Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty, I'm strong and Jetty and
Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Low balls in a straight has breaks his Pat Kirkering,
Speaker 3: gotta find.
Speaker 4: It comes to the pain, Oh my goodness, it turns
Speaker 4: it away and the Dodgers of un.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers when.
Speaker 3: And they are moving on to the NLCS.
Speaker 2: And the most incredible tennis.
Speaker 3: Pandemonia the Dodger Stadium and.
Speaker 2: Your heartbreak for a live Kirkering just occurred to me.
Speaker 5: I think the only time the word pandemonium ever comes
Speaker 5: up in real life is when a sporting event has
Speaker 5: a crowd going wild. I don't know if I ever
Speaker 5: hear a pandemonium other than that. Anyway, Dodgers are moving
Speaker 5: on to the next round, one round short of being
Speaker 5: in the World Series. And poor picture for the Phillies
Speaker 5: who made a terrible decision there at the end of
Speaker 5: the game, eleventh inning, bases loaded, chance to get out
Speaker 5: of the inning and go on.
Speaker 2: And you know, maybe maybe win the game. It was
Speaker 2: a Little League mistake.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just got this text, boy that today is
Speaker 5: going to feel like an eternity for Orion, that's the
Speaker 5: name of the picture. So yeah, it was a little
Speaker 5: league mistake. It was like a you're not a particularly
Speaker 5: good player. Your coach is slapping his forehead. Well, that's Jack,
Speaker 5: that's the way he is. He's not very good, a
Speaker 5: sort of mistake. And he made it there at the
Speaker 5: end of the game. And do you think he's able
Speaker 5: to like more or less block it out and go
Speaker 5: on with his life today or is he just laying
Speaker 5: in bed staring at the ceiling.
Speaker 2: Thinking, while my wife is over outed, I do this.
Speaker 2: He's going to be down for a while.
Speaker 1: I hope he's got a wife and kids or friends
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 5: It would definitely help to have a wife and kids,
Speaker 5: because you'd have more serious, important duties to deal with
Speaker 5: right away if he's a single guy, hm, and it helps.
Speaker 5: Like it wasn't like Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 5: You know they win that game.
Speaker 1: That's no guarantee they even beat the Dodgers again in advance,
Speaker 1: much less get through the NLCS, much less win the
Speaker 1: R Series.
Speaker 5: So unfortunate was that any Did he get an error
Speaker 5: for that?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, and it was just a mental error,
Speaker 1: but it all happens really fast.
Speaker 5: I don't know this about baseball. Do you get an
Speaker 5: air for bad decisions or you drop all or something
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 1: But executive producer Hanson, I think the answer to that
Speaker 1: is no, thrown at the wrong pace.
Speaker 4: I think the the air is given as a result
Speaker 4: of the bad decision, right, I mean you, so it
Speaker 4: depends you could make a bad decision and still recover
Speaker 4: and maybe fubble flub your way through it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know that bad decision is automatically
Speaker 2: in air.
Speaker 5: That was a heck of an ending to a very
Speaker 5: exciting baseball game. I felt bad about it. I want
Speaker 5: to you know, you want heroics. You don't want a
Speaker 5: screw up.
Speaker 2: To be the end of the game.
Speaker 5: AnyWho, Dodgers are moving on to the next round, and
Speaker 5: they will play the Cubs or the Bruce.
Speaker 2: We'll figure that out soon.
Speaker 5: A couple of headlines for You mentioned this one earlier.
Speaker 5: Wall Street Journal Americans are falling behind on their car payments.
Speaker 5: Like at our record rate, we've got a the highest
Speaker 5: number of people with low credit scores that haven't made
Speaker 5: a payment in sixty days that we've ever had, which
Speaker 5: might be the beginning of a trend this direction. Usually
Speaker 5: that's not an indicator of good things, but you know,
Speaker 5: some of it is an indicator of decision making.
Speaker 2: Like Joe also said earlier, that's funny.
Speaker 5: We got people living beyond their means and a government
Speaker 5: that lives beyond their means. Yeah, you get the government
Speaker 5: you deserve that. It's not a surprise that a people
Speaker 5: that are buying things they can't afford are not caring
Speaker 5: that the government is buying things that can't afford.
Speaker 1: In a directly related story, the Congressional Budget Budget Office
Speaker 1: report just came out. The deficit for the last fiscal
Speaker 1: year one year was almost two trillion dollars. We spent
Speaker 1: one point eight trillion dollars more than we took in,
Speaker 1: even though there was an enormous growth in how much
Speaker 1: we took in.
Speaker 5: The stock market is setting records. There's no giant crisis
Speaker 5: of any kind. This isn't World War II or the pandemic.
Speaker 5: Just a regular year, a regular year when things are
Speaker 5: going well, and we spent two trillion, almost two trillion
Speaker 5: dollars more than we took in. If you're not haven't
Speaker 5: been paying attention to this, or not old enough, I
Speaker 5: remember when we hit four hundred billion one year.
