Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong and
Speaker 1: Jetty and he Armstrong and Jetty period attack.
Speaker 2: That would be the biggest attack since you were old
Speaker 2: courts well period of attack. That would be the biggest
Speaker 2: attack since you wor old courts here and you could
Speaker 2: have been disasters.
Speaker 1: And they didn't want us to do it, and at
Speaker 1: frankly so do Araby didn't want it either. You thought
Speaker 1: that the deal is evidence.
Speaker 3: If I would have gotten you an anniversary gift, it
Speaker 3: would have been the greatest gift you ever got.
Speaker 1: If I would have.
Speaker 3: What you would have done isn't really that uh impressive
Speaker 3: unless you've ever done it. We're actually ever doing it,
Speaker 3: point Trump saying that attack. So I thought it was
Speaker 3: actually gonna happen. I thought it was go time. New
Speaker 3: York Times had a story I think Friday, where he
Speaker 3: and net and Yahood had a conversation, Okay, here's where
Speaker 3: we're going.
Speaker 1: We're going big.
Speaker 3: This is it's up, this is hitting the fan, and
Speaker 3: then Trump pulls the plug.
Speaker 1: Here's Tree inks to Fox on.
Speaker 4: That President Trump calling off planned strikes against Iran, as
Speaker 4: he says a deal is close. According to the President,
Speaker 4: talks are set to resume today aimed at finalizing a
Speaker 4: deal related to the Strait of hor Moves. The President
Speaker 4: says he was asked by Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi
Speaker 4: Arabia to hold off as diplomatic efforts play out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there are no details of this supposed deal.
Speaker 3: While the Wall Street Journal editorial board puts it in
Speaker 3: quotes today Trump's latest Iran deal that they put in
Speaker 3: quotes because he can't keep calling talking about a deal
Speaker 3: over and over again.
Speaker 1: While un mockingly put it in all caps too.
Speaker 3: Because there are no details of when, who where negotiators.
Speaker 3: There's anyway Trump mentioned the perimeters. He said, I assume
Speaker 3: he met parameters in the truth social post of a deal.
Speaker 3: But it's the stuff he always says that.
Speaker 5: They just said eminent instead of imminent in that clip too.
Speaker 5: Come on, now, he'll it's the usual.
Speaker 3: They'll they'll give up their nukes, and the Straight of
Speaker 3: horn Moves will be completely open without tolls and and
Speaker 3: all the really nice stuff.
Speaker 5: And immediate, complete and total opening of the Strait is
Speaker 5: part of the perimeters of the deal.
Speaker 1: So here's the Wall Street Journal a little snarky.
Speaker 3: A friend quipped the other day that President Trump truly
Speaker 3: deserves a Nobel Peace Prize because he's already ended the
Speaker 3: Iran war eight times. Will the ninth time be the charm?
Speaker 3: After his latest decision to call off a military escalation
Speaker 3: in search of a deal.
Speaker 1: With the revolutionary regime.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I my chin actually hit my chests when the
Speaker 3: news broke on Saturday afternoon or whatever that Trump calls
Speaker 3: off attack. I thought, oh my god, I can't believe,
Speaker 3: because this time I thought.
Speaker 1: I mean, there is nobody would cry wolf again, and
Speaker 1: not to that level.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how he doesn't see the way this
Speaker 3: is being received by Iran, the voting public, everyone just like, dude,
Speaker 3: this is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, all Iran has to do is shout out
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, we're willing to make a deal.
Speaker 5: Yeah if the if the deal is right, yeah, we'll
Speaker 5: open the straight absolutely end of the week at the latest. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we'll open the straight all right, all right, all right,
Speaker 5: all right, we'll call off the attack.
Speaker 1: It's okay, And that's all it takes.
Speaker 3: And then Trump says something like they saw how hard
Speaker 3: we were about to hit him, and they begged me
Speaker 3: for a deal.
Speaker 1: No they didn't, No, they didn't.
Speaker 3: And you know what's gonna happen today, like this hour
Speaker 3: or tomorrow. They're going to fire a bunch of rockets
Speaker 3: at one of our bases, trying to kill a bunch
Speaker 3: of our soldiers to show you just how much they
Speaker 3: give a.
Speaker 1: Crap about what they just said to you. Almost guaranteed
Speaker 1: that's what happens every single time. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 5: The business end of that editorial to me was the
Speaker 5: last part. They point out that it's clear since Trump
Speaker 5: agreed to a ceasefire in April that he wants out
Speaker 5: of the War's worried about the economic problems or becoming
Speaker 5: the next Herbert Hoover, as he's put it, wants lower
Speaker 5: gas prices for the mid terms, and Iran's regime knows
Speaker 5: signals of weakness when it hears them. It's interpreted the
Speaker 5: portly drafted MoU is an opening to let it control
Speaker 5: the straight and has kept taunting mister Trump with attacks
Speaker 5: in the US allies and basis. Iran knows Trump is
Speaker 5: sounded by surrounded by advisors who didn't want the president
Speaker 5: to erect I'm sorry, I need to slow.
