Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Jetty Trump
Speaker 2: thinks changing the clocks twice a year is stupid. Congress
Speaker 2: voted on it yesterday. They overwhelmingly agreed. More on that
Speaker 2: a little bit later where that might be going. And
Speaker 2: according to the Washington Post, and I don't know if
Speaker 2: this is true or not, but they claim that cigarettes
Speaker 2: are cool again, cigarettes are cool again with the young people.
Speaker 2: Is just kind of a fang.
Speaker 1: I saw that headline and it didn't get a chance
Speaker 1: to look into it. Okay, all right, they're bad for
Speaker 1: you kids. It's not a good idema.
Speaker 2: They know it's bad for him, but they just think
Speaker 2: it looks cool. Yeah, I think that does look cool.
Speaker 2: By the way, Oh, that's terrible. You just encourage smoking there. Umm.
Speaker 1: I think it may have to do with what we're
Speaker 1: about to talk about it, at least to some extent,
Speaker 1: because the forces of the political left that are trying
Speaker 1: to overthrow Western civilization in the United States, capitalism at Sarah,
Speaker 1: they've got to convince young people in particular that they
Speaker 1: have no future. You know, their lives are miserable and
Speaker 1: put upon, you might as well smoke.
Speaker 2: What's the point? Who cares? I know we're going in
Speaker 2: that direction, but uh yeah, one thing they acknowledge, and
Speaker 2: I think this is true, smoking cigarettes looks cool for
Speaker 2: men and women. A chick who smokes, I don't know
Speaker 2: why that's so hot, I mean, and every It must
Speaker 2: be universal because they do it in movies all the time.
Speaker 2: The hot chick smokes.
Speaker 1: But because you know they're not a goodie two shoes,
Speaker 1: which means they might also be sexual libertines.
Speaker 2: Is that what's going on subconsciously? Kind of?
Speaker 1: No, consciously, I just explained it to you consciously consciously.
Speaker 2: But I know what's the if she smokes, she pokes?
Speaker 2: Is that what they used to say, good Lord points
Speaker 2: for being concise. Vaping is douchey, though, looks douchey for everyone,
Speaker 2: and everybody does it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, men and women, nothing cool looking mind in their douchiness.
Speaker 2: There's nothing cool looking about grabbing the vape pen and
Speaker 2: taking away. Isn't that interesting? Though? So it can't just
Speaker 2: be the It can't be what you said then, because
Speaker 2: that doesn't make sense because vaping's even worse for you.
Speaker 2: So I don't think, Wow, she's vaping, and that's even
Speaker 2: worse than having a cigarette. Very hot. I don't think
Speaker 2: that vaping looks dumb. Smoking a cigarette looks cool. I
Speaker 2: think we're just convinced by movies from way back in
Speaker 2: the day. All the cool people smoked, and that got
Speaker 2: into our heads if you're of a certain age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mostly I'm trying to come up with a rhyme
Speaker 1: involving vaping that's not abhorn and I can't. So never mind, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't even do not No, nobody, nobody is allowed to so.
Speaker 1: On a more serious topic, I think not enough people
Speaker 1: understand that one of the great strategies, the absolutely written down, understood,
Speaker 1: agreed upon strategies of the radical left, whether they're of
Speaker 1: the conventional like Neo Marxist types or Islamists for that matter,
Speaker 1: one of the main strategies is to deny that they're
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing. They some of them will say
Speaker 1: openly they want to overthrow the constitution. A lot of
Speaker 1: them will just say, though, we want fairness, or we
Speaker 1: want the opportunity to worship the way we want, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, And one of the great examples of that
Speaker 1: is you remember during the the woke Apocalypse, when everybody
Speaker 1: was afraid to say no.
Speaker 2: A man can't just say is a woman. That doesn't
Speaker 2: make him a woman.
Speaker 1: You can lose your job for that, or saying all
Speaker 1: lives matter or whatever. During the woke Apocalypse, everybody was afraid.
Speaker 1: We weren't afraid. We were saying what we wanted to anyway.
Speaker 1: One thing I heard a hundred times is that critical
Speaker 1: race theory. It's not being taught in schools. That's an
Speaker 1: secure legal concept that's taught in some law schools, as
Speaker 1: if critical theory that the philosophy launched in the sixties
Speaker 1: by Frenchmen, because of course it was Frenchman. That's everywhere
Speaker 1: in universities, it's everywhere in the colleges of education, it's
Speaker 1: everywhere in the teachers' unions, it's everywhere in freaking third
Speaker 1: grade classes in a lot of places. Now they're teaching
Speaker 1: the kids that America is a racist country, that it's
Speaker 1: systemically racist, it needs to be brought down, be brought down.
