WEBVTT - Sarcasm & Slurs

0:00:05.930 --> 0:00:09.780
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:09.820 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:11.860 --> 0:00:15.579
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:15.740 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 3>And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:30.330 --> 0:00:31.310
<v Speaker 4>Some business news.

0:00:31.390 --> 0:00:38.030
<v Speaker 3>KFC just announced a new meal bucket for less than $ 4.

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.269
<v Speaker 4>It's just the bucket, but still a good deal. It's

0:00:39.350 --> 0:00:40.070
<v Speaker 4>a decent bucket.

0:00:41.580 --> 0:00:45.140
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I was thinking, when does shrinkflation end?

0:00:45.820 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Because it's so damned annoying. Okay, I get why it

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.690
<v Speaker 3>happened in the beginning. You make the packages a little

0:00:51.790 --> 0:00:54.130
<v Speaker 3>smaller so that you don't have to raise the price

0:00:54.170 --> 0:00:56.350
<v Speaker 3>as much because we're getting sticker shock, all that. But

0:00:56.410 --> 0:00:58.530
<v Speaker 3>now it's just so damned annoying that I got to

0:00:58.570 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>buy six boxes of whatever cereal I'm buying to.

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Have the equivalent of a box.

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.060
<v Speaker 3>It's... And.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>The price is going to be the same. I've caught

0:01:09.380 --> 0:01:13.410
<v Speaker 3>on to that after six years of inflation. And it's just,

0:01:13.890 --> 0:01:16.350
<v Speaker 3>you buy a box of cereal, seriously, and there's lots

0:01:16.390 --> 0:01:19.390
<v Speaker 3>of examples. The cottage cheese container I bought the other day,

0:01:19.650 --> 0:01:21.850
<v Speaker 3>what is this, a spoonful of cottage cheese?

0:01:22.430 --> 0:01:24.789
<v Speaker 4>Right, right. You wish there was like, I don't know,

0:01:24.850 --> 0:01:28.229
<v Speaker 4>a government program or something where all the consumers could

0:01:28.270 --> 0:01:31.870
<v Speaker 4>say to, say, you know, the Kellogg company, all right, dudes,

0:01:32.030 --> 0:01:34.380
<v Speaker 4>we get it. We get it. Prices have gone up.

0:01:34.500 --> 0:01:39.149
<v Speaker 4>Don't make me buy six boxes of practically empty of

0:01:39.270 --> 0:01:41.710
<v Speaker 4>cereal to squeeze out a couple of bowls. Just sell

0:01:41.750 --> 0:01:44.450
<v Speaker 4>me the regular box at whatever price you're selling it

0:01:44.510 --> 0:01:45.670
<v Speaker 4>for these days. All right.

0:01:46.430 --> 0:01:49.860
<v Speaker 3>It's amazing how many empty boxes, these tiny little empty boxes,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.580
<v Speaker 3>and then all the plastic things you got to throw

0:01:51.620 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>away and everything like that. You can literally get like

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 3>two bowls out of a box and it's empty. But

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.059
<v Speaker 3>all of the products are that way. But I just wondered,

0:02:00.220 --> 0:02:01.860
<v Speaker 3>will shrinkflation go away over time?

0:02:01.900 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 4>It has to, right? Because it just doesn't make sense.

0:02:03.860 --> 0:02:07.490
<v Speaker 4>I would think so, sure. Yeah, yeah.

0:02:08.790 --> 0:02:13.290
<v Speaker 3>Mentioned earlier that Russia hit Ukraine cities hard last night,

0:02:13.450 --> 0:02:18.019
<v Speaker 3>killed a whole bunch of people, civilians. And it's the

0:02:18.220 --> 0:02:21.859
<v Speaker 3>new superfast technology. Missile drone thingies they got to shoot

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.340
<v Speaker 3>at Ukraine and Ukraine doesn't have the defenses for it.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 3>They're just basically Zelensky warned in the morning. Our intelligence

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.100
<v Speaker 3>shows there's a major attack coming tonight. So they knew

0:02:31.139 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 3>it was coming and they couldn't do anything about it.

0:02:33.090 --> 0:02:36.810
<v Speaker 3>They just hit bunches of regular buildings, apartment buildings and

0:02:36.830 --> 0:02:39.810
<v Speaker 3>whatever around Ukraine, killing a whole bunch of people. That's

0:02:40.490 --> 0:02:41.290
<v Speaker 3>a depressing development.

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 4>They've actually taken back land in the Donbass, but they're

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:49.380
<v Speaker 4>up against a homicidal egomaniac in Putin. So he's just

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:50.859
<v Speaker 4>going to kill them to punish them. Yeah.

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.779
<v Speaker 3>Who doesn't care how many of his own people he

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.190
<v Speaker 3>kills in the process of gaining nothing? Wanted to do

0:02:57.220 --> 0:03:02.590
<v Speaker 3>this story. I had never heard of my glymphatic system

0:03:02.610 --> 0:03:06.430
<v Speaker 3>in my brain. Not the lymphatic system, but your glymphatic

0:03:06.470 --> 0:03:08.889
<v Speaker 3>system that is in your brain. It gets all gooped

0:03:08.930 --> 0:03:10.530
<v Speaker 3>up with stuff all the time. They're just learning this.

0:03:11.130 --> 0:03:13.329
<v Speaker 3>As you get older, particularly, and then it can lead

0:03:13.370 --> 0:03:15.350
<v Speaker 3>to all kinds of problems, your brain not working as well,

0:03:15.410 --> 0:03:20.180
<v Speaker 3>but also Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, anything that affects your brain is

0:03:20.220 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 3>your glymphatic system getting all gummed up. I'm not sure

0:03:22.010 --> 0:03:24.540
<v Speaker 3>I've ever heard this term before. I had never heard

0:03:24.580 --> 0:03:26.460
<v Speaker 3>it before either. That's why it's such a big story

0:03:26.500 --> 0:03:30.220
<v Speaker 3>in the Washington Post and other places. The brain's plumbing system,

0:03:30.260 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 3>if it doesn't work properly, cellular garbage accumulates, and a

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 3>cleaner brain is a healthier brain. Three ways to help

0:03:37.660 --> 0:03:40.450
<v Speaker 3>your brain clear out waste. I'm going to do all

0:03:40.530 --> 0:03:42.470
<v Speaker 3>three of these. It turns out I'm only going to.

0:03:42.490 --> 0:03:43.050
<v Speaker 4>Do two of them.

0:03:44.780 --> 0:03:46.260
<v Speaker 3>But I am doing two of them, which is good.

0:03:47.020 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Mindful breathing. I think I kind of do that because

0:03:49.820 --> 0:03:55.950
<v Speaker 3>I do that all the time. That's what Joe does

0:03:55.970 --> 0:03:57.210
<v Speaker 3>in the office all day.

0:03:57.230 --> 0:04:01.390
<v Speaker 4>Judy and I are out to eat, sitting in a booth.

0:04:03.540 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>the table behind me sir could you stop that oh.

0:04:06.190 --> 0:04:08.590
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you want me to have a gummed up lymphatic

0:04:08.630 --> 0:04:11.930
<v Speaker 3>system you monster how about you mind your own business

0:04:13.190 --> 0:04:17.550
<v Speaker 3>um i i guess i do mindful i i meditate

0:04:17.570 --> 0:04:19.650
<v Speaker 3>so i don't know probably don't do that one either

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 3>um but the uh one of the main ones that

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 3>i don't do absolutely sleep sleep not getting enough sleep

0:04:27.020 --> 0:04:29.140
<v Speaker 3>is so horrible for the brain that's where they clear

0:04:29.180 --> 0:04:32.169
<v Speaker 3>out a lot of the glymphatic goop that leads to

0:04:32.370 --> 0:04:36.970
<v Speaker 3>perhaps alzheimer's perhaps Parkinson's, perhaps lots of these different things.

