WEBVTT - Eagles & Nonsense

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty Armstrong.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And Pretty and no heem Strong Alive from Studio C

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 2>signor they within the bowels of the Armstrong and Giddy

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Information Complex. And So Wednesday, twelfth of August, the Year

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>of Our Lord, twenty twenty six, this morning, the show

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>will be presented under the title well, at least people

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>are finally paying attention to the wnba ah if you

0:00:53.760 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>prefer I was wrong about the Eagle. Dammit, Hanson, I

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>need you to figure out exactly when I talked about

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Jackie the Eagle and mocked it yesterday, because for those

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>of you who listened to the show live on the

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>radio somewhere in America, I think we're just on America

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>online overseas. For those of you who listen live, I

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>want to address the topic at the same time of day,

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>so I'm most likely to convey my maya kulpa to

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the people who heard it yesterday. Okay, the very short version,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and Katie, I know you get this. I realized, and

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>we got a couple of emails about this, very nice,

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>very nice. I realized there is a raptor cam that's

0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>not far from my house that has focused on a

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>couple of different sorts of birds nests, but including some

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>bald eagles. And and I was really rooting for them

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>to hatch and the babies to be okay, and and

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and so, and I know nature is cruel, and maybe

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>they will, maybe they won't. But I get people who

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>are like invested in hoping the eagles would be okay

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>and didn't want to see Jackie the eagle. Eagles don't

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>have names. That part, I'm still right about. Okay, Jackie here,

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>where is Jackie? Oh my god, mister president again again? No, No,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Biden's right, I'm sorry, Michael's right. So anyway, what I

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>was objecting to, and I realize now I have a

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>bit of a problem. And and Jack does this, and

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I yell at him for it. I hate David Muir

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>so much. The bent knows jackass, who's the anchor of

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>ABC Evening News. Nobody watches the Evening News. His cloying, syrupy,

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>simpleton fixation on the story prejudiced me against the story. Yeah,

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>and it got my backup. And I apologize to eagle

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>lovers everywhere. Your affection for rooting for the Eagles is

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>perfectly natural. Not the Philadelphia Eagles. I still hate them

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and will till I die. But the bald Eagles, it's

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 2>it's perfectly understandable. And I'm sorry the nice eagle lady

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>is dead. But nature is nice eagle lady. But nature

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 2>is cruel. Nature is really cruel. But I'm rooting for

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles, of course I am. I'm not a monster.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 2>I just hate David or he's a monster, all right.

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's out of the way, although I will revisit

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>in a few words. That's what I'm trying to say.

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, mister former Attorney General. Who is that Michael again?

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>John Ashcroft? John Ashcroft? That's right, wow, man. Time flies,

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>So that that takes care of that, at least for now.

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Although somebody figure out when I slandered the eagle lovers yesterday,

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and we'll take care of that. As I said, I

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>want to start the show officially according to FCC rules

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and regulations for which we are bleeping sticklers. We are

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>armstrong and giddy, and we approve this message. The show

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 2>starts at mark.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 3>My understanding is that is that Francesca Hang has made

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 3>clear her present stances.

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>To her lectures moved from right, she's.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Moved away from it. And I have a local city

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 3>councilman that has this saying woke one was crazy.

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>One was crazy. Okay, we'll get out of the way.

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>The fact that Francesca Hong lost in Wisconsin by the

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>narrowest of losses, as narrow as a piece of Soviet

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>toilet paper, which she would usher back in if she

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>got her way. But I wanted to address AOC laughing

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>about woke one was crazy. And she went on to say,

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and I think what's important is that we have to

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 2>assess what a candidate is saying. Now, wait a minute,

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you on woke one was crazy. And I'm

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna quote Charles C. W. Cook a little bit. He's

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite writers on this topic, and we

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>back and forth between me and him. But she's implying

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>that woke one was something that happened to us and

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>to to her, like an earth quake or a heavy

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>rain or something, rather than something that was contrived and

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>enforced by her. She was one of the leaders of

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 2>it and her ideological buddies. Yes, it was crazy, but

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't crazy. You are crazy you and the people

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>who did this to us are crazy. You can't laugh

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that off. And then Charles points out there are two

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>explanations as to why a person might have fallen for

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>crazy woke.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 4>One.

