Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jackie and hear.
Speaker 1: The Frum Studio.
Speaker 2: C say, signor a dimly lit room deeper than the
Speaker 2: bowels of the Armstrong in getting Communications Counpound on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: we're under the tutage of our general manager.
Speaker 1: The man. The man is now.
Speaker 2: In charge in La answered to the man, Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 2: scumbags anarchists. Well, if you get enough people there, I
Speaker 2: guess enough top some various kinds, National Guard up police
Speaker 2: from all over California, then I guess you can get
Speaker 2: things under control. Because there wasn't a lot last night.
Speaker 2: I mean, I set a couple of cop cars on
Speaker 2: fire on the way to work. But you know this
Speaker 2: is the routine, right right, Yeah, all of that show
Speaker 2: of force over the objections of the far left lunatic
Speaker 2: governor of California, who's looking worse as the days go by.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, are we down to the political grand
Speaker 2: standing wrangling at this point over that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: I'm in charge, No, I'm in charge, and who benefits
Speaker 2: from it? And Newsom and Trump maybe their whole forty
Speaker 2: minute phone call Saturday night was I'll bet we could
Speaker 2: both benefit greatly from this if we played right. Maybe
Speaker 2: that's what they said. Wow, I doubt wow. You know
Speaker 2: that's not crazy. Donald J wins this one though. If
Speaker 2: gif Gavy thing this is an acceptable look to the
Speaker 2: rest of America, he is insane.
Speaker 1: Well, we got a couple of clips we're gonna play later.
Speaker 2: I mean, I was watching Mark Alprin's news show last night,
Speaker 2: and he has Sean Spicer, he was Trump's press secretary
Speaker 2: on representing Republicans, and he has this other guy, Dan
Speaker 2: something or other who represents Democrats.
Speaker 1: He's a strategist, dude, and.
Speaker 2: The Democratic strategist dude was like, I don't know what
Speaker 2: we're doing. The optics of this are horrible. We've got
Speaker 2: to get out of this. I mean, we are on
Speaker 2: the wrong side of this one hundred percent. He was
Speaker 2: just beside himself with how bad it was for his party,
Speaker 2: the Democrat. You know what's interesting is when similar stuff
Speaker 2: happened during the Bided administration. I could run through the
Speaker 2: list if you like. You start with the George Floyd thing.
Speaker 2: The strategy was, well, we'll just let everybody rye. The
Speaker 2: local cops will get beat up and the media will
Speaker 2: spin it for us, and so it won't have this
Speaker 2: bad this bad look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you bring that up.
Speaker 2: I heard some punditry about that this morning that I
Speaker 2: thought was really smarting with George Floyd. Was most of
Speaker 2: America saw the video a George Floyd on the ground
Speaker 2: with the knee on his neck and thought that's horrific
Speaker 2: and kind of understood why people were on the streets.
Speaker 2: Even if you don't, you know, the smashing up windows
Speaker 2: and all that sort's not acceptable, but you understood why
Speaker 2: people were angry on this one. People are looking at
Speaker 2: the big picture and saying, why are you protesting against
Speaker 2: the kicking out illegals? I want so it's this The
Speaker 2: public opinion is not on the side of the protesters.
Speaker 2: I would agree, Yeah, absolutely, I think. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to religate the whole George Floyd thing.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It could have been a much more nuanced view if
Speaker 2: the media or doing their jobs, but that's in the past.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's absolutely true. There's no bedrock
Speaker 2: of sympathy. I mean, you might sympathize over some law
Speaker 2: abiding guy who's been here for fifteen years and gets
Speaker 2: caught up in a.
Speaker 1: Raid or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's fine, let's talk about that, let's pass laws about that.
Speaker 2: But let's not burn la about that, says America. So
Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting late in the day yesterday,
Speaker 2: if you saw this or not. So the there was
Speaker 2: one main guy who was cement chunk guy who had
Speaker 2: big chunks of cement was breaking him into small enough
Speaker 2: chunks he could lift him over his head, trying to
Speaker 2: kill I don't know how you describe it anyway other
Speaker 2: than trying to kill cops. If you try throw a
Speaker 2: giant chunk of cement at somebody, you're.
Speaker 1: Trying to kill him. Right from an overpass.