0:04:37.650 --> 0:04:40.930
<v Speaker 3>And that sleepy time is when you clear all that

0:04:41.110 --> 0:04:43.890
<v Speaker 3>gook out. It actually drains out of your brain into

0:04:43.930 --> 0:04:45.850
<v Speaker 3>your body and then comes out as waste. But if

0:04:45.870 --> 0:04:47.420
<v Speaker 3>you don't get enough sleep, it doesn't have time to

0:04:47.450 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>do it. Isn't that interesting?

0:04:48.500 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to demand a mid-show nap from here on out. Boy,

0:04:52.460 --> 0:04:54.420
<v Speaker 4>I love a good nap. I do too.

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Neither one of my kids like naps. And I think

0:04:58.220 --> 0:05:00.380
<v Speaker 3>I did even as a high schooler. I think I

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.230
<v Speaker 3>liked a nap. I rarely got to take one, but

0:05:02.250 --> 0:05:03.050
<v Speaker 3>I think I enjoyed them.

0:05:03.570 --> 0:05:05.270
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was desperate for sleep as a high schooler.

0:05:05.290 --> 0:05:09.410
<v Speaker 4>What's your perfect nap length? What's your go-to? Or do

0:05:09.430 --> 0:05:11.390
<v Speaker 4>you just grab it when you can as long as

0:05:11.410 --> 0:05:11.810
<v Speaker 4>you got?

0:05:12.810 --> 0:05:16.340
<v Speaker 3>Often that, but didn't we learn a while back, this

0:05:16.420 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 3>is stuck in my head, that it's either going to

0:05:17.940 --> 0:05:19.900
<v Speaker 3>be 20 minutes or an hour and a half, anything

0:05:19.980 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 3>other than that, and you wake up with that sick,

0:05:22.460 --> 0:05:25.620
<v Speaker 3>groggy feeling, which I hate. That is the worst. I'd

0:05:25.660 --> 0:05:28.870
<v Speaker 3>rather not take a nap than wake up with that, oh,

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:29.990
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I'm going to yack.

0:05:30.850 --> 0:05:33.750
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Makes you sluggish for the rest

0:05:33.770 --> 0:05:35.830
<v Speaker 4>of the day. I found that it takes me a

0:05:35.850 --> 0:05:38.870
<v Speaker 4>minute to mellow out, so a good half hour is

0:05:39.089 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 4>about perfect for me.

0:05:39.870 --> 0:05:41.710
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if I set my alarm for 30 minutes, I

0:05:41.740 --> 0:05:43.900
<v Speaker 3>probably get 20 minutes of sleep, which is the right amount.

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.140
<v Speaker 3>And then I wake up and I feel pretty good. But, man,

0:05:46.180 --> 0:05:48.940
<v Speaker 3>that too long? Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.

0:05:49.980 --> 0:05:50.460
<v Speaker 3>I hate that.

0:05:51.370 --> 0:05:52.070
<v Speaker 4>Does everybody nap?

0:05:52.290 --> 0:05:53.930
<v Speaker 3>Some of you are like, I haven't taken a nap

0:05:53.970 --> 0:05:55.589
<v Speaker 3>in 40 years. Is that what a lot of you

0:05:55.610 --> 0:05:56.830
<v Speaker 3>are screaming at the radio right now?

0:05:57.370 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 4>My wife will only nap in extreme circumstances. Like we

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.540
<v Speaker 4>had an overnight flight and she got no sleep or

0:06:04.940 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 4>something like that.

0:06:05.740 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 3>My dad started taking a nap every day, but he's

0:06:07.540 --> 0:06:09.500
<v Speaker 3>pushing 90. So I suppose you get to eat a

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:10.300
<v Speaker 3>free pass for that.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.180
<v Speaker 4>Do whatever the hell he wants.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 3>No kidding. But sleep health, man, they're learning more and

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 3>more about how important that is for your brain resetting

0:06:18.060 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 3>and all that sort of stuff. Try to get enough

0:06:20.500 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 3>sleep the natural way if you can. Taking sleep medication

0:06:23.140 --> 0:06:26.180
<v Speaker 3>is not good because that inhibits all the oscillations that

0:06:26.220 --> 0:06:28.380
<v Speaker 3>need to happen to get the stuff to drain out

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:28.860
<v Speaker 3>of your brain.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.060
<v Speaker 4>Right, you gotta get your oscillating in.

0:06:32.610 --> 0:06:36.529
<v Speaker 3>Melatonin's a huge industry right now, though. I don't know

0:06:36.550 --> 0:06:40.530
<v Speaker 3>if that counts. The mindful breathing, I don't exactly know

0:06:40.570 --> 0:06:42.310
<v Speaker 3>what I'm supposed to do with that. And then the

0:06:42.350 --> 0:06:44.850
<v Speaker 3>other one, of course, is, I'll bet you could guess.

0:06:45.650 --> 0:06:48.310
<v Speaker 3>What are the two main things that you should do

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.700
<v Speaker 3>just to be healthy in general?

0:06:50.339 --> 0:06:55.060
<v Speaker 4>Everybody say it at once. Exercise. Exercise. Gotta be, yeah.

0:06:55.290 --> 0:06:58.370
<v Speaker 3>So you're probably saying this is the most useless segment

0:06:58.390 --> 0:07:01.909
<v Speaker 3>you've ever done. Maybe not if it reminds me once again,

0:07:02.450 --> 0:07:05.750
<v Speaker 3>sleep and exercise. You want to feel good? You want

0:07:05.770 --> 0:07:08.310
<v Speaker 3>to have a long life? Flip and get enough sleep.

0:07:08.550 --> 0:07:12.860
<v Speaker 3>I exercise every day. But sleep thing, not so much.

0:07:13.430 --> 0:07:15.370
<v Speaker 4>You're way better at exercise than I am. I'm way

0:07:15.390 --> 0:07:17.900
<v Speaker 4>better at sleep, although I take a morning walk with

0:07:17.980 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 4>my wife every morning and almost skipped it today. Almost

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.980
<v Speaker 4>skipped it and was running late, and I said, no,

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 4>I just can't. I have no good reason. Get out there.

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.340
<v Speaker 4>Now you're running late, idiot. That's the problem. You're not

0:07:30.380 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>skipping your walk.

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.900
<v Speaker 3>I've been trying to make my son go to the

0:07:32.940 --> 0:07:34.650
<v Speaker 3>gym with me every afternoon because I go every day

0:07:35.290 --> 0:07:37.710
<v Speaker 3>and trying to create the habit. That's one of the

0:07:37.750 --> 0:07:40.570
<v Speaker 3>best things I've learned in my life is that habits

0:07:40.630 --> 0:07:44.310
<v Speaker 3>are hard to break, good or bad. I think I

0:07:44.330 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 3>spent my whole life thinking bad habits are hard to break.

0:07:46.620 --> 0:07:48.740
<v Speaker 3>No good habits are hard to break. A lot of

0:07:48.780 --> 0:07:50.860
<v Speaker 3>the things that you do are just because you got

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.660
<v Speaker 3>into a habit maybe as a kid or a young

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 3>adult or whatever. And it's not just part of your DNA.

0:07:58.380 --> 0:08:02.500
<v Speaker 3>It's a habit that you created. And I can't skip exercise.