Speaker 1: The hell down.
Speaker 5: Didn't want the president to attack Iran at all, and
Speaker 5: now want the conflict over on nearly any available terms.
Speaker 3: The terms can include them getting a nuclear weapon, but
Speaker 3: cannot cannot. Okay, we just cannot.
Speaker 1: Although given the fact that he's drawn these red lines
Speaker 1: over and over again and then erase them, maybe he'll
Speaker 1: change his mind on that too, as sure as hell
Speaker 1: hope not. Ian Bremmer tweeted out over the weekend. Iranian
Speaker 1: leaders are surely convinced at this point that President Trump really,
Speaker 1: really really doesn't want to further escalate the war.
Speaker 3: I'd be the only thing you could take from this
Speaker 3: is this guy is going to back down, especially if
Speaker 3: we pretend that you've frightened us this time. Oh boy,
Speaker 3: this time when you said the worst of Texans world
Speaker 3: War two. That got my attention. So yep, we're no
Speaker 3: more nuclear weapon and has JD Vance won. You know
Speaker 3: what's cool is these guys realize that being at war
Speaker 3: with us the last half century is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: That's what's cool. Turned over a new leaf. Goodfellas.
Speaker 5: Really, when you get to know them and look, maybe
Speaker 5: you're sitting there thinking, well, we set their nuclear program
Speaker 5: back to further decimated, would probably take too much time, money,
Speaker 5: and manpower.
Speaker 1: And I'm no warmonger.
Speaker 5: Let's good, and then reopened the strait somehow. You know,
Speaker 5: that's not a bad point of view. The fact is,
Speaker 5: right now, Iran controls escalation. Iran decides which direction this
Speaker 5: war is going, not the United States of America, and
Speaker 5: that's not good. Oh and the other thing is and
Speaker 5: I'm sure Mark Rubio's in the president's here, whether he's
Speaker 5: being hurt or not. Oman and Saudi and Iran came
Speaker 5: to him and said, no, no, no, don't launch the
Speaker 5: gigantic attack. Diplomacy is about to work. Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: sure we can make it work.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 5: Surely he understands that our so called allies in the region,
Speaker 5: and some of them are decent allies, they have different
Speaker 5: goals and different stomach for cost than we do, and
Speaker 5: we can't dance to their tune. They are the tale,
Speaker 5: we are the dog. But that's not the way it
Speaker 5: seems to be shaping up.
Speaker 3: You also kind of YadA YadA to reopen the strait there, right,
Speaker 3: how's that gonna happen without them charging tolls right. Another
Speaker 3: angle of this we didn't talk about much, but some
Speaker 3: of my favorite podcaster writer people were really worried when
Speaker 3: Trump announced we are going to let Saudi Arabia enrich peacefully,
Speaker 3: because it's kind of an all or nothing thing. You're
Speaker 3: either a country that has the facilities to enrich uranium
Speaker 3: or you're not, and currently Saudi Arabia is not. But
Speaker 3: if you give them a peaceful program, all of a
Speaker 3: sudden they have the equipment to a rich uranium and
Speaker 3: the decision to go from peaceful levels of enrichment to
Speaker 3: making a bomb levels of enrichment.
Speaker 1: Is just a choice they make.
Speaker 3: They got all the stuff at the point, at the
Speaker 3: point that that you know, you give them the peaceful program.
Speaker 5: It's a really really big deal. And nobody's quite sure
Speaker 5: what we got out of that deal or where it
Speaker 5: came from.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it has to be a threat of
Speaker 3: some sort of although I don't understand quite the math
Speaker 3: on this that hey, Saudi Arabia is going to get
Speaker 3: a bomb. Doesn't that make Iran dig in more on
Speaker 3: we gotta have a bomb.
Speaker 1: As opposed to less? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And then I've always been because I've read this
Speaker 3: for years. I don't know it's true enough, but people
Speaker 3: have always said Saudi Arabia has basically got a bomb
Speaker 3: packed in Pakistan, parked in Pakistan anyway, that's a screwdriver
Speaker 3: turn away from them getting if they ever need it.
Speaker 3: It's been the belief for years. Several countries around the
Speaker 3: world are in that situation because of that period in
Speaker 3: what late eighties, early nineties, when that aq Kan guy
Speaker 3: in North Korea and Pakistan and all these people got
Speaker 3: the bomb, that there are a few options out there
Speaker 3: for people. But why we would allow Saudi Arabia to
Speaker 3: start enriching uranium.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that helps us any Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I truly don't know.
Speaker 5: I can usually cook up two or three possible outcomes
Speaker 5: of a situation or a conflict. This one I'm just missed.
Speaker 5: I have no idea how this sends, no idea.
