Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jettating and he Armstrong and Jetty. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have a particular interest in California being from that state,
Speaker 2: and I we know there's been a lot of fraud.
Speaker 2: There was thirty two point six billion dollars that's been
Speaker 2: confirmed in unemployment insurance fraud. There's one point two million
Speaker 2: fraudulent community college applications. Have you gotten any sense or
Speaker 2: have you seen any signs there that sort of are
Speaker 2: similar to what aroused your suspicions in Minnesota?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And fraud in California might be worse than the
Speaker 3: frauday Minnesota.
Speaker 1: What makes you say.
Speaker 3: That, Well, twenty four billion dollars went missing for homelessness.
Speaker 3: They've been trying to build this train for years, yet
Speaker 3: there's hardly anything to prove for that fire.
Speaker 4: Who that that's the representative Kevin Kylie talking to independent
Speaker 4: journalist Nick Shirley. Is that who's been digging into the
Speaker 4: fraud thing in Minnesota and in California. At a hearing
Speaker 4: in Congress the other day, this is interesting. The next
Speaker 4: few clips, you're going to hear is Joe Pollock of
Speaker 4: the California Post, which is the New York Post's new
Speaker 4: West Coast outpost, talking to Fox and Fiends. But the
Speaker 4: really significant and interesting part to me is that you
Speaker 4: have a non progressive journalism outlet now established in thriving
Speaker 4: as far as I can tell, on the West Coast,
Speaker 4: and how utterly that's going to change the progressive government's
Speaker 4: ability to get away with all of.
Speaker 1: Their crimes and sins in California.
Speaker 5: Absolutely reach out to this specific guy, Hanson. We got
Speaker 5: to get a relationship going with the California Post. We'd
Speaker 5: be perfect for each other and be a marriage made
Speaker 5: in heaven.
Speaker 4: But here is Joe Pollock at California Post talking about
Speaker 4: what Kevin Kyley was asking about.
Speaker 6: Well, the Governor's presided over fraud really as a business
Speaker 6: model in California. This is not the first major fraud
Speaker 6: to come out during Governor Gavin Newsom's administration. During COVID,
Speaker 6: the Unemployment Department in California was defrauded of twenty billion
Speaker 6: dollars in federal funds more than thirty billion dollars overall.
Speaker 6: The money was stolen by international crime syndicates and Julie Sue,
Speaker 6: who directed that department, was promoted. She was the acting
Speaker 6: Labor Secretary in the Biden administration, and now she's in
Speaker 6: New York. She's the Deputy mayor for Economic Justice. And
Speaker 6: that's the culture under Gavin Newsom. There is no punishment
Speaker 6: for fraud. The audits that come back from the state
Speaker 6: auditor are ignored by the legislature. There's no accountability, and
Speaker 6: you simply get promoted you fail up.
Speaker 1: Well, that's not disappointing at all. Here's your essay question.
Speaker 4: Sue, who presided over that enormous theft of taxpayer dollars
Speaker 4: gets promoted to Biden's administration and now is helping run
Speaker 4: New York the economic justice or whatever. Even as a lefty,
Speaker 4: as a progressive, if somebody had presided over that sort
Speaker 4: of waste and abuse of a government program, why would
Speaker 4: you want them?
Speaker 1: I don't know there is an answer to that question.
Speaker 1: Do okay, what's the answer. Then?
Speaker 4: Well, the answer is the first thing Joe Pollock said,
Speaker 4: Newsom has been running California with fraud is the business model.
Speaker 4: It's all spreading out enormous amounts of money.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I guess if you're a bunch of crooks taking money.
Speaker 5: Then I get that, But if you're just an actual
Speaker 5: progressive voter, you shouldn't want this kind of waste.
Speaker 1: That doesn't it doesn't help your cause.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that diconomy or the different layers that I've
Speaker 4: been talking about lately. You've got your activist to your
Speaker 4: hardcore active who know precisely what they're doing, and then
Speaker 4: you've got the nice people who hear the moral arguments
Speaker 4: that those activists make and they think they're being.
Speaker 5: Sincere right, they're not. I wish you could get the
Speaker 5: average progressive voter. You know, if you're looking at a
Speaker 5: dollar a dollar to be as excited about a dollar
Speaker 5: from a wasted program as you are as excited about
Speaker 5: a dollar from a taxpayer. Because you get all excited
Speaker 5: about more taxes for teachers or homeless or whatever. You
Speaker 5: think it is important. You want that dollar, But how
Speaker 5: don't you care about the dollar that's not going toward
Speaker 5: anything good?
