Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Jackie and Key arms Drawn, get it who I'm from?

4
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: The studio scene says you are. We are in a

5
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: dimly lit room deeper.

6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: Than the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: on Tuesday and under.

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: The tutelage of our general manager.

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: The hard parts, the hard part, Oh, our general manager

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: is a concept.

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: That's right.

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: We're going very igh minded here, very intellectual as in comma.

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: Here comes the hard part. What are we talking about?

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 3: Oh, the negotiations over the fate of Ukraine. The diplomacy

15
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: that took place yesterday was very impressive, very interesting. The

16
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: more I look into it, the deeper I dive, the

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: more interesting it becomes.

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: But now the.

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: Hard part, and I'm looking at the television. Some of

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: the pictures out of that thing are really something. I mean,

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: that's quite the historic meeting in terms of the group

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: of power that came together at the White House in

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: a way that has never happened in the history of

24
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: the world. Right, really wild. I was watching some analysis

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: on News Nation Today and the guy said, and I

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: don't think enough people are saying this. Does Putin have

27
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: any interest in any of this? Has anybody checked? Because

28
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: there's a chance he has no interest in this whatsoever.

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: And if he doesn't, does any of this matter at all? Well, right,

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: you have to at least it partially except the premise

31
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: that he wants to end this and fairly quickly if

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: he can.

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he does.

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: And if he doesn't have any interest at all, are

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: you practically at square one.

36
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: In terms of forcing him to end it? Or do

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: he just walk away? That what a great question.

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, because from Putin's point of view, it's

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: not like he has two choices go along with the

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: Trump plan or keep fighting. No, he has six or

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: seven choices, I mean, various shades of doing this, agreeing

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: to that, violating that in six months, you know, stringing

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: along the negotiations that start.

44
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: I don't think.

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't even think most of the analysis approaches it

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: as if he has two choices. Most of the analysis

47
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: seems to approach it as this, as if he's on

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: board with wanting this to end. And it's just how,

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: you know, what the what the construct of the ending

50
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 2: looks like it's like he has one choice. Is the

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: way it's being presented that he's already chosen. He wants

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: to end, everybody wants to end. It's what does that

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: look like? And he hasn't made any noises whatsoever that

54
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: is an interest at all.

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: No, there's probably a long Russian word for pretending to agree.

56
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: So other side show cards.

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's just I think what happened here,

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: not that it's a bad thing, but he was just

59
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: curious to say.

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: All right, well, well they cook up, let's find out.

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: We're just delaying like a man and a woman. And

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: she's they're having a bit of an argument over you know,

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: are they gonna have flowers on the table at the

64
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: wedding or just out front? And that's a lot of

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: money and she's never said yes. Maybe she's not gonna

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: say yes. You're arguing about stuff. Doesn't matter if she

67
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: doesn't say yes. And uh, I think that's might be

68
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: where we are on this now. Trump did say just

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: a little bit ago and we'll play some clips, and

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: a called into Fox and Friends that something along the

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: lines of, uh, I hope Trump is good and if

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: he's not, it's gonna be it's gonna be ugly and

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: whatever ugly means, Houtin Putin, Yeah, Trump said, putting in

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: the I hope he's gonna be good and if he's not,

75
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: it's going to be ugly.

76
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: Well, the whole question is security guarantees.

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: I mean, which Trump throughout for the first YadA, YadA, YadA,

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: security guarantees. That's an enormous topic, right, Putin's gonna have

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: some strong opinions about to say the.

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Least Trump throughout for the first time ever. Uh.

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: The idea of the United States being part of a

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: backup security guarantee, So that's a heck of a thing.

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: And Wall Street Journal writing about that today. We'll get

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: to that later. But man boots on the ground of

85
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: European countries, I guess France and Great Britain and security

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: backup security guarantees from the United States. I saw former

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: uh what was Bolton under Trump? A national security advisor

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: saw him on one of the talk shows last night

89
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: saying guarantees from the United States of British and French

90
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: troops are if they get if they're getting their asses kicked,

91
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: we we come in and fight. Also, that's what that means,

92
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: and so that's a pretty big deal.