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like something's wrong here. I got to go to

0:08:04.580 --> 0:08:07.900
<v Speaker 3>the gym or practice a guitar or whatever my good

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.660
<v Speaker 3>habits are. I also have plenty of bad habits. It's

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:10.380
<v Speaker 3>a long list.

0:08:12.700 --> 0:08:13.140
<v Speaker 4>What do they say?

0:08:13.180 --> 0:08:15.100
<v Speaker 3>How long it takes to establish a good habit? Do

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 3>it 60 times in a row or something like that.

0:08:16.500 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. There's some number they claim. I don't

0:08:18.820 --> 0:08:21.740
<v Speaker 3>know if that's true or not. What's your worst habit?

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.380
<v Speaker 3>That'd be a good one. Text line, email.

0:08:24.420 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 4>What's your worst habit? Asking personal questions of people. That's yours. Huh?

0:08:31.900 --> 0:08:36.780
<v Speaker 3>Michael, what's your worst habit?

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.059
<v Speaker 4>It's got to be being a beeping Tom.

0:08:39.900 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:40.059 --> 0:08:46.660
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah, crouching in your neighbor's bushes. That's what I thought. Yeah, yeah. Hey,

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 4>third strike, they put you away for a long time,

0:08:48.700 --> 0:08:51.460
<v Speaker 4>by the way, Michael. Just remember that. It would have

0:08:51.500 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 4>to be the sauce, I think, for me. And I

0:08:54.110 --> 0:08:59.630
<v Speaker 4>try to drink reasonably, but, like, according to CDC guidelines, no,

0:08:59.890 --> 0:09:02.510
<v Speaker 4>I drink way too much. But those guidelines can go

0:09:02.530 --> 0:09:06.429
<v Speaker 4>to hell. But, no, in terms of– because I try

0:09:06.450 --> 0:09:09.790
<v Speaker 4>to get sleep. I exercise regularly. I'm good to my wife.

0:09:09.850 --> 0:09:10.030
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. Sarcasm? No, it's got to be the scotch.

0:09:16.460 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 4>I stay up too late.

0:09:17.140 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 3>And wine.

0:09:17.700 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I like wine.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Sarcasm's a good one. I recognized that the other day.

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.459
<v Speaker 3>Every once in a while, I use sarcasm as a

0:09:27.500 --> 0:09:30.290
<v Speaker 3>parenting tool, and I don't like it any time that

0:09:30.350 --> 0:09:33.469
<v Speaker 3>I do. It's usually not, like, on purpose.

0:09:34.550 --> 0:09:37.630
<v Speaker 4>I learned the same lesson painfully. Yeah, it just, it's...

0:09:39.929 --> 0:09:44.010
<v Speaker 4>Different people of different personality types and stages of development,

0:09:44.150 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 4>including adolescence and teenage years and stuff like that. Sometimes, though,

0:09:48.700 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 4>you're not wielding the weapon quite the way you think

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:56.030
<v Speaker 4>you are. You're hitting harder than you thought you were

0:09:56.309 --> 0:09:56.770
<v Speaker 4>at times.

0:09:56.850 --> 0:09:58.990
<v Speaker 3>And I just was remembering in my own childhood, I'm

0:09:59.210 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 3>pretty sure my dad has never said anything sarcastic to

0:10:01.860 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 3>me in an effort to correct me or anything like

0:10:05.420 --> 0:10:08.809
<v Speaker 3>that ever in my life. And I do that because

0:10:08.850 --> 0:10:11.490
<v Speaker 3>I'm a sarcastic person. And that's not good.

0:10:11.990 --> 0:10:14.809
<v Speaker 4>Was a fine fellow and did his best as a dad,

0:10:14.830 --> 0:10:16.290
<v Speaker 4>and I think he did a good job. But I

0:10:16.350 --> 0:10:18.310
<v Speaker 4>remember something sarcastic he said to me when I was

0:10:18.309 --> 0:10:19.550
<v Speaker 4>10 years old. Right.

0:10:19.870 --> 0:10:21.350
<v Speaker 3>That sort of thing will stick with you.

0:10:21.370 --> 0:10:25.090
<v Speaker 4>I can quote it verbatim. The scenario, the situation, everything.

0:10:25.110 --> 0:10:27.230
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that something? Oh, man, I've got a couple of those, too,

0:10:27.270 --> 0:10:29.500
<v Speaker 3>and I think about, wow, when have I done that

0:10:29.580 --> 0:10:31.559
<v Speaker 3>or did I just do that? Where I left a

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 3>mark forever. Oh, those are rough. What's your worst parenting moment?

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.580
<v Speaker 3>Text line 415. Well, I got all kinds of good

0:10:39.660 --> 0:10:40.830
<v Speaker 3>ones today. Wow.

0:10:41.300 --> 0:10:42.690
<v Speaker 4>Nice job, Jack.

0:10:45.510 --> 0:10:46.150
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy.

0:10:46.290 --> 0:10:49.450
<v Speaker 4>So this was a nice job, though, when Jack and

0:10:49.750 --> 0:10:53.910
<v Speaker 4>I both got SimpliSafe home security. I mean, because I

0:10:53.950 --> 0:10:55.689
<v Speaker 4>think we've all had or a lot of us have

0:10:55.710 --> 0:10:57.929
<v Speaker 4>had old security systems that we ended up not using.

0:10:58.410 --> 0:11:01.130
<v Speaker 4>They were incredibly expensive. We had to sign two, three

0:11:01.190 --> 0:11:04.980
<v Speaker 4>year contracts and they sucked. Simply safe is the world's

0:11:05.059 --> 0:11:05.800

<v Speaker 3>lean on them for a little relief?

0:12:54.130 --> 0:12:57.230
<v Speaker 4>really funny, but a woman claimed to be a substitute

0:12:57.270 --> 0:12:59.250

0:12:59.330 --> 0:13:02.390
<v Speaker 4>Things went poorly from there. We've got that story for you.

<v Speaker 3>a good one. That's a good term, magic money. More

<v Speaker 4>Yay, because nobody knows how it ends. I think it'll

0:13:44.940 --> 0:13:49.050
<v Speaker 4>end great. So speaking of France and the problems with

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.010
<v Speaker 4>the schools, here's a gal in the Milwaukee area who

0:13:52.150 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 4>decides to impersonate a substitute teacher. Good Lord.

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 6>The 23-year-old, who's a former student at the school, told

0:13:59.920 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 6>police she was bored and hates kids and just wanted

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 6>to mess around. Her lawyer blames her mental health issues.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.580
<v Speaker 1>This Jones manages bipolar disorder and was experiencing an acute

0:14:10.620 --> 0:14:11.900
<v Speaker 1>manic episode.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.470
<v Speaker 6>Last The principal says the staff did not follow protocol

0:14:14.610 --> 0:14:17.579
<v Speaker 6>and the school is in the process of reviewing our safeguards.

0:14:17.700 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, in what way did they not follow protocol in

0:14:20.060 --> 0:14:24.220
<v Speaker 3>letting a mentally ill person come in and teach the kids?

0:14:24.620 --> 0:14:26.820
<v Speaker 4>An angry maniac who just said, I'm here to teach

0:14:26.860 --> 0:14:32.930
<v Speaker 4>the kids. All right, pick a classroom. Wow, what else happened?

0:14:33.670 --> 0:14:36.510
<v Speaker 6>She was then assigned to a class where students say

0:14:36.790 --> 0:14:41.060
<v Speaker 6>she used profane language, racial slurs, and organized students by

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 6>race and gender in the class. According to the complaint,

0:14:44.140 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 6>she told one boy he was fat, told others they

0:14:47.460 --> 0:14:50.070
<v Speaker 6>were the types of people to have incest, and told

0:14:50.230 --> 0:14:53.210
<v Speaker 6>one girl she would either become a stripper or a hooker.

