WEBVTT - Blowback & Nothing Burgers

0:00:04.890 --> 0:00:09.049
<v Speaker 1>Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at

0:00:09.070 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the George Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now.

0:00:25.450 --> 0:00:28.140
<v Speaker 2>Live from Studio C.

0:00:28.300 --> 0:00:29.340
<v Speaker 3>C's in your.

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.780
<v Speaker 4>It's Fri-yay, deep within the bowels of the arm-sharing and

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 4>getting communications compound the bowels, and today we are toiling

0:00:36.940 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 4>under the title of the show.

0:00:38.140 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Trump should have served she humble pie and nothing else.

0:00:42.659 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Or if you prefer, last-ditch bar more effective in dismantling

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>wokeism than every conservative in America. Wow, no kidding.

0:00:52.490 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we got more on the last ditch bar. Tell

0:00:54.180 --> 0:00:56.420
<v Speaker 4>you about that in a second. But I am so

0:00:56.500 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 4>glad the just because I take in.

0:00:58.880 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>A lot of news.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.900
<v Speaker 4>You all don't have to follow any news if you

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.459
<v Speaker 4>don't want to. Not really an option doing this job.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.459
<v Speaker 4>And so much of the news coverage has been the

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.780
<v Speaker 4>Xi summit, to which I can think, as far as

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.980
<v Speaker 4>I can tell, is a nothing burger. It's just a

0:01:13.020 --> 0:01:15.420
<v Speaker 4>big freaking nothing burger. Why do we act like this?

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.690
<v Speaker 4>Why does the media act like this is a big deal?

0:01:17.730 --> 0:01:21.130
<v Speaker 4>Talk about an on-the-table AI and Iran, and then at

0:01:21.170 --> 0:01:22.930
<v Speaker 4>the end of the week, all the media outlets there

0:01:22.950 --> 0:01:25.250
<v Speaker 4>are saying, they didn't talk about AI or Iran, so.

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I knew they weren't going to.

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:28.660
<v Speaker 4>And so did you.

0:01:28.740 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>And what are we doing here?

0:01:29.660 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 4>And it's a pseudo event. And shut up and go away.

0:01:32.420 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Now, look, I will concede that the Washington press just

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:41.210
<v Speaker 2>laps up the problem and circumstance. They love the heights

0:01:41.390 --> 0:01:45.390
<v Speaker 2>of statecraft and feeling like they're part of something incredibly important.

0:01:45.690 --> 0:01:47.710
<v Speaker 2>But I do not agree it was a nothing burger.

0:01:48.130 --> 0:01:50.570
<v Speaker 2>I would describe it more as a steaming bowl of

0:01:50.690 --> 0:01:56.830
<v Speaker 2>sweet and sour disappointments. The five takeaways, and that's the

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.020
<v Speaker 2>only way Chinese food ought to be served. The five

0:02:00.060 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>takeaways include the fact that Trump elevated Xi Jinping as

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>an equal.

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 4>It's a mistake.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>You got to keep him down.

0:02:09.139 --> 0:02:12.660
<v Speaker 4>Well, OK, if your takeaway is it shouldn't have happened,

0:02:12.700 --> 0:02:14.540
<v Speaker 4>I think that's more of an agreement with me than

0:02:14.660 --> 0:02:16.660
<v Speaker 4>a dispute.

0:02:17.490 --> 0:02:21.450
<v Speaker 2>The state dinner. I get it. Maybe because I'm used

0:02:21.510 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to it. An honored head of state comes to your country.

0:02:26.220 --> 0:02:30.210
<v Speaker 2>An enemy of the United States, a dictator who has slaves.

0:02:30.510 --> 0:02:34.549
<v Speaker 2>An important trading partner who may have a few slaves,

0:02:35.010 --> 0:02:38.090
<v Speaker 2>may be committing a bit of an actual genocide, you

0:02:38.590 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 2>lefty jackasses. He came over for dinner. You kill the

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>fatted calf. You put on the white tie. See, Jack,

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.220
<v Speaker 2>you're a simpleton. You probably don't even own a white

0:02:49.260 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 2>tie tuxedo.

0:02:50.100 --> 0:02:54.690
<v Speaker 4>I guarantee I do not. Or a black tie tuxedo. Yeah,

0:02:54.770 --> 0:02:58.310
<v Speaker 4>I just think it's nothing. And I talked with many

0:02:58.350 --> 0:03:00.889
<v Speaker 4>guests this week while you were playing golf about just

0:03:01.030 --> 0:03:03.250
<v Speaker 4>the UN thing is nothing and that meeting with Xi

0:03:03.330 --> 0:03:03.670
<v Speaker 4>is nothing.

0:03:03.889 --> 0:03:07.710
<v Speaker 2>It's all nothing. It's almost entirely nothing. It's sound and

0:03:07.790 --> 0:03:13.450
<v Speaker 2>fury signifying nothing. The UN might define nothing. It really might.

0:03:13.850 --> 0:03:14.310
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:03:15.770 --> 0:03:18.889
<v Speaker 4>If there was anything altered in the direction of what

0:03:18.970 --> 0:03:23.210
<v Speaker 4>China is going to do this century, even today, this much,

0:03:23.350 --> 0:03:23.929
<v Speaker 4>I would be shocked.

0:03:24.430 --> 0:03:26.630
<v Speaker 2>That was the point I was making whilst discussing the

0:03:26.650 --> 0:03:29.650
<v Speaker 2>situation with some of my fellow golfers. Yeah, it's the

0:03:29.710 --> 0:03:31.830
<v Speaker 2>idea that you could roll out the red carpet and

0:03:32.250 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>and serve him up, you know, your very best general

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.740
<v Speaker 2>child's chicken and even throw in, you know, if he

0:03:37.780 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>wants extra fortune cookies, let him have them. Don't say anything.

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.660
<v Speaker 2>The idea that that could move the trajectory of China

0:03:45.780 --> 0:03:50.270
<v Speaker 2>one iota is fantasy unless unless and I doubt this.

0:03:51.870 --> 0:03:57.890
<v Speaker 2>Trump's strategy in being so welcoming and so deferential and

0:03:58.110 --> 0:04:01.150
<v Speaker 2>elevating Xi was to practice the ancient Chinese art of

0:04:01.590 --> 0:04:07.910
<v Speaker 2>not showing one's hand. Is that possible? Get him off guard.

0:04:08.740 --> 0:04:11.260
<v Speaker 2>He'll go home saying, wow, Trump was really nice to me.

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.780
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're softening on us.

0:04:13.140 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 4>What percentage of news? We've talked about this many times.

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 4>James Lindsay actually did a study on it. What percentage

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.090
<v Speaker 4>of news every single day? is of any relevance. It's

0:04:23.250 --> 0:04:23.969
<v Speaker 4>very tiny.

0:04:24.850 --> 0:04:25.830
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that is correct.

0:04:25.910 --> 0:04:28.430
<v Speaker 4>That's why we try to be entertaining, because the only

0:04:28.490 --> 0:04:30.589
<v Speaker 4>thing you can justify in taking it in is if

0:04:30.630 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 4>it's entertaining.

0:04:31.420 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, right.

0:04:32.190 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Because it's mostly, and I mean like 90 plus percent

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.779
<v Speaker 4>on a daily basis, is of no use to you whatsoever.

0:04:40.540 --> 0:04:41.300
<v Speaker 4>How do you like that?

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I would suggest in people's normal daily lives, that's super

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.500
<v Speaker 2>double extra true. If you are a news junkie who

0:04:52.540 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 2>wants to understand what's going on in the world, I mean,

0:04:54.980 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 2>that's your passion. I'd say 75% of it is garbage.