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Number one that they have poor judgment and are thus

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>liable at any moment to fall prey to the most

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>destructive ideas available, or certainly the most dradical leftist ideas,

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>which are destructive. All right, so if miss what's her face,

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter anymore. She's done at least from now.

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 2>But all of these people, if they are so liable

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to be swept away by like the latest ideological fashion

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 2>like a color of lipstick, or the hot summer read

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>or who's the hot new pop starlet, but ideas that

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>like proposed to do away with the constitution, you get

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>swept up in that you don't have the judgment to

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 2>serve in any office at any level. You have terrible judgment.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 2>You are a woman child or a man child, and

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>you have no business governing or you know. Choice number

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 2>two is you're a coward. Is that a little judgmental? Eh, yeah,

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 2>it is a little judgmental. I'm gonna go with coward.

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Though we don't have too much shaming in America, we

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>have too little. I recognize that certain sorts of people,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's probably genetics. They make their decisions through the

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>lens of acceptability, not truth. They have opinions based on

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>whether those opinions are going to make them more popular

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>or less popular, gain social acceptance or social stigma. And

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of folks who are like that

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't choose to be I don't know, And I think

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe you can get more towards the same end of

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>things if you try real hard. But anyway, having said that,

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>if you are the sort of person who picks policies

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>up to and including the destruction of the Constitution, loading

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the courts, ending the Senate, and I'm going to get

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.719
<v Speaker 2>into that some of more of the craziness in a

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>second or two. But if if you pick your policies

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that way, you were unqualified for public office. Either way,

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 2>either explanation, you're unqualified and unlike AOC and her brethren

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>whom she's defending, tens of millions of Americans did not

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>fall for war. Hello, A lot of us fought back

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>against it, some of you at great personal and professional cost.

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Some of you who were in blue professions and blue places. Man,

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you took it in the face, and I salute you.

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I truly to my soul salute you for

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 2>your courage. A lot of folks couldn't. They had mouths

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>to feed, they had careers to manage, and you know,

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I get it, but when we're looking at future leaders,

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to choose them from those who screamed

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 2>at the people who turned out to be right, like

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>they were in some sort of cult. And you know what,

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the one more aspect of this, AOC doesn't even say yeah, sorry,

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 2>They just laugh it away. Okay, here are some questions.

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Which parts of Woke One were crazy? And why specifically

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>give us two or three which people were wrong about it?

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>And why who was right? What positions did they take

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that made them right? And why do you think, unlike you,

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 2>they didn't fall into the Woke One being crazy? All right?

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 2>And finally, what practical steps have you taken to ensure

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 2>that you'll oppose future replays of this garbage? But of

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>course you know they're not going to answer those questions.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>And then to get to what Charles Cook said, and

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I think this is really the important part. I doubt

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>that AOC could answer these questions. Heck, I doubt she's

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 2>thought about them for more than a couple of minutes. Rather,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I suspect that, like many progressives, she believes that she

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and her friends are entitled to the occasional world breaking meltdown,

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>and that the proper role of everyone else is to

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 2>go along with it, as they might with the tantrum

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 2>of a small child. Well I will not, he writes, Yeah,

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean neither. We held an election during Woke one,

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and the senators who elected at that time are still

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 2>serving in Congress. What happens today matters tomorrow, even when,

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>as it appears to be the case here, it eventually

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.439
<v Speaker 2>becomes inconvenient to discuss it. Ha ha ha. The crazy demands

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of Woke one were not for a two percent increase

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 2>in the capital gains rate, but for the wholesale rejection

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of racial equality under the law. Remember that critical race

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 2>theory and systemic racism, and the only way to cure

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>racism is with racism ibramex Kenny Robin DiAngelo. These people

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 2>were given millions of dollars to train people, both in

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>government and in private companies, that white people must be

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>discriminated against, which is so blatantly clearly unconstitutional, I feel

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>silly even pointed out that it is. It was the

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>wholesale rejection of racial quality under the law. It was

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the government led reorganization the American economy, the abolition of

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the police leaves out, the emptying of prisons, which is

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 2>already born horrible results, the provision of sex change operations

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 2>for children, and the erasure of the United States border.

