Hour 2 of A&G features...
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and Getty show, It's weird.
Beautiful, Wow, I have thirty milkshakes and also chicken.
To take care of the.
Business. Good money can.
Get rich right, very much in the way you hope you like each other.
Right.
That's Trump milling around a Chick fil A and being a man of the people, which is pretty impressive for a billionaire who's been rich's whole life.
He's good at that.
I want thirty milkshakes and also some chicken, which is our quote of the day and probably is going to be on the short list for a Clip of the year.
Dirty milk jacks and also chicken.
Yes, that sounds like a party to me, and talk to me about that clip. Also is the key is Joe pointed out, And also some chicken.
Dirty milk jacks and also chicken.
What strikes me about that clip, other than that it's just hilarious on its face, is that he said, is everybody making money.
Business is good. We're all going to get rich, right.
Trump celebrates success in a way that has practically vanished from our culture. Now, certainly he's got gold plated everything. He does everything to excess, blah blah blah. He's like a cartoon version of it. But he's celebrating being successful.
Yeah.
The idea of walking into a business and thinking about, hey, people are making money, you're making money doing good or getting rich, as opposed to here's stuff I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you some more of this and give you some more of that to try to help you out of this awful situation, which is what the Democrats always do, right, right, Speaking of awful situations, it is remarkable the extent to which the new book by Jonathan Hight, The Anxious Generation, is coming into my radar screen in real life mind shore.
Yeah, my wife brought it up. She said, hey, what's the book that is about the Internet and kids and their brains. I've had a couple of my friends ask me about it, and it just keeps coming up, and I'm seeing a great deal of attention paid to it in the media as well, obviously.
Right all over the place, podcasts, columns, TV shows. Yeah, I'm happy that people are talking about this because it's a huge story.
We quoted Peggy Noonan a piece she wrote not too long ago the other day, and I'm going to requote it now. She wrote, There's a funny thing that happens in a nation's thoughts. At some point everyone knows something is true and talks about it with each other. The truth becomes a cliche before it becomes actionable. Then a person of high respect, a good faith scholar who respects data, say, comes forward with evidence proving what everyone knows.
And it is galvanizing.
It hits like a thunderclap and gives us all permission to know what we know and act on it.
And she thinks, this is such a moment.
Jonathan Hights's new book The Anxious Generation, and the subtitle is important, how the great Rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness. And I revere Jonathan Height as well as some of the folks he writes with, like Greg lukian Off, James Lindsay and all. So I got the book in hardcover, I hold it in my greasy bit.
It's not a great title, the rewiring of childhood.
And he gets into that is not merely a metaphor. He gets into the neurological reality of how kids worlds have changed fundamentally. But I grabbed the book, and of course I read the introduction, and I thought I would share part of it with you. I thought it was so good. Now I tend to see the world through metaphors. They helped me understand what's going on. But I thought this one was so skillful. Suppose that when your first child turned ten, a visionary billionaire whom you've never met, chose her to join the first permanent human settlement on Mars. Her academic performance plus an analysis of her genome, which you don't remember giving consent for, clinched her for a spot. Unbeknownst to you, she had signed up herself for the mission because she loves outer space, and besides, all of her friends have signed up. She begged you to let her go. Before saying no, you agree to learn more. You learn that the reason they're recruiting children is that they adapt better to the unusual conditions of Mars than adults, particularly the low gravity. If children go through puberty and its associated growth spurred on Mars, their bodies will be permanently tailored to it, unlike settlers who come over as adults at least, that's the theory. It's unknown whether Mars adapted children would be able to return to Earth at all.
You find other reasons for fear. First, there's the radiation.
Earth flora and fauna evolved under the protective shield of the magnetosphere, which blockser diverts most of the solar wind, cosmic rays, and other streams of harmful particles that bombard our planet. Mars doesn't have such a shield, so a far greater number of ions would shoot through the DNA of each selling your daughter's body. The project's planners have built protective shields, but nobody's sure if they'd work. Children are at an even higher risk because their cells are developing and diversifying more rapidly, and which experience higher rates of cellular damage. Did the planners take this into account? Did they do any research on child safety at all? As far as you can tell, no. And then there's gravity. Evolution optimizes the structure of every creature over eons for the gravitational force on our particular planet. Then he goes into a fair amount of detail. Removing this constant pull profoundly affects our bodies. The muscles of adult astronauts who spend months in the weightlessness of space become weaker and their bones become less dense. Their body fluids collect in places where they shouldn't, such as the brain cavity, which puts pressure on the eyeballs and changes their shape. Mars has gravity, but it's only thirty eight percent of what a child would experience on Earth. Children raised in a low gravity environment on Mars would be at high risk of developing deformities in their skeletons, hearts, eyes, and brains. Did the planners take this vulnerability of children into account as far as you can tell, no, So would you let her go?