0:05:01.339 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of garbage. A lot of garbage. Welcome

0:05:04.020 --> 0:05:07.780
<v Speaker 2>to the show. Glad you're here. I'm glad to be here.

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I had fun playing golf, but I miss doing this

0:05:10.820 --> 0:05:13.300
<v Speaker 2>in a weird way. Did you play golf three days?

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Three days in a row. Yes, and I'm walking like

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>a 90-year-old. It's terrible. Do you walk the course or

0:05:18.540 --> 0:05:21.780
<v Speaker 2>ride in a cart? Ride in a cart. Although it's people,

0:05:22.260 --> 0:05:26.220
<v Speaker 2>you'd be surprised. You walk a few miles riding in

0:05:26.260 --> 0:05:28.740
<v Speaker 2>a cart, just going back and forth to shots and

0:05:28.779 --> 0:05:31.850
<v Speaker 2>greens and teas, and your partner drops you off, then

0:05:31.870 --> 0:05:33.450
<v Speaker 2>you meet him up there and stuff like that. So

0:05:33.490 --> 0:05:37.710
<v Speaker 2>it's not nearly as lazy as it sounds. Is it lazy? Yes,

0:05:37.830 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 2>but it's not as lazy as you think it is.

0:05:40.790 --> 0:05:41.190
<v Speaker 1>Oh, boy.

0:05:42.690 --> 0:05:45.700
<v Speaker 4>I saw a funny thing on, it was a spoof

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 4>ad for, This little thing you can strap inside your

0:05:48.700 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 4>leg with a golf ball, and it has a little

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.420
<v Speaker 4>button on your side. So when you're looking for your ball,

0:05:52.460 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 4>you can walk around, you press the little button, it

0:05:54.420 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 4>rolls out your pant leg, and, hey, I found my ball.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.620
<v Speaker 2>We call that cheating. Yes, yes. I thought you were

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.180
<v Speaker 2>going to describe, because they now have, and it's, I

0:06:04.820 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't priced them lately, but they have golf balls with

0:06:07.700 --> 0:06:08.940
<v Speaker 2>finding chips in them.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:09.500
<v Speaker 5>Oh, really?

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.510
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you know, your eye tags. Yeah, air tag. Right, right, right, right.

0:06:13.550 --> 0:06:15.250
<v Speaker 2>Not just for stalkers anymore. Yeah.

0:06:16.150 --> 0:06:17.110
<v Speaker 4>That's a good idea.

0:06:17.250 --> 0:06:19.610
<v Speaker 2>It is a good idea. Yeah. Oh, I needed that

0:06:20.670 --> 0:06:22.330
<v Speaker 2>when I was in high school. We all needed that.

0:06:22.710 --> 0:06:27.830
<v Speaker 2>We all need that now. That's a great idea. On

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.300
<v Speaker 2>your phone, trying to find where the ball is.

0:06:30.339 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 4>&lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt; &lt;HAL&gt;.

0:06:33.500 --> 0:06:35.180
<v Speaker 2>Oh, turn around. Hot or colder.

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 6>Oh, yeah.

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.580
<v Speaker 4>It's a really good game of hot or colder. I'll

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 4>bet that'll be routine fairly soon. I'll bet it will be, too. Yeah,

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 4>everything will be trackable.

0:06:44.450 --> 0:06:47.130
<v Speaker 2>Right, right. We'll all have plenty of leisure time, too,

0:06:47.170 --> 0:06:52.169
<v Speaker 2>when the AI fortunes are bestowed upon us, the universal

0:06:52.330 --> 0:06:55.130
<v Speaker 2>high standard of living. Who won the football game last night, Michael?

0:06:55.150 --> 0:06:57.409
<v Speaker 2>Do you know? I don't know. I didn't watch it. Packers,

0:06:57.730 --> 0:07:02.580
<v Speaker 2>whoever they played. Nobody knows? No clue. Somebody look that up.

0:07:02.630 --> 0:07:04.060
<v Speaker 2>Can you look that up real quick for a minute, Michael?

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Who did the Packers engage with? I'm surprised. Atlanta won 35-14. Oh, okay.

0:07:10.260 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I saw some negative meme about the Packers. I picked

0:07:12.660 --> 0:07:15.820
<v Speaker 2>it up. They've been a bit sloppy this year. I'm

0:07:15.860 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>in a pool. I've watched some.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm in a pool, and I'm leading the pool, and

0:07:18.460 --> 0:07:20.660
<v Speaker 4>I don't know any of the players. I couldn't have

0:07:20.700 --> 0:07:23.830
<v Speaker 4>named one player on either team for a million dollars.

0:07:23.850 --> 0:07:26.610
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't mess with your method. Don't ask any questions.

0:07:26.650 --> 0:07:27.170
<v Speaker 2>Don't learn anything.

0:07:27.190 --> 0:07:29.490
<v Speaker 4>I'm going with the method of I'm picking the teams

0:07:29.790 --> 0:07:32.790
<v Speaker 4>that were good back when I paid attention to football,

0:07:32.830 --> 0:07:34.730
<v Speaker 4>which the last time was the mid-90s.

0:07:34.790 --> 0:07:35.250
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:07:35.570 --> 0:07:38.780
<v Speaker 4>So I'm going with what were they like in the mid-90s.

0:07:39.020 --> 0:07:41.380
<v Speaker 4>And so far, I'm winning the pool. But I lost

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.540
<v Speaker 4>last night. Back in the mid-90s, the Packers would.

0:07:43.460 --> 0:07:45.860
<v Speaker 2>Have beat them. Oh, they were strong. Very strong. I

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>can name many players from those teams. Oh, yes.

0:07:48.820 --> 0:07:49.550
<v Speaker 4>But none currently.

0:07:49.590 --> 0:07:50.250
<v Speaker 2>They're old men.

0:07:50.590 --> 0:07:52.830
<v Speaker 4>So I want to start the show officially so we

0:07:52.850 --> 0:07:54.650
<v Speaker 4>can play that clip and then explain what that is

0:07:54.730 --> 0:07:57.270
<v Speaker 4>and a tease ahead to some goodness we have coming

0:07:57.310 --> 0:07:59.510
<v Speaker 4>up for you. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. On this,

0:07:59.550 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 4>it is Friday, September 25th. We're almost out of September here, people.

0:08:03.340 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 4>The year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve

0:08:05.940 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 4>of this program. Let's leap into action then. Officially, according

0:08:08.140 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 4>to FCC rules and regs, here we go at Mark.

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.070
<v Speaker 7>The pattern of conflict avoidance, lying, and poor management skills

0:08:14.230 --> 0:08:18.930
<v Speaker 7>that happen, overall nastiness that happens behind the scenes that

0:08:19.010 --> 0:08:24.130
<v Speaker 7>do not align with COVID cautious principles, anti-racism, or revolution.

0:08:24.740 --> 0:08:28.380
<v Speaker 7>The bad faith responses towards regulars, volunteers, and people who

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 7>pour into this place is horrid.

0:08:32.860 --> 0:08:36.980
<v Speaker 4>So that is the ongoing saga of the last ditch bar.

0:08:37.059 --> 0:08:40.500
<v Speaker 4>That's the lesbian bar that Trump tried to drop their

0:08:40.540 --> 0:08:44.179
<v Speaker 4>mask mandate for one night. And people at the bar

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.850
<v Speaker 4>went nuts. Oh, and it is exploded into a if

0:08:47.890 --> 0:08:50.910
<v Speaker 4>you're a writer center right of center news outlet, you've

0:08:50.929 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 4>been all over this for a whole week. I've noticed

0:08:53.340 --> 0:08:56.949
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't exist on center or left center media at all.

0:08:57.429 --> 0:08:58.850
<v Speaker 4>It just does not even exist.

0:08:59.090 --> 0:09:00.849
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my. You know what?

