Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Katty en He Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Has just announced that seven to eleven will close six
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five US stores this year. The company
Speaker 2: explained that personal consumption had softened, particularly among low income households,
Speaker 2: as inflation continued to weigh on spending. Yes, that's how
Speaker 2: bad things are in America. Folks can't afford to eat
Speaker 2: at seven to eleven. What's next? Are Americans be forced
Speaker 2: to limit themselves to a sensible gulp?
Speaker 1: Damn it, this is America.
Speaker 2: I do not believe I should have to drink from
Speaker 2: any cup I couldn't possibly.
Speaker 1: Also drown in. Oh my god, I saw somebody, several
Speaker 1: people over the week, but I saw somebody carrying around
Speaker 1: this trash can of coal of some sort. I mean
Speaker 1: the size of these things. And we have a seven eleven,
Speaker 1: a brand new one that opened near us like a
Speaker 1: year or so ago. It's nice. It's in a nicer
Speaker 1: area town next to us, and is new and clean,
Speaker 1: and it's fantastic. My view of seven elevens is often
Speaker 1: because it's been in a bad neighborhood and it's been
Speaker 1: there for so long, and it's grimy. Yeah that I
Speaker 1: kind of associated seven eleven with well, grime, but grime
Speaker 1: and crime. I used to love me as slurpe. I
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend who would like her drink was we
Speaker 1: were like eighteen years old. Her drink was slow gin
Speaker 1: in a some flavor of slurpy.
Speaker 3: Good Lord, that was her favorite drink. Nice sip round
Speaker 3: a summer day though, slurpy that. Yeah, you're at a
Speaker 3: park or a ballgame or whatever. Yeah, you get that
Speaker 3: little little not that I approved certainly of drinking in
Speaker 3: any form, but you get that just little summertime bozzgoing.
Speaker 1: You are gonna like this, I think. Supreme Court Justice
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as a threat to of them
Speaker 1: America yesterday in a speech probably because it is, probably
Speaker 1: because it is. He doesn't talk much when he's on
Speaker 1: the bench, but he gave a speech yesterday. I'll read
Speaker 1: ABC News' version of this. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Speaker 1: on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political
Speaker 1: philosophy he described as an existential threat to America. And
Speaker 1: the principles it was founded on two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: years ago, once again to Joe Getty. Probably because it
Speaker 1: is quote. Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government,
Speaker 1: Thomas said in a speech at the University of Texas
Speaker 1: Austin Law School yesterday. A spirit of cynicism, rejection, hostility,
Speaker 1: and animus toward America by Americans has taken hold, he said,
Speaker 1: and the remarks carried on c Span once again. That's
Speaker 1: because that has happened, is why he was saying that.
Speaker 1: He said, the values enshrined in the seventeen seventy six
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence have fallen out of favor among Americans,
Speaker 1: a trend perpetrated, he argued, by intellectuals and the nation's
Speaker 1: colleges and universities. Well, stop me, stop me if he
Speaker 1: says anything even close to not obviously true. Thomas also
Speaker 1: said he believes many people no longer believe all men
Speaker 1: are created equal and deserving of unalienable rights protected by
Speaker 1: limited government. Progressivism holds that our rights and our dignities
Speaker 1: come not from God but from government. It requires of
Speaker 1: the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with the Constitution
Speaker 1: premised on the transcendent origin of our rights. Correct. Still correct.
Speaker 3: It occurs to me when Judy and I are on
Speaker 3: vacation this summery to have Clarence Thomas fill in tinshit
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 1: Thomas said, Washington has been overrun by elected and appointed
Speaker 1: officials who lack commitment to righteous cause, to traditional morality,
Speaker 1: to national defense, to free enterprise, to religious piety, or
Speaker 1: the original meaning of the Constitution. They recast themselves as institutionalists, pragmatists,
Speaker 1: or thoughtful moderates, all as a way of justifying their
Speaker 1: failure to themselves. I like that part, their failures to themselves,
Speaker 1: their consciousness, and their country. Yeah, there is a lot
Speaker 1: of that I have failed. So what is wrong with
Speaker 1: this country that I am not doing well?
Speaker 3: I would suggest that those are the useful idiots who
Speaker 3: are used by the activists who are trying straight out
Speaker 3: of Soviet propaganda and George Orwell and the rest of it,
Speaker 3: to separate us from our history, separate us from our
Speaker 3: principles and our perception of ourselves in place of self hatred.
Speaker 3: Because a nation that hates itself will not defend.
