Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe.
Speaker 2: Getty Armstrong and Jetty and Gee Armstrong and Gaddy Strong. Welcome.
Speaker 2: We are off this week.
Speaker 3: So you're gonna hear some best of replays of the
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty Shaw.
Speaker 2: You're gonna love him.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be here. I'm gonna be at home, sitting
Speaker 3: in my car and listening to the radio while you
Speaker 3: do so.
Speaker 4: While you're enjoying yourselves this week, why not hit armstrong
Speaker 4: a Getty dot com and pick up an A and
Speaker 4: G T shirt or hat for your favorite ang fan,
Speaker 4: including the cut the Crap shirt or the hot Dogs
Speaker 4: are Dogs.
Speaker 2: It's up to you.
Speaker 3: So I tweeted out this thing over the weekend, this
Speaker 3: long thread about the sexual revolution that I found was
Speaker 3: really interesting and a lot of the responses were fantastic,
Speaker 3: and I thought, well, that sparks a conversation we should
Speaker 3: do on the air, and then became aware of the
Speaker 3: perfect story to lead us into that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this young British woman, she's an only Fans performer.
Speaker 2: Lily Phillips.
Speaker 4: She's twenty three years old from an intact home, middle
Speaker 4: class English, but she's a porn on OnlyFans performer and
Speaker 4: decided to have sex with one hundred men in one
Speaker 4: day as some sort of clickbait publicity stunt thing, and
Speaker 4: documentary filmmaker decided to make a documentary about the before
Speaker 4: and after.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering what people like, People who haven't heard this already,
Speaker 3: what their initial reaction to that was. Is there anybody
Speaker 3: listening whose initial reaction was anywhere in the realm of
Speaker 3: that's hot or were was practically everybody's initial reaction like
Speaker 3: physical revulsion. I get physical revulsion from hearing that. Not
Speaker 3: only do I not have a ooh that sounds hot,
Speaker 3: it kind of makes me sick to my stomach to
Speaker 3: think about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's physically disgusting on several different levels, including the
Speaker 4: fact that the body is not meant to take that
Speaker 4: the female forms specifically. And secondly, I think there's a
Speaker 4: soul deep revulsion to any person being exploited in that way,
Speaker 4: including by herself. That's that's a damaged, sad soul.
Speaker 3: Well, who are the guys that participated in it and
Speaker 3: enjoyed it enough?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know the logistics of it.
Speaker 4: Honestly well, and a lot of the documentaries about how
Speaker 4: she realized she had to remove her mind and her
Speaker 4: soul from her body during this experience, and that was
Speaker 4: disturbing and discouraging and saddening and sickening and blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: But now you know, the bizarre and truly horrifying PostScript
Speaker 4: is she's announced that she's going to have sex with
Speaker 4: a thousand guys in a day as her next stunt.
Speaker 3: It's interesting that her immediate reaction at the end of
Speaker 3: the day of having sex with the hundred dudes was tearful,
Speaker 3: and I've seen the promo physically obviously emotionally physically shaken.
Speaker 3: I mean, she was disturbed by what had happened. And
Speaker 3: I saw one reviewer say that this documentary is the
Speaker 3: best anti porn documentary unintentionally you could possibly make.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I believe that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are serious psychological issues going on there.
Speaker 3: It's terrible, right. Does it mean anything more or not
Speaker 3: about our culture or anything? Or is it just a
Speaker 3: one off, stupid stunt. We can discuss that, but it
Speaker 3: leads into this pretty good I came across this and
Speaker 3: retweeted it. Like I said, I thought it was interesting
Speaker 3: this guy thinker writer person. The sexual revolution was a
Speaker 3: disaster sixty years ago. They tried to redefine sexuality to
Speaker 3: liberate mankind using finger quotes. Everything they said was a lie.
Speaker 3: Yet their lives have ruined millions of lives. Here's the
Speaker 3: worst live the sexual revolution that is still plaguing society today.
Speaker 3: The sexual Revolution became prominent in the nineteen sixties on
Speaker 3: the service I said that. In practice, however, it sought
Speaker 3: something sinister, societal destruction. It sounds crazy at first, but
Speaker 3: let's meet one of the movements leaders. Do you know
Speaker 3: if her name is Kate Millet or Millett or I
Speaker 3: don't know, am I L E. T. T. Kate Millet
Speaker 3: was a leading figure of this sexual revolution. Time magazine
Speaker 3: called her the Karl Marx of the women's movement.
Speaker 2: Like that's a good exnod compliment.