Speaker 3: I mean it when I say I'm embarrassed for him.
Speaker 3: To me, it's like when you watch a comedian bombing
Speaker 3: and I feel like I feel the pain of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Trump making these strong threats and then backing off and
Speaker 3: then acting like he got something out of it embarrasses
Speaker 3: me for him oh yeah, and the country, please stop
Speaker 3: doing that. I knew I had a strongly worded article
Speaker 3: somewhere here.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 1: This is from the New York Times. So grant assault.
Speaker 5: But for Iran, Trump's reversal on escalation shows who has
Speaker 5: the upper hand.
Speaker 1: That's their headline.
Speaker 5: By extending, by expanding the arena of fighting in the region,
Speaker 5: experts say Tehran sent a warning about the dangers of
Speaker 5: widening war. When President Trump appeared to back down once
Speaker 5: again from a threatened military escalation against TEHRANI offered fresh
Speaker 5: fodder to the narrative. Iranian officials are eager to promote
Speaker 5: they are the ones. I'm sorry, they are not the
Speaker 5: ones who fear or mister Trump is. In fact, the
Speaker 5: Iranian leadership came up and said bring it on. They
Speaker 5: came out and said we're ready for war and we
Speaker 5: won't back down.
Speaker 3: So this has happened in several administrations, both parties. Now
Speaker 3: for a while where whoever we're fighting, we seem to
Speaker 3: be more scared of them. We're more scared of escalation
Speaker 3: than they are. As the biggest stick on planet Earth,
Speaker 3: biggest stick anybody's ever seen, I guess because we're afraid
Speaker 3: to use our stick or where it might go, I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 5: And again, mindless war mongering is not what we're about here.
Speaker 5: But just to take apart the dynamics of that, we
Speaker 5: are much much more sensitive to the negatives of war
Speaker 5: than they are. I mean, the ier GC doesn't give
Speaker 5: a damn about the economy or the suffering of its people,
Speaker 5: and they believe they can withstand the purely military aspect
Speaker 5: of being attacked. So quote, we have no problem with
Speaker 5: war at all, and we're ready for the big confrontation.
Speaker 5: Trump told the Iranians, I will hit the power in Iran.
Speaker 5: So the Iranians said, if you strike, we strike. Do
Speaker 5: your worst.
Speaker 1: Man. What's going on behind closed doors?
Speaker 3: There was a report that NBC reported last week that
Speaker 3: Trump was screaming at all his advisors, why can't you
Speaker 3: come up with a way to get me out of
Speaker 3: it at this or how'd you get me into it?
Speaker 1: Or whatever.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true or not. It's got
Speaker 3: to be on his mind a lot every single day,
Speaker 3: how this is going to play out.
Speaker 1: Or something like that. Sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, In fact, if that's not being discussed in heated
Speaker 5: tones in the White House, what the hell are we
Speaker 5: doing here, It.
Speaker 3: Would be the it would have been the largest military
Speaker 3: What was the exact phrasing he used about the biggest,
Speaker 3: biggest since World War Two?
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a thing to say.
Speaker 5: Back to an Iran expert, Well, let's see who is
Speaker 5: this talking former senior or a senior Iranian government official
Speaker 5: and professor of Iranian studies at the University of Tehran.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 5: Whenever their messages are exchanged, mister Trump starts to pressurize
Speaker 5: the situation by threatening Iran so we can try to
Speaker 5: get further concessions. But Iran is not so easily manipulated.
Speaker 3: And I'll throw in this caveat so it doesn't sound
Speaker 3: like I'm just on a Trump bashing kick. I think
Speaker 3: it was a good idea to act when we did.
Speaker 3: We need to stop Ouran from getting a bomb. I'm
Speaker 3: glad Trump believes that. I think putting it off, why
Speaker 3: would you put it off. They're the weakest they've ever been.
Speaker 3: The follow through has been pretty iffy, but I really
Speaker 3: hate it over the weekend when he was asked about
Speaker 3: and I'm sure we have the clip somewhere, but he's
Speaker 3: asked about Iran hacking into those water facilities and Minnesota.
Speaker 3: And he said he doesn't believe Ran did it. He
Speaker 3: believed Minnesota is just so effed up and mismanaged.
Speaker 1: It was them.
Speaker 3: Why when our intelligence is saying Iran is hacking into
Speaker 3: our water facilities, would he cover for Iran?
Speaker 1: I think he don't.
Speaker 3: I think he was looking at it that way. I
Speaker 3: don't think he was trying to cover for Iran. He
Speaker 3: just likes taking a shot at Minnesota.
Speaker 5: But we're at war with Iran, and cyber offensives are
Speaker 5: the biggest threat aside from bombs that faces the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the country we're at war with attacked our.
Speaker 3: Various domestic facilities, and he waved it away to.
Speaker 1: Get a partisan shot and against Minnesota. Oh that's a
Speaker 1: good idea.
