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 Jettie and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: The President's been posting some images of Leader Jefferies and
Speaker 3: Senator Schumer. You've said that you're interested in good faith
Speaker 3: negotiations with these leaders, But you know what message does
Speaker 3: that send? Is it helpful to post pictures of Leader
Speaker 3: Jefferies and sombrero if you're trying to have good faith
Speaker 3: talks with him?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: I think it's funny. The President's joking and we're having
Speaker 5: a good time. You can negotiate in good faith while
Speaker 5: also poking a little bit of fun at some of
Speaker 5: the absurdities of the Democrats' positions, and even you know,
Speaker 5: poking some fun at the absurdity of the Democrats themselves
Speaker 5: and telling Jeffries right now.
Speaker 4: I like, I just like the reporter asking the question,
Speaker 4: is it helpful to post pictures of Hakeem Jeffreys and
Speaker 4: a sombre?
Speaker 2: What a funny question with.
Speaker 1: That serious vine exactly negotiating just asn't aside. JD e
Speaker 1: Vance rama Manuel, that's your twenty twenty eight race boy.
Speaker 2: That'll be some good debating right there.
Speaker 1: Ram's got an editorial out today in the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal and it's probably the other places too, in one
Speaker 1: version or another. And it's about the state of education
Speaker 1: in America, and it's like I co wrote it. It's
Speaker 1: it's very common sense. A moderate democraty he sees steering
Speaker 1: hard in that direction.
Speaker 2: Should be interesting to watch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want we don't have to go too
Speaker 4: far down this road right now. But Rama Manuel is
Speaker 4: a Democrat who's got the guts and I think the
Speaker 4: wisdom to just stiff farm that AOC crowd. I don't
Speaker 4: care what you think. There aren't enough for you to
Speaker 4: have an effect on me.
Speaker 1: And he's more policies don't work, and he has the
Speaker 1: balls to say it well, and.
Speaker 2: He just realizes that they're not near as big.
Speaker 1: A deal as right. And he is, like JD. Vance,
Speaker 1: a very good verbal swordsman, very skilled. So again, cut
Speaker 1: off his fings blnny of time to look forward to
Speaker 1: that though, cut off his finger working at Army's.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite part of the Rama manual story. Hey,
Speaker 2: he goes full in when he's going to do a job.
Speaker 4: Yeah, huh, this is getting a fair amount of attention.
Speaker 4: I suppose we should pile on investigative reporting uncovering that
Speaker 4: Biden was using note carbs with names and photos of
Speaker 4: Democrats that he knows whenever he was going to do
Speaker 4: a public event. So it's it's perfectly common to you know,
Speaker 4: I would love if we had, you know, the money,
Speaker 4: to have an advanced team to do this for us.
Speaker 4: If you're going to walk into a room and there's
Speaker 4: going to be some people that you don't necessarily know,
Speaker 4: and you got a little card in your hand that
Speaker 4: says it's Jim Johnson from you know, Home Gardening, and
Speaker 4: you met him last year at the Christmas party.
Speaker 2: And I'd look at that and think, oh yeah, ah yeah,
Speaker 2: remember the Christmas party. That was a good time. Huh.
Speaker 1: And he grew up like four towns away from you.
Speaker 1: You talked about that last year. That'd be super healthful.
Speaker 4: So not only did Joe Biden have those cards for
Speaker 4: people he didn't know, he had them for people he
Speaker 4: did know, including the name and photo of say, former
Speaker 4: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2: That's what it's set on the cord. Actually, what's set
Speaker 2: on the card? I said, Hey, esther I.
Speaker 1: Mean there's people you know, then there's household name, right,
Speaker 1: how about Barack Obama?
Speaker 2: Could he recognize him?
Speaker 4: Five different palm cards, which are hand sized note cards
Speaker 4: frequently used by politicians for quick reminders or talking points
Speaker 4: during public events, especially when on the campaign trail, were
Speaker 4: uncovered admitted an investigation of the National Archive documents at something.
Speaker 2: This had to go into the National.
Speaker 4: Archives because in theory, we're supposed to save every shred
Speaker 4: of paper that a president ever has for anything is
Speaker 4: supposed to go into their presidential library. And yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: surprised somebody didn't destroy these. Beyond the scenes, I can
Speaker 4: barely keep up with them.
Speaker 2: Is this? This is the best Joe Biden ever? You
Speaker 2: don't like it?
Speaker 3: Have you?
Speaker 4: It's unclear if Biden actually relied on these cards during
Speaker 4: the various public events. That doesn't really matter. That doesn't
Speaker 4: really matter the fact that his people thought that he
Speaker 4: needed to. Clinton was among a handful of Americans who
Speaker 4: received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and so he was
Speaker 4: doing that little you know, get together with all the
Speaker 4: people lined up, and it had to palm cards for
Speaker 4: different people that I'm sure he needed the palm card for,
Speaker 4: and that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Where's Jackie, Dude, Jackie, you're here? Where's Jackie?