Speaker 1: Capitalism is evil, it exploits people, blah blah blah all
Speaker 1: the time. But they deny they're doing it obviously, so
Speaker 1: this is something else. How open some people are being
Speaker 1: about this. The Chicago teach Chicago Teachers Union hosted an
Speaker 1: Israel hating communist convention where radicals were openly calling for
Speaker 1: sabotaging US ports and backing Iran. Here's one quote from
Speaker 1: the meeting. If we can shut down even one term
Speaker 1: for two hours, that's millions of dollars out in logistics.
Speaker 1: So the CTU hosted a Marxist anti Israel conference last weekend,
Speaker 1: which openly celebrated terrorism, introduced fledgling activists to quote the
Speaker 1: growing BDS movement. BDS is where you like, tie up
Speaker 1: your lover and spank them. What I'm sorry the control
Speaker 1: room is telling me.
Speaker 2: I thought it was them South Korean androgynist boy band. No, no,
Speaker 2: neither one.
Speaker 1: It's actually the Boycott, divest sanction movement, virulently anti Israel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like you. I don't know why teachers
Speaker 2: have an opinion at all on Israel. You teach reading
Speaker 2: and science, particularly there in Chicago, where you're doing a
Speaker 2: horrible job of it, but to not only be anti
Speaker 2: Israel but pro Ooran. Yeah, that's just insane.
Speaker 1: Well, it's the Red Green Alliance we're always talking about,
Speaker 1: but they were pushing their adherence to again grow join
Speaker 1: The growing BDS movement called on its members to support
Speaker 1: Israel's I'm sorry, Iran's Axis of Resistance. You need to
Speaker 1: support Iran because they're part of the resistance against the
Speaker 1: Western patriarchy, good Lord, and telling them to prepare for
Speaker 1: violence against the United States and Israel. Ryan Delaying, each
Speaker 1: chair of communications for Jacksonville, Palestine's Solidarity Network, told attendees,
Speaker 1: We're all here to toughen our knuckles. I hope that
Speaker 1: everybody leaves here ready to fight when they get home.
Speaker 1: He told roughly two hundred cheering attendees, not only two hundred,
Speaker 1: but again, what the off is the Chicago Teachers Union
Speaker 1: doing there. Sarah Flounders, a member charmingly named member of
Speaker 1: the Secretariat of the Marxist Leninist Workers World Party, thundered
Speaker 1: to the crowd that the enemy is at home. Change
Speaker 1: doesn't ask for permission. It'll be violent, it'll be stormy,
Speaker 1: it'll be unpredictable. But she praised attendees as a really militant,
Speaker 1: determined group. The second annual gathering of the Anti War
Speaker 1: Action Network and agglomeration of dozens of local activist groups
Speaker 1: around the country, united by their hatred of Israel and
Speaker 1: mission to obstruct American imperialism quote unquote. The Washington Free
Speaker 1: Beacon purchased a couple of tickets and was able to
Speaker 1: seamlessly mingle with attendees for two days and observe to
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. The gathering was held at the
Speaker 1: Teachers Union's headquarters at nineteen oh one West Carol Avenue
Speaker 1: in the city's West Town neighborhood. That's very close to
Speaker 1: where the RNs or the DNC was last year, last year,
Speaker 1: two years.
Speaker 2: Two years ago. Today. No, that was the DNZ, that
Speaker 2: was not today anyway.
Speaker 1: There was Teachers Union signage, even a headless mannequin wearing
Speaker 1: Chicago Teachers Union t shirts were present throughout the venue.
Speaker 1: Conference goers were a motley crew of aspiring revolutionaries. This
Speaker 1: is not going to help the point I'm making that
Speaker 1: we need to take this seriously, but I will include it. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: About twenty percent wore masks for some reason. Many attendees
Speaker 1: were noticeably obese, and there was also a large contingent
Speaker 1: of openly transgender participants. Breakfasts included gluten free and panadas
Speaker 1: and vegan fair while a gender neutral bathroom did brisk business.
Speaker 2: They wore masks.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of this, and this is intentional
Speaker 1: by the neo Marxist movement. They want to take every misfit,
Speaker 1: every trans confused person who's not comfortable with their sex,
Speaker 1: every gay person, every alienated kid who in generations past
Speaker 1: would grow their hair and learn to play the guitar,
Speaker 1: you know, every person with a useless degree that put
Speaker 1: them one hundred thousand dollars in debt, and now they're
Speaker 1: blaming capitalism for their life choices. They're trying to harness
Speaker 1: all of these people and tell them it's the evils
Speaker 1: of the system and we need to overthrow it. The
Speaker 1: reason you don't have a happy life is because of
Speaker 1: the system. Blame others. That's the key aspect of socialism.
