Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: I have to say, the drugs coming in by sea
Speaker 3: are down ninety four percent, and we're trying to figure
Speaker 3: out who the other six percent are.
Speaker 2: But they're down ninety four percent. We're going to start
Speaker 2: hitting them on land, which is a lot easier to do. Frankly, WHOA.
Speaker 2: Once again he's saying we're going to hit him on land.
Speaker 2: So they released three more videos overnight, three more boats
Speaker 2: that we blew out on the water dependent on and
Speaker 2: so that's quite a few boats over the period of time,
Speaker 2: and Trump once again mentioning we're going to start hit
Speaker 2: them on land. So there you go on that story.
Speaker 2: This is kind of breaking twenty twenty eight presidential news,
Speaker 2: which I hate coming out of my mouth because we
Speaker 2: spend way too much time talking about the president of
Speaker 2: the United States. But Marco Rubio has ruled out running
Speaker 2: if jd. Vance decides to run, which is pretty big
Speaker 2: news because most people that I follow seem to think
Speaker 2: that was going to be the big battle between Rubio
Speaker 2: and Vance, and Rubio said if he runs, I'm not running.
Speaker 2: HM might be a glide path for JD. Vance to
Speaker 2: the nomination could be Yeah.
Speaker 1: So also a big political news New York Times is
Speaker 1: out with a blockbuster story compiling a bunch of things
Speaker 1: Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, has said in a
Speaker 1: long series of interviews over the first year of mister
Speaker 1: Trump's second term with the author Chris Whipple, who's written
Speaker 1: a highly respected book about I'm told about presidential chiefs
Speaker 1: of staff.
Speaker 2: And then she tweets like we mentioned just last hour.
Speaker 2: Then she has tweeted, they took this stuff out of
Speaker 2: context and mischaracterized me. But I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: know what that means.
Speaker 1: And there are all sorts of quotes that are getting attention.
Speaker 1: Jade Vance has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade
Speaker 1: and changed from Trump critic at to ally for sort
Speaker 1: of political reasons because he was running for Senate.
Speaker 2: So how, I'm like, I don't know how that could
Speaker 2: be taken out of context. I don't know either.
Speaker 1: She might not be talking about that, because there are
Speaker 1: a dozen a dozen quotes at least that are getting attention.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is an avowed ketamine user and an odd,
Speaker 1: odd duck whose actions were not always rational or left
Speaker 1: her a gas. That's a several quotes in that sentence.
Speaker 2: That one doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1: Let's see, I want my inventor.
Speaker 2: Disruptors to be kind of crazy. That's their job, right.
Speaker 1: Attorney General Pambondi completely whiffed in handling the Epstein files,
Speaker 1: which she did shared Trump not to parton the most
Speaker 1: violent rioters. I'm just going to run through the list, but.
Speaker 2: Of all of me you mentioned a couple hours ago,
Speaker 2: and now I can't imagine any of them being in
Speaker 2: any different context that would make them any less quite amazing.
Speaker 2: I mean for her to come out and say I
Speaker 2: didn't think Trump should appall pardoned the most violent of
Speaker 2: the January sixth people, Let's why did she do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, last hour we were talking about how she says
Speaker 1: Trump has an alcoholics personality.
Speaker 2: We dealt with that a little bit.
Speaker 1: She grew up with an alcoholic dad, the famous Pat
Speaker 1: Summer all, the great sports caster.
Speaker 2: I'm going to get to the new part in just
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 1: Let's see Miss Wiles confided in mister Whipple in March
Speaker 1: that she told mister Trump that his presidency was not
Speaker 1: supposed to be a retribution tour and to quit focusing
Speaker 1: on that. We have a loose agreement that the score
Speaker 1: settling will end before the first ninety days are over,
Speaker 1: she said. Then, when it did not happen by August,
Speaker 1: she told mister Whipple that quote, I don't think he's
Speaker 1: on a retribution tour, but said that he was aiming
Speaker 1: at people who did bad things and coming after him.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: In some cases may look like retribution, and there may
Speaker 1: be an element of that from time to time.
Speaker 2: Who would blame him?
Speaker 1: Not me?
Speaker 2: Again, that's a I think that is enough. But here's
Speaker 2: let's say.
Speaker 1: Reach for comment Monday Evening by The New York Times,
Speaker 1: mis Wils played down mister Trump's personal motivations in the
Speaker 1: actions against his enemies. Let's see and then let's see,
Speaker 1: where's the the BONDI stuff's pretty critical. No evidence that
Speaker 1: Clinton went to Epstein Island. Oh all right, here's where
Speaker 1: it starts to get really interesting. She added that it
Speaker 1: was Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's idea to go interview
Speaker 1: Gilaine Maxwell in prison, and that the president did not
Speaker 1: know that she would be transferred to a minimum security
Speaker 1: prison camp. Quote, the president was ticked. The President was
Speaker 1: mighty unhappy. I don't know why they moved her. Neither
Speaker 1: does the president.
