Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arm Strong, arm Strong and Jettie.
Speaker 2: And ge.
Speaker 3: Arm Strong and Strong.
Speaker 1: I have successfully used a pet psychic exclamation point. My
Speaker 1: first disclaimer should be that I'm a scientist. I feel
Speaker 1: like you'd be more specific if you were like a
Speaker 1: particular kind of scientist. Then just say I am a scientist.
Speaker 3: Maybe I only do you set aside disbelief, all right.
Speaker 1: I do not believe in voodoo, but this had me
Speaker 1: completely convinced. I had a senior cat who all of
Speaker 1: a sudden started peeing on me.
Speaker 3: No idea why.
Speaker 1: The vet ruled out all bladder and other health issues
Speaker 1: and wanted me to put him on kitty prozac. That's
Speaker 1: a thing at my wits end. I happened to hear
Speaker 1: about a local pet psychic, and I thought, what the.
Speaker 3: Hell, it can't hurt, all right?
Speaker 1: The woman said my cat had arthritis in his hips
Speaker 1: and that his legs hurt. She referred me to a
Speaker 1: cat acupuncturist. Again, I'm feeling like a California idiot even
Speaker 1: considering this, but I gave it a try.
Speaker 3: Holy yes, what a difference.
Speaker 1: The cat sat down and started purring immediately after the
Speaker 1: first needle. When we got home, he ran around like
Speaker 1: a kitten. That's all it took for me to become
Speaker 1: a believer. Pardon any typos, I am a now a
Speaker 1: believer in pet.
Speaker 3: Psychic, a cat upuncturist.
Speaker 1: She took him to the doctor, and they didn't figure
Speaker 1: out that they had hit problems, but the psychic and
Speaker 1: the acupuncturist did.
Speaker 3: Okay, I suppose that's possible. Sure it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I've been disappointed in vets and somebody
Speaker 4: who deals with a lot of cats, and I'm walking
Speaker 4: a little funny. But it's got to hit problems. The
Speaker 4: idea that acupuncture cured them. There hasn't been a great
Speaker 4: deal of science to bear out the validity of that.
Speaker 1: The fact that the psychic, the fact that the psychic
Speaker 1: figured anything out by reading the mind.
Speaker 3: Of your pet. That did not happen. That did not
Speaker 3: happen at all on any level.
Speaker 1: Maybe you had a psychic who you know, I had
Speaker 1: a cat with the same problem, But but I know what
Speaker 1: it is that might have happened.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sure, what did you say? The going rate
Speaker 3: is in LA for a pets right now.
Speaker 4: But that's like if I showed up to an off
Speaker 4: you know, a brand, a non licensed garage dentist, and
Speaker 4: he told me invest young, because compound interest really is
Speaker 4: a big factor. I mean, Okay, he's right, He's absolutely right,
Speaker 4: But that doesn't mean he was a skilled dentist. And
Speaker 4: if a so called cats psychic tells you, you know,
Speaker 4: things walking a little.
Speaker 3: Funny but excusing me have problems, that doesn't make them
Speaker 3: a psychic.
Speaker 1: I knew an animal communicator for live pets. She would
Speaker 1: tell the owner what their pet was thinking and feeling.
Speaker 1: Once she found a dog was trying to find the owner,
Speaker 1: I asked her, why why didn't you just ask where
Speaker 1: it lived?
Speaker 3: It's a good question. Dogs don't relate to addresses. You're
Speaker 3: probably right about that.
Speaker 1: There's some belief that it tends to be women more
Speaker 1: than men who buy into the whole pet psychic thing
Speaker 1: by large numbers. I am guessing any thought on that, Jatie.
Speaker 3: Oh thank god, I don't really relate to any of this. Well,
Speaker 3: do you think it's more likely women are into it
Speaker 3: than men? I just feel like, I mean, I guess
Speaker 3: I could.
Speaker 5: I definitely if I were to picture someone taking their
Speaker 5: animal to a pet psychic. I'm not picturing a dude
Speaker 5: doing that. This is all very strange to me, and
Speaker 5: I don't want to talk too much smack because there
Speaker 5: are people that are obviously believing in this way.
Speaker 1: What's interesting about the whole land of fruits and nuts
Speaker 1: and California being wacky and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: It earns its reputation.
Speaker 4: It is bigger nowhere than Los Angeles, this trend, which
Speaker 4: is not that shocking.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this though, I don't have.
Speaker 4: Any desire to be little people away a different emotion,
Speaker 4: who have a different emotional makeup, how they learn.
Speaker 3: How they learn.
Speaker 5: You're right, Michael Jack, I am holding back so hard
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's three to one. Let the belittling begin.