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what the crazy was. Again. It wasn't a slight

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 2>change in the tax rate. It was that stuff. That's madness.

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>And as Charlie Cook points out, great if the people

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 2>who made those demands and push those policies recognize the

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 2>air of their ways. But you got to give us

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>more than oops before we're gonna trust you again, good Lord.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>And there are plenty of folks who, for the reasons

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 2>we've just been discussing, they see the world not through

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 2>the lens of truth but lens of acceptability, who will

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>go along with the Haha, that was crazy. This is

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 2>our new crazy, and we're going to ruin you if

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 2>you resist this crazy. There are a lot of people

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 2>who vote that way, So uh, stay tuned, participate in

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the process, and don't go Away, Woke one was.

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Crazy Crazy.

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Arm Strong, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>We're running just a little bit late, so let's dive

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>right into who's reporting what. It's the lead story with

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Katie Green. Katie take it away, all righty.

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, the Alphabet Network's were covering inflation this morning. We'll

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 4>just say ABC's inflation eases but stays above pre I

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 4>War Iran War level.

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Mister President, please stop saying we're bringing prices down because

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.200
<v Speaker 2>people go to the freaking grocery store. Yeah.

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:06.839
<v Speaker 4>Politico David Crowley defeats Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 4>governor primary.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this guy had fled the race and the current

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>guy dragged him back in and he won by a nose.

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.959
<v Speaker 2>So good hopes for Republicans to take the state House

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>or at least the governor's office.

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:26.239
<v Speaker 4>In November New York Times, Trump's tariffs force some Canadian

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 4>companies to consider moving south.

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I hate so many of the tariffs. The ones specifically

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>about defense and self alliance I get, but like lumber

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>that's jacking up housing prices. We need Canadian lumber, all right,

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>We've been buying it forever. It's cheap.

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 4>From The Wall Street Journal, flight tracking platform Sue's Kalshi

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 4>over flight cancelation, prediction markets.

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I've got an even better prediction market story. It's

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 2>part of a segment I'm gonna call dollars and nonsense.

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 2>You see what I did there, Katie, I like it.

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah oooh yeah.

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 4>From NPR are hacks of the US water facilities a

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 4>new front for the Iran war.

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 2>It's good to left the journalists are paying attention to this,

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever it turns out to be, and I think it

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>is or on, but that our vulnerability there needs to

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>not be coded right or left. We all have to

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 2>understand it.

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Study finds heavy drinking during pregnancy has nearly tripled since

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty eleven.

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, oh boy.

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 4>That's crazy to me.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for real child abuse.

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna tell me to stop it after this one too,

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Brace yourself. Joe Oh from The New York Post, World's

<v Speaker 4>smallest Pennis patient sets date for crowd funded enlargement operation.

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like it. This guy's raised almost fourteen

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 2>k to make it bigger. Yeah, you know, if you've

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>got the micro thing, that's a really tough way to

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 2>go through life. If you're you know, well, if you're

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 2>heterosexual orgy, it doesn't matter. R Yeah. I feel it's

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>a deformity I feel.

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 4>And finally the Babylon Bee Democrats announce you aren't allowed

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 4>to remember what they did just.

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>A few years ago. Exactly. Yeah, that's the AOC thing.

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I think. What's important is to listen to what people

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 2>are saying today. Oh no, Look, if you're talking about

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 2>an eleven year old who's now fourteen, yeah, okay, I

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 2>get it. Yeah, even maybe a sixteen year old who's

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 2>now nineteen. But a forty five year old it was

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 2>forty two or you know whatever age you would No, No,

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 2>you were calling for the end of the United States Constitution,

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the end to are are well, you were coming out

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 2>in favor of racism. A few yours and you just

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.880
<v Speaker 2>get to get out of jail free pass. No, you're

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 2>unfit for office, as we are discussing. So, inspite of

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the JIV name, I've given the next segment to dollars

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 2>and nonsense. I came across a handful of stories that

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>are all My reaction to all of them was, Wow,

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that's the way that works, and I think you will

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>be surprised and enlightened. Two got some great guests we'll

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 2>tell you about in a couple of minutes, says well,

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 2>see Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty See Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Really excited about we're going to have at the bottom