0:14:53.230 --> 0:14:56.790
<v Speaker 3>You're an effing n-bomb. You're fat. You're going to be

0:14:56.810 --> 0:15:00.490
<v Speaker 3>a stripper when you grow up. Are you sure you didn't.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:05.330
<v Speaker 4>Follow your protocols? They didn't follow them well. One more

0:15:05.350 --> 0:15:06.010
<v Speaker 4>bit of audio.

0:15:06.650 --> 0:15:09.610
<v Speaker 5>Students also say Jones started playing rap music very loud

0:15:09.950 --> 0:15:13.330
<v Speaker 5>and dissed kids for their weight, race, looks, and money.

0:15:13.710 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 5>Even asking if any students had a vape or marijuana because, quote,

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.260
<v Speaker 5>the class was so lame and annoying.

0:15:20.500 --> 0:15:24.260
<v Speaker 4>No, she said effing lame and annoying. She bragged about

0:15:24.340 --> 0:15:27.260
<v Speaker 4>having felonies and being okay with going back to jail.

0:15:27.620 --> 0:15:28.860
<v Speaker 3>You're going to be a street.

0:15:30.100 --> 0:15:32.460
<v Speaker 4>Has anybody got some pot? Because this class is so

0:15:32.620 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 4>effingly annoying.

0:15:34.180 --> 0:15:37.390
<v Speaker 3>What was the age on this? The kids? We have that?

0:15:37.430 --> 0:15:39.290
<v Speaker 4>What grade? It's a high school.

0:15:39.470 --> 0:15:44.570
<v Speaker 3>Okay. I think in a high school, I would have

0:15:44.830 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 3>only been amused. I wouldn't have been hurt or shocked.

0:15:48.020 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I thought this is the funniest thing I've ever seen

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 3>in my life.

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.900
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Fatty. If it was like a menacing looking dude,

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.020
<v Speaker 4>that would be a different experience. But this is a

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.330
<v Speaker 4>23-year-old young woman.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.230
<v Speaker 3>Well, who's clearly just a nut. Right.

0:16:01.310 --> 0:16:03.810
<v Speaker 4>But here's the crazy part. The kids just kind of

0:16:03.870 --> 0:16:05.290
<v Speaker 4>hung with it for all the class.

0:16:05.510 --> 0:16:05.790
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:16:05.870 --> 0:16:07.530
<v Speaker 4>After they got out of the class, they went to

0:16:07.550 --> 0:16:11.670
<v Speaker 4>the staff and told them, hey, our substitute teacher's really odd.

0:16:12.270 --> 0:16:14.890
<v Speaker 4>And she was escorted out of the building by the police.

0:16:15.750 --> 0:16:18.450
<v Speaker 4>She said she hates kids and just wanted to F around.

0:16:18.470 --> 0:16:18.540
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:16:19.770 --> 0:16:20.050
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:16:22.210 --> 0:16:24.270
<v Speaker 3>My son was talking about how one of the teachers

0:16:24.850 --> 0:16:27.310
<v Speaker 3>out of nowhere launched into a, hey, don't have sex

0:16:27.390 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 3>after the dance this Friday night.

0:16:29.620 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 4>That caught everybody by surprise.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:34.660
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.140
<v Speaker 4>So here's the state of our public schools, and I've

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:42.260
<v Speaker 4>got some great writing about how Hannah Nicole Jones thing

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:46.230
<v Speaker 4>where she confesses that maybe she shouldn't have sacrificed her

0:16:46.270 --> 0:16:49.050
<v Speaker 4>child to go to the crappy local government schools, and

0:16:49.370 --> 0:16:51.150
<v Speaker 4>her kid resents the hell out of her for it,

0:16:51.170 --> 0:16:54.820
<v Speaker 4>and then Randy Weingarten, the most evil person in America,

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 4>the head of the big teachers union, responded with a

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 4>stream of ridiculousness and crap effluvium that was just unbelievable.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, so here in Milwaukee at this high school,

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 4>eight teachers were absent and only one of those absences

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.780
<v Speaker 4>was filled. So some yay who shows up. And says, yeah,

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm a substitute teacher. They're like, okay, great.

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 3>Where's the fat Mexican kids?

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:26.820
<v Speaker 4>Where's the hoes at?

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:28.700
<v Speaker 3>And do they have any pot?

0:17:29.500 --> 0:17:31.580
<v Speaker 4>And so they just said, yeah, how about you go

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:36.060
<v Speaker 4>to that one, class 102, go. Again, failing to follow

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:36.580
<v Speaker 4>the protocol.

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.419
<v Speaker 3>Can you play that second clip we played again where

0:17:38.460 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 3>it's got the list of the things she did?

0:17:40.900 --> 0:17:43.740
<v Speaker 6>She was then assigned to a class where students say

0:17:44.020 --> 0:17:48.290
<v Speaker 6>she used profane language, racial slurs, and organized students by

0:17:48.380 --> 0:17:51.330
<v Speaker 6>race and gender in the class. According to the complaint,

0:17:51.390 --> 0:17:54.669
<v Speaker 6>she told one boy he was fat, told others they

0:17:54.710 --> 0:17:57.290
<v Speaker 6>were the types of people to have incest, and told

0:17:57.490 --> 0:18:00.429
<v Speaker 6>one girl she would either become a stripper or a hooker.

0:18:00.450 --> 0:18:03.780
<v Speaker 3>I knew there was something I'd forgotten to dwell on.

0:18:05.220 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Cousin blankers.

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 3>You look like someone who'd have sex with their sister.

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:09.500
<v Speaker 3>What is that?

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 4>You're going to grow up to be a hoe. Oh,

0:18:12.619 --> 0:18:13.460
<v Speaker 4>my God.

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, my God.

0:18:14.740 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 4>And she presented no credentials? No assignment from the superintendent?

0:18:20.619 --> 0:18:23.770
<v Speaker 4>Just showed up. Government schools, man.

0:18:23.970 --> 0:18:26.430
<v Speaker 3>Wow. That is uncool.

0:18:27.830 --> 0:18:30.889
<v Speaker 4>Gender-bending madness update coming up next. Stay with us.

0:18:31.030 --> 0:18:37.430
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:18:40.770 --> 0:18:43.210
<v Speaker 3>If I am to believe this Wall Street Journal editorial

0:18:43.250 --> 0:18:47.030
<v Speaker 3>board piece today, and I do believe it, the reporting

0:18:47.230 --> 0:18:53.389
<v Speaker 3>on the French riots couldn't be more laughably misrepresentative of

0:18:53.450 --> 0:18:54.590
<v Speaker 3>what's actually happening.

0:18:55.390 --> 0:18:55.830
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah.

0:18:55.990 --> 0:18:56.190
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:18:56.210 --> 0:18:59.250
<v Speaker 4>As we discussed yesterday and I'm happy to discuss again today.

0:19:00.369 --> 0:19:04.130
<v Speaker 3>As it says in paragraph three, France doesn't have more

0:19:04.190 --> 0:19:06.650
<v Speaker 3>money to spend on schools because it doesn't have more

0:19:06.690 --> 0:19:09.690
<v Speaker 3>money to spend on anything. And it goes through how

0:19:09.710 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 3>broke France is, and there's no hope of getting out

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 3>of this.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.340
<v Speaker 3>Like, zero hope. Their economy grew last year 0.8%, and

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 3>it's supposed to be around 0.5% this year. See, we

0:19:23.580 --> 0:19:27.070
<v Speaker 3>spend like France, but we grow out of it. I

0:19:27.109 --> 0:19:29.630
<v Speaker 3>don't know how long we can pull that off. For

0:19:29.869 --> 0:19:31.609
<v Speaker 3>any on it, we're going to we're going to end

0:19:31.670 --> 0:19:34.359
<v Speaker 3>up in the same situation if we don't write our sales.

