Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2: Decide and now he arms ranged.
Speaker 3: From Studio CS and this is the dimly lit room
Speaker 3: default from the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications
Speaker 3: compound on Tuesday and run to the tutelage of our
Speaker 3: general manager, Benjamin Netting Yahoo.
Speaker 2: He is the Prime Minister of Israel. Why is he
Speaker 2: our general manager? That is correct? The invasion of Gaza
Speaker 2: City has begun, we're told the end stage of the
Speaker 2: battle to disarm Hamas. In spite of all the warnings,
Speaker 2: I would characterize them as whinings by various people in
Speaker 2: the political scene. It has begun. Well, if he didn't
Speaker 2: adjust his timing for the Charlie Cook shooting, Kirk Kirk, God,
Speaker 2: I did it again the Charlie Kirk shooting coverage, then
Speaker 2: you know it's a heck of a good coincidence for Israel,
Speaker 2: because that would be the number one story on every
Speaker 2: cable news channel, except for it's not because still obsessing
Speaker 2: about everything that is the assassination of Charlie Kirk, For
Speaker 2: better or worse, I'm kind of surprised we're on day
Speaker 2: five of it being not only the lead story, but
Speaker 2: practically the only story on cable news. Yeah. I just
Speaker 2: think people are generally aware that something has broken, and
Speaker 2: more and more people are more and more aware of that,
Speaker 2: and anything other than that seems insignificant, could be to
Speaker 2: a lot of folks, could be. You can't disagree with
Speaker 2: their conclusion. No, that conversation is at the highest level.
Speaker 2: The intricacies of the charges don't fascinate me that much.
Speaker 2: But that's just me fair enough. You know, there's a
Speaker 2: here's a federal charge, and there's then they'll be in
Speaker 2: court and here's your hearing, and just that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't get that excited about, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would agree with that, although, well it's going to
Speaker 2: feature in mailbag. But we got a great note from
Speaker 2: a listener who was wondering why the shooter I bother
Speaker 2: saying alleged at this point he's confessed, you right, the
Speaker 2: the assassin. Why hasn't he gone full soapbox statement advocating
Speaker 2: his beliefs because he's absolutely caught dead to right, and
Speaker 2: this emailers theory is that there was indeed fore knowledge
Speaker 2: among his community of ultra online tough talking gamer geek buddies,
Speaker 2: but they had no idea that he was actually the
Speaker 2: sort of guy who would do it, and he's trying
Speaker 2: to save their skins as his final act of friendship. Um,
Speaker 2: that makes more sense because if you're an outspoken advocate
Speaker 2: of something and you assassinate for somebody because you think
Speaker 2: you're on the right side of history and went to
Speaker 2: the trouble of writing messages on the bullets, you usually
Speaker 2: say it out loud because you think you will be
Speaker 2: well judged by history as a hero or at least right.
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, and he's still claiming he didn't do it,
Speaker 2: so that's a good point. So apparently he was talking
Speaker 2: about it like on discord, like the way gamers talk
Speaker 2: to each other. Yeah, that whole gaming world. Well any
Speaker 2: posted guys, it was May I'm sorry about all of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, oh okay, Well thanks for your apology. So
Speaker 2: how do you take that? Why did he say that?
Speaker 2: I don't know that I think was a load to
Speaker 2: pretty certainty, he knew that his cohort had been talking
Speaker 2: about this sort of thing and fantasizing about it, and
Speaker 2: maybe even had four knowledge of it. As those seven
Speaker 2: social media accounts we talked about yesterday, the exclusive in
Speaker 2: the Washington Free Beacon. He knew he had brought enormous
Speaker 2: trouble to them. Those parts haven't come home to roost yet,
Speaker 2: but I think he thinks they will. Yeah, I was reading.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've released the latest Bill Maher
Speaker 2: video yet, but he was recording the day Charlie Kirk
Speaker 2: was shot, and he had just done one of his
Speaker 2: basement conversations with him just a couple of months ago.
Speaker 2: I watched it over the weekend, and it's such a good,
Speaker 2: calm conversation. I mean, it's just so good. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it suggest you find it on YouTube and a model
Speaker 2: of what are politics out of a It's just so good.