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.880
<v Speaker 2>of our two halfway through hour two with the great

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.120
<v Speaker 2>James Lindsay, one of my favorite thinkers, one of the

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:11.159
<v Speaker 2>people who's been the most effective and eloquent while being

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.920
<v Speaker 2>mostly like really understandable to all of us, calling out

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 2>critical theory and the neo Marxist movement, what some people

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 2>call the woke movement. But the mistake they make is

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 2>thinking these are just you know, maybe well meaning simpletons

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.480
<v Speaker 2>with some bad policy ideas, and we should talk them

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 2>out of it. But they don't understand that there's a

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 2>serious philosophical underpinning to this, and it's everywhere in our

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>schools and universities. And this is the tip of the iceberg.

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 2>We want to talk about what's under the water that

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.959
<v Speaker 2>you might not be aware of with this way of

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 2>thinking the whole where is this crazy woke thing coming from?

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>So again, we're going to do that next hour and

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm really looking forward to it. Love James we've been

0:18:55.720 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>following him since he first emerged as a professor. Yeah,

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Portland State, I think it was. And one of the

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 2>early moments of his war against this insanity was there's

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>this online feud saying two plus two does not necessarily

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.359
<v Speaker 2>equal four. In some cultures it isn't. So no, you

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>can't say that. That's racist to say that. And he

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, wait a minute, what is this philosophy? And

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 2>he dug into it. He's become an expert on it.

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, next hour, welcome to a brand new feature.

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm calling it Dollars and nonsense. Oh that was a

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 2>nice touch at the end there. Yeah, that's good. Putting

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>aside the JIV name. I thought this was also interesting.

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>A handful of stories about money. I can't believe this.

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 2>This is an exclusive investigation by the Wall Street Journal.

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 2>They looked like they were getting rich on polymarket, but

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 2>none of it was real. And I've seen a couple

0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 2>of these videos they were The prediction market is flooded

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>social media with deceptive video, deceptive videos by paid creators.

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Here's how it works. Here's this guy, George, George Makhara.

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.440
<v Speaker 2>In case you're into this and you've seen these videos,

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 2>he appears to have a lucrative side hustle making bets

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 2>on Polymarket. In January, this guy's at college student. He

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.360
<v Speaker 2>posted a video that showed him winning one hundred grand

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 2>on Polymarket on a bet that President Trump would publicly

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 2>say the word McDonald's that month. The bet was one

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 2>of one hundred and forty five that Makihara appeared to

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 2>place on Polymarket's website between January and mid May, based

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 2>on his videos, bets adding up to almost four hundred

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and ten thousand dollars. But according to the Wall Street

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Journal investigation, none of those bets were reel, and he's

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 2>one of dozens of mostly college aged creators Polymarket paid

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to film themselves making fake trades and sometimes scoring fake wins.

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>According to an analysis of more than eleven hundred video

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.919
<v Speaker 2>that the journal took in, along with instructional materials and

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 2>interviews with creators who've worked with the company on the

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 2>actual site. For what it's worth, more than fifty accounts

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 2>made that McDonald's bet in January, and all of them lost,

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 2>So they didn't even go real far down the line

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>of covering their tracks to make sure these were bets

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.679
<v Speaker 2>that actually paid off in that month or what have you.

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 2>And I watched I departed from the text of this

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 2>article to watch one of the videos, and I'm like,

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute. This dude's like, there's Polymarket on his screen,

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>there's the thing happening, there's the amount. I mean, he's

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 2>videoing his using of the website. So I go back

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 2>to the text and it explains and it's push to

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>draw users to its unregulated platform, Polymarket is flooded social

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 2>media with videos like Machi Hars, which appeared genuine at

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 2>first glance. In reality, Polymarket built near perfect copies of

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 2>its own site, then instructed creators to make simulated trades

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 2>on those dummy sites and hide that they were being

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 2>paid by Polymarket. Then, to get the videos to go viral,

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 2>poly market is recruited a social media army to copy

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 2>and repost those creators footage so they would go viral

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Though the New York based company has been

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 2>banned from offering its crypto its primary crypto platform in

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the US since twenty twenty two, the social media creators

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 2>are paid to specifically target US users who can still