Speaker 1: Over here?
Speaker 5: Right with the completely fraudulent bullet trainer whatever got progressive
Speaker 5: should be leading the charge to all of that money
Speaker 5: could be spent on.
Speaker 4: Want to pick your gauze schools, vaccines, whatever you're into. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: the activists Gavin Newsom Julius suit. They're criminals. They are
Speaker 4: absolutely criminals. They're porters or soft heads who fall for
Speaker 4: the false moral argument.
Speaker 6: Next clip, Michael, this is just the tip of the iceberg,
Speaker 6: and you just have to look at how much spending
Speaker 6: there is in California. We now spend twice what we
Speaker 6: spent a decade ago, and yet you don't see public
Speaker 6: services becoming twice as good. You don't see the results
Speaker 6: in the quality of the roads around you or the
Speaker 6: performance of the schools. So if you've got another one
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty hundred and sixty billion dollars going out
Speaker 6: the door, the question is where is it going. Some
Speaker 6: of it is going to government programs that don't work.
Speaker 6: So there's twenty four billion dollars that has been spent
Speaker 6: on homelessness with very little impact, and some of it
Speaker 6: is simply being siphoned off. We have state programs that
Speaker 6: dole out money to vendors and to non government organizations
Speaker 6: that have a lot of overhead, that don't produce results,
Speaker 6: and that happen to have the right political connections. We've
Speaker 6: essentially institutionalized a fraudulent process, and it doesn't produce value,
Speaker 6: nor does it produce any kind of return. We've had
Speaker 6: four years in a row now of budget deficits.
Speaker 4: Did the story not long ago about a bunch of
Speaker 4: it was San Francisco. But it's, you know, just a
Speaker 4: microcosmic California. You have all these different commissions and offices
Speaker 4: and all they do is once in a great while
Speaker 4: they crank out a report for each other. But you've
Speaker 4: got one hundred eight hundred, twenty five hundred people on
Speaker 4: the payroll who will always, always, always vote Democrat.
Speaker 1: That's the scam as hold as politics.
Speaker 5: Hey, California Post, let's work together. Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 5: We're on in the Capitol, We're on in San Francisco,
Speaker 5: We're on in La We're on in San Diego and
Speaker 5: many many other cities across the country. We're perfect together,
Speaker 5: We're perfect riverside. Come on, we'll let you, We'll let
Speaker 5: everybody know that you exist, and they'll read your stuff.
Speaker 6: Last clip, by the way, it's amazing what the state
Speaker 6: does find money to do. The news this morning is
Speaker 6: that Gavin Newsom wants to spend ninety million more dollars
Speaker 6: Planned Parenthood on abortions.
Speaker 1: This in a state with a deficit.
Speaker 6: That's between three billion dollars if you believe Newsome, or
Speaker 6: eighteen billion dollars if you believe the non partisan Legislative
Speaker 6: Analyst's office. But still we find things that we can
Speaker 6: spend money on, like gerrymandering and abortion and suing the
Speaker 6: Trump administration. But somehow we can't improve the services. That's
Speaker 6: a red flag that there must be some fraud going
Speaker 6: on in the system at a systemic level.
Speaker 4: And it's impossible to vote the Democrats out, which is
Speaker 4: the really discouraging part. But we're not here to discourage you,
Speaker 4: and so we will not dwell upon that. That's a good,
Speaker 4: solid report.
Speaker 5: I've got much more discouragement because I want to repeat
Speaker 5: something I at the other day. This is enough to
Speaker 5: make you.
Speaker 1: Give up.
Speaker 5: I mentioned this the other day, so I apologize for
Speaker 5: we heard it before, but I thought it was so good.
Speaker 5: So this woman, Megan mccartill writes for the Washington Post,
Speaker 5: she's also with the Dispatch, made the argument that these
Speaker 5: things never go anywhere, and she went over a whole
Speaker 5: bunch of examples over the many, many, many decades that
Speaker 5: this has happened. Were huge thefts of taxpayer money and
Speaker 5: they become big stories, but nobody ever pays a price,
Speaker 5: and voters just feel the same way. I probably feel
Speaker 5: like that, what are you gonna do? These scandals don't
Speaker 5: have the appropriate penalty at the end. They just don't historically,
Speaker 5: which is very depressing. I believe that's because of the
Speaker 5: Getty mccrdal principle. I'm gonna put myself in front of
Speaker 5: Megan h. People cannot picture and feel they took a
Speaker 5: bunch of my money out of my check and threw
Speaker 5: it away. They get that they took money out of
Speaker 5: the check the government did, and they get that the
Speaker 5: government wastes money or hands it out to crony's, But
Speaker 5: for some reason they don't connect those two you know,
Speaker 5: power lines together and have the right the obvious emotional
Speaker 5: reaction to that, which is just totally partly because you
Speaker 5: have narrowed the tax base intentionally as much as possible
Speaker 5: so that there are never enough taxpayers that are actually
Speaker 5: being stolen from to vote you out of office.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 5: If yeah, like with federal money, if you got half
Speaker 5: of people aren't paying federal income tax, they don't, you
Speaker 5: can't get them worked up about it.