Speaker 2: WHOA, that is news. But wait a minute. The president
Speaker 2: of the United States can't pick.
Speaker 1: Up the phone and call the federal prison system and say, hey, dudes,
Speaker 1: what happened here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll call you back. Click. Come on. Why'd she
Speaker 2: get moved? Then? Did somebody move her thinking she had
Speaker 2: something on Trump and they're trying to protect him. I
Speaker 2: don't know, and she claims she doesn't know, nieda does
Speaker 2: the president. That's the biggest mystery in the whole Epstein thing.
Speaker 2: To me, seems pretty clear to me what happened, but
Speaker 2: nobody's admitted me. Were those pictures that came out last
Speaker 2: week and a nothing burger that the media once again
Speaker 2: traded like news.
Speaker 1: Yeah what oh? That was horrible. That was so nakedly
Speaker 1: just clickbait. But it's the business there, and they're not
Speaker 1: in the news business. They're in the clickbait business, remember that?
Speaker 1: And so so. Wiles described frustration with mister Muski's not
Speaker 1: odd duck as I think geniuses are you know it's
Speaker 1: not helpful, but he is his own person. And they
Speaker 1: were talking about when Elon shared a post sing the
Speaker 1: stalin MAO and Hitler didn't murder millions their public sector workers.
Speaker 2: Did, good Lord.
Speaker 1: Miss Wilds said quote, I think that's what he's microdosing.
Speaker 1: Asked what she meant, she said, he's an avowed ketamine user. Now,
Speaker 1: mister Musk's acknowledged trying kedemene a few years ago, but
Speaker 1: Dunn i'd reports of more recent use now. In the
Speaker 1: interview at The Times on Monday, Mis Wilds took issue
Speaker 1: with the quote attributed to her about the drug use.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous, she said. I wouldn't have said it,
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: But mister Whipple, contacted by The Times, played them the
Speaker 1: tape in which she can be heard saying it.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, some of this stuff she did say, and
Speaker 2: now that it's out in the newspaper, she's wishing she hadn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works. I don't know how
Speaker 2: people end up with, especially somebody like her. You're not
Speaker 2: like me, like just a regular person that doesn't understand
Speaker 2: how the world works. I mean you're weird in the
Speaker 2: shark tank and happened for years. You know what you
Speaker 2: can and can't say, and how it's going to be
Speaker 2: used in a book or an article. Here's a question
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 1: Was that the week when Trump was openly feuding with
Speaker 1: Elon she thought she could go ahead and say it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, so, I don't know much about the
Speaker 2: whole ketamine thing. I know it killed Chandler, But did
Speaker 2: people do it recreationally and fine? And is it a
Speaker 2: big deal? I mean, is it like being a matthewser
Speaker 2: or I don't think it's like that exactly. But that's
Speaker 2: my take has been a number of people do it
Speaker 2: in a healthy way. It's good for you.
Speaker 1: There are a handful of drugs ketamine, psilocybin, which is
Speaker 1: the active ingredient, mushrooms, and a couple of the things
Speaker 1: that people microdose. They say it makes them more relaxed
Speaker 1: and happy, but they're not high. They're just like barely
Speaker 1: barely barely well, they're less angsty. And evidently somebody said
Speaker 1: he was microdosing. But anyway, then this is to me
Speaker 1: just interesting, she offered. Uh. She was initially aghast about
Speaker 1: the cuts to us aid because I think that overall
Speaker 1: they do very good work. She offered no objection to
Speaker 1: mister Trump's saber rattling against Venezuela and bombing of boats
Speaker 1: carrying alleged drug traffickers. Quote he wants to keep on
Speaker 1: blowing up boats until Maduro cries uncle. And people way
Speaker 1: smarter and may say that he will, or may way
Speaker 1: smarter than me on that say he will.
Speaker 2: That's what I assumed was going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, She expressed misgivings about how the roundup of
Speaker 1: immigrants has been carried out. At times, I will conceide
Speaker 1: that we've got to look harder at our process for deportation.
Speaker 1: But if there's a question, I think our process has
Speaker 1: to lean toward a double check.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what stands out as a big deal here?
Speaker 2: Like I'm looking at our friend Tim Sanderfer, who we love,
Speaker 2: tweeted out, even in an atmosphere of NonStop jaw dropping insanity,
Speaker 2: this is something and links to this article. What is
Speaker 2: standing out to people as like real jaw dropping holy crap?