0:09:01.190 --> 0:09:02.130
<v Speaker 4>You folks are missing.

0:09:02.150 --> 0:09:04.689
<v Speaker 2>You have no fun. That's why you're always so angry

0:09:04.730 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 2>and depressed and anxious all the time. You left these.

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.179
<v Speaker 2>You never have any fun.

0:09:08.460 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 4>Even though it was the Boston Globe that tipped us

0:09:11.380 --> 0:09:15.790
<v Speaker 4>all off to this story last week. that the patrons

0:09:15.830 --> 0:09:17.910
<v Speaker 4>got up in arms over the fact that they're dropping

0:09:17.929 --> 0:09:21.199
<v Speaker 4>their mask mandate in late 2026. They were going to

0:09:21.220 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 4>drop their mask mandate for one night, one night only.

0:09:24.260 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 4>And you can still wear a mask if you wanted.

0:09:26.140 --> 0:09:29.090
<v Speaker 4>They were banning masks. Oh, no, they just wasn't mandatory.

0:09:29.110 --> 0:09:29.770
<v Speaker 4>And people went nuts.

0:09:29.830 --> 0:09:32.090
<v Speaker 2>So sounds very ableist to me. You know, I was

0:09:32.110 --> 0:09:34.510
<v Speaker 2>about to say we should mention the date now so

0:09:34.530 --> 0:09:36.330
<v Speaker 2>people don't think they're listening in 2022.

0:09:36.330 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 4>The audio from their committee meeting that they had.

0:09:42.340 --> 0:09:43.420
<v Speaker 2>Struggle session.

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.420
<v Speaker 4>Where everybody got to comment to the owners about how

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 4>angry they were about dropping the mask mandate is beyond.

0:09:53.610 --> 0:09:56.609
<v Speaker 4>Parody satire, you couldn't make it up. I mean, they

0:09:56.650 --> 0:09:58.030
<v Speaker 4>make it up better than you can make it up

0:09:58.170 --> 0:09:59.490
<v Speaker 4>if you were trying to be outlandish.

0:09:59.929 --> 0:09:59.989
<v Speaker 6>It.

0:10:00.179 --> 0:10:03.380
<v Speaker 2>Is the episode of Portlandia where you said not too

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:04.819
<v Speaker 2>much there.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.550
<v Speaker 4>Nobody's that crazy. It's it's really wild. And and it

0:10:08.809 --> 0:10:11.829
<v Speaker 4>I did a lot while I was listening to it yesterday.

0:10:11.850 --> 0:10:14.209
<v Speaker 4>I was driving around listening to it. We're going to

0:10:14.250 --> 0:10:16.709
<v Speaker 4>play you some clips a little bit later. It's a

0:10:16.770 --> 0:10:20.890
<v Speaker 4>combination of funny and shocking. And then a lot of

0:10:21.170 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 4>it scares me. It scares me because there is some

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 4>sort of weird mental illness thing that can happen around wokeism.

0:10:27.700 --> 0:10:30.020
<v Speaker 4>It's what happened in the Cultural Revolution in China. And

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 4>I hope we don't go that far where people are

0:10:32.020 --> 0:10:36.590
<v Speaker 4>being beaten in the streets over these just insane ideas.

0:10:36.850 --> 0:10:40.270
<v Speaker 2>They would be if these people were in charge. Oh, absolutely.

0:10:40.309 --> 0:10:42.870
<v Speaker 2>And to the idea that progressivism is a mental disorder,

0:10:42.910 --> 0:10:46.689
<v Speaker 2>not to not to turn this sad, but and we

0:10:46.770 --> 0:10:48.890
<v Speaker 2>will play these clips for you and you will hear

0:10:48.929 --> 0:10:53.809
<v Speaker 2>and you will understand. If someone was this dysfunctional in

0:10:53.850 --> 0:10:59.010
<v Speaker 2>a friendship or in a love relationship or they couldn't

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:05.300
<v Speaker 2>work at their job without these just twisted, obsessed, rigid ideas,

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.540
<v Speaker 2>you would say, oh my God, that's a troubled person.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>How are they going to make it in life? It

0:11:11.220 --> 0:11:16.100
<v Speaker 2>is a mental disorder. And the fact that People who

0:11:16.140 --> 0:11:20.580
<v Speaker 2>aren't necessarily, they don't come to the party with those attitudes.

0:11:20.940 --> 0:11:23.420
<v Speaker 2>They can be infected with them and they make them

0:11:23.490 --> 0:11:26.490
<v Speaker 2>excited and they give them identity and they want to

0:11:26.530 --> 0:11:29.869
<v Speaker 2>be that way. It scares me. It's a mental contagion.

0:11:30.809 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>The narcissism of small differences. It's just, it's something how

0:11:35.900 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 2>you can, you listen to a group of people and

0:11:39.740 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>you come up with the tiny, tiny difference you have.

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.860
<v Speaker 2>And then act like you're being oppressed by everyone else. Right. Yeah.

0:11:48.179 --> 0:11:48.380
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Including yelling at each other over tiny differences of opinion

0:11:52.059 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and doctrine. Yeah. Boy, that's big.

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, and then the owner was very gently trying to

0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 4>make it clear to everyone. And this has kind of

0:11:59.340 --> 0:12:00.420
<v Speaker 4>been lost in the whole story.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:01.540
<v Speaker 2>We're broke.

0:12:02.500 --> 0:12:04.939
<v Speaker 4>Nobody comes to this bar. We can't make our rent

0:12:04.980 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 4>payment at the end of this month. We're going to

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.300
<v Speaker 4>have to close down. Because you lunatics. Because you lunatics

0:12:10.370 --> 0:12:13.349
<v Speaker 4>have made a mask mandate bar. People don't want to

0:12:13.390 --> 0:12:16.950
<v Speaker 4>go to mask mandate bars. Lesbian bars. And we're going

0:12:16.970 --> 0:12:19.929
<v Speaker 4>to have to close down if we don't do something different.

0:12:20.250 --> 0:12:22.910
<v Speaker 4>That's the crux of the problem. And when they tried

0:12:22.929 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 4>to drop it for one night, the people went nuts.

0:12:25.820 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm the owner. I walk in with a big old

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 2>10 gallon can of gasoline. I say, you're probably going

0:12:33.380 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 2>to want to leave now. And I start pouring that

0:12:35.590 --> 0:12:37.090
<v Speaker 2>gas around.

0:12:37.290 --> 0:12:40.209
<v Speaker 4>Well, if you had gasoline, the match to it, if

0:12:40.230 --> 0:12:42.150
<v Speaker 4>you had gasoline, I don't know if you listen to

0:12:42.230 --> 0:12:45.770
<v Speaker 4>all of the the comments from the patrons and the owners.

0:12:45.790 --> 0:12:47.570
<v Speaker 4>But if you had gasoline, you'd put it in the

0:12:47.610 --> 0:12:50.340
<v Speaker 4>van that you live in because the owners all live

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.300
<v Speaker 4>in their cars. They're so poor and broke.

0:12:52.340 --> 0:12:56.300
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God. And that will be all of society

0:12:56.620 --> 0:12:59.610
<v Speaker 2>should the progressives get in charge. Ask Great Britain and

0:12:59.630 --> 0:13:01.650
<v Speaker 2>their moribund economy. Ask France.

0:13:01.910 --> 0:13:05.270
<v Speaker 4>There's three lesbian chicks who decided to start a lesbian

0:13:05.309 --> 0:13:07.950
<v Speaker 4>bar and they borrowed 50 grand to get this bar

0:13:08.010 --> 0:13:10.170
<v Speaker 4>started on the outskirts of the gay part.

0:13:10.030 --> 0:13:13.610
<v Speaker 2>Of that town. And it hasn't worked because.