Speaker 2: Anyway, They figured out who the guy was, even though
Speaker 2: he was masked. His mask slipped down at one point,
Speaker 2: did some facial recognition, which is a little frightening, and
Speaker 2: figured out who the guy is right away, and they
Speaker 2: got a name, and they worn out for his arrest,
Speaker 2: and Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, announced that yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2: So they're going to find this guy. They know where
Speaker 2: he is, they're gonna find him. He is one of
Speaker 2: your outside agitators and I think it'll be interesting to
Speaker 2: see who he's associated with attached to his what is
Speaker 2: you know what? Is he one of these professionals that's
Speaker 2: been ever at every giant Riot we've watched over the
Speaker 2: last twenty years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you read my mind.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, let's talk about his organization,
Speaker 2: his associations, which are loose intentionally. It's a classic insurgents
Speaker 2: sell distribution of power. So nobody knows anybody else, so
Speaker 2: you can't inform on people anyway. But to whatever extent
Speaker 2: they can connect this guy to whomever else, it's a
Speaker 2: clear place to apply the Rico statutes. This guy is
Speaker 2: part of a criminal organization that commits mayhem. Wow, that
Speaker 2: would be interesting inter state mayhem. You're right, but probably
Speaker 2: violates the commerce clause. I'm guessing this isn't a plucky
Speaker 2: Hispanic dad. I was just reading more about the Maryland dad. Right,
Speaker 2: old Kilmar. What's his face? He's a freaking human trafficking
Speaker 2: gang banger.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: I suspect very strongly that this isn't an offended American
Speaker 2: citizen of Hispanic descent in a long time Angelino. No,
Speaker 2: he's he's a Antifa scumbag.
Speaker 1: So there's more.
Speaker 2: National guardsmen being deployed to LA and Marines. I don't
Speaker 2: know what they're gonna do when they get there. I
Speaker 2: don't think there's gonna be anything to do, but you know,
Speaker 2: I mean guard federal facilities until the dust settles, right,
Speaker 2: the dust may maybe see the Walk of Fame.
Speaker 1: I don't know, there are many things to see him.
Speaker 2: Trump was asked about it last night. Maybe we'll play
Speaker 2: this later. Trump's asked about it last night, and he
Speaker 2: had like two words about it. Then he started it
Speaker 2: on how dumb the bullet train is. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: he got off very grave. He's right, Yeah, maybe deploy
Speaker 2: National Guard troops to surround the bullet train track there
Speaker 2: in Palmdale and say stop building this.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. A point of order, mister chairman. There's no track.
Speaker 2: There's just like a flat area where a track could
Speaker 2: conceivably go in the year twenty one eighty, not a
Speaker 2: minor point. Some protest protesting using my finger quotes, I
Speaker 2: like the way protests is a catch all word from
Speaker 2: everything from we got a permit and eight of us
Speaker 2: with signs are going to stand on the corner here
Speaker 2: and try to get minimum wage raised, and they also
Speaker 2: call protest. The thousands of people looting stores and setting
Speaker 2: things on fire. They're all protests, all come under the
Speaker 2: same word. Oh, that's what was going on. It's funny
Speaker 2: that reporters who's very occupation involves choosing words to accurately
Speaker 2: describe things would.
Speaker 1: Lack the vocabulary to make clear what's going on. That's
Speaker 1: really odd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what went on in La mostly last night.
Speaker 1: Looting.
Speaker 2: I'm loading in for illegals, looting for illegals. I need
Speaker 2: a new TV for illegals, much protesting the need to
Speaker 2: exchange currency for these goods by taking them. Yeah, lots
Speaker 2: of looting. And then the police said, well, this is
Speaker 2: what happens when we've got all the cops having to
Speaker 2: deal with one situation.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I guess that's anger at the Trump administration for attempting
Speaker 2: to boot out illegal but yeah, lots of looting. So
Speaker 2: I guess that's what the National Guard, troops and marines
Speaker 2: could be doing, is stopping the Maybe they take control downtown,
Speaker 2: then the cops can go back to stopping looting, which
Speaker 2: happens immediately you pull cops out of an area, immediately
Speaker 2: things get looted at least in la Yeah. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: just human nature. Unfortunately, it seems Yeah, I was just reading.
Speaker 2: Didn't get a chance to bring it up on the show.
Speaker 2: The trend in faith and belief? What was the term
Speaker 2: support for the police in the Minneapolis area speaking of
Speaker 2: old George Floyd that among black and inner city residents,
Speaker 2: they support the police strongly because they know what the
Speaker 2: absence of the police means. It means mayhem and pain
Speaker 2: and death. I heard a good rant about this yesterday.
Speaker 2: I will summarize it after we start the show.
Speaker 1: Officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this It is Tuesday, June the
Speaker 2: tenth year, twenty twenty five. We are Armstrong in Getty
Speaker 2: and we approve of this program.