Speaker 5: Look, even if you're a big Trump fan, and we're
Speaker 5: certainly big, big, big fans of some of the things
Speaker 5: Trump has done and some of the policies, and and
Speaker 5: by god, if they hadn't come along, I hate to
Speaker 5: even think of how awful it would have gotten. This
Speaker 5: does not feel like something that's trending toward better, more efficient,
Speaker 5: more coherent, you know, just clicking on all cylinders feels
Speaker 5: like the opposite to me.
Speaker 1: No telling where this war is going though. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you can't make another one of those threats. Though. You
Speaker 1: just can't. You can't. This will be the mother of
Speaker 1: all battles.
Speaker 3: I got their attention this time. They're scared. They want
Speaker 3: to make a deal.
Speaker 1: Dude, you're the deal maker. Ah, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: The last time they said this, they killed a bunch
Speaker 3: of our soldiers. Ope, they don't this time. Any thoughts
Speaker 3: on that. Maybe you're mad at us, maybe you're mad
Speaker 3: at Trump. Maybe you're just despondent in general text line
Speaker 3: four one five two nine five kftc.
Speaker 7: Rosie O'Donnell claims she's never experienced side effects of taking
Speaker 7: the weight loss drug Munjaro, claiming she's always had bad
Speaker 7: breath in diarrhea.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's some.
Speaker 3: So on Fridays, Greg Guttfeld like has his worst jokes
Speaker 3: of the week or whatever is that what it is?
Speaker 1: Hanson?
Speaker 3: He like the most tasteless, a edgy that he wasn't
Speaker 3: sure he could get away with all week, and he
Speaker 3: does them on Friday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the leftover jokes that didn't get used. It's
Speaker 1: a good bit. Yeah, to do it a Friday.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's that that tone was less than I'm sophisticated.
Speaker 3: Well, and sometimes it's just like meanness, Like there's not
Speaker 3: even a tip to tip your cat toward humor tech.
Speaker 1: It's just like you're ugly. It's like the joke. Let
Speaker 1: me hear a number four.
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris has moved into a rich community that has
Speaker 7: no diversity. In her defense, she pointed to a bottle
Speaker 7: of Johnny Walker black.
Speaker 3: His ongoing coma was a drunk humor Oh my god, Hey,
Speaker 3: we got several texts. Uh, we got several aren't you guys,
Speaker 3: Why aren't you guys more happy that Trump's avoiding a
Speaker 3: bigger war?
Speaker 1: So we got some of those. We also got.
Speaker 3: Someone in Trump's fear is making a fortune buying and
Speaker 3: selling oil futures. That's what the constant waffling is all about.
Speaker 3: It does go up and down, oils back down. White
Speaker 3: a bit today or over the weekend. In the early
Speaker 3: trading after he called off the attack, we got this.
Speaker 3: We were talking about the WNBA earlier. Sophie Cunningham got
Speaker 3: elbowed in the mouth and bled all over and there
Speaker 3: was no foul. I'm not sure it was a foul
Speaker 3: anything so anyway, I'm not a scientist, so I don't
Speaker 3: know what the W and WNBA stands for, which is
Speaker 3: pretty funny because that has been testimony in oh some
Speaker 3: court cases.
Speaker 5: I've got a great comment on that very thing. We'll
Speaker 5: do it next segment.
Speaker 3: And we got this because I mentioned I'm on prednazone
Speaker 3: and so I ate like a ridiculous person over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Jack always says he doesn't care if people know his
Speaker 3: medical info, hippa keeping it quiet, but won't tell us
Speaker 3: why he's on predna Zone.
Speaker 1: It's an STD, isn't it.
Speaker 3: No, it's not an I had some crystals in my
Speaker 3: inner ear that were calling causing me balance problems, which
Speaker 3: is not an old person thing. I guess it happened
Speaker 3: some people. It happens their whole lives, which would suck.
Speaker 3: It's the first time it's ever happened to me. It
Speaker 3: just happened anywhere. It's some crystals like get loose in
Speaker 3: your ear canals after a cold, and they make your
Speaker 3: world tilt.
Speaker 5: Boy, it's amazing how many things are cured by pregnant zone.
Speaker 3: It is also steals also cures thinness if you have
Speaker 3: that problem, because it makes you so danged hungry.
Speaker 1: Good God if you missed the segment of the podcast.
Speaker 1: So I'm strong and Getty on the man, I'm strong
Speaker 1: and Getty. It's not related discussion we really have in our
Speaker 1: locker room.
Speaker 4: I think it's for leagues and the governing bodies to
Speaker 4: work with their athletes to find solutions.
Speaker 1: But our focus is on basketball and that's what we talk.
Speaker 4: About and how we can get wins, and obviously we
Speaker 4: didn't do that tonight, so in to find an area
Speaker 4: to improve.
Speaker 2: In that way.