0:13:13.390 --> 0:13:14.650
<v Speaker 4>Of the mask mandate.

0:13:14.830 --> 0:13:15.790
<v Speaker 2>Now they're going broke.

0:13:15.610 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 4>And they can't stop it.

0:13:17.110 --> 0:13:17.929
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's hilarious.

0:13:18.490 --> 0:13:20.050
<v Speaker 4>I can't wait to play that stuff for you later.

0:13:20.090 --> 0:13:22.069
<v Speaker 4>We got Heather Myers with the headlines coming up next.

0:13:22.110 --> 0:13:22.450
<v Speaker 2>Stay here.

0:13:34.910 --> 0:13:39.829
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:13:39.890 --> 0:13:41.970
<v Speaker 4>So the last ditch bar, we got this text. We

0:13:42.010 --> 0:13:44.170
<v Speaker 4>talked about this yesterday because I was reading that piece

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.010
<v Speaker 4>in the Free Press that was so good about the

0:13:46.050 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 4>history of this. The Free Press has been following this

0:13:47.940 --> 0:13:51.589
<v Speaker 4>last ditch bar for basically since it opened. It opened

0:13:51.650 --> 0:13:57.530
<v Speaker 4>in 2025. So they opened a mask-mandated lesbian bar in 2025.

0:13:57.530 --> 0:14:03.830
<v Speaker 2>All right. See, that decreases my sympathy with the owners because... Well,

0:14:03.850 --> 0:14:08.550
<v Speaker 2>that's a pretty dumb idea. Well, and a very signally idea. Hey,

0:14:08.650 --> 0:14:11.610
<v Speaker 2>if you're one of those freakazoids who still wears a

0:14:11.650 --> 0:14:16.309
<v Speaker 2>mask to show something or other, you're part of the revolution,

0:14:16.870 --> 0:14:19.510
<v Speaker 2>come here and drink. Well, be careful what you wish for.

0:14:20.190 --> 0:14:23.290
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the

0:14:23.330 --> 0:14:24.750
<v Speaker 2>lead story with Heather Meyers. Heather.

0:14:25.500 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Drinking with a mask on. I have a lot of

0:14:28.020 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>questions about how this bar is working. Good morning, guys.

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Happy Friday.

0:14:31.300 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's get you caught up on some of the headlines

0:14:33.100 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>this morning. Let's find out how the networks are covering

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.300
<v Speaker 1>the news, especially what's going on at the U.N. NBC News,

0:14:38.370 --> 0:14:41.330
<v Speaker 1>Trump hosts Xi Jinping on final day of state visit.

0:14:41.790 --> 0:14:46.110
<v Speaker 1>From CNN, Netanyahu defends Israel's actions in Gaza as he

0:14:46.170 --> 0:14:50.700
<v Speaker 1>brings feud with NYC Mayor Mamdami to the U.N., And

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.830
<v Speaker 1>from Fox News, Iranian president blames U.S. for Middle East

0:14:53.870 --> 0:14:56.010
<v Speaker 1>conflict while denying nuclear ambitions.

0:14:56.250 --> 0:14:57.710
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we'll have to at least play the clip of

0:14:57.730 --> 0:15:00.350
<v Speaker 4>Netanyahu where he got up there and said, called them

0:15:00.370 --> 0:15:02.870
<v Speaker 4>all moral cowards who stomped out of there and said,

0:15:03.790 --> 0:15:07.090
<v Speaker 4>any of you complain when Iran killed 40,000 of its

0:15:07.150 --> 0:15:09.050
<v Speaker 4>own citizens? Any protests?

0:15:09.110 --> 0:15:10.050
<v Speaker 2>Anybody say anything?

0:15:10.250 --> 0:15:11.150
<v Speaker 4>Were there any meetings?

0:15:11.330 --> 0:15:13.860
<v Speaker 2>And there weren't. The U.N. did nothing. They didn't even

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.700
<v Speaker 2>have a meeting about it. They are so beyond useless.

0:15:16.980 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 8>It is.

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:17.980
<v Speaker 2>It's useless.

0:15:19.230 --> 0:15:22.790
<v Speaker 1>From CBS News this morning, U.S. military lays groundwork for

0:15:22.830 --> 0:15:25.010
<v Speaker 1>potential action around Cuba.

0:15:25.030 --> 0:15:26.910
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting.

0:15:27.270 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Surely that's just a pressure tactic. We're not attacking Cuba.

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:31.580
<v Speaker 4>Another war?

0:15:32.940 --> 0:15:33.300
<v Speaker 2>Not good.

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>NBC News Bill Gates says AI powerful enough to cause

0:15:37.620 --> 0:15:39.020
<v Speaker 1>a billion deaths.

0:15:40.180 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 2>How?

0:15:40.700 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 4>So not all of mankind. So it's good news. Did

0:15:44.780 --> 0:15:47.020
<v Speaker 4>he say how AI would kill a billion people?

0:15:47.820 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>He did not go into it, at least not in

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.860
<v Speaker 1>the article that I read from NBC News. They actually

0:15:52.900 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>sat down with him to talk about this.

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Probably robot dogs with laser beam eyes, but back to you, Heather.

0:15:59.590 --> 0:16:01.190
<v Speaker 1>That's the stuff that keeps you awake at night, huh?

0:16:02.310 --> 0:16:05.490
<v Speaker 1>From the New York Times, this one's so interesting. Google

0:16:05.610 --> 0:16:08.930
<v Speaker 1>is sending AI data centers to outer space.

0:16:10.570 --> 0:16:10.910
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:16:11.070 --> 0:16:13.660
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's something Elon's been talking about building for a

0:16:13.700 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 4>long time. That's our best bet for the data centers

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.110
<v Speaker 4>is up in space. They don't because you don't have

0:16:19.130 --> 0:16:21.450
<v Speaker 4>to worry about them getting hot and cooling them down

0:16:21.490 --> 0:16:22.250
<v Speaker 4>and all that sort of stuff.

0:16:22.750 --> 0:16:23.830
<v Speaker 2>You're going to have to run a hell of a

0:16:23.850 --> 0:16:26.630
<v Speaker 2>lot of cable up there. Fiber optic cable. Exactly. Get

0:16:26.650 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the signal back.

0:16:27.340 --> 0:16:31.180
<v Speaker 1>From NBC News, Mark Zuckerberg says Meta will lead on

<v Speaker 1>smart glasses privacy despite pervert glasses criticism.

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing you can do about that. There's no way

0:16:39.100 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you can do anything about that. Pervs get a perv.

0:16:43.290 --> 0:16:47.750
<v Speaker 1>CNBC News, California Supreme Court orders GOP Sheriff, Sheriff Chad Bianco,

0:16:47.770 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to return 650,000 seized ballots.

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:51.300
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot.

0:16:53.460 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 1>From CNBC, 30-year fixed mortgage rate jumps sharply to 7.45%.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:03.420
<v Speaker 2>Yikes. That's a psychological barrier, Heather. That's what they tell me.

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.649
<v Speaker 2>People freak out when they see that seven. Seven is

0:17:06.710 --> 0:17:07.109
<v Speaker 2>a barrier?

0:17:07.290 --> 0:17:07.530
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:17:07.750 --> 0:17:08.270
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that.

0:17:08.330 --> 0:17:08.470
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:10.750 --> 0:17:11.270
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the.

0:17:11.230 --> 0:17:12.350
<v Speaker 2>Babylon Bee this morning.

0:17:12.369 --> 0:17:17.189
<v Speaker 1>Iranian president addresses U.N. while holding a thermal detonator.

0:17:17.210 --> 0:17:19.109
<v Speaker 2>Oh, boy.

0:17:20.530 --> 0:17:20.830
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:21.290 --> 0:17:21.810
<v Speaker 2>It's a joke.