Speaker 1: Itself Thomas called on Americans to stand up for their
Speaker 1: principles and endure personal sacrifices if necessary, to preserve the
Speaker 1: nation's democracy. Final quote. In my view, we must find
Speaker 1: in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers
Speaker 1: of the declaration have so that we can do for
Speaker 1: our future what they did for theirs. Obviously, he takes
Speaker 1: this as a pretty big threat to the country. What
Speaker 1: the fact that we're educating everyone from K through graduate
Speaker 1: degree to hate their country. Yeah, I do think that
Speaker 1: is a problem and then pave the way for a
Speaker 1: neo Marxist takeover you. This leads me into something that
Speaker 1: our friend Tim retweeted over the weekend, faculty ideology in
Speaker 1: the United States. This is the ideology of you know,
Speaker 1: are you a liberal, a far left liberal, a far
Speaker 1: right conservative, or middle of the road in our university
Speaker 1: systems across the canar colleges across the country, going way
Speaker 1: back to nineteen sixty nine. Giggity giggity, So in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty nine you had even back then it was forty
Speaker 1: five percent liberal compared to twenty seven percent conservative. That's,
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen sixty nine is quite a bit further
Speaker 1: on from when Bill Buckley wrote God and Man at Yale.
Speaker 1: Could you look up that, Katie. I think that came
Speaker 1: out in fifty two or fifty three. I think, if
Speaker 1: I remember right, young William F. Buckley was at Yale
Speaker 1: and like nobody here believes in God, and was just
Speaker 1: shocked by it and wrote a book about it. He
Speaker 1: thought it was so stunning. I mean, it was already
Speaker 1: to the point that because imagine that that had to
Speaker 1: strike him as pretty amazing. At that time, we were
Speaker 1: a lot of church going people in this country, and
Speaker 1: the fact that he could find nobody in the faculty
Speaker 1: that believed in God made you think, well, this is
Speaker 1: not representative of our country. Yes, Katie, e book it
Speaker 1: was in nineteen fifty one, Okay, I was closed.
Speaker 3: So let me throw in very briefly, it is undeniable
Speaker 3: that universities have always been left, including in nineteen sixty nine.
Speaker 3: As it turns out, but what was defined as left now,
Speaker 3: what is defined left now as left is very very
Speaker 3: different than what was then. So I mean, our lefties
Speaker 3: now are miles to the left of a nineteen sixty
Speaker 3: nine lefty right.
Speaker 1: And but trying to you can't see this chart, but
Speaker 1: it's just the line for far left liberal very steep
Speaker 1: up over the years, not surprising. The line for far
Speaker 1: right conservative very steep down, and it started at a
Speaker 1: low number, and middle of the road also down. The
Speaker 1: only number that is up at all is far left liberal,
Speaker 1: and it's up a lot. So it's gone from forty
Speaker 1: five percent of the faculty of our you know, one
Speaker 1: of your college university system across the country, it is
Speaker 1: now seventy five percent far left liberal, only ten percent conservative.
Speaker 1: And that's what the whole country, and you know, at
Speaker 1: the elite universe, it's more like ninety eight to two.
Speaker 1: Or we had that story. Was it Harvard or Yale
Speaker 1: that had completely one hundred percent? There wasn't a single
Speaker 1: conservative that showed up last time they did this survey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was in one major department. Yeah, but see, you
Speaker 1: include all the countries across the colleges across the country,
Speaker 1: where you got some that are you know, probably, oh
Speaker 1: my god, seventy thirty liberal to conservative, you end up
Speaker 1: with an average across the country of a seventy five
Speaker 1: to ten with fifteen percent middle of the road, and
Speaker 1: both those are trending down, by the way, as liberal
Speaker 1: trends up. That's nuts. Why would you have it? I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like it. If it was the other way around,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be good. If our university system was three
Speaker 1: quarters conservative and like ignoring the other political philosophies, that
Speaker 1: wouldn't be good either. And I have a question.
Speaker 3: This is not quippling exactly, but someone on a university
Speaker 3: campus who describes themselves as middle of the road, Yeah,
Speaker 3: what did they believe?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, this is undeniably true. I happen to have
Speaker 3: a featurette of a handful of different stories I could
Speaker 3: do any time on a similar topic. But one headline
Speaker 3: that just got published. DEI is live and well at
Speaker 3: the University of Michigan. It just goes by a different name.
Speaker 3: Not surprisingly, the people we've talked about now and will
Speaker 3: for the rest of my career and life, they have
Speaker 3: not given up at all on taking over the universities,
Speaker 3: haven't been called out by the Trump administration. They've just
Speaker 3: orchestrated a strategic retreat so that they're under the radar screen.
Speaker 3: And we could get into this in a little while.
Speaker 3: But yeah, all those DEI programs and the woke crap,
Speaker 3: they're still there.