Speaker 3: The thesis of her work was the family is a
Speaker 3: den of slavery, with the man as the bourgeoisie and
Speaker 3: the woman and children as the proletariat. Here she is
Speaker 3: on the cover of Time magazine back in the sixties.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right here.
Speaker 4: Well, they got the march part right, Yeah, that's part
Speaker 4: of Marxism. She was just turned her attention to that
Speaker 4: aspect of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Millet said casual sex would free women from the
Speaker 3: slavery of marriage.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go.
Speaker 3: The fact that she thinks marriage is slavery is all
Speaker 3: you need to know about her. In reality, however, Millet
Speaker 3: wasn't after liberation like any Marxists. She wanted one thing,
Speaker 3: societal destruction. Her sistery Mallory shared a chilling story explaining
Speaker 3: Millet's true agenda. Mallory recalled attending a feminist meeting with
Speaker 3: Millet in nineteen sixty nine. The meeting began with a
Speaker 3: disturbing chant, which she called the Litany of Evil. It
Speaker 3: explained the core beliefs of Millet in her group. Here's
Speaker 3: the chance, as written in the book The Anti Mary,
Speaker 3: which is all about this. Why are we here today?
Speaker 3: The chairwoman asked, to make the revolution? They answered, what
Speaker 3: kind of revolution? She replied, the cultural revolution? They chanted,
Speaker 3: And how do we make the cultural revolution? She demanded,
Speaker 3: by destroying the American family. How do we destroy the
Speaker 3: family by destroying the American patriarch? How do we destroy
Speaker 3: the American patriarch by taking away his power? How do
Speaker 3: we do that by by destroying monogamy, They shouted, and
Speaker 3: everybody cheered. How do we destroy monogamy by promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution, abortion,
Speaker 3: and homosexuality. And here we find the great lie of
Speaker 3: the sexual revolution, push promiscuity to destroy the family. But
Speaker 3: how does promiscuity destroy the family? And this is where
Speaker 3: it got really interesting to me. It breaks the bonds
Speaker 3: of marriage, destroys trust, and so's division between the sexes.
Speaker 3: Casual sex is dehumanizing other people's bodies become the means
Speaker 3: for selfish pleasure. People degrade one another, themselves and their souls.
Speaker 3: A society that celebrates promiscuity is a dying society. To
Speaker 3: idolize sex is to destroy trust, friendship, and family. In short,
Speaker 3: all civilizations live and die by their families. What then,
Speaker 3: does healthy sexuality look like. Sexuality reaches peak virtue when
Speaker 3: it's expressed in marriage, and it's procreative. Why it orients
Speaker 3: your sexuality to love instead of lust. It becomes a
Speaker 3: force of charity that builds loving families. Monogamy is about
Speaker 3: giving everything to a person you love most. You don't
Speaker 3: lose freedom, you flourish and virtue. Procreation meanwhile, teaches you
Speaker 3: to love your children more than yourself. Families become the
Speaker 3: force of charitable love. They're the bedrock of a healthy society.
Speaker 3: The takeaway above all offered grace who fallen victim to
Speaker 3: the lies of the sexual revolution. This person wrote beyond that,
Speaker 3: reject the lies of casual sex. Lust drives you to ruin,
Speaker 3: but love offers an endless exaltation of virtue. One of
Speaker 3: the interesting things I thought about all that is he
Speaker 3: at no point got into the religion part. That those
Speaker 3: who are such proponents of, you know, free sex and
Speaker 3: sleeping around everything like that always point to people that
Speaker 3: are against that is some sort of religious stick in
Speaker 3: the MUDs wackadoo's.
Speaker 2: He didn't have to go there at all.
Speaker 3: Metallists, I mean, there is no denying that the Central
Speaker 3: Revolution tracks perfectly with the breakdown of the American family
Speaker 3: and endless divorces and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's interesting to me. And I'm reminded of the
Speaker 4: old saying that the greatest trick the devil ever played
Speaker 4: was convincing nankind he doesn't doesn't exist. The extent to
Speaker 4: which the Marxists of the world pitch various policies, whether
Speaker 4: we're talking about what we were just talking about. And
Speaker 4: I had professors, at least one who as just kind
Speaker 4: of a casual throwaway as part of one of our discussions,
Speaker 4: I think it was a philosophy class, explained that the
Speaker 4: family is actually an institution of oppression and evil, and
Speaker 4: society will only be free when the nuclear family is
Speaker 4: torn apart. And I was sitting there, as a Midwestern
Speaker 4: kid from a happy, intact family, thinking the hell are
Speaker 4: you talking about?
Speaker 2: Whee to do what? Well?
