1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong, and Jackie 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: and Key Armstrong and yet go from studio ce Ceo 4 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: Senor brand new week. What's gonna happen? Oh my gosh, 5 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: it's exciting to think about. It's gonna be awesome or 6 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: horrible or mundane, like every other week of your life, 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: and you wonder, what are we doing here today? We're 8 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: under the tutelage of our general manager, Telsey Gabbert, who 9 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: has serious evidence that Obama and his cold works did 10 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: some bad stuff and claimed some stuff that wasn't true. 11 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: It's all gonna come out soon, maybe in a double 12 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: feature with the Epstein files. Not clear to me. Yet 13 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: You're sure she's not just saying this to get back 14 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: on Trump's good side because she's not allowed in the 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: meetings anymore. Yeah, kind of has an odd taste to it. 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: I mean, did Obama and as people try to under 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: my Trump every way they could, even after the election 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: back in the day. Of course they did, Oh lied 19 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: like rugs. That's right, Hank Jr. But I just this 20 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: all seems a little vague and give it six weeks 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: and nobody will be talking about it. E maybe six days. 22 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: But here's my favorite headline I saw over the weekend. 23 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: This is from the Sunday New York Times. I took 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: my dog to a pet psychic and it improved my 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: dog's life. Wow, we'll get in there, sir Madam. Pet 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: psyche actually made the New York Times in a it 27 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: works sort of way. Yeah, pet psychic's like a real psychic, 28 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: a real psychic. Joe, did you just say that, like 29 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: a human psych a pet psycher. Your dog seems depressed? Hmm? 30 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Do you play with it? Not very much these days. 31 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: We'll play with it, Mark, and it work. The psychic 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: completely connected with my pet. You know, that's an excellent point. 33 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: I've been mocking pet psychics like something apart from regular psychics. 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: But there's no difference, same thing, no difference whatsoever. Why 35 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: would a pet psychic be more ridiculous than a regular psyche. 36 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: That's pretty funny that I fell for that myself. Yeah, 37 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: but I admire their their balls in doing it, because 38 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, like a human being might she resents her 39 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: mother for trying to control her boyfriend something something. Dogs 40 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: don't have that stuff they got like three or four things. 41 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: Did your mother ever tell you to do things you 42 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: didn't want to do? I thought so. Did she disapprove 43 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: of someone you cared about very much? 44 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: Yes? 45 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: She did when I was in high school, my sophomore boyfriend. Yes, okay, 46 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: all right, you know what, the fool in their money 47 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: are soon parted. Thing that might be like one of 48 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: the laws of physics, and you just have to let 49 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 1: it work, similar to gravity. Other thing is I try 50 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: to avoid getting into the real news. The story that 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: has blown up so much over the last week. The 52 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: couple caught it the Coldplay concert. The interesting development on 53 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: that is they both turn out to be mega rich, 54 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: like insanely rich. Oh, he's worth fifty million dollars. She 55 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: comes from one of the richest, most prominent families in 56 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: the Boston area. She married into five billion dollar business 57 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: or something like that. They're both insanely rich. I don't 58 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: know why that matters, but I mean, he quit over 59 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: the weekend. He's now stepped down. But yeah, they'll both 60 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: they'll both be okay. But I think it adds a 61 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: layer of people not feeling sorry for them at all. 62 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: I loved it. I don't want to steal your thunder 63 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: about that video? Was that that you sent around or 64 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: was it Katie to the crew? Evidently, ballparks all over 65 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: the country now are having what they call the cold 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: play cam. Michael, Yeah, that's brilliant. So it's hilarious. So 67 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: they put a couple on the screen and then you're 68 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: supposed to quickly turn your back or dive under the 69 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: seat in front of you and hide. Everybody's doing the 70 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: cold play cam. That might be the most American thing 71 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I've ever seen that. It's pretty funny. We may have 72 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: our faults, but we are funny people Americans. That could 73 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: last forever too. That could be a thing that just 74 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: lasts for and you have to explain to people fifteen 75 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: years