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: That's a long way from where we were a year ago. Yeah. Yeah.

94
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: And the question of what exactly Zelensky will agree to

95
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: or get his country to vote for, since that's what

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: their constitution says.

97
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's an enormous open question too. It's huge.

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: We've just and then there's the you know, to continue

99
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: to your wedding, you know, metaphor. And there's a question

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: of kids, which we'll decide down the road anyway. Uh no, no, no, no,

101
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 3: oh wait wait wait right, so now comes the hard part.

102
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an understatement.

103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 2: If the if the other, if she has no interest

104
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: in getting married whatsoever, it's not the hard part. It's like,

105
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? And I'm not sure Putin

106
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: has any interest in ending this? Well, right, yeah, And

107
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: it's an interesting point. It's not as if it is inevitable.

108
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: If you wrestle manfully enough with the issues and negotiate

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: skillfully and generously long enough, you will come to an argrant.

110
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: It's possible the parties actually will get together and decide.

111
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: We have no overlap here, we have no common ground none,

112
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: and we despise each other.

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: In fact, is that not the most likely outcome.

114
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: You agreed on the kids and the flowers and the

115
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: caterer and how big the guest list was going to be.

116
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: But you're a no on getting married.

117
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm a no. Well then what was all that?

118
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: You're the one who brought it up. I didn't A

120
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: troubling metaphor and disappointing. I didn't start the conversation about

121
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: flowers and catering.

122
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: You did, so I went along with it. But I

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: never said I had any interest in getting married. What

124
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: did we spend on the invitations?

125
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Again?

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: Man, that's your deal, that's your whole idea. I really

127
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: think I even like you.

128
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 4: Boy.

129
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, I just can't belie.

130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Leave that Putin and Zelenski are going to be in

131
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: a room together alone.

132
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: It's brutal to contemplate, doesn't it? Just the.

133
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: Hatred legitimate from Zelensky side. Oh, how would you not

134
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: have depatred for that guy? You would think the best

135
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: thing I could do for my country is if I

136
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: could attack him in time, to stick my thumbs through

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: his eye sockets and scramble his brain. That'd be the

138
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: best thing I could do for my country. Require unusually

139
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: long thumbs. But I see your point. Yeah, yeah, Do

140
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: they shake hands?

141
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god?

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: How could you possibly shake hands with your put and

143
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: sent a missile into an apartment complex yesterday killed a

144
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: whole family, including a little girl.

145
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: Man, how could you shake hands with that guy? Well,

146
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: and they have abducted to twenty thirty forty fifty thousand.

147
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: Nobody's quite sure. How many Ukrainian children? Can you imagine

148
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: if somebody did that to the US friends, and then

149
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: our president was forced to shake his hand and beg

150
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: him for a deal.

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: And stand side by side for a picture. No, it's

152
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: impossible to imagine.

153
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: We wouldn't I know a.

154
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: Lot of you that would fight to the death before

155
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: you watched that scene.

156
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: Right, I don't know.

157
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: And so I think what I heard today was that

158
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: Putin asked for the one on one with Zelensky. I

159
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: think he's asking for that with the idea of all

160
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: this will be something. How's he going to react to this?

161
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and Putin a TV boy, let's get it on.

162
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: Putin has all the cards in terms of trying to

163
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: make Zelensky nuts. Oh yeah, I mean if he sits

164
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: down and talks, Yeah, and talks about how you know

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: you started this war or any of that kind of crap,

166
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 2: or we're only bombing military installations, or just any of

167
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: the lies that he throws out.

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: Got it be impossible not to lose your head. Yeah?

169
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And what would the security look like there? How's

170
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: school enrollment in Ukraine? It's great in Russia. You got

171
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: lots of great new kids here, yeah exactly. Yeah, teaching

172
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: them all about Russia and how it's one country with

173
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: Ukraine and teaching them the language to Russian.

174
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: Of course, that seems you should go berserk. Yeah, I

175
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: just I can't imagine that that's happening. And Trump's talking

176
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: about it like it's going to wow. How about well,

177
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: let's uh, well before we take a break.

178
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: So the.