Speaker 1: At all.
Speaker 4: Don't you care about how federal income taxes are being spent? No, No,
Speaker 4: I don't. I'm getting it, So I'm happy about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's uh and I think it's always been true, probably
Speaker 5: that you couldn't connect those feelings you're talking about combined
Speaker 5: with the it's it's too big. I can't I can't
Speaker 5: do anything about it. There's no way I could organize.
Speaker 5: I don't have the time to like organize enough people
Speaker 5: in a movement to combat that. So I just all
Speaker 5: I I do is get disappointed and move on with
Speaker 5: my day. But I think there were enough ethical people
Speaker 5: over the first two hundred and fifty years that it
Speaker 5: didn't get completely out of hand. Patriots, Yeah, I think
Speaker 5: when you lose enough ethics around government, there's nothing stopping
Speaker 5: them from stealing, and we just don't push back.
Speaker 1: It's just it's going.
Speaker 5: To grow and grow and grow and go and go,
Speaker 5: or we're gonna find there's way. Minnesota and California are
Speaker 5: just you know, two examples that happens all over the place.
Speaker 4: There are days I'm able to step outside my disgust
Speaker 4: and anger as a taxpayer and a patriots. Somebody who
Speaker 4: loves this country, and actually just I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: watching Ocean's eleven or one of those Kaper movies where
Speaker 4: I'm against armed robbery. Of course i am, or like
Speaker 4: some bank robbery drama. I can name a couple of
Speaker 4: them that I've really enjoyed. And you know, it's a
Speaker 4: super clever scheme, and so you kind of on that level,
Speaker 4: the selling of the progressive tax code as a moral
Speaker 4: imperative because people who make more should not only pay
Speaker 4: more in taxes, they should pay a higher percentage in
Speaker 4: taxes because they need to pay their fair share. Selling
Speaker 4: that in order to narrow the tax base as much
Speaker 4: as possible so that you can never be affected. I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: you can never be elected out. You can never be
Speaker 4: booted out in an election because the number of people
Speaker 4: who are offended at your scheme is not enough. That
Speaker 4: is a brilliant maneuver. That is George Clooney robbing the casino. Smart.
Speaker 4: It's evil, it's horrible, but it's clever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a depressing I think I really stumbled upon
Speaker 5: it with the The only way this worked was that
Speaker 5: there are enough ethical people that wouldn't steal, even though
Speaker 5: they could well.
Speaker 4: And I just think the scammers have ificiencies in the
Speaker 4: modern era with modern media and the internet and the
Speaker 4: acceptance well, one of the main factors is the acceptance
Speaker 4: of the welfare state.
Speaker 1: It wasn't very long ago. It's a handful of generations.
Speaker 4: Ago that people would not take charity if they were
Speaker 4: eligible for it because it was too embarrassing. I don't
Speaker 4: take no charity, and we've gone to the other extreme.
Speaker 4: Where's mine says everything?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so. I have a bit of
Speaker 1: a breaking news thing.
Speaker 5: I don't know when you will hear this, but law
Speaker 5: enforcement is expected to release a photo of a potential
Speaker 5: suspect in the gu three case. Okay, we'll see what
Speaker 5: that is whenever that happens. That's the only thing that's happened,
Speaker 5: because nothing has happened in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 5: We're just wondering if maybe this story was completely over.
Speaker 5: But they say they're my theory. Yeah, it's Don Lemon publicity.
Speaker 5: Ho Don Lemon. He's gone too far this time. You
Speaker 5: know Ashley Banfield who last week went around claiming the
Speaker 5: son in law did it. I have sources saying it
Speaker 5: was the sun law. Okay, do you So why do
Speaker 5: you have sources nobody else has? What an awful thing
Speaker 5: to say, awful, awful. We got more of the waist here.