from now why that's a thing. Oh that you 76 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: can either kiss or you can like dive beyond the 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: seats and hide. Because yeah, right back in twenty twenty five, 78 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: this couple, they they're both married with children. They both 79 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: have full on families too, which is so I don't know. 80 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: So there's a big acxio story out today that Trump's 81 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 1: very unhappy with Benjamin net Yahu for bomb and Syrian 82 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: a variety of other things. I was just listening to 83 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: a report out of Gaza that is one of the 84 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: most hellish spots on earth right now. Regardless of how 85 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: it got there who he thinks mostly to blame or whatever, 86 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: the reality of it is there's a lot of people 87 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: that don't have a lot of food and water, and 88 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: when they try to get it, they get shot at 89 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: by somebody, and it looks hellish, like living in hell. Yeah, 90 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: I would agree, it's miserable. 91 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: Now. 92 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: If you're listening to NPR, it's all the Israelis faults. 93 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: If it fault if you listen to other people, it's 94 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: Hamas is the one, you know, taking the food, so 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: they're starving. There'd be plenty of food if they weren't. 96 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. You know that whole story. But man, 97 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: what a horrible situation for humanity. And I wonder what 98 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: Trump's going to do about that. Yeah, Islamism leads to 99 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: nothing but horror. By the way, you could certainly faulty 100 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Israelis for a couple of aspects of this, but again, 101 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it more later. I want to go 102 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: back to everybody's favorite story. At one point that astronomers 103 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: Ceo and E Byron we were just discussing. It was 104 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: caught canoodling and cold to play. He was the top 105 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: trending Google search in America.

They come out and Dancing with the Stars. 118 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: They're a team, unlike an rcle or the you know whatever. 119 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, some sort of 120 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: class C celebrity sea lister. They don't need the money, No, 121 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: they don't need the money, but vanity, they need the rehabilitation. 122 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, yeah, okay, yeah, you're right. You go 123 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: on there and you're kind of the underdog, and you 124 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: dance pretty good, and America starts rooting for and you know, 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: so what, you blow up your families. Your kids will 126 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: get over it. Look at you dance right, and the choreographers, 127 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: the choreographers will mix in the whole hiding thing as 128 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: part of the dance steps you know in America will cheer, 129 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: and well, the really old people who watch network TV 130 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: at night will cheer and just love it. Right, the 131 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: hide will become a dance move like the twist or something. 132 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: It's just everybody's doing it on the good thing. Instead 133 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: of tapping, you'll be hiding. Eh oh. Speaking of popular culture, 134 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: at some point, I gotta get to Ben Sass, who's 135 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: one of my favorite thinkers, wrote a piece about the 136 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: end of col Bear's show. Not that that matters, but 137 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: how it's just another sign that our shared culture of 138 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: network TV is dying and soon the last vestiges of that. 139 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: Everybody knows what I'm talking about when I say the 140 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Late Show that is going away, right, And times change, 141 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: and when you're older, you tend to think that it 142 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: was better the way it was before. Sometimes that's true. 143 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: I think the whole we had something we all watched 144 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: and talked about and was pretty nice. 145 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: I know. 146 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: It felt a lot better than being at a dinner 147 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: table full of people and everybody's mentioning different shows that 148 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: nobody else has seen by them. Right, and then if 149 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: two couples end up on a show that they've both watched, 150 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: then they get to talk about it for a while. 151 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: But right, exactly, and everybody else is on the outside. Yeah, 152 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: shared experience, shared culture really matters. Is is this an 153 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: experiment that we're conducting here and we being humanity with 154 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: a utter lack of the sort of connection that has 155 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: bound us for millions of years. Ah? Well, should be interesting, 156 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: it'll be fun to watch. Okay, let's start the show 157 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: officially on a Monday again. Who knows what's going to 158 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: happen this week. This could be a big week for you. 159 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: Why are you get marched to your car with the 160 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: box all your possessions from your desk?