Of course not.
You realize this is a completely insane idea, sending children to Mars, perhaps never to return to Earth.
Why would any parent allow it?
The company behind the project is racing to stake its claim to Mars before any rival company. It's leaders don't seem to know anything about child development and don't seem to care about children's safety. Worse still, the company did not require proof of parental permission. As long as a child checks a box stating she has obtained parental permission, she can blast off to Mars. No company would ever take our children away and endanger them without our consent, or they would face massive liabilities. Right, And then he departs the metaphor and gets into more of the literal stuff, his point being everything from taking away free play and exploration and kids interacting personally with each other. I was just reminiscing about sitting around with my closest friend group in high school, including my girlfriend, and we'd be chatting about the world or whatever and laughing and joking, and then if there would be a lull, one of the girls would inevitably say lull and we would laugh and the conversation would continue.
That's pretty funny.
And so you're taking away the free play, the interaction, the conversation, the hanging out, the being bored. We can start there and substituting this completely experimental, for profit, deliberately addictive online life for children. And that's the whole Mars metaphor. Whose children whose brains have not formed, they will be formed on Mars, or their brain will be formed online. No longer in the actual material world with actual human beings. At the moment, it is most plastic and changing, most rapidly, and most prone to mutation.
Hence his cancer metaphor there.
That is, when we're letting them participate in this for profit experiment, what parent would consent to that, especially knowing that the for profit companies involved don't know anything about child development, and to the extent that they've heard about child development, they don't give a crap.
And I'd like to use a different word because they don't. So what is he talking mostly about kids doing?
Just being on?
Just screen time in general or more specifically social media. It covers a fair amount of ground, which is to heights credit. Anybody who identifies a single narrow cause or solution is probably just grossly oversimplifying it. But yes, staring at the smartphone, social media, endless clicks, the in door generation, the uh what do we call it? I keep forgetting the term dopamine culture. Yeah, dopamine culture.
We don't even like sit through a drama to get to the end and have a tear in our eye, but a joy because the hero blah blah blah, No, just scrolling endless eight second videos to get the shot of dopamine.
God.
I got an example of that I tried to watch with my kids. So I subscribe to every streaming thing there is for some reason, and we were flipping through one of them and I came across. I said, oh, that's my one of my favorite movies all time is one of your sixties Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western's Fistful, Good Bad and Ugly, The Good Bad and the Young One.
And Henry said, well, let's watch it.
If it's one of your favorite movies of all times, probably a little slow for.
You anyway, so I put it on for the kids.
I mean, this is among the slowest movies ever made, yes, even by those days. I mean there's not a word spoken for like the first twenty minutes. It's just like desert scenes and grimaces music and.
The pace of it. And I found it like nourishment.
It was just like, oh my god, that you can breathe and this is art and it's just ah, I'm loving this so much.
But it was killing them. It was just killing them.
When they're used to the little tiny YouTube videos just blah blah blah blah blah blah, punchline, bah blah blah blah blah, surprise blah blah blah blah blah blah and reward just constantly. I mean, there's no way they can handle that. Their brains are already so far.
Down that road.
It's like your idiotic Marvel superhero movies that open with a gigantic actions YEA, Uniformly.
People would walk out of the theater. And I don't know how much you.
Know about neurological development, or if you've thought about this at all. I know a lot of you are probably ahead of us. Some of you haven't really thought about it. But the way a child's brain forms from a conception through being like twenty four years old, it's exceptionally plastic and builds itself.
Once it's built.
It's built, there's really no fixing it, or not very much fixing it. There are new techniques being developed, but if the building materials and the process of building are corrupted while it's being built, there's no coming back. The idea that a kid who's twelve right now and is already just constantly on social media dopamine dopamine, dopamine, the idea that they can when they're thirty seven realize, you know, I'm two into screens, I'm going to go to the woods for a week for an encounter, and that it will affect them the way it affects you as I don't know, fifty year old for instance, doing it right now, you're out of your mind.
That's not the way it works. They are ruined.
And I know that's a strong word, but look at the suicide rates, the anxiety rates, the depression rates. So since that's probably most kids, what world are they going to create?