Speaker 4: Just remember, folks, Joe wanted to be merciful. Now, I'm
Speaker 4: looking at this Pew Research Center poll, over fifty percent
Speaker 4: of Americans see their pets not so much as domesticated dogs,
Speaker 4: cats and gerbils and the like, but rather quote as
Speaker 4: much a part of their family as a human member.
Speaker 4: So if you're if in some bizarre scenario you could
Speaker 4: save either your dog or your son, you would have
Speaker 4: to flip a coin. I think that's cuckoo nuts. But again,
Speaker 4: to each their own.
Speaker 1: Well, you'd spend every cent you have to save your
Speaker 1: kid in a medical situation, right if it required it.
Speaker 1: Would you do that for your dog? Would you go
Speaker 1: completely broke?
Speaker 3: No? I mean you would never say about a child.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We've already spent a lot of money, and that's Keina.
Speaker 1: That's going to really put a denis, So go ahead
Speaker 1: and put them down like that. That's not a thing.
Speaker 4: But Ryan, I remember we talked about this years and
Speaker 4: years ago when we took calls, and it became very
Speaker 4: very clear that there are different levels of belief that
Speaker 4: a dog, for instance, has the same rights and you
Speaker 4: have the same responsibilities as you would towards say, a
Speaker 4: human child.
Speaker 3: We talked to quite a.
Speaker 4: Few people who said I would absolutely spend every dime
Speaker 4: I had and then borrow every dime I could for
Speaker 4: treatments for my dog, even if it put me one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars in debt.
Speaker 3: And they were completely sincere about it. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: don't doubt that.
Speaker 1: I think you're nuts now, you're not a pet owner
Speaker 1: in someplace, Remember Santa Cruz changed the law.
Speaker 3: There, you're a pet guardian. Some paperwork involved in that.
Speaker 4: Exactly, you can't call yourself an owner because that's like slavery,
Speaker 4: very similar out, very similar to slavery. Here's Sonya Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 4: She's a famous British animal communicator. You may know her
Speaker 4: from the Oh. I guess this isn't aired yet, but
Speaker 4: Animal Planet is green lit her show, The Pet Psychic.
Speaker 4: She susses out what bothers the likes of monkeys and roosters,
Speaker 4: as well as dogs and cats and the usual menagerie.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: When you're a pet psychic, apparently any animal, monkey, snake, gerbil, whatever,
Speaker 1: you can read their mind equally.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, who is your monkey pissed off at you?
Speaker 4: That's one mad monkey. Oh man, that's a pissed off monkey.
Speaker 3: Let's see psychics working with racehorses.
Speaker 4: Ah, here's a gal who specializes in rabbits.
Speaker 1: Let's see he feels, he feels he's just going in
Speaker 1: circles and what's the point, says the race horse.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm just running around in sir.
Speaker 4: And here's this other guy, kid, here's this other guy
Speaker 4: who's seen Comodo dragons and once Michael oh Bob in Texas.
Speaker 4: There's nothing that I won't see, he says. Some of
Speaker 4: the most fascinating animals that I've worked with would have
Speaker 4: to be for a camel, for example. I've also worked
Speaker 4: with quite a few aquatic species. I work with a
Speaker 4: tortoise in Florida, and I love the energy of the tortoise.
Speaker 4: I tell you what I wish I had. The cajon
Speaker 4: used to be a Charlotte and like you, sir, good
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 1: I really hate it when the midgets hit me with
Speaker 1: the sticks once again. The race horse not using the
Speaker 1: nomenclature of the day, But you can't count on horses
Speaker 1: to be up on the latest PC.
Speaker 4: Terms because there are horses right Here's a little illustration
Speaker 4: for you. I'm going to have to use my descriptive
Speaker 4: powers which are so well known because this is a photograph.
Speaker 4: But here's this woman lying on a furry rug with
Speaker 4: her head on a pillow outside out of doors. She
Speaker 4: is surrounded by candles and like those little bowls, singing
Speaker 4: bowls to rub.
Speaker 3: The malady thing around, and they make various times. Almost
Speaker 3: bought one the same day I almost bought the gong.
Speaker 4: And there's a receiving there's a big crystal thing, and
Speaker 4: she's lying on her back with her eyes closed amidst
Speaker 4: all of this like new agey stuff, with her hand
Speaker 4: resting on her dalmatian as the pet psychic leads the session.
Speaker 3: You know, that's whatever gets you through the night, making
Speaker 3: it really hard not to ridicule.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, since we had psychics on in the past,
Speaker 1: and dream analysts were the same way, you realize mostly
Speaker 1: it was taken advantage of people who were either in
Speaker 1: a bag. They're needy for a variety of reasons. Either
Speaker 1: there and that's just their demeanor, or they've gone through
Speaker 1: a really hard time. And sometimes when really bad things
Speaker 1: happen in your life, you just need any relief.