Speaker 2: Jeez, how long ago is that now?
Speaker 5: In maybe fifteen years, and it was just a crisis, Like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, four hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2: We've lost our minds. We've lost our minds. This can't continue.
Speaker 5: Now we regularly spend a trillion more than we take
Speaker 5: in this year, almost two trillion.
Speaker 2: It is beyond unsustainable.
Speaker 5: It's like, I don't know when what it would be
Speaker 5: a good example of of this that it's just it's
Speaker 5: gonna end like this weekend or next year. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's just it's so far over the top nuts and
Speaker 5: it's not even a.
Speaker 2: Topic for conversation right in my mind.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, it is such an enormous
Speaker 1: betrayal of the responsibility of self governance. It's you don't
Speaker 1: need to know anything else, like trying to figure out
Speaker 1: if you know, is Jack a good guy? Well, he
Speaker 1: murdered ten people in cold blood, and he cheats at
Speaker 1: golf and sometimes he doesn't signal when he changes lanth No,
Speaker 1: you don't need to know anything more about your government
Speaker 1: than they spend almost two trillion dollars worth of your
Speaker 1: children and grandchildren's money.
Speaker 2: Just to keep their power. It's all you need to know.
Speaker 1: Like it's utterly bankrupt morally and soon literally. Well in
Speaker 1: one more note, one more note, it was pointed out
Speaker 1: to me one of the one of your great political
Speaker 1: thinkers I can remember his name, pointed out that any
Speaker 1: great power that spends more on debt than it does
Speaker 1: on defense will soon cease to be.
Speaker 2: A great power. We are now that.
Speaker 5: So try to picture an individual of family. You're buying
Speaker 5: a new car every week, and me, you got cars.
Speaker 5: You don't even know where to park them. Now you
Speaker 5: just keep buying a new car, and you can't afford
Speaker 5: the payments, and you're not making them and doing it.
Speaker 1: I haven't even figured out how you adjust the mirrors
Speaker 1: on the old car.
Speaker 2: Now I got a new car.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure that's an exaggeration from what our government
Speaker 5: is doing when it's two trillion dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, driven by eight percent annual growth in all three
Speaker 1: of the largest entitlements, Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. A lot
Speaker 1: of discretionary discretionary programs also going.
Speaker 2: It's Friday.
Speaker 5: I don't want to be, you know, the most depressing
Speaker 5: radio show in America. But my final statement on this
Speaker 5: before you make your final statement, probably also dark. This
Speaker 5: is in a good year. What if we end up
Speaker 5: at war with China or there is an economic downturn
Speaker 5: of you know, historic proportions while this is happening, Oh
Speaker 5: my god, the most predicted and predictable result. I will
Speaker 5: get no enjoyment of being right about this. When it happens,
Speaker 5: I'll get a little just for the record.
Speaker 1: Here's here's another good one, and I love this one.
Speaker 1: This will cheer your mood. You remember when that catastrophic
Speaker 1: fire hit the LA area, including some friends and colleagues
Speaker 1: of ours and the USA Today headline Hotter, Dryer, more flammable,
Speaker 1: scientists say climate ange Field, LA fires, La Times, LA fire.
Speaker 2: Oh this New York Times.
Speaker 1: LA fires show limits of America's efforts to cope with
Speaker 1: climate change. I got a list of these. They're all
Speaker 1: the same. It's an arsonist. It's an arsonist. It wasn't
Speaker 1: climate change.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: If you don't or have never lived in California, you
Speaker 1: don't know this. If an arsonist decides I'm going to
Speaker 1: set a big fire in the midst of in the
Speaker 1: midst of a dry spell, You're gonna have a hell
Speaker 1: of a fire every time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a nut job listening to rap music
Speaker 5: that had a video about fire.
Speaker 2: That's what it was.
Speaker 1: And climate change Governor Gavin Newsom, if you don't believe
Speaker 1: in science, believe your own damn eyes. He tweeted pictures
Speaker 1: of the firefighters trying to get the fire under control.
Speaker 2: Wow, if you don't believe in science, all right, Gavin.
Speaker 5: So, the Japanese just elected a woman to be their
Speaker 5: new leader. She's sixty four years old. She will be
Speaker 5: the most powerful woman in Japan in more than one
Speaker 5: thousand years.
Speaker 2: And she is being.
Speaker 5: Compared regularly to Margaret Thatcher because she is a hardcore,
Speaker 5: iron willed conservative that will be running Japan now. So
Speaker 5: it'll be interesting the United States, too, interesting to see
Speaker 5: how that goes. Kind of excited about that. Seems like
Speaker 5: it's going in the right direction. I haven't mentioned this
Speaker 5: yet today. Letitia James was indicted yesterday by the Trump
Speaker 5: Justice Department.