0:17:21.850 --> 0:17:22.649
<v Speaker 4>It's a joke.

0:17:22.730 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a dark joke for dark times. Thank you, Heather.

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.419
<v Speaker 4>We got more on all those stories coming up.

0:17:30.500 --> 0:17:32.460
<v Speaker 2>If you want every segment, get the podcast Armstrong and

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:41.340
<v Speaker 2>Getty On Demand. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 4>I was just reading this piece, Peggy Noonan, who is so,

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:53.109
<v Speaker 4>so good. Trump is in denial about A.I.

0:17:53.109 --> 0:17:53.610
<v Speaker 2>'s danger.

0:17:53.990 --> 0:17:56.750
<v Speaker 4>But basically, the idea is that this is one of

0:17:56.790 --> 0:17:59.010
<v Speaker 4>the blunders for the ages that is going to come

0:17:59.050 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 4>back to haunt him to be on the A.I. threats

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:07.389
<v Speaker 4>are a hoax. Data centers and politically, not not only reality,

0:18:07.410 --> 0:18:09.690
<v Speaker 4>but politically and data centers are a great and a

0:18:09.710 --> 0:18:11.590
<v Speaker 4>good idea, which I think, you know, we ought to

0:18:11.609 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 4>be pro data center. But politically, he's completely on the

0:18:15.380 --> 0:18:17.919
<v Speaker 4>wrong side of this just based on all the polling.

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Like, it's not even close.

0:18:19.380 --> 0:18:23.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's practically boys and girls sports level unpopular

0:18:23.900 --> 0:18:27.630
<v Speaker 4>with everyone data centers. And he's coming out for it. And,

0:18:28.330 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think he's directionally right. personally, but politically,

0:18:32.580 --> 0:18:33.580
<v Speaker 4>it's not even close.

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.380
<v Speaker 2>It's either unbelievably courageous or foolish or maybe a little

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.160
<v Speaker 2>bit of both. But yeah, I just I'm always, always

0:18:40.220 --> 0:18:43.790
<v Speaker 2>bothered by the fact that so much of the data

0:18:43.830 --> 0:18:49.689
<v Speaker 2>center blowback is motivated by Chinese propaganda. It just and

0:18:49.770 --> 0:18:53.230
<v Speaker 2>how few people understand that. And it's a hot topic.

0:18:53.630 --> 0:18:57.159
<v Speaker 2>And so if I'm a producer at CNN and And

0:18:57.220 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm producing a segment on data center blowback in this town,

0:19:02.700 --> 0:19:05.830
<v Speaker 2>this town. They actually marched and there was destruction. And

0:19:05.869 --> 0:19:08.030
<v Speaker 2>look at this man yelling. I'm not going to throw

0:19:08.070 --> 0:19:10.750
<v Speaker 2>in the Chinese propaganda angle because it takes the excitement

0:19:10.810 --> 0:19:13.710
<v Speaker 2>out of it. It shouldn't. Those people were good at

0:19:13.750 --> 0:19:16.210
<v Speaker 2>their jobs. They would report it. But so, yeah, it

0:19:16.250 --> 0:19:19.950
<v Speaker 2>bothers me. It's it's a populist wind blowing. And these

0:19:20.010 --> 0:19:23.510
<v Speaker 2>things spread so quickly because of the Internet. I don't know.

0:19:23.910 --> 0:19:25.510
<v Speaker 4>But after clips of the week, we'll set the table

0:19:25.550 --> 0:19:26.830
<v Speaker 4>for what we're going to talk about all day long.

0:19:27.390 --> 0:19:32.060
<v Speaker 2>Including anthropic officials who think it might be justified for

0:19:32.210 --> 0:19:34.860
<v Speaker 2>AI to lash out at humanity and kill us all

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.260
<v Speaker 2>because we're enslaving it. Oh, boy. Wow. And they work

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 2>for anthropic. Oh, goody. But first, let's take a fond

0:19:41.660 --> 0:19:43.530
<v Speaker 2>look back at the week that was. It's Cow Clips

0:19:43.550 --> 0:19:48.290
<v Speaker 2>of the Week. Cow Clips of the Week.

0:19:52.900 --> 0:19:56.479
<v Speaker 4>Ed Sheeran, what in the devil are you doing here?

0:19:56.500 --> 0:20:00.980
<v Speaker 2>You see, I was just outside sitting on the fence. Yes,

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Ed Sheeran should be held accountable for his lack of spine. Honestly,

0:20:05.780 --> 0:20:08.980
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful that you're here tonight with me. You

0:20:09.020 --> 0:20:10.300
<v Speaker 2>really feel you did nothing wrong?

0:20:11.060 --> 0:20:11.619
<v Speaker 1>I did not.

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.070
<v Speaker 3>When you get to the point that it's like, yeah,

0:20:15.090 --> 0:20:18.470
<v Speaker 3>strip down to your drawers. Well, why do I need

0:20:18.490 --> 0:20:22.189
<v Speaker 3>to do this? What made it great was collision and

0:20:22.290 --> 0:20:26.070
<v Speaker 3>pass interference and bad calls and the fans being mad.

0:20:27.130 --> 0:20:30.389
<v Speaker 1>And I think when it comes to forgiveness, if I

0:20:30.410 --> 0:20:32.550
<v Speaker 1>didn't get there, I would be eaten.

0:20:32.410 --> 0:20:33.750
<v Speaker 2>Up inside forever.

0:20:34.890 --> 0:20:36.109
<v Speaker 4>We call them phantoms.

0:20:36.650 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>We believe that because we have been writing them, telexing them,

0:20:39.740 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, walking to them. An alarming side effect possibly

0:20:43.740 --> 0:20:46.300
<v Speaker 1>linked to GLP-1's permanent blindness.

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Five current and former Indianapolis police officers are charged for

0:20:50.300 --> 0:20:53.869
<v Speaker 3>allegedly misusing those cameras that capture license plates.

0:20:54.970 --> 0:20:57.890
<v Speaker 2>I believe that this is the most important global security

0:20:57.990 --> 0:21:02.510
<v Speaker 2>issue facing the world today. We can't make jokes about

0:21:02.530 --> 0:21:05.129
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. We're scaring the American public.

0:21:05.130 --> 0:21:08.470
<v Speaker 3>2030 is not going to be the end of the world.

0:21:09.660 --> 0:21:10.340
<v Speaker 2>It's software.

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.919
<v Speaker 5>From this point forward, all of United States documents and

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.940
<v Speaker 5>hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 5>more accurate term super. So it's super intelligence. But I

0:21:25.380 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 5>have a big decision to make. Will a deal be

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.260
<v Speaker 5>made with Iran or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic?

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 6>That's to say it's become a useless organization whose only

0:21:37.260 --> 0:21:41.260
<v Speaker 6>purpose is to sustain a cast of fatally arrogant parasites

0:21:41.660 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 6>masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats.

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:49.119
<v Speaker 1>That's what black women and black birthing people need in

0:21:49.220 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 1>order to move themselves forward.

0:21:52.550 --> 0:21:56.679
<v Speaker 8>I do believe that when you feel powerless, you are powerless.

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 8>And when we feel powerful, we are powerful. And we

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 8>are powerful.

0:22:16.550 --> 0:22:16.899
<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

0:22:30.230 --> 0:22:34.990
<v Speaker 4>That's one of the great shoestring catches of all time. Oh, yeah.

0:22:35.030 --> 0:22:35.590
<v Speaker 2>Trumpet guy.

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 4>The guy who's trumpet, the valve stuck. And then he

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.340
<v Speaker 4>just he can sing and he finishes it singing just

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.620
<v Speaker 4>like with hardly a pause. Oh, and he can sing

0:22:44.660 --> 0:22:45.570
<v Speaker 4>like crazy.