What is this man?
What is entertain going to be like? What are their lives going to be like? Their free time? What are they going to do for fun? Well, it's a good point.
In twenty eleven, twenty three percent of teens had a smartphone. Now a greater number of eight to twelve year olds has cell phones. Teens have gone from twenty three to seventy nine percent. Eight to twelve year olds have gone from almost none to twenty eight percent. Soon, teens were reporting they spent an average of almost seven hours a day on screens. One out of four every fourteen said that their online quote almost constantly. Girls moved their social lives onto social media. Boys borrowed into immersive video games, Reddit, YouTube, and pornography.
Neither one of my kids have cell phones, but there's plenty other ways to get to screen time in and all their friends have cell phones.
So when you're at third there's.
There is a huge movement starting and I hope it gains steam. No smartphones till you're sixteen, at least somebody say eighteen get the fact that they're allowed at school just drives me nuts. No social media none. Watch The Social Dilemma, the great documentary. I think we've got a link at armstrong egetty dot com. It is so good at explaining how this stuff works to deliberately addict to your child. That's not an after if that's not a bug, as they say, that's a feature.
I've got more to say about this, but we've got to take a break and we'll be talking about this topic like probably for the rest of our careers, and so well the whole country. You can join in text line four one kftcarm Strong he.
According to the new estimates, Costco each month is selling as much as two hundred million dollars worth of gold bar as well.
I'm not surprised since you have to buy like forty eight at a time.
Costco's selling gold bars now generating up to two hundred million dollars a month in sales for Costco.
Wow. Who saw that coming, right, Because it's so.
I guess it's the whole precious metals hedge against inflation.
World's going to hell.
I'm gonna have to scramble off into the woods and fin for myself.
Apocalypse mad Max thing.
I guess I'm right, And people aren't entirely sure how to go about it. But if it's at their local Costco, they know we got the same place they get two enormous bottles of ketchup.
Yeah, you go up into the woods of your gold bars. I'm probably gonna take giant, giant pies and we'll see how we each do. I got the pies at Costco are huge? Why what situation are you?
Right?
Focus? Focus? This is not pie talk? Right?
We got so many texts about milk jacks and also check I might order that this way, thirty milkshakes and also some chicken. We got a lot of texts, of course, about the new book, about our kids today and staring at screens and social media and rewinding the brain and.
The anxious generation. Jonathan Hyde, right, So.
Is the hope that everybody's on board with recognizing this now? I feel like everybody was, But I guess everybody wasn't.
Everybody is obviously a term that well, everybody's not in on anything, But lots and lots of people, like Peggy Newton said, we all knew it, but we didn't have the confidence to say therefore we must blank.
And a lot of people think that. There are a number of different things.
Actually, again to his credit, Height gets into solutions, including and a lot.
Of it's not going to be legal.
Don't look to the government to solve all of this. It's going to be everybody understands. Like smoking, like drinking, it's absolutely something a fourteen year old should not be doing under any circumstances, and any parent who permits it, that's a perverse working toward that set of beliefs. One thing I left out of the previous screen was that all of these statistics about anxiety and depression and suicide and lack of friends loneliess happened simultaneously and virtually all of the industrialized countries where the rise of smartphones and social media occurred concurrently.
It's a hell of a lot more than correlation.
So anyway, as you brought up the other day, and we've got this weird the flip side of it being that we don't let kids play on playground equipment anymore. They don't allow recess if it rained because the grass is slippery.
We've got all that stuff going on while they're.
Doing the most dangerous thing for them in their brain and gonna make them miserable all day, every day, and everybody's fine with that.
Yeah, We're much more concerned with physical safety, including crime when it's down and they're at very very little risk. And then we pretend like the internet social media are just fine when they're enormously dangerous.
To be so much better off having your kid on the monkey bars than on his smartphone, I mean it's not even close, right, more on solutions to come.
Armstrong and getty.
So this is something Axios is reporting this.
They write it in a way that makes me insane, But good on them for being honest about the results. Exclusive poll Latino support for the border wall and deportation jumps.
Interesting.
Yes, the percentage of Latinos who say they support building a border wall and deporting all undocumented immigrants has jumped by ten points since twenty twenty one, according to the Ladios Axios Ipsos Latino Pole.
Then they couch this in ways that I don't agree with.
The finding suggests that former President Trump's anti immigrant rhetoric are registering even among people who may have ties to immigration.
Holy Cows, idiotic is that?