Speaker 1: They've just disguised themselves cleverly. Question for America, do America
Speaker 1: do we want our pilots making animal noises? A couple
Speaker 1: of pilots who have been scolded for mooing and I
Speaker 1: think quacking while at the stick of a commercial airline.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that context. To me, very very scary
Speaker 1: story coming up. It's all about the context.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Are they like mooing at people as they get
Speaker 3: on the plane, folks who may be struggling with.
Speaker 1: Them look at him? Yeah, that would fight over the intercom, right,
Speaker 1: That's I wouldn't approve of that. Did they merely fly
Speaker 1: over the Midwest? Look out the window and.
Speaker 3: In the time on our tradition, if you go by
Speaker 3: I herd of cows, at least one person in the
Speaker 3: car must move.
Speaker 1: All right, So that and other stuff all the way.
Speaker 3: We were talking about academia moments ago. Let's not leave
Speaker 3: out the media. Secretary of War Pete Hegsaths calling them
Speaker 3: out for their relentless anti American coverage.
Speaker 4: Of the war, speaking of choosing wisely, a note to
Speaker 4: the press, to the press corps, the American media, as
Speaker 4: I just can't help but notice the endless stream of garbage,
Speaker 4: the relentlessly negative coverage. You cannot resist pedaling despite the
Speaker 4: historic and important success of this effort and the success
Speaker 4: of our troops. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what
Speaker 4: side some of you are actually on.
Speaker 1: It's incredibly on patriotic.
Speaker 4: This same press corps, not this exact same press corps,
Speaker 4: but at least an older press corps bent over backwards
Speaker 4: during the Biden administration to explain away. You explained away
Speaker 4: the disastrous and disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal. You called it the
Speaker 4: greatest airlift in American history. It's almost like you're cheering
Speaker 4: only for one side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those people would sneer at any notion, any notion
Speaker 3: of patriotism.
Speaker 1: You think us. Oh yeah, the crowd that finds patriotism
Speaker 1: kind of Uh, I don't know, what would the word
Speaker 1: be embarrassing? Stupid? Yeah, yeah, only stupid people are patriotic. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Speaking about by the way, on that topic briefly, So
Speaker 1: yesterday I had to have a notary public sign something
Speaker 1: for me, and uh, somehow it came up that he
Speaker 1: was in the Navy stuff like that. So I asked
Speaker 1: him on how much he liked it, and I said, so,
Speaker 1: do you wish you're in the Middle East or not
Speaker 1: right now? And he said hell yeah. I said, so
Speaker 1: you'd go, and he said if they asked me, I'd
Speaker 1: be there Tomorrow. My country asks I'm going, And I
Speaker 1: thought I had that exact same conversation with my brother
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I said, do you wish you're in
Speaker 1: the Middle East? He said, hell yeah, yeah the military
Speaker 1: guys who wish they were there. And then you got
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately, so many young people that under no
Speaker 1: circumstances would be willing to help defend our country. No, well,
Speaker 1: they've been taught to hate it.
Speaker 3: It's not their fault, but we need to somehow deprogram
Speaker 3: them if we can. Speaking of progressivism, a really amusing
Speaker 3: piece I came across by Todd Myers in the Dispatch
Speaker 3: posing the question, and this goes out to our beloved
Speaker 3: friends in the great Northwest. Is Washington State the most
Speaker 3: embarrassing state in the nation. Now California is like, hold
Speaker 3: my chardonnay, but wait, there is a case to be
Speaker 3: made for Washington. As Todd puts it, a combination of
Speaker 3: incompetence and arrogance at least put it in the running.
Speaker 3: He's lived in Washington practically his entire life. He explains
Speaker 3: and appreciates the many wonderful things about it. I love
Speaker 3: Washington State in many ways, including the people of mostly
Speaker 3: eastern Washington. But the decision he goes into the new
Speaker 3: income tax, driving entrepreneurs out of the state, demonizing the
Speaker 3: job creators. Politicians and government bureaucracies across the country make
Speaker 3: decisions that are self destructive, But in Washington, we find
Speaker 3: a way to make mistakes that go beyond ordinary incompetence
Speaker 3: or political hackery.
Speaker 1: And then, and there's some delightful audio to this.
Speaker 3: For example, Washington Department of Licensing recently upgraded its helpline,
Speaker 3: allowing people to choose the language to get a business
Speaker 3: license or whatever when user but when users chose Spanish
Speaker 3: instead of hearing the information in that language, well, let's
Speaker 3: play the audio.
Speaker 1: You have reached the Driver Licensing Service line. If you're
Speaker 1: calling about a vehicle or both, please press one. Please
Speaker 1: press one for English, don't.
Speaker 5: Sob Thank you for calling the Department of Licensing Customers.