Speaker 3: And again, not psychic.
Speaker 4: Communicator, please communicator, right, pet communicator.
Speaker 3: I'm talking to a giant tortoise. I'm not being a psychicator.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1: The tortoise among beasts who ain't thinking nothing, tortoise ain't
Speaker 1: got a thought in its head.
Speaker 5: Honestly, these people try to talk to like those murder
Speaker 5: hornets or something like that, something dangerous. Yeah, you a beast,
Speaker 5: a great white shark.
Speaker 3: Turtles ain't thinking nothing strange.
Speaker 4: The good folks that lives of TikTok, one or more
Speaker 4: of them somehow posed as a thirteen year old girl
Speaker 4: and called an organization called Trans Youth Equality Foundation and
Speaker 4: talk to its director, Susan Mosh, again portraying themselves as
Speaker 4: a thirteen year old girl and asking for advice on
Speaker 4: a variety of topics. And this is what it sounded like.
Speaker 4: Michael will start with seventy go from there.
Speaker 6: So for you, you and your child would have to
Speaker 6: go out of state.
Speaker 2: Correct, Well, I'm actually the child.
Speaker 3: I'm thirteen.
Speaker 2: Oh hot, your voice sounded like a park voice.
Speaker 6: Have you talked to your parents about your care?
Speaker 2: Well, my parents are very transphobic and they do not
Speaker 2: support my transition, or you know if.
Speaker 4: He and fro.
Speaker 6: Sometimes kids decide by time they're sixteen ish to get emancipated,
Speaker 6: as they say, to say.
Speaker 2: Get a little job and be on their own, which
Speaker 2: probably sounds terrible and hard, but it could happen.
Speaker 3: It does for some.
Speaker 2: And when they're on their own and they're emancipated, they
Speaker 2: can make their own decisions about what medical treatment they want.
Speaker 4: You job, this is a thirteen year old girl at
Speaker 4: least ostensibly right. And this is the millionth example of
Speaker 4: there's no counseling, there's no what else is going on?
Speaker 3: Oh you were raped as a child.
Speaker 4: Oh you have anxiety and depression, you have various you're autistic.
Speaker 3: These activists don't care.
Speaker 2: Next clip, how do you deal with transphobic parents? You know,
Speaker 2: of course, would you hear about parents that will get crazy?
Speaker 2: Say absolutely, no, no way, blah blah. This is dumb,
Speaker 2: This is unhealthy. And it depends on how right wing
Speaker 2: leaning they are, depends on how religious they are, that
Speaker 2: kind of thing, far.
Speaker 6: Right right like Trumpsters.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Some of these people are really brainwashed. You know, it's
Speaker 2: like brainwashing techniques. You know, it's a sad state of affairs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The people that believe a thirteen year old girls shouldn't
Speaker 1: become a boy on her own without the parents knowing
Speaker 1: are the that's the brainwashed crowd.
Speaker 3: How about another one, Michael, do.
Speaker 2: You think your parents expect you to go to college
Speaker 2: one day?
Speaker 3: Definitely?
Speaker 6: I mean, because I mean, if you could be brave
Speaker 6: and get yourself to think about a college, it's not
Speaker 6: they don't have to know.
Speaker 2: That's why you're going, just like you know you can
Speaker 2: be like that's I want to go to.
Speaker 6: Boston so bad, to so many colleges there.
Speaker 2: You know you can make the reasons and you're sure
Speaker 2: you heard the expression chosen family. You'll find your chosen family.
Speaker 2: You know that one day that will be like friends
Speaker 2: that accept you become more like your family.
Speaker 1: You know, Man, if you're talking to my kid like that,
Speaker 1: I would want to kill you.
Speaker 3: And then finally this, I'm.
Speaker 7: Just starting, like I've been identifying with key hinds run
Speaker 7: on for a while, but.
Speaker 3: I would like to start off with a binder. So
Speaker 3: are there any resources that.
Speaker 2: You guys have for me to get a binder? Well?
Speaker 2: Would you have binders?
Speaker 6: So I could definitely send you some.
Speaker 2: I just would need to know where to send it,
Speaker 2: because sometimes you're really young, a parent's a box, come in,
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, what the heck is this? Why
Speaker 2: are you getting a box? You know what you order
Speaker 2: and then they kind of take it away when they
Speaker 2: find out what it is. But some people know it
Speaker 2: to a front's house or a relative's house. But if
Speaker 2: you could think of a way that you would be
Speaker 2: able to get it, you know, we would definitely send you.