Is it anti immigrant rhetoric or anti illegal immigrant rhetoric? There's a huge difference, and like eighty five percent of the country is on board with the anti illegal immigrant rhetoric.
That is a non astonishing level of idiotic.
It goes on to say before it gives you the numbers, which works against their own phrasing. The poll arrives as Trump's racist criticisms of immigrants are raising concerns about violence during.
The twenty twenty four campaign. Great Scott, what is this? This is from Axios talking about their own poor So their own poll.
Results show that even Latinos have moved ten points further toward what they're calling racis dangerous comments an anti immigrant bias. So they're phrasing doesn't fit with their own numbers, which I find hilarious.
But what a beautiful illustration of how deluded people will become to protect their preconceptions.
I mean, all of the data explodes their premise. I mean it explodes it.
And yet they cling to it and an event increasingly bizarre explanations for why the facts don't fit their They're pretty sore in the modern world.
Most of the readers of Axios lean left, and they got to throw that stuff in there to make their readers happy and stick.
Around and remind them we're on your side. Remember, we're on your side.
Even though these numbers show that Trump might be closer right than wrong, we're on your side.
I think that might be what it is.
But so Trump, with his his Svengali hypnotic powers, has convinced Hispanic people, who he secretly hates or openly hates.
I guess, according to Axios, is somehow convinced them to be on his side. That's how even it is.
It's still not majorities, but these are some pretty big numbers. Forty two percent of Latino adults say they support building a wall or fence the entire US Mexican border, a wall across the entire border. That's a twelve point jump since December twenty one.
When you take into.
A count the near unanimity of the mainstream media and the like Univision and whatever these people happen to watch, the fact that forty two percent of them are like, build a damn wall whole border of Latino.
It's right.
The contest is one of Latinos, forty two percent say, build a wall the entire border, and we all all as taxpayers, paid for lots and lots of wall and all the construction material that goes with that, and it's just laying in the desert getting ruined by the sun because Joe Biden won't allow one foot of wall to be built, even though forty two percent of Hispanics won't built the entire length of the border. The other numbers, thirty eight percent support sending all undocumented immigrants in the NS back to their country of origin.
That's up ten points since twenty one.
Wow, again among Latino voters. Yes, among Lazzino voters, great Scott and in addition sixty four percent. Now you get into a majority.
Two thirds of Latinos said they support giving the president the authority to shut the US borders if there are too many immigrants trying to enter the country.
It was the first time the survey asked this question.
So two thirds of Latinos say, if there's too many people coming across, which now would be the case.
Yeah, the president needs to have the power to shut the border down.
He has it. It's absolutely there in the law. He has it, he just hasn't exercised it. Boy, Just a quick aside to the folks, how different are these facts from the perception you would get from the mainstream media of what Americans think, including you know, Hispanic, Latino Americans, whatever you want.
To get it.
Axios in their own story had to throw in his race. He's just rhetoric and anti immigrant bias, all right, And you do realize that the polling shows he's winning among Hispanics.
Now, so see, these things don't fit together.
Yeah, you got to explain those two things in your own story, same sentence.
By the way, immigration is the third highest concern among Latinos in this election year. So overall, for the public it's number one, but for Latinos it's even number three.
Yeah, Yeah, it's Trump is such a wild card.
He worries the hell out of me.
Anybody who's listening to this show for a while knows I have high degrees of ambivalence about Trump. On the other hand, Biden has to go. Biden and the Democrats must go between the open border and the inflation and the perverse sick stuff being talked to our kids in schools and universities. They've got to the whole DEI thing. They've got to go, and increasingly that's what everybody's not everybody. A lot of people are saying, black men, have you heard about this pole? Different pole? This is in the Wall Street Journal poll of seven Swing states. Most black men are still with Biden, but it's gone from just single digits to now thirty percent of black men in the Swing States say I'm voting for Trump. Fifty seven percent still with Biden, but thirty is huge growth from I mean even twenty twenty. It was twelve Before that, it was smaller than that. But yeah, in the last four years, support among black men has grown by eighteen percent.
It's more, it's almost tripled.
Black women are still leaning more heavily Democrat, but they are wobbly in starting to look at alternate.
Candidates, your third party candidates. We have no idea what the parties are going to end up being. Here in a couple of years. They're realigning, as everybody knows, and we've got like this weird like everything is on hold because we get the same two candidates running again. But once this is over, Biden and Trump can't run again. It has to be two brand new people. There could be a major realignment that all of a sudden pops up in front of our faces, and it's just a different world politically.