Speaker 1: Support Center for asistance.
Speaker 5: Who It's Scarrileina Drider Licensing Office appointment counseling, unexisting appointment
Speaker 5: or questions about an upcoming appointment. Please dress on it
Speaker 5: all over. Callers, please stay on the line.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Letter serve you will need the last quarters of your
Speaker 5: Social Security number and you're the okay.
Speaker 3: Right, I know this has going on too long, but
Speaker 3: the as the person who pusted this points out, wait
Speaker 3: a minute. If you press two for Spanish, you get
Speaker 3: it in English, but with a thick Mexican accent. Right,
Speaker 3: as Tod writes, you must watch the video. It is
Speaker 3: truly remarkable. Press three for Italian. Oh, what's the matter
Speaker 3: you? You don't know how to do this?
Speaker 1: You want to license your cart? It? Wow?
Speaker 3: More on the making the case for Washington State is
Speaker 3: our most observed state out there. Quick colord buddy from
Speaker 3: our friends at rough Greens. The idea of rough Greens
Speaker 3: is you don't have to change your dog's food. Rough
Speaker 3: Greens supplements your dog's diet with natural antioxidants and anti
Speaker 3: inflammatory compounds that help reduce oxidative stress, support immune defense,

Speaker 3: come alive. So back to Washington State. Washington State politicians
Speaker 3: pride themselves on being leaders, a word they use again
Speaker 3: and again in the fight against climate change. The very
Speaker 3: real problem is that much of the government's climate policy
Speaker 3: is quite literally fake. Last November, the state Department of
Speaker 3: Ecology released a report detailing what it said and is
Speaker 3: picked up in the made media. All over the country,
Speaker 3: detailing what it said was were amazing environmental benefits from
Speaker 3: the one and a half billion dollars in projects funded
Speaker 3: by the state's carbon tax. The agency claimed the resultant
Speaker 3: admissions reduction was equivalent to removing forty percent of all
Speaker 3: cars and trucks in the state from.
Speaker 1: The roads for an entire year. That's quite quite an achievement.
Speaker 3: But then, Todd Wrights, after looking at the press release,
Speaker 3: I instantly knew it was false. Within two hours, I'd
Speaker 3: found and verified a problem that made virtually all of
Speaker 3: the claim benefits disappear.
Speaker 1: The department was forced.
Speaker 3: To admit, and it did that the true amount was
Speaker 3: just one percent of what it had originally claimed. Again,
Speaker 3: it's absolutely astounding an error of that magnitude could occur,
Speaker 3: especially on an issue that state leaders loved to lecture
Speaker 3: others about. But none of the so called experts at
Speaker 3: the agency noticed the massive error that was immediately obvious
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, as soon as you said that, I thought, well,
Speaker 1: that's complete, Bs. It has to be.
Speaker 3: There's a lot more to this too. Maybe we'll sprinkle
Speaker 3: some in as the hour goes by.
Speaker 1: Who killed Charlie Kirk? It's not really an open question.
Speaker 1: But there's some info out today that I ask people talking.
Speaker 1: Oh god, so we talked about this while back. There's
Speaker 1: a documentary out about Jerry Springer's show on that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff, and here's a little bit from that.
Speaker 6: I noticed pretty quick what the secret was. Here's how
Speaker 6: we got him to fight. In the beginning, on Springer,
Speaker 6: let's say that I have two brothers in a conflict.
Speaker 6: When you were prepping the guests, you tell one of them.
Speaker 6: If your brother says something you don't like, you can
Speaker 6: yell at him, get up in his face, you can
Speaker 6: even spit on him. But whatever you do, don't hit him.
Speaker 6: Then you don't tell the other person any of that.
Speaker 6: Once you produce one person to get up and spit
Speaker 6: in someone's face, and then you don't give any instruction
Speaker 6: to the other one, the other one is going to
Speaker 6: haul off and knock the hell out of the one
Speaker 6: who did it, and boom, you gotta fight.
Speaker 1: What So there are stags in bum fights with most
Speaker 1: non BOMs. What wow? Well, so, first of all, I
Speaker 1: think most of us thought it was all completely phony.
Speaker 1: He's suggest is that Jerry Springer himself, Oh it was
Speaker 1: really It sounded like Springer to me. But Houston Curtis
Speaker 1: is his name. Yeah, okay, Jerry Springer, impersonator, Houston Curtis,
Speaker 1: he got the job. He's suggesting the fights were real.
Speaker 1: They just prodded them a little to get to the fight.
Speaker 1: But that's an interesting theory, that's an ingenious technique. So
Speaker 1: if you tell me, if he insults, you feel free
Speaker 1: to spit on it. I mean, you could tell me
Speaker 1: that all day long. I'm still not gonna spit on someone.