179
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: Did the hot mic moment? I suppose if you follow

180
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: the news, everybody's heard it. So Trump's tropping talking to

181
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: Macron as they're getting ready to sit down and everything

182
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: like that, and he says to Macron something along the

183
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: lines of yeah, I talked to him, and I think

184
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: he really wants to for me, he wants to do

185
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: a deal.

186
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: I think Trump's out of his mind, thinking.

187
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: That puts that easily manipulated, thinking that Putin, as a

188
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: personal favor to Trump, is willing to do some sort

189
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: of deal because of Trump's you know, because of their bond.

190
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: That's scary. It is scary. I don't know how Trump

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: I could possibly think that. Yeah, yeah, now.

192
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: I did hear one of your report that Trump was

193
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: livid on the plane back from Alaska on Friday, felt

194
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: like he'd really been jerked around, that Putin had led

195
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: him to believe that he was interested in doing something

196
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: and then got there and wasn't interested in anything.

197
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how you.

198
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: Got led to believe. I mean, we don't know what

199
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: exactly they're saying on all these phone calls. They were

200
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 2: on the phone together for forty minutes yesterday.

201
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: But why do you believe this guy? He's a freaking snake.

202
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080

00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: serving overseas, et cetera. But yeah, that'll be a that'll

225
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: be a big one.

Speaker 2: that meeting at the Oval Office yesterday was just absolutely

231
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: mind blowing in terms of its significance and power, all

232
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: gathered together in one place. Some of the analysis that

241
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

242
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: I used to be super into that sort of thing,

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: but now that I'm not. It just I can't even imagine, however,

244
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: was It's like being a fan of a band and

245
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: then getting angry if another band puts out a good album.

246
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't. I don't understand. He's

Speaker 1: Quote.

252
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 5: Truly a significant step, Zelensky says of White House meeting with.

253
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: Trump again, it is very significant if Putin has any

254
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: interest in this also, and if he doesn't, I'm not

255
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: sure we accomplish anything well.

256
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: And to you know, rephrase that, if Putin has any

257
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: interest in anything that would have any interest for the

258
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: Ukrainian side, right, I mean even if he thinks, yeah,

259
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: we could probably come to a deal, and oh, I

260
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: wants forty percent of Ukraine.

261
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,360

Speaker 3: from other diseases in major publications and broadcast networks to

267
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: illustrate Israel's cruelty, even though it has nothing to do

268
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: with that knowing. It's not two examples, it's dozen. Is

269
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: it knowingly or is it just they don't do their homework.

270
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 3: I think it's they don't bother checking Hamas feeds it

271
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000

Speaker 5: like taking supplements.

317
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: How do they get them?

318
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: They it's called t maxing.

319
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: Are they those phony supplements that don't actually do any good?

320
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: I'll have to dig into that.

321
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: And finally, the babylon Bee Democrats say mail in ballot

322
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: ban will place undue hardship on dead voters.

323
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: Oh.

324
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what to think about the mail in

325
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: ballot I generally I would like voting to go back

326
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: to just we all go stand in line on one day.

327
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know if we're ever going to get

328
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: there again.

329
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: Well, the problem with all of it is that that's

330
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: determined by the states right in charge of voting, right

331
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: as it should be.

332
00:16:59,240 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Right.

333
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get into that more. All those topics. We

334
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: can delve into it to a certain extent. That AI

335
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: thing was nutty, So more details on the way and

336
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of different stuff. If I hope you

337
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: can stick around, and if you can't, you want to

338
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: get a segment or an hour, get the podcast Armstrong

339
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: and Getty on.

340
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: Demand Armstrong and Getty.

341
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: Class Night do Bike used bike about a bike? I'm

342
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 2: gonna become bike riding guy. Be one of those guys

343
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: where is a really skin tight clothes walks around the Starbucks.

344
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not, actually, but I pictured you more shirtless

345
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: over Tenned Methy. Probably stolen bike guy. Right, you're going

346
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: like Tour de front riding a kid's bike. I'm somewhere

347
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: in between. I'm going to be in probably jeans, tennis

348
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: shoes and a T shirt. But I am on a

349
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: real bike, not a child's bike. I took out of

350
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: someone's backyard. The suburban gentleman look exactly.