Speaker 2: Not wow, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a remarkable insider look at a
Speaker 1: White House before it leaves office, which is something. But
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this could fall under the
Speaker 1: umbrella of there are disagreements within the administration, then they
Speaker 1: come to a decision and proceed. And I mean, we
Speaker 1: want that right, We want people saying, well, that might
Speaker 1: be a bad idea, cause.
Speaker 2: Is there anybody that didn't think Elon was odd, or
Speaker 2: that Pam Bondi whiffed on Epstein, or that I don't
Speaker 2: know several of the.
Speaker 1: Other ones you mentioned, here's a story for you. Well, no,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. Your rhetorical question is absolutely right. Let's see.
Speaker 1: As for the potential successors to this point, mister Vance
Speaker 1: and minister Ruvio. She distinguished how each of them came
Speaker 1: around to supporting mister Trump after initially opposing him. Quote,
Speaker 1: Marco is not the sort of person that would violate
Speaker 1: his principles. He just won't, and so he had to
Speaker 1: get there. As for mister Vance, quote, his conversion came
Speaker 1: when he was running for the Senate, and I think
Speaker 1: his conversion was a little more sort of political.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought happened. I mean, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: her saying that out loud is big news in the
Speaker 2: high school gossip corridors of Washington.
Speaker 1: D C.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I thought that was pretty obvious.
Speaker 1: In the final note on this, mister Rubio, and it's funny,
Speaker 1: mister Rubio told mister Whipple, the author, that he has
Speaker 1: said publicly that quote.
Speaker 2: If JD.
Speaker 1: Vance runs for president, He's going to be our nominee
Speaker 1: and I'll be one of the first people to support him.
Speaker 1: Still listen to this from the New York Times. Still,
Speaker 1: the underlying tension came through when mister Vance posed for
Speaker 1: the magazine's photographer quote, I'll give you one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for every person you look. You may look really s
Speaker 1: compared to me, Vance joked, and a thousand If it's
Speaker 1: Marco that showed the underlying tension that Vance said, Hey,
Speaker 1: make everybody look crappier than me, and I'll give you
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars per thousand bucks. If it's Marko, hah,
Speaker 1: it shows underlying tension and not a former marine who's
Speaker 1: got a really good sense in humor.
Speaker 2: It's underlying tension. Sounds like a joke. Okay, I still,
Speaker 2: yet my jaw is not dropped to my jaws in
Speaker 2: its normal spot. Perhaps you have lockjawn. Have you been
Speaker 2: bitten by a hyena lately, or any jaws in its
Speaker 2: normal spot. I did step on a rusty nail the
Speaker 2: other day, my jaws, and it's a normal place. It
Speaker 2: has not dropped yet from any of those revelations. Well,
Speaker 2: that's I confused hydrophobia with the rabies with tetanus. My
Speaker 2: my apologies. I'm not a physician.

Speaker 2: story this week is what happened in Australia, just because
Speaker 2: it's in fitting with the ongoing conversation of what do
Speaker 2: we do about radical Islam around the world that seems
Speaker 2: to be reasserting itself and making its way into all
Speaker 2: kinds of countries wanting to take over. Talk more about
Speaker 2: that a little bit later, among other things.
Speaker 3: Atlanta resident Tanya Shepherd says it happened to her in
Speaker 3: the middle of the day last month, a thief stealing
Speaker 3: our packages on a busy street. Shepherd's packages were among
Speaker 3: the roughly two hundred and fifty thousand that are stolen
Speaker 3: nationwide every day. A study from home safety research company
Speaker 3: safe Wise estimated the total value of the items lost
Speaker 3: in the past year alone at nearly fifteen billion dollars.
Speaker 2: That's something two hundred and fifty thousand packages stolen from
Speaker 2: porches daily a quarter of a million a day. To me,
Speaker 2: it's like horse thievery hangings. You got to make the
Speaker 2: punishment so awful that people don't want to do it
Speaker 2: because it's so easy to do. Yeah, wow, that's something despicable.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm guessing that a lot of the boy Scouts
Speaker 2: I know are not going to steal stuff off of
Speaker 2: people's portes. That's my transition into raising money for Scouting
Speaker 2: this week and the idea that hey, it costs a
Speaker 2: couple hundred bucks, depending on your situation, to have your
Speaker 2: kid get into Scouts, into the Scouts, and so we're
Speaker 2: going to try to raise enough money that a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of kids who want to join the Scouts can.