Speaker 3: So that is Caitlin Clark, one of the biggest sports
Speaker 3: stars in America. Not a sport I watch or care
Speaker 3: much about, but this whole social political moment that's happening
Speaker 3: around this it's pretty damned interesting. By the way. Caitlin Clark,
Speaker 3: who uh has been injured all year long. So while
Speaker 3: she didn't miss many games, she's been dealing with injuries.
Speaker 3: She's back to healthy now. She exploded for forty five
Speaker 3: points the other night, forty five points and tenni assists,
Speaker 3: and since in and there.
Speaker 1: She's just getting attention because she's white and straight.
Speaker 3: In the WNBA anyway, over the last five games, now
Speaker 3: that she's healthy again, She's averaging thirty points, nine assists,
Speaker 3: four rebounds of two steals, shooting fifty six percent from
Speaker 3: the field, which is not anyway. I was pretty impressed
Speaker 3: by the stuff she said in the press conference.
Speaker 1: Her and U Maga, Barbie.
Speaker 3: Sophie they call it Runningham Sophie Cunningham, who's her enforcer,
Speaker 3: on how they're both like, we're trying to ignore the
Speaker 3: whole trans discussion, and the whole is Caitlin Clark being
Speaker 3: white and straight and everything. All we talk about in
Speaker 3: the locker. She said, we never talk about this stuff.
Speaker 3: All we talk about is we're playing next and strategy
Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You're all talking about it, we.
Speaker 3: Aren't paying any attention to it, which I thought is
Speaker 3: probably a good idea.
Speaker 5: And the reporter tried to follow up, and she said,
Speaker 5: I answer to your question. Yeah, Sophie Cunningham has merely
Speaker 5: said I don't think boys should play in girls' sports,
Speaker 5: and for that she's being pilloried and targeted and called
Speaker 5: all sorts of terrible things. In fact, here's the links
Speaker 5: that's a WNBA team linked coach Cheryl Reeve.
Speaker 3: A narrative that I think that is problematic is to
Speaker 3: suggest that.
Speaker 1: Number one, that transgender athletes are the biggest problem in
Speaker 1: women's sports. And I think this is what's bother some.
Speaker 3: Is that there's a faction of people in our country
Speaker 3: that are making this a massive issue.
Speaker 1: We have some issues. Number one, we need to protect
Speaker 1: trans kids, every kid. Well, to me, it's a humans
Speaker 1: rights issue.
Speaker 5: Okay, so nice job she's into arts and crafts because
Speaker 5: she built a nice straw man that knocked it down. No,
Speaker 5: nobody's saying it's the biggest issue in women's sports or
Speaker 5: it's a huge issue per se. No, but it's a
Speaker 5: big issue if you are the dad of a girl,
Speaker 5: or the coach of a girl, or the girl itself,
Speaker 5: or a woman being having the hell beat out of
Speaker 5: you by a man. And it all stems from the
Speaker 5: neo Marxist critical theory thing, which we've talked about a
Speaker 5: million year, you know, a million times about how no,
Speaker 5: there's no such thing as men and women. That's a
Speaker 5: social construct. And you get to decide that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: We don't need to go down this road again. But
Speaker 3: I'm about to on the reality of this. I ain't
Speaker 3: even bringing this up because it sounds like you're bashing
Speaker 3: women's athleticism or something. But the fastest woman in world
Speaker 3: history flow Joe, remember her from the nineteen eighty eight Olympics.
Speaker 3: Her one hundred meter dash speed still stands as the
Speaker 3: fastest any woman has ever run in world history. A
Speaker 3: thousand high school boys beat it this year. Thousand high
Speaker 3: school boys beat it this year, a going on forty
Speaker 3: year old women's record. So that idea, somebody sent a
Speaker 3: good text earlier, the Indiana fever. That's Caitlin Clark and
Speaker 3: Sophie Cunningham's team. They should replace the other three with
Speaker 3: dudes and just run rough shot over the league.
Speaker 1: Right right. That would make the point, wouldn't it so?
Speaker 5: And then there're a statement about we just want to
Speaker 5: make it safe for trans kids. Be there for trans kids.
Speaker 5: There's no such thing as a trans kid in my world.
Speaker 5: You have effeminate boys, you have butch girls, you have
Speaker 5: gay kids, you have confused kids. You have kids swept
Speaker 5: down the conveyor belt of activism by adults that surround
Speaker 5: them in online influencers. Those kids are confused. You don't
Speaker 5: get to say they're a trans kid because that begs
Speaker 5: the question that leaps to the end of the argument.
Speaker 1: It answers the question with the question.
Speaker 5: Whether they are indeed a girl trapped in a boy's
Speaker 5: body is the question we're here to answer.
Speaker 1: And you're saying, well, of course they are, and I'm saying, no,
Speaker 1: they're not.