Speaker 4: See, Well, that's my ultimate point though, which I'm working
Speaker 4: my way toward, is that whether it's that or the
Speaker 4: Alvin Braggs of the world and the Cesobodines, the progressive
Speaker 4: prosecutors who are in George Giscones who are pitching that
Speaker 4: we need this criminal justice reform to bring social justice
Speaker 4: to the streets and.
Speaker 2: We cannot prosecute our way out of the things we see.
Speaker 4: As if anybody thinks you can, again getting back to
Speaker 4: the devil convincing us he doesn't exist. What percentage of
Speaker 4: the population understands that these people make these moral arguments
Speaker 4: for these policies, and the people the real activists don't
Speaker 4: mean a word of it.
Speaker 2: Now, they're useful idiots on the color campuses.
Speaker 4: They've bought the moral arguments and they think they're sincere,
Speaker 4: and so they pitch them to humanity. But at the
Speaker 4: core of it, it's not because they think these policies
Speaker 4: will help our society.
Speaker 2: It's that they think it will tear it apart.
Speaker 4: They want to bring on collapse in chaos because in
Speaker 4: that chaos, this is a straight out of March.
Speaker 2: It's amazing nobody knows this.
Speaker 4: Out of that chaos they take control and institute communism.
Speaker 3: Well how about this, how much do you think the
Speaker 3: sexual revolution plays a part in the breakdown of the
Speaker 3: American family as this person just laid out.
Speaker 2: Do you agree with it? Very very large?
Speaker 3: Yeah, very very large, if not like practically all of it.
Speaker 2: Who I don't one in that?
Speaker 3: I mean who I mean, I can understand how if
Speaker 3: you're a twenty two year old guy, you might think
Speaker 3: that's a win. Maybe a twenty two year old woman
Speaker 3: you might think that's a win. But long term, really
Speaker 3: did it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: They are a lot of my favorite things. Agree that
Speaker 4: the transitory feeling of freedom and the enjoyment of promiscuity
Speaker 4: among women was very, very short lived, and among the
Speaker 4: vast majorities of women, they realized, oh, being convinced that
Speaker 4: I can have sex just like a promiscuous guy is great.
Speaker 4: It was a lie. It just enabled them to be
Speaker 4: used by more guys. And you know, I don't judge
Speaker 4: you folks. You do whatever you think is right, whatever
Speaker 4: you feel, and you choose your own life path and
Speaker 4: I wish you well. But there's just no questioning this.
Speaker 4: And we're old enough to have seen several of these cycles.
Speaker 4: All changes, not progress. There are things that catch hold
Speaker 4: and everybody is doing them, everybody's talking about them. It's
Speaker 4: a huge trend in a society that turn out to
Speaker 4: be terrible, practically disastrous. Just because everybody's doing it doesn't
Speaker 4: mean it's a good idea.
Speaker 2: Are from them.
Speaker 3: That's really interesting. Do you think there's any putting the
Speaker 3: genie back in the bottle on that sort of thing
Speaker 3: outside of like a cataclysmic, you know, great depression, World
Speaker 3: War sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 4: I mean, in spite of these big societal waves we've
Speaker 4: been talking about, people still have the capacity to make
Speaker 4: their own judgments and craft their own lives. I suspect
Speaker 4: that among people who see it that more the way
Speaker 4: we see it, it'll be fine. But no, I think
Speaker 4: you're right to have a serious change back to a
Speaker 4: more traditional view of sexuality and sex and marriage and
Speaker 4: that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would take some huge, huge societal change.
Speaker 3: I just I'm surprised there's not more like just looking
Speaker 3: at the results and thinking, Okay, are we better off
Speaker 3: here than we were before? And if you think so,
Speaker 3: explain to me in what way you have more sexual
Speaker 3: partners by the end of your life. How's that a
Speaker 3: win necessarily?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's tough because people just they're living their lives. They're
Speaker 4: they're surrounded by one hundred different inputs and swirling you know,
Speaker 4: currents of this, that and the other, and it's tough
Speaker 4: for them to really nail down one particular aspect of
Speaker 4: life like this and say, okay, that change has had
Speaker 4: a bad result.
Speaker 2: It's just all too confusing.
Speaker 3: I think, Well, I don't think what this one is
Speaker 3: that confusing. I think it's a fairly straight line from
Speaker 3: sexual revolution through the family coming apart, and the explanation
Speaker 3: there of the you know, sowing the seeds of distrust
Speaker 3: and lying and blah blah blah blah blah, all.