It is Monday, 162 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: July twenty first, the year twenty twenty five. We're Armstrong 163 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: and getting we approve of this program. Okay, here we go. 164 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: According to FCC rules, the eggs show starts at mark. 165 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: President Obama and his leadership team, people who did not 166 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: want to accept the will of the American people and 167 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: electing Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and therefore cooked up 168 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: this treasonous conspiracy to again try to effectively and they 169 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: did effectively launch a year's long coup against the sitting 170 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: president of the United States. 171 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Well, color me very skeptical that there's going to be 172 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: any meata on this bone. If there is perfectly happy 173 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: to talk about it. But there have been several rounds 174 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: of both sides of the aisle of claiming these sorts 175 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: of things that have not panned out. I am of 176 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: two minds on this story. First, you know, I could 177 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: restate what you just did, but there's no need. And 178 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: I do suspect Tulsey is trying to get on the 179 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: ends with Trump instead of being on the outs as 180 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: she seems to be lately. The other aspect of this 181 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: is that the idea that Obama and company so disliked, distrusted, 182 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: hated Trump that they were trying to undermine him before, during, 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: and after the election, and even after he was inaugurated. 184 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: It feels to me, like the Joe Biden Messina story. Yeah, 185 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: we know it's it's it's unforgivable, it's awful, But it's 186 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: unless you are you know, Slate or the New York 187 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: Times or NPR. All that stuff has been pretty well known. Yeah, 188 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: And while the Brennans of the world were probably would 189 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: be involved, I doubt that Barack Obama was orchestrating this 190 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: at the top. And I just find that hard to believe. Well, yeah, 191 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: I don't that's funny. I don't at all. I think 192 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: he despises Trump. I'm sure he does. I don't think 193 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: he was calling his D and I in and his 194 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: various intelligence heads to fabricate a plot, though, I don't. Yeah, 195 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't feel the need to use such dramatic language. 196 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: Old Tulsi is uh, well, she's Tulsi. I'm just saying, 197 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: on the substance of the thing, did they get together 198 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: and talk about this? Yeah, I'll bet they did. Is 199 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: that quote unquote fabricating a plot? I don't know. We 200 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: got other news to get you up on throughout the day. 201 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: We got headlines on the way. Uh. I have been, 202 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: as I've said, reading this book about World War two, 203 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: we're coming up on the eightieth anniversary. I'm just trying 204 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: to get ahead of it here. In a couple of weeks, 205 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot of conversation about dropping 206 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: the bomb because it'll be the eightieth anniversary, and whether 207 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: we should have or not, that sort of stuff. I 208 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of info on that reading this in 209 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: depth book about the final weeks and months of World 210 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: War Two. That's gonna be a big topic. I guarantee 211 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: you here in a in just a couple of weeks 212 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: like it like happened after the Oppenheimer movie. So I 213 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: hope you can stick around if you have any comment 214 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: at any time. Here's our text line four one five 215 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: two nine KFTC A B fifty two bomber almost collided 216 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: with a Delta Airlines commercial flight full of people over 217 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: North Dakota yesterday. That's scary, mistakes were made. I'll get 218 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: into that a little bit later. Story that's getting who 219 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: knew we're still flying B fifty two's around? I mean, 220 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: that's the technology. You can look at it one of 221 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: two ways. Either that's technology that's really endured or man, 222 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: that's an antiquated aircraft. Right. Story, getting a lot of attention. 223 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: Is this off duty border patrol agent shot by an 224 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: illegal in the face, nearly died during a robbery. I 225 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: think it's being misconstrued a little bit in that you've 226 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: gotten illegal and a border patrol agent, but the illegal 227 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: and his partner didn't know that it is a border 228 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: patrol agent. So I don't think it's an immigration story. 229 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: I think it's a we catch people when they commit 230 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: crimes and then let them go over and over and 231 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: over and over again story. I think it's one of 232 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: those stories. H Yeah, I see your point. Yeah, we 233 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: should have booted his ass out of the country as well, 234 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: but sure, Yeah, but he is another one of those stories. 