Speaker 2: And he obviously liked the guy and is just so
Speaker 2: disturbed by the politics getting out of hand. Or you
Speaker 2: can't have the kind of conversations where Bill Maher has,
Speaker 2: you know, a conservative inn and talks to him. As
Speaker 2: he was making the point there are lots of people
Speaker 2: that want to kill both of them, him and Charlie Kirk. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he pointed out they're all lefties that wanted to
Speaker 2: kill both of them. Yeah, mar made a statement the
Speaker 2: other day. I can't remember if we had the audio
Speaker 2: about how now it's from that show. Oh it was, yeah,
Speaker 2: which I don't think is aired yet. Okay, Yeah, he
Speaker 2: was talking about I think Billy Corgan of Correct smashing pumpkins.
Speaker 2: That's right. Interestingly enough, today is the greatest day I've
Speaker 2: ever known. Happy for you anyway. He was saying that, Look,
Speaker 2: say what you want about the right wingers, but they'll
Speaker 2: talk to you, and you can talk to them, and
Speaker 2: they'll answer your questions and they're happy to chat with you.
Speaker 2: The lefties want nothing to do with anybody who disagrees
Speaker 2: with them. You're unclean, you're a horror, You're some human
Speaker 2: that's set sick. That's a sickness, and it doesn't exist
Speaker 2: exclusively on the left, obviously, but I would suggest culturally
Speaker 2: that is more the norm. For reasons we've discussed one
Speaker 2: hundred times. If you're conservative, you're surrounded by progressive media
Speaker 2: and education, maybe your church, people you work with, who
Speaker 2: are more than happy to tell you what you think,
Speaker 2: and you just say, well, all right, you're misguided, but
Speaker 2: you're nice. Turning into the Emmys, oh oh lord, well
Speaker 2: that's a mistake. But if you're a lefty, you don't
Speaker 2: turn on mainstream television and have to hear things you
Speaker 2: hate politically ever, ever, like, never once in your life
Speaker 2: do you go to a concert or a movie or
Speaker 2: flip on some TV show and have to hear politics
Speaker 2: you hate if you lean ever, if you lean right,
Speaker 2: it's every single time you flip on the TV, every
Speaker 2: concert you go to. But yeah, so I think that
Speaker 2: does have something to do with it. Well, and a
Speaker 2: lot of left America imagines, and Bill Maher was addressing
Speaker 2: this in his remarks, imagines that anybody who disagrees with
Speaker 2: them on the right is just a blood thirsty, wild
Speaker 2: eyed lunatic or an actual fascist or something. They actually
Speaker 2: believe it because they've never met one. It was like,
Speaker 2: and this is an odd parallel, but one of the
Speaker 2: successful facets of the gay rights movement was that, hey,
Speaker 2: the San Francisco was it fulsome street leather fair. This
Speaker 2: is not what being gay is. That's a bunch of freaks.
Speaker 2: It's your accountant, it's your next door neighbor, it's your coworker,
Speaker 2: it's you know whatever, your orthodonist. And that demystified the
Speaker 2: idea for a lot of people. Well, maybe we ought
Speaker 2: to have some of coming out as a conservative movement.
Speaker 2: Let's pick a day. What's a month from today? We
Speaker 2: gotta get organized. October sixteenth will be coming out. I'm
Speaker 2: out and I'm proud lean.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: So I just came across this on Twitter. Somebody's pointing
Speaker 2: out that CBS their coverage yesterday had somebody their guest
Speaker 2: on saying, motive remains elusive. It's not driven by an
Speaker 2: obvious political ideology. Oh my god, I saw that one
Speaker 2: where else. I've seen that on several different Oh my god,
Speaker 2: alphabet news that arcs Oh he said I hate Charlie
Speaker 2: Kirk and then he killed him because of his politics.
Speaker 2: Because of his politics. I'm thinking, oh, I lost a thread.
Speaker 2: That's too complicated. Good lord, The motive remains elusive. The
Speaker 2: guy went on and on at dinner till people like, oh, jeez,
Speaker 2: w you shut up. But how much he despised Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2: So God, what's it like to be that blind? So
Speaker 2: Trump is in England today for his second state dinner
Speaker 2: with the Prime Minister, and he's gonna hang out with
Speaker 2: King Charles. First time any presidents had two of those
Speaker 2: two state dinners in Great Britain. But here's the big thing. Yes,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be more horses for Trump than there was
Speaker 2: for Macron. Good They're gonna have more horses because they
Speaker 2: got to make it clear that the special relationship is
Speaker 2: even because they remember the thing with Macron like a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Is over the top in terms
Speaker 2: of pageantry, and I hate the pageantry. I mean, God,
Speaker 2: no kidding, no, no surprise at friends in Great Britain
Speaker 2: do it, since most of their lives they had kings
Speaker 2: and queens that ran the place. But I hate the pageantry.