Speaker 2: That sort of stuff that's just horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 4: To add to that, the richest government on Earth declaring
Speaker 4: to women all over the country, you don't have to
Speaker 4: be married to a man anymore.
Speaker 2: You can be married to the government.
Speaker 3: Awesome anything, awesome making We've got a lot of replies
Speaker 3: on Twitter, but most of you aren't on Twitter. What
Speaker 3: do you think you could text or email? I mean
Speaker 3: we might have some in mail bag tomorrow. You could
Speaker 3: text now four one, five, nine five K see.
Speaker 2: The Armstrong and Getty Show. Yeah, more Jack or Shoe
Speaker 2: podcasts and our hot Lakes.
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3: So we've got the audio of that only fans chick
Speaker 3: who had sex with one hundred guys in one day.
Speaker 3: And if you were listening to the previous segment, we
Speaker 3: are not celebrating this sort of thing at all. We're
Speaker 3: using an example of the breakdown of I don't know society, well,
Speaker 3: I don't even know.
Speaker 2: I don't even think it's morals.
Speaker 3: I think it's practicality, just the practicality of having a
Speaker 3: happy life.
Speaker 2: A lot of morals, that's what they are. Sure, yeah, sure, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but they're always looked at wrong.
Speaker 3: They're looked at as like a because God said it,
Speaker 3: you have to do it.
Speaker 2: What kind of weird do would believe that? No, it's
Speaker 2: gonna give you a better life, is the reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's been tried five million times living a life,
Speaker 4: and we've figured out the best ways to do it.
Speaker 3: Anyway, back to our question, we've got audio of this
Speaker 3: woman describing what it was like.
Speaker 2: Do we want to hear from them?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, why not? Yeah, I've heard it before. It's
Speaker 4: it's interesting. Go ahead, Michael.
Speaker 2: First one, it's not for the week girls.
Speaker 1: If I'm honest, it was hard.
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd recommend it. Why. I think
Speaker 2: if you're a different type of girl. It's very like.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like being in a sense of like
Speaker 1: it's just a different.
Speaker 4: Feeling. I don't know how to explain it, Like.
Speaker 2: It's not like just having something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just one in, one out, Like it feels intense.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, like more intense than you thought it might
Speaker 2: really and she starts crying in that nice yeah, I
Speaker 2: get to the next one. Michael. I think that was
Speaker 2: kind of the hall pop.
Speaker 4: It is like this is this is irrelevant, stop it.
Speaker 4: This has to do more generally with her only fans
Speaker 4: career and just constantly providing satisfactory content for subscribers. But
Speaker 4: in other clips that I've heard, she talks about she
Speaker 4: can't remember the faces of most of the men. Well,
Speaker 4: of course, not one hundred in a day, how could you?
Speaker 2: And I quote from the Free Press.
Speaker 4: At first, she pretends she's upset because she feels badly
Speaker 4: that some men haven't been satisfied despite traveling a long
Speaker 4: way and supporting her. But soon what appears to be
Speaker 4: the real truth beyond her grief is revealed.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 4: I think it was like feeling so robotic. I've got
Speaker 4: this routine of how we are going to do this,
Speaker 4: and like sometimes you're just disassociated and it's like not normal.
Speaker 4: And in other words, she was describing separating her body
Speaker 4: from her soul, and as this writer points out, the
Speaker 4: way she describes her experience is virtually indistinguishable from the
Speaker 4: symptoms of rape trauma, syndrome, mood swings, dissociations, self blame, guilt,
Speaker 4: and sometimes hypersexuality.
Speaker 3: And then she'll be dealing with a lot of these
Speaker 3: feelings the rest of her life and she's only twenty three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this writer, it's very good, gets into various
Speaker 4: sex workers of various ages and various parts of the world.
Speaker 2: The whole I have to deaden my soul to get
Speaker 2: through it.
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe frettys The Armstrong and Getty Show,
Speaker 1: The arm Strong and Yetdy Show.
Speaker 3: So we were talking about this only fans fan star
Speaker 3: who had sex with one hundred guys in a day
Speaker 3: and they made a documentary about it and it's disgusting.
Speaker 3: And then we rolled into this Twitter thread that I
Speaker 3: came across over the weekend about the sexual revolution and
Speaker 3: out was a lie and it destroyed American families and
Speaker 3: it made women less happy. And maybe you agree with that,
Speaker 3: maybe you don't. Kay, Do you want to weigh in
Speaker 3: on any of this before we get to some texts,
Speaker 3: This whole story makes me sick.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, it's just listening to that clip of her
Speaker 5: talking about what about the aftermath? She sounded like a
Speaker 5: rape victim, and it just this is gonna this is
Speaker 5: She's twenty three years old, right, She's got her whole
Speaker 5: life and she i just feel very bad for this girl.