235 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: Guy has committed so many damned crimes of various levels 236 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: and then not been prosecuted or let go because of 237 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: no bail laws until he finally does something extra extra awful. 238 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: We do this all the time. There's one in California, 239 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: a new on in California we'll talk about later. That 240 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: those stories bother me more than practically anything, as a 241 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: guy out in the world trying to live his life 242 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: and protect his kids, that we catch dangerous, bad people 243 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: and then let them go to do it again based 244 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: on a bizarre political ideology. It's a cult, the woke 245 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: cult of criminal injustice. And you want to hear something 246 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: semi disturbing, You got the whole Mamdani thing in New 247 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: York City, right. I was just reading and we can 248 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: get into this in a bit. But socialists Democratic Socialists 249 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: of America now dominate the Portland, Oregon City Council, and 250 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: a Somali American socialist has won the backing of Minnesota 251 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: Democrats in the race for Minneapolis mayor. Omar Fatah, the 252 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: state senator. Samali American socialist, is running on many of 253 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: the same policies as New York mayoral candidates are on Mumdani, 254 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: including rent control and higher taxes on the wealthy. As 255 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: my Jim Buddy, my trainer, my personal trainer Dave says, 256 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: get what you trained for. And we have been teaching 257 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: kids this crap in schools well, the teachers and the teachers' 258 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: unions happen, so it's not a surprise that they grow 259 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: up and they vote for this garbage. But man, it's 260 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: disturbing and dangerous to see unfold. Speaking of training, here's 261 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: one of my favorite little mean thingy shower thought things. 262 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: I saw online. It was a woman bending over in 263 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: the street, grabbing her knees. It says, if you're ever 264 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: feeling sad, just go for a run, because then you'll 265 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: realize that your physical health is way worse than your 266 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: mental health. That's funny. My favorite story that's out there 267 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: today is Trump calling on the Washington commanders to bring 268 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: back the Redskins name and the Cleveland whatever they are, 269 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: to become the Cleveland Indians again. And he's demanding it. 270 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what levers he can pull as president, 271 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: but it's hilariously Yeah. I weep the day that American 272 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: sports teams have to jump and obey the president's orders 273 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: when they become politically correct and feel like they you know, 274 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: you can't be the Cleveland Indians. The Redskins one's a 275 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: little harder to defend other than I don't know how 276 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: many people are being hurt by this, but the Indians 277 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: one is just dumb. There's nothing wrong with that. I 278 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: guess I don't care either way. Uh oh, it just 279 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: got thirty seconds left. Is that just a naked attempt 280 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: to distract from the Epstein thing? I don't know. He 281 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: says this sort of stuff every day. No matter what's 282 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: going on. That's a good point the world. Just even 283 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: as our technology gets terrifyingly smart, I feel like the 284 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: world is just getting dumber. Oh, clearly it is. Yeah, 285 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: that's that's funny that those two things that are going 286 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: on at the same time. We should discuss that or 287 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: look at that. We got a lot on the way. 288 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: I hope you can stay here if you missed a secment, 289 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty. 290 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer claimed defunding PBS will cause many people to 291 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: die because they won't know when and hurricanes are taking place. Yeah, 292 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 3: because I always get my weather from the cookie Monster. 