Speaker 1: So you got to have a certain kind of person,
Speaker 1: don't you. Yeah, i'd say IQ of eighty two or below.
Speaker 1: In fact, you could. Someone could say pretty much anything
Speaker 1: to me and I'm not gonna even get up out
Speaker 1: of my chair, let alone spit on them.
Speaker 3: Well, and or they could offer me five thousand dollars
Speaker 3: if I did spit on someone, and I would tell.
Speaker 1: Them, no, thank you. No, I'm not gonna spit on anyone. Right,
Speaker 1: But so they tell one guy that and then they
Speaker 1: don't tell the other guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can do anything you want, anything the way
Speaker 3: we do it around here, up to including spitting on somebody,
Speaker 3: but just don't throw a punch.
Speaker 1: And the other guy has no idea Joe and I
Speaker 1: had been doing this for so long that way back
Speaker 1: in the day, we used to have TV's on in
Speaker 1: the studio and Springer'd beyond remember like last hour of
Speaker 1: the show, where was that was that in which Tar Charlotte?
Speaker 1: Wherever we were at the time, But Springer'd be on
Speaker 1: and to be like, ah, they're fighting again. The chairs
Speaker 1: would be knocked over and they'd be rolling around on
Speaker 1: the floor, and the crowds chanting.
Speaker 3: Jerry and we're a kind of amateur anthropologists watching it
Speaker 3: with the SoundOff because you know, he couldn't see what's
Speaker 3: being said. But people constantly removing their shirts too, to
Speaker 3: show their anger or or as a preparation fight or something.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I've known a couple of guys like
Speaker 1: that for whatever reason at the bar. At some point
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look over, They'll be in a fight and
Speaker 1: they got their shirt off. It's just the kind of person. Yes, Katie,
Speaker 1: just if we were homesick from school, it was Jerry Springer.
Speaker 1: So you're young enough that that was your home from school.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's funny. Then we talk about it the
Speaker 1: next day and you see that fight. No wonder your
Speaker 1: generations the way it is. When I was homesick from
Speaker 1: school as an old person, we watched like, you know,
Speaker 1: let's make a deal or something. You're watching people fight
Speaker 1: on Jerry Springer. Oh, it was the best. It explains everything.
Speaker 1: I remember watching the soaps occasionally when I was homesick,
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of soupper I remember I got
Speaker 1: so sucked into Days of our lives one time where
Speaker 1: I spent a week in the hospital as a kid,
Speaker 1: that I'd come home from school and ask my mom,
Speaker 1: you know what happened with John and Charlotte.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: That also explains a lot, it sure does. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Joe just brought up a little bit ag a
Speaker 1: conversation you heard about the whole Charlie Kirk assassination. I thought,
Speaker 1: why is that? Oh, it's because there's some new information
Speaker 1: out today from the atl They're unable to identify the
Speaker 1: thirty caliber class fragment bullet that they recovered from the
Speaker 1: scene of Charlie Kirk's murder, and that has caused people
Speaker 1: to think, you see, it wasn't him, as somebody else
Speaker 1: shot him. He's being framed or whatever. The ATF is.
Speaker 1: The rest of the ATF his report is, but the
Speaker 1: bullet jagment, the bullet jacket fragment did have the stuff
Speaker 1: inscribed on it, and it matches the tooling of what
Speaker 1: he used at his home. So he had a certain
Speaker 1: tool he was using to inscribe on there what stuff
Speaker 1: about trans or ATF or whatever nonsense. It was from
Speaker 1: the crazy person and that matches up. So they so, no,
Speaker 1: they were able to conclusively connect that shelf fragment with
Speaker 1: the shooter that we all know, the trans young trans
Speaker 1: dude moron that killed Charlie Kirk but are running with.
Speaker 1: They couldn't identify the caliber of the shell. It wasn't him.
Speaker 1: Proof and the whole conspiracy that it was the Jews
Speaker 1: and that it was Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk's wife, that
Speaker 1: horrible thing that she announced this week. She was supposed
Speaker 1: to speak at a Turning Point t TPUSA event and
Speaker 1: she had to cancel because she's gotten so many death threats.
Speaker 1: They don't think they can protect her, particularly because Candace
Speaker 1: Owens has gone on a run recently with more information
Speaker 1: about her. She's a robot controlled by the Jews. She's
Speaker 1: not even a human. I watched this video yesterday from
Speaker 1: Candas owns God. Candas is either just a Charlatan or
Speaker 1: crazy or both. But some of you out there believe
Speaker 1: that it's possible that Charlie Kirk's widow is a robot
Speaker 1: controlled by the Jews. You're nuts if you believe that
Speaker 1: or even considered a possibility. You're so crazy you should
Speaker 1: go to a mental institution right now, for the sake
Speaker 1: of society.