Speaker 1: Let's begin the show officially.
Speaker 2: Then, according to f CEC rules of regulations, we wouldn't
Speaker 2: want the National Guard coming in here.
Speaker 1: Let's get started at Mark.
Speaker 3: We are behind the LAPD skirmish line right now. They
Speaker 3: gave a dispersal order. The crowd did not disperse. There
Speaker 3: are hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of these protesters in
Speaker 3: front of these officers, pushing these officers towards us. They
Speaker 3: go back, probably two blocks behind a whole lot of
Speaker 3: foreign flags being waved. From my perspective, I don't see
Speaker 3: a single American one right now. I see multiple from
Speaker 3: Mexico and from El Salvador.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what that Democratic strategist was talking about the
Speaker 2: optics of this, just all those foreign flags and people
Speaker 2: here illegally and just the vast majority of Americas.
Speaker 1: No, no to that. Wow.
Speaker 2: So I was listening to this podcast yesterday and the
Speaker 2: punditry around what were you just talking about now, flit
Speaker 2: it out of my mind.
Speaker 1: Most of the police, inter cities, minorities.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how rioting is such a you know, it's
Speaker 2: a regressive tax. It hurts working class people way more
Speaker 2: than it hurts you know, upper middle class or rich
Speaker 2: people a highway being closed off for a while or
Speaker 2: you can't get where you want to go or whatever.
Speaker 2: It hurts the average Joe or below that way more
Speaker 2: then it hurts people who can afford to miss a
Speaker 2: day or work from home or whatever. That's such a
Speaker 2: great point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: And the damage is almost exclusively done in the neighborhoods
Speaker 2: where people like that live, where they would like to
Speaker 2: be able to go to the store, but the store
Speaker 2: is closed because somebody torched it and looted it, probably
Speaker 2: in reverse order. Yeah, it absolutely impacts the poor much
Speaker 2: more strongly.
Speaker 1: It's terrible.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the working class. I just saw breaking news.
Speaker 2: Josh Holly, US Senator from Missoo just proposed a fifteen
Speaker 2: dollars an hour national minimum wage.
Speaker 1: Man, he has gone full played to the working class,
Speaker 1: hasn't he. Yeah? Why the horseshoe principle at work here?
Speaker 2: Dangerous right winger Josh Holly is now singing you from
Speaker 2: the same hymnal as Bernie Sanders on a regular basis.
Speaker 2: Or the Republican Party is becoming the Democratic Party, and
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party is becoming the Socialist Party. I don't
Speaker 2: know where the Conservatives are going to land at some point. Anyway,
Speaker 2: different story for a different time. Oh, we got Katie's
Speaker 2: headlines on the way. We've got lots of stuff to
Speaker 2: talk about today that I'm looking forward to. Wow, did
Speaker 2: I come across something interesting yesterday about people who are
Speaker 2: trying to get into AI relationships or these companies out
Speaker 2: there that are now like setting it up for you
Speaker 2: if you're you know, you're lonely widow or whatever you are.
Speaker 2: You're an inceel somewhere. They're they're now like like an
Speaker 2: only fan site, except it's an AI site and it's
Speaker 2: emotion that stuff. It's not sex stuff, it's emotional stuff.
Speaker 2: So they'll set you up with a computer, pay a
Speaker 2: subscription to have a you know. Okay, yeah, interesting what
Speaker 2: you just said about the Republican Party becoming the Democrats
Speaker 2: and the Democrats becoming the socialists. It's one of the
Speaker 2: more disturbing things I've heard in the last five years.
Speaker 2: I think You're absolutely right. I think we are becoming
Speaker 2: great Britain.
Speaker 1: I'm here to disturb or Canada becoming Canada and great Britain.
Speaker 1: Good lord, good Lord. So anyway, we got all that
Speaker 1: on the way.
Speaker 2: Our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 2: You only hear my favorite dumb headline, Katie before we
Speaker 2: get your real headlines. Rick Astley video for Never Gonna
Speaker 2: Give You Up hits one billion views yesterday. Wow, the
Speaker 2: rickroll one billion views on that. That is a troubling
Speaker 2: commentary on the modern world. It's very funny or something.
Speaker 2: I wonder who made the money on that? Does he
Speaker 2: make the money on that? I don't know who it
Speaker 2: writes to the video. I don't know how much. I
Speaker 2: have no idea how that whole thing works. But somebody
Speaker 2: made money. A billion views is a lot. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 2: he might be you know, Richard and an Oil She
Speaker 2: because Rick Colling became a thing. I mean it was
Speaker 2: a hit. I was a DJ at the time in
Speaker 2: top forty music. But it wasn't like extraordinarily popular, nor was.