Speaker 2: It's just the wrong image for everything that says democracy.
Speaker 2: But Trump's gonna be there and they're gonna make sure
Speaker 2: they have more horses for him than they had for Macron.
Speaker 2: That is a very trumpy thing. It is Moses to uses.
Speaker 2: Many people say our horses are the best that have
Speaker 2: ever tried, the horses I've ever seen, right and arms
Speaker 2: sources I some people say they're the biggest tors has
Speaker 2: ever seen. But they're gonna announce some sort of nuclear deal.
Speaker 2: But the reason I brought it up, and I want
Speaker 2: to talk about this more later, man, I was listened
Speaker 2: to a podcast over the weekend and yesterday with a
Speaker 2: writer from the Telegraphed. He's a commonist from the Telegraph
Speaker 2: talking about the troubles great Britain has and you could
Speaker 2: have it was I don't know how, I didn't know this,
Speaker 2: but you could have taken Britain out of it and
Speaker 2: put in the United States. And it was exactly the
Speaker 2: same thing. Endless theft at stores where things are locked up,
Speaker 2: illegal immigration, crime running rampant, so broke, and no neither
Speaker 2: party has any interest in doing anything about it at
Speaker 2: this point. The Conservatives have given up. Also, it's exactly
Speaker 2: the same situation. So how is that? What is driving that?
Speaker 2: And listen to this. There were gigantic marches again all
Speaker 2: over Britain two days ago. I think it was I saw.
Speaker 2: I've got a great story on that coming up. You
Speaker 2: haven't heard a word about, got very little coverage. There
Speaker 2: are hundreds of thousands of people in the street, enormous
Speaker 2: anti immigration marches right and anti government marches. Essentially because
Speaker 2: the government brought this upon them, they allowed it, they
Speaker 2: encouraged it, they're still encouraging it. The Reform Party is
Speaker 2: going to win the next election and that Nigel LeFarge
Speaker 2: guy is gonna end up being the head dude, and
Speaker 2: that is going to be one of the biggest political
Speaker 2: earthquakes in any of our lives. It'd be like if
Speaker 2: some if the Tea Party had won the next election
Speaker 2: in the United States. Yeah, back in twenty ten. That's
Speaker 2: what's going to happen in Great Britain because the Conservatives
Speaker 2: are out and the Labor is out because nobody likes
Speaker 2: either one of them anymore. Yeah, that's wild, but they are.
Speaker 2: They are not. They're worse than us, but not quite
Speaker 2: as bad as France in terms of their debt, but
Speaker 2: they're exactly the same thing. They're two main parties have decided, well,
Speaker 2: you can't get elected by running on we can't keep
Speaker 2: spending like this. It's a disaster. So they just ignore it.
Speaker 2: But how did that happen? How do they have the
Speaker 2: combination of immigration, crime not being punished, and spending behind
Speaker 2: their means, just like we do. What's in the water
Speaker 2: that's made that happen? I would suggest a large measure
Speaker 2: of it, and nobody ever talks about this, but I
Speaker 2: will continue because I remain uncontradicted. Is the fact that
Speaker 2: the Ponzi scheme absolutely depends on increasing the population on
Speaker 2: young people, specifically young workers, and you're not having babies
Speaker 2: Western world. And so for the very same reasons Germany
Speaker 2: and France and the United States have opened their borders.
Speaker 2: Britain did the same. They're desperate for young workers to
Speaker 2: support the social safety net Ponzi scheme. Well, and with
Speaker 2: that it requires all sorts of leftist programs just to
Speaker 2: let it to kind of lubricate it happening. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: have to talk about that later because, yeah, the letting
Speaker 2: crime go. Why do we both do that at the
Speaker 2: same time. Anyway, let's start the show officially before we
Speaker 2: get in trouble. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, September sixteenth to your twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: for Armstrong in getting we approve of this program. All right,
Speaker 2: let's beakin then officially recording FCC rules and regulations. Here
Speaker 2: we go, at mark, come on, just one clear shot,
Speaker 2: this all over?
Speaker 4: Come on, we got to get away from me. Why
Speaker 4: I want to fight him? Now kill us? Maybe you
Speaker 4: want to die?