Speaker 5: I will not even use the term trans kid, because
Speaker 5: that assumes the correctness of what you're asserting. Does everybody
Speaker 5: get what I'm saying. You're acting like it's a knowable thing.
Speaker 5: If a nine year old says, you know, I'm kind
Speaker 5: of effeminate, I like to play with dolls, I'll bet
Speaker 5: I'm trans because they saw it online. That doesn't prove
Speaker 5: they're freaking anything. Proves they're a kid. A kid will
Speaker 5: say a monsterrate the cookies and mean it. So.
Speaker 3: Is Caitlin Clark tied into the trans issue at all?
Speaker 3: Or is she just being a teammate of Sophie Cunningham
Speaker 3: and the protesters are called her to it. I don't
Speaker 3: think she has, but I think she's what do you think, Hanson?
Speaker 3: Is she anything to do with that or nothing to
Speaker 3: do with that? She's controversial because she's straight and white
Speaker 3: and got voted eleventh best guard league by the players
Speaker 3: and all that nonsense. Yeah, horrible, but they got the
Speaker 3: she shows up, they draw the biggest crowds of any
Speaker 3: team in the league by far, everywhere they go, and
Speaker 3: the people in the stands are outside that I don't
Speaker 3: know if you saw the protests outside the arena yesterday
Speaker 3: when they all showed up, it was all trans stuff.
Speaker 1: So she's kind of sucked into it, whether she likes
Speaker 1: it or not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Sophie Cunningham's, you know, again a leader by
Speaker 5: just saying, look, I don't think there should be guys
Speaker 5: in girls' sports, which made her some sort of wild standout.
Speaker 3: Well, this isn't going away because Skip Bayless writes for
Speaker 3: Yahoo Sports and he's a bomb chucker, controversial sports analyst dude.
Speaker 3: But he said Caitlin Clark is about to become a
Speaker 3: giant problem for the WNBA because of her injuries. They
Speaker 3: were like in the basement, but now they're on a tear,
Speaker 3: and he said it's the hottest team in the league
Speaker 3: with her looking like the league MVP.
Speaker 1: If they go on a championship tear or like make
Speaker 1: it to.
Speaker 3: The finals, this is going to be a huge problem
Speaker 3: for the WNBA because this is going to just grow
Speaker 3: in attention and protests and owners and players speaking and
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 1: I think that would be great. I think it'd be
Speaker 1: great too.
Speaker 5: Got this note from Paolo which I appreciated about the
Speaker 5: WNBA folks. They've been cloistered in their woke bubble for
Speaker 5: a long time. Nobody who cared noticed their policies or
Speaker 5: the politics. Now they're getting the beginning of scrutiny by
Speaker 5: folks outside the bubble, the very people they need to
Speaker 5: have any hope of earning the kind of money they
Speaker 5: think they deserve. The problem isn't their trans policy, it's
Speaker 5: their lack of one. Their current position leaves most of
Speaker 5: the important questions unanswered, presumably because whatever answers they give
Speaker 5: are going to make somebody unhappy to wit. The WNB
Speaker 5: is the only public statement on the issue, says only
Speaker 5: that to play in the WNBA, an applicant must be
Speaker 5: a woman. No definition of what a woman is or
Speaker 5: how womanhood is determined, and I can think of no
Speaker 5: criterion that wouldn't be controversial. Consider WNBA player Lesia Clarendon,
Speaker 5: who was born female, had top surgery the transuphemism for
Speaker 5: a double misstectomy of healthy breasts, and now identify trans
Speaker 5: non binary not woman. So she's not a woman. She
Speaker 5: says she's not a woman, but they don't want to
Speaker 5: make her ineligible to play, so they can't say that
Speaker 5: an applicant must identify as a woman. Plus, self identification
Speaker 5: brings another problem. It permits anyone to play. So obviously,
Speaker 5: when you bring the woke crowd up against reality, they'll
Speaker 5: admit that their point of view doesn't make any sense
Speaker 5: because this woman does not identify as a woman according
Speaker 5: to their own ideology. That means she's no longer a woman.
Speaker 5: You've got to eject her from the WNBA.
Speaker 1: But of course they.
Speaker 5: Don't because she's a chick. She's a chick with no
Speaker 5: breasts now, but she's still a chick.
Speaker 1: It's hard to square that circle.
Speaker 5: And a dude who gets implants and hormones and fashions
Speaker 5: themselves a nice set of bigtails is still a dude.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Ah, need somebody to somebody who you know they
Speaker 3: ride the bench for an NBA team, men's NBA team,
Speaker 3: or didn't make the league. They're playing in Europe right now.
Speaker 3: Somebody has got to make them put them in an
Speaker 3: awful position. One of these owners who's hardcore, you know,
Speaker 3: there's no such thing as a woman or trans Israela
Speaker 3: or whatever. Right, make a big deal out of the fact,
Speaker 3: Hey I'm eligible, Let me play for your team I'm
Speaker 3: a woman, and make them say no or yes, and
Speaker 3: put him on the team and have him just dominate,
Speaker 3: which he would just for two three.