Speaker 1: It's the politics of envy and blame. But man, it's
Speaker 1: just sick that the teachers' union is so involved in this.
Speaker 2: Of course, the teachers' unions.
Speaker 1: Are now hardcore, a validly far leftist organizations. They have
Speaker 1: nothing to do with children and teachers at all.
Speaker 2: No, I don't understand why more people don't know that.
Speaker 1: A map of the meeting facility, which guided convention goers
Speaker 1: to the different rooms named for various prominent terrorists and dictators,
Speaker 1: had the name Chicago's Teachers Union prominently displayed next to
Speaker 1: a map of Iran. They openly play praised Fidel Castro,
Speaker 1: maout say dung. There's a reference in one of the
Speaker 1: posters to oh our elder mentor uncle Joe. Was a
Speaker 1: reference to Joseph Stalin.
Speaker 2: So this wasn't a California Teachers' Union meeting, but they
Speaker 2: used or Chicago Teachers' Union meeting, but they used their building.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and they sanctioned it and co sponstered it
Speaker 1: in effect. But the fact that there's not more pressure
Speaker 1: put on Chicago. We've gone through their numbers. There's schools
Speaker 1: in the Chicago area where you could make the argument
Speaker 1: that the kids would be better off if you close
Speaker 1: the school, or at least there would be no more
Speaker 1: harm done. They have zero percent kids.
Speaker 2: With fluency in writing in mathematics, so you could make
Speaker 2: the argument that you should just close the school. It
Speaker 2: wouldn't make any difference. Do they have to answer for
Speaker 2: that at all or are you too busy trying to
Speaker 2: figure out why we should help or Ran.
Speaker 1: I think we need to be as militantly anti these
Speaker 1: people as they are anti the country that we love.
Speaker 1: I really, I really mean that we have we wited way, way,
Speaker 1: way too long. Look at the schools now, there are
Speaker 1: factories of indoctrination of the little kids. It's crazy anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is crazy.
Speaker 2: Makes you want to go out on the playground and
Speaker 2: smoke a cigarette, which I guess is cool. Again, it's
Speaker 2: not good for your kids. Talk about that. Among other things.
Speaker 2: On the way, this happened while we were on there
Speaker 2: yesterday are yesterday, So we talked about it a little bit.
Speaker 2: But Trump reversed course completely on that whole tolls for
Speaker 2: the straight over moves. Hey, he's spitballing, brainstorming. There are
Speaker 2: no bad ideas here, and so where we are on
Speaker 2: that whole war. The New York Times basically declaring today
Speaker 2: that we have lost the war. I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's true or not. There's still time to salvage it.
Speaker 2: We ain't want it, that's for certain. Among other things
Speaker 2: on the way, stay.
Speaker 3: Here, Patrick Layy, a broken hit, Nancy Pelosi hit replacement surgery.
Speaker 2: And study Hoyer in the hospital with pneumonia. Elenor Holmes
Speaker 2: Norton is in the early stages of dementia.
Speaker 1: Dwight Evans, who's seventy one.
Speaker 2: At a stroke, Bernie Sanders a sideline by a heart attack.
Speaker 1: Congressman Kay Granger lived in an assistant living facility for
Speaker 1: dementia patients while still serving in Congress and drawing a
Speaker 1: congressional paycheck.
Speaker 4: Why are we tolerating this level of national frailty in
Speaker 4: our lawmaking? And it's not just anti old people. It's
Speaker 4: not disrespect to ask this question. In Japan, they revere
Speaker 4: the elderly, but the one thing they don't do is
Speaker 4: put them in charge of everything.
Speaker 2: That's really interesting. I wonder if we're going to break
Speaker 2: away from that all at all kind of thought after
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, maybe we would. Obviously we've followed Joe Biden
Speaker 2: with the Trump will be the oldest president ever by
Speaker 2: the time he leaves, won't he? Yeah, he's eight.
Speaker 1: Wonder if it used to be you know, the power
Speaker 1: of incumbency had to do with I think most districts
Speaker 1: being more competitive. I mean, now, if you say to
Speaker 1: me in my district, hey, we're gonna swap out this
Speaker 1: Republican for this Republican. I'm like, yeah, okay, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to root for the Democrat, and either
Speaker 1: is anybody else, and vice versa in other districts. So
Speaker 1: why are we hanging on to these ancients? If you
Speaker 1: just swap out one D for another, one R for another,
Speaker 1: maybe it'll come to an end.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because to run you'd have to have
Speaker 2: the backing of the party, and they're at no point
Speaker 2: ever gonna take even the slightest risk of swapping out
Speaker 2: the seventy two.