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 2>access the site with a virtual Private network of VPN,

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 2>which is a decent idea if you don't like to

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 2>be tracked on the Internet. Of course, the polymarket spokeshole

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.360
<v Speaker 2>set in a statement that it was committed to maintaining

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the accurate, fair and transparent markets. We are part of

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:51.360
<v Speaker 2>a rapidly growing industry and are constantly evaluing ways, evaluating

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 2>ways to improve how we're engaging in earning the trust

0:22:54.080 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 2>of our audience. So anyway, holy cow, that is uh well,

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 2>just to understand how serious and sophisticated these people are

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 2>about misleading you. I mean, I gotta admit if I'm

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 2>watching a commercial for some sort of I don't know,

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 2>counter cleaner spray that makes your counter shiny and clean

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and smell like lemons, I know that chick in the

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:25.920
<v Speaker 2>ad is not actually a woman cleaning your own counters

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 2>at home. Okay, I get that. But to have those

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 2>videos be that detailed and that deliberately fraudulent and not

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 2>disclose any of it, well, you know what's going on.

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to explain it to you. Story number two,

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 2>how the bond market inflated Powerball, and we had somebody

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>tried to explain this to us once, and I remember

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 2>being mystified a bit tonight there's a billion dollar powerball drawing.

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Marmdpa plays the power ball. We all want it, Michael.

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>We're all hoping he's looking for Okay anyway, But if

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you win the power ball and take the cash payout,

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 2>it's only four hundred and thirty three million dollars. It's

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 2>less than half of the billion dollars now. Five and

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.400
<v Speaker 2>a half years ago, there was a super big prize

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:28.239
<v Speaker 2>in January twenty one. The jackpot was seven hundred and

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>thirty one million, so about a quarter smaller. Yet the

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>lump sum payment if you chose that was five hundred

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.159
<v Speaker 2>and forty seven million dollars. So how the hell do

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>you have a the jackpot be you know, a third bigger,

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 2>up to a billion dollars, But the payout is what

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 2>is that one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars less? It

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 2>has to do with what's what's the correct term the

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 2>bond yield? And this is what's in the small print.

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Powerball and Mega Millions both offer the option for a

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 2>winner to take thirty checks that grow by five percent annually.

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.600
<v Speaker 2>The lotteries take no financial risk offering that annuity, since

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 2>they buy zero coupon treasury bonds maturing on those dates,

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>much the way a corporate pension fund might. Because inflation

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and the lure of risk, your assets like stocks are

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 2>higher than in twenty twenty one. If you follow the

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 2>market at all, you know it's been sky high. So

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 2>are the yields. Because to get you to buy bonds,

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:37.400
<v Speaker 2>they've got to give you better rates, better returns. Otherwise

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 2>you just go to stocks. So anyway, the upshot is

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 2>a bigger difference between the lump sum versus the annuity.

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 2>The cash value is seventy five percent of the advertised

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>prize in twenty twenty one. Now it's forty three percent.

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 2>So it has to do with bond yields. And the

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:59.640
<v Speaker 2>small print is, yeah, if you if you don't take

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the cab thing, you get an annuity that's based on

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:06.360
<v Speaker 2>bond yields, and so that the cash payout the lump sum,

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I should say, is all based on that math, which

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea of moving along an dollars. That's right.

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 2>The Powerball son gives me your romote after we watch

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 2>the power Ball, that's right. Interesting article here StubHub customers

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>who battled for tickets and battle harder for a refund

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 2>article starts with the story of it's three hours before

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the US played Paraguay in the World Cup in June,

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and this dude is standing outside Sofi Stadium in Englewood, California, LA,

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 2>essentially with his dad and no tickets. Now this is June.