351
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: That is why not perfect.

352
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to our favorite military analyst, Mike

353
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: Lyons next our perfect timing since a lot of US

354
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: security guarantees and NATO's security guarantees, well not NATO, but

355
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 2: NATO country guarantees were brought up yesterday, and we need

356
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: to talk to a military guy about what that would

357
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: look like, what that actually means. So I'm looking forward

358
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: to that conversation right.

359
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 3: Indeed, so switching to the domestic scene, at least temporarily,

360
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: there are a number of stories that show enormous progress.

361
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Towards sanity.

362
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: We were talking yesterday about an absolutely blockbuster report in

363
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: the Hill about how vast majorities of college kids don't

364
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: believe the garbage they've been indoctrinated in, but they're afraid

365
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: to say it.

366
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: That is one of the more important things for people

367
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: to know that I can remember. I mean, this is

368
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: important information.

369
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we hammered.

370
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 3: This pretty good yesterday, but seventy eight percent of students

371
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: told us a self censor on their belief surrounding gender identity,

372
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: seventy two percent on politics in general, sixty eight percent

373
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 3: on family values. They value what are traditionally known as

374
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: family values, but they dare not speak it on college campus,

375
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: and more than eighty percent so they'd submitted classwork that

376
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: mis represented their views in order to align with professors.

377
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: You give them a chance and they will tell you

378
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: what they really think. And we are on the cusp.

379
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: I think of a huge move toward the youngsters or

380
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 3: recognizing what's being done at colleges. It's not education at all,

381
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: it's in doctrination. But those poll numbers were stunning and encouraging.

382
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: Well.

383
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: The important thing to me, though, is just realizing that

384
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: as human nature, that we're all so susceptible.

385
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: I don't know about all, but so many people are

386
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: susceptible to this.

387
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, of keeping your mouth shut if you think most

388
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: people don't agree with you. I keep my mouth shut

389
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: in most social situations about political stuff. But right, well,

390
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: and the whole concept of a preference distortion, which I

391
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: find so interesting that you because everybody around you is silent,

392
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: you think, oh, I'm probably one of the only people

393
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: who believes this because they agree with the powerful people

394
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: who are telling us all what we ought to believe.

395
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: But no, you're all sitting there thinking the same thing.

396
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

397
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: And I don't know how many times, probably everybody's had

398
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: this situation where that is going on, and somebody says,

399
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a gun owner, and I'm me too,

400
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: me too, and that's oh, geez, okay, so we're not

401
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: all well, and that's whatever the topic is.

402
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: And that's the crazy thing.

403
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: You know too, If you find yourself in college and thinking,

404
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: you know this this stuff about you know, the gender

405
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: bending madness, a man can just become a woman and

406
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 3: that's really a woman, and all the other stuff they

407
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: teach these poor kids, all the critical theory stuff. If

408
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: you have the courage to stand up and be that

409
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 3: rebel and think, you know what, ten percent of us

410
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 3: are together, I'm going to stand up and say so,

411
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, eighty five percent of the

412
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: class is on your side.

413
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: You are a rebel, but you know you're not nearly

414
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: as lone as you think.

415
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't blame people though, I mean, well, it's

416
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: not blame them at all. First of all, everything that's

417
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 2: been presented to all of us led us to believe

418
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: that this is what most people on college campuses thought.

419
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: Was this stuff.

420
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: Well that's part of the insidious plot. That's what propaganda is.

421
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: Sure, and telling everybody, including the teachers who are going

422
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: to grade you, that they're wrong, completely wrong, is not

423
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: always your best move, right. Oh yeah, Well that's why

424
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the kids submitted work that they didn't believe,

425
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: because they had to get some to get their grades

426
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: and move on in life. Nearly four out of five.

427
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: I don't believe this, but I'm gonna pretend I do

428
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: to get along. That's amazing.

429
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but that's you know, that's.

430
00:21:53,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: Indoctrination, especially of youth, is all about fighting unfairly and

431
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: bullying and convincing kids that everybody believes it, and anybody

432
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: who dissents as a bad person. So yeah, I don't

433
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: blame the kids at all. No, I want to fight

434
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 3: against the evil doers or bullying them anyway.