Speaker 4: But one of that she was dead and he had
Speaker 4: talked with Scott sir, and she he had talked to
Speaker 4: her husband like a week before or something like that. Uh,
Speaker 4: that story, you remember. One of the palm cards obtained
Speaker 4: reads Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients and was followed by
Speaker 4: photos and short biographies of the recipients, including a photo
Speaker 4: of Hillary Clinton and a short note detailing she was
Speaker 4: the secretary of State in the Obama and Biden administration.
Speaker 4: Huh secretary of state when you were vice president?
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, Hillary right.
Speaker 4: Another note card for a recipient included a photo of
Speaker 4: Hollywood actor Denzel Washington, who also received the award, saying
Speaker 4: he's a famous actor.
Speaker 1: It set on the card, Yes he is thereby making
Speaker 1: us wonder why you need the car, you know, speaking
Speaker 1: to Hillary. It might have been on Brett Paar last night,
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but they're shown Hillary back in the
Speaker 1: day angrily stating that government healthcare money should absolutely not
Speaker 1: go to illegal immigrants because that'llllure even more people across
Speaker 1: the border. It's the last thing we ought to do,
Speaker 1: said the Democrat who whose policies are now unrecognizable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if we've had this clip this week,
Speaker 4: we probably ought to get it.
Speaker 2: If we didn't.
Speaker 4: Rocana, congress Person of California, kind of slipped over the
Speaker 4: weekend in one of the talk shows and basically said, yes,
Speaker 4: this would allow some taxpayer money to go to healthcare
Speaker 4: for illegals. But it's a tiny amount of money in
Speaker 4: the overall scheme of things, So it's to make that
Speaker 4: the hang up is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, okay, so vote in the shutdown then fine.
Speaker 4: It's a it's the it's not the amount of money necessarily,
Speaker 4: it's the fact that we're doing it, and it always
Speaker 4: these things always grow.
Speaker 2: That's the prime. Well, and the funny part of his
Speaker 2: argument is that.
Speaker 1: Spending the money is no big deal, So why are
Speaker 1: you why is.
Speaker 2: The comment shutdown? All right? Then? Roe?
Speaker 1: Not spending the money is no big deal either, right
Speaker 1: as well?
Speaker 2: So what are we doing here? Excellent point. Bit y'
Speaker 2: all know what's happening.
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is gonna get primaried by AOC, so he
Speaker 1: wants the left to see him.
Speaker 2: I'm a fighter, I'm an eighty year old fighter.
Speaker 4: Well, anybody who listened to NPR yesterday speaking of that
Speaker 4: sort of argument. NPR yesterday constantly throughout this is the
Speaker 4: first day an NPR's history that we've had to broadcast
Speaker 4: without federal funding, so.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And exactly, and the argument was always it's not that
Speaker 1: much money that we receive.
Speaker 2: Okay, then don't get it. If it doesn't matter that much,
Speaker 2: how about we just stop it, which we did. What
Speaker 2: do we talk to You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 4: You can't claim it's really not that important to us,
Speaker 4: so it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, then let's shut it off.
Speaker 1: And it is a disaster that threatens all that is
Speaker 1: holy that that money has been without.
Speaker 4: But their promos and NPR also included a lot of
Speaker 4: comments like critics claim NPR is a partisan news outfit,
Speaker 4: which NPR says is not true and we have seen
Speaker 4: no evidence of and like.
Speaker 2: Oh are you staying corrected? Hilarious, very very hilarious.
Speaker 4: And how it's gonna be They're going to lead to
Speaker 4: layoffs and NPR stations. Ooh, now you might not know
Speaker 4: this since you're not in the radio industry. But the
Speaker 4: radio industry has been devastated with layoffs over the last
Speaker 4: twenty years, but they continue year by year by year
Speaker 4: because of the changing media structure. So the fact that
Speaker 4: NPR would have to lay off some people, ooh, that
Speaker 4: really really hurts. So many people have left radio stations
Speaker 4: I've worked for in my lifetime to go to NPR
Speaker 4: because they pay so much more. The radio station that
Speaker 4: doesn't need advertisers because they get tax money, it pays
Speaker 4: a lot more. How are you support I'm supposed to
Speaker 4: open a radio station as a tax paying citizen and
Speaker 4: compete with the government radio station for talent. That's fantastic, right, right,
Speaker 4: And they never downsize their local radio ranch might have
Speaker 4: gone from one hundred and twenty employees to twenty in
Speaker 4: the last decade legitimately, but NPR has to lay off
Speaker 4: one or two people conceivably, and they act like it's
Speaker 4: the apocalypse. Please, this is a first day in NPR's
Speaker 4: history of broadcasting without federal funding.