0:19:34.740 --> 0:19:37.070
<v Speaker 3>But they have no hope of growing out of it.

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:43.140
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And any attempt to rein in their incredibly unaffordable

0:19:43.180 --> 0:19:45.750
<v Speaker 4>welfare state is greeted with violence and mayhem like you're

0:19:45.770 --> 0:19:48.930
<v Speaker 4>seeing right now. This happens to be partly related to that.

0:19:48.990 --> 0:19:49.970
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, so there.

0:19:50.350 --> 0:19:52.750
<v Speaker 3>Called it in the Wall Street Journal a violent game

0:19:52.790 --> 0:19:56.470
<v Speaker 3>of musical chairs where no particular interest group wants to

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 3>be the last one without a chair, the one to

0:19:59.960 --> 0:20:01.879
<v Speaker 3>not get its funding because they're going to have to

0:20:01.900 --> 0:20:04.500
<v Speaker 3>start cutting people. And so you try to be the

0:20:04.619 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 3>squeaky wheel that gets it for schools or medicine or

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:10.940
<v Speaker 3>whatever it is, the thing, you know, all the tax

0:20:10.980 --> 0:20:11.700
<v Speaker 3>money is going to.

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:16.440
<v Speaker 4>Right, right. And significantly more Democrats in the United States

0:20:16.500 --> 0:20:19.300
<v Speaker 4>favor socialism than favor the free market or call it

0:20:19.340 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 4>capitalism if you want. I prefer not to. But in

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.550
<v Speaker 4>spite of the fact that Britain, France, Germany, Germany, less

0:20:26.570 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 4>so because different case, but They're all just seeing the

0:20:29.460 --> 0:20:32.640
<v Speaker 4>inevitable fruits of socialism. It happens over and over again.

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.610
<v Speaker 4>It has to happen. It's built in. It's not a bug.

0:20:35.660 --> 0:20:38.070
<v Speaker 4>It's a feature, as they say. More on that to come.

0:20:38.109 --> 0:20:41.290
<v Speaker 4>Right now, it's time for a gender-bending madness update.

0:20:41.690 --> 0:20:46.230
<v Speaker 6>So, I kept hearing about this thing called gender-bending madness.

0:20:48.430 --> 0:20:52.290
<v Speaker 2>They're locos. We're in a brave new world.

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 4>I got my rape lights going in the studio. Oh, yeah.

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 3>I took some ecstasy.

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.540
<v Speaker 4>Good man. Has it kicked in yet? So, a couple

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.139
<v Speaker 4>of stories to get to very briefly. First of all,

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 4>a headline from the New York Post, which surprised me

0:21:09.180 --> 0:21:10.750
<v Speaker 4>a little bit the way this is worded, but Trump

0:21:10.770 --> 0:21:16.550
<v Speaker 4>attacks Democratic Senate candidate Annie Andrews with anti-trans slur. He

0:21:16.830 --> 0:21:21.150
<v Speaker 4>is repeatedly, because of her sympathies with radical gender theory

0:21:21.230 --> 0:21:24.750
<v Speaker 4>and transgender athletes and that sort of thing, calling her

0:21:24.990 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 4>Annie Tranny Andrews, who's running against alleged simpleton Darlene Graham

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.859
<v Speaker 4>in the Senate in South Carolina. Used the term a

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 4>couple of times. We commented on this. He said she's

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:45.139
<v Speaker 4>in favor of transgender for everyone, open borders, defunding the police,

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.770
<v Speaker 4>high taxes, a weak military. Well, absolutely. Take your guns away,

0:21:48.830 --> 0:21:51.350
<v Speaker 4>et cetera, sir. But a lot of people are comment

0:21:51.490 --> 0:21:55.270
<v Speaker 4>or focusing rather on the Annie Tranny Andrews, which you used.

0:21:56.030 --> 0:21:59.250
<v Speaker 4>And I was somewhat dismissive of the idea that that

0:21:59.310 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 4>was a slur, which I'll explain in a minute. But

0:22:02.060 --> 0:22:04.899
<v Speaker 4>Randy writes, Tranny is a slur. It just is. And

0:22:04.980 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 4>that is a fact. When did you lose your compassion? Sorry,

0:22:08.140 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't bother you as a biological male, but it

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 4>does bother trans men and women. There are they are

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 4>a thing and it bothers them. You want to insult

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.540
<v Speaker 4>people so bad that you are ignoring hurting people who

0:22:17.580 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 4>have struggled. Talk to some trans girls. I know you

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 4>don't know any. It is just sad how bitter you

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 4>have become.

0:22:24.180 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 3>OK, well, to be specific, though, isn't. Wasn't tranny usually

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.350
<v Speaker 3>meaning transvestite as in a guy who dressed like a woman,

0:22:33.369 --> 0:22:37.730
<v Speaker 3>but he wasn't. Didn't think he was a woman. That

0:22:37.770 --> 0:22:41.190
<v Speaker 3>was before we discovered the idea that you are a

0:22:41.530 --> 0:22:42.930
<v Speaker 3>woman and trapped in a man's body.

0:22:43.470 --> 0:22:44.790
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what the history of the use of

0:22:44.810 --> 0:22:52.190
<v Speaker 4>that term is, honestly. And my rejection of the pretending

0:22:52.230 --> 0:22:58.260
<v Speaker 4>like it's some all powerful slur is, is a couple fold. Randy, uh,

0:22:58.450 --> 0:23:02.660
<v Speaker 4>number one, the left is constantly changing the language you

0:23:02.700 --> 0:23:05.580
<v Speaker 4>can and cannot use, has nothing to do with the words.

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 4>It has to do with your submission. And I choose

0:23:08.220 --> 0:23:12.180
<v Speaker 4>not to submit, um, And the question of, I mean,

0:23:12.330 --> 0:23:14.129
<v Speaker 4>obviously there are some racial slurs that are going to

0:23:14.170 --> 0:23:17.189
<v Speaker 4>cause a lot of problems if you use them. But

0:23:17.250 --> 0:23:22.170
<v Speaker 4>the problem is in the wake of the woke apocalypse,

0:23:22.290 --> 0:23:27.770
<v Speaker 4>critical theory, neo-Marxism, the post-modernists, et cetera, where critical theory,

0:23:27.830 --> 0:23:30.939
<v Speaker 4>the point of it is that you're critical. You problematize everything.

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 4>Everything anybody says, you say, oh, that means this. And

0:23:34.380 --> 0:23:37.540
<v Speaker 4>you've hurt people's feelings and you're a racist. And I'm like,

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:41.860
<v Speaker 4>I just ordered lunch. How am I racist? Your intentions

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:47.470
<v Speaker 4>don't matter. See, that's about submission too. And the idea

0:23:47.570 --> 0:23:55.380
<v Speaker 4>that A term like tranny, for instance, does it offend

0:23:55.500 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 4>people because they've been taught to be offended by it

0:23:59.980 --> 0:24:03.730
<v Speaker 4>because it gets them power? Or is it actually somehow

0:24:03.790 --> 0:24:08.949
<v Speaker 4>intrinsically offensive, that collection of sounds? Trans instead of tranny, as,

0:24:09.030 --> 0:24:10.850
<v Speaker 4>you know, if I was writing a dictionary, there's a

0:24:10.869 --> 0:24:13.110
<v Speaker 4>very small change at the very end of both those

0:24:13.170 --> 0:24:15.409
<v Speaker 4>words where you'd have a little different symbol for how

0:24:15.450 --> 0:24:19.100
<v Speaker 4>it's pronounced. So I'm not into the magic and incantation thing.