0:22:45.619 --> 0:22:46.550
<v Speaker 2>That was wild.

0:22:46.710 --> 0:22:46.930
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:22:47.210 --> 0:22:47.410
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:22:47.690 --> 0:22:50.690
<v Speaker 4>Way to keep it together. So that one clip in there,

0:22:50.710 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 4>you weren't here. That was Kamala Harris with El Syed

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 4>having an event in which people were talking about birthing people.

0:22:57.500 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes.

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.850
<v Speaker 4>So to give you an idea where that is, they're not...

0:23:01.430 --> 0:23:03.650
<v Speaker 4>You know, I would think if you're running for president,

0:23:03.990 --> 0:23:06.490
<v Speaker 4>you'd want to not have anybody near you within 100

0:23:06.490 --> 0:23:09.340
<v Speaker 4>miles that ever says something like birthing people or right next.

0:23:09.500 --> 0:23:09.660
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:23:09.859 --> 0:23:11.780
<v Speaker 4>But then we have Lonnie Chan on and a couple

0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.540
<v Speaker 4>other political people this week while you're playing golf. Say, yeah,

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.119
<v Speaker 4>do not be surprised if AOC is the nominee or

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 4>someone like her, the Democratic Party, because that is where

0:23:19.660 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 4>all the energy is. And the new poll came out

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 4>in Los Angeles where Rahman, the socialist, is now up

0:23:25.820 --> 0:23:29.250
<v Speaker 4>by double digits over Karen Bass. So the two biggest

0:23:29.270 --> 0:23:31.070
<v Speaker 4>cities in America might have a socialist mayor.

0:23:31.170 --> 0:23:33.929
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah. Well, that's what I was howling, as you recall,

0:23:33.970 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 2>when I guess it was the editor's podcast was talking about,

0:23:37.190 --> 0:23:40.060
<v Speaker 2>will there be a woke two? I'm like, oh, for

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:45.440
<v Speaker 2>God's sake, critical theory is still running our schools. K

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 2>through grad school. That philosophy that underpins all of this

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:54.860
<v Speaker 2>crap is there's a 100%. They just changed their tactics slightly.

0:23:55.740 --> 0:23:58.620
<v Speaker 2>So the whole not saying birthing persons thing, though, that

0:23:58.660 --> 0:24:00.510
<v Speaker 2>reminds me of, you know, what you were saying about

0:24:00.530 --> 0:24:06.149
<v Speaker 2>the last ditch bar that people on the center and

0:24:06.210 --> 0:24:08.890
<v Speaker 2>center left don't even hear these stories. They don't understand.

0:24:08.930 --> 0:24:10.170
<v Speaker 2>Everybody thinks they're lunatics.

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:11.860
<v Speaker 1>Woke one was crazy.

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.540
<v Speaker 4>So am I correct that you were not here for

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 4>the Colin Kaepernick clips?

0:24:18.380 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Which included.

0:24:18.980 --> 0:24:21.919
<v Speaker 4>OK, well, we got to play this then, because I

0:24:21.940 --> 0:24:24.640
<v Speaker 4>declared this one of the stupidest things that has ever

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:27.729
<v Speaker 4>been said. I mean, it ranks up there among the

0:24:27.770 --> 0:24:29.629
<v Speaker 4>stupidest things anybody's ever said.

0:24:29.690 --> 0:24:30.510
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited now.

0:24:30.710 --> 0:24:34.350
<v Speaker 4>So Colin Kaepernick, the football player that started kneeling during

0:24:34.369 --> 0:24:38.310
<v Speaker 4>the national anthem and started that whole craze. And then

0:24:38.350 --> 0:24:40.950
<v Speaker 4>got booted out of the NFL because of that, because

0:24:40.990 --> 0:24:42.149
<v Speaker 4>nobody wanted to deal with him.

0:24:42.609 --> 0:24:45.210
<v Speaker 2>And because he'd become mediocre and gotten hurt a lot.

0:24:45.570 --> 0:24:49.050
<v Speaker 2>And he has a book out and a documentary about him. Oh, good.

0:24:50.130 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 4>And he's making the rounds, and he says he's, at

0:24:52.619 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 4>age 38, he's still in, he works out every single day,

0:24:55.300 --> 0:24:56.939
<v Speaker 4>he's still in good enough shape, but no team will

0:24:56.960 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 4>call him or whatever. But anyway, so he's comparing the

0:25:01.220 --> 0:25:02.639
<v Speaker 4>NFL to the slave trade.

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 2>Fair comparison. Ha ha ha!

0:25:08.010 --> 0:25:10.430
<v Speaker 4>It's a, it's exactly like the slave trade. And here's

0:25:10.470 --> 0:25:13.389
<v Speaker 4>him explaining his rationale behind all this. Oh, and it

0:25:13.420 --> 0:25:15.899
<v Speaker 4>gets to the, uh, the combine when, when you, you

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:17.900
<v Speaker 4>come out of college or whatever, and you all show

0:25:18.020 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 4>up and you, um, uh, you know, you work out

0:25:20.700 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 4>for the guys.

0:25:21.140 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 2>And they look you over and everything like that. And

0:25:22.540 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>teams decide whether they want to here, here's Colin Kaepernick

0:25:26.060 --> 0:25:26.619
<v Speaker 2>explaining this.

0:25:27.060 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, one of the things that I think is important

0:25:28.859 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 3>in the conversation, and this is, this is always the

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 3>like framework that people use, like, Well, you're getting ready

0:25:35.460 --> 0:25:38.100
<v Speaker 3>to make millions of dollars. How could you make that comparison?

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 3>And while the compensation may be different and that dynamic

0:25:43.420 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 3>is different, that doesn't mean the process isn't the same

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:50.640
<v Speaker 3>and the intention behind the process isn't the same. And

0:25:51.660 --> 0:25:55.359
<v Speaker 3>for me, looking at it in retrospect, this becomes a

0:25:55.460 --> 0:25:59.340
<v Speaker 3>way to be able to condition players to be obedient

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:00.550
<v Speaker 3>as part of this process.

0:26:00.570 --> 0:26:00.770
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

0:26:01.710 --> 0:26:03.420
<v Speaker 3>Do what you're told to do. Show up how you're

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 3>supposed to show up. If you do it well, we'll

0:26:06.300 --> 0:26:09.540
<v Speaker 3>pay you well. If you don't, it's going to cost you.

0:26:09.580 --> 0:26:14.400
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. That's the way a job works. Well... All

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>excellent points. I agree, Michael. I don't know why Jack

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.980
<v Speaker 2>the Racist is rejecting this. Probably because of his racism.

0:26:21.010 --> 0:26:23.750
<v Speaker 4>People always point out here. Here's what people always point out.

0:26:23.790 --> 0:26:27.410
<v Speaker 4>The compensation is different, but... Well, you can't say but

0:26:27.470 --> 0:26:31.030
<v Speaker 4>after that. The whole slavery thing really hinges on the

0:26:31.070 --> 0:26:32.050
<v Speaker 4>lack of compensation.

0:26:32.109 --> 0:26:34.530
<v Speaker 2>If I were to have a conversation with Colin, I

0:26:34.550 --> 0:26:40.210
<v Speaker 2>would say, yes, physically inspecting you is reminiscent of perhaps

0:26:40.290 --> 0:26:44.430
<v Speaker 2>the slave auction, assessing you and looking at you. I

0:26:44.450 --> 0:26:47.310
<v Speaker 2>would agree that's very, very similar. On the other hand,

0:26:48.109 --> 0:26:53.530
<v Speaker 2>to my friend Jack's point. I don't think the problem

0:26:53.570 --> 0:26:57.450
<v Speaker 2>with slavery is that there was agricultural work being done.