Speaker 3: She's pretty financially successful. I think she got two million
Speaker 3: dollars for this, and she has like five employees or
Speaker 3: something like that, lives in London, my full time employees,
Speaker 3: so she's But like, is that two million dollars? I
Speaker 3: wasn't trying to justify it, just a just throwing that
Speaker 3: in a couple of texts we got about this whole topic,
Speaker 3: this one. I'm afraid she's going to kill herself in
Speaker 3: the future. I hope not, but that wouldn't shock me.
Speaker 3: As she gets older, it's going to become more clear
Speaker 3: on just on the idea of the sexual revolution was
Speaker 3: a lie and nobody benefited. Got this text I thought
Speaker 3: was interesting. Born in San Francisco, I lived this period
Speaker 3: right this person, and I think I know who they
Speaker 3: are Even then I thought something was off about it.
Speaker 3: And now alone without children and a bunch of cats,
Speaker 3: and I can say, what a krocabloney.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Yeah. From a dude's.
Speaker 3: Side of this, female absolute and relative happiness has gone
Speaker 3: down since the feminism and sexual libertine culture of the sixties.
Speaker 3: Women complained, got their way and made themselves less happy.
Speaker 3: Guess who they're going to blame for their lack of happiness.
Speaker 3: Most divorced men can tell you, haha.
Speaker 4: Right this person, Wow, well, well enjoy that laughing. Last,
Speaker 4: I'm just reminded of the unif for the Joe Getty
Speaker 4: Unified Theory of civilizations.
Speaker 2: That and there's so many examples of it.
Speaker 4: It's almost tedious that we veer from one guardrail to
Speaker 4: the other, never have any idea when we hit the
Speaker 4: sweet spot and keep going until we've gone way too
Speaker 4: far and created a disaster. Then we veer back toward
Speaker 4: the other guardrail. Another example of this, you know, crime
Speaker 4: policy back and forth, there are too many people in prison,
Speaker 4: were too hard on crime, Well, there's too much crime
Speaker 4: in the streets. We didn't need to be harder on crime.
Speaker 4: And it just goes back and forth. Sexuality, I think
Speaker 4: is similar. They're a handful of other fairly obvious examples.
Speaker 3: But on the left side of politics, I don't feel
Speaker 3: like the left appreciates appreciate culture at all and the
Speaker 3: role that plays in society.
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem to be a concern. No.
Speaker 4: I think in general, on the left, including you know,
Speaker 4: moderate lefty people that we could work with, that'd be fine.
Speaker 4: We can talk about policy and come to a happy conclusion.
Speaker 4: There is in general much less regard for the importance
Speaker 4: of culture.
Speaker 2: I would agree completely, and.
Speaker 4: On your outer left, and I'm not talking about five percent,
Speaker 4: I'm talking about like twenty five percent of the left.
Speaker 4: They hate the culture and want to destroy it. Back
Speaker 4: to my theme, a lot of the neo Marxist stuff,
Speaker 4: they pitch it to you as a way to improve society.
Speaker 4: They are fully cognizant of the fact that it will
Speaker 4: not do anything but destroy society.
Speaker 2: That is their goal.
Speaker 4: They've written books, their names are on the spine. This
Speaker 4: is not my fantasy. They will tell you proudly that
Speaker 4: this is their goal.
Speaker 2: Does that bother.
Speaker 3: Anybody on the left that the champion of the sexual
Speaker 3: revolution was out to destroy the American family because I
Speaker 3: thought that would be better. I mean, I know some
Speaker 3: of you agree with that, but not most of you,
Speaker 3: right anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I will always be amazed till my
Speaker 4: dying day how few people take the radical left at
Speaker 4: their word. They have told you precisely what they're doing,
Speaker 4: and and people like me are considered I don't know,
Speaker 4: paranoid or whatever. It's not paranoid at all.
Speaker 3: Religious wacko. We need some really good transition music.
Speaker 2: Michael. Do you need maybe even two s at different stores?
Speaker 2: Perhaps I do it, stereome go ahead.
Speaker 6: Some help, finding some help, help, boundary for help, take
Speaker 6: a look offering some help, and Vivian, you were so
Speaker 6: close to that million dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's just a regular mom who had
Speaker 3: a chance at a million dollars if she could have solved.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the board. There you got the erring part.
Speaker 3: Some and help are basically completely solved. Help is solved.