Speaker 7: Epstein wrote an email claiming that Bill Gates was worried
Speaker 7: that he got an STV from one of the Russian girls,
Speaker 7: and he wanted Epstein to hook him up with an
Speaker 7: antibiotic they could slip into his wife's coffee. I mean,
Speaker 7: of all the slazy things I've ever heard, and of
Speaker 7: all the people not to have anti virus protection.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's in the Epstein file.
Speaker 5: So Bill Gates thought he got an STD probably gave
Speaker 5: it to his wife and was gonna slip antibotics into
Speaker 5: her coffee to try to get her over the STD.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to have to tell her that she
Speaker 1: bright have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a super interesting aspect of this. I
Speaker 4: was just reading about this or before the show. Epstein
Speaker 4: wrote an email to himself and sent it to himself
Speaker 4: talking about all the conversations he'd had with Bill Gates,
Speaker 4: including about that that's where that story comes from.
Speaker 1: Why did he send an email to himself about that?
Speaker 4: Wanted a paper trail, wanted to remind himself, have it handy,
Speaker 4: have the list handy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, see, there's some speculation I was watching people discuss
Speaker 5: this of he having been through this before, knew that
Speaker 5: a lot of these things might be dug into an investigation,
Speaker 5: and just wanted the whole bunch of stuff out there
Speaker 5: like this.
Speaker 1: Hmm, I don't know exactly what.
Speaker 5: I don't quite that's two five dimensional chests for me
Speaker 5: to completely figure out, you know, most of his nefarious Uh,
Speaker 5: he was a people.
Speaker 4: Collector, he was an We talked about this earlier, but
Speaker 4: he was an unbelievably skillful networker. I wonder if he
Speaker 4: also had an in case I need it. Uh, the
Speaker 4: carrot isn't working, Let's bring out the stick file on
Speaker 4: verious important people.
Speaker 5: You know, it's this is ancient wisdom, But if you
Speaker 5: live your life a certain way, do the right thing,
Speaker 5: it's so much easier. I mean, just so much easier
Speaker 5: in so many different ways. You know you're not lying anybody,
Speaker 5: you're not cheating, you're not you know you're not. There's
Speaker 5: another shoe, wasn't up about ready to drop all the time.
Speaker 5: Imagine the stress of I probably gave my wife an STD.
Speaker 5: I need to figure out how to cure her of
Speaker 5: that without letting her know I was cheating and gave
Speaker 5: her an SDD.
Speaker 1: I mean, God, who wants to do You're one of
Speaker 1: the richest people planet Earth.
Speaker 5: You could have such an enjoyable life doing so many things,
Speaker 5: and I'm sure his life was dominated for days, weeks
Speaker 5: or months with this which he brought on himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so crazy. I mean he could do literally anything.
Speaker 5: Money can buy on planet Earth, and he got himself
Speaker 5: into that situation.
Speaker 1: Wow, sounds very stressful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, being like an ultra nerd type like Bill Gates was,
Speaker 4: and then having spectacular wealth which gets you access to
Speaker 4: Russian hookers apparently, and you know, all sorts of women
Speaker 4: who'd throw themselves at you.
Speaker 1: He was probably ill prepared to deal with that.
Speaker 5: So Jake Tapper, at least on CNN is still in
Speaker 5: a denim shirt down in Arizona reporting on the Savannah
Speaker 5: Guthries mom situation, like that's where he's broadcasting his show from.
Speaker 1: That's how big a deal they still think it is.
Speaker 5: But there's a report out that the FBI is going
Speaker 5: to release the image of a person who appears to
Speaker 5: be wearing a mask and carrying backpacker tools, hoping somebody
Speaker 5: will recognize the person that may have broken into the
Speaker 5: house and taken Nancy Guthrie. So that's a tiny bit
Speaker 5: of information today that's different than the last several days. Okay,
Speaker 5: we got more on the way coming.
Speaker 1: Up, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8: The Seattle Seahawks are the Super Bowl champions. They made
Speaker 8: short work of the New England Patriots. Quarterback Drake May
Speaker 8: became the second Drake in a row to take a
Speaker 8: beating at the Super Bowl. The Seahawks defense kept the
Speaker 8: temperature alone. Most of the excitement came from the ads.
Speaker 8: It was maybe the weirdest year for Super Bowl commercials ever.
Speaker 8: There were like two beer commercials. The rest were for Ai,
Speaker 8: Jesus and Mike Tyson telling you to eat apples.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember, wasn't that many years ago, Manna.
Speaker 1: It was all.