435
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: Uh mor good.

436
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: News, and if San Francisco's doing it, it's gonna spread.

437
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: San Francisco has embraced a new tool to clear homeless camps.

438
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: I've noticed city officials pointing to cleaner streets. Is evidence

439
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 3: that more active approach is working. I feel like my reporter,

440
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 3: I say it's cruel and nasty.

441
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: I feel like my reporting, with my own circumstances, was

442
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: leading the way long before the Wall Street Journal or

443
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: others picked up on this. On the East coast, San

444
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: Francisco's a complete If you haven't been in a long time,

445
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: it's a completely different looking city than it was a

446
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: year ago.

447
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

448
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: Indeed, between July of last year and July of this year,

449
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 3: the city arrested or cited more than one thousand and

450
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: eighty people on illegal lodging charges. That's over ten times

451
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 3: the number of arrests during the same period a year

452
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: early under the progressive former administration. Last time I was

453
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: in downtown San Francisco, I saw a homeless person one

454
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 3: and that person was being talked to by somebody from

455
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: the city about how you got to get out of here.

456
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: So the residents and business owners complaining about safety as

457
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: encampments grew have finally been heard now. Of course, the

458
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: activists say, you're merely shifting the homeless population around the

459
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: city and putting homeless people a greater risk. Shut up

460
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 3: a most of them need to shrug addicts. Yeah, yeah,

461
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: shut up. So San Francisco is doing a good job.

462
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: It is possible, even under some of the bizarre court

463
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: rulings recently. And also and this is out of San

464
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: Francisco as well. Once seen as a model of progressive

465
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: drug policy, San Francisco stands now as a morbid example

466
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: of how harm reduction has gone astray.

467
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: This is one of the.

468
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: Shibboleths, one of the gods of the left is that

469
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: you've got to help junkies do drugs safely and comfortably.

470
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: Look I get the clean needles thing, I get the

471
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 3: impulse there.

472
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: What's the theory on that?

473
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: Though?

474
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Well, how's that supposed to end?

475
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: That?

476
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: People will on their own decide, you know what, I

477
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 2: don't want to live in my own filth on the

478
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: street at some point, yes, okay, yes, exactly.

479
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

480
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: In fact, this Gal who's the executive director of the

481
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: National Harm Reduction Coalition, called the shift in San Francisco

482
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: away from the harm reduction quote moronic and antithetical to

483
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: what we know works. But the problem in San Francisco

484
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: and other progressive cities is that harm reduction has become

485
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: completely divorced from recovery.

486
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: What began as a.

487
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: Campaign to keep people live long enough to recover from

488
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: addiction has devolved into a philosophy that no longer considers

489
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: recovery as necessary.

490
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: Or even desirable.

491
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: Question of whether or not harm reduction is successful comes

492
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: down to whether it's treated as a gateway to recovery

493
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: or as an alternative to it.

494
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: So there you go.

495
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 3: It has become an alternative to getting off of drugs.

496
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: What percentage? So I'm I'm not a big financed by

497
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: you the taxpayer. I'm not big on the uh on

498
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: rehabs and that sort of stuff, because they are incredibly unsuccessful,

499
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 2: and nobody pays any attention to that. But of people

500
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: that I mean, not just for regular people, of people

501
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: that are so far down the whole drug road that

502
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: you're sleeping on the street next to another drug addict,

503
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 2: how many of those people ever clean up? I wonder

504
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: half a one percent. I'll bet it's I'll bet it's very,

505
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: very low.

506
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm guessing you know, a pretty good chunk of

507
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 3: them continue using into their forties fifties, and then they

508
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: succumb to you know, the sort of thing middle aged

509
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: addicts do. As you know, a corner once said, in

510
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: response to the question who's your most common customer, they

511
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 3: said male fifties alcoholic, and I'm sure drug addict. Now,

512
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: because that was, gosh, fifteen years ago, I think they

513
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: would probably say, yeah, middle aged drug addict or a

514
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: young drug addict. Anyway, more good news, though. Don't want

515
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: to get focused on the bad news. Want to get

516
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: focused on the fact that a lot of the insane

517
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: policies of the left are being abandoned, even in places

518
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: like San Francisco. Different topic, but kind of the same area.