Speaker 3: Some thirteen year old girl.
Speaker 4: Being taught how to evade her parents' attention, to mislead them,
Speaker 4: and to get a binder so she can flatten her
Speaker 4: breasts because she wants to look like a boy again
Speaker 4: at age thirteen. And of course, no screening, no talk
Speaker 4: about any other psychological problems, just all right, here's how
Speaker 4: you do it. And I would love to know the
Speaker 4: percentages of these people who are avowed neo Marxists. The
Speaker 4: idea of being if you can establish a queer identity,
Speaker 4: which is a blanket term that's not a specific thing,
Speaker 4: is a blanket term that means I'm against society as
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 3: I'm queer.
Speaker 4: Look at me, I'm a rebel because maybe you're not
Speaker 4: lesbian or gay, you're a transgender, or maybe they didn't
Speaker 4: get you through the Black Lives Matter thing. Tear down
Speaker 4: the system, tear down the system. It's all about tearing
Speaker 4: down the system. And they know they've got to turn
Speaker 4: the kids against their parents, because the parents will settle
Speaker 4: them down and say, yeah, they're obviously flaws with a system,
Speaker 4: but how about you work to fix them to make
Speaker 4: them better. Volunteer, become an attorney, something like that. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: no no, they want to turn them into little neo Marxists.
Speaker 3: So the person advising the child group were they with
Speaker 3: or what was.
Speaker 4: That is trans Youth Equality Foundation t y e F.
Speaker 4: And these people are teachers at schools too, and administrators
Speaker 4: at schools, and.
Speaker 3: This stuff came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: Well, it came out of the teachers colleges, and it
Speaker 4: came out of the German intellectual salons of the forties
Speaker 4: and fifties. To read on, read up about it if
Speaker 4: you want. They've written books with their names on them
Speaker 4: saying precisely what they want to do. It's not like
Speaker 4: it didn't you know what. In fact, what I just
Speaker 4: said it came out of nowhere is the most untrue
Speaker 4: thing I have ever said.
Speaker 3: It's it's easily trackable, but people are just not aware
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it certainly gained prominence out of nowhere for
Speaker 1: all of us who are just you know, going on
Speaker 1: with our lives where we're and he gets slept in
Speaker 1: the face with this the new thing is just like
Speaker 1: what who what?
Speaker 3: Huh? Yeah? I would agree completely.
Speaker 4: Let's see a Norton ad has made that page unusable,
Speaker 4: so I'll skip that article. I just wanted to get
Speaker 4: to this. Here's a therapist who said, I just took
Speaker 4: it some organization training on for therapists on how to
Speaker 4: support families of gender diverse children. I didn't realize how
Speaker 4: much trans organizations hate black people, and I thought, wow, what?
Speaker 4: And I guess they taught her at length that the
Speaker 4: reason is because they can't manipulate black parents to affirm
Speaker 4: their children as easily. The training explained to me how
Speaker 4: many black families reject the idea and view the whole
Speaker 4: trans thing is a white issue, crazy white people.
Speaker 1: But that's true, crazy white people thing. It is a
Speaker 1: crazy white people thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you folks are absolutely right. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: It's the job of therapists to explain to black parents
Speaker 4: that the gender journey is real and their kids will
Speaker 4: die if they don't agree. These people hate black culture.
Speaker 4: I know the left is racist, but I never realized
Speaker 4: it in this way before. Your kid will die if
Speaker 4: you don't get them a binder and hormones and surgeries
Speaker 4: an utter dishonesty. I eminate all DEI programs everywhere and
Speaker 4: fight this stuff to the extent you can.
Speaker 1: I'll bet that's true for most people from South of
Speaker 1: the border too. As with the Black Crown, it's a
Speaker 1: crazy white person thing. It's an over educated white person thing,
Speaker 1: this weirdness.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I imagine going into the typical immigrant home
Speaker 4: of Mexican folks or whatever and saying, yeah, yeah, we
Speaker 4: want to turn Wan into Anita.
Speaker 3: Tell Wan Senior that and see how it goes.
Speaker 7: Jack Armstrong and Joey Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1: But speaking of electric cars, and the reason we have
Speaker 1: electric cars, of course, is because we're killing the climate
Speaker 1: and or we're killing the climate or killing the planet,
Speaker 1: and we're all going to die soon. We all know that, right,
Speaker 1: how many years we have left, like, got like six months?
Speaker 1: We're all going to be dead, boiling in the sea.
Speaker 4: Yes, your suv is sticking a knife into the planet's
Speaker 4: spleen right now. You are a murder human Progress, which
Speaker 4: is a magazine now website, came out with these numbers yesterday.