Speaker 5: White beers and pop of various kinds, pepsi and coke.
Speaker 5: Now it's Ai because the world's going crazy. So I
Speaker 5: came across this internet battle between a couple of people.
Speaker 5: I don't know who they are, and it doesn't make
Speaker 5: any difference, but it is all over the issue of.
Speaker 1: Fat positive isness.
Speaker 4: What do you call it? Fat positivity? Body positivity? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: fat accept its acceptance. That's what it is that James
Speaker 4: Lindsay has written about before. And we went through this thing,
Speaker 4: or we're still going through this thing. It's got these examples.
Speaker 5: This one person posted from covers of Cosmopolitan magazine with
Speaker 5: some very very overweight women like you know, really you're really, really,
Speaker 5: really big and this is healthy and this is the
Speaker 5: new healthy or something like that, and how we got
Speaker 5: on that kick of I think like we overreacted. Maybe
Speaker 5: I don't know, because nobody, nobody wants to be that
Speaker 5: size right now. So I mean, you know, you can
Speaker 5: make the argument that it's well, I don't know, I
Speaker 5: don't even know what to take from this, but nobody
Speaker 5: wants to be that size, so suggesting being not that
Speaker 5: size would be better. I would I would think you
Speaker 5: could say that out loud, but maybe you can't. Maybe
Speaker 5: you can't anyway. So this is back and forth between
Speaker 5: these people as I was mentioning and it included this,
Speaker 5: which I thought was really something, and then they blame
Speaker 5: it on big pharma and all these different things going
Speaker 5: back and forth. But this is an article from the
Speaker 5: New York Times. Some doctors wait a while before trying
Speaker 5: to get patients to lose weight because if you bring
Speaker 5: it up, they get very angry. And this is from
Speaker 5: the article. Doctor Scott Hagen, a Seattle primary care doctor,
Speaker 5: goes further edging toward an obesity last approach that is
Speaker 5: common among doctors. If a patient comes in with obesity
Speaker 5: and obesity related conditions, he starts by treating the related
Speaker 5: conditions with drugs he knows he can work only later
Speaker 5: when the patients are comfortable with him, and if the
Speaker 5: other conditions are not improved, will he discuss trying the
Speaker 5: obesity drugs focusing on losing weight. People with obesity, added,
Speaker 5: tend to have a long history of relationships with doctors
Speaker 5: who blame them for their weight, despite their having spent years,
Speaker 5: even decades, trying diets and exercise. Many of them, he says, well,
Speaker 5: put off the first thing he tries to treat, which
Speaker 5: is obesity.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 5: So are doctors afraid to say, well, you're really, really overweight?
Speaker 1: Is what the problem is here.
Speaker 5: There's another little part of this if I can't find it,
Speaker 5: but it was basically.
Speaker 1: On the.
Speaker 5: Finally, now that glps have become so popular and so
Speaker 5: many people have lost weight with them, is it.
Speaker 1: Okay to say out loud, and I don't know what.
Speaker 5: To extend any of this is true that you can
Speaker 5: say out loud these things or can't say out loud
Speaker 5: that you know your knees, your ankles, your joints, your back,
Speaker 5: all these different sorts of things were because of your weight,
Speaker 5: and that's why you had these problems. But I never
Speaker 5: said talk to you. Know, I would treat you for
Speaker 5: your knee pain, but we wouldn't talk about the fact
Speaker 5: that your four hundred pounds is why your knees hurt
Speaker 5: all the time. Right, And now that the gops have
Speaker 5: become more popular, you can say out loud that, well,
Speaker 5: you had knee pain because you were a soberweight.
Speaker 1: You think there's a truth to.
Speaker 4: That, Yeah, yeah, I do. I've never been a doctor.
Speaker 4: Uh played doctor as a younger man.
Speaker 1: But successfully did it. Usually work didn't hurt.
Speaker 4: So I can see, especially as they describe people who've
Speaker 4: tried and tried and tried and tried to lose weight.
Speaker 4: If the doctor just at the outset gets after him
Speaker 4: you got to lose some weight, You gotta lose some weight,
Speaker 4: they don't want to hear it anymore, so they turn
Speaker 4: it off.
Speaker 1: So the doctor can't help them. I don't have any
Speaker 1: idea what doctors do.