Speaker 2: But we will continue to try to bring you the truth.
Speaker 4: And then they run all this promost with listeners calling
Speaker 4: in saying I'm just glad that there's somebody out there
Speaker 4: that doesn't have any spin or lies, someplace I can
Speaker 4: go to get the real story.
Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding me. You're fool absolute fool.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 2: That reminds me a little later on the show.
Speaker 1: Really interesting study of media bubbles in what they look like.
Speaker 2: It's a Charlie Kirk thing.
Speaker 1: It's we're gonna stand back like Jane Goodall did and
Speaker 1: observe the chimps in their natural.
Speaker 2: Habitat wow, describe their behaviors.
Speaker 4: Nice job of working in a celebrity death, although she
Speaker 4: kind of did what what I was talking about with
Speaker 4: Robert Redford. She outlived her her peak moment to be
Speaker 4: to get the real, the real good treatment from your death.
Speaker 2: So I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: So what do you suggest she do hurt herself off
Speaker 1: a cliffl She's in her prime.
Speaker 2: No, but if you get.
Speaker 4: Better media, if you live long enough, people don't remember
Speaker 4: your big moment, which was like in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, she's a pretty big presence on the scene
Speaker 1: for a long time. Again, this anti Jane Goodall rhetoric,
Speaker 1: where does it come from? What did what happened?
Speaker 2: Did she throw her poo at you? Or something. Chimplanke,
Speaker 2: I don't understand Again.
Speaker 4: When the news broke yesterday, I thought the monkeys finally
Speaker 4: got to her, But that's not happened.

Speaker 4: for the last forty years. She has a fake degree.
Speaker 4: People call her doctor for some reason. That other guy,
Speaker 4: the other guy with the crooked jaw, his hunter Biden
Speaker 4: is your crack addicted son. It's caused you many problems
Speaker 4: throughout the years. Just have this little note card in
Speaker 4: case you need it. Wow, we got more on the way.
Speaker 4: Stay here from Mason Miller. About as fast as a
Speaker 4: human being has ever thrown a baseball.
Speaker 2: And look it's not just a veloci. I mean one
Speaker 2: don't force. But look at the placement of it. I
Speaker 2: mean you couldn't walk up there. It any better than
Speaker 2: that one oh four.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, that's fastest pitch of the year in Padre's
Speaker 4: game last night.
Speaker 2: And got to move the mound back.
Speaker 4: Come on, all the series, except for Dodgers had gone
Speaker 4: to Game three winner go home today. That's exciting baseball.
Speaker 2: One O four.
Speaker 4: So what I thought was interesting about that, I've never
Speaker 4: I have no idea what that would look like standing
Speaker 4: at the plate one hundred and four mile an hour fastball,
Speaker 4: but it looked to me like just observing it, it
Speaker 4: looked faster than like the ninety eight mile an hour fastball.
Speaker 4: It's like it looked faster just watching it on TV. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so I'm wondering, wow, can you even see anything?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: You see, it leaves hand and your brain can predict
Speaker 1: where it's going more or less, and you start your swing.
Speaker 1: But that's again and the I remember talking about this
Speaker 1: months ago, but the number of pitches over one hundred
Speaker 1: miles per hour went from like seven five years ago
Speaker 1: to one hundred and seventy five. Really, guys are just
Speaker 1: throwing harder and harder, and they're ruining their arms and
Speaker 1: then getting Tommy John surgery. But uh, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know where baseball goes. I mean because at
Speaker 1: the point if somebody starts throwing at one ten, well
Speaker 1: what are we even doing here? I mean, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to send guys up to a bat with those
Speaker 1: You remember the big orange bat that little kids play with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bats are gonna be have to shape like
Speaker 4: that to be able to hit the ball. Or catchers
Speaker 4: refuse to catch the ball.
Speaker 2: Here, you're killing me. Uh oh yeah yeah, nomps please.
Speaker 4: Well, they're talking about the game last night, and this
Speaker 4: is getting a little sports see beut a game last night.
Speaker 2: The average.
Speaker 4: National League batting average this year was two forty five,
Speaker 4: which is really low historically. Like the pitchers are, you know,
Speaker 4: are winning the day right now? Your average Major league
Speaker 4: hitter HiT's two forty five. Yeah, it's usually been hard
Speaker 4: enough offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I want to hear charming Jane Goodall tail
Speaker 2: that's the monkey lady that died yesterday.