Speaker 3: Some is missing wood letter, So it's just what is
Speaker 3: something arring some help? When you hear the beginning of it.
Speaker 3: I want to hear her guesses.
Speaker 6: Wondering some help, answering some help.
Speaker 2: I'm finding some help.
Speaker 6: You run for some help, boundary for help.
Speaker 2: That's boundary for I don't know. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: The nice lady didn't win the money, but you know
Speaker 4: why she didn't because she's no good at the game.
Speaker 3: Well she said she was nervous, and I've had that before,
Speaker 3: where I just I can't I can't like come up
Speaker 3: with things that if I weren't nervous I could come
Speaker 3: up with easily, because then you know, you know, whatever
Speaker 3: kind of situation, but.
Speaker 2: Which is part of the game she's bad at yes, yes, boundary.
Speaker 4: Offering for help again, her her anguish brings me no
Speaker 4: joy whatsoever?
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, too bad, she missed out on a million dollars.
Speaker 4: Well, well, it's the way the cookie crumbled, it is
Speaker 4: exactly Or is this a sign of the cruel new
Speaker 4: Ryan Seacrest era on wheel of fortune and which when
Speaker 4: you rule that wheel with an iron at which no
Speaker 4: holds her barred?
Speaker 2: Perhaps? What was the brilliant book?
Speaker 4: Oh, we interviewed the author so Hoover Foundation guy, Hoover
Speaker 4: Institution guy. But it was about the fact that welfare
Speaker 4: programs of all sorts expand inevitably. If you have like
Speaker 4: pathetic on the scale of one to one hundred, and
Speaker 4: you start a program that's for levels one, two, and three,
Speaker 4: what's the next thing that happens level four? Are advocates
Speaker 4: for level four say, well, whoa whoa level force? Just
Speaker 4: one more level of pathetic? Why aren't they getting any help?
Speaker 3: The book is the High Cost of Good Intentions, and
Speaker 3: it has so many great examples, going clear back to
Speaker 3: revolutionary war veterans and how it started with people who
Speaker 3: fought in the Revolutionary War, then spread to their spouses,
Speaker 3: then spread to their kids, and it ended up being
Speaker 3: people who were alive during the Revolutionary War. And it
Speaker 3: just kept spreading and spreading. And we've done that throughout history.
Speaker 4: A guy who wants picnicked on bunker hill, you know
Speaker 4: whatever it was, Yeah, yeah, it inevitably explains.
Speaker 2: So the mirror image of that, and it's this is
Speaker 2: so insidious. But once you catch on to.
Speaker 7: It, nobody gives a crap about billion or will shed
Speaker 7: a single tier. They are an utterly unsympathetic group when
Speaker 7: it comes to especially being taxed. But you've got this
Speaker 7: concept of taxing unrealized gains, which has been seen as abhorrent.
Speaker 7: But if you can get that concept into play against
Speaker 7: the utterly unsympathetic billionaires, soon it's one hundred millionaires and
Speaker 7: you're thinking, I still don't give a crap. Wait, and
Speaker 7: you won't have to wait long, mister, honey, honey, we
Speaker 7: just hit five.
Speaker 2: Hundred thousand dollars in the four oh one k. They
Speaker 2: are coming for.
Speaker 4: You, man, they are absolutely coming for you. The income
Speaker 4: tax originally was extremely narrow. I can't tell you the
Speaker 4: number of government social Security. Again, the mirror image was
Speaker 4: originally for like two percent of the population. Can you
Speaker 4: realize how this would work?
Speaker 3: So you got stock in Tesla or whatever, Tesla goes
Speaker 3: up a lot this year, Okay, well you made you
Speaker 3: made money, you owe tax on that. So my Tesla
Speaker 3: stock went up fifty and now I owe you whatever.
Speaker 3: You'd have to pay twenty grand, even though I haven't
Speaker 3: cashed it out yet. And of course the Tesla stock
Speaker 3: could go back down after that, and then what do
Speaker 3: you do.
Speaker 4: So setting aside the whole introducing something abhorrent mission creep
Speaker 4: principle as we were talking about last hour, it would
Speaker 4: also be absolutely devastating to the stock market and everybody's
Speaker 4: four oh one case, because there would be huge dumping
Speaker 4: of stock among the investor class. It would be too
Speaker 4: expensive to keep it, and it would happen a year
Speaker 4: after year after year to avoid taxes and kenonymous drop
Speaker 4: me a text Also, the unrealized gain tax is simply
Speaker 4: paying the tax on that stuff early.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any more money.
Speaker 4: In fact, it makes less because the asset will not
Speaker 4: grow as quickly because of the tax being extracted from it.