Speaker 1: It particularly mocked. No, no, it was just so just
Speaker 1: a pop song. It was just another song of it.
Speaker 1: Rick Rolling still happens now regularly.
Speaker 2: And then of course, uh, Brian in the tradition is
Speaker 2: enduring his Christmas and Brian the dog from Family Guy
Speaker 2: would always sing it whenever he got drunk at karaoke. Yes, fantastic. Well,
Speaker 2: a lot happening in the world. By golly, let's figure
Speaker 2: out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 1: Katie helped us out all right.
Speaker 4: Starting off with Reuters, Trump administration deploys marines to La
Speaker 4: as anti ice protests spread to Texas and San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Man marines even even law and Order me if you
Speaker 2: heard the long screet about starting to hit people in
Speaker 2: the head with sticks yesterday. Even Law and Order me
Speaker 2: thinks the Marines. Man, that seems like things got to
Speaker 2: be really off the rails before he starts sending the
Speaker 2: Marines in the US streets.
Speaker 1: I certainly hope they're the backups to the backups.
Speaker 4: Right From ABC, Zlenski demands action from America after latest
Speaker 4: Russian drone missile attack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to back up just a second to the whole marines.
Speaker 2: Part of it is, as a guy who loves the military,
Speaker 2: putting those Marines in a terrible situation right, and honestly,
Speaker 2: it could do long term damage to the standing in
Speaker 2: the military in this country if they were used against
Speaker 2: I was about to say their own countrymen. A lot
Speaker 2: of the people in LA are their own countrymen.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's fraught. As they say, it's it's
Speaker 1: not great.
Speaker 4: From Breitbart Israel screens October seventh massacre.
Speaker 1: Footage for Grudit, Greta.
Speaker 4: Tuneberg and selfie yacht activists.
Speaker 2: I like, guess I love it, Yeah exactly, idf calling
Speaker 2: it the selfie yacht. Yeah, we're delivering, you know, like
Speaker 2: lunch for eight their big mission. Well, and the fact
Speaker 2: that they passed that boat from whatever country that was
Speaker 2: from that had real refugees from a real genocide going on.
Speaker 2: They just went by that in their yacht. Sorry, we
Speaker 2: don't have any food or water for you. We got
Speaker 2: other things to do and I love. As part of
Speaker 2: the condition of their release, they have to watch the
Speaker 2: October seventh video. I'll bet it's tough to take. Of course,
Speaker 2: they're so delusional, like I'm having an effect.
Speaker 4: From Daily Mail. Third, Chinese scientists charged with.
Speaker 1: Smuggling illegal biological.
Speaker 4: Pathogen into United States from Wuhan.
Speaker 2: Wow, Holy cow, we have a pattern, folks. I am
Speaker 2: not the least bit shocked if somebody has the ai
Speaker 2: ability to go through every statement I've made through the
Speaker 2: years about how China is infiltrating this country with both
Speaker 2: you know, established agents and the regular citizens are being
Speaker 2: used as agents, and can catch me in one one
Speaker 2: percent of an exaggeration. At this point, I will, I
Speaker 2: don't know, donate a thousand dollars to your favorite charity.
Speaker 2: It is so clear what's going on now, and we've
Speaker 2: been asleep for so long.
Speaker 4: From the New York Post, furious passenger calls in bomb
Speaker 4: threat to Spirit Airlines after showing up late and getting
Speaker 4: barred from flight.
Speaker 2: Good move, idiot, that's amazing how often that has happened
Speaker 2: in my radio career. People are running late for a
Speaker 2: flight and they call in a bomb threat to fix
Speaker 2: that problem?
Speaker 1: Right, that is amazing.
Speaker 5: Next logical move, Yeah, exactly what else are you gonna do?
Speaker 5: And finally from the Babalon b support.
Speaker 4: For police skyrockets after they start shooting journalists.
Speaker 2: No, no, what is this the third world that's responsible?
Speaker 1: We read that two.
Speaker 2: I have a meeting'll be we need to have a meeting.
Speaker 2: That's what would fix it. We have more news of
Speaker 2: the day, Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: The age issue is becoming a growing concern, especially for
Speaker 6: Democrats in Congress. Six House Democrats have died in office
Speaker 6: just since last April twenty twenty four. Five of the
Speaker 6: six who died and maybe they rest in peace, but
Speaker 6: five of the six were in their seventies and eighties.