Speaker 1: They're chimps or apes. But I'm sat along by Mike
Speaker 1: the attorney from Chicago. I love this and I remember
Speaker 1: this happening at the time. Do you remember when the
Speaker 1: brilliant Far Side comic was Yeah, it was current and
Speaker 1: Gary Larson just everybody loved the Far Side. Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Anyway, one of the Far Side comics was
Speaker 1: a lady chimp and a male chimp, and the lady
Speaker 1: looks at the mail chimp and sees a blonde hair
Speaker 1: on him and says, you've been tramping around with that
Speaker 1: Jane Goodall, haven't you well? And it was hilarious, but
Speaker 1: the Jane Goodall Foundation went ape poo over it.
Speaker 2: Really that's right.
Speaker 1: But then she herself weighed in and said, no, that's hilarious,
Speaker 1: and Gary Larson went to visit her sanctuary and donated
Speaker 1: to her foundation. Goodness, but yeah, yeah, yeah, So organizations
Speaker 1: in general, bureaucracies.
Speaker 2: Are are just they're not nice people, you know.
Speaker 4: So you gotta admit I've never paid attention to the
Speaker 4: Jane Goodall story. I knew she did something with almost gosh,
Speaker 4: I have since I was a little kid. Well, good
Speaker 4: then you're the perfect person to ask. I knew she
Speaker 4: did something with monkeys, and then they made a movie
Speaker 4: about it apes with Yes, Meryl Street played her in
Speaker 4: the movie, and that was a really big deal. Gorillas
Speaker 4: in the miss. So what did Jane Goodall do that
Speaker 4: made her famous? She was, And interestingly, she was not
Speaker 4: a trained scientist. She was an employee of a scientist
Speaker 4: who wanted some observations and data, and so he sent
Speaker 4: her and her mom out into the mountains of Uganda.
Speaker 4: I think it was one of your African countries that
Speaker 4: are you know, rich with chimps anyway, just to see
Speaker 4: if she could observe their behavior in the wild. And
Speaker 4: so she went out there and camped for weeks and
Speaker 4: weeks and weeks before she ever encountered any of them,
Speaker 4: but then finally figured.
Speaker 2: Out where they hung out.
Speaker 1: They slowly but surely got used to her presence and
Speaker 1: she was the first person to really observe chimpanzees in
Speaker 1: the wild and how they behave, and made some amazing
Speaker 1: discoveries like got video of a chimp stripping a stick
Speaker 1: of leaves and then sticking it down into a termite hole.
Speaker 1: The termites would latch onto it, he'd lift it up
Speaker 1: and eat them. And until that moment, all scientists have
Speaker 1: been saying humans are the only animal that crafts and
Speaker 1: uses tools. Oh really, yeah, wow, Well that is a
Speaker 1: big breakthrough. Yeah, And she showed the way they nurtured
Speaker 1: their young, informed alliances and rivalries and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: And she never got attacked or anything. She didn't show
Speaker 4: up with a different haircut and get ripped to pieces.
Speaker 4: Well no, no, indeed, there are a couple of tense
Speaker 4: moments in her career. So really, because those things will
Speaker 4: rip off your arm. They'll rip off your arm.
Speaker 2: And beat you to death with a bloody stump. It
Speaker 2: never happened to her.
Speaker 4: I have a chip sanctuary near where I live, and
Speaker 4: I know people that have worked there who would they
Speaker 4: quit because it was not what they thought it was
Speaker 4: going to be.
Speaker 2: It is quite dangerous.
Speaker 1: And you know, I was watching some of the archival
Speaker 1: footage of her, and with all due respect and the
Speaker 1: work she did and everything, there was a teeny tiny
Speaker 1: little bit of Grizzly Man to it. You remember that
Speaker 1: Timothy Treadway character who thought he was communicating with the
Speaker 1: and communing with the grizzlies and lived among them, and
Speaker 1: there's a documentary about him, and he and his girlfriend
Speaker 1: ended up getting eaten.
Speaker 2: She had a little bit of that. You're saying, Nah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: She was much more serious and much less crazy. She
Speaker 1: was very very serious about studying chimp behavior. But she
Speaker 1: lived among them and would touch them, and they would
Speaker 1: touch her, and she kind of became an athorary chimp.
Speaker 1: But thank god, nothing bad ever apped. Good lord, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be a much different story. And she died
Speaker 1: in her nineties yesterday, and good for her. You know,
Speaker 1: some scientists say her presence among them altered their behavior,
Speaker 1: so it's not a really pristine study.
Speaker 2: But she did something.
Speaker 4: Bore no doubt that they invented the stick and the
Speaker 4: stick down the hold to eat termites because she was there.
Speaker 2: Though. Hey, there's a hot blonde chick. Somebody do something
Speaker 2: clever cool.
Speaker 4: I want to impress her, right, maybe I'll stick the
Speaker 4: stick down us all. Trump just said something funny about
Speaker 4: the shutdown, among other things on.
Speaker 2: The web Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it.
Speaker 2: Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
Speaker 6: We have no voters left because of all of our
Speaker 6: woke trans voting. Not even black people want to vote
Speaker 6: for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need
Speaker 6: new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens
Speaker 6: free healthcare, we might be able to get them on
Speaker 6: our side so they can vote for us.