Speaker 1: Year old for a forty two year old, especially if
Speaker 1: the seventy two year old kind of likes the gig right,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know, but we got to break
Speaker 1: out of it somehow.
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's nut. So there's no other aspect
Speaker 2: of life where you'd say, you know, let's let's let's
Speaker 2: turn it all over to a seventy year olds and
Speaker 2: eighty year olds almost exclusively to do it right. What
Speaker 2: that is really really wild. But on the other hand,
Speaker 2: Mark Alprin says that at least currently he thinks Bernie
Speaker 2: Sanders has got a really strong chance of being the
Speaker 2: Democratic nominee based on the directions the winds blowing and
Speaker 2: Bernie's success in the past, and in fact that Bernie
Speaker 2: stills as sharp as ever he has. He doesn't look
Speaker 2: like he's lost a step and he's eighty four. I
Speaker 2: think Alpern's right. All the energy on the left is
Speaker 2: the young socialists. You could tell you so them socialism
Speaker 2: isn't something to be apologized for, to something to brag about.
Speaker 2: He could easily see Bernie getting the nomination. I think
Speaker 2: could they necap him a third time? I don't know.
Speaker 2: He might necap himself with a fall.
Speaker 1: Remember it took a couple of heroes like James Clyburn
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden to save the Democrats from the scourge
Speaker 1: of Bernie last time.
Speaker 2: So he's got a birthday coming up, so I think
Speaker 2: he'll be eighty seven when he took office. Wow, is
Speaker 2: that right? Yeah, because he's got a birthday coming up,
Speaker 2: so the eighty five, and then he would be eighty
Speaker 2: seven when he actually took office if he won that,
Speaker 2: I mean that we're already into ridiculous vill that we
Speaker 2: have presidents in their eighties, but eighty.
Speaker 1: Seven, right, Democrats, he's tanned, he's rested he's been in
Speaker 1: the gym. Eric Swallwell, maybe a little rapie, maybe a
Speaker 1: little Chinese spy lover, but come on.
Speaker 2: This just came across this article. They're really trying to
Speaker 2: get a different security system going at airports in Europe
Speaker 2: the EU, particularly all biometric checkpoints, which they think is
Speaker 2: going to speed things up once they get it going,
Speaker 2: but trying to get it going is really bogging things down.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm not traveling around Europe this summer. They
Speaker 2: got to get you into the system first, with your fingerprints,
Speaker 2: your eye scans, your face scans, all the different sort
Speaker 2: of stuff. So the first time you fly anywhere in
Speaker 2: the EU system this summer, they got to get all
Speaker 2: that information, which takes a while. So the lines have
Speaker 2: been terrible, hours long waits anytime of day, everywhere. But
Speaker 2: the theory is once you're in the system, it's going
Speaker 2: to be much faster than having to show a passport
Speaker 2: or anything else. You'll just walk through and it'll read
Speaker 2: all your biometrics and it'll be practically instantaneous, which sounds
Speaker 2: pretty cool other than the being able to track you
Speaker 2: everywhere you go part of it. It was funny and
Speaker 2: I meant to talk about this going to and fro
Speaker 2: the United States for our cruise to Alaskas, because we
Speaker 2: had to pass briefly through the lawless region of Canada.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of biometrics being used in
Speaker 1: airports now, including in customs. We just paused in front
Speaker 1: of a camera, took pictures of us and said, hey, Joe,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the States. How are you, buddy, and
Speaker 1: then we filled out our silly little form for customs.
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't talk about this. And the passenger I
Speaker 1: knew of was asked do you have anything to declare?
Speaker 1: And that passenger said, yeah, I bought some earrings that
Speaker 1: were way above the limit. The officer said, enjoy them.
Speaker 1: That passenger just kept walking. So I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: we're doing here any fear not Osama bin Laden and
Speaker 1: they let you back in.
Speaker 2: Do you have anything to declare? I like shares music?
Speaker 2: Does that count? So before I get into a bunch
Speaker 2: of news I want to talk about, just didn't add
Speaker 2: a little bit of go for this new bed I
Speaker 2: got from a locally. Because we're on a bunch of
Speaker 2: stations across the country. I don't know where you're listening
Speaker 2: to us right now or listening to the podcast, but
Speaker 2: we're broadcasting out of Sacramento. And I got a new
Speaker 2: bed from European Sleep Design. But anyway I was doing it.