Speaker 5: But doctors certainly should say if you got like your
Speaker 5: knees and your ankles are hurt all the time, and
Speaker 5: your four hundred and fifty pounds, say have you tried
Speaker 5: losing weight? Because I think your weight is the main
Speaker 5: reason your knees hurt. And then they can say, yeah,
Speaker 5: I go to the gym five days a week and
Speaker 5: eat nothing but lettuce, although that's probably not the I mean,
Speaker 5: acting like that's the most common case is probably not accurate.
Speaker 1: Right, So.
Speaker 5: What are doctors supposed to do? Treat it with drugs
Speaker 5: or maybe that's what people want.
Speaker 4: I have no idea. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm not a doctor. I'm not even sure I understand
Speaker 4: what you're asking.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that that was happening in doctor's offices,
Speaker 5: what they wrote in the New York Times. I didn't
Speaker 5: know that was a common thing that they're not willing
Speaker 5: to bring up obesity. Obesity last is usually the approach,
Speaker 5: is what the New York Times que I'm surprised.
Speaker 4: That it's gone that far. Yeah, it seems obvious, but
Speaker 4: I don't know. I just I try to keep in
Speaker 4: mind what I'm like in the mainstream, of what I'm
Speaker 4: an outlier of and what I'm like just a flat
Speaker 4: weirdo about. And I've always been a realist about weight.
Speaker 4: I know exactly how overweight I am and the effects
Speaker 4: it has, and what weight I'd like to be, and
Speaker 4: what I've tried to do and what I've not bothered
Speaker 4: trying to do to get back to the weight. And
Speaker 4: I've lost a ton of weight, regained stuff. So it's
Speaker 4: impossible to offend me at the doctor's office saying, you know,
Speaker 4: you probably had to drop twenty pounds.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yeah, I know. So it's tough for
Speaker 1: me to picture.
Speaker 4: But I could see somebody, yeah, reacting the way they
Speaker 4: described in the New York Times.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all I know is what I'm reading about in
Speaker 5: these articles. But if you do have some sas where
Speaker 5: people have bad knees and bad ankles and the doctor
Speaker 5: knows it's because of the weight and they don't bring
Speaker 5: up the weight, that's not good doctoring.
Speaker 1: I don't think at least, No, Yeah, you got to let.
Speaker 5: People know that it's the amount of weight your knees
Speaker 5: carry around is where your knees hurt. Now we can
Speaker 5: address whether or not you can lose a weight and
Speaker 5: how you're trying whatever.
Speaker 4: But I think what the doctors were saying in that
Speaker 4: article is if I go with that first, I've lost them.
Speaker 1: They're gone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a teenager. You just if you go
Speaker 4: so hardcore, you lose the connection. It's over. That's the
Speaker 4: way I interpreted that article.
Speaker 1: But which as I've found a very annoying reality.
Speaker 4: I think you're having trouble understanding it because you're a
Speaker 4: gay nazi and I have proof from the Wall Street
Speaker 4: Journal's Auto review column.
Speaker 1: I'm not gay.
Speaker 4: State you're not only are you gay, you're a gay Nazi.
Speaker 4: And I have proof.
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned that.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, and it's from a Pullitt Surprise winning journalist.
Speaker 4: And you know how the Nobel Prize, you know, after
Speaker 4: the or what behind the Ears Youth passed away and
Speaker 4: we learned what the Nobel Prize is and who's on
Speaker 4: the committee and what they reward and stuff. You realize, how, okay,
Speaker 4: it's a progressive activist group that the progressive press pretends
Speaker 4: is just the arbiters of all that is good and holy, Right,
Speaker 4: pullet surprise committee. Wait till I tell you about them,
Speaker 4: and you're gonna do that next segment, right, and your
Speaker 4: whole g N status.
Speaker 5: One more thing on the weight thing that I think
Speaker 5: is relevant, the fact that we soft pedaled downplayed that
Speaker 5: during COVID. The relationship between COVID deaths and being overweight
Speaker 5: was crazy. So they got like no attention because of
Speaker 5: being offensive or whatever.
Speaker 4: You know what, that is great evidence that perhaps the
Speaker 4: my realists view, if you don't want to lose them,
Speaker 4: so you got a soft pedal in them. No, it's
Speaker 4: it's way way crazier than that. You're right, that's good point.
Speaker 4: All right, people were freaking dying, right, Well, I don't
Speaker 4: want to say they're heavy. They could die still, you know,
Speaker 4: fat accept it's that's just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something. Okay, we got what Joe said.
Speaker 5: Coming up next, the Commerce Secretary of Howard Lutnik, as
Speaker 5: we speak, is uh in Congress being pressed by Democrats
Speaker 5: about his relationship with Epstein. I'm kind of like to
Speaker 5: hear that as he is on tape once saying I'm
Speaker 5: never spending another moment with that guy, and then he spent.