Speaker 2: Good, finally our streets are safe again.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: She's a scumbag. She's the one that brought the absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 5: According to everyone you know, he overinflated his buildings to
Speaker 5: get a better loan something or other, and I mean
Speaker 5: just ridiculous. That law had never been used in that
Speaker 5: way ever before. That's not what it was intended for.
Speaker 5: Nobody was actually complaining about it. I mean, it was
Speaker 5: just complete law fair And after campaigning I'm gonna get Trump.
Speaker 5: I don't know how, but I'll get him. She ran
Speaker 5: on that, she got elected. She came up with a
Speaker 5: wacky way to do it, which then got overturned. And
Speaker 5: now Trump is doing basically almost exactly the same thing
Speaker 5: to her on a lower level, because she's not a
Speaker 5: billionaire with overvaluing something for a mortgage, just to make
Speaker 5: her life miserable.
Speaker 2: They're not going to win the case, but.
Speaker 5: It will make her life miserable for quite a while
Speaker 5: and cost her a lot of money. That's where we
Speaker 5: are with our politics now. They play stupid games, win
Speaker 5: stupid prizes.
Speaker 2: The tisshow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we can't again I keep using the phrase
Speaker 5: race to the bottom. We can't just keep doing well,
Speaker 5: you did it first, which is true, yes, but well, yeah,
Speaker 5: this prosecution is indefensible except as.
Speaker 2: Illustrating. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
Speaker 1: You can call it retribution if you want, but it's
Speaker 1: and you're right about the race to the bottom.
Speaker 2: You're a one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1: But the reason why both hockey teams have big, strong
Speaker 1: guys who will whack your head if you beat up
Speaker 1: their fast little score is because if only one team
Speaker 1: has them, they will run rough shot over the other.
Speaker 1: And I'm not like proud of that stance, and I'm
Speaker 1: not even advocating for it.
Speaker 2: I'm just observing that it exists, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: If you guys do law fair, no matter how righteously
Speaker 1: and persuasively, we say, that's clearly lawfair. I remember the
Speaker 1: morning Joe Geeks when the Alvin Bragg thing started, and
Speaker 1: they were all like, this is ridiculous. Yeah, how do
Speaker 1: you stop the other side from doing that? If, no
Speaker 1: matter how again righteous and persuasive, your argument is against it,
Speaker 1: they just keep doing it. And again, that's a terrible argument,
Speaker 1: and I'm ashamed. But it's also true. I don't know
Speaker 1: where to go from here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the coverage of this yesterday of her being
Speaker 5: indicted never included from any men stream source anyway. By
Speaker 5: the way, critics left right and center thought her prosecution
Speaker 5: of Trump was bogus and got overturned later they never
Speaker 5: mentioned that.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, we just keep sinking sinking.
Speaker 5: You combine that with our overspending, and hey, things are
Speaker 5: looking rosy. Ha different story before we take a break.
Speaker 5: Guya ran Pravda, that's one of your newspapers in Russia.
Speaker 5: Fell out of a window seven stories the other day.
Speaker 5: Got to be more careful, had been doing some reporting
Speaker 5: about the war not going well. And yeah, he slipped
Speaker 5: next to an open window and fell out.
Speaker 1: I guess is made like waxed the floor there or something.
Speaker 1: He didn't know it. Obviously, we got more on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 7: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation
Speaker 7: into Tesla's full self driving system. Officials now say they've
Speaker 7: received more than fifty reports of traffic safety violations and
Speaker 7: reports of several injuries.
Speaker 2: That's interesting.
Speaker 5: I have FSD in my newest Tesla, But the technology
Speaker 5: has changed so much over the last five years that
Speaker 5: I've been four years that I've been driving Tesla's some
Speaker 5: of the older cars, I mean, are they all the
Speaker 5: newer models? I mean it's also complicated. I don't know
Speaker 5: if we'll ever reach full self driving that insurance companies
Speaker 5: and states allow.
Speaker 2: I really don't know if that'll ever happen. Hmm, I
Speaker 2: would guess yes. I mean, but I have no idea when.
Speaker 5: What the existence of WEIMO you'd think is going to happen.
Speaker 5: But that's a completely different model or way of doing it.
Speaker 5: You can do it for an individual city where you
Speaker 5: map every single sidewalk, alley, everything into the computer system
Speaker 5: of that car. Can you do that for the whole
Speaker 5: country to allow your or do you buy or do
Speaker 5: you start buying cars that this car is just programmed
Speaker 5: to drive in within fifty miles where you live.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the way it'll work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm out of my depth there, Donnie. I was
Speaker 1: reading about self pilot planes is almost certainly the future
Speaker 1: in a lot of realms. But they point out that
Speaker 1: the pilot reassures everybody when there's unexpected turbulence or you know,
Speaker 1: just to if you're walking on the plane you turn
Speaker 1: left and there's nobody in the cockpit, you glance to
Speaker 1: your left. That would freak people out. It would take
Speaker 1: a long time to get consumer acceptance. They were pointing out.