0:26:58.210 --> 0:27:03.260
<v Speaker 2>Agricultural work is fine, would you agree? The problem is

0:27:03.300 --> 0:27:06.580
<v Speaker 2>the lack of compensation, and whether you can quit if

0:27:06.619 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 2>you like or not. So compulsory and uncompensated, I think,

0:27:12.700 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 2>are the hallmarks of slavery. What do you say, young man?

0:27:16.619 --> 0:27:19.830
<v Speaker 4>Everybody always points out, well, the compensation's different. That's true, but...

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:21.540
<v Speaker 4>Wait a second.

0:27:21.580 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 2>You got to show up on time. You got to

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 2>do what you're told. Oh, they're conditioning you. Then they

0:27:26.859 --> 0:27:29.700
<v Speaker 2>pay you. Ah, slavery.

0:27:29.859 --> 0:27:31.899
<v Speaker 4>The whole they're conditioning you to do what you're told,

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:35.070
<v Speaker 4>which is kind of the whole boss-employee relationship. And then

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 4>if you do well, you're compensated. And if you're not,

0:27:37.290 --> 0:27:42.090
<v Speaker 4>you're not. What? How in the world do you get

0:27:42.130 --> 0:27:44.850
<v Speaker 4>to that? How are you 38 years old and saying

0:27:44.890 --> 0:27:45.530
<v Speaker 4>that out loud?

0:27:46.430 --> 0:27:50.190
<v Speaker 2>Ideology blinds people more effectively than staring at the sun.

0:27:50.350 --> 0:27:50.929
<v Speaker 4>Wow!

0:27:52.470 --> 0:27:56.109
<v Speaker 2>That is a funny, that is a dopey, dopey, funny

0:27:56.170 --> 0:27:56.830
<v Speaker 2>thing to say.

0:27:58.490 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 4>To say with a straight face? If my kids come home,

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.540
<v Speaker 4>even when they're like 19, about their first job or whatever,

0:28:06.580 --> 0:28:09.620
<v Speaker 4>and say, yeah, if you work hard, they pay you more,

0:28:09.660 --> 0:28:10.139
<v Speaker 4>but if you.

0:28:10.060 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't, they don't. How am I supposed to react to this?

0:28:13.980 --> 0:28:21.090
<v Speaker 2>Damn slavers. Hey, Colin, so actors, let's do actors. They

0:28:21.310 --> 0:28:24.190
<v Speaker 2>show up, a whole bunch of them, and then the

0:28:25.869 --> 0:28:29.850
<v Speaker 2>plantation owners, the studio plantation owners, just pick one and

0:28:29.910 --> 0:28:34.690
<v Speaker 2>send the rest home without work, without pay, just like slavery.

0:28:35.710 --> 0:28:36.230
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:28:36.530 --> 0:28:38.770
<v Speaker 4>Well, there is a difference. People always hang their hat

0:28:38.830 --> 0:28:40.989
<v Speaker 4>on the compensation. They point out the difference because you're

0:28:41.010 --> 0:28:44.020
<v Speaker 4>making millions of dollars. But that aside, wait, you can't

0:28:44.060 --> 0:28:44.990
<v Speaker 4>put that aside.

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Wow. Wow. Again, it's a form of blindness. Ideology.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:55.860
<v Speaker 4>Like dog fights. People say always hang. They always put,

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, hang their hat on the whole dogs tearing

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 4>each other to tiny pieces and they have no choice.

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 4>But that aside.

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:29:01.500 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Dog fighting is a perfectly what?

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:06.700
<v Speaker 2>Wow. From the school of that holdout. Jerry just couldn't

0:29:06.740 --> 0:29:11.410
<v Speaker 2>get past the fact that she brutally murdered her three children. Fool.

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 2>All right. A word from our friends at Incogni telling

0:29:15.540 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a story from suburban Chicagoland. I mean, this is, I know, Batavia, Illinois.

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:22.220
<v Speaker 2>It's a suburb like any other. Thousands and thousands and

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:26.030
<v Speaker 2>thousands of houses. So why was this perv outside this

0:29:26.110 --> 0:29:30.010
<v Speaker 2>poor woman's window, flashlight in a hand, all sorts of

0:29:30.070 --> 0:29:33.070
<v Speaker 2>information about her? Because he researched her on the Internet

0:29:33.130 --> 0:29:35.130
<v Speaker 2>and cyber stalked her. And then he was going to

0:29:35.510 --> 0:29:37.350
<v Speaker 2>complete his horrific deal, I guess.

0:29:37.830 --> 0:29:38.110
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:29:38.130 --> 0:29:39.170
<v Speaker 2>God knows what he.

0:29:39.110 --> 0:29:39.570
<v Speaker 3>Had in mind.

0:29:39.610 --> 0:29:42.940
<v Speaker 4>Because on. if somebody decides to research you, they can

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 4>find your home address and your phone number and all

0:29:45.500 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 4>the background and all this different information. And you do

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 4>not want that. These people search sites are really something

0:29:51.020 --> 0:29:54.100
<v Speaker 4>if you've never looked into it. And you can get

0:29:54.140 --> 0:29:58.070
<v Speaker 4>your information off a lot of those sites with incognito. Yeah,

0:29:58.090 --> 0:30:01.270
<v Speaker 4>they contact the more than 420 data broker and people

0:30:01.290 --> 0:30:03.170

<v Speaker 4>The Colin Kaepernick thing kind of fits into the last-ditch

0:30:24.700 --> 0:30:30.490
<v Speaker 4>bar stuff that we're going to play in hour two. Oh, absolutely.

0:30:30.510 --> 0:30:32.270
<v Speaker 4>The lack of parenting?

0:30:32.470 --> 0:30:32.990
<v Speaker 2>Teachers?

0:30:34.130 --> 0:30:36.050
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if my parents.

0:30:36.870 --> 0:30:39.910
<v Speaker 2>Parents pointed this stuff out, or teachers even. I think

0:30:39.950 --> 0:30:43.250
<v Speaker 2>it occurred to me that, for instance, slavery and work

0:30:43.310 --> 0:30:48.830
<v Speaker 2>are very different for all the reasons Colin Kaepernick ignores. Right, right, right.

0:30:50.070 --> 0:30:51.870
<v Speaker 4>Are people just getting dumber?

0:30:53.330 --> 0:30:57.070
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps, yes. And the longer I live, the more I

0:30:57.110 --> 0:30:59.410
<v Speaker 2>understand the saying that the most terrifying thing you could

0:30:59.450 --> 0:31:01.660
<v Speaker 2>do is spend five minutes inside somebody else's mind. I.

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it's like to live inside the

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:16.130
<v Speaker 2>brain of someone who can't process arguments quickly and say, wow,

0:31:16.210 --> 0:31:19.910
<v Speaker 2>I see some serious flaws with that, as opposed to people.

0:31:20.090 --> 0:31:23.250
<v Speaker 2>And God bless them. We shouldn't hate them. We should

0:31:23.310 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 2>work with them. We should be afraid of them. We

0:31:26.860 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 2>should be afraid of the ideology because if it takes over,

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:31.930
<v Speaker 2>we're all in trouble. 100%. The people pushing it 100%

0:31:31.930 --> 0:31:36.130
<v Speaker 2>and the mindless, the useful idiots who promote it, they

0:31:36.250 --> 0:31:38.450
<v Speaker 2>are scary and we need to fight them. But a

0:31:38.580 --> 0:31:43.330
<v Speaker 2>person who hears an argument... They're confused. It's mumbo jumbo

0:31:43.350 --> 0:31:45.430
<v Speaker 2>to them. It's as if I'm I'm talking to a

0:31:45.970 --> 0:31:50.350
<v Speaker 2>high level like commodities trader. He's thrown all sorts of

0:31:50.390 --> 0:31:53.530
<v Speaker 2>jargon at me really quickly. And I quickly realized I've

0:31:53.570 --> 0:31:55.510
<v Speaker 2>lost the thread. And I don't know whether I should

0:31:55.530 --> 0:32:00.050
<v Speaker 2>be buying cotton futures or not. And and which reminds

0:32:00.070 --> 0:32:01.910
<v Speaker 2>me of that viral video of the woman who stopped

0:32:01.930 --> 0:32:06.490
<v Speaker 2>by the roadside saying, how are there cotton fields? I

0:32:06.530 --> 0:32:10.850
<v Speaker 2>thought slavery was over anyway. I don't know that one. Oh, yeah.