Speaker 2: I was mentioned in the ad that I got the
Speaker 2: movable base, which I had once years and years ago
Speaker 2: on a bed, but I never used it for some reason.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't even remember why, but
Speaker 2: I just never used it and never really thought about
Speaker 2: it using. But now I got it and I use
Speaker 2: it all the time. It's one of my favorite things
Speaker 2: that's ever happened in my life. Like raise my feet
Speaker 2: up and everything. I'm really enjoying it.
Speaker 1: Wow, I pictured you more like you're raising your top
Speaker 1: up to read or something like.
Speaker 2: I do some of that, Yeah, but I don't know
Speaker 2: why I haven't. It vibrates also, which I haven't found
Speaker 2: that beneficial to me a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole vibrating bed thing. I learned that as
Speaker 1: a kid back in the day. Gladys I remember it was.
Speaker 2: The nineteen seventies. That was a young lad.
Speaker 1: We were traveling back and forth to my grandparents in
Speaker 1: New Jersey, and we would usually stop for one night
Speaker 1: on the way and often the beds in the hotels
Speaker 1: would have what was called, charmingly at the time, magic fingers.
Speaker 2: Oh right, you're right. You can stop at a super eight,
Speaker 2: and some of the beds would have magic fingers. You
Speaker 2: put coins in a slot like it was a car
Speaker 2: wash or something or.
Speaker 1: Pitball, put a corner in there, and the thing vibrates
Speaker 1: somewhat for about five minutes. And it was pretty funny
Speaker 1: as a kid that the bed was vibrating like that.
Speaker 2: But I didn't find the relaxing. Well, weren't the jokes.
Speaker 2: So I got the sense as a kid that it
Speaker 2: was a sexual thing with the jokes that were on
Speaker 2: sitcoms and whatnot. Is that why why do people want
Speaker 2: the bed devices. I'll go home today, I'll lay face
Speaker 2: down on it and let you know what I mean
Speaker 2: of it. Oh my god, that was regrettable. Let's move on.
Speaker 2: Let's just move on. And I'm liking the movable base.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. It's like one of the great
Speaker 2: pleasures of my life. Now we got much higher. My
Speaker 2: feet are than my torso it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Mere, the great pleasures of your lifeh You like.
Speaker 2: The Buddha over here. I just realized you've been into
Speaker 2: the free press more than I have been. I just
Speaker 2: realized every day we ought to just go through the
Speaker 2: free presses big stories because they're always great. Like for today,
Speaker 2: I'll do it. Their first story is about how telehealth
Speaker 2: might be killing us, and they got an example of
Speaker 2: a kid that was having some health problems and died,
Speaker 2: and then they found out no doctor ever like examined
Speaker 2: him in person. It was all telehealth and how that's
Speaker 2: a really growing part of our medical care. And he
Speaker 2: went to the ICU. Yeah, yeah, icee you telehealth?
Speaker 1: Yes, what seriously, the guy's in the ic you and
Speaker 1: they can't spare a human being to go to his
Speaker 1: bedside and check him out.
Speaker 2: That's obscene. Yeah, And it's a growing thing, the rise
Speaker 2: of tele ICU, where critically ill patients are monitored by
Speaker 2: physicians working from remote command centers, sometimes hundreds of miles away.
Speaker 2: And we haven't like really had a national conversation about
Speaker 2: whether or not we think this is a good idea
Speaker 2: or not. So that's one really good story that they've
Speaker 2: got in the free press today. The other one is
Speaker 2: this one, which I'll actually read in full. A third
Speaker 2: Trump impeachment some Democrats aren't so sure. I didn't realize this.
Speaker 2: Apparently there's quite a split among Democrats as to whether
Speaker 2: or not impeaching for a third time is a good
Speaker 2: idea or not. I've been assuming that as soon as
Speaker 2: the Democrats take the House. You got blasted on a
Speaker 2: text the other day. I get blasted on texts and
Speaker 2: tweets every single day about all kinds of different things,
Speaker 2: from my looks to my opinions. But got blast the
Speaker 2: text the other day. Why do you keep saying the
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to take the House because they are anyway,
Speaker 2: I've just been assuming as soon as they take the
Speaker 2: House they're going to immediately impeach Trump. But apparently there's
Speaker 2: quite a civil war according to the Free Press and
Speaker 2: Audrey Fahlberg in the Democratic Party, whether that would be
Speaker 2: the best expenditure of their time and you know, control
Speaker 2: of the House as opposed to trying to accomplish other
Speaker 2: things cool. I think at trump appeachment would be an
Speaker 2: incredible waste of time for the country. He's not going
Speaker 2: to be removed from office, there's almost zero chance of that,
Speaker 2: and we would just spend you know, a year, however long,
Speaker 2: going through that whole dog and Pony show again with
Speaker 2: nothing happening right right, But here's the story. I mostly
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about it in the Free Press that
Speaker 2: I thought was really really interesting that Douglas Murray, the
Speaker 2: Great Douglas Murray, now that he's with the Free Press.