Speaker 5: Oh, I would say, the self driving on my newest
Speaker 5: vehicle is fantastic. It has never made a mistake as
Speaker 5: far as I know, even close to it. It's better than
Speaker 5: I am. Really, you can see things I can't see.
Speaker 5: This is a very interesting story that we want to
Speaker 5: touch on.
Speaker 8: A frightening new prank taking over social media across TikTok,
Speaker 8: people generating AI images of a stranger in their house
Speaker 8: and then sending the photos to their loved ones. The
Speaker 8: pranksters texting things like he says he knows you and
Speaker 8: I told him he can take a nap, sending their
Speaker 8: families into a panic, at times ending with police knocking
Speaker 8: on their door.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was just trying to mess with my mom
Speaker 3: and she took it seriously. Calls are ranked and priority,
Speaker 3: and something like this would be a high priority.
Speaker 8: Police departments across the country saying they're getting nine to
Speaker 8: one one calls from parents thinking their child is actually
Speaker 8: in danger. Police issuing a warning to users that pulling
Speaker 8: pranks like.
Speaker 2: These that I'm just messing with you. It's AI.
Speaker 1: Criminal charges you stupid, see unplug the Internet. God, you
Speaker 1: are a freaking moron. I'm disappointed. You're my child.
Speaker 5: I better take a look at the way I invest,
Speaker 5: because I'm gonna be taking care of you for the
Speaker 5: rest of my life because you're too freaking stupid to exist,
Speaker 5: I mean strong.
Speaker 2: How can you possibly think I know what I'll do.
Speaker 2: I'll have my.
Speaker 5: Parents think a stranger has broken into the house and
Speaker 5: I can't get him to leave. That'll be funny. God,
Speaker 5: you are an awful human being or your brain is
Speaker 5: broken utterly lacking in judgment. Oh my god, Yeah, that
Speaker 5: is horrific. How can a person be that blind? I
Speaker 5: don't know the population are I don't know. It's got
Speaker 5: to be small, isn't it.
Speaker 1: You know, kids are so easily led that they see
Speaker 1: it online, they're told it's funny. They have no independent
Speaker 1: judgment because they're sheep ish, and so they go ahead
Speaker 1: and do it. On a much more serious note, I
Speaker 1: was reading about this disputed area of Ukraine where the
Speaker 1: Russians took it, then we're repelled.
Speaker 2: Two years later they took it again.
Speaker 1: First thing they do when they establish control they go
Speaker 1: into the schools and they make sure the schools are
Speaker 1: teaching the kids.
Speaker 2: X, Y, and z.
Speaker 1: Indoctrinating the young people is priority number one because kids
Speaker 1: are so easily led.
Speaker 5: And the first thing you learn you tend to hang
Speaker 5: on to for the rest of your life for various
Speaker 5: psychological reasons.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, coming up woke Swifties. Anger continues that her
Speaker 1: new album.
Speaker 5: We talked about that the looking for dog whistles of
Speaker 5: white supremacy in the new Taylor Swift album.
Speaker 2: Hasn't died down. Jack.
Speaker 1: Plus they're calling him the perverted poster boy of gender
Speaker 1: ideology meets this chap come up, Armstrong and geddy.
Speaker 9: So the campaign manager for Katie Porter allegedly told her
Speaker 9: you looked bad.
Speaker 2: The other night.
Speaker 9: She said, you mean the interview and he said, what interview?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, meanness of gutfel. She is high school lunch
Speaker 1: room cruelty's.
Speaker 5: Katie Porter, not a handsome woman. But I don't see
Speaker 5: any reason uh to play on that.
Speaker 2: Yo stick with the shot stick with the evil. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was surprising though, I mean like the Advanced Team.
Speaker 5: I mean they had her in a setting that was,
Speaker 5: you know, less appealing for her than and they did
Speaker 5: a bad job. Usually they tried to go out of
Speaker 5: their way to make you look as good as possible.
Speaker 5: Her people did not do that, which might again, like
Speaker 5: I said earlier, she might have a lot of people
Speaker 5: rooting against her. If she talks to everybody that way,
Speaker 5: then I think you're gonna set up the camera to
Speaker 5: make you look as fat as possible.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do, right right, Yeah, yeah, interesting,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Katie Porter one of many people cited by
Speaker 1: who wrote this.
Speaker 2: I was gonna use their name. I gotta switch that
Speaker 2: to see the name. Got a click on that. There,
Speaker 2: there you go. Written by.