Speaker 2: You don't have to come up with the money. Don't
Speaker 2: want the family not having the money being the difference
Speaker 2: between joining Scouts or not. And that's why we're raising
Speaker 2: money this week, hoping to raise one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: We'll hit you with a total here in a little bit,
Speaker 2: but so donations so far one hundred bucks from Elvis
Speaker 2: Presley Christmas albums. These are people with funny names for
Speaker 2: their their Jack's pocket fork in for fifty dollars. Thank
Speaker 2: you very much. Oh, thank you, fork. Yeah, keep wishing
Speaker 2: that pig good luck. Donated fifty bucks. Now, Katie, you
Speaker 2: do not know that story, Hey don't. So we're at
Speaker 2: a restaurant and we come out of the restaurant and
Speaker 2: outside on the street, they're barbecuing a pig on a spit.
Speaker 2: And if you've ever seen that, it just looks like
Speaker 2: a pig, you know, it looks like. I have a
Speaker 2: rough time looking at that. But yeah, so did my
Speaker 2: three and a half year old four year old son
Speaker 2: Sam at the time, because he was at that age
Speaker 2: where you know, animals are what you see in cartoons
Speaker 2: and movies and they're they're practically like people and all
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. Anyway, And and I wouldn't have
Speaker 2: wanted him to look at that, I mean, if I'd
Speaker 2: have known it was there. But we come out of
Speaker 2: the restaurant and right there in front of us is
Speaker 2: this pig on a spit being turned with an apple
Speaker 2: in its mouth, eyes open. I mean, it just looks
Speaker 2: like a living pig. I mean, they just started and
Speaker 2: we start walking and Sam gets tears in his eyes,
Speaker 2: and I can tell he's all chucked him. I said,
Speaker 2: what's up, buddy? He said, I want to go wish
Speaker 2: that pig good luck. Oh oh oh, oh my god.
Speaker 2: So that's what that is. Keep wishing that pig good luck.
Speaker 2: Donated fifty dollars. Jeez, I know that that's traumatized. Yeah
Speaker 2: that young Yes, yes, oh he was, he was. He
Speaker 2: was busted up over it. I want to go wish
Speaker 2: that pig good luck. I said, it's ty it's death
Speaker 2: as a hammer. There you go. That's good parenting right there. Uh,
Speaker 2: we got fifty bucks from stupid should hurt appreciate that,
Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of other people using their names
Speaker 2: and I won't mention them because I don't know if
Speaker 2: you want your name mentioned or not. Or you can
Speaker 2: donate anonymously. You go to armstrong and getty dot com.
Speaker 2: You click on the obvious thing for donating and it
Speaker 2: just takes you a couple of minutes. Let's get a total,
Speaker 2: gladys roll the drums on our way. I hope to
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. We're currently at forty and thirty
Speaker 2: seven dollars. That's fantastic.
Speaker 1: That's going to help out a lot of young American
Speaker 1: boys find their path in life. Love it, love it,
Speaker 1: love it, Yeah, and learn leadership skills. I've seen this
Speaker 1: in action.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just I could not be more impressed
Speaker 2: with how some of these kids are leaders as like fourteen, fifteen,
Speaker 2: sixteen year olds standing there in a group and saying,
Speaker 2: all right, who's got food? That's you, Jimmy, all right,
Speaker 2: what do you got tell me? And then there's a problem,
Speaker 2: how you gonna how are you gonna fix that? You
Speaker 2: got that taken care of? All right? And then go on,
Speaker 2: who's got tense? And just think they're for fifteen years old?
Speaker 2: I don't see that. I'd like, I keep saying, I
Speaker 2: see twenty eight year olds come into work that aren't
Speaker 2: there are like twelve year olds in the modern society.
Speaker 2: I would we need more grown ups, and I'm seeing
Speaker 2: a lot of that in scouting. So donate go to
Speaker 2: Armstrong and getty dot com.
Speaker 1: You're talking in the abstract about things other people have
Speaker 1: told you. Not the radio rants.
Speaker 2: Certain, No, No, I've not seen that at the radio
Speaker 2: station at allt through the years, repeated outrageous thought. Oh boy,
Speaker 2: uh Rich Lowry with a pretty good piece about this
Speaker 2: whole Islam immigration problem that we got around the country
Speaker 2: and this should be a pretty good yet another wake
Speaker 2: up call. What happened in Australia Australia over the weekend. No, NPR,
Speaker 2: guns aren't the issue. Gun laws are the issue. Fundamentalist
Speaker 2: Muslims move into countries and want to guild Jews or
Speaker 2: take over the government. That's the issue. Good Lord. Anyway,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that and other things on the way.
Speaker 2: Have you missed a segment of the podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 2: Getty on demand Armstrong and Getdy.