Speaker 4: Adjusted for population, climate related deaths have fallen by ninety
Speaker 4: nine point two five percent since nineteen twenty, So in
Speaker 4: the last one hundred years, climate related deaths have fallen
Speaker 4: about one hundred percent. Meanwhile, the standard of living of
Speaker 4: billions of people around the planet has skyrocket. Good premature
Speaker 4: death has plunged, disease, misery, infant mortality, all of it
Speaker 4: has just dropped off of the map. But if we
Speaker 4: somehow peaked in terms of the lack of climate cause
Speaker 4: deaths and have backslid ever so slightly, we should absolutely
Speaker 4: completely sacrifice all the rest of that stuff to make
Speaker 4: sure the first category doesn't rise slightly.
Speaker 3: Come on, right right.
Speaker 1: One of the responses to that was, Look, we are
Speaker 1: going to innovate our way out of this problem eventually,
Speaker 1: and we may have to, but things just aren't as
Speaker 1: bad as people have been telling you they are.
Speaker 3: So yeah, absolutely true. Sorry, Greta, do you have.
Speaker 1: Any particular view on I mean, I know I know
Speaker 1: the answer to this. I can't even believe I'm asking it.
Speaker 1: I'm just asking it because every channel I flipped on today,
Speaker 1: as I slipped through the channels overnight, the news broke
Speaker 1: that Nikki Haley is suspending her campaign, a shock to
Speaker 1: no one, And.
Speaker 3: I was just going to ask you, Okay, I was
Speaker 3: going to ask you.
Speaker 1: Because it's the lead story on all broadcast news. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's important at all, Okay, I'm just
Speaker 1: asking you in case I'm off base.
Speaker 3: Do you have any.
Speaker 1: Thoughts on her full throw an endorsement of Trump? It
Speaker 1: is their lead topic on all broadcast news from NPR
Speaker 1: to Amazon BC.
Speaker 3: Whether NICKI Haley will or not? Yeah, and needs to.
Speaker 3: I couldn't give a crap. Okay, well then we're in
Speaker 3: the same category. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: No, it's not like the sort of moderate Republicans or
Speaker 4: aisle Crossers or you know, old school Republicans are are
Speaker 4: persuadable at this point.
Speaker 3: That's that.
Speaker 4: No, No, she can say anything she wants. They still
Speaker 4: won't be big fans of Trump. I mean, if she could,
Speaker 4: She's a very bright lady. If she could come up
Speaker 4: with some sort of really strong rationale for you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've changed my mind if she could. As many many
Speaker 4: Americans have lay out the calculation that look, Trump is flawed.
Speaker 4: We all have her problems with them, but the far
Speaker 4: left DEI Black Lives Matter, Marxist agenda will ruin the country.
Speaker 4: Let's deal with Trump to keep them between the yellow lines.
Speaker 4: I'm not Biden and Harris.
Speaker 1: We all this is an interesting thing about being a
Speaker 1: human being. We all only know our own minds and personalities,
Speaker 1: and then we have to extrapolate for everyone else on earth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we look for clues, but it's imperfect at best.
Speaker 4: You're you're quite right.
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine ever being swayed by any politician
Speaker 1: about a different politician. Whether you tell me I should
Speaker 1: or shouldn't vote for them, all right, good for you.
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna make my own decision. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that being a factor for me unless they.
Speaker 4: Lay out a rationale that is a persuasive and be
Speaker 4: new to me. It's something I hadn't come to myself,
Speaker 4: like the Biden Trump thing. And if you need NICKI
Speaker 4: Haley's help, I suppose maybe you're just really really don't
Speaker 4: like Trump and you need a little push or something.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but yeah, if she can come up
Speaker 4: with a really good persuasive line to get moderates off
Speaker 4: their butts into the poles, that might help some.
Speaker 3: Not at this point, not this many months out. I
Speaker 3: just don't think it matter. How funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing even as I
Speaker 4: was trying to build a rationale.
Speaker 3: Here's the one thing again about my mind.
Speaker 1: I don't know about other people, but my anecdotal evidence
Speaker 1: for this sort of thing is. Back in two thousand,
Speaker 1: I was really big on the McCain Straight Talk Express
Speaker 1: and George W. Bush, you know, another family part of
Speaker 1: what blah blah blah blah blah. I was just really
Speaker 1: into McCain, and when he lost, I was very disappointed
Speaker 1: and had no enthusiasm for Bush. But then after you
Speaker 1: get like six eight months of the other side saying
Speaker 1: all kinds of mean things about your side, you come
Speaker 1: around to screw you people, and I.
Speaker 3: Just think that's what will happened with most people. Again.
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, absolutely, you circle the wagon, sir. Is that
Speaker 4: racist thing they call it?