293 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: Idiot. That's just calling that's just calling some people an 294 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,239 Speaker 1: effing idiot. Is that just the logical end game of 295 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: our culture? Now, that's an effing idiot speaking of that 296 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: sort of thing, though, The defunding of BBS and NPR 297 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: got an interview with the lady who runs NPR. She 298 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: won doesn't think there's any bias at NPR, which is 299 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: how you get as biased as they are. I guess 300 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: is that that seems like mainstream news to you. But anyway, 301 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: I'll read from that a little bit later. Or is 302 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: she the classic Marxist who just denies, denies, denies, they 303 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: just lie. That could be I don't know. I know 304 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: I know some people exactly like her that actually think, no, 305 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: this is what what do you mean? This is biased 306 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: because they live in that world old Also a funny 307 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: poll I don't even know who came up with the 308 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: asking people this question. Turns out most Americans have a 309 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: positive view of castles, but a negative view of the 310 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: black plague. We'll get to that coming up. Wow, that's good. 311 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: That's good. I getting back to NPR briefly. Matt Tayibi 312 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: and his folks were writing about it and and it 313 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: is really really good. I wish we had unlimited time. 314 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: I'd read it to you. But he talks about the 315 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: theme of the article is that NPR and and PBS 316 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: to some extent treat America like it's a weird foreign 317 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: country that they really don't approve of. And and he 318 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: did a bunch of searches on their site for various themes, 319 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: including patriotism and what it came up to, came up 320 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: with his black patriotism when love of country means holding 321 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: it accountable. As America turns a year older, polls find 322 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: patriotism has slipped a bit. Or greatness is not a given, 323 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's all critical, hyper critical. Anyway, speaking 324 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: of bad journalism, here's your crappy journalism of the Week awards. 325 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: And I suppose we could have theme music for this, Michael, 326 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's necessary. We've got a couple 327 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: of choices. This one's getting a lot of attention. New 328 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: York Times Opinion page. I was one of Biden's border advisors. 329 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: Here how to fix Here's how to fix our immigration system. 330 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I stumbled. I was one of Biden's border advisors. 331 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: Here's how to fix our immigration system, which apparently is 332 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: not a joke. Right. So I was in charge of 333 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: Trump's security at Shanksville. Here's what's wrong with the Secret Service, 334 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: Iran Chernobyl. Here's what's important with nuclear safety? Good lord, unbelievable. 335 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: So that's choice number one. Choice number two is an 336 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: Axios report on the decline in border crossing since Trump 337 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: took office, which has gone from twenty five thousand a 338 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: month released into the country to zero. It includes the 339 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: following line and I quote, no one knows precisely why 340 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: migrant traffic along the US Mexico border has fallen so much. Wow, 341 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: no one knows now, getting back to our brief and 342 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: unimportant disagreement over at Catherine Mayer there at NPR, did 343 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: the person who wrote that line actually believe that that 344 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: one's hard to defend? And then finally Yuri Berliner, whose 345 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: name you might recognize. He was the guy who wrote 346 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: that brilliant essay about why he was leaving NPR. What 347 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: was that about a year ago or so? I don't know, 348 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm old. Sometime flies and he's out with a new one, 349 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: saying essentially, NPR, you did this to yourselves. You abandon 350 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: any pretense of journalism, just went straight progressive advocacy. He 351 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: lists several of his favorite NPR headlines that when they 352 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: became a caricature of themselves, let's see which skin color 353 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: emoji should you use? The answer can be more complex 354 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: than you think. What black women's group finds health and 355 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: healing on bikes, but sometimes racism too. Oh boy. Bringing 356 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: diversity to Maine's nearly all white lobster fleet, because the 357 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: poor lobsters are really disturbed every time they get yanked 358 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: out of the water and thorough that's been the boiling water. 359 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: It's a white fella doing it. Here's a couple more 360 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: diet culture can hurt kids. This author advises parents to 361 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: reclaim the word fat. No boy as listened to a 362 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: report on NPR today about the how it's worse than 363 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: ever the messages were sending to young boys about how 364 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: muscular they need to be, and they were talking about 365 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: how muscular various superheroes are or whatever. While we have 366 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: an obesity epidemic, more kids are overweight and are going 367 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: to have medical complications or death because of that than 368 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: ever before, by many, many multiples ever on the planet. 