0:24:19.220 --> 0:24:21.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend or hurt anybody's feelings.

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:25.060
<v Speaker 4>And yes, I agree. Trans people have suffered greatly. I

0:24:25.100 --> 0:24:28.820
<v Speaker 4>think they have some significant emotional issues and I wish

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:33.270
<v Speaker 4>them nothing but health and happiness. Moving along. New York Times,

0:24:33.310 --> 0:24:36.790
<v Speaker 4>how Democrats have changed the way they talk about trans issues.

0:24:37.430 --> 0:24:41.889
<v Speaker 4>Democrats competing in a lot of especially purple territory issues.

0:24:42.540 --> 0:24:46.620
<v Speaker 4>are more aggressively responding to Republican tax, casting them as extreme.

0:24:46.660 --> 0:24:49.980
<v Speaker 4>Of course, it's a Republicans pounce style story. But here's

0:24:50.050 --> 0:24:54.430
<v Speaker 4>this longtime Democratic congresswoman in a tough race. She's running

0:24:54.490 --> 0:24:57.490
<v Speaker 4>an ad in which she says boys should not play

0:24:57.530 --> 0:25:01.810
<v Speaker 4>in girls sports. And that she is focused on making

0:25:01.869 --> 0:25:06.189
<v Speaker 4>your life more affordable. I think that's pretty notable. Who

0:25:06.250 --> 0:25:09.690
<v Speaker 4>is the Congress guy who? who said something like, I

0:25:09.730 --> 0:25:11.430
<v Speaker 4>worry about my daughters. I don't want them to get

0:25:11.530 --> 0:25:14.149
<v Speaker 4>run over. And then six months later, he walked it

0:25:14.230 --> 0:25:17.129
<v Speaker 4>back because he was in a blue area, even though

0:25:17.150 --> 0:25:19.369
<v Speaker 4>he's a father of little girls.

0:25:19.390 --> 0:25:20.030
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's weak.

0:25:20.650 --> 0:25:24.330
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's so weak. In North Carolina, vulnerable Democratic Congressman

0:25:24.369 --> 0:25:27.129
<v Speaker 4>Don Davis released a commercial that shows him stalking a

0:25:27.150 --> 0:25:30.120
<v Speaker 4>football field and saying that, quote, there are real concerns

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.580
<v Speaker 4>about fairness and safety in youth sports, and there should

0:25:32.619 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 4>always be a safe and fair space for women and

0:25:34.940 --> 0:25:41.020
<v Speaker 4>girls in sports. So that is, that's progress, I think.

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:42.700
<v Speaker 4>Of course, the New York Times has to put it,

0:25:43.460 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 4>several of the country's most competitive congressional battlegrounds, a leading

0:25:46.700 --> 0:25:50.540
<v Speaker 4>progressive super PAC is running ads describing Republicans as obsessed

0:25:50.580 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 4>with transgender people and distracted from rising prices. I suggest

0:25:54.460 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 4>you stop mutilating children. But anyway, I thought that was

0:25:57.619 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 4>notable that the New York Times was conceding that.

0:26:01.220 --> 0:26:08.649
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes, one side or the other, you know, tries to

0:26:08.710 --> 0:26:13.950
<v Speaker 3>paint somebody with a minor issue and you get obsessed

0:26:13.990 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 3>with it or you can call somebody obsessed with it.

0:26:15.859 --> 0:26:20.200
<v Speaker 3>And in this particular case of the boys and girls sports,

0:26:21.380 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I think it's different in that that's all I need

0:26:23.580 --> 0:26:25.260
<v Speaker 3>to know about you. I don't need to know a

0:26:25.540 --> 0:26:28.169
<v Speaker 3>single other thing about you. If you think it's OK

0:26:28.210 --> 0:26:31.230
<v Speaker 3>for dudes to play girls sports, you're a nut and

0:26:31.250 --> 0:26:32.929
<v Speaker 3>I don't want you to be in office.

0:26:33.350 --> 0:26:35.129
<v Speaker 4>I don't care what your other policies are.

0:26:35.170 --> 0:26:35.630
<v Speaker 3>You're a nut.

0:26:36.460 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 4>And we've talked about this plenty of times, so I'll

0:26:39.100 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 4>give you the short version this time. But the point

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 4>of the postmodernist, the critical theory guys, is that they

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:52.659
<v Speaker 4>want to talk you out of any objective standard. The

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:56.020
<v Speaker 4>only objective standard is what the party tells you it is.

0:26:57.020 --> 0:26:59.649
<v Speaker 4>There's no difference between male and female. It's entirely a

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 4>social construct built by those who have power. And so

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 4>to claim, no, there are men and there are women

0:27:07.140 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 4>and men shouldn't be in women's sports. Boys shouldn't be

0:27:09.100 --> 0:27:12.790
<v Speaker 4>in girls sports. That's to deny their premise that there

0:27:13.030 --> 0:27:16.129
<v Speaker 4>are bedrock facts that you can count on. And I

0:27:16.190 --> 0:27:19.810
<v Speaker 4>know not everybody gets into the philosophical underpinnings of political movements,

0:27:20.150 --> 0:27:22.350
<v Speaker 4>but I know what it is. And I will not

0:27:22.470 --> 0:27:25.670
<v Speaker 4>submit to that. I will not say up is down

0:27:25.770 --> 0:27:28.490
<v Speaker 4>and black is white because once you lose your internal

0:27:28.540 --> 0:27:32.990
<v Speaker 4>sense of truth, they have you. That's the point. Uh, Well,

0:27:33.290 --> 0:27:35.590
<v Speaker 4>that and I don't like seeing little girls get beat

0:27:35.670 --> 0:27:39.310
<v Speaker 4>down by boys playing sports. So, yeah, it's much more

0:27:39.350 --> 0:27:43.190
<v Speaker 4>important than just a few players on fields. Moving along,

0:27:43.590 --> 0:27:48.070
<v Speaker 4>a New York jury just awarded $ 2 million. Funny, this

0:27:48.150 --> 0:27:50.810
<v Speaker 4>isn't getting picked up in the mainstream media much at all.

0:27:51.390 --> 0:27:54.369
<v Speaker 4>Just awarded $ 2 million to a young woman who underwent

0:27:54.410 --> 0:27:58.530
<v Speaker 4>a double mastectomy at 16 and later, quote unquote, detransitioned.

0:27:58.730 --> 0:27:59.629
<v Speaker 3>I hadn't heard that story.

0:28:00.130 --> 0:28:03.550
<v Speaker 4>The jury found her psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice.

0:28:03.730 --> 0:28:07.290
<v Speaker 4>Her case alleged, and this will sound so familiar to you,

0:28:07.350 --> 0:28:10.379
<v Speaker 4>it's hardly even worth reading. Her case alleged that serious

0:28:10.450 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 4>mental health issues, including depression, body dysmorphia, anorexia, autism spectrum traits,

0:28:15.780 --> 0:28:20.360
<v Speaker 4>were not adequately addressed before an irreversible procedure was performed

0:28:20.500 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 4>on a minor. Now watch what happens when someone like

0:28:23.380 --> 0:28:26.990
<v Speaker 4>her speaks publicly, writes Gene Robinson. For years, we were

0:28:27.020 --> 0:28:30.140
<v Speaker 4>told regret was exceedingly rare. We were told these procedures

0:28:30.180 --> 0:28:33.460
<v Speaker 4>were necessary care. We were told questioning the process itself

0:28:33.500 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 4>was dangerous. And when a detransitioner stands up and says,

0:28:36.580 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 4>this happened to me, suddenly she becomes the problem. This

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:44.620
<v Speaker 4>is the tell. When evidence supports the narrative, it is celebrated.