Speaker 2: That is not actually Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 4: That is an ai voice of the Democratic leader of
Speaker 4: the Senate. And that was not actually Donald Trump in
Speaker 4: a sombrero behind him playing the trumpet.
Speaker 2: I was gonna praise Schumer for his candor.
Speaker 4: Keem Jeffreys was not actually wearing a sombrero with a big,
Speaker 4: giant black mustache. Also, jd Vance did not actually say this, okay.
Speaker 7: As do as mucco simply as Democrat Party as mucho ritardo, Okay,
Speaker 7: mucho ritardo, especially Hakimo Jeffries, eyel chuck O Schumer, they
Speaker 7: are extra ritardo, so el presidente. And I cannot negotiate
Speaker 7: with these Democrat ritardos.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no, I
Speaker 1: don't like that term.
Speaker 2: Start otherwise, that was.
Speaker 4: Very funny, started earlier in the week with that just
Speaker 4: Schumer saying this about the Democrats and then there's kind
Speaker 4: of the subtle ish sombrero and mustache. And it's grown
Speaker 4: since then and do this all subtenly has been lost
Speaker 4: and it's just completely out of control.
Speaker 1: Well, and I love that reporter before. Is it helpful
Speaker 1: to post sombrero pictures when you're attempting to negotia?
Speaker 2: Oh come on.
Speaker 4: So here's Hakeen Jeffries, a leader of the Democrats in
Speaker 4: the House.
Speaker 2: He just reacting to the videos.
Speaker 8: It's a disgusting video and we're going to continue to
Speaker 8: make clear bigotry will get you nowhere, we are fighting
Speaker 8: to protect the healthcare of the American people in the
Speaker 8: face of an unprecedented Republican all on all the things.
Speaker 4: There the disgusting video, and here here's the reporter thing
Speaker 4: Joe was mentioning.
Speaker 3: The president's been posting some images of Leader Jeffries and
Speaker 3: Sandra Schumerly, you've said that you're interested in good faith
Speaker 3: negotiations with these leaders, But you know what messages that's
Speaker 3: And is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries
Speaker 3: and sombrero if you're trying to have.
Speaker 9: Something talk to He goes into the answer, But yeah,
Speaker 9: you know what it shows. It shows that we're the
Speaker 9: party that's got a sense of humor, Wow, angry all
Speaker 9: the time.
Speaker 2: Mustache?
Speaker 4: Is it helpful to post pictures of mister Jefferies and
Speaker 4: a sombrero and giant black mustache. Well, a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of Trumps. There's only one Trump, while five different Trumps
Speaker 4: play trumpets and giant guitars, implying.
Speaker 1: Some might say that there are multiple Trumps who should
Speaker 1: run for a third term.
Speaker 2: If there were multiple Trumps, they'd be in a mariachi band.
Speaker 2: Is that helpful.
Speaker 1: Oh my golly, Now this is it's almost kind of
Speaker 1: fun to watch, not the really silly part of it,
Speaker 1: but the effort Hakeem jeffries to try to get his
Speaker 1: civil rights movement. I'm outraged, we're all fighting together, voice going,
Speaker 1: and he runs it off the flagpole and absolutely no
Speaker 1: one salutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say it again.
Speaker 4: I've said it multiple times, but the fact that the
Speaker 4: Washington Post editorial board, the people that run the Washington Post,
Speaker 4: said the Democrats walked into a trap on this one
Speaker 4: and then, and that they shouldn't have shut down the government.
Speaker 4: They should have cobbled together to votes to go with this.
Speaker 4: So I heard it explain. It's actually pretty good explanation.
Speaker 4: These shutdowns are dumb and don't matter. And the last
Speaker 4: one lasted a month and you don't even remember it happened,
Speaker 4: all right, so quit acting like it's a big deal.
Speaker 4: But several times this happened. Last couple of times with
Speaker 4: Republicans were like the Tea Party did this, like we're
Speaker 4: gonna show how hard we're gonna fight. And I was
Speaker 4: on board with the fighting and everything like that, but
Speaker 4: you just don't have the leverage of the votes to
Speaker 4: actually make anything happen. And Ted Cruz did it around Obamacare.
Speaker 4: He did the law the really long what do you
Speaker 4: call it? A filibuster And then they also wouldn't go
Speaker 4: along because they needed his vote to avoid a shut down,
Speaker 4: and he had no leverage to actually get anything accomplished.