Speaker 2: Do you.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: I'll jump first, Nope, and you jump first? Oh? I said,
Speaker 4: what's the matter with you? I can't swim?
Speaker 2: The jump will kill you is the next line. That's
Speaker 2: from Butcher cashtying the Sundance Kid. One of the biggest
Speaker 2: movie stars of all time, Robert Redford has died almost
Speaker 2: outlived his fame, as sometimes to people do, because you
Speaker 2: almost got to be fifty five to remember him at all.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. Well, his big movies were
Speaker 2: when we were little kids, and we're old. He had
Speaker 2: a number that we're pretty big too. He's big director, producer,
Speaker 2: true that. Anyway, we got a lot more to talk about,
Speaker 2: headlines on the way stay here, for instance. And I
Speaker 2: don't know the answer to this, but Katie, you're young.
Speaker 2: Is Robert Redford mean anything to you as a movie star? Yeah?
Speaker 2: He does, he does from what I'm not. I just
Speaker 2: know who he is. I don't know a lot of
Speaker 2: his roles, right, Yeah, you got to be old to
Speaker 2: have seen him in movies. Really yeah? Yeah, but you well,
Speaker 2: you don't have time to discuss this. Let's uh, it's
Speaker 2: very late, very late. We'll discuss Robert in first long legacy, etcetera.
Speaker 2: What you mean, big picture, it's very late. You just mean, like, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's late. I'm looking at the clock. Oh okay, let's
Speaker 2: figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with
Speaker 2: Katie Green.
Speaker 5: Katie starting with the Washington Post quote it was me suspect,
Speaker 5: and Charlie Kirkshooting appeared to confess in discord chat.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we were just discussing that last segment and
Speaker 2: why he isn't standing up for his what he believes.
Speaker 2: Why isn't he doing that?
Speaker 5: From The Free Beacon, new survey finds that nearly eighty
Speaker 5: percent of Jewish college students hid their religious identity within
Speaker 5: the last year.
Speaker 2: I don't doubt that a bit, I am because they're
Speaker 2: afraid of the right. Well, actually they are. Some of
Speaker 2: the fringe woke right is blatantly anti Semitic boot on
Speaker 2: campuses Bisca's the Left from the New York Post.
Speaker 5: Hama's mouthpiece praises hack star Hannah Edinberg's Free Palestine Emmy's message,
Speaker 5: but censors her bare shoulders in the video.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. We never played that yesterday, but
Speaker 2: so somebody went on an anti Israel brant, but they
Speaker 2: censored her bare shoulders. Yeah, that would be too much
Speaker 2: for the children. There's too much shallow idiotic virtue signaling. Well, no, no,
Speaker 2: she said. In the Muslim world, hey gotcha, they're outraged.
Speaker 5: Getcha from study fines, the average child is earning more
Speaker 5: than one hundred dollars per month in allowance.
Speaker 2: I could believe that with inflation. Yea one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: anyone who used to be axios twenty five dollars a week. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's not hard to do at all.
Speaker 5: Actually, let's go to the Babylon Bee fraud alert triggered
Speaker 5: as wife's credit card used to spend less than one
Speaker 5: hundred dollars at Target.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, kidding, Yeah, that's a perfect thing to fit
Speaker 2: in with your allowance thing. I mean, you know, I
Speaker 2: go to the grocery store to just get a couple
Speaker 2: of things and it's a hundred bucks. Yeah, so it
Speaker 2: shows you how he you know what one hundred dollars is.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Three dollars a week was good enough
Speaker 2: for me, it's good enough for my kids. Going to
Speaker 2: be thrifty a quarter to take out the trash seems reasonable,
Speaker 2: just like it was when I was right. We got
Speaker 2: some more news of the day to get to and
Speaker 2: there's a fair amount of it as always if you
Speaker 2: missed a segment at the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: Cracker Barrel announced yesterday that the company does not have
Speaker 6: a DEI department or use those practices while hiring. In fact,
Speaker 6: they don't ask you anything before hiring you.
Speaker 2: You can start today. That's kind of funny. But is
Speaker 2: there some narrative that Cracker Barrel is desperate for workers?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I don't get that.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing Seth Myers has never been in a Cracker Barrel,
Speaker 2: so no, wouldn't set foot in one. It's still good.
Speaker 2: So it's pretty interesting that Luigi Manngioni, he's the scumbag
Speaker 2: political assassin who killed the United Healthcare CEO in New York.