Speaker 5: It would seem quite a few moments with the guy
Speaker 5: after that, So.
Speaker 4: I just I can't get past the flip flop. And
Speaker 4: when they had power, they didn't give a crap. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: exact powers. So no, they want to know everything and
Speaker 4: back and forth, no doubt flopy. So I came across
Speaker 4: this from Andrew Styles and the Free Beacon and was
Speaker 4: amused by it, and I went to the original source
Speaker 4: and it turns out he's right.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street.
Speaker 4: Journal car Review Vehicle Review Things, written by Dan Neil,
Speaker 4: who's a Pulitzer Prise winning journalist. It's one of the
Speaker 4: strangest reviews I've ever read in my life. And this
Speaker 4: is the Jack is a gay Nazi thing.
Speaker 1: Well, you sure say that a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like that's gonna feel like it's gonna
Speaker 5: stick if you keep saying it.
Speaker 1: Katie, do you.
Speaker 4: Understand why saying Jack is a gay Nazi is kind
Speaker 4: of enjoyable?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry that I would. I love saying Jack
Speaker 1: is a gay Nazi. There it is. It sounds even
Speaker 1: better coming out of your mouth.
Speaker 5: The gay thing is not if I were gay, i'd
Speaker 5: be I would be openly gay. I don't have a
Speaker 5: problem with it, but I'm not gay, and it's not
Speaker 5: going to help my dating prospects.
Speaker 1: The Nazi part is really difficult to deal with.
Speaker 4: Were you or were you not approached by a white
Speaker 4: supremacist skinhead in a public library?
Speaker 1: I was to recruit you to the Nazis? I was?
Speaker 4: I rest my case anyway, So, as Andrew Styles writes,
Speaker 4: journalists are the worst. Even those who don't cover politics
Speaker 4: are often incapable of writing normal sentences without flaunting their
Speaker 4: sneering disdain for normal Americans. For instance, you might not
Speaker 4: believe us if we told you. The Wall Street Journal's Peel,
Speaker 4: a surprise winning autocritic, recently compared Americans who enjoy large
Speaker 4: trucks with gas powered engines to Herman Gurring, the Nazi
Speaker 4: commander who founded the Gestapo and whose Marshall flamboyance fueled
Speaker 4: persistent rumors about his sexuality. That's exactly what what's his face?
Speaker 1: Did? The guy? Oh there it is, Dan Neil did.
Speaker 4: The opening paragraph of his review of Ford's gas powered
Speaker 4: F two fifty super Duty must be seen to be believed,
Speaker 4: Jack Armstrong, do you or do you not?
Speaker 1: Drive a Ford F two to fifty Super Duty trunck?
Speaker 5: I do okay, Nazi anyway, So wow, you're connecting the dots.
Speaker 4: But and I'll get into the actual review. But, as
Speaker 4: Andrew Styles writes, the opening paragraphs have to be seen
Speaker 4: to believe be believed. Even then, it's absurd enough to
Speaker 4: make you wonder if an editor messed up by uploading
Speaker 4: the wrong text. Just a totally normal way to start
Speaker 4: a truck review. I'm going to read you the opening
Speaker 4: to the review. Russell Crowe's portrayal of Nazi leader Hermann
Speaker 4: Gurring in the film Nuremberg is brilliant but incomplete. Little
Speaker 4: is made of Gurring's outrageous personal style, the power blue
Speaker 4: Reich Marshall's uniform, the fur lined capes, the diamond and
Speaker 4: crusted badges and batons, the face makeup. Gurrings sartorial choices
Speaker 4: raised suspicions among both the Allies and the Nazi high
Speaker 4: command that he was a homo sex.
Speaker 1: Keeping in mind on Rue, this.
Speaker 5: Is the review of an F two fifty Super duty Diesel,
Speaker 5: a truck review.
Speaker 4: Correct anyway, dot dot dot he was a homosexual.
Speaker 5: That's quite an opening for a review of an automobile.
Speaker 4: He's just getting started, so dot dot dot he was
Speaker 4: a homosexual, he wasn't. Apparently, a later generation of sociologists
Speaker 4: might have diagnosed Guring's Marshall flamboyance as a form of
Speaker 4: homeovestism that is exaggerated and often impractical gender normative dress
Speaker 4: or behavior intended to signal elite social status.