Speaker 4: And that's what the the woke progressive end of Democrats
Speaker 4: are doing. Now, We're gonna force a shutdown to show
Speaker 4: how much we fight, but we don't actually have the
Speaker 4: leverage to do anything. And so this has happened a
Speaker 4: couple of times, and again nobody nobody, nobody dies, Nobody
Speaker 4: even notices it happens. It disappears into the history books. Man,
Speaker 4: if you ever read that history book, you are bored
Speaker 4: to death. But speaking of jokes, here's an AI or no,
Speaker 4: this is a comedian. This is not Ai. This is
Speaker 4: a comedian who does a good Trump voice.
Speaker 10: Olah me, fellow americanas cebn anos al sierre de Schumer.
Speaker 10: That means welcome to the Schumer shattawn. We call it
Speaker 10: the Schumer Siesta, right, it's the Schumer Siesta. He put
Speaker 10: the government on siesta. Crying chuck and el hakimo. Hefe
Speaker 10: Jeffreys We used to call him Dallas Store Obama until
Speaker 10: we realize he's worth far less than a dollar. But
Speaker 10: they put the government on siesta to give illegal aliens
Speaker 10: your healthcare. We're not gonna let it happen. I looked
Speaker 10: at both of them. I said, We're not gonna let
Speaker 10: it happen.
Speaker 2: There's no boy no.
Speaker 10: I said, it's no boyno.
Speaker 2: They begged me.
Speaker 10: They said, but signor or for more, please give illegal
Speaker 10: aliens death care. So we're not gonna do it. We're
Speaker 10: never gonna do it. It's not gonna happen. We're gonna
Speaker 10: end the siesta. We're going to reopen the government, and
Speaker 10: we will not give in to the demands of Chuck
Speaker 10: and el Hefe. We're not gonna do that. Thank you,
Speaker 10: God bless you, Diolo Bendiga, and God bless America. Thank
Speaker 10: you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 4: That last part was probably funny, but I don't speak
Speaker 4: enough Spanish to know what he said. Yeah, I missed
Speaker 4: that one too, uh the uh, but please, Senor, it's
Speaker 4: pretty funny. The funny thing is that that's only like
Speaker 4: one tick off actual Trump. Yes, I mean, it's just
Speaker 4: barely even comedy as opposed to the President actually saying
Speaker 4: what he was saying, and so Trump said, I got
Speaker 4: it home word.
Speaker 2: I grabbed it somewhere and I lost it.
Speaker 4: Trump said something funny, but I can't remember what it
Speaker 4: was about the Democrats handing him this the he can't
Speaker 4: believe that they same thing the Washington Post editorial board
Speaker 4: basically said is he can't believe that the Democrats are
Speaker 4: allowing him to do this and.
Speaker 2: All the leverage well in.
Speaker 1: Trump's Boy Russell vote, the budget chief is taking advantage
Speaker 1: of it to try to shrink the government as fast
Speaker 1: as he possibly can.
Speaker 2: Whether it holds up or not, nobody quite sure.
Speaker 1: But it's exactly what Trump and Elon Musk and company
Speaker 1: and a lot of conservatives have been wanting to happen.
Speaker 2: So let it continue. That's fine. I saw.
Speaker 4: So there was some thing in the New York Times yesterday.
Speaker 4: I got the bulletin during the day. You're nervous. Our
Speaker 4: experts are here to answer your questions about the shutdown,
Speaker 4: I thought, And I'm not nervous. I don't have any questions.
Speaker 4: I'm perfectly fine. It'll end, like I keep saying, this
Speaker 4: afternoon or Friday night or next Tuesday and nobody will
Speaker 4: ever think about it ever again.
Speaker 1: So that was to their sizeable percentage of their listenership
Speaker 1: that still wears COVID masks alone outdoors. Right, Well, those
Speaker 1: people are scared. They wake up scared. It makes them
Speaker 1: feel important. Anyway, a word from our friends at web Root.

Speaker 2: Wow. I hadn't seen this.
Speaker 4: Israel struck overnight in the Gaza Strip, killed at least
Speaker 4: thirteen Palestinians according to whoever, according to hospitals. Of course,
Speaker 4: a lot of hospitals are just Homas holdouts and they
Speaker 4: call them a hospital. But anyway, Israel's continuing to blast
Speaker 4: that area Gaza while Hamas is waiting to decide thumbs
Speaker 4: up or thumbs down on the peace proposal, which the
Speaker 4: deadline is this weekend. It's Thursday now, running out of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, maybe they ought to take a hard look
Speaker 1: at it and figure it out quick. What do you
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen? I still think there are only
Speaker 1: two choices. One Hamas says, all right, we'll go along
Speaker 1: with it and pretends to go along with it, uh,
Speaker 1: and seeks to do what they've always thought to do
Speaker 1: as hard as they can. Secondly, they just reject it
Speaker 1: and say we'll fight to the death because they've vowed
Speaker 1: martyred them over and over again.
Speaker 4: So the critics are saying, like, uh, I saw this.