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Right in March, he'd gone on stub hub and paid

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty two hundred dollars for a pair of seats as

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 2>a birthday gift for his dad. Four days earlier, he'd

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 2>called stub Hub to say his tickets were still not

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 2>on the FIFA. Where are they? Company said, yeah, we'll

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 2>have replacements by noon tomorrow. Never showed up. He spoke

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.120
<v Speaker 2>with StubHub at least ten times and calls that spend

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.640
<v Speaker 2>nearly three hours in the days leading up to the game.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Each time he was told not to worry. At kickoff,

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 2>he was still without tickets. He approached the stadium's guest

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 2>services window. Stadium employee said you're here because of stub Hub, right,

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, wow, yeah, She gestured at a crowd

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>of forty people standing to the side. You're not the

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 2>only one. All of these people are here because of

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 2>stub Hub. So there's been a huge a number of

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 2>folks who've faced this sort of thing, not just for

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the World Cup, but a bunch of other stuff, and

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 2>apparently and a Knicks game, Hamilton performance, George Strait concert,

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you name it, and bunches of stub Hub customers are

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:56.360
<v Speaker 2>getting stiff like this, and then sometimes they get nothing.

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes they're sent replacements that were worse than what they

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 2>paid for, Like you're in the waybacks instead of upfront

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 2>that's paid for, and you have to spend months fighting

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 2>stub Hub for refunds, including refunds that said, yep, you're right,

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you got screwed. We'll get your refund and you got

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 2>to spend months fighting for Many resolutions came only after

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:20.360
<v Speaker 2>they hired lawyers or complained in the press, and that

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 2>ain't cool. Complaints about stub Hub to the Better Business

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Bureau rose forty seven percent forty seven percent from twenty

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty four to twenty twenty five, and climbed sixty three

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 2>percent in the eight months leading up to the company

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 2>September twenty twenty five initial public offering. Hmm, I'm not

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 2>saying the vast majority of folks don't get what they

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 2>paid for, but fire beware. Final story dollars and nonsense.

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 2>This is as political as it is anything else. Who

0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 2>here has bought a house? Show of hands, A lot

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 2>of us. Okay, what do you do when you're looking

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 2>for a house. Maybe you go on your favorite real

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 2>estate site. You look at the house itself, you get

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the pictures, you look at the map, Oh, that's real

0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 2>close to the main road or whatever. And then if

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 2>you're a savvy buyer, you look at the school's ratings, right,

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>and maybe you even look at crime rates and that

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing. Do you check out Meghan's list for

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 2>blue dots for child molesters in the neighborhood. Whatever. If

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you're a savvy home buyer, you do all those things.

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Six days after Joe Biden was sworn into office, he

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>issued a directive establishing enforcement priorities for the Department of

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Housing and Urban Development. HUD aimed at scaring real estate

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 2>companies and real estate agents into not disclosing crime and

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 2>school information in real estate listings because it might hurt diversity.

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Diversity and inclusive communities strengthen our democracy. The executive memorandum began,

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 2>But you know who wants their community to be inclusive

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of failing schools? And who wants diversity to mean armed

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>criminals along with innocent people? And what's crazy about this is,

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, black families don't want to live in dangerous

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>neighborhoods with bad schools either. Nobody does, but many progressives

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 2>believe racial equalities best achieved by demolishing standards for everyone.

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 2>So the effect of Biden's memo, which made clear that

0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 2>racial politics and the doctrine of disparate impact, would guide

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 2>HUD's enforcement of federal housing laws, and the major online

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>real estate companies immediately understood what was being demanded of them. Realtor,

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>dot Com and Zillo immediately stopped providing crime data, while Redfinn,

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 2>going out of its way to embrace the party line,

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:54.959
<v Speaker 2>posted a blog proclaiming neighborhood crime data doesn't belong on

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 2>real estate sites. National Association of Realtors put up a

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 2>web page in early twenty three titled how to Handle

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Client Questions about schools and neighborhood Neighborhoods, which told realtors

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to point home buyers to other sources of information, don't

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 2>give them the facts yourself. And the page is absolutely

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 2>stuffed with dei jargon, but it also testifies it makes

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 2>clear that the Real Estate Association worried the fair housing

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 2>laws would be interpreted aggressively in realtors who did tell

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>their clients about schools and crime would run the risk

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>of punishment by the federal government. Okay, how many ways

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 2>is this horrible? I mean, number one, there's a huge

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:50.959
<v Speaker 2>free speech issue here. Huge. Secondly, the idea that the

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Dei cult would deny you this information because they thought

0:31:56.480 --> 0:32:01.479
<v Speaker 2>it might disproportionately lead you to not buy it house, Senate, black,

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Hispanic neighborhood or something. Man, these people are sick the

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Biden administration. We're enthusiastically on board. Mailbag is next.