Speaker 3: I had a very disturbing conversation today with a couple
Speaker 3: of guys who I thought would never go down this road,
Speaker 3: who are very much on the canvas road, and the hey,
Speaker 3: there's no explaining this, but and you know, I didn't
Speaker 3: have time or interest in trying to set them straight.
Speaker 3: But grifters, like Candace, and they're a handful of them,
Speaker 3: they say things that are true and describe nefarious motives
Speaker 3: to them when there's a perfectly reasonable motive.
Speaker 1: They say things that are partly.
Speaker 3: True, maybe even seventy five percent true, but they leave
Speaker 3: out that twenty five percent that completely changes your perception
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 1: They do that all the time.
Speaker 3: And then third, they just make crap up and they
Speaker 3: stated with complete confidence. They assure you they have it
Speaker 3: from the highest sources, and It is as fictional as
Speaker 3: I don't know, the Easter Bunny, and but people fall
Speaker 3: for it for the reasons we've discussed on a number
Speaker 3: of occasion.
Speaker 1: This is a new level of whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call this sort of thing. The fact that this young
Speaker 1: mom of little kids has her husband's head practically blown
Speaker 1: off in front of her and she ends up fearing
Speaker 1: for her life. Yeah, because of this crazy s that
Speaker 1: people are spewing out there for financial gain and for
Speaker 1: no other reason. Yeah, is just a terrible development, and
Speaker 1: I hope it's not, but I would guess that it is.
Speaker 1: Just like we'll look back on this and say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is when this started, this era of this sort of.
Speaker 3: Thing began, the new normal, if I may indulge in
Speaker 3: that horrible cliche. Yeah, it's it's awful. And the people
Speaker 3: who are perpetrated are evil. I mean, they are just
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty proof evil on our planet perverting
Speaker 3: people's minds like that. And you know the fact that
Speaker 3: these grifters are grifters doesn't bother me that much. They
Speaker 3: are grifters everywhere, but the fact that they would take
Speaker 3: their grift to the point that they're making unimaginable amounts
Speaker 3: of money, but putting innocent people their very lives at
Speaker 3: risk and doing something is obscene as bringing horror and
Speaker 3: pain and fear on the widow of a young man
Speaker 3: who was murdered trying to encourage open conversation.
Speaker 1: I was just the level of evil is just unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right about the grifter thing. Fine, Like a musician
Speaker 1: Steve Earl says, it's snake oil, y'all, it's been around
Speaker 1: for a long long time. That's fine. But if you're
Speaker 1: selling me Jerry Springer, or if you're snake oil, you
Speaker 1: know you're selling me water with cherry flavoring in it
Speaker 1: and telling me it'll cure my ills. You know it's grifting.
Speaker 1: But nobody's really harmed. You lost a little money. This
Speaker 1: is your right evil And uh, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's any stopping it is the problem.
Speaker 3: No, it's it has diagnosed and figured out how to
Speaker 3: exploit a fundamental couple of aspects of human psychology in
Speaker 3: a way that's just crazy, crazy, troubling.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this.
Speaker 3: A couple of days ago, a quoting Arthur Brooks the
Speaker 3: Great Psychologists or whatever it is. But about the sort
Speaker 3: of personality types that tend to fall for this, the
Speaker 3: needs that are fulfilled by it. It's you know, it
Speaker 3: reminds me of certain horrific political movements through history. They
Speaker 3: have understood human psychology and harnessed it to evil, evil purposes.
Speaker 1: But similar But didn't you think there was a limit
Speaker 1: for things that people would believe? Yes, I mean there
Speaker 1: are crazy people that will believe anything, But like masses
Speaker 1: of people that believe George H. W. Bush was raping,
Speaker 1: killing and eating babies, there are lots of people who
Speaker 1: believe that. There are lots of people who believe Erica
Speaker 1: Kirk is a robot run by the Israelis. Like I
Speaker 1: thought there was a limit to what you could push,
Speaker 1: yeah and find any takers. The only upside to this,
Speaker 1: and it's not nearly enough.
Speaker 3: The whole Internet conspiracy culture is that we're getting a
Speaker 3: sense of Like you're asking what percentages of folks are
Speaker 3: and there's probably a spectrum of from skeptical to credulous.
Speaker 3: Credulous meaning you believe, you will believe, you believe anything.
Speaker 3: And I've been shocked at how credulous a lot of
Speaker 3: people are, how easily duped they are maybe again they're
Speaker 3: running up against I mean, Kennice is exceptionally bright. She
Speaker 3: is way smart enough to learn how to manipulate people
Speaker 3: and exploit them.