Speaker 2: I had a feeling you were heading here how all
Speaker 2: gay cruise got stuck between Islam and the West. And
Speaker 2: one of the reasons it got my attention is because
Speaker 2: I saw the headline about this on Seeing and the
Speaker 2: other day. So you got these gay cruises, this particular one,
Speaker 2: the Scarlet Lady, two thousand gay Americans traveling around They
Speaker 2: were barred from docking in Turkey and Egypt. And the
Speaker 2: way it was portrayed in a lot of US and
Speaker 2: European media was the out of control conservative governments that
Speaker 2: have taken hole across Europe and trump Ism in the
Speaker 2: United States is making it very difficult for gay people
Speaker 2: all around the world. Right, the fact that they couldn't
Speaker 2: dock in Turkey and Egypt was part of a broader
Speaker 2: global trend. Yeah, the CNN headline was twice rejected. American
Speaker 2: crews put spotlight on rollback of LGBDQ Wright's passengers say, Okay, well, first,
Speaker 2: starting here, I've never understood the fear from the gay
Speaker 2: community about Trump being president. What what about Trump makes
Speaker 2: what what about him? Seems anti gay? Ginned up? Well,
Speaker 2: you've got absolutely completely ginned up though, I mean, he's
Speaker 2: not religious, he's a Manhattan liberal. Really his whole life,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's had more gay friends than most of
Speaker 2: you gay people at I just I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't even know that just I mean, it's like, really
Speaker 2: really made out a whole cloth. Yeah, but the headline
Speaker 2: in CNN, of course, leaves out where the rejected gay
Speaker 2: crew crews got rejected, and the fact that it was
Speaker 2: rejected in Turkey and Egypt. The reality of it is
Speaker 2: is you can probably guess that a lot of your
Speaker 2: Muslim countries and Muslim ports and Muslim governments don't like
Speaker 2: gay people at all, in fact, that they think you
Speaker 2: ought to be dead. And the mainstream media wants to
Speaker 2: make it about conservatives or religious fanatics that are Christian
Speaker 2: stopping gay rights moving forward, as opposed to the fact
Speaker 2: that it's Islamic fundamentalists. It's part of a broader global trend.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what I see all the time LGBTQ
Speaker 1: plus minus over the power of three rights are being
Speaker 1: rolled back. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing, you, Jesus, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: A made up narrative that is, oh my god, absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2: There's a long hits. Well, I I don't need to
Speaker 2: tell you this.
Speaker 1: The Muslim world doesn't like gay people, but they won't
Speaker 1: say that.
Speaker 2: These people.
Speaker 1: You, you know, I'm more and more convinced that doctor Savag,
Speaker 1: you and other people are right. Progressivism when it reaches
Speaker 1: a certain point, is so it causes such a delusional
Speaker 1: perception of reality that it is a mental disorder. If
Speaker 1: you see Muslim authorities in Muslim ports tell a cruise
Speaker 1: ship full of gay fellers, no, you can't come here,
Speaker 1: and you say, oh my god, Trump, you are mentally ill.
Speaker 1: M it's not a misperception, it's bizarre. Well, it's born
Speaker 1: out of where I think the mental illness is. And
Speaker 1: I got into this in my own head a lot
Speaker 1: during the self hating anti American stuff I was looking
Speaker 1: at over fourth of July. The mental illness is some
Speaker 1: sort of need to hate yourself and your own people.
Speaker 1: That's where the mental illness comes in. I don't know
Speaker 1: what drives it, but.
Speaker 2: It's weird, and it's strong enough that it will make
Speaker 2: you ignore all facts like the fact that our system
Speaker 2: has raised more people out of poverty than anything in
Speaker 2: world history, or we're more gay friendly than all these
Speaker 2: countries that you seem to love, and all this different stuff.
Speaker 2: It's weird.
Speaker 1: What tact the name of Stephen Pinker's book, Enlightenment Now,
Speaker 1: Moby Dick.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that's correct. Actually, hang on a second's
Speaker 2: right over here. It's about a bed over it quite
Speaker 2: like about a one legged guy chasing a who that's
Speaker 2: a different book.
Speaker 1: Enlightenment Now is indeed the name of Stephen Peker's book.
Speaker 1: Pinker's book The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress.
Speaker 2: You ought to read.