Speaker 4: Peter Baker of the New York Times that this was basically, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, and all or nothing for Hamas proposal from
Speaker 4: the Yeah, you see, one side is winning the war,
Speaker 4: and they're gonna win the war no matter what. So
Speaker 4: they offered to the people that they're about to comply,
Speaker 4: deletely decimate. Here's a way out if you want it.
Speaker 4: If you don't, we're just gonna continue.
Speaker 2: To do what we're doing. That's the way most wars end. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so what like all of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they can decide to do it, Joe said,
Speaker 4: And you know, they're uh dead enders, so they might say,
Speaker 4: you know, we're gonna go ahead and fight to the
Speaker 4: death because they don't care if they take all the
Speaker 4: Palestinians with them, doesn't matter to them.
Speaker 2: In fact, they think that would be great. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're gonna fight as long as they can
Speaker 1: and have as many civilians die as possible to hope
Speaker 1: that the world opinion turns against Israel, because it already
Speaker 1: has to some extent. So yeah, that's probably the most
Speaker 1: likely scenario, but the idea that you know, the Peter
Speaker 1: Baker's of the world, and he's a bright enough guy,
Speaker 1: but my god, you're holding Israel to a standard that
Speaker 1: has never existed in warfare in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: You've just invented this special new one for Israel. All right,
Speaker 1: speaking of that sort of thing, a look from inside
Speaker 1: the media bubble, specifically around Charlie Kirk, stepping aside from
Speaker 1: like partisan advocacy, just looking at it as a scientist,
Speaker 1: a political scientist.
Speaker 2: Cool. What an odd moment we find ourselves in.
Speaker 4: And I just became aware of the term digital dopamine,
Speaker 4: which I hope catches on as a phrase because that
Speaker 4: is what's going on with social media and the way
Speaker 4: everybody's addicted to it and just online everything. Anyway, lots
Speaker 4: of stuff on the way. Stay here, hi, y'all doing.
Speaker 4: I don't know about you. If your kids are back
Speaker 4: in school, do you get illnesses running through your house
Speaker 4: like we do when kids are getting back in school?
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know what you're gonna
Speaker 2: do about that. Oh, I think it's damn near universal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: is it that happened when your kids were in school?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, more cold than that sort of Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: never ending.
Speaker 4: Because only one of your kids has to be in
Speaker 4: one classroom with somebody, and then anybody's got it.
Speaker 2: Sure, yep.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of classrooms, want to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about media and information bubbles. And I was gonna mention that,
Speaker 1: uh well, I did mention on the air the other
Speaker 1: day that a friend of mine has a professional relationship
Speaker 1: with a person and it would not be appropriate for
Speaker 1: my friend to call them out and disagree with them
Speaker 1: on politics. But this person was commenting on the Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk assassination. And this fella, who my friend identified as
Speaker 1: a very nice guy and quite reasonably brian, just an
Speaker 1: overall good dude, was one hundred percent convinced that the
Speaker 1: young man who killed Charlie Kirk was a flag waving
Speaker 1: maga conservative who resented Charlie for not being maga enough.
Speaker 2: Was completely convinced of that.
Speaker 1: And I'm saving it for a campus madness update probably tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But the head of the Association of University Professors, which
Speaker 1: is tens of thousands of university professors, was out the
Speaker 1: other day saying, oh, yeah, absolutely, he was a right
Speaker 1: wing activist who killed Charlie Kirk and exactly the same thing.
Speaker 1: And if there's a theme to this, and I've got
Speaker 1: a couple more like exhibits, it's that a lot of
Speaker 1: folks who think some crazy ass they're probably not bad people,
Speaker 1: but they're used to looking in some fairly normal, mainstreamish
Speaker 1: places for information and what they're getting is just wildly inaccurate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of a couple of people I know who
Speaker 4: have really warped views of what's going on in the world.
Speaker 4: It's not because they're bad, it's just because of where
Speaker 4: they go to get their information.
Speaker 1: Right, and so choice. Yeah, yeah, and you've got to
Speaker 1: be a better consumer of news. But maybe the theme,
Speaker 1: the overall theme, is when you're running too people who
Speaker 1: think this crazy stuff, it could well be they've just
Speaker 1: never heard an alternative explanation, and be nice. Be what
Speaker 1: we on the right tend to be, which is I'll
Speaker 1: listen to you now if you don't mind, can you
Speaker 1: listen to me because I haven't heard you know?
Speaker 2: How about if I go with back away slowly and
Speaker 2: keep my eye on their hands. A lot of war
Speaker 2: two free beacon.
Speaker 1: Let me the major AI platforms which have emerged as
Speaker 1: significant American news sources, especially for the young, describe Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk's assassination as motivated by right wing ideology and downplay
Speaker 1: left wing violence as quote exceptionally rare. According to the
Speaker 1: Free Beacon, when asked to name recent assassination in the
Speaker 1: US motivated by right wing ideology, multiple chat bots, including
Speaker 1: chat GPT, Google's Gemini Perplexity all listed Charlie Kirk's murder
Speaker 1: as a right wing act of violence.