519
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: Boston Children's Hospital. The Harvard Medical Research and Training Hospital

520
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: that specializes in children's care, had previously insisted that they

521
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 3: do not perform genital surgeries as part of gender affirming

522
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: care on patients under the age of eighteen, but a

523
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: journal of Clinical Medicine Studies published a couple of years

524
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: ago that was improved. Blah blah blah describes chest surgeries

525
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: for those who were fifteen, as well as genital surgeries

526
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 3: for those over seventeen, And the Trump administration has subpoenaed

527
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: all sorts of information from them, and because of that,

528
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: at least partly, and this is from the New York Times,

529
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 3: uh reload plays there. It is hospitals are limiting gender

530
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 3: treatment for transminers. Both of those phrases ought to be

531
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 3: in quotes because they're made up. Even in blue states,

532
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: three prominent medical centers in California recently announced they would

533
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: stop the treatments, citing pressure from the Trump administration and

534
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: from from sanity.

535
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: So that's good.

536
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 3: There's a lot of real madness being rolled back. Good

537
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: progress domestically.

538
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: Love it.

539
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: Let's not focus on the grim stuff. So you mentioned

540
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: before the show you got a cold, I do. It

541
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: seems fairly mild, oh as most of my colds have

542
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: been in the last I don't know decade.

543
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: Oh, good for you. I hate cold. I haven't had

544
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: one in a long time.

545
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: I've got maybe the Remember that streak I had with

546
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 3: whooping coffin colds.

547
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: I was sick for like six months. I feel like

548
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: like non stop. It's horrible. I've meant second time. I

549
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: have no idea why, though I wish I knew why,

550
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: if like I was doing something washing my hands more,

551
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: staying away from cretans or I don't know what, but that.

552
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: One, that's a big one, you know.

553
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm scratchy of throats and runny of nose and

554
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: I want to lie down every minute.

555
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: But no, that's probably not that. But not you wish

556
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: you don't care, but not you wish you were dead,

557
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: like bad colds can be. Nah now and.

558
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: It's good because we're traveling overseas on Friday.

559
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe.

560
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: I didn't pick up on the obvious. Why have I

561
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: not been sick and roughly three months? Anyway? My kids

562
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: are back in school. Oh yeah, oh, my kids have

563
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: been out of school all summer long. That's why I

564
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: haven't been sick, and now my kids are back in school,

565
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: so welcome back the common cold.

566
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: Those clever little microbe messengers bringing home little microscopic notes

567
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 3: from their friends.

568
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: There's a nice sales lady around here calls the kids

569
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: going to school plague, taxis plague, taxis perfect. I know, God,

570
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: dang it, kids are back in school, so bring back

571
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: the gold.

572
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: All. Oh, well, that's just part of it. Occurs to me,

573
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: I should name names.

574
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: Back to the transgender youth thing, mutilating poor innocent children

575
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: who are momentarily confused with either chemicals or knives. Children's

576
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: Hospital LA Shuddered Center for trans Youth Health and Development,

577
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: Thank god. Stanford Medicine San Francisco Bay Areas paused surgical procedures,

578
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: including new puberty blocker implants for those under.

579
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: The age of nineteen, Oh my god.

580
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: And Kaiser Permanenae, one of the biggest health systems in

581
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: the nation with dozens of facilities in California, announced it

582
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 3: would pause gender related surgeries for patients under the age

583
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: of nineteen. Can you imagine the sort of person who

584
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: would mutilate a confused teenager, probably autistic, probably suffering from

585
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 3: other emotional problems because they thought they're desperate, desperate road

586
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: to happiness might be some sort of sex change because

587
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: they're confused children. Can you imagine executing those confused wishes?

588
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: Ugh, or just or monsters or people who are just

589
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: a feminine gay boys or masculine gay.

590
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: Girls right who've been convinced by the activists. No, No,

591
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: you've got to have a surgeon cut on you to

592
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: become who you really are.