Speaker 1: And the science has gotten really good. And from that
Speaker 1: story you had a couple of weeks ago, she's making
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean natural ballplayer money, like all
Speaker 3: star ballplayers.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. You know. And you probably remember me
Speaker 1: saying this to people, like in private. One thing I've
Speaker 1: said to people for years, like if they just talk
Speaker 1: about in this job or whatever, I say, one thing
Speaker 1: I've learned from this line of work, emails, phone calls, text,
Speaker 1: They're way more crazy people than you thought there were.
Speaker 1: And that is one thing. So maybe that's what's happening now,
Speaker 1: all the way more crazy people than you ever thought existed.
Speaker 1: They're latching onto these stories.
Speaker 3: My new slogan, and it's not an encouraging one, is
Speaker 3: everyone's a grifter and everything's clickbait. Speaking of grifters, your
Speaker 3: personal information is valuable, and it's being bought and sold
Speaker 3: online and it's far more accessible than a lot of
Speaker 3: folks realize. Every time you do anything online, your dad
Speaker 3: is collected packaged and sold to data brokers.
Speaker 1: And that's why we both use in cogny. Hey, cogny
Speaker 1: can take care of the problem that is, your name
Speaker 1: is out there, your address is out there, your salary's
Speaker 1: probably out there, your phone number the way you went
Speaker 1: to scoed like you name, a piece of information about you,
Speaker 1: it is out there floating around and in Cognity can
Speaker 1: get it off of those sites and protect you from
Speaker 1: happening anymore. And that's why, by the way, you get
Speaker 1: so many scam emails, phone calls, and texts, and they
Speaker 1: don't just do it once.
Speaker 3: They keep sending follow up requests or your data stays removed,
Speaker 3: protecting you from spam, scams and real digital threats. Remember,
Speaker 3: they can't scam you if they can't find you take
Speaker 3: your personal data back. Within Cogni, it's like Incognito, but
Speaker 3: minus the T I n cog n i's.
Speaker 1: How it's spelled.
Speaker 3: Gets sixty percent off the regular price when you use
Speaker 3: the code armstrong and Incogniti dot com slash armstrong. Sixty
Speaker 3: percent off when you use the code armstrong and Incogniti
Speaker 3: dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1: I hope this doesn't happen, but I fear that it
Speaker 1: will something really bad is gonna happen to Erica. Kirk
Speaker 1: heard her killed, and then I hope we can have
Speaker 1: some sort of conversation about how nuts things have gotten.
Speaker 1: Probably we won't do any good. Won't do any good?
Speaker 1: How is she fearing for her life as a young
Speaker 1: mom widow.
Speaker 3: I'm not the most religious person in the world by far,
Speaker 3: but this is the manifestation of evil that the Bible
Speaker 3: talks about. And you don't have to be religious to
Speaker 3: believe in the concept of evil or twisted minds. But yeah,
Speaker 3: this is as I said, this is pure distilled evil.
Speaker 3: It is greed, it is cruelty, It's endangering an innocent
Speaker 3: person's life.
Speaker 1: Is horrible. It's horrible. It's really second to me. Anybody
Speaker 1: have any thoughts on this or your opinion on this topic.
Speaker 1: Text line four one nine KFTC.
Speaker 2: Beef is getting harder for Americans to afford, which explains
Speaker 2: Pizza Hut's new left over Easter Candy Lover's Pizza No
Speaker 2: One out keeps is the Hut.
Speaker 1: Pizza Hut originated in Kansas, so I'm very familiar with Pizzahuts.
Speaker 1: I'm in a conversation with my brothers over the weekend
Speaker 1: about how crappy pizza Hut is compared to when we
Speaker 1: were young, when it was delicious. I don't know that
Speaker 1: they started using cheaper ingredients, but they had to have. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Some pizza joints compete on price, some on quality. Yeah
Speaker 1: it is right, Katy, disagree with your slamming of the
Speaker 1: pizza Hut. I have had it a couple of times
Speaker 1: in the last couple of months and it has been
Speaker 1: a winner. Advantage of being a pregnant woman. Wow, my
Speaker 1: husband's not a pregnant woman and he likes it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still eat it. I have eaten it not that
Speaker 1: long ago, but it ain't what he used me.