0:28:44.900 --> 0:28:48.790
<v Speaker 4>When evidence contradicts the narrative, the person carrying the evidence

0:28:48.830 --> 0:28:52.170
<v Speaker 4>gets attacked. A jury heard the testimony, a jury examined

0:28:52.190 --> 0:28:54.670
<v Speaker 4>the evidence, a jury found malpractice, and a jury put

0:28:54.690 --> 0:28:57.990
<v Speaker 4>the damages at $ 2 million. You don't protect vulnerable young

0:28:58.030 --> 0:29:00.470
<v Speaker 4>people by demanding silence from the ones who come back

0:29:00.510 --> 0:29:03.970
<v Speaker 4>and said, I wish someone had slowed them down. You

0:29:04.010 --> 0:29:07.380
<v Speaker 4>protect them by listening. That's some great writing. And speaking

0:29:07.410 --> 0:29:10.380
<v Speaker 4>of great writing, we will end this gender-bending madness update

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 4>with the fabulous J.K. Rowling. Or do you say Rowling?

0:29:16.370 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 4>And she is responding to the absolute skyrocketing and then

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:27.180
<v Speaker 4>practically vanishing of genital surgeries by age group, in this

0:29:27.260 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 4>case in Germany. Pointing out that in 2005, very few

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:34.330
<v Speaker 4>people received any of these surgeries.

0:29:34.330 --> 0:29:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm surprised anyone did.

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 4>In the whole of Germany. It was 120 in the

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:40.180
<v Speaker 4>whole of Germany of any age. Then in 2025, it

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 4>was 4,200.

0:29:40.300 --> 0:29:40.420
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:42.340
<v Speaker 4>From 120 to a 4,200. And the shift in age

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:54.650
<v Speaker 4>distribution is staggering. Staggering. Surgeries on 18 to 25-year-olds were

0:29:54.930 --> 0:30:00.700
<v Speaker 4>non-existent in the aughts, just, you know, the 2000s. Now

0:30:00.740 --> 0:30:06.140
<v Speaker 4>they dominate every other group by a large factor. So

0:30:06.420 --> 0:30:09.350
<v Speaker 4>it was that that J.K. Rowling was commenting on when

0:30:09.460 --> 0:30:13.260
<v Speaker 4>she wrote... But it couldn't be social contagion, folks. It's

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:17.060
<v Speaker 4>just that young people, especially autistic, gay, and mentally ill ones,

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:20.340
<v Speaker 4>are finally free to be their authentic selves. The sudden

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.570
<v Speaker 4>explosion of young women who want to cut off their

0:30:22.590 --> 0:30:26.250
<v Speaker 4>healthy breasts and take testosterone, well, it's absolutely not the

0:30:26.290 --> 0:30:29.690
<v Speaker 4>newest form of self-harm to which troubled adolescent girls are

0:30:29.810 --> 0:30:34.020
<v Speaker 4>provably prone, okay? It's not a consequence of the commonplace

0:30:34.060 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 4>fear of becoming an adult woman with all that that entails. No,

0:30:37.740 --> 0:30:41.380
<v Speaker 4>there's nothing to worry about there. The possibility of regret? Naturally,

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 4>we don't let minors get tattoos or own guns or

0:30:44.180 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 4>vote because that would be ridiculous. But if they want

0:30:47.270 --> 0:30:50.850
<v Speaker 4>irreversible surgeries and drug treatments, they must be given them.

0:30:51.110 --> 0:30:53.670
<v Speaker 4>And everyone around them must immediately agree that they are

0:30:53.710 --> 0:30:56.810
<v Speaker 4>now the opposite sex. That's called being kind. and the

0:30:56.850 --> 0:31:00.690
<v Speaker 4>mounting number of detransitioners, they were never trans, obviously, and

0:31:00.730 --> 0:31:04.140
<v Speaker 4>should be mercilessly attacked, especially if they now say they

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:07.340
<v Speaker 4>were vulnerable and in a friendship group, online or off,

0:31:07.460 --> 0:31:11.020
<v Speaker 4>dominated by trans identities, where transitioning was presented as a

0:31:11.060 --> 0:31:14.550
<v Speaker 4>way to resolve all their social and emotional difficulties. I

0:31:14.630 --> 0:31:17.690
<v Speaker 4>have the emails, she writes. No, there's nothing whatsoever to

0:31:17.750 --> 0:31:20.710
<v Speaker 4>see here. Just keep justifying it. Keep cheering it on.

0:31:20.970 --> 0:31:23.890
<v Speaker 4>Keep insisting that the doctors and drug companies making serious

0:31:23.950 --> 0:31:25.590
<v Speaker 4>money out of all of it are acting with the

0:31:25.650 --> 0:31:29.570
<v Speaker 4>purest of motives. Answer every reasonable question with an accusation

0:31:29.590 --> 0:31:33.910
<v Speaker 4>of hatred and bigotry. Dispel every qualm of conscience with

0:31:33.950 --> 0:31:37.940
<v Speaker 4>an activist-approved talking point. Reassure yourself that everyone on your

0:31:37.980 --> 0:31:40.900
<v Speaker 4>dinner party circuit agrees with you. And when, in years

0:31:40.940 --> 0:31:43.140
<v Speaker 4>to come, we're all looking back on graphs like this,

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:47.340
<v Speaker 4>be proud that you did your bit to... bash whistleblowers

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.540
<v Speaker 4>parrot unevidenced claims and create the climate of fear that

0:31:50.580 --> 0:31:53.860
<v Speaker 4>allowed the worst medical scandal in a century to take

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 4>place and i would add and it took place on

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:00.740
<v Speaker 4>children that's a gender bending madness.

0:32:00.420 --> 0:32:07.330
<v Speaker 3>Update good for her she uh jk rowling really she

0:32:07.530 --> 0:32:11.930
<v Speaker 3>she spent a lot of capital on on this.

0:32:12.610 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 4>She's a woman of conscience who cares about the kids.

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 3>It does help to be ungodly rich to where you can,

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:17.459
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:32:18.380 --> 0:32:21.940
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't know. But yes, yes, it would have to help. Yeah.

0:32:22.020 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 4>Good for her. So speaking of money management, a lot

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:29.780
<v Speaker 4>of like financial planning companies and just the whole topic

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:33.020
<v Speaker 4>kind of stinks of, you know, Wall Street and hedge

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:36.570
<v Speaker 4>funds and fancy pants in this. Whereas a lot of

0:32:36.610 --> 0:32:38.990
<v Speaker 4>folks who listen to the show have worked hard and

0:32:39.050 --> 0:32:40.989
<v Speaker 4>built up a built a bit of wealth, but they

0:32:41.030 --> 0:32:43.250
<v Speaker 4>don't need the fancy stuff. You ought to get in

0:32:43.370 --> 0:32:45.630

<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. It's King

0:33:43.990 --> 0:33:44.790
<v Speaker 2>against the captain.

0:33:46.970 --> 0:33:48.510
<v Speaker 3>First pitch swinging towards short.

0:33:48.670 --> 0:33:50.090
<v Speaker 4>It's grabbed by Beaumont.

0:33:50.110 --> 0:33:50.850
<v Speaker 2>Step-turned safety.

0:33:50.870 --> 0:33:53.190
<v Speaker 4>Game over.