Speaker 5: Of them win every game by seventy five points for
Speaker 5: like a month, block every shot. Yeah, yeah, that would
Speaker 5: you know, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: I wish somebody would do that. I mean, it'd be.
Speaker 5: Something you'd have to have the right people who would
Speaker 5: be willing to do this. But I think that would
Speaker 5: settle the question and for all anyway, So again, activist
Speaker 5: coach RYL Reeve of the Links. No, it's not the
Speaker 5: biggest problem in the world. Of course it's not. But
Speaker 5: it's about fairness to girls and women in sports. But secondly,
Speaker 5: it's just one aspect of the utterly horrific experiments being
Speaker 5: done on confused and alienated and autistic children. That's what's
Speaker 5: at the heart of this. You want to ignore the
Speaker 5: sports question, say what's important is we protect transgender children.
Speaker 5: I have the opposite point of view. I will let
Speaker 5: you have dudes in your league. I don't care. I
Speaker 5: will just turn the other cheek, and you know, let
Speaker 5: the players worry about themselves if we can agree not
Speaker 5: to abuse any more children.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in a pro league with grown ups, go ahead
Speaker 3: and knock yourself out. Run the experiment, right, it works?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Literally.
Speaker 3: I had another comment on this. What was it the
Speaker 3: boys playa I don't remember what it was, darn it.
Speaker 3: I was looking forward to it. What'd you say just
Speaker 3: before that? I really really had something to say.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I say so many things, the.
Speaker 3: Boys and the girls and the Sophie Cunningham, and oh,
Speaker 3: just the idea that the uh, this is such a
Speaker 3: weird thing in that it's a.
Speaker 1: It's like a ninety ten issue.
Speaker 3: But the ten side gets to make really really strong
Speaker 3: accusatory statements and the ninety percent side says very tepid,
Speaker 3: barely acknowledge it statements. And they're the ones that become
Speaker 3: the lightning rod.
Speaker 5: Right, because they're still afraid of being called a bigot. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Sophie Cunningham stating simply and clearly something that is ninety
Speaker 5: ten believed the known in America became a lightning rod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and doesn't all the talk about it.
Speaker 3: It's not like she's wearing an out with trans t
Speaker 3: shirt every day or made it her cause. Somebody asked
Speaker 3: she told them, She says, I'm not interested in talking
Speaker 3: about this anymore.
Speaker 1: It's not like a She's not like a what's her name?
Speaker 3: The swimmer girl who we like, uh Riley Gaines is
Speaker 3: where she's taken it on as a cause, which good
Speaker 3: for her.
Speaker 1: She should.
Speaker 5: But Sophie Cumming Aham's not doing that, She admits. How
Speaker 5: the left wins. That's how they win these arguments because
Speaker 5: they are absolutely willing to bully people.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we got the answer. Now we figured it out.
Speaker 3: Some dude who can who now needs to put one
Speaker 3: of these owners in an uncomfortable position. Why won't you
Speaker 3: let me be on the team. Let me try out.
Speaker 3: I think I'll qualify. I think you'll find me a
Speaker 3: good enough player.
Speaker 5: Right, Maybe you're a quote unquote trans dude. You'd be
Speaker 5: the perfect number one, you'd be the perfect test case
Speaker 5: and number two. Have your agents signed you a contract
Speaker 5: with incentives her points, score, rebounds, grab that sort of thing, dude,
Speaker 5: you I'm sorry, madam, you will make more money in
Speaker 5: basketball than you have your entire career up till now.
Speaker 5: If you get a good contract.
Speaker 3: I prefer a center, somebody about seven foot, three hundred pounds.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, just slamming dunks down in the face.
Speaker 1: I don't anybody get hurt.
Speaker 3: I just think blocking every single shot would be hilarious.
Speaker 3: So where every game is something to zero, because I
Speaker 3: don't see how you'd get off a shot.
Speaker 1: Chat move that ball.
Speaker 3: That might be a free throw here and there. Although
Speaker 3: based on those highlights I saw from the All Star Game,
Speaker 3: maybe that's mean. I shouldn't have said.
Speaker 1: That's mean. That was over the line.
Speaker 3: You're right, that was too much, and I apologize and
Speaker 3: I take it back. We will finish strong next.
Speaker 1: We didn't play this clip. This's got a lot of
Speaker 1: people riled up, though.
Speaker 3: On a CNN Sunday show with Dana Bash, Dana Bash, Danna,
Speaker 3: I always get it.
Speaker 5: Mixed up, she says, Dana, it looks like Dana. I
Speaker 5: think she's pretentious one.
Speaker 3: Anyway, she had on doctor ashish Jah. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you remember his name, you'd know his face as
Speaker 3: you saw him because he was Biden's COVID nineteen response coordinator.