I think that's much more likely than not. Yeah, absolutely right. Oh, speaking of poll results, this is just a lovely poll. Recent poll by Pew Research shows that nearly half of Muslims in the US and the UK support Hamas in its war against Israel.
Who did that poll? Pew? Ooh, one of the super heavyweights.
Nearly half of British Muslims say they sympathize with Hamas, while just one in four believe that the Palestinian islamis TERI terror group had committed murder and rape during the October seventh attacks on Israel. According to Pew, so more than double sympathize than say, than even admit. I mean, because you could conceivably say, look, Hamas are brave freedom fighters and their right to do it in Israel's a colonial occupier, blah blah blah, that bull crap. But okay, some guys went too far. It happens in war it's ugly, but it happened. Nonetheless, Hamas is in the right, But those people won't even admit that it might have happened.
Yeah, we had that one quarter number the other day, and I forget who was a Douglas Murray, who's a brit was commenting on it and said, this is not an Israel problem, this is an US problem talking about London. In that one quarter, you know, people don't even admit.
That it had happened. But half of Muslims are support Amas.
Forty nine percent of US Muslims believe that Hamas's reasons for fighting were quote valid, only twenty two percent that Hamas said Hamas's reasons for fighting were not valid. Keeping in mind Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since six free elections elected Hamas.
Then they canceled the rest of the.
Elections, but they continue to enjoy a great deal of support well.
And also keeping in mind, Hamas as an organization exists for one reason. It only exists for a single reason, and that is to kill all the Jews on Earth. That's what brought them together, that's what gets them out of bed in the morning, and more directly, to wipe Israel off the map.
Yeah yeah.
On Tuesday, the White House condemned chance of death to America and death to Israel chanted by Muslims during an anti Israel demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan for the Al Coulds Day, an Iranian backed anti Israel observance that was started by the Ayatola Homeni, who was actually named checked.
We have breaking news.
This is giant, breaking news, breaking news, donkey, breaking news, Donkey.
You're marry.
Nobody's paying an attention. Breaking news, donkey, we have a celebrity death. Oh, for goodness sakes a rental. James Simpson has died. Ho Jay Simpson dam has passed at the age of seventy six. He never he never found the real killers. Kind of makes me hope there is a hell he didn't live long enough to find the real killers. That's uh, that's dryly hilarious, and I salute you for it. I can't actually laugh, but uh again, rotten hell scum.
What did he die of? Did somebody cut his head off? Or was it natural causes? Doesn't mean if there's karma?
Yeah no, I don't know.
Boy, everything's changed now, Jack plow you that's I thought I thought the president had plotted, or.
Thought the president had plotted, or something significant was happening.
You abused the donkey what you took our trust in and and urinated on it.
I do that. I do not agree. I think O. J.
Simpson dying the big one. Let me switch to cable news channels. They're going going to change anybody's life in any way.
That's true.
Simpson dead, that's true. But you talk about a major cultural touchstone. Oh my god, yeah, I mean of moments in my life.
Yes, Katie Green, Yes, well, I know this is urgent information.
He apparently was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February and has been undergoing treatment and lost his battle.
Their words, not mine.
Well, okay, you talk about a cultural touchstone of moments in my life that stand out, like in the Top ten, being in that giant sports bar where we were in Charlotte, North Carolina as radio hosts when the verdict came in. I mean I can still picture the room.
Oh yeah, yeah, and the shock silence in the shock silence.
That's right.
But anyway you are, you are correct, that's not going to change anybody's life. Well, the real killers away again with that E. L. I p D framed the guy who did it. That's that's the summary of the OJ story. I imagine there'll be statements from Nicole Brown and uh, his dad still alive, Lisa Brown.
I think Fred Goldman still around. I don't know, yes, Michael. It will be interesting to see how stations like ESPN cover this. Will they focus on his sports achievements or will they no no or his murders.
He's ahead finished the sentence, he got away with.
He's been persona angrada in the sports world forever. They never show highlights, even when he was one of the most exciting to watch running backs in history.
You don't see highlights of OJ. Yeah he did.
He's not Pete Rose. He didn't bet on the Phillies. He hacked two people to death. By the way, there's a new Pete Rose book out. Have you've read about that.
I don't think so. Yeah, it's looked to be pretty good.
But this guy who grew up idolizing Pete Rose and wanted to write a good Pete Rose book spent a lot of time digging into Pete Rose and talking Pete Rose and everything like that, and decided Pete Rose is a scumbag. He's an awful human being through and through. And that's the book he ended up writing.