369 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: But clearly kids are just obsessed with needing to be 370 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: muscular because of cartoon figures and toxic masculinity too. And 371 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: then Yuri's last headline, and this one I think is 372 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: perfect because it just it could stand in for every 373 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: headline on NPR. These drag artists know how to turn 374 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: climate activism into a joyful blowout. See that's the sort 375 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: of story every day. I say this every day. I 376 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: get in my car and I check NPR as soon 377 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: as I get my car in the parking lot, just 378 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: to see, okay, well it be a woke story today, 379 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: And like eight out of ten times, it's just full 380 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: on woke craziness like that. One yeah, well, these drag 381 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: queens help with climate change, and then the other two 382 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: times it's something way left a center, but it's never 383 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: anything even mainstream or certainly not leaning conservative in any 384 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: way whatsoever. I too, will flip it on occasionally, and 385 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: I usually and this, I actually say this out loud 386 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: to myself sometimes, all right, who's the victim of what? Yeah, 387 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: then I'll turn it on. Well, I'll just read the 388 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: last paragraph from this interview I think the New York 389 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: Times did with the lady that runs NPR. Remember she's 390 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: the one that said free speeches, we've taken it too 391 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: far or something like that. She said, no, no, she said, 392 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: she said this whole getting to the truth or being 393 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: accurate sometimes that gets in the way of what we're 394 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: trying to do here, right, right, That was the whole 395 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: advocacy journalism thing. Right. This argument about public media being 396 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: biased is a stalking horse. We report on soybean farmers 397 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: and LGBTQ activism. Okay, Well, anytime I hear a report 398 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: on soybean farmers, it's about how gay soybean farmers are 399 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: leading to or something like that. And how you doing 400 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: on reporting on the CAST report or the US Health Report? Her, 401 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: every report around the world that shows mutilating kids and 402 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: feeding them powerful hormones when they're momentarily confused because you 403 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: confuse them about their sex is a horror and unsupportable 404 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: by any scientific measure. How are you doing on reporting 405 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: that NPR? Oh, my lord, but she ends with having 406 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: non white voices and perspectives on air does not make 407 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: us woke. Covering the existence of disagreement and difference in 408 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: our country does not make us biased. It makes us 409 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: reflective of the complex, diverse nation we serve. Oh, I'm 410 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: so glad they got defunded. No kidding, covering is disagreeable 411 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: or she's to the point of mentally ill if she 412 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: actually believes that, and I think she probably does. But well, 413 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: how about how's that for a Mott and Bailey argument though, 414 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: I mean your castle in your court, or an argument 415 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: where we say you're just you're crazy, see crazy, woken progressive? 416 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: And what was that last quote from her you read? 417 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: I mean that was just that was four stars. Yeah, 418 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: Covering the existence of disagreement and difference in our country 419 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: does not make us biased. Yeah, that's what we're criticizing 420 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: you for. That's right, that's what people are pissed off about. 421 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: Good job, Catherine, w boy, she beat the crap out 422 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: a straw man. Let him up. He's had enough. Good lord. Well, 423 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: I just always look at it from a standpoint of 424 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: would this serve the bulk of America since it's getting 425 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: taxpayer funding. If you're not getting taxpayer funding, you have 426 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: no need to serve a bulk of America. You can 427 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: serve whoever the hell you want. But if you're getting 428 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: the bulk of America. Is my new book about obesity, 429 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: by the way, just a funny coincidence, coming out next week. 430 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: But like you know, looking at a bell curve, you 431 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: need to be that inside, you know, standard deviation where 432 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: you cover like ninety percent of people, and it's not 433 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: the eff almost ever in what they're covering. It's like 434 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: the little sliver on the left. Well, why would I 435 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: fund that? Well, we're not anymore, right, Michael hit it 436 00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: for our. 437 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 4: Most tricky disagreements. Seeking the truth and seeking to convince 438 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 4: others of the truth might not be the right place 439 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 4: to start. In fact, our reverence for the truth might 440 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 4: be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding 441 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 4: common ground and getting things done. 442 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: How crazy a thing is that? To say one of 443 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: my favorite Bob Dylan songs as the Refrain. Sometimes Satan 444 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: comes in as a man of peace. Sometimes Satan comes 445 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: as a good looking blonde chick at a media company. Wow, 446 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: you think she's Satan. I think she's evil. I absolutely 447 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: think she represents and promotes that which is evil. I 448 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: as always seek to battle her ideas with better ideas. 