Speaker 3: I mean he had a very very big position during
Speaker 3: that horrible outbreak anyway, he had admitted on CNN yesterday,
Speaker 3: I've come to and conclude that, based on the information available,
Speaker 3: it was a leak from the lab most likely, not certain,
Speaker 3: but most likely. And Matt Tybee, who he really really liked,
Speaker 3: was just beside himself with you don't get to six
Speaker 3: years later come clean on what was obviously the most
Speaker 3: likely thing and get credit for it. And hey, CNN,
Speaker 3: you don't get credit for allowing somebody to say that
Speaker 3: on the air six years later, when you would like
Speaker 3: let anybody say it before.
Speaker 1: Exactly give us twenty minutes.
Speaker 5: We'll come up with all sorts of tape of Dana
Speaker 5: Bash and Jake Tapper and others excoriating, practically cursing anybody
Speaker 5: who dared promote the Lab leak conspiracy online. And that's
Speaker 5: the sort of misinformation disinformation that should get you kicked
Speaker 5: off of social media and silenced. I had to make
Speaker 5: great Nazis a lot of those CNN people really good.
Speaker 1: Effect of Nazis anyway was highly troubling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, insane, I got something good for the One More
Speaker 3: Thing podcast. We do another little segment after this four
Speaker 3: hour radio show that doesn't air on any radio station,
Speaker 3: and sometimes as swears because they don't dare. But I
Speaker 3: went to a State Fair hypnotist. I want to talk
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 1: Also. I called nine to one one again yesterday and
Speaker 1: thought I.
Speaker 3: Was going to be in a fight, close enough to
Speaker 3: be in a fight that I had to cancel what
Speaker 3: I was doing because I was so adrenaline work, had
Speaker 3: so much adrenaline worked up that I was You know,
Speaker 3: when you get prepared for a fight like that, it's
Speaker 3: hard to calm back down. Sure, yeah, with a guy
Speaker 3: who was threatening his wife. So I'll have to tell
Speaker 3: that story on the One More Thing podcast, So stay
Speaker 3: tuned for that.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you get into more near scrapes than I did.
Speaker 1: I don't. Well. I try not to leave my home.
Speaker 1: That helps.
Speaker 3: I think part of it is people's willingness to just
Speaker 3: ignore this stuff and I can't.
Speaker 1: I think that's part of it.
Speaker 3: In this weird culture we live in, where somebody's telling
Speaker 3: me the other day I was having this conversation about
Speaker 3: this sort of thing, is just maybe our brains have
Speaker 3: lost the ability to differentiate between clips we see TikTok clips,
Speaker 3: YouTube clips or whatever, and real life, so they're all
Speaker 3: just kind of blurring together. We see all kinds of
Speaker 3: wild fights and crap all the time on our phones,
Speaker 3: and then we see it in real life, and it's
Speaker 3: just another.
Speaker 1: Thing we're observing.
Speaker 3: We don't have a role in it as society to say, hey,
Speaker 3: stop that or call.
Speaker 1: Nine one one or anything.
Speaker 5: Not only that, but you'd almost never see that sort
Speaker 5: of thing in your life, and so when you did
Speaker 5: see it, it would really strike right. So the exceptional
Speaker 5: has become the mundane as well.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the very least, we have to be desensitized
Speaker 3: to seeing that sort of thing, no doubt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well I had a great point to make
Speaker 5: about Samuel Peppis whose famous Diary of the sixteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: This is one of the great peeps. How do you
Speaker 1: get peeps out of that? I don't know.
Speaker 5: The Middle Ages, nobody knew how to spell ignorant.
Speaker 1: The plague was going on for christ. I never remember
Speaker 1: how to pronounce that. Peeps, peeps.
Speaker 5: You know what I got to remember is that delicious
Speaker 5: Easter time treat that everyone enjoys so much.
Speaker 3: Don't put Samuel Peeps in your microwave to watch him explode.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 6: Another time, eleven score and seventeen minutes ago, Armstrong and
Speaker 6: Getty brought forth upon this nation a new broadcast and
Speaker 6: now final thoughts.
Speaker 1: Okay, here you go.

Speaker 5: pressing the buttons in Michaelangelo's place, Mike Hanson.
Speaker 3: Hanson final thought, completely traumatized by Heather Myers kidney stone story.
Speaker 1: I need oh my therapy. I don't know if I'll
Speaker 1: ever be the same.
Speaker 3: You know, that's a good tease for my final thought
Speaker 3: if you didn't hear that and you have any interest
Speaker 3: in what the procedure is like to get rid of
Speaker 3: a kidney stone. She told that story an hour three
Speaker 3: for the podcast Armstrong and Getty on Demand was more
Speaker 3: frank talk about lady parts in those parts closely adjacent
Speaker 3: to the ladies parts that I often hear.