Tell you what, if I was down one run in the ninth and there were two guys on base, I'd want him in the batter's box. Great, great hitter, unbalanced jerk. Yeah, and next Kareem abdul Jabbar. And if I need, if I needed two yards in the snow, I might hand the ball to O. J.
Simpson.
But I ain't gonna return those glasses they got left at the restaurant.
Oh boy, oh boy, May he rest in anguish.
O J.
Simpson dead at the age of seventy six. I think, yeah, we'll get back to real stuff coming up.
Stay here. It's like he's not really the juice anymore.
We got a text saying, yes, it's not like he's not really the juice anymore.
Juice that's ross from Friends.
In that fabulous mini series about the OJ story, we got a bunch of texts. OJ died of frostbite. The glove didn't fit. Will it be the white Bronco instead of a herse?
Keep them coming, folks, keep them coming. I love it well. And bad things happen to bad people.
It might be like if the rock you know, turned out to murder somebody, I mean OJ for us, for our age group. He was just as lovable and likable and friendly and pitchman for all these different products and on Monday night football and what a fun guy.
Yet to the extent that he was flawed, it was like he's a little goofy and not to be taken seriously. And then he commits horrific acts of murder allegedly, right, and if a single person emails us and says, you know, he was acquitted, I'm going to find out who you are. I'm going to come to your home and I'm going to greet you warmly and explain why it's irrelevant anyway, completely different topic, Oh, Kinna sneeze.
I'm sure we'll see the polling on that again today where people are on the verdict. And I know that has shifted over the years. It used to be all white people thought he was guilty, all black people thought he was innocent, But I know the black people numbers have moved more toward the guilty over the years.
Yeah, yeah, well, you know, and we could reparse the dynamics that made the jury do what they do did at the time, but who has the time? Ah, I don't know how your allergies are everywhere in America, but holy cow anyway, Breitbart reporting Joe Biden is secretly flown dig these numbers now, thirty three thousand migrants. Why are even on the right, Why are we using the term migrants? Somebody explain that to me, illegal immigrants or even let's compromise and say immigrants migrants is a term designed by the left. To me, all right, The extent to which Conservative America allows the left to dictate the words we use it annoys the.
Heck out of me.
So Joe Biden has secretly flown thirty three thousand legal immigrants into New York City and three hundred and twenty six thousand into Ronda Centis, Florida over the last several years. Wow or a view of available federal records shows the Biden administration has secretly fallen flown all those people around. The number of illegals that Biden has flown around the country dwarfs the number that Greg Abbott, for instance, the governor of Texas, sent via bus to deep blue cities, even though it was Abbot who suffered. We all remember this, the barbs of the left wing media for daring to bust for new people to Arthur's vineyards, using them as pawns, like they're not even human beings. Wow, this is This needs to be more known, and.
This has been completely ignored by the media. Of course, what's the point of even following the news?
It gives you a glimpse of some stories. According to a report by TOADD. Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, those are serious people. Biden imported more than eight hundred thousand illegals into the country via program called THECHNV program or the Advanced Travel Authorization Program. These programs send planes directly to foreign airports, load them up with people who have not gone through the normal immigration process, and then fly them directly to US airports, where they are dumped into the American populace. All this has done without any notice or coordination with local government officials.
Gone, what's that cost?
You know, I'm not sure if they get into a dollar figure here, but it's got to be an astonishing amount of money, more than any of us will ever see in our lifetime.
Wow, the amount of attention that.
The reverse god Abbot and desant Is flying these people to Martha's vineyard or Boston or whatever, and the names they were called. Just people practically crying on MSNBC about using these people as political pawns, dehumanizing them.
Well, Biden's doing it. It multiples that for his own political needs.
You know, I tried not to live my life completely cynical and with contempt for all the people I disagree with.
Knock it off.
But yeah, it's getting harder and harder. Morondo Santis, speaking of that fine gentleman, said recently, it's a secret because they're not telling anyone. They don't tell us anytime someone comes in. They don't give us any information. They're not coordinating with the state government at all. If they throw six people on a commercial flight from a foreign country, there's no acknowledgment at all the state and local authorities. That's just a fact. Meanwhile, Eric Adams continues to cry bitter, bitter tears at the biggest city in the country being quote unquote overwhelmed by these quote unquote migrants. So do something about it. Biden has the power to seal the border, but he's not.
What an interesting story
Armstrong and Getty