Speaker 1: It's brilliant. But anyway, to your point about ignoring facts.
Speaker 1: I love what Doug Murray writes the Naivetee, and I'd
Speaker 1: like to get more into the story. But the naivete
Speaker 1: of Scarlet Ladies, organizers and passengers point to two fascinating
Speaker 1: realities about the way in which modern Westerners view the
Speaker 1: rest of the world. First is the presumption that everybody
Speaker 1: everywhere is much like us, I've talked about this one
Speaker 1: hundred times. Speak to almost anyone with a thin veneer
Speaker 1: of this ideology, and they will tell you that everybody
Speaker 1: around the world wants pretty much the same things as
Speaker 1: we do. Freedom, including the freedom to love whoever you like.
Speaker 1: That's just wrong, that's incorrect. It is factually vacant of truth,
Speaker 1: and he writes. The sad poster children for this ideology
Speaker 1: might be Jay Austin and Lauren Geguan, an American couple
Speaker 1: from Washington, DC who quit their jobs in twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: to cycle around the world. As their travel journal put it,
Speaker 1: they wanted to meet all kinds of people in the
Speaker 1: world to prove that quote, by and large, humans are kind.
Speaker 1: Their journey finished on a road into Jkastan in July
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, when a truckload of local lads from Isis spotted.
Speaker 1: The couple swerved their truck into them, leapt out, and
Speaker 1: stabbed them to death. Jay and Lauren believed that by
Speaker 1: and large humans are kind, but the people they met
Speaker 1: on a roadside and tajikas Stan disagreed. A weak ideology
Speaker 1: met a strong ideology. In the strong ideology, one out.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of This is not funny, but it
Speaker 2: reminds me of the end of the movie Don't Look Up,
Speaker 2: which we were discussing yesterday, where Meryl Streep, who's President
Speaker 2: of the United States but a liberal, she believes they
Speaker 2: land on a planet with all these new animals and
Speaker 2: you know nature, we all we all love nature. Oh
Speaker 2: look nature, and she immediately gets eaten by this beast.
Speaker 2: It's like the people that went up to Alaska to
Speaker 2: live with the bears, the wolves or whatever, who got eaten.
Speaker 2: And the same thing with isis It's just it's a
Speaker 2: weird igno. Again, it's a mental illness.
Speaker 1: And before a word from our good friends at Rough Greens,
Speaker 1: Doug Murray's final question or semi final question, which I
Speaker 1: think is a good one to question in some feminists
Speaker 1: and a small number of gay rights activists have mulled
Speaker 1: for years. Here's the question, why does the battle for
Speaker 1: progressive rights always stop at the borders of Islam?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: It's because of Xena fan that I've also talked about
Speaker 1: for years and years and years. But anyway, you love
Speaker 1: your dog, you want them to live a long and
Speaker 1: healthy life.
Speaker 2: And healthy is the accent here.

Speaker 2: I just looked up what time the soccer match is today, England, Argentina,
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock Pacific, three Eastern. Okay, that works for me.
Speaker 2: I got ask thing I gotta go to taking someone to.
Speaker 1: You know, to answer very quickly our unspoken question of
Speaker 1: why the hell the leftists behave this way? Where As
Speaker 1: Doug Murray asks why do the why does the battle
Speaker 1: for progressive rights always stop at the borders of Islam? Well,
Speaker 1: mostly because if you want to overthrow our system or
Speaker 1: supplant it with a Marxist system, you can't ever admit
Speaker 1: now the US is way way way better on this,
Speaker 1: this and this than these third worlders that we embrace.
Speaker 2: I mean, let's admit that. You can never make that confession.
Speaker 2: So what was a clip you got, Michael? A man
Speaker 2: attacked by a beaver? Is that good? Yes? It is.
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. Now it has some frightening details. You say, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was just a visual. I mean, in your mind
Speaker 2: you think about it, it's pretty scary. Man attacked by
Speaker 2: you could be more terrifying, among other things. On the way, Stay,
Speaker 2: don do we need to set up the beaver attack
Speaker 2: or no? It's just him. It's a guy and his
Speaker 2: buddy in Lake George. And things went very poorly. Where's
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, where's Lake George? Do we know? I don't
Speaker 2: know exactly. You say it like you're some sort of
Speaker 2: Lake George expert. Michael like, like, we all go to
Speaker 2: Lake George every weekend in water ski, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm going to be well be set
Speaker 1: by beavers, I would like to know I'm in danger.
Speaker 1: My guess is it's a lake teeming with beavers. Yes, anyway,
Speaker 1: somewhere or other, and we hear is right.