593
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: What is that?

594
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you see a gay little fellas and

595
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: butch girls.

596
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: You're exactly the way you ought to be. Have a

597
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: great life.

598
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 3: Here at the Fascist Conservative Armstrong and Getdy show.

599
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: We accept you for you who you are. You're fine,

600
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: You're like God made you. Don't let those sickos hack

601
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: you up. Good lord.

602
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: Esh Okay, we're gonna get into the whole Ukraine thing

603
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: and what security guarantees would look like from the United

604
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: States and European troops and all that sort of stuff.

605
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: An hour two we got mail bag on the way

606
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: next to here. Hetty, I did not know this. I

607
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: thought this was over September. Congress comes back to DC,

608
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: front and center, right off the bat Ebstein crap. Oh, no,

609
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to be able to force all kinds

610
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: of different Epstein conversations. Republicans have enough stuff in their

611
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: own party to want it to happen. It's going to

612
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 2: be back in our lives again.

613
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: Perfect time for the freedom loving quote of the day,

614
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: based on Trump saying we need to get rid of

615
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: paper or mail in ballots. I thought i'd go with

616
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: the series quotes about voting. Why not start off with

617
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: the granddaddy of them all. We're gonna start with the

618
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: showstopper Weston Churchill. The best argument against democracy is a

619
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: five minute conversation.

620
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: With the average voter.

621
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: Eyah, eh, mail bag, rub us a note, mail bag

622
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 3: and armstrung and getty dot com. Here's a nice note

623
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: from alien anonymous. My daughters yard at school last week

624
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: in Oakland, California. On the third day of school, they

625
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: posted this flyer on the bulletin board. Notice that the

626
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: reading is for only pre K through first graders. It

627
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: is a drag queen presenting to the little kids. Everyone

628
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: can make their own rainbow. Also because they announced they

629
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: will lot to have freaking believable I was disgusted by

630
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 3: this rights aleen. Also because they noticed they will not

631
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: be doing a Grandparent's Day this year, since some kids

632
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: have no grandparents and feel left out, we decided to

633
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: keep our daughter out of school the entire week as

634
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: a protest. Since they rely so much on attendance for funding,

635
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 3: I may be blackballed for the community that I want

636
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: to stand for what's right, and then mentions our conversation

637
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: yesterday and says, I'm.

638
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Going to stand up and say what I believe.

639
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: Hopefully a preference cascade takes hold here after you have

640
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: preference falsification and people realize, wait a minute, I'm just

641
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 3: going to say what I believe, and then they find

642
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: out everybody agrees with me. That's what's own is a

643
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: preference cascade.

644
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

645
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: I can understand why people don't know, because I mean,

646
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: you're hanging around with the other parents at the park,

647
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: at the playground after school. You don't want to be

648
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: the pariah or enemies with these people.

649
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: But that is incredible.

650
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: So you eliminate Grandparents' Day because some kids don't have grandparents,

651
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: but you're willing to have every kid exposed to the

652
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: drag queen crap right.

653
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unbelievable. I know. We need to shut down

654
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: our entire education system.

655

Speaker 3: the increasing threat of communism in the US and to

665
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: its allies, the economic industrial political events that have preceded

666
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: communist revolutions, and the communist policies at Cuba, and the

667
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 3: spread of communist ideologies throughout Latin America. Good for you, Flora,

668
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,439

Speaker 1: Michael? Oh, this is so good? Do I have time for?

670
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: It's from Zach reading from the Book of Gavin.

671
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,080

Speaker 3: past was called twitter, and lo the people did marvel,

674
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: for the saying was spread abroad. Behold thy savior hath

675
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 3: arisen among thee. And they lifted up their voice and cried, surely, surely,

676
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom of California's risen yea, even as the Christ

677
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: of old. And then the people rejoiced and spake to

678
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 3: one another, saying, behold, he shall deliver us from the

679

Speaker 3: not the cry of the poor, neither of the multitude

684
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 3: of the homeless, nor the plague of strange powders and needles.

685
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: Neither considered they the broken hideways, nor the grievous cost

686
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: of bread and dwelling.

687
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,120