Speaker 2: And then you got first court appearance today for scumbag
Speaker 2: shooter of Charlie Kirk. Both politically young male political assassins
Speaker 2: who aren't crazy by the definition of no, they're not,
Speaker 2: they're not out of their minds. That was the guy,
Speaker 2: the guy that killed that poor girl on the train.
Speaker 2: He's completely crazy, right, So then you got it. That
Speaker 2: topic has got to be why did we let a
Speaker 2: crazy person crazy violent person room around the streets for
Speaker 2: so long, right, you can't really blame him, But you
Speaker 2: got two political assassins that are going to be in
Speaker 2: courtrooms today, and you know, figuring out where we go
Speaker 2: as a culture is a big thing, right Right. So
Speaker 2: an interesting offshoot of the horrible assassination of mister Kirk
Speaker 2: has been the fact that a number of people, a
Speaker 2: shocking number of people on the left of center online world,
Speaker 2: have been posting gleeful, celebratory, sarcastic celebrations of the cold
Speaker 2: blooded murder of a young father. Well, you know, I'll say,
Speaker 2: let's compare and contrast. You're going to have people. There
Speaker 2: are people right now. I'm looking at the TV outside
Speaker 2: the courtroom in New York City cheering Luis GIMNNGIONI the murderer.
Speaker 2: Why are Why do they get to do it out
Speaker 2: loud and not get the same sort of social pushback
Speaker 2: that the people cheering Charlie Kirk's death are. I They're
Speaker 2: both They're both as horrific in my opinion, right, they're
Speaker 2: you know, morally speaking to me, the Charlie thing is
Speaker 2: just so stark and clear. His message was the to
Speaker 2: murder him. I don't like his ideas, I don't like
Speaker 2: his words. I'm going to murder him. And then in turn,
Speaker 2: I'm so happy he got murdered. The healthcare ceo that
Speaker 2: morally speaking to me, it's clear enough, but it's not
Speaker 2: quite as ab because healthcare in this country is screwed up.
Speaker 2: Insurance companies have various practices that many people find loathsome
Speaker 2: profit over humanity blah blah blah, lobbyist zeb and it's
Speaker 2: just it's a little more cloudy to make the case again,
Speaker 2: It's not difficult to me, but it's just not quite
Speaker 2: as obvious. Yeah, a man, you got people cheering the
Speaker 2: guy who's going to be in quarter who killed another
Speaker 2: dad with young kids. So the CEO of United Healthcare,
Speaker 2: it's so freaking sick. Oh yeah, trust me, at its core,
Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent. Hey, Michael, need
Speaker 2: a couple of clips. Microsoft guy from yesterday, Let's trot
Speaker 2: him out again. Clip fifth, the first shaven headed, bearded,
Speaker 2: nos ringed Microsoft employee who most online over Charlie and
Speaker 2: today that he was shot.
Speaker 7: I said some things on Blue Sky and on threads
Speaker 7: that i I'm sorry, not sorry for, but I said
Speaker 7: them and I deleted them when it was requested that
Speaker 7: I do so by my employer.
Speaker 2: And then today, on a weekend, on a weekend.
Speaker 7: I'm told that I am no longer employed at Microsoft.
Speaker 2: Yes, because you're an idiot after six years of idiocy
Speaker 2: building the.
Speaker 7: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department from scratch?
Speaker 2: Oh, is that it all right? H Next clip and
Speaker 2: enjoy how he takes zero responsibility. I lose my job.
Speaker 7: Because one of you, some random person, reports my posts to.
Speaker 1: My employer, goes out of their way to find out
Speaker 1: where I work, and takes my job, takes my security
Speaker 1: away from me for a thought, for an opinion, and
Speaker 1: you talk about freedom speech like you care about it, and.
Speaker 7: You're just gonna take my money, my life, my food
Speaker 7: off my plate because I don't like Charley Kirk.
Speaker 8: That's not okay. It is not okay to target me
Speaker 8: because I felt joy that day. I can't help how
Speaker 8: I feel. I felt joy. That's me, that's what I believe. Wow,
Speaker 8: that's what I think of him. I can't help that,
Speaker 8: you know, so I don't deserve the job.
Speaker 2: I want to say is unclear on the concept, but
Speaker 2: there's so much, many different concepts. He's unclear on. I
Speaker 2: don't know where to start. He is, in an odd way,
Speaker 2: kind of an avatar of a whole bunch of those
Speaker 2: kind of points of view that I don't agree with.