Speaker 5: The first time my friend ended up picking it up
Speaker 5: swam back at him, so we were like, okay, just
Speaker 5: is out for blood. This was a puncture. But his
Speaker 5: teeth went through my stomach. He said something attacked him.
Speaker 5: I just jumped in the water and then I grabbed
Speaker 5: whatever it was attacking him, pulled it out. I was
Speaker 5: a little freaked out. I didn't like think it was
Speaker 5: a beaver at first, you know. I just grabbed this
Speaker 5: little brown blob in the water. It ended up biting
Speaker 5: me a few times as I got it out of
Speaker 5: the water, so I was like, I got to keep
Speaker 5: a good grip on this thing. And then I just
Speaker 5: tossed him pretty far.
Speaker 1: Just set by beavers. Good Lord, tell you what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna think twice before visiting Lake George.
Speaker 2: Remember that is I've told the story many many times
Speaker 2: where I was nearly attacked by a badger as a
Speaker 2: child in Wisconsin, and I can still picture it was
Speaker 2: so horrifying. Wow, the badger stay, It stood up on
Speaker 2: its hind legs and came after me. I think I
Speaker 2: had gotten too close a mom and or baby badgers.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but man, that thing was angry at me.
Speaker 2: And the way it screamed, Oh, I can still are Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's kind of a hissing screaming. It was on its
Speaker 2: hind legs running at me. Good Lord.
Speaker 1: Lake George appears to be in New York State. My
Speaker 1: guess would be there's a Lake Georgian roughly sixteen states.
Speaker 2: That's not a bad point anyway, And be careful people.
Speaker 2: I got my youngest kid has been on camps Boy
Speaker 2: Scout camps three weeks out of twenty three days, twenty
Speaker 2: one out of twenty three days. He's got three Boy
Speaker 2: Scout camps like this. Last one was. He got home
Speaker 2: on Saturday afternoon, we washed clothes, he went to bed.
Speaker 2: I took him in the morning for another camp and
Speaker 2: He's absolutely been loving it, including his ridiculous trip to
Speaker 2: the Bahamas. Man, there's a wait on one percent sort
Speaker 2: of boy scout trip. Did he get his dackery bedge?
Speaker 2: I actually did a lot of snorkeling and learning how
Speaker 2: to sale and stuff like that. Was pretty cool, cool,
Speaker 2: but it's been very weird. It's been weird to find
Speaker 2: out what how much different it would be to be
Speaker 2: the parent of one kid as opposed to two kids.
Speaker 2: For one thing, because I've had just one kid under
Speaker 2: my roof for the past three weeks, and it's less
Speaker 2: than half as much work in terms of meals and laundry,
Speaker 2: it seems like, and everything like that. Also lotless one
Speaker 2: so far, like just less entertaining, less interaction, one less
Speaker 2: person to you know, for the conversations and everything like that.
Speaker 2: Kind of weird for just Sam and I to be
Speaker 2: sitting there staring at each other eating dinner. So what'd
Speaker 2: you do today? I mean, the energy is just way different.
Speaker 1: Well, I could probably write a sad, boring Gordon lightfootesque
Speaker 1: song about you know, Judy and I had a two
Speaker 1: person household and three then four, than five, then four
Speaker 1: than three, then two and yeah, yeah, the difference in energy,
Speaker 1: g mirth, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Is notable.
Speaker 1: It's the normal rhythm of life, which keeps me from
Speaker 1: being depressed about it. But yeah, yeah, that's there's a difference,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: I wonder how much it is the normal rhythm of
Speaker 2: life historically, Since most people died when they were about
Speaker 2: thirty back in the day, you probably didn't go through
Speaker 2: this last part where the kids run off and you
Speaker 2: spend years and years by yourself. Yeah, yeah, true, true,
Speaker 2: that's an excellent question. That's funny. My physical yesterday, for
Speaker 2: some reason, my doctor and I got into this conversation
Speaker 2: about how many times we would have died if it
Speaker 2: weren't for modern medicine throughout our lives. We wouldn't be
Speaker 2: the age we currently are. If you went back in time,
Speaker 2: very very far, your biggest concern would be, I sure, hope,
Speaker 2: I don't like scrape myself on something rusty with a
Speaker 2: minor injury that I lose my arm or die or
Speaker 2: get a sore throat. For most of human history, you
Speaker 2: get a sore throat, you might have two weeks to live,
Speaker 2: all right, guy coughing next to you. Now it's annoying.
Speaker 2: Then it was a threat. Yeah, Yeah, isn't that something?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is got a lot coming up Hour four
Speaker 1: of the show. If you don't get our four, you
Speaker 1: got to go somewhere. Grab it via podcast Armstrong and