Speaker 3: Circle on the wagons are coming home?
Speaker 1: But I think that, like, I think that's like dismissive
Speaker 1: of it. It's it's makes it seem, i don't know,
Speaker 1: cowardly or stupid or something. No, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: listen to eight months of you beating up my side
Speaker 1: and calling us a bunch of racist losers, idiots, and
Speaker 1: and and and.
Speaker 4: Not have an opinion, right right, You know, I really
Speaker 4: wanted to get back to the climate change thing. But
Speaker 4: as long as we're this far down the road, just
Speaker 4: somebody remind me to got a great email. I absolutely
Speaker 4: love this The bad Orange Man email from Maggie I
Speaker 4: thought was terrific that we just shared with you. Then
Speaker 4: Jess and Wiley Texas points out you're dumb and not
Speaker 4: paying attention. The New York Times is finally articulated the
Speaker 4: problem with Biden. I've been wondering why he's so I'm popular,
Speaker 4: and why I don't like him. Finally the question is answered.
Speaker 4: Quote from The New York Times. The polls suggested Biden's
Speaker 4: weakness is concentrated among the less engaged, less educated segment
Speaker 4: of the electorate, including many young, black and Hispanic voters
Speaker 4: who traditionally vote for Democratic candidates. So I'm a moron.
Speaker 4: I haven't being attention. Y'all are dumb and distracted too,
Speaker 4: And the problem with the black and his back voters
Speaker 4: feeling off from the party, less educated and engaged. That's
Speaker 4: the problem Biden has all you stupid, stupid people who don't.
Speaker 3: Know how wonderfully he is. Thank you Jess.
Speaker 1: In particular, the New York Times is saying, dumb people
Speaker 1: of color.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, that's great, that's great.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this yesterday with the realignment. How
Speaker 1: long is it gonna take? With the realignment? As more
Speaker 1: and more black and Hispanic people come over to the
Speaker 1: Republican Party and it becomes the party of the working class,
Speaker 1: which it seems is you know, fully happening when Will
Speaker 1: White and maybe it's already happened right there in the
Speaker 1: New York Times, when Will White too many degree liberals
Speaker 1: start saying racist things about all the black and brown
Speaker 1: people that have become Republicans are certainly racist adjacent, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: As soon as it's served them a minute, it serves them,
Speaker 4: they will trade their principles for gain the second it
Speaker 4: serves them.
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like from that New York Times line,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first shot across the bow of
Speaker 1: that that I've heard. Dumb black and brown people aren't
Speaker 1: paying attention.
Speaker 3: They're the ones that were.
Speaker 4: We're there the weakness us smart people. We know, Joe Biden.
Speaker 4: So when you still a god among men, I'm a
Speaker 4: white guy in case you don't know that.
Speaker 1: So when you know so coming from that point of view,
Speaker 1: but when if you're brown or black and you were
Speaker 1: voting Democrat, it's you know, you were just making decisions
Speaker 1: based on the issues. You're taking a look at the
Speaker 1: tax rate and policy. This and that and made a
Speaker 1: decision and the Democratic Party was the best choice. If
Speaker 1: you vote Republican, though, it's because you you're informed, your low.
Speaker 3: Information voter, you weren't paying attention. You don't know what's
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably fell for misinformation and or disinformation, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I knew that was going to happen, and it's already happened.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: I was working my way toward this email, which I
Speaker 4: thought was great from Paolo. Lots of the left is
Speaker 4: up in arms about the scotis allowing Trump on the
Speaker 4: ballot in Colorado and other states. They're the same folks
Speaker 4: that are squealing, we'll lose our democracy if he's elected.
Speaker 4: If they succeed in keeping him off the ballot, haven't
Speaker 4: we lost it already? They should be asking themselves whether
Speaker 4: so afraid he'll be elected if he's as bad a
Speaker 4: guy as they say is hint it's because the alternative
Speaker 4: they offer his worse. Fix that and there'll be no
Speaker 4: need to worry about him, and no need to steal
Speaker 4: our democracy to save democracy. Yeah, the idea of yes,
Speaker 4: we're going to mount half a dozen highly suspicious court
Speaker 4: cases to keep the leading candidate off the ballot because
Speaker 4: we love democracy. Good lord, if there's a greater hypocrisy
Speaker 4: in American history, point it out to me, please, would you?
Speaker 1: And I would also like to know one more thing
Speaker 1: election wise, who are y'all who are voting for Maryann Williamson?
Speaker 1: And is it a joke vote or is there something
Speaker 1: about her crazy act that you're digging.
Speaker 4: If it's a joke, I appreciate it. I guess I
Speaker 4: appreciate you hanging in there. I guess you do too.