Speaker 4: The capital gains tax will be paid upon death or
Speaker 4: transfer like it is now, but it won't be able
Speaker 4: to grow as much. What seems like a tax gain
Speaker 4: is just paying it early. Typical shell game taxes are now,
Speaker 4: some people might argue, but billionaires who have say a
Speaker 4: billion dollars worth of stock, they can borrow against that
Speaker 4: as income and spend that money and live lavishly and
Speaker 4: the rest of it well go with a value added tax.
Speaker 4: Then if you buy anything, there's a value added tax,
Speaker 4: but you have to eliminate income taxes and one hundred
Speaker 4: other dopey you know, duplicit as taxes.
Speaker 2: But anyway, that's enough of that.
Speaker 3: I vote on who's got the most joy. I don't
Speaker 3: pay attention to this stuff.
Speaker 2: Amazon announced five days a week. Beiches. Sorry, that's the
Speaker 2: greatst way to put it.
Speaker 4: They're telling their corporate staff to be in the office
Speaker 4: every weekday.
Speaker 2: There is stroom draw and angst.
Speaker 3: I've got such a dichotomy of opinions on Amazon. I
Speaker 3: hate that it's closed down many of my favorite local
Speaker 3: stores in my small town because they couldn't keep up
Speaker 3: with Amazon. On the other hand, I wanted a little
Speaker 3: hair trimmer for my man escaping Katie.
Speaker 2: You know, Abe oil for your puff daddy. You know how, Katie,
Speaker 2: I'm always manscaping. I need to.
Speaker 4: I just yeah, it's no kidding, turn off here, It's
Speaker 4: just close your eyes and cover your ears.
Speaker 3: This is harassment because I was gonna mention it. I
Speaker 3: just knew you really don't want to hear that. You
Speaker 3: really really don't even want to think about that. But
Speaker 3: I bought a manscaping tool on Amazon and I had
Speaker 3: it in three hours at my house. No, they probably
Speaker 3: didn't even have what I was looking for, film, a
Speaker 3: porn or what.
Speaker 2: Why do you need a party? I didn't need a
Speaker 2: three hours. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I'm going to a freakout or whatever you call those likes,
Speaker 3: freak session, freaking freak.
Speaker 8: Off, freak off with this story, Jack, But how does
Speaker 8: any store stay open when I can order something and
Speaker 8: have it at my house in two hours, I know,
Speaker 8: or tonight or tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing, absolutely amazing. And now I'm being
Speaker 3: well groomed and smooth as a dolphin.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh God, kill me. Now, this is
Speaker 2: the worst sixty seconds right the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah more Jack, more Joe podcasts and our hot links
Speaker 1: and the Armstrong and Getty show, you.
Speaker 2: Could spend the rest of my life here. I didn't
Speaker 2: see that.
Speaker 3: Con oh, I think I think it's a little luly
Speaker 3: for you to say I'll spend the rest of my
Speaker 3: life here.
Speaker 2: You're gonna freak him out. He's gonna run away. How
Speaker 2: long is are How long do you known each other?
Speaker 2: All right, that's enough.
Speaker 3: Tom Hanks, so young Tom Hanks trying to change his
Speaker 3: voice while it's an old the Tom Hanks trying to
Speaker 3: sound like a young Tom Hanks because they're doing that
Speaker 3: deaging technology that most of us hated in the movie
Speaker 3: The Irishman. If we saw it, I just didn't think
Speaker 3: it was that great anyway. Tom Hanks and Robin Wright
Speaker 3: pairing again. You remember them for Forrest Gump in a
Speaker 3: new movie called Here that's getting so much attention because
Speaker 3: it is set forty years ago, and it looks like
Speaker 3: Tom Hanks when he was in the TV show Bosom Buddies,
Speaker 3: at least in the pictures I've seen, and a young
Speaker 3: Robin Wright then. And it's a one like the camera
Speaker 3: never moves I've read. I don't understand how that could
Speaker 3: possibly it be like a play. I don't know yeah,
Speaker 3: sounds like anyway, it's getting a lot of attention for
Speaker 3: those two gimmicks.
Speaker 2: Whether or not it's good or not, I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, it its not like a Forrest Gump spin off, right,
Speaker 4: the same team, same writer, same director.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, and then Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
Speaker 3: But most of the time when movies have gimmicks, we
Speaker 3: deagified or this or that, oftentimes that that the gimmick
Speaker 3: is the main thing they got going for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we'll see.
Speaker 4: So Supreme Court decision came out yesterday somewhat about abortion.