Speaker 1: God damn it Macy Petty Macey was a college volleyball
Speaker 1: player who had to play against dudes and testified and
Speaker 1: tried to get laws against that past and talked about
Speaker 1: how hard it was a few years ago, and she
Speaker 1: catalogs a bunch of Democrats high level, from Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: to Katie Porter to Kamala Harris and others who now say, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: clearly their advantages and men you know, can't play, who
Speaker 1: were utterly one hundred percent committed to the party line
Speaker 1: back in the day, to the point of telling her,
Speaker 1: you know, you're just a camp you're just complaining, or
Speaker 1: you're a bigot, or you're transfoebe and this isn't a
Speaker 1: real problem.
Speaker 2: You need to stop complaining.
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing how little principler is in politics.
Speaker 2: These days.
Speaker 5: The more I think of it, the more I think
Speaker 5: it is likely that her advanced team puts her in
Speaker 5: lighting and situations to make her look as awful as possible.
Speaker 2: Oh, that dress is really slimming.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you look you look good in that. And I'll
Speaker 5: put the camera down low like this and kind of
Speaker 5: at this angle. Yeah, you look like a dump flattering.
Speaker 1: You look like a dump trunk aboutout the camera here
Speaker 1: is a perfect yeah. So, speaking of gender bending madness,
Speaker 1: here's another thing that caught my attention.
Speaker 2: He was allowed to be in there, the.
Speaker 1: Perverted poster boy of gender ideology. This is from the
Speaker 1: good folks at the Washington Examiner. Richard Cox, fifty eight
Speaker 1: year old repeat Tier three sex offender who spent the
Speaker 1: second half of twenty twenty four prowling female locker rooms
Speaker 1: in woke northern Virginia, where he would ogle schoolgirls and
Speaker 1: expose himself to bystanders. Oh my god, Fairfax County so woke,
Speaker 1: you can't believe it. Where Cox exposed himself repeatedly last year.
Speaker 1: Never prosecuted him because, as the police chief put it,
Speaker 1: the policy of parks and rec allowed him and other
Speaker 1: persons to use the locker room of the gender that
Speaker 1: they identify with in both Oh, in this freak as,
Speaker 1: we'll post a link at Armstrong egetty dot com. But
Speaker 1: you'd take one look at this guy, you know exactly
Speaker 1: what's going on.
Speaker 5: I'm always trying to figure out the wolk thing because
Speaker 5: I don't always understand it at first blush. So they're
Speaker 5: supporting him because he's trans like, so if he was
Speaker 5: just a get or dude exposed himself, there's no woke
Speaker 5: reason to support that, is there? Because I mean correct
Speaker 5: the not arresting thieves you claim is an economic thing, Well,
Speaker 5: they're just stealing because they're poor because of the you know,
Speaker 5: patriarchy or whatever. But there's no patriarchy for showing your
Speaker 5: junk to people. So but at the trans angle is
Speaker 5: what protects this guy.
Speaker 1: Yes, although, having just read a really interesting thread about
Speaker 1: about a.
Speaker 5: Siety lgb sorry I showed you my penis the patriarchy
Speaker 5: in white supremacy and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Well, there's this LGBTQ civil rights leader in Britain who
Speaker 1: is now openly advocating for adult child sex. And part
Speaker 1: of the whole postmodern neo Marxist thing is that you
Speaker 1: you want to tear down every norm of society, every
Speaker 1: boundary line of society you claim is bigoted or racist.
Speaker 1: Mister trans phobaker, islama phoebaker or whatever else, you don't
Speaker 1: allow ther to be any standards. So it wouldn't shock
Speaker 1: me that somewhere in the neo Marxist movement they're saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have the right to expose yourself an ogle, you know,
Speaker 1: young girl. Anyway, In both Fairfax and neighboring Arlington County,
Speaker 1: county officials allowed mister Cox to undress in women's locker
Speaker 1: rooms because the county's fealty to gender ideology. They didn't
Speaker 1: arrest him because, under county policy, he counted as a woman.
Speaker 1: Washington Post gave the story zero nearly zero coverage, and
Speaker 1: they point out that the story of mister Cox putting
Speaker 1: his name aside is a reductio ad absurdum of the
Speaker 1: gender dogma that the outlet follows.
Speaker 2: How did I let it know that his name is Cox?
Speaker 2: I didn't catch her once? Yeah, pick up on that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the pop up.
Speaker 5: Ad more than one? You say, now, I would look
Speaker 5: it's plural, all right? You can't let me tell this
Speaker 5: story while you're trying to get your computer work. So
Speaker 5: I had a well, you gotta you gotta repeat your axiom.
Speaker 5: I guess that was my axiom.
Speaker 1: The more conservative the website, the more impossible it is
Speaker 1: to use yeah, because they're.
Speaker 2: All about making money, not yeah. Uh. I had a
Speaker 2: girlfriend many many years ago.
Speaker 5: She her her house facing across her on the other
Speaker 5: side of the street, had a big picture window, and
Speaker 5: there was an old guide that would stand in the
Speaker 5: window work in his man on a regular on a
Speaker 5: regular basis, he would just stand there.