Speaker 1: Maryann Williamson, who got out of the race, then surprisingly
Speaker 1: did well in Michigan with like four percent and decided
Speaker 1: to get back into the race because she had Marianne
Speaker 1: momentum or something.
Speaker 3: We slam it like nobody's business. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Those Yeah, we're voting in Williamson just because she's like
Speaker 1: a terrort card reader, right, or palm reader or something, chiropractor,
Speaker 1: one of.
Speaker 4: Those things, no comment, some sort of helper of some sort. Yeah, well,
Speaker 4: she's she's a hobbyist, so she felt like going fishing. Essentially,
Speaker 4: she felt like getting back in the presidential race, giving
Speaker 4: a couple of speeches. Whatever, Yeah, you're yourself, Marianne slam.
Speaker 1: It, boy, if you could get anybody to throw money
Speaker 1: your way, and you're flying around first class and staying
Speaker 1: in nice hotels and eating a bunch of meals and
Speaker 1: pretending to talk about policy, it'd be kind of fun
Speaker 1: for a while.
Speaker 3: We slam it like nobody's business. Edie, I just went
Speaker 3: and that's the roseries.
Speaker 7: A lady walked diver and she's standing in front of
Speaker 7: me the blueberries and strawberries. And she opened up the
Speaker 7: blueberries and started touching them. After she squeezed the blueberries,
Speaker 7: she put them back and did it, and so she
Speaker 7: grabbed the one she wanted and walked away.
Speaker 3: Is that no yuck? She squeezed my blueberries?
Speaker 4: As a beloved blues song by Old Blind Jimmy Differson.
Speaker 3: She squeezed the blueberries. That was I believe.
Speaker 4: A kiwi accent, which means you're awesy.
Speaker 3: Okay, France, that's correct.
Speaker 1: I have purchased blueberries where you get them home and
Speaker 1: they're all soft in machine.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to eat them.
Speaker 1: No very disppin. But I'm not going to open them
Speaker 1: up and squeeze them ahead of time. I just don't
Speaker 1: by an eyeball them. You can you can tell how
Speaker 1: hard they are by eyeball them pretty effectively.
Speaker 3: I'm a big blueberry can summer. Which which fruits do
Speaker 3: you thump? Thump?
Speaker 1: What are your thumpable throats? A watermelon in a muskmelon.
Speaker 1: People hate when I say mul and muskmelon. It's canalobe
Speaker 1: for the rest of you, I guess.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: I've long found pineapples to be a bit of a
Speaker 4: challenge in avocados.
Speaker 3: Avocados I squeeze a little bit. I think you have
Speaker 3: to what should they feel like?
Speaker 4: If they're hard, they're not ready, And well, that's fine
Speaker 4: if you're going to serve avocados in three days. But
Speaker 4: if you're like gonna whip up something tonight, you're gonna make.
Speaker 3: You some guacamole. You can't have rock hard avocados.
Speaker 1: My son prefers the bananas when they're really green, and
Speaker 1: I hate that flavor. That's probably my least favorite flavor
Speaker 1: on earth is a super green banana.
Speaker 3: Black. Hmmm, you've had cow dung kicked into your mouth, right?
Speaker 3: I often say that to my kids. This is the
Speaker 3: worst thing I've ever tasted, and I've had cow excrement
Speaker 3: in my mouth.
Speaker 4: Do you say extrementer thir teenagers. Do you drop the
Speaker 4: S bomb because the joke's funnier with the S bomb.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I usually say crap, I was at
Speaker 1: a restaurant your dad, I get it. So they had
Speaker 1: a get together last night at the junior high because
Speaker 1: my son is getting out of sixth grade and heading
Speaker 1: into junior high. Anyway, So the kids were there and
Speaker 1: they're talking about how different junior high is and this
Speaker 1: and that. But what got the most tittering among the
Speaker 1: children was when they mentioned school dances. So this will
Speaker 1: be entering the era of school dances for the first time.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of looking around and shuffling over that one.
Speaker 1: Some of the kids very excited about it, mostly the girls.
Speaker 1: Some of the kids not excited about it at all,
Speaker 1: mostly the boys.
Speaker 4: Now, obviously you will be obligated to appoint a transgender
Speaker 4: bell of the ball, fall, Queen, Homecoming, Queen, et cetera.
Speaker 3: But we'll work that out.
Speaker 1: The dances start in junior high. The first dance I
Speaker 1: ever attended EGG was in seventh grade. Man, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I've ever been more uncomfortable in my life.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I just I remember as my kids
Speaker 4: transitioned from elementary school to middle school, picking them up
Speaker 4: or waiting for them outside or something, and seeing some
Speaker 4: of the girls who were rather proud of their how
Speaker 4: do I put this and not get arrested? Their their
Speaker 4: development is adult females and more than proud enough to
Speaker 4: flaunt it, and thinking, what the hell.