Speaker 4: The two shooters our fifty year old father, Sajid Akram
Speaker 4: and his twenty four year old son Navid. Sources say
Speaker 4: they pledged allegiance to ISIS and shouted Aluakba while opening fire.
Speaker 4: Authorities say two ISIS flags, weapons and IEDs were recovered
Speaker 4: near the scene.
Speaker 5: Resistant while he still can and before the right to
Speaker 5: complain is taken away from you, which will be the
Speaker 5: next thing he will be told you can't complain because
Speaker 5: you're Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the
Speaker 5: culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred,
Speaker 5: for example, or bigotry, whereas it's only the objection to
Speaker 5: the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion and
Speaker 5: watch out for these symptoms. They are not the symptoms
Speaker 5: of surrender.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the great Christopher Hitchins, who I wish was
Speaker 2: still alive to talk about what is going on in
Speaker 2: the world with radical Islam, which he was a warrior against.
Speaker 2: As you heard there in the news report, the two
Speaker 2: killers there in Australia pledged their allegiance to Isis and
Speaker 2: Christopher Hitchins identified many years ago that the Islamophobia was
Speaker 2: going to be thrown at you anytime you tried to
Speaker 2: point out the problems of radical Islam. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I kind of prefer the term fundamentalist Islam for reasons
Speaker 1: we could talk about.
Speaker 2: That's sure. That's the same thing Bill Mars always talking about.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm not Aslamophobic. I'm not afraid of them, No, No,
Speaker 2: I just don't like it as a political system for
Speaker 2: a number of reasons. And they want to kill me.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a radical interpretation of the Gospels
Speaker 1: to believe that you should forgive your enemies. An fundamental
Speaker 1: view of the Gospel, and a fundamentalist view of the
Speaker 1: Koran includes a great deal of bloodshed and slavery, and
Speaker 1: all sorts of things the Western world finds ab horrent.
Speaker 2: It's just true, so Rich Lowry National Review writing the
Speaker 2: Bondi Beach attack in Australia was shocking but not at
Speaker 2: all surprising. Some of the details were distinctive and idyllic
Speaker 2: spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field,
Speaker 2: a father son terror squad, But the basic picture of
Speaker 2: radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar.
Speaker 2: These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version
Speaker 2: of Islam is at its root hostile to Jews. Let's say,
Speaker 2: for the sake of the argument, there was a refugee
Speaker 2: flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those unitarians were
Speaker 2: antagonistic two traditional Christians, such so that they vandalized their businesses,
Speaker 2: harassed them in the streets, and launched massive protests in
Speaker 2: favor of overseas unitarian terror groups. In that case, we'd
Speaker 2: obviously cast a skeptical eye on unitarian immigration. Yet this
Speaker 2: hasn't been true of Muslim immigration. That is obviously true, and.
Speaker 1: Rich is such a reasonable, careful guy in his writings too.
Speaker 2: He's no Bombrucker, no sick pun intended. What is the
Speaker 2: reason for that? Does? Why does Islam get treated differently
Speaker 2: than maybe anything else you can think of, where if
Speaker 2: it had a violent wing, people would just accept that
Speaker 2: that was true and try to deal with it.
Speaker 1: I really think it's the xenophilia of the leftist forces
Speaker 1: in America and a bunch of other places. It is
Speaker 1: so fundamental to their identities that they hate themselves and
Speaker 1: embrace the foreign. I mean that that may be their
Speaker 1: commandment number one, be contemptuous of your own culture and
Speaker 1: be generous or overlay forgiving in my mind, to other cultures.
Speaker 2: And I think that's a lot of it.
Speaker 1: They can't bring themselves to say, our culture, our laws,
Speaker 1: our constitution are not only better than this other way
Speaker 1: of approaching life, that other way of life is really sick.
Speaker 1: They can't bring themselves to say that. If you know,
Speaker 1: if it's hard for a rational human being to picture
Speaker 1: being that completely committed to.
Speaker 2: A mindset, you know, a lot of it is that. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Some of it is fear, physical fear, Yes that if
Speaker 2: I get on the wrong side of these people, they'll
Speaker 2: kill me. Yes, true, which is you know, the Heckler's veto,
Speaker 2: a violent version of the Heckler's veto right. And then
Speaker 2: there's like the Prime Minister of Australia. It reminds me
Speaker 2: a lot of a bunch of European leaders, including Britain,
Speaker 2: are a great granddaddy, which is absolutely twisting itself into knots.
Speaker 2: For this very reason, there is a point of view that, oh,
Speaker 2: my gosh, we allowed this much immigration from Muslim countries.