449 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not calling for anybody to hold an exorcism 450 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: of her or anything else insane, But yeah, that's evil. 451 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: That is the voice of and the message of overt 452 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: unmistakable evil. May she be damned to Hell, if there 453 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: is a hell, and I mean there's not, maybe it. 454 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: May she be damned to whatever is the most unpleasant option, 455 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: at least defundedive taxpayer funds. Right and again, before we 456 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: go to break, so we can get the mail bag. 457 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: If you're ever feeling sad, just go for a run. 458 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: Then you'll realize that your physical health is way worse 459 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: than your mental health. Oh my god, Oh you know. 460 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: On that theme, I was playing golf over the weekend 461 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: with some friends and both my partner and I just 462 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: had a horrendous front nine and it was oh, congratulations 463 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: to the great Scott Scheffler, who we were talking about 464 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: his attitude and his love of his family blah blah blah. 465 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: Last week he won the British Open by four strokes, 466 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: obliterating the field. He is unbelievable. He is the best 467 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: golfer ever since Tiger. Anyway, Oh so we are both terrible. 468 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: And it got to the point where we were laughing 469 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: about it. And it sucks to suck was the motto. 470 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: I suck and you know what, it sucks to suck. 471 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: And I was reminded of that, So I like that one. 472 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: In this one, the the cold Play fan who kind 473 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: of accidentally exposed that tech tycoon's affair by tweeting out 474 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: that video. Okay, she was criticized for it, blah blah blah, 475 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: and her blunt message is terrific. And I know you 476 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: hipsters know this already, but I like it. Play stupid games, 477 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: win stupid prizes.

You're laying the 482 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: groundwork for this sort of disaster. Y, it's a cousin too. 483 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. 484 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: You know you're gonna you're gonna do that stuff.

And I've done that many 487 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: times in my life, usually with the quick revelation of 488 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: how'd you think this was going to turn out? The genius? Okay, 489 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: we got mail bag on the way. Next day here, 490 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham did an interview on Fox last night and said, 491 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: message to putin Donald Trump is the Scottie Scheffler of 492 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,719 Speaker 1: American politics, and he will put a whooping on your ass. 493 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: How about that? How about that? Tying into the news 494 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: story of the day, fretting him with a golfer. Yes, 495 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: here's your freedom, lov you. Quote of the day from 496 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: the great Thomas Sowell. The list continuing because he says 497 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: so many brilliant things, and because I didn't change the 498 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: theme in time today, so we'll just keep going with Thomas. 499 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: A couple of them. The first lesson of economics is scarcity. 500 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those 501 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: who want it. The first lesson of politics is to 502 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: disregard the first lesson of economics. Oh good one, so true. 503 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: Politics is really the art of ignoring you know, virtually 504 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: all of the sciences. And on that theme of economics 505 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: and capitalism, this was one of the Soul's great arguments 506 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: about how capitalism is superior to all other systems, not 507 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: only financially but morally. Capitalism knows only one color. The 508 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: color is green, the color of money. All else is 509 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: necessarily subservient to it. Hence, race, gender, and ethnicity cannot 510 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: be considered within it. Or if you do, it's to 511 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: your own detriment. You'd be an idiot. If you can 512 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: do business with and profit from business with another ethnicity 513 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: or whatever, you'd be an idiot not to or not 514 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: hire the best people, regardless of whatever. Right right, and 515 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: your bigotry will be punished. Mail bag. You can drop 516 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: us an email mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. 