Speaker 2: He's got the whole I'm owed job thing because I
Speaker 2: worked hard. You can work as hard as you want,
Speaker 2: and if a company decides to downsize, they get rid
Speaker 2: of you. That's not what happened here. They think you're
Speaker 2: a nut because of your ridiculous posting, and then I
Speaker 2: don't want you work in there, which is perfectly reasonable.
Speaker 2: And to him, the criminal act was reporting what he said,
Speaker 2: which his company found so despicable. They said, you can't
Speaker 2: work here anymore. So the big bad thing that happened
Speaker 2: in his mind is the reporting of it. Well, and
Speaker 2: the whole crazy thing that a lot of people on
Speaker 2: the left have of You know, these are my feelings.
Speaker 2: You can't tell me my feelings are wrong. Well, you can.
Speaker 2: I can tell you to keep them to yourself. You
Speaker 2: got to keep your feelings to yourself. Yeah, so there
Speaker 2: you go. You want to go, You want to go
Speaker 2: home and be happy for somebody's death, even though that's
Speaker 2: really twisted. I guess I can't stop you. But keep
Speaker 2: it to yourself. Yeah, yeah, boy, there's a lot there anyway.
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal now on the beach. Workers are
Speaker 2: getting fired over posts mocking Charlie Kirk's death, campaigns to
Speaker 2: alert employers to contentious posts, or posing new challenges for bosses.
Speaker 2: This is very different from past political controversies at work.
Speaker 2: They quote somebody as saying, well, before you get to that,
Speaker 2: because that might answer the question I'll ask this. Are
Speaker 2: people getting fired because companies think this is going to
Speaker 2: really bring some pressure upon us? Or are the people
Speaker 2: getting fired because companies are thinking you're not the kind
Speaker 2: of person I want around here. Probably both. I think
Speaker 2: it's the latter mostly, Yeah, And I mean, if we
Speaker 2: had somebody post around here, I wouldn't think it's gonna
Speaker 2: damage the operation. I just don't want you around. You're
Speaker 2: a nut, right right? You know. I've been thinking about
Speaker 2: this a lot because I am a crusader for free
Speaker 2: speech rights everywhere all the time. And he invoked a
Speaker 2: question of free speech. Of course, as I often say, yes,
Speaker 2: you have the freedom to express your ideas, but if
Speaker 2: people find your ideas loathsome they are going to react
Speaker 2: badly to them. Why do you express yourself if you
Speaker 2: don't expect your words to have an effect of some sort. Right.
Speaker 2: But the difference, the only effect you want is people
Speaker 2: in your tribe to give you a slap on the back. Right.
Speaker 2: And I was talking to a friend recently who lives
Speaker 2: in a blue state and works in a blue industry
Speaker 2: and said, the level of assumption that everybody agrees with us,
Speaker 2: and the complete blindness to the idea that even in
Speaker 2: a blue state forty three percent of people disagree with me.
Speaker 2: That's another example of what we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 2: How if you're a conservative, you're faced with politics you
Speaker 2: don't like always from birth. And if you lean left,
Speaker 2: teacher agrees with you, the guy on the Emmy's agrees
Speaker 2: with you, the guy at the concert you went to
Speaker 2: agree with you. So you just assume everybody agrees with you.
Speaker 2: So I think it's this. If I post something controversy controversial,
Speaker 2: which I haven't do, I expect pushback. Yeah. But if
Speaker 2: you're if you lean left, you probably post stuff just
Speaker 2: expecting kudos. Yeah, because you're surrounded by people in uh
Speaker 2: social media and on TV and all the things I
Speaker 2: just mentioned who agree with you, and because you've bullied
Speaker 2: your co workers into silence about what they think. So
Speaker 2: you're shocked that somebody's upset with it. That is interesting.
Speaker 2: I post expecting as could start a real war. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they post thinking people are going to love me for this.
Speaker 2: I just I don't. I can't understand how people fail
Speaker 2: to grasp the reality of people who disagree with them.
Speaker 2: It's as if that forty three percent in the bluest
Speaker 2: of blue states, because it's probably something close to that.
Speaker 2: It's as if they're a quite sound in the distance
Speaker 2: they can't quite make out. They're dimly aware of it,
Speaker 2: but they can't quite comprehend it. I don't know. It's
Speaker 2: where it's difficult to explain because I don't live in
Speaker 2: that world. But how do you think Trump got elected?