Speaker 2: We have a certain percentage of those folks who are fundamentalists.
Speaker 2: We need to minimize conflict at all times. We need
Speaker 2: to not talk about a division or that we reject
Speaker 2: them or they reject us. We've got to just be
Speaker 2: quiet and see if this goes away. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. They're just they're so afraid of conflict. They
Speaker 2: think backing off of our principles or recognizing the truth
Speaker 2: will minimize conflict, and they're absolutely wrong. It just delays it. Well,
Speaker 2: we had to take a we got suspended off the
Speaker 2: radio quite a few years back when I made a
Speaker 2: comment about drawing a picture of Muhammad.
Speaker 1: How did that was?
Speaker 2: Why was that in the news at the time.
Speaker 1: I think it was in the wake of the Charlie
Speaker 1: Ebdoh massacre, and there was somebody somewhere was going to
Speaker 1: have a festival where you could I can't remember the particulars,
Speaker 1: but and.
Speaker 2: I believe I claimed I drew a picture of Muhammad
Speaker 2: and then tore it up or something like that. Anyway,
Speaker 2: we got suspended for a while because that is just
Speaker 2: something you cannot do. Now, you could draw, you can
Speaker 2: get you can get a picture of Jesus and whiz
Speaker 2: on it and people will applaud and pheim and you'll
Speaker 2: get in no trouble whatsoever. Or any other religion. And
Speaker 2: I always use the example of you make fun of
Speaker 2: Mormons and you got a hit Broadway show, but nobody
Speaker 2: may going to make fun of Muslims at all. Combination
Speaker 2: of political correctness and you're just playing afraid mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Mormons made the steak of being nice, easygoing people who
Speaker 2: will just you know, turn the other cheek right and
Speaker 2: let you make fun of them and continue to do
Speaker 2: what they do. That the idea that you can't draw
Speaker 2: a picture of Muhammad when you're not a Muslim, because
Speaker 2: it would just be too You're in you're inviting, you
Speaker 2: revoked it. If there's any violence you caused it because
Speaker 2: you provoked. It is insane. It's anti Enlightenment, right, it is.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. In Britain recently you've heard
Speaker 1: about this. Probably a guy burned a Koran and a
Speaker 1: Muslim man stabbed him for it. The burning got a
Speaker 1: stiffer sentence than the stabbing. Yeah, and so all this
Speaker 1: fits together. The retreating, backing down to fundamentalist Islam is
Speaker 1: led to this, and it's getting worse, not better, right right.
Speaker 1: I just read a piece from Julie Sago, who's an
Speaker 1: Australian Jew. She writes, of all the difficult emotions I've
Speaker 1: been forced to grapple with in the hour since two gunmen,
Speaker 1: she describes it carried out a massacre of Jews at
Speaker 1: Sydney's Bondai Beach. The most complicated is a bitter, dark
Speaker 1: sense of vindication. Now do you believe us? I imagine
Speaker 1: screaming at Australia's progressive intelligentsia, political and media class. Do
Speaker 1: you believe Jew hatred is out of control? After the
Speaker 1: most lethal terror attack on the nation soil has claimed
Speaker 1: at least sixteen lives. And she goes into the victims,
Speaker 1: including a beautiful little girl. They have been saying for
Speaker 1: a yelling for years now, since October seventh. The Hamas
Speaker 1: attacks of October seventh unleashed anti jew hatred around the world,
Speaker 1: and the progressive governments of the West have permitted it,
Speaker 1: and the Jewish people have been begging for protection or
Speaker 1: at least attention to the issue and not getting it.
Speaker 2: I have no reason to criticize any nonviolent religion in
Speaker 2: your practice of it at all. If you're a devout
Speaker 2: Muslim and that's your thing, but you don't want to
Speaker 2: force everybody else into it, uh finds me. I don't care.
Speaker 2: That's cool, good for you. I'm pro organized religion and
Speaker 2: I would never want to make fun of it to
Speaker 2: you or criticize you for it.
Speaker 6: But you know, the.
Speaker 2: Everything changes. If you're trying to force everybody else into
Speaker 2: a certain lifestyle, that's a completely different.
Speaker 1: Thing, right right, And everybody knows from the cry the
Speaker 1: chant from the river to the sea, Palestine will be
Speaker 1: free or death, death to the IDF or globalize the
Speaker 1: Intofada are specific threats against Jews. But in Europe, if
Speaker 1: you say something even mildly critical of Islam, you'll be arrested.
