a Republican president, it's a
constitutional crisis we have.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
We are heading toward a constitutional crisis. You know.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Every time freaking Mummy Biden violated the constitution got slapped
down by a judge that was just a crazy judge
who ended Biden's effort to do what is good and
godly in the world, right, it was never we're headed.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
For a constitutional crisis. It was like, yeah, we'll let
the courts do what they do. They'll work through the process,
and then there will be an appeal, then another appeal,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
No this every time there's a disagreement, we're heading straight
toward a car but this one does have the potential
of a hell of a high level fight. And as
Andrew Jackson famously said of the Supreme Court many moons ago,
they've made their ruling, Now let them enforce it. You
don't want to have that in our system, open defiance
(21:54):
of one branch for another.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I'd be bad.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Trump has indicated I'll go along with the courts if
they give me a final ruling.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So Andrew Jackson said that that's a Didn't somebody say
how big is their army or something like that, something
a similar sort of thing. You and what army the
sort of thing?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah, essentially, Yeah, that ain't good though, No, No, that
might be something like I mean, if the Supreme Court said, now,
you've got to bring those people back and the administration said, no,
we're not gonna that would be a constitutional crisis. Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I know what I was going to say earlier, and
I been forgetting to say it all day long. I
feel like because I keep thinking about the politics of
this more than the law of this, but the politics
of this. If I'm Trump, I would think, let's get
that guy back here, because we're booting out all kinds
of illegals. People are on our side on this. This
one's causing all this trouble. Just get him back here,
(22:56):
We'll send him somewhere else, or put him in jail
for something.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Well yeah, or say yeah, hey, this guy, there's a
question mark. Let's have a hearing, then boot his ass
out again, because if what they say is clear, his
ass will be booted.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Right. So instead of being a Pam Bondi and karenly Levitt,
you know, fighting this really really hard over this one guy,
I think politically he'd be better off given in on
this one and just continuing to deport people faster than
anybody ever has, or.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Not give in, but just go along and work through
the process I just described. But yeah, I see what
you're saying. Although if he is indeed an MS thirteen
guy who was a oh, let's you know what we
had to where is that the dude was a repeat offender,
wife beater. Yeah, Caroline Levet, this is a tough one.
This is a tough one. Yeah, I want to listen
(23:47):
to this. But man, I took this in from both
sides all day yesterday.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
It was revealed through Maryland's court documents that Abraio Garcia's
wife petitioned for an order of protection against him for
two instances of domestic violence in May of twenty twenty one,
and here is the order right here. The court ordered
that the respondent committed the following acts of abuse once
(24:11):
in May of twenty twenty one, assault in any degree,
and on May fourth of twenty twenty one, he punched
and scratched his wife, ripped off her shirt, and grabbed
and bruised her. This is from a court in Maryland.
So not only are Democrats rushing to defend an illegal criminal,
(24:32):
foreign terrorist gang member, but also an apparent woman beater.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right, So she went to the cops because he was
violent and said all those things in there documented and
all that sort of stuff. But now she says, we
worked it all out. He's a loving dad and father,
and I stand by him and love him, and it's
horrible what has happened to him for some reason.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Hmmm, battered wife syndrome. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm not exactly sure what made
her change tune on that, But that's that's what she's
that's what she's saying now.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
In a related topic, the Wall Street Journal Editorial board
in a staunchly pro Trumpy editorial, paragraph after paragraph describing
how brilliant the success on the border has been, controlling it.
The astonishing change in statistics. According to US Border Customs
(25:27):
and Border Protection. Who would know, in March, seventy two
hundred illegal immigrants were detained at the southwest border and
another thirty nine hundred and thirty eight hundred at ports
of entry. So that's eleven thousand encounters in March. Previous March,
(25:49):
it wasn't eleven thousand, it was one hundred and ninety thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
And it's lower than even during the early days of
the COVID nineteen pandemic. They point out that he Trump
has put a lie to the Biden. We need laws.
I mean, it's a absolutely glowing testament to the success
of the Trump border policies and the point they're driving toward.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And this is true.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
One surprise that I'm quoting is that mister Trump hasn't
taken more credit for this accomplishment. Instead, he's pressing forward
with deportations, deporting gang members and criminals as popular. But
public support drops when it starts to separate families or
happen without due process, and then they say, and they point.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Out and this is so true. Friends.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
The executive order stuff is great, but it can be
overturned on a dime by the next Democrat to be
in the Oval office. And they're urging him. Get with
Congress now and pass serious immigration reform. Get this stuff
on the book, says law, and that way it lasts.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Wow, that'd be huge. Carl Robe was talking the other
day about he doesn't understand why Trump hasn't taken a
victory lap on his biggest success. Yeah, so far, on
what was the number two issue he got elected on,
And that would be the perfect time to do it.