Speaker 6: The aging Congress, what many refer to as a gerontocracy,
Speaker 6: is our new normal right now in Congress, one hundred
Speaker 6: and twenty members of Congress are seventy years old or older.
Speaker 6: That's more than twenty percent more than any other previous Congress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we live longer. I mean there's that, sure,
Speaker 2: but half a dozen have croaked in office in the
Speaker 2: last year, he said, boy, fifth or over seventy. How
Speaker 2: old do you have to be a congressperson.
Speaker 1: An adult? Oh no, e liket a twelve year old?
Speaker 2: I think again, so anybody, And and not that I
Speaker 2: don't think that has anything to do with it.
Speaker 1: Is it the whole.
Speaker 2: Uh get you get the office and you just hang
Speaker 2: on to the office and you're voting for their whole
Speaker 2: staff who just keeps thing running mostly and uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they go to hund raisers. Is that what it's
Speaker 1: all about? Yeah? I think being a congress person to
Speaker 1: be a pain in the high I would know. I'd
Speaker 1: love to be a US Senator. I would. I don't
Speaker 1: think i'd take the job a US congressman if it
Speaker 1: was given to me. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean you've you've got to raise money all the time,
Speaker 2: and you've made plenty of money on your insider trading.
Speaker 1: Yeah through the years. H Yeah.
Speaker 2: I guess that the party just convinced you to hang
Speaker 2: onto the seat because it's it's impossible to boot an
Speaker 2: incumbent out and you like the perks. Happy Birthday to
Speaker 2: the Army two hundred and fifty years old this week,
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump's at Fort Bragg given a big speech
Speaker 2: today about that.
Speaker 1: The US Army is two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2: Excellent, Happy birthday all soldiers and Army fans. So a
Speaker 2: couple of stories from across the fruit plane that are
Speaker 2: not about violence in Los Angeles, which we'll get back to,
Speaker 2: but are absolutely worth updating you on. I won't go
Speaker 2: off on a screen, but it's disturbing the extent to
Speaker 2: which America's law schools have swung left, I mean way left,
Speaker 2: a lot of them, and you see the fruit of
Speaker 2: that in things like this the f Do you remember
Speaker 2: the big judge election in Wisconsin that Elon Musk weighed
Speaker 2: in on and raised a bunch of money for the
Speaker 2: conservative and he got shellacked. And so because they have
Speaker 2: Supreme Court elections in Wisconsin and now they have a
Speaker 2: four to three liberal majority there, well, they ruled against
Speaker 2: a Catholic charity's nonprofit. It had to do with tax
Speaker 2: exemption and who gets it. Okay, I won't get into
Speaker 2: the facts of the case, doesn't really matter, but the
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Supreme Court said no, you don't get your tax exemption.
Speaker 2: Sonia sort of Mayor wrote the nine to decision for
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court overturning the Wisconsin Supreme Court and administered
Speaker 2: a firm handed Scotus spanking to.
Speaker 1: Their utterly ridiculous, ridiculous ruling.
Speaker 2: There needs to be some sort of law that if
Speaker 2: you get overturned nine nothing by the u Supreme Court,
Speaker 2: you have to disband that lower court and start over.
Speaker 1: Or you're on double secret probation.
Speaker 2: And if it happens a second time, yeah, you gonna
Speaker 2: mind your p's and q's. The state court, well, I
Speaker 2: won't read you what the state court held. But just
Speaker 2: as Soto Mayor writes in her opinion for the Unanimous
Speaker 2: Revere Soul that if a state law treats two religious
Speaker 2: soup kitchens differently depending on the amount of prayer and
Speaker 2: proselytizing before lunch, that's a violation of the First Amendment,
Speaker 2: because they essentially said, yeah, this Catholic charity isn't doing
Speaker 2: enough Catholic stuff to earn their tax exemption. They're just
Speaker 2: doing kind of general charitable work. But she says, this
Speaker 2: is soda. Mayor, it is fundamental to our constitutional order
Speaker 2: that the government maintained neutrality between religion and religion. There
Speaker 2: may be hard calls to make in policing that rule,
Speaker 2: but this is not one wow yeah again nine nothing decisions.
Speaker 2: You have to disband the lower court. That's a new
Speaker 2: I want that in the constitution. Yeah, no, kidding. The
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal editorial board summarizes with don't expect this
Speaker 2: nine oh SmackDown to temper the unrestrained ambitions of Wisconsin's
Speaker 2: four left wing justices. But in the debate to come,
Speaker 2: keep in mind how they're mangling of religious liberty, lost
Speaker 2: even justice Soda Mayor. By the way, we'll get back
Speaker 2: to the biggest story in America over the last four days.