Speaker 2: For your tweet.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely a double standard, because the standard is did
Speaker 1: you give offense? And if you have one group that
Speaker 1: is by which is the embodiment of Western civilization saying
Speaker 1: I don't want you, I don't appreciate your criticizing me,
Speaker 1: but you get to in fact, I cherish your right
Speaker 1: to criticize my politics, my religion, my economy, whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Accept that. In fact I embrace it.
Speaker 1: And then on the other side, you have a group
Speaker 1: that says if you criticize me, I will kill you,
Speaker 1: I will hurt you, and the government, the Western government
Speaker 1: stands up and says, well, that offended them. So you
Speaker 1: can't say that, as you said, Jack, that's abandoning the
Speaker 1: lessons of the Enlightenment. I mean, it's beyond perverse. It's well,
Speaker 1: it's suicidal. It's quite quite literally suicidal.
Speaker 2: Have you. I don't think I have ever heard anybody
Speaker 2: make that point about the uh what was that making
Speaker 2: fun of the Mormons Broadway show? It played here in
Speaker 2: Sacramento recently. Yeah, Book of Mormon, Book of Mormon. I've no,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever heard anybody else make
Speaker 2: that point. And it's not to not have the Book
Speaker 2: of Mormon musical.
Speaker 1: It's just a.
Speaker 2: Come on now, you can't claim that anybody who mocks
Speaker 2: Islam brings violence upon themselves. They caused it and make
Speaker 2: fun of Mormons like that and make those make those
Speaker 2: fit in a worldview to me, you're being hypocritical.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's very much like saying a woman can
Speaker 1: say something to her spouse unless he will beat her
Speaker 1: for it. I mean, so if you're gonna pick a
Speaker 1: religion to make fun of it, and I'm sorry, can
Speaker 1: we spend a second half second on that. You have
Speaker 1: granted the individual husband the right to either beat his
Speaker 1: wife or not beat his wife, depending on whether it
Speaker 1: pissed him off. That's the opposite of equal protection of
Speaker 1: their law. It's ob scene if.
Speaker 2: You're going to pick a religion and then the most
Speaker 2: extreme version of it to mock. Is there anything you
Speaker 2: could go do more with than fundamentalist Islam and the
Speaker 2: fact that you don't let women show their skin, among
Speaker 2: other things, throw gay people off the top of buildings.
Speaker 2: Can't write a musical about that that you could come
Speaker 2: up with some things to you know, poke at. It's
Speaker 2: too dangerous.
Speaker 1: It's a difference between a religion of turning the other
Speaker 1: cheek and a religion of kill those.
Speaker 2: Who oppose us. That's wild. I'd say that's one word
Speaker 2: for it. Yeah.

Speaker 2: It's good to be right. It is good to be right.
Speaker 2: I'm seldom right. I have to only assume that it
Speaker 2: feels good to be right. I'm usually wrong, kind of
Speaker 2: used to it, so I don't know how bad it feels.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about fundamentalist Islam. And I was recently
Speaker 1: reminded of this. The expansion of Islam is considered the
Speaker 1: proof of its truth, and the success of Islam over
Speaker 1: the centuries has been proof of the righteousness of the religion,
Speaker 1: and so any setback, any loss of territory, particularly in
Speaker 1: the Middle East, you know, the birthplace of Islam, is
Speaker 1: considered a horrific, horrific loss, setback, insult, threat to the
Speaker 1: very soul of humanity, because remember, Mohammad was the seal
Speaker 1: of the Prophet's, the last prophet, and they cannot accept that,
Speaker 1: they never will accept it. There will never be a
Speaker 1: two state solution. There will only be waiting till they
Speaker 1: can snuff the Jews.
Speaker 2: That's reality I've seen pieces recently in publications or heard
Speaker 2: them on NPR or wherever about Christian nationalism, how scary
Speaker 2: that is for the country, or all the young men
Speaker 2: that are joining the Orthodox Church, how scary that might
Speaker 2: be become. Where's your piece about fundamentalist Islam and how
Speaker 2: scary that is and how it's a problem. Never I've
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever read one in a
Speaker 2: New York Times or heard it on beer or an
Speaker 2: NPR or anything like that. They're rare, for sure, ever
Speaker 2: heard one? And this shooting in Australia NPR every day
Speaker 2: it's all about guns and gun laws. You haven't talked
Speaker 2: about extremist Muslims at.
Speaker 1: All, as far as I know, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about useful idiots, my god.
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on any of that? Text line four one
Speaker 2: five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 6: Police in Florida arrested two men and a woman a
Speaker 6: good luck guessing which is which after they were discovered
Speaker 6: having drunken sex and a Win Dixie parking lot. The
Speaker 6: trio was immediately transported to a waffle House parking.