Go down to the border, give a big speech with
the stats you just read about success, and then say, Congress,
(27:18):
I want you to pass legislation that blah blah blah,
and there'd be momentum for it.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Tighten up asylum, make the pathways for legal immigration to
work well, make the easier.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Make the Democrats, because you'd get it through the House.
But make the Democrat or maybe you wouldn't, depending on
what the legislation is. But make the Democrats in the
Senate vote against some sort of immigration law. Put him
in that position again.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Let him try to demagog it and speak plain common
sense supported by eighty five percent of the American people.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
You will, you will beat them like a drum.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
All for that some actual legislation that is the new
law that we in theory would follow. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah, it's going to take a little more patience and
grinding though. And Trump, I think, and this is not
a criticism exactly, it's just an observation.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I think he's a little.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Intoxicated with the speed with which he can get stuff
done by executive orders and reforming agencies and that sort
of thing. And I don't want him to stop the
good stuff he's doing on that score, but we've also
got to work on legislation, so it's permanent.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I mentioned this yesterday. I think he's on day eighty six.
Now Trump has been president for eighty six days or
very close to that. It just doesn't even seem possible.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Yeah, and there are actually some polls out showing a
little Trump fatigue already.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
How would you not have that?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Because the pace of change in chaos is so hot.
You know, if I could be heard in his inner circle,
I'd be saying, if we can pace ourselves a little bit,
we end up getting more done because we could not
get routed in the midterms. We could rout them in
the mid terms. But one of the risks we face
(29:08):
is that people are getting burned out on the uncertainty.
But you know, I'm not in his inner circle, not
in his outer circle.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You're in no circle what's on.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I'm in no circle whatsoever, a circle of my own making.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I think I'm going to write up a will during
the commercials. I thought I was feeling better, but no,
I'm feeling worse. So jot down some things.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, sure, sure.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Am I of sound mind and body. I'm of sound mind.
I don't know if I'm of sound body.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Michael, do you have an opinion on the mister Armstrong
sound cleaned?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
His house? Is your house cleaning?
Speaker 10 (29:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You don't w a Gene Hackney situation, right, rat feces,
et cetera.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
People talk.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I can promise you I have no rat feces in
my house. Clutter can money and clutter, but yes I can. Okay,
we will finish strong.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
We got married two years ago and he sees me
in my wedding dress coming down the aisle.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
This man does not shed a tear.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
My dad gave this beautiful speech on our wedding day.
Nothing yesterday.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
He's watching this golf.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Tournament, and he cried when the whatever his name is,
when he won.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
He cried over a gulf.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
It is the maddest I've ever been.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
He has a point.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, if he doesn't tear up at all these other things,
but does when he's watching a golfer win a tournament, that.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Is as a hell of a great tournament.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Though, Oh the years of struggle, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Everything we believe about kids and phones might be wrong.
According to a new study out of the University of South.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Florida, it's not, but go on Florida Man.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
He surveyed fifteen hundred kids ages eleven to thirteen, kids
with smartphones and found that those kids reported better mental
health than those without smartphones on a number of different measures,
including higher self esteem, being less likely to feel depressed,
and this held across socio economic differences of the children
(31:19):
being a surveyed this survey challenge and the people who
did the survey, by the way, they're big fans of
the Jonathan Chate book Anxious Nation, and they weren't expecting
these results themselves. They say, the USF survey challenges of
belief that kids with cell phones are more likely to
(31:40):
be shut ins who never leave their bedroom. In fact,
surveyed kids with smartphones were overall more likely to spend
time with friends in person. Middle schoolers were using phones
to spend time online with their friends, do school related tasks,
play learning games, and coordinate hangouts with friends.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I have a few notices of skepticism to sound and
I have an open mind about this stuff because I
want to make sure my opinions are well founded. But
number one, where there is self reporting, there is bad data.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
A researcher said that once, and it's absolutely true. Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Secondly, it sounds to me like they're measuring popularity and
fitting in at this moment as opposed a long term
mental health.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
But I am intrigued. I'll look into it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
My son was the last one in his group to
get a phone, and he missed out on a lot
of conversations and get together some stuff because he didn't
have a phone. His final thoughts.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
So well comments and entertains yas closure for the show.
Speaker 2 (33:03):

cure the common freaking gold.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
Yeah, dude, that or mosquitoes either way, just you know,
Mars is lovely, but how about back your honors? My
final thought is kind of lame, but as funny. Jan
in San Diego emailed us with the same thought I had.
I went to the University of Illinois. Our team is
the Fighting Aliini and every time I hear the Fighting
Oligarchs tour, I just think of a college with a
mascot that's an oligarch, the fighting Oligarchs.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
It wouldn't be like the Monopoly.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Money guy or something like that, charging around the stadium

I'm Strong and Getty, but this is the PLA.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
We will not be silent, So stop yelling.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
At me pretty please you sugar on top.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
We're happy the way we are. Okay, all these crazy thinking.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
As that great Chicago and Ferris Bueller wants noted, or you're.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Not going to hear much about that on corporate television.
You should be really pissed.