Speaker 2: What's that that's charming?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what phrase to use. What would
Speaker 2: you like me to say? Oh?
Speaker 1: No, no, I was talking about the activity now in
Speaker 1: a description of it was like in the seventies, and
Speaker 1: he would just stand there naked and you know, doing
Speaker 1: his thing.
Speaker 5: And uh, but her and her roommate, another chick would
Speaker 5: they're just like, oh God, he's at it again, Randy's
Speaker 5: doing it again.
Speaker 2: Oh you gotta be kidding, you know. And it wasn't.
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not coming out pro that sort of thing,
Speaker 5: but not everybody immediately falls to pieces when that happens. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm still all for locking them up. Or being a crime,
Speaker 5: or getting a ticket, or put your pants on or whatever.
Speaker 2: So bah bah bah.
Speaker 1: In brief, this story is how liberals in the suburbs
Speaker 1: of DC allowed a repeat sex offender to victimize women
Speaker 1: stock children for months.
Speaker 2: More than fifteen months ago.
Speaker 1: In June twenty four, this guy was charged with indecent
Speaker 1: exposure for exposing his crank and a female locker room
Speaker 1: at Planet Fitness. In his defense, Cox argued, quote transgender
Speaker 1: people identify is belonging to a gender which may not
Speaker 1: conform to the sex they are assigned at birth. For
Speaker 1: a transgender person to be observed in a locker room
Speaker 1: nude is no proof that this was also anything more
Speaker 1: than platonic. He showed the Planet Fitness guy's his Virginia
Speaker 1: driver's license, which listed him as a woman, even though
Speaker 1: he's a man. That seems very odd to me. At
Speaker 1: the time, county officials knew Cox was a Tier three
Speaker 1: sex offender, the most serious level. He was charged in
Speaker 1: the nineties for allegedly exposing himself to children and ma
Speaker 1: abaiting in front of them. He was convicted in Arlington
Speaker 1: of taking indecent liberties with children. He was twice charged
Speaker 1: with a felony for failing to reregister as a Tier
Speaker 1: three sex offender, but Fairfax County dropped those charges. All
Speaker 1: of that was a matter of record when Fairfax County
Speaker 1: dismissed the indecent exposure charge in July because the victim
Speaker 1: did not show up in court.
Speaker 2: But it was because they believed or I don't get this.
Speaker 2: This guy has molested children.
Speaker 1: He's exposed himself to children over and over again, and
Speaker 1: he does it again. But because he says nope, now
Speaker 1: I'm a woman, they say, okay, no charges. If you're
Speaker 1: not fighting against this garbage, what are you waiting for?
Speaker 5: You know, it's like the guy that wanted to kill
Speaker 5: Kavanaugh turns out his trains.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you don't have to be in for reallying
Speaker 2: not near as serious.
Speaker 5: So I didn't know what to say when I was
Speaker 5: talking about the guy that was in the window across
Speaker 5: the street from girlfriend I used to have who would
Speaker 5: do his thing, And I didn't know what phrase to use,
Speaker 5: So I just asked chat GPT, what are some good
Speaker 5: euphemisms for male masturbation? And it gave me a list. Oh, boy,
Speaker 5: wrestling the eel, shaking hands with the governor, auditioning the
Speaker 5: single handed orchestra.
Speaker 2: You can stop anytime taking the bald guy to the
Speaker 2: prom Never heard that one. It's too wordy. See, you
Speaker 2: don't want more of those. I don't resent it, you know,
Speaker 2: for reasons. It's kase. I resent it as an editor, Yes, Katie.
Speaker 5: No, I'm just waiting for Hanson to turn your microphone off.
Speaker 2: That's all, by the way. One final note on this.
Speaker 1: The Washington Post carefully avoids any pronouns in their very
Speaker 1: minor coverage of this. And the Washington Post was contacted
Speaker 1: by the examiner who asked him why, and they made
Speaker 1: it clear, according to the rules, it is against our
Speaker 1: rules to call Cox a he. It also cannot follow
Speaker 1: its rules and call Cox as she if it wishes
Speaker 1: to maintain any credibility they point out. Obviously. Anyway, that's
Speaker 1: enough of that.
Speaker 5: I got some more sophisticated versions that that Claude gave
Speaker 5: me that you might want to vote or something if
Speaker 5: you ever need it.
Speaker 2: Was more sophisticated, and Claude because he's French.
Speaker 5: Yes, so I'll have that after I tell you about
Speaker 5: prize picks. It's gonna be another big weekend of football, obviously,
Speaker 5: and got baseball going on?
Speaker 2: Basketball is about to start up.