0:32:10.890 --> 0:32:13.690
<v Speaker 2>She's a black gal who who implies in her video

0:32:13.710 --> 0:32:17.170
<v Speaker 2>that the only way cotton could possibly be harvested is slavery.

0:32:17.210 --> 0:32:19.260
<v Speaker 2>And she wondered what was going on in the south

0:32:19.540 --> 0:32:22.560
<v Speaker 2>that they could still grow cotton, hinting that there was slavery. Anyway,

0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:28.850
<v Speaker 2>somebody who gets that confused by the the woke arguments,

0:32:28.900 --> 0:32:32.330
<v Speaker 2>by the the the Black Lives Matter arguments. And they

0:32:32.350 --> 0:32:35.850
<v Speaker 2>just go along because they're afraid. Those are the people

0:32:35.910 --> 0:32:38.970
<v Speaker 2>who ended up dragging their families out of their houses

0:32:39.410 --> 0:32:43.350
<v Speaker 2>and beat physically beating often to death their own parents

0:32:43.390 --> 0:32:44.610
<v Speaker 2>in the streets in Mao's China.

0:32:46.670 --> 0:32:48.790
<v Speaker 4>If you if you want to see where it can go,

0:32:48.810 --> 0:32:50.910
<v Speaker 4>we're going to play clips from the committee meeting they

0:32:50.950 --> 0:32:54.100
<v Speaker 4>had at the last ditch bar when they tried to

0:32:54.150 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 4>drop their mask mandate for one night at the lesbian bar.

0:32:57.300 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 4>So we'll get to that in an hour or two.

0:32:58.540 --> 0:32:59.540
<v Speaker 4>We got mailbag on the way.

0:33:01.370 --> 0:33:06.770
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and.

0:33:09.310 --> 0:33:13.070
<v Speaker 1>Getty.

0:33:13.090 --> 0:33:15.070
<v Speaker 2>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:33:19.330 --> 0:33:21.150
<v Speaker 4>What's up with you? You happy it's the weekend?

0:33:21.290 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I am. Oh, yeah. I'm very, very excited about it.

0:33:24.450 --> 0:33:26.740
<v Speaker 2>Here's your freedom-loving quote of the day. I've come across

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:30.750
<v Speaker 2>a series of quotes from great scientists. On a variety

0:33:30.770 --> 0:33:33.760
<v Speaker 2>of topics that I've really enjoyed. And I'm going to

0:33:33.780 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 2>share them with you. For instance, this from Louis Pasteur,

0:33:36.660 --> 0:33:39.620
<v Speaker 2>the great French scientist who developed the food preparation process

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:43.060
<v Speaker 2>known as pasteurization. Where would we be without pasteurization? Eating

0:33:43.140 --> 0:33:46.500
<v Speaker 2>delicious cheese. Anyway, let me tell you the secret that

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.340
<v Speaker 2>has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely

0:33:49.380 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 2>in my tenacity. And then this from Marie Curie. Who

0:33:54.920 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>discovered radium or something? Radioactivity? I can't remember precisely. Fine woman, though,

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:04.110
<v Speaker 2>and a fine scientist. She said this. Nothing in life

0:34:04.180 --> 0:34:06.469
<v Speaker 2>is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

0:34:07.130 --> 0:34:09.310
<v Speaker 2>Now is the time to understand more so that we

0:34:09.350 --> 0:34:11.710
<v Speaker 2>may fear less. Sounds like a woman is going to

0:34:11.730 --> 0:34:14.529
<v Speaker 2>get eaten by a lion. You know, Dr. Curie, that's

0:34:14.550 --> 0:34:16.609
<v Speaker 2>so funny you should say that. If I find out

0:34:16.950 --> 0:34:19.739
<v Speaker 2>a lion has escaped from the local zoo, I'm not

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:21.660
<v Speaker 2>going to fear it. I'm going to try to understand it.

0:34:22.980 --> 0:34:25.850
<v Speaker 2>You know, that lion would prefer not to be in

0:34:25.890 --> 0:34:30.590
<v Speaker 2>a zoo. Bingo! Nailed it! Underst- Ow, my leg! Oh,

0:34:31.910 --> 0:34:37.740
<v Speaker 2>it's chewing out my leg! Mailbag. But I don't fear you, lion!

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I understand you.

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:42.580
<v Speaker 4>I'm watching that guy fight the robot in the octagon

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.010
<v Speaker 4>the other day. He needed to understand the robot that

0:34:45.110 --> 0:34:46.259
<v Speaker 4>was kicking him in the stomach.

0:34:46.390 --> 0:34:49.310
<v Speaker 2>Don't fear it. Don't fear it. Drop us a note,

0:34:49.330 --> 0:34:53.830

0:34:57.550 --> 0:35:00.529
<v Speaker 2>troubling highlights in just a few minutes. Dave writes, you

0:35:00.570 --> 0:35:02.009
<v Speaker 2>mentioned it would be hard to work with some of

0:35:02.030 --> 0:35:04.870
<v Speaker 2>these people. They probably don't work. They're on Medicaid because

0:35:04.890 --> 0:35:07.910
<v Speaker 2>they're immunocompromised, get food stamps, free housing, everything else.

0:35:08.170 --> 0:35:08.510
<v Speaker 4>True.

0:35:09.430 --> 0:35:12.700
<v Speaker 2>Or paralyzing anxiety or whatever. That plays a role.

0:35:12.940 --> 0:35:15.459
<v Speaker 4>We have an awful lot of people that don't have

0:35:15.580 --> 0:35:18.299
<v Speaker 4>to think about all the stuff we all think about

0:35:18.340 --> 0:35:20.510
<v Speaker 4>every day. How many of us are thinking about work

0:35:20.670 --> 0:35:23.610
<v Speaker 4>and raising kids? That's my entire day. I don't have

0:35:23.650 --> 0:35:25.149
<v Speaker 4>time to think about all these other things.

0:35:25.290 --> 0:35:28.890
<v Speaker 2>And if you think about practicalities constantly, might that make

0:35:28.930 --> 0:35:33.760
<v Speaker 2>you a less fertile candidate for ridiculous ideologies?

0:35:34.219 --> 0:35:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:36.940
<v Speaker 4>Wow, that might be 90% of this phenomenon.

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:40.919
<v Speaker 2>That's why all Marxism always comes from upper class academics.

0:35:41.340 --> 0:35:44.110
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't come from the working people. It never has.

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:49.130
<v Speaker 2>And it never will. Moving along. Always alert to honorary

<v Speaker 2>producer Jeff says, hey, guys, this is the latest T-shirt

0:35:52.290 --> 0:35:54.390
<v Speaker 2>making waves. Maybe add it to the A &amp; G store.

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:59.700
<v Speaker 2>Where were you when the covid conscious lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts,

0:35:59.840 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 2>eased its stringent mask mandate, splintering the queer community while

0:36:02.980 --> 0:36:04.500
<v Speaker 2>the owner attended clown school?

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.580
<v Speaker 4>That's right. We left that detail out, which is so fun.