0:33:53.250 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 2>And San Diego survives.

0:34:00.260 --> 0:34:01.620
<v Speaker 3>That was about as good a double play as you're

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.140
<v Speaker 3>going to see to end that game in the Padres' one.

0:34:04.260 --> 0:34:06.980
<v Speaker 3>So it's now 2-1 Brewers over the Padres.

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.100
<v Speaker 4>Or Baxter against the Walls.

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Baseball playoff playoff baseball is absolutely amazing, but it tends

0:34:14.140 --> 0:34:16.580
<v Speaker 3>to be a regional sport where it's either a team

0:34:16.620 --> 0:34:18.110
<v Speaker 3>you're into or it's not. And if you're not into it,

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:21.299
<v Speaker 3>people don't watch it near as much as opposed to

0:34:21.340 --> 0:34:25.060
<v Speaker 3>like football where you'll watch two teams 2000 miles away

0:34:25.100 --> 0:34:26.140
<v Speaker 3>from you for whatever reason.

0:34:26.750 --> 0:34:28.870
<v Speaker 4>We just do part of it in the playoffs is

0:34:28.910 --> 0:34:33.969
<v Speaker 4>that it's a one and done in the NFL. That helps. Yeah.

0:34:34.010 --> 0:34:36.009
<v Speaker 3>Um, but this was kind of funny. This happened during

0:34:36.050 --> 0:34:37.529
<v Speaker 3>the game and you don't need to know anything about

0:34:37.590 --> 0:34:39.570
<v Speaker 3>sports about this. This is something they started doing a

0:34:39.590 --> 0:34:42.660
<v Speaker 3>couple of years ago where during the game, they'll go

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:47.100
<v Speaker 3>down and interview the manager. Or players sometimes. But they'll

0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:48.860
<v Speaker 3>talk to the manager in the dugout. And the game's

0:34:48.900 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 3>going on. A very important playoff game where they're making

0:34:51.660 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 3>decisions on a moment-by-moment basis. But anyway, they were interviewing

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.710
<v Speaker 3>the Brewers manager while the game was going on.

0:34:58.750 --> 0:35:01.330
<v Speaker 4>This is how it unfolded. Nick Pavetta, it's the classic

0:35:01.350 --> 0:35:03.630
<v Speaker 4>high-low game. You've seen it before. How do you like

0:35:03.650 --> 0:35:05.810
<v Speaker 4>the approach so far early on? Yeah, we've been a

0:35:05.850 --> 0:35:07.589
<v Speaker 4>little antsy. I think we've swung it some good.

0:35:07.630 --> 0:35:09.989
<v Speaker 3>Get in the gap, Sal. God damn it, Merrill.

0:35:10.010 --> 0:35:11.010
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:35:17.820 --> 0:35:19.839
<v Speaker 3>What are you going to do? He got all worked

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:20.299
<v Speaker 3>up about it.

0:35:20.500 --> 0:35:22.500
<v Speaker 4>Dropped a GD bomb on the guy making a nice

0:35:22.540 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 4>play on his hitter. He's into it.

0:35:26.860 --> 0:35:27.580
<v Speaker 2>What do you expect?

0:35:28.020 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 3>You're interviewing these guys during the game. Are they supposed

0:35:31.060 --> 0:35:32.089
<v Speaker 3>to just drop what they're doing?

0:35:32.110 --> 0:35:34.630
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:35:36.670 --> 0:35:38.150
<v Speaker 3>This is annoying. Do you want annoying?

0:35:39.150 --> 0:35:40.529
<v Speaker 4>Not particularly, but go ahead.

0:35:42.130 --> 0:35:43.750
<v Speaker 3>So I just saw the first part of it and

0:35:43.790 --> 0:35:46.430
<v Speaker 3>I thought, OK, cool. He's he's he's he's taken a

0:35:46.469 --> 0:35:48.710
<v Speaker 3>day off today. Good for him. No, he did not.

0:35:48.750 --> 0:35:51.650
<v Speaker 3>Who am I talking about? The mayor of New York City,

0:35:51.890 --> 0:36:00.069
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Mamdani. This was his tweet today on October 7th,

0:36:00.110 --> 0:36:03.140
<v Speaker 3>the three year anniversary of the horror that happened at

0:36:03.180 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 3>the hands of Hamas in Israel. I just saw the

0:36:05.780 --> 0:36:07.779
<v Speaker 3>first paragraph, and then when you click on it, you

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.290
<v Speaker 3>see the rest of it. This day is profoundly painful

0:36:10.390 --> 0:36:12.950
<v Speaker 3>for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since

0:36:12.989 --> 0:36:15.629
<v Speaker 3>the horrific war crimes of October 7th. On that day,

0:36:15.670 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others.

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:22.299
<v Speaker 3>We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still

0:36:22.340 --> 0:36:24.359
<v Speaker 3>carry that unthinkable loss. And I thought, okay, that's cool

0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:29.090
<v Speaker 3>that you said that. Then he goes into the suffering

0:36:29.130 --> 0:36:32.500
<v Speaker 3>did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued

0:36:32.540 --> 0:36:36.420
<v Speaker 3>through the Israeli government's devastating ongoing genocide in Gaza.

0:36:36.860 --> 0:36:39.440
<v Speaker 4>It's not a genocide by any stretch of the imagination in.

0:36:39.420 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 3>Which by Marxist rhetoric in which Israel has killed more

0:36:42.300 --> 0:36:46.760
<v Speaker 3>than 74,000 Palestinians. That's the numbers Hamas give you. So,

0:36:46.780 --> 0:36:47.779
<v Speaker 3>of course, you go with them.

0:36:48.150 --> 0:36:51.630
<v Speaker 4>Including not differentiating between combatants and civilians.

0:36:51.670 --> 0:36:51.870
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:36:52.050 --> 0:36:53.450
<v Speaker 3>Including more than 21,000 children. Hamas's numbers.

0:36:55.510 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 4>Did he mention that Hamas openly uses human shields? Did

0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:00.620
<v Speaker 4>he work that into his statement? I'm just curious.

0:37:00.900 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have

0:37:04.380 --> 0:37:07.569
<v Speaker 3>been killed. Listen to this. That suffering has intensified with

0:37:07.739 --> 0:37:12.930
<v Speaker 3>every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals. Yes,

0:37:12.969 --> 0:37:17.089
<v Speaker 3>that's what Israel's doing, bombing ambulances outside of hospitals. Every

0:37:17.150 --> 0:37:21.819
<v Speaker 3>drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist. And every

0:37:21.940 --> 0:37:24.320
<v Speaker 3>shipment of food aid turned away at the border crossing.

0:37:24.700 --> 0:37:28.630
<v Speaker 3>Can you believe the freaking mayor of New York is

0:37:28.710 --> 0:37:32.210
<v Speaker 3>so in love with Hamas that he repeats their lies

0:37:32.290 --> 0:37:37.719
<v Speaker 3>about this crap? There is no justifying that claim. Are

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 3>you completely unaware, mayor, that they hide under buildings, all

0:37:42.380 --> 0:37:44.800
<v Speaker 3>that sort of stuff and call it an apartment building?

0:37:45.390 --> 0:37:49.590
<v Speaker 4>Tunnels under hospitals. Yeah, exactly. He's an Islamist. Hey, America,

0:37:49.670 --> 0:37:52.049
<v Speaker 4>look at England. Look at France. You want that? Keep

0:37:52.070 --> 0:37:52.990
<v Speaker 4>walking down this road.

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:55.860
<v Speaker 3>Even on today, October 7th, he couldn't keep his mouth

0:37:55.940 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 3>shut about that. That's amazing.

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.