Speaker 3: Is you in eighth in eighth grade? Wow?
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, the whole concept now, granted, in a warm
Speaker 4: weather climate, it's different than we grew up in the
Speaker 4: Midwest part of it, but some of the like those
Speaker 4: shorts are offully short and that top is afully tight.
Speaker 3: Yep. Wow.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking of like a sexual element in
Speaker 1: the dances, but I suppose you know at this age, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do it? Just in general, though,
Speaker 1: why is the transition from grade school to junior high
Speaker 1: such a big deal? I'm trying to remember. I my
Speaker 1: memory is that that's like when it was like really
Speaker 1: out there and in the open, the whole boy girl
Speaker 1: relationship thing.
Speaker 3: Katie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would think so, because you're I mean, I
Speaker 5: don't know, there was something for me. There was something
Speaker 5: about the words high school at the end of it.
Speaker 5: So you weren't in elementary school. You were in junior
Speaker 5: high school, so you were you know, you were one
Speaker 5: of the big kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see, I moved schools right then, so and
Speaker 1: junior high was a crazy, uncomfortable and unhappy time for me.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was just because I moved schools
Speaker 1: left all my friends behind. But it might just be
Speaker 1: based on what I was listening to teachers talk about
Speaker 1: last night. It's tough for everybody at that age.
Speaker 5: Plus especially for females. The differences. Yeah that shape seriously.
Speaker 5: That well, at least that change happened for me. In
Speaker 5: between elementary school and junior high school. I went away
Speaker 5: for summer and came back.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, wow, I'll bet that is something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's because it's uncomfortable, but you want it
Speaker 5: to happen, but it's more uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: Yeah anything. I guess I've never really thought about it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, at that age, if you're going to show
Speaker 1: up to school with a different pair of shoes, you're wondering,
Speaker 1: you know, what are people are going to say about it?
Speaker 3: Or did you know showing up with a different body?
Speaker 3: Holy crap. I was one of three girls that that
Speaker 3: happened to that. We showed up after that summer and
Speaker 3: it was drastic. Yeah, and did people comment on that,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, non stop. I ay nicknames.
Speaker 5: I was called somebody called me dirty Pillows and that
Speaker 5: lasted with me all the way through high school.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's not a good nickname. Whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm older, so probably you wouldn't have gotten away with
Speaker 1: this as a teacher. But I remember teachers, teachers commenting
Speaker 1: on the girls that had showed up back at school
Speaker 1: and you know, looking different.
Speaker 3: Is that something? Teachers would mention it, commenting, like mentioning,
Speaker 3: how like have you seen Katie this year? Yeah, not
Speaker 3: the same Katie as last year? Huh whoa? As teachers
Speaker 3: would say that, and everybody would be disgusting. It is weird.
Speaker 3: It's a different time. I'm gonna needs to call to
Speaker 3: catch a predator on those people.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: One of that changes is PE classes, when you start
Speaker 2: getting dressed together and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Right, that's one of the things they mentioned that the
Speaker 1: PE class, you're gonna start wearing I got pea clothes,
Speaker 1: you got shorts and a T shirt, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to change clothes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be a new thing. Or the girls.
Speaker 5: Which girls had to get bras, which ones didn't. Oh,
Speaker 5: that was a big conversation, all the girls peaking at
Speaker 5: each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah weird, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: But so they did announce that there are going to
Speaker 1: be dances this year, and some people seemed horrified by it.
Speaker 1: Some people seemed excited. I was horrified, you, Katie, as
Speaker 1: a girl, seemed like the girls were more excited about it.
Speaker 3: I loved it. Yeah, Oh, the dress, the makeup, the
Speaker 3: all of it. Loved it.
Speaker 1: Plus, as girls, you can run out there with just
Speaker 1: your friends that are also girls in dance and ye
Speaker 1: around have a good time.
Speaker 3: It's not well, it's an option for the boys, but
Speaker 3: much scarier for the guys.
Speaker 5: The pressures on them too to ask the girl to
Speaker 5: the dance and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: That's n No.
Speaker 1: I danced the first time it had an eighth grade dance,
Speaker 1: and it's because some girl came and asked me for
Speaker 1: the last dance of the night. I can still remember
Speaker 1: the song Donna Summer. Last dance. I was sweating bullets.
Speaker 1: I mean I was just I was soaked in sweat.
Speaker 1: We were actually touching each other because it was a
Speaker 1: slow dance and I was just, I mean just my
Speaker 1: shirt was wet.