0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Strong, the Armstrong and Getti Show.

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 2>We don't have a lot of times, so let's get

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 2>right to our freedom loving quote of the day, continuing

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 2>our series from Nikita Khrushchev, one of the most critical

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 2>figures in communism in the twentieth century. I'll give you

0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 2>a trio of them today. We do not have to

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>invade the United States. We will destroy you from within.

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 2>The United States will eventually fly the communist red flag,

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the American people will hoist it themselves. And finally, the

0:32:54.640 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 2>press is our chief ideological weapon. Mailbag says me, uh uh,

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 2>you can drop us note mail bag at Armstrong and

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Yetty dot com. Michael writes, the problem I see with

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 2>AOC saying that woke one was crazy is that she

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 2>thinks there's going to be a woke too. Well, there

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 2>absolutely is. Absolutely, it's really it's just an adjustment of strategy.

0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the things we're going to talk to

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 2>James Lindsay about in about forty minutes. Let's see this

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 2>is Anna Luisa and Sunny La mesa frequent correspondent. When

0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 2>you shared the story of Senator grass Ling and is

0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Hoover vacuum, it made me think of the late Senator

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Harry Reid, who told a story about growing up in

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 2>a small, very poor town in Nevada. The legal House

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 2>of Prostitution had the only swimming pool in town. That's

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 2>where his mom worked. By the way, I think she

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 2>did laundry there. Gross the owner felt bad for the kids,

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 2>so in the summer, one afternoon each week he'd kick

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>out the prostitutes and let the town's kids have the pool.

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Call me Cilly and o fashion, but I'll take the

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 2>vacuum story, the pool story, or even Biden's corn pop

0:34:04.360 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 2>story over the DSA's crazy communist, anti Semitic, anti American

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 2>rants any day. Yeah, that's a that's a really good point.

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. I enjoy the Chuck Grassley things cute. But

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 2>then this from Bill from Michigan. And Bill, let me

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:22.920
<v Speaker 2>say in advance, this is a very well searched, researched

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 2>and intelligent note. You're you're obviously a man of substance.

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 2>But seriously, dude, here's his note, Joe, your comments on

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Senator Grassley seemed biased? Are you obviously he's old and

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to navigate social media. Some may find that endearing.

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Others Democrats, of course, use it as evidence he's over

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the hill and you're not helping. He will likely retire

0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:45.760
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the term. Hope we could backfill

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:48.399
<v Speaker 2>him with someone is productive given the fights we find

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:50.720
<v Speaker 2>ourselves in. If you're going to speak and laugh about

0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>what his opposition is posting, you might also include some

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 2>of what he's recently accomplished. He and his team also

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.760
<v Speaker 2>worth blasting out over the radio. Otherwise, what is your goal?

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 2>And he lists a bunch of Chuck Grassley's legislative accomplishments,

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:11.360
<v Speaker 2>which again are considerable and lovely and of fairly solid

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:19.720
<v Speaker 2>conservative stuff. Bill, your radio show would be so boring

0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 2>you would have no listeners. Wow, Wow, lighten up, Francis

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the topic of the WNBA patty rights using logic a

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 2>critical theory. Why have the WNBA at all? If there's

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 2>no difference between the sexes, the LGBT crowd could just

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:40.280
<v Speaker 2>join the NBA. You never hear about a woman wanting

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 2>to join a man's team. And then in a little

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 2>more detail, Poolo rights. No point speculating about the WNBA's

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 2>trans problem, but it's fun, so I'll indulge WNBA's policies

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 2>that you have to be a woman to play, but

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't define what a woman is. I don't think they

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 2>will define what a woman is because they can't. They know.

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 2>They're supposed to believe that a person in a male

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 2>body can be a woman. They're supposed to be inclusive,

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>that's all they know. Remember how hard it was for

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 2>that gender professor when Matt Walsh asked him what a

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 2>woman was. Yet, we'll be playing a little bit of

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that coming up. They will come up with a way

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to tap dance around the issue, but we're gonna call

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 2>them on it, and it's gonna be fun to watch

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:17.520