Speaker 2: Coming up kickoff hour two, We're going to talk to
Speaker 2: a California congress and Republican who's a hardcore against the
Speaker 2: lack of order in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Fabulous Kevin Kylie. So we'll get back into that. But
Speaker 1: I was just reading this.
Speaker 2: Tim Sanderfer retweeted, if you think it's a good idea
Speaker 2: to protest deportation by waving the flag of the country
Speaker 2: you don't want to live in or be deported to,
Speaker 2: you're a political idiot. Yes, I would agree, you left
Speaker 2: that country in some cases you really really don't want
Speaker 2: to go back, then, don't.
Speaker 1: Wave that flag. That'd be my suggestion. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So getting back kind of sort of to the
Speaker 2: law school theme, but just kind of sort of during
Speaker 2: the whole woke apocalypse, we ought to have a term
Speaker 2: for the post George Floyd period of time where everything
Speaker 2: that was left the extremist, A lot of people were
Speaker 2: afraid to even argue against you sat there and took
Speaker 2: your you're a racist training at work. You said, yes,
Speaker 2: that obvious man is a woman and should be in
Speaker 2: women's sports if he is a woman, for fear of
Speaker 2: backlash because the left was on the front foot and
Speaker 2: just whoop an ass wow. Rough that period roughly twenty
Speaker 2: nineteen to Trump's election will be a period that historians
Speaker 2: do need to put a name on it. I mean,
Speaker 2: that was all woke, George Floyd, COVID Trump, January sixth insurrection,
Speaker 2: all the craziness of the twenty four election all.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all got to fit.
Speaker 2: Into a period because the whole thing inflation that I
Speaker 2: don't know what they're gonna call it, but it's it's
Speaker 2: a period of time to.
Speaker 1: Have lived through, no doubt, as we all know, that's funny.
Speaker 1: It just clicked into my head.
Speaker 2: I refer to it over and over again in kind
Speaker 2: of cumbersome ways, and I need a quick summarration summation.
Speaker 2: Does anybody have a suggestion. You can email us bag
Speaker 2: at Armstrong and geddy dot com. Maybe we'll squeeze it
Speaker 2: into a mailbag coming up of the he deserves a
Speaker 2: name that period nineteen through twenty four, like the Great Depression,
Speaker 2: It deserves a name, the wocopolyps. That's kind of cumbersome anyway.
Speaker 2: So all of this was along a side or along
Speaker 2: setup to the fact that some absolutely fundamental principles that
Speaker 2: nobody has ever argued with suddenly became taboo to say,
Speaker 2: like working hard is white supremacy, and showing up on
Speaker 2: time and blah blah blah, and the idea of the
Speaker 2: best person gets the job is evil and that obvious
Speaker 2: man is a woman. I mean, just just the most
Speaker 2: fundamental truths of humankind were suddenly you weren't supposed to
Speaker 2: say them. We continued to Perhaps you remember that anyway,
Speaker 2: one of those true true truisms is that meritocracy is
Speaker 2: what should run virtually everything.
Speaker 1: I'm huge on that. I've been saying that forever.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I love what Jordan Peterson said once.
Speaker 2: He said, Look, the job of the left, or the
Speaker 2: job of the right, is to make sure meritocracy endoors,
Speaker 2: because we need that in every.
Speaker 1: Profession, every walk of life.
Speaker 2: The job of the left is to make sure at
Speaker 2: the bottom of that ladder there is fairness. People are
Speaker 2: not stopped impeded from getting on that ladder. And I
Speaker 2: think that's absolutely true. Having said that, where you have
Speaker 2: a story about like great Britain class system, where families
Speaker 2: stay in that upper tier forever and it's very hard
Speaker 2: to move tears.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just had a conversation about that last night, the
Speaker 2: British legal system specifically.
Speaker 1: But anyway, So here is this guy.
Speaker 2: He began his first final examine law school and the
Speaker 2: classroom was half empty. There are maybe sixty seventy people
Speaker 2: in our big group. At least thirty of them were missing.
Speaker 2: He was at Pepperdine Caruso School Law in Malibu, California's
Speaker 2: summer twenty three. It was what we call a racehorse exam.
Speaker 2: He said, of the final it's pretty guarantee that you're
Speaker 2: not going to finish, but you have to move as
Speaker 2: fast as possible and rack up as many points as
Speaker 2: you can. My daughter just went through this five weeks ago.