Speaker 5: Download the Prize Picks app and get involved with the
Speaker 5: code armstrong to get fifty dollars in lineups after you
Speaker 5: play your first five dollars lineup. You're just picking more
Speaker 5: or less on at least two player stats, and if
Speaker 5: you get your picks right, you could cash in. This
Speaker 5: is such a great way to take your you know what,
Speaker 5: I know what I'm talking about. I got strong sports
Speaker 5: opinions and turn them into cash.
Speaker 1: And you can combine a couple of baseball players with
Speaker 1: a football player if you want. That's fine as you
Speaker 1: build your lineup, and this is such a great deal.
Speaker 1: Download the Prize Picks afterday use the code armstrong to
Speaker 1: get fifty dollars in lineups after you play your first
Speaker 1: five dollars lineup.
Speaker 2: That is the code arms strong.
Speaker 1: When you download the Prize Picks up, get fifty bucks
Speaker 1: in lineups to have fun with. After you play just
Speaker 1: a five dollars lineup, win or lose, you get it
Speaker 1: automatically either way.
Speaker 2: Prize Picks. It's simple, it's easy.
Speaker 1: You don't have to get in the league and do
Speaker 1: trades and then make it a second job.
Speaker 2: It's easy prize picks. Use that code armstrong it's good
Speaker 2: to be right, shall.
Speaker 5: I like some of these because sometimes you have to
Speaker 5: describe this scenario, whether you know, in some way.
Speaker 2: I can think of some examples coming up.
Speaker 1: Woke Swifties continue to help pour out anger over the
Speaker 1: new album.
Speaker 5: Like engaging in self care. That's that's a nice kind
Speaker 5: of calm one. Yeah, I you know, like he was
Speaker 5: engaging in self care. That's a little better, right, practicing
Speaker 5: self will still not good enough to have on the air,
Speaker 5: but yes, better taking some me time, playing a little
Speaker 5: five on one, stupid.
Speaker 2: I've actually heard that one.
Speaker 5: Have a having a date with yourself. Yes, I had
Speaker 5: heard that. Uh, a little five on one, you know
Speaker 5: it happens.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 5: The only one I've meant asked is Grok. Grok tends
Speaker 5: to be cheekier, pardon the expression. And I have heard
Speaker 5: about the Taylor Swift White supremacy that tame in the dragon.
Speaker 2: That's a common one. Some of these are just I'm
Speaker 2: skipping lots of them that show that I do have
Speaker 2: some line all across.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, great, winding the clock seems like British, doesn't
Speaker 1: you know you're asking for credit to UH for skipping
Speaker 1: some of them. Reminds me of one of my favorite
Speaker 1: cartoons many many years ago I saw and It's funny
Speaker 1: how just a handful of stuck in my head, including
Speaker 1: a handful of far Side cartoons that were just so great,
Speaker 1: but this one was. It was rather a troubling scene
Speaker 1: of a h Well, it kind of explains itself, but
Speaker 1: the guy is like being bound and all in the
Speaker 1: other guy says, you'll have to bear with me.
Speaker 2: I'm a homicidal.
Speaker 1: Maybia, and that's kind of what I was getting from you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I brought this story the other day and
Speaker 5: we have an update, I guess on people who are
Speaker 5: seeing white supremacy and maga politics in the new Taylor
Speaker 5: Swift album, which doesn't make sense given her politics. But anyway,
Speaker 5: that and other stuff on the way, stay here.
Speaker 7: Barmstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: I want to go back to that repeat offender question.
Speaker 6: If somebody has offended six, seven, eight times, even if
Speaker 6: it's a minor offense, but they continue to fail to
Speaker 6: turn their life around, at what point do you balance
Speaker 6: public safety to giving this person, you know, some accountability.
Speaker 2: What is that the ones?
Speaker 3: So let me make something very clear I was the
Speaker 3: one that sponsored the band the box legislation when everyone
Speaker 3: posts because the criminals system has had a desparate impact
Speaker 3: on black and brown communities.
Speaker 2: Let me leave with that.
Speaker 3: So, when this person's committing six or seven crimes, I
Speaker 3: didn't know his or her story. Maybe they were abused
Speaker 3: as a child, maybe they're hungry.
Speaker 2: So my.
Speaker 3: Remedy is to find their life story to see how
Speaker 3: we can help. First, I have no desire to put
Speaker 3: them in jail, but I need to protect you. And
Speaker 3: that's the calibration that we have. I put police officers
Speaker 3: on the stand. I've cross examined them, So whether they
Speaker 3: commit seven or eight crimes to me is not the issue.
Speaker 3: The issue is why are they committing these crimes?
Speaker 1: That is a mayoral candidate in Seattle, Bruce Harrel, who
Speaker 1: we talked about the other day, the whole restorative justice
Speaker 1: pie in the sky dreamer philosophy.
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable. I mean, he's way to that side. I'm
Speaker 5: probably too far to the other side where I don't
Speaker 5: give a crap why you committed those crimes.