Speaker 3: So getting back to I promised I would sprinkle in
Speaker 3: some more examples of how Washington State is indeed America's
Speaker 3: looniest state, and this terrific writer is describing several examples
Speaker 3: of Seattle's new forty three year old mayor. Katie Wilson
Speaker 3: spent the last several years as General Secretary, a title
Speaker 3: she made up and gave herself of the Transit Riders Union,
Speaker 3: a group she created in twenty eleven. A self proclaimed socialist,
Speaker 3: she's relied heavily on subsidies from her parents, from paying
Speaker 3: her college tuition to paying ten thousand dollars for her
Speaker 3: childcare during her campaign. There's something too on the nose
Speaker 3: about a socialist mayor being reliant on funding from her
Speaker 3: parents into her forties.
Speaker 1: She's now the mayor of Seattle. And then that's classic though,
Speaker 1: that's Karl Marx himself. That's oh yeah, mom, Donnie, that's
Speaker 1: this person. It's just it happens. It's che Guevera and
Speaker 1: Fidel Castro as I've been going through a book on
Speaker 1: their revolution and rise. They were that kind of people. Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: and gosh.
Speaker 3: He goes into the fact that it's forty years of
Speaker 3: one party rule in the governor's mansion makes California look
Speaker 3: like a purple state, and he addresses how could this
Speaker 3: be with all those innovative minds in Washington state more
Speaker 3: college degrees than any city in the nation. That's a minus,
Speaker 3: not a plus, really, But he says part of the
Speaker 3: answer is the wealth generated by the high tech sector
Speaker 3: insulates voters from the consequences of their actions. If public
Speaker 3: policy won't materially change your situation, why not vote for
Speaker 3: candidates you believe reflect your own righteousness, even if they
Speaker 3: are incompetent or dishonest.
Speaker 1: But then he gets to and this is the part
Speaker 1: I really wanted to get to.
Speaker 3: There was a State task Force on Artificial Intelligence, and
Speaker 3: at the first meeting of the task forces subcommittee on
Speaker 3: Climate and Sustainability, a social worker who was a member
Speaker 3: of the panel for some reason, explained at length her
Speaker 3: understanding of AI. And this is the short version, and
Speaker 3: I quote, I wish I had AUDIOI don't. So you
Speaker 3: can have a TV that doesn't need a plug. It
Speaker 3: either takes the energy out of the environment, like whatever
Speaker 3: the AI does. Right, we're talking nanotechnology, We're talking all
Speaker 3: kinds of stuff, all kinds of stuff already out there.
Speaker 3: So there is already a process out there where you
Speaker 3: can self power a TV. I don't know if there's
Speaker 3: any actual those type of TVs on the market. Is
Speaker 3: that something that I believe is out there. I've never
Speaker 3: seen it with my my own eyes. Absolutely, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm a person, I live in this world, and they're
Speaker 3: smart people out there.
Speaker 1: What And it went on in that vein for some time.
Speaker 3: Apparently the Attorney General's Office canceled that subcommittee as subcommittee
Speaker 3: meeting after I'm sorry, subcommittee, after just one meeting.
Speaker 1: What's this person's name. It's just a social worker. As
Speaker 1: a member of the AI panel, I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to follow them somehow. Oh I know, and that
Speaker 1: is stunning. He mentions.
Speaker 3: At that time, Seattle may Or Jenny Durkins comment that
Speaker 3: the violent takeover of the several city blocks by protesters
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty was actually a summer of love. And
Speaker 3: they're billion dollars in fraudulent unemployment claims during COVID medal
Speaker 3: overseas scammers Chop or Jazz or what it was jazz
Speaker 3: at first, then they renamed it Chop. But a few
Speaker 3: other states can combine Washington's share in competence with the
Speaker 3: arrogance of believing that we are policy leaders and looking
Speaker 3: down on the rest of the country even as we
Speaker 3: commit blunder after blunder. We are the New York Jets,
Speaker 3: but we think we're the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: We You don't need a plug for some TVs because
Speaker 1: they get their energy through the air, like AI does.
Speaker 1: What are you die? We're talking nanotechnology.
Speaker 3: We're talking all kinds of stuff, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 3: already out there.
Speaker 1: I've never seen it myself, but I'm sure it exists.
Speaker 1: These TVs there is power themselves by the electricity in
Speaker 1: the air, So there's already a process out there where
Speaker 1: you can self power a TV. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm a person. I live in this world and there's
Speaker 3: smart people out there. How'd you get to be at
Speaker 3: a level of any influence whatsoever? They live in a
Speaker 3: dream world supported by the wealth of the tech companies,
Speaker 3: just like California. If California didn't have Silicon Valley, oh
Speaker 3: my god, it would be a venezuela.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really economically, fiscally speaking, probably be better for us,
Speaker 1: actually force us into reality. We do a lot of segments,
Speaker 1: a lot of hours. If you miss anything, get the
Speaker 1: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. You can find it.
Speaker 1: We got some good stuff for our four appreciate you