Speaker 2: He later learned that the absent students weren't running late.
Speaker 2: They would be completing the exam separately using extended time,
Speaker 2: a testing accommodation that the Americans with Disabilities Act require
Speaker 2: schools to make available for students with conditions that impair
Speaker 2: major life activities like learning, reading, and concentrating. So those
Speaker 2: students usually receive one and a half or twice the
Speaker 2: standard testing time, which in law school can mean up
Speaker 2: to four extra hours, and according to multiple Pepperdine students,
Speaker 2: more than a third of the school's law students now
Speaker 2: received testing accommodations, the most common of which is extended time.
Speaker 2: Everybody has a note signed by somebody that says, yeah,
Speaker 2: Jimmy has trouble concentrated when I don't know the lights
Speaker 2: are on and so and so everybody gets extended time.
Speaker 2: I know I'm in this world enough to know you'd
Speaker 2: never get turned down for some sort of ADHD or
Speaker 2: add or anxiety or anything that something. So law schools
Speaker 2: don't disclose their rates of accommodations, but a twenty three
Speaker 2: organ Law Review paper reports data on public law schools
Speaker 2: obtained through state public record laws. And this is in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, before the post COVID rise in disability accommodations.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is the lower rate.
Speaker 2: It was like twenty two percent at the University of
Speaker 2: California in San Francisco, twenty six percent, you see, Irvine,
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Here's my deal.
Speaker 2: And as the father of an autistic daughter, for instance,
Speaker 2: I am one hundred percent in favor of us as
Speaker 2: a society finding ways to make sure people who have
Speaker 2: struggles and special needs get an education. I am crazy,
Speaker 2: staunchly enthusiastic in favor of that. But I don't think
Speaker 2: my beloved daughter, Kate, who I think about every hour
Speaker 2: of every day of my life, I don't think she
Speaker 2: should be shoehorned into say, you know, Pepperdine law. Well,
Speaker 2: I can look at it this way, because I got
Speaker 2: a kid that's on all kinds of medications.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever gonna get through school.
Speaker 2: But you can't change the law school so that he
Speaker 2: can become a lawyer, right, or you've fundamentally.
Speaker 1: Changed what a degree from that law school.
Speaker 2: Means yeah, because if you get out in the world
Speaker 2: and you're practicing law, Like if I need a lawyer
Speaker 2: for whatever I'm doing, I can't say now this lawyer,
Speaker 2: this lawyer, it'll take you three days to get your
Speaker 2: paperwork done. Now this lawyer, because they have ADHD in anxiety,
Speaker 2: it's going to be a month.
Speaker 1: I mean, what right? What? That doesn't make any sense? Well,
Speaker 1: and you put it beautifully.
Speaker 2: I mean that illustrates the fundaments until departure from what
Speaker 2: is obviously true. One of those COVID, Floyd woll apocalypse,
Speaker 2: you know, things that happened. And again, I want programs.
Speaker 2: I want people who need extra time to be able
Speaker 2: to get a law degree. But we've got to have excellence,
Speaker 2: and we've got to have places where excellence is the
Speaker 2: only standard.
Speaker 1: And then when that standards met, we know there was.
Speaker 2: Excellence there, not excellence plus double time. Because the family
Speaker 2: doctor who's an old family friend went ahead wrote a
Speaker 2: note for a little Johnny so you could have a
Speaker 2: leg up. I mean, come on, you got a third
Speaker 2: of the freaking students. Wow, elite law schools, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Get back to meritocracy. Man, At what point are you
Speaker 2: not a good parent because you didn't get your kid
Speaker 2: one of these notes that helps him gets through everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, at some point across the line, we got
Speaker 2: Joe's mailbag on the waist. Here come up a lot
Speaker 2: in social media and podcasts. I listened to the whole
Speaker 2: January sixth insurrection versus the Trump's been calling it an
Speaker 2: insurrection in Los Angeles. So maybe we'll get into that
Speaker 2: a little bit later. That's exciting, thorny stuff. Oh and
Speaker 2: could anger everyone. You walk away from it with not
Speaker 2: a friend.
Speaker 1: Super great.
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day from Lewis brandeis,
Speaker 2: Supreme Court justice with whom I had many disagreements, as
Speaker 2: I recall studying his term.
Speaker 1: But he said this, and I think it's good. It's great.
Speaker 2: Those who won our independence valued liberty as an end end,
Speaker 2: as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret
Speaker 2: of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Liberty is the secret of happiness, and courage is the
Speaker 2: secret of liberty.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the.