Speaker 2: I don't care. You can't it's not allowed to right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got this note from a listener who has
Speaker 1: a lot of connections the Seattle area and is there
Speaker 1: a lot. Bruce has a progressive electorate, so to get
Speaker 1: elected he has to speak to them. Pre election. Bruce
Speaker 1: has actually been cleaning. He's cleaned up tent cities. Long
Speaker 1: eye five. He has correct that as leadership has led
Speaker 1: to the SPD being able to recruit again, Untangling the
Speaker 1: sins of years of progressive policies is a Gordian knot.
Speaker 1: The fact that an out and proud socialist is apparently
Speaker 1: leading the polls is probably driving Bruce to say those things.
Speaker 1: You cannot affect policies if you can't get elected. Seattle's
Speaker 1: on the same trajectory as New York City, and Bruce
Speaker 1: is the least bad option, but likely to lose to
Speaker 1: a worse socialist candidate.
Speaker 2: So in other words, he's.
Speaker 1: Trying to triangulate, trying to you know, somehow neutralize the.
Speaker 2: Well the vote.
Speaker 1: The sort of voter who would say that nonsense that
Speaker 1: he just wow, that's crazy talk.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So when the conservative crimes to me is not the issue, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the issue. That's certainly an issue, all right.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the woke lunatics in the world. Yes, the
Speaker 1: controversies continue in weird little backwaters of the Internet among
Speaker 1: woke Swifties over Taylor Swift's new album.
Speaker 5: Which I've listened to quite a bit more than any
Speaker 5: other album she's ever put out. I'm not exactly sure why.
Speaker 5: It's definitely got a bit of a different flavor to
Speaker 5: it in a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2: To all the bitches who wish I would.
Speaker 5: Just die, I mean she didn't, Frank, she didn't used
Speaker 5: to say that.
Speaker 1: Well in the I was just reading about the song
Speaker 1: would which is all about Travis Kelce clearly's abilities and equipment.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that's what it was about. I wouldn't
Speaker 5: pay attention. It's got kind of a seventies disco dance
Speaker 5: thing going.
Speaker 2: And I just wasn't doing horizontal dance. Yes, I wasn't
Speaker 2: catching the lyrics.
Speaker 1: Seconding anyway, even though she's a well known democrat. Apparently,
Speaker 1: her song Canceled contains the lyric I Like my Friends Canceled.
Speaker 1: Some are wondering if she's gone maga one dismission disillusion
Speaker 1: Swifty writing I like my Friends Canceled as the most
Speaker 1: tone deaf lyric A white billionaire with Maga friends could
Speaker 1: release in this climate.
Speaker 5: Man, if you ever respond to anything like that with seriously,
Speaker 5: I mean, like, if you wrote that with serious concern.
Speaker 2: Or anger, what the hell is your life?
Speaker 1: Her song, Ophelia, she says, essentially, she was down and
Speaker 1: then she met the man of her dreams and now
Speaker 1: she's happy again. This was met with this hilariously uptight
Speaker 1: ex post quote. As an actual English major, I refuse
Speaker 1: to listen to a song that implies Ophelia might have
Speaker 1: reconsidered killing herself if she had just dated a quarterback.
Speaker 2: Right, he's a tight end, you idiot.
Speaker 1: Swift is also being a tactis a racist over a
Speaker 1: song wish list where she scoffs at the empty dreams
Speaker 1: of others and asks for life simple things. Essentially a
Speaker 1: house in a nice place with some kids and a
Speaker 1: driveway with a basketball hoop and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Boss up, settled down, got a wish list? Okay, the
Speaker 1: leftist word police have translated this into an act of
Speaker 1: white supremacy.
Speaker 2: I want to have your.
Speaker 1: White babies, and I want, actually want our entire neighborhood
Speaker 1: to be racially homogenous.
Speaker 2: Mule day TikToker.
Speaker 1: Now Taylor's calling you all childless cat ladies because she's
Speaker 1: about to pop out some kids.
Speaker 2: Eh, all right, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: And there's more, There's so much more.
Speaker 5: And I always say the same thing. Do these people
Speaker 5: actually believe this? Or is this just killing time on
Speaker 5: the internet? Did they turn on the Taylor Swift new
Speaker 5: album and think, oh my god, this is dripping in
Speaker 5: white supremacy or something and they're so upset? Right, gets
Speaker 5: This is what I always say. Also, get married, have
Speaker 5: some kids, have some kids. You'll be so busy you
Speaker 5: won't have time for this nonsense. That's what you need
Speaker 5: to do. You need to be busy all day with
Speaker 5: laundry and kids and picking them up in homework, so
Speaker 5: you don't have time to think about this weirdness.
Speaker 1: Are you troubled by idiotic, fake concerns? Try Kids Kids?
Speaker 2: What's a Kay Kids brand? Kids?