517 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: Less dive right in, Mikey, is it not funny? And 518 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: also downright concerning that Orwell's nineteen eighty four and the 519 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: movie idiocracy or coming to life at the same time. Yes, 520 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: it's downright concerning Mike. I cry myself to sleep every 521 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: night and cry myself awake in the morning. Moving along, 522 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what keeps Elon Musk up at night. 523 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: According to a tweet he had, stay tuned Up and Coming. 524 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: Regular correspondent. Frequent correspondent Sean Right. I heard Jack callously 525 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: talking about the nine times he fell while hiking the 526 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,239 Speaker 1: luxury of colonial oppression falls on a trail. I know 527 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: a group of people who would love the chance to 528 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: fall nine times on a hike, the indigenous people who 529 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: once lived on that land. Wow, here's an opportunity for 530 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: Jack to correctly atone and declare the indigenous ownership of 531 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: the land he was hiking on and declare some of 532 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: those falls in their name. I fell in the name 533 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: of the paw Tuckwooks exactly. I would like to declare 534 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: before we get started that the land I have just 535 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: fallen on my ass on was the land of the 536 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: Pataguak Indians and blah blah blah. Now let's do what 537 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: we were going to do before we said that the 538 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: Punchakus took this from the macawaukahs by killing all the 539 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: males and raping all the women, which is often the case. 540 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: By the way, when land was taken Veniant, we're being 541 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,719 Speaker 1: enlightened over here, please, So this is from the fellow 542 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: who charmingly signs his emails Bong hits for Jesus. He said, 543 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: did you skip the punchline on purpose? Guys? You're very 544 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: funny and good wordsmith's. But I always thought the punchline 545 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: was an integral part of the joke. I mentioned this 546 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: last week. Here's the part I read. Well, back then 547 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: a dad had three to four kids. Nowadays kids have 548 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: three to four dads. Hey, no, And the punchline I 549 00:32:53,800 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: left out is climate change is crazy. It's pretty funny, 550 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: is it. I think it's hilarious. I don't get it. 551 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: Is it just the absurdity of it because it's got 552 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. Climate change rarely has anything 553 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: to do with whatever people are talking about. But yeah, okay, 554 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: it's used all the time. Yeah, okay, Well let's see laugh. 555 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: Uh Pwell, writes I think you pretty well covered the 556 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: taxpayer defunding of NPR and PBS. But here's one more 557 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: way to think about it. Imagine that up till now 558 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: there had been no public funding for them. Would anybody 559 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: be making the case that we should start giving them 560 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: taxpayer money now? 561 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: No? 562 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: Then why should we keep giving them taxpayer money? Once 563 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: a policy gets in place and puts down roots, people 564 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: begin to expect it, depend on it, defend it. However, 565 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: little sense it presently makes. Kind of like the immigration 566 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: mess that last, the one before with the joke, I'm 567 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: going to start using that more often. It's like when 568 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: we used to say, after anything bad going on, we'd 569 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: say thanks Obama, or when we saw it of wokism, 570 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: to call everything racist. Every single point of disagreement was 571 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: because of racism, to you know, mock it away, Jess Rights, 572 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: I read it so you don't have to. A New 573 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: York Times top of the fold, number one article on 574 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: their website, big long article about how the Epstein files 575 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: probably are being suppressed because they have damning evidence against Trump. 576 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: And as Jess puts it, because one time, when this 577 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: lady was twenty twenty years ago, she had her legs 578 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: looked at like twenty paragraphs in and it's funny, she said, 579 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: I read this so you don't have to. I read 580 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: the first thousand words, and I'm like, they're not saying anything. 581 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. Some girls said Trump looked at her 582 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: and it made her uncomfortable twenty years ago or whatever 583 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: it was. I thought, that's it. Surely the things over right. 584 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: This is a new week. We need a new dum fish, 585 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: we need a new dumb story. Hopefully that's what you 586 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: mean by Epstein. True if you miss a segmentaror now 587 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: we get to the podcast, We've got a lot more comings. 588 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: Stay here, Armstrong and Getty 589 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 2: H