Speaker 2: Words when liberty comes up in your average school career
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 1: In a public school at this point.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I would guess it does not to praise
Speaker 2: for the Founding fathers, the principles of the founding How
Speaker 2: did we get our culture, our government?
Speaker 1: I'll bet I'll bet they don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, soil by a brave queer people of color
Speaker 2: overcoming white supremacy or something.
Speaker 1: White right old men for sayings and they're evils.
Speaker 2: Drop us a note, mail bag at Armstrong and geddy
Speaker 2: dot com if you'd like, Can I keep it briefish?
Speaker 2: If you can, mail bag at Armstrong a geddy dot com.
Speaker 2: What do you call the madness from twenty nineteen to
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four ideas pouring in? Craig says, call it
Speaker 2: the great Deception? Let's see Jimmy Sokel, Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 2: How about the label Wokemageddon?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is that. I mean that was a big
Speaker 1: part of it.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking all the all encompassing everything, COVID, woke, inflation,
Speaker 2: Biden too old to be president. I mean that is
Speaker 2: like the sixties, which was a whole bunch of different things,
Speaker 2: the late sixties just all in one little period of time.
Speaker 2: It was a hell of thing to live through. I
Speaker 2: hope it's over. As you can see from Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: it might not actually be over. Yes, Senile Biden, I
Speaker 2: think is outside of what I'm gonna mention. But the COVID,
Speaker 2: the damage done by COVID, other than the disease, the
Speaker 2: damage done by the government crackdown was absolutely of the
Speaker 2: radical left, trampling on people's liberties. But if you're of
Speaker 2: a certain age and you went through like the nineties
Speaker 2: were like nothing happened. I mean, the idea, an assassination attempt,
Speaker 2: a couple president of senile, inflation, just all these things.
Speaker 1: What a crazy four years?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no kidding, more ideas, Hawk says, the roaring twenties.
Speaker 2: Or conversely, PF post Floyd the time that government weaponized
Speaker 2: public opinion.
Speaker 1: I look for things that make me go, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: And during that period of time, everybody lost faith in
Speaker 2: the judicial branch and.
Speaker 1: All of the media.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, as ordered well yeah, on both sides of
Speaker 2: the isle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Call it America's second suicide attempt, writes Tithe first was
Speaker 2: the late sixties.
Speaker 1: According to historian Paul Johnson.
Speaker 2: That's a good one American suicide attempt.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Brian in Nevada says, call it the national aneurism. All right, Okay,
Speaker 2: we'll do. Uh, let's see. Eric says, call it Obama's
Speaker 2: third term.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Not sure that's as descriptive as I'd like. What do
Speaker 2: we have Michael a minute? This is an unbelievable note
Speaker 2: from a frequent correspondent, Jess in Wiley, Texas. Dog walking
Speaker 2: is a clear crime, Iran's latest morality push. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: actual coverage of there's a fatwah against dog walking in
Speaker 2: Iran because it's seen having dogs is seen as Western
Speaker 2: because the Koran says dogs are unclean and blah blah
Speaker 2: blah and you shouldn't have a dog. They are kind
Speaker 2: of well, yes they are, and we can get into
Speaker 2: that the ban on walking your dog in Iran, but
Speaker 2: just points out.
Speaker 1: If I put my doing a head scarf of my
Speaker 1: okay or no.
Speaker 2: Yes, no dancing, no music, no cute hair outfits, and
Speaker 2: now no puppies, Like, how the hell does this culture
Speaker 2: of literally zero fund for anyone takeover like this? They're
Speaker 2: taking over my town of Wiley, Texas. They took the
Speaker 2: top forty pop music off the speakers at the big
Speaker 2: gym I work out at so as not to offend
Speaker 2: the quickly growing religious Muslim population here whoa, Yes, no
Speaker 2: pop music in Texas, less the Muslims. And then if
Speaker 2: you really really hate the fact that your town has
Speaker 2: changed completely, you're a bad person, according to lots of
Speaker 2: people nativist. According to the prevailing opinion during the woke Apocalypse,
Speaker 2: if I liked my town better before, why can't I
Speaker 2: keep it that way or vote to keep it that way,
Speaker 2: or wish it were still that way? How does that
Speaker 2: make me bad person? Or uh, just resent the changes?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I was distracted. We have a winner, Howard writes,
Speaker 2: the Great Oppression, but not the Great Depression, the Great
Speaker 2: Oppression oppression.
Speaker 1: Howard from LA scores that is pretty good.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk more about the La riot and coming
Speaker 2: up an hour or two Armstrong and Getty