Speaker 4: Well, obviously, Jimmy Kimmel got misled by this. He seemed
Speaker 4: to actually.
Speaker 1: Believe that Gemini's chatbot made the provably false statement that quote.
Speaker 1: The assassination of conservative active as Charlie Kirk in September
Speaker 1: of twenty five has been identified by researchers as the
Speaker 1: only fatal right wing terrorist incident in the US during
Speaker 1: the first half of twenty twenty five, and they go
Speaker 1: into some detail. Keep in mind that a recent Free
Speaker 1: Beacon analysis we talked about this on the air found
Speaker 1: that Al Jazeera was one of the two most popular
Speaker 1: sources used by AI chatbots for news about the Israel
Speaker 1: Hamas war, and there were zero Israel learn leaning sites
Speaker 1: that were in their top ten. I think it was
Speaker 1: so garbage in, garbage out. Then you've got Hannah Nicole Jones,
Speaker 1: Nicole Hannah Jones, whatever her name is. New York Times
Speaker 1: the Crazy Lady, the racist who came out with a
Speaker 1: sixteen nineteen project, wrote recently that public mourning for Kirk
Speaker 1: is unsettling. In the wake of Kirk's death, individuals and
Speaker 1: institutions across the nation moved not just to condemn his
Speaker 1: killings in political violence, but to venerate him. It was
Speaker 1: unsettling to see many politicians from across the political spectrum
Speaker 1: speak with reverence about Kirk. And she went on to
Speaker 1: describe how he was a man who spread hate. Said
Speaker 1: black women lack the brain processing power to otherwise be
Speaker 1: taken seriously, which is a deliberate misquoting of Charlie. And
Speaker 1: again that's in the New York Times. Wow, flamingly. You know,
Speaker 1: liberal obviously, but you could be a person serious about
Speaker 1: getting your information and be completely misled.
Speaker 4: Well, on the same story, but a different version of it.
Speaker 4: I was talking to somebody yesterday who is completely into
Speaker 4: this story that that poor kid in Utah is going
Speaker 4: to be executed for something he didn't do. He was
Speaker 4: framed he was a patsy like Lee Harvey Hoswald, that
Speaker 4: the the FBI planted that gun and they're pinning it
Speaker 4: on him and it was the masade working with our
Speaker 4: FBI to Arlie killed Charlie Kirk and they're gonna pin
Speaker 4: it on this kid, and this poor kid is gonna
Speaker 4: be executed. And how I mean this person was upset
Speaker 4: that this innocent kid is gonna be executed for something
Speaker 4: he didn't do.
Speaker 2: God unplugged the Internet, and I think that comes from
Speaker 2: the Candace Owen's crowd. Yeah, yeah, I was just gonna
Speaker 2: ask that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, final note on this topic, because Nelly
Speaker 1: Bowles is so great writing in the free press and
Speaker 1: the left.
Speaker 2: Yes, but why so like why for you and I?
Speaker 4: Is it so obviously he was half crazy also upset
Speaker 4: about the trans thing, but he's dating a trans person
Speaker 4: and blah blah blah suicidal And I just believe that story.
Speaker 4: Why do you think you and I are the way
Speaker 4: we are on that story, which I believe is the
Speaker 4: accurate version.
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know experience the skepticism. I've described before, how my three
Speaker 1: kids all are very different on the skepticism scale, it's
Speaker 1: got to be inborn to some extent.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wish I could help people on the right and
Speaker 1: left not to fall for what is obvious crap.
Speaker 4: I have no doubt that what I just laid out
Speaker 4: there is the truth, like no doubt.
Speaker 2: I'm not even exactly sure why though. What is the truth?
Speaker 2: That he was a half.
Speaker 4: Crazy, suicidal kid that was upset about the trans stuff,
Speaker 4: and he did it himself.
Speaker 2: Because he's dating a transperson.
Speaker 1: He was alienating from his family because they were conservatives,
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, and he'd spend all of his time online,
Speaker 1: got radicalized.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely true. Yeah, Anyway, no.
Speaker 1: Time to get to Nelly Bowles and her beautiful takedown
Speaker 1: of yet another writer in The New York Times who
Speaker 1: suggested that killing Charlie Kirk was just like a Jew
Speaker 1: in World War Two killing a Nazi.
Speaker 2: What. Yeah, Okay, I don't follow that. You have to
Speaker 2: defend yourself. We've got a lot of candles.
Speaker 4: Let here in the control room for the count count
Speaker 4: because of the shutdown. We're all dealing with it in
Speaker 4: our own way. But I hope you can stick around.