Speaker 2: If you think everybody agrees with you, I guess you
Speaker 2: think they're all somewhere else, or they're all ugly, fascist,
Speaker 2: racist stereotypes. Couldn't be my coworkers or neighbors or the
Speaker 2: people at this backyard barbecue right right. Again, the lack
Speaker 2: of awareness is just difficult for me to comprehend. So
Speaker 2: the outcry over employees' comments on kirk o post challenges
Speaker 2: for employers. The journal is saying, they quote a associate
Speaker 2: general counsel and vice president of HR for a big company.
Speaker 2: This is very different. I don't really feel like there
Speaker 2: was a time when you could have an individual make
Speaker 2: a statement on their personal social media and have their
Speaker 2: employer receive thousands of phone calls and then they go
Speaker 2: through a long list of employers who've gotten those phone
Speaker 2: calls and have taken action against employees or fired them
Speaker 2: or whatever. Well, if you're a Boston you have both those.
Speaker 2: You have the I don't want somebody who thinks this
Speaker 2: working around here and I'm getting endless phone calls. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 2: So I think there is a huge distinction between the
Speaker 2: cancel culture of the George Floyd aftermath lunacy that took
Speaker 2: hold of a lot of corporations in America and what
Speaker 2: we're seeing right now. After a word from our friends
Speaker 2: at Trust and Will, you know you need to do this.
Speaker 2: Do it today, get security and peace of mind by

Speaker 2: to Great Britain and they stopped him to ask some questions,
Speaker 2: and of course he had to go on about Robert
Speaker 2: Redford because he's old. Oh that's just ay day. Oh boy.
Speaker 2: So here's here's to me. A giant fundamental difference between
Speaker 2: canceling somebody who tweeted all Lives Matter and firing somebody
Speaker 2: who takes glee in the murder of Charlie Kirk, the
Speaker 2: former the BLM woke uh, a crowd going after people,
Speaker 2: a cancel culture. Thing was over fringe political opinions nobody
Speaker 2: had heard of five years ago, ten years ago, certainly
Speaker 2: five years ago then, and it was merely threats of
Speaker 2: damage done by activists on the left, again on principles
Speaker 2: that people are like, what are you talking about. It
Speaker 2: was sheer ideological brutality. This is calling out somebody who
Speaker 2: celebrates a cold blooded murder. Not celebrating cold blooded murder
Speaker 2: is blanking universal in the Western world. That's true. You'd
Speaker 2: have to compare it to people. And I don't know
Speaker 2: anybody who did this who posted I'm glad George Floyd
Speaker 2: got killed. But nobody was posting that right right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: to even point out, look, this guy shouldn't have died,
Speaker 2: but he wasn't a saint. I mean, he was a
Speaker 2: drug addict and a you know, and a criminal. In
Speaker 2: the rest of it, you could lose your job over that.
Speaker 2: By the sheer viciousness of the mob. Celebrating cold blooded
Speaker 2: murder is not a Johnny come Lately in the University
Speaker 2: subculture new idea. It's horrific. My god. The Old Testament
Speaker 2: was written thousands of years ago, and it's right in there. Well,
Speaker 2: even without the morality of it, it's the end of
Speaker 2: civilization or certainly self governance, right right, So I believe
Speaker 2: it's fundamentally different. You know, I say, call somebody in
Speaker 2: and talk to them. You don't need to summarily fire them.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's up to you. I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: I mean some of the posts that are just so
Speaker 2: clearly blatantly gleeful about his death. I don't want you
Speaker 2: around me. Right the year broken. We got mail bag
Speaker 2: on the way Trump of course saying interesting things the
Speaker 2: TikTok deal. Do you know what the TikTok deal is?