Speaker 5: Now, did you look thick on a hyperlink? Or is
Speaker 5: this still part of the f two to fifty truck review?
Speaker 1: Still part of the review? Okay?
Speaker 4: Although the term is clinically obsolete, examples of male peacocking
Speaker 4: are as close as the nearest bejeweled Patek Philippe talk expensive.
Speaker 1: Now I'm watch I see where they're going now, or a.
Speaker 4: Sterling silver Rodeo belt buckle or jumped up old plated pickup. Indeed,
Speaker 4: there are many examples of behavior intended to signal elite
Speaker 4: social status blah blah blah, and then picking up again
Speaker 4: with Andrew styles, Uh job, it's right about cars. It's
Speaker 4: certainly the most relevant, not the most relevant option to
Speaker 4: sneer it people who drive pickup trucks. Comparing people you
Speaker 4: don't like the Nazis is another classic case. Most people
Speaker 4: were regarded as not just praining, but such is the
Speaker 4: cost of asserting once moral righteousness.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm assuming when you drive your Prius or
Speaker 5: Tesla or something like that, it's not peacockying and signaling something.
Speaker 5: Yours is just a solid decision. Okay, fine, whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you expect a truck review, writes Andrew. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious.
Speaker 5: So he's reviewing a truck and he has to have many,
Speaker 5: many paragraphs to get around to insulting people who would
Speaker 5: drive a truck.
Speaker 1: That's his truck review.
Speaker 4: In Neil's view, the typical F two fifty owners an
Speaker 4: insecure roofing contractor some other emperor g redneck who wants
Speaker 4: to make his rivals jelly and tow his pleasure boat
Speaker 4: on weekends above, and then he points out for context
Speaker 4: the F series is the best selling vehicle lineup in
Speaker 4: the United States for.
Speaker 1: Nearly half a century.
Speaker 4: The sight of me hopping down from the driver's seat
Speaker 4: has real Greg Bovino energy, he sneers, referencing for no
Speaker 4: reason whatsoever, the border patrol linrew led the immigration crack
Speaker 4: down Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And then he claims to detect a hint of lavender
Speaker 4: in the cabin wink wink gay Wow.
Speaker 1: What final thoughts this armstrong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, here's your host for final thoughts.
Speaker 1: Joe Getty was that gurring there?
Speaker 4: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew,
Speaker 4: starting with Michael Angelow in the control room.
Speaker 1: Michael hit it. We didn't have time for this earlier,
Speaker 1: but I want to play it. Here we go.
Speaker 9: Twenty five oh three to go. Someone has run on
Speaker 9: the field, some guy with a brawl, and now he's
Speaker 9: not being chased. He's running down the middle of the forty,
Speaker 9: arms in the air in a victory salute. He's pulling
Speaker 9: down his pants. Put up your pants, my man, pull
Speaker 9: up those pants. He's being chased.
Speaker 2: At a thirty.
Speaker 9: He breaks a tackle from a security guy at the
Speaker 9: twenty tell in the middle of the ten, the five.
Speaker 1: He sides at the one.
Speaker 9: And they converge on him at the goal line. Pull
Speaker 9: up your pants, take off the brawn.
Speaker 1: Be a man. We need more of that with our streakers. Oh.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 4: Katie Greener esteemed to us woman as a final thought.
Speaker 1: Katie.
Speaker 5: Hard to follow that, but all I've got is that
Speaker 5: chicken Banana song has been stuck in my head since
Speaker 5: the seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: There you go, I'm not happy.
Speaker 4: If I hate the modern oryld Jack final thought, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be following this social media case today. Google
Speaker 4: is going to respond to the accusations of them.
Speaker 5: Making an addictive product for kids. This is I think
Speaker 5: you're gonna be fascinating the fall.
Speaker 4: One more quote from this Dan Neil character in his
Speaker 4: Gay Nazi truck review.
Speaker 1: They mentioned that in his.
Speaker 4: Recent review of the new super cross Track Sport Hybrid,
Speaker 4: he praised it as having a for anybody who's ever
Speaker 4: longed for a powertrain that reflects their values.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how did you get a sign? Doing
Speaker 1: car reviews well, not to mention super duty truck reviews.
Speaker 5: Wow, Armstrong and Geddy wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1: So many people, thanks so little time. Good Armstrong Geddy

Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow. God bless America.
Speaker 5: I'm strong and get take the way better at words, words,
Speaker 5: oh my words, words. It is time for us to
Speaker 5: do what we have been.
Speaker 1: Doing in that time. Is every day equal matter fact.