Speaker 2: Lot, so they had pictures up there obviously, and the
Speaker 2: you know, good luck guessing which is which? It was.
Speaker 2: It was not easy to tell which which was the
Speaker 2: woman with the two dudes there having sex in the
Speaker 2: parking lot there of the the diner probably figured it
Speaker 2: out eventually, I would imagine. I assume when they set
Speaker 2: out at the beginning they had an idea. I don't know.
Speaker 2: So we got people donating to boy Scouts, some funny names.
Speaker 2: We'll do a total maybe an hour. Four Dead Flowers
Speaker 2: fan club president though in for twenty five bucks. That's jokes,
Speaker 2: old man. Thanks d Effors FC president guy president. There
Speaker 2: you go, early dinner donated fifty bucks. Appreciate that glad
Speaker 2: that lives on. And my favorite was an early dinner
Speaker 2: and my favorite twenty five bucks from Michelangelo's toe. Hey,
Speaker 2: thank you. Wow, that's odd. Michelangelo's diabetes toe. How's that going, Michael? Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm doing good now, you seem to me. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm hanging in there. How are you doing? In terms
Speaker 2: of eating the way you're supposed to eat? Is a
Speaker 2: guy with diabetes.
Speaker 7: Overall pretty good? But I slip sometimes Sometimes you just
Speaker 7: get that craving for something sweet. But if I eat
Speaker 7: something sweet, I run it off, is what I do.
Speaker 1: Have you talked to your doctors about like the artificial
Speaker 1: sweetener stuff and all. I mean, because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff that. I mean, it's sweet to the point
Speaker 1: of that it's just disgusting, but it has no sugar
Speaker 1: in it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I need to explore more sugar free options.
Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, real stuff. How strict are you supposed
Speaker 2: to be? Well?
Speaker 6: For me, I'm not that bad.
Speaker 7: I mean some people have it's much worse. Everybody's a
Speaker 7: little bit different. But I'm able to control it. I
Speaker 7: have a little meter on my skin that uh tells
Speaker 7: me where I'm at, and I just kind of followed
Speaker 7: the meter.
Speaker 2: But if your wife hadn't pushed you go to the
Speaker 2: doctor when she noticed something wrong with your toe, yeah,
Speaker 2: you could have lost your foot, your leg.
Speaker 7: I I really don't know how bad it would have gotten.
Speaker 7: But yeah, if you don't treat it, it can get
Speaker 7: really bad. You can lose limbs and toes and things
Speaker 7: like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, is this Katie?
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 2: I do want to give Michael credit. When he was
Speaker 2: leaving the gym yesterday, there was an entire table of
Speaker 2: cookies and I saw it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw yeah, But seriously, whose idea was
Speaker 1: it to Hey, let's set up a couple of tables.
Speaker 2: And just load it with treats. Here at the gym,
Speaker 2: what was that committee meeting? Like, I don't know. The
Speaker 2: new Kevin Hart comedy special that's on Netflix that I
Speaker 2: watch here today's pretty dang funny. But anyway, he was
Speaker 2: talking about how he didn't he was at a big gathering,
Speaker 2: family gathering, and he didn't order desert at the restaurant.
Speaker 2: And one of his uncles was like, wow, oh, you're
Speaker 2: too big for dessert to mister Hollywood, won't eat desert
Speaker 2: with those everything like that, And Kevin Hart said, look
Speaker 2: under the table, all I see is a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of left feet. Oh my god. We don't know how
Speaker 2: this family is. I guess in the black community, particularly.
Speaker 2: He says in his comedy special, it's a diabetes is
Speaker 2: a big problem. Yeah, that's true, losing your foot. Good lord,
Speaker 2: what's a dark joke. Everybody laughed, Wow, got big laughs.
Speaker 2: This is might get laughs from you. So Katie had
Speaker 2: the story earlier of moms who were getting involved in
Speaker 2: their kids bumble profiles because they're twenty something or thirty somethings,
Speaker 2: aren't married yet and they're thinking maybe they could spruce
Speaker 2: it up for him. We got this text. My mom
Speaker 2: helped me with my profile. Is she wanted something more
Speaker 2: positive than single divorced dad. That's only hope. As you're
Speaker 2: shreking me is remember shrekking? Is shreking is still a thing?
Speaker 2: Or was there actually a thing? Dating someone? For women
Speaker 2: dating a dude you know has been which is a
Speaker 2: horrible term, because they'll be nicer to you.
Speaker 1: They'll worship you in a desperate attempt to hold onto you. Yes,
Speaker 1: they'll treat you better. That's Shrek and you're dating Shrek
Speaker 1: because they'll treat you better.
Speaker 2: I don't like humans. Good good luck with your life.