Speaker 2: I don't quite get it. Having heard the details today,
Speaker 2: stay tuned for all this, I guess. My continuing point
Speaker 2: is every clip I've seen from a Robert Redfrough movie
Speaker 2: on TV so far today has been from something from
Speaker 2: the early seventies or late sixties. Uh. Yeah, that's fifty
Speaker 2: years ago. Indeed, he was an old fella. He was
Speaker 2: very old, very old. I'm sorry. Freedom will be quote
Speaker 2: of the day and all discombobulated. This is from the
Speaker 2: great JK. Rowling, who just posted this online. If you
Speaker 2: believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents,
Speaker 2: you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs,
Speaker 2: you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish
Speaker 2: those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe
Speaker 2: political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're
Speaker 2: a terrorist. Wow, some people think she should be put
Speaker 2: in Slytherin for that. You know, well played, Phil Anonymous
Speaker 2: in Salt Lake says, may I add, if you are
Speaker 2: incapable of contemplating this because of who wrote it, you
Speaker 2: have been brainwashed. Nah. That's a good one. That's a
Speaker 2: good one, Philnonymous, well done. Mail Bag Drum's an ope
Speaker 2: mail bag at armstrung a geeddy dot com moved swiftly here.
Speaker 2: Sean writes, Guys, it must have been it's been difficult
Speaker 2: to listen to blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: He's taking issue with the idea that only the fringe
Speaker 2: of the left is celebrating this shooting. That has not
Speaker 2: been my experience at all. Having close friends who I
Speaker 2: consider middle of the road liberals overhearing conversations out and
Speaker 2: about and of course Twitter and even dating apps. I've
Speaker 2: come across so many who cannot even fake a bit
Speaker 2: of sympathy, at best, saying that spreading hate will put
Speaker 2: a target on your back. At worst expressing glee and
Speaker 2: unrestrained giddiness dating apps. People have these conversations on dating apps. Yeah, wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, thanks for the conversation, Sean. Yeah. At best
Speaker 2: they're saying, look, you say hateful things, it's going to
Speaker 2: put a argued on your back. Wow. All right. Let's
Speaker 2: see this is Adam. Whether or not people agree that
Speaker 2: the Microsoft guy should get fired over his tweets. I
Speaker 2: find one thing interesting. He said he'd created the Microsoft
Speaker 2: DEI program from scratch. It's also complaining about being fired
Speaker 2: for his views, and people online found out of his beliefs,
Speaker 2: which he willingly posted. How many people lost jobs or
Speaker 2: didn't get hired because of this guy is the DEI
Speaker 2: guy at Microsoft? Good one. How many qualified people who
Speaker 2: maybe shared some of their beliefs, not that it matters,
Speaker 2: didn't get a job because of his almighty DEI position.
Speaker 2: Good point. This smacks of the left demanding the government
Speaker 2: forced us to wear masks for COVID and now wants
Speaker 2: ICE agents not to wear masks while arresting criminals. The
Speaker 2: hypocrisy is palpable and disgusting. It's a good point about
Speaker 2: the DEI Department. Let's see by the wait jump over
Speaker 2: to this one. Oh, I like this Shelby from elkliss Grove, California.
Speaker 2: She's really troubled by elk Grove having no elk. I
Speaker 2: was catching up on the Fabulous Angie podcast. You briefly
Speaker 2: mentioned people you knew of who found it relaxing to
Speaker 2: end their day watching the news rant about how much
Speaker 2: they hated Trump. They referred to this as some kind
Speaker 2: of self care. Right. It worries me that there are
Speaker 2: so many people that mentally and emotionally unstable. My completely
Speaker 2: saying self care routine is as follows. One relaxing music,
Speaker 2: two scented candles. Three reading a book, specifically Dante's Inferno.
Speaker 2: So I can imagine to which circle of Hell each
Speaker 2: politician's celebrity and public figure would be assigned. Eh, maybe
Speaker 2: we're not that different anyway. Ohing two nice? Ah, I
Speaker 2: need a laugh. That's beautiful. Let's see do we have
Speaker 2: any more? How much time do we have Michael got
Speaker 2: about forty seconds. It was doctor Jay in Charleston, South
Speaker 2: Carolina who pointed out the reason the shooter is not
Speaker 2: cooperating with authorities is because he had shared his plans
Speaker 2: with some of the extremist buddies whose success kept a secret.
Speaker 2: The authorities have this loser dead to rights. There'd be
Speaker 2: no reason for him not to go full ideological squawk
Speaker 2: box right now, except that it would compromise the people
Speaker 2: who are also liable to be participating in his conspiracy,
Speaker 2: perhaps just shooting off their mouths online, I suspect, but
Speaker 2: if they knew and didn't come forward with the plans,
Speaker 2: they've committed a crime. Get Ready to hear the word
Speaker 2: genocide a lot in the next forty eight hours as
Speaker 2: Israel has gone into Gaza to finally wrap this thing up.
Speaker 2: It looks like Beyd Armstrong and Getty