Speaker 2: It's really it's it's again fairly murky.
Speaker 4: It has to do with Idaho as banned almost all
Speaker 4: abortions except to save a woman's life or rape and
Speaker 4: incept that sort of thing. And the suit said that
Speaker 4: conflicts with a federal law that says you have to
Speaker 4: render emergency care to a person to save their life
Speaker 4: that supersedes everything, or to stabilize their condition. And it's
Speaker 4: just an argument around the particulars of our right stabilize
Speaker 4: a woman versus saving her life and what does that mean.
Speaker 2: And it's really a three.
Speaker 4: To three to three decision that said, you know, we're
Speaker 4: not going to stay this. You go ahead and treat
Speaker 4: these women and if they need an emergency abortion, it's
Speaker 4: not against the rules.
Speaker 2: But the lower courts are going to keep looking at this.
Speaker 4: Plus Idaho has changed its stance a little bit, plus
Speaker 4: this and that, and it's just it's not definitive at all,
Speaker 4: Like so many of these decisions so far.
Speaker 3: Anti abortion activists delta blow by the Supreme Court yesterday.
Speaker 4: I suppose that's true, but it's not much of a blow.
Speaker 4: It's not very informative that headline glance. Oh no, no reporting.
Speaker 4: Mainstream media reporting on Supreme Court decisions is practically useless
Speaker 4: and it might be counterproductive. And we got an email
Speaker 4: from somebody who is kind of edging close to the
Speaker 4: point I want to make, so I'll make it. There
Speaker 4: have been a handful of cases, including important ones like
Speaker 4: the censorship case where the Soups come out with their
Speaker 4: decision after months of consideration, of wrangling and behind the
Speaker 4: scenes and blah blah blah, it's the end of the session.
Speaker 2: Here we are a Jew and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 9: The ones where you say, you know, we don't think
Speaker 9: the people have standing can't you just come Why don't
Speaker 9: you figure that out first? Right when you first get
Speaker 9: it together, you look at all the cases and say,
Speaker 9: all right, let's figure out if everybody's got standing before
Speaker 9: we waste any more of our times.
Speaker 2: Come up with a bad fun up front.
Speaker 3: So everybody's waiting for the final definitive government versus social
Speaker 3: media company's ruling.
Speaker 2: Now they don't have a stand, Well, why did you
Speaker 2: just say that? They're back in October? Yink you want,
Speaker 2: you can't make us.
Speaker 3: Here's my least favorite New York Post headline of the
Speaker 3: day that's designed to get you to click on it.
Speaker 3: I applied for hooters jobs to honor my dad, but
Speaker 3: I was rejected despite having I gotta say this slow
Speaker 3: so you get it all. There's just two lines, but
Speaker 3: there's a lot here. There are only two lines, but
Speaker 3: there's a lot in them. There's much to take in
Speaker 3: paying attention. I applied for a hooter's job to honor
Speaker 3: my dad. We could unpack that right there. What the
Speaker 3: hell does that mean? I applied for a hooter's job
Speaker 3: to honor my dad. Okay, that's the thing. Is dying
Speaker 3: wish was that his daughter would wear the tiny little
Speaker 3: orange shorts.
Speaker 2: And the white sox. Yes, Katie, Oh, I was just
Speaker 2: is that or a stripper?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 3: Anyway, honor my father. I applied for a hooter's job
Speaker 3: to honor my dad. I was re rejected despite having
Speaker 3: three boob jobs. Cowny air enough And of course there's
Speaker 3: a picture too small to see what's going on that
Speaker 3: you would click on the story boob jobs?
Speaker 5: You say, I thought you were going to say, despite
Speaker 5: having three boobs, and that was going to be a
Speaker 5: whole story in itself.
Speaker 4: Well, you'd think she'd be at least fifty percent more
Speaker 4: likely to be higher than the average applicant.
Speaker 2: You got to join the circus.
Speaker 4: I haven't been to a circus that features that sort
Speaker 4: of act in many moons.
Speaker 2: You gotta go south through the border for that sort
Speaker 2: of thing. Oh boy, I think I'll stay there. I
Speaker 2: applied for a hooter's job to honor my dad.
Speaker 7: What.
Speaker 2: I was rejected despite having three boob jobs? What again?
Speaker 2: But I did not click on the story, so I
Speaker 2: have no more.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I put in an app at Buffalo Wild Wings. But
Speaker 4: then I thought, what would my dear depart a dad want?
Speaker 2: He'd want me at.
Speaker 3: Hooters, Right, one more boob job, but I'm going to
Speaker 3: fill out the application.
