Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty Armstrong and Katty
Speaker 1: and He.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yeddy. So breaking news story. I have no
Speaker 2: idea why this has happened and.
Speaker 1: Illinois court has overturned Jesse Smolette's conviction. What I have
Speaker 1: no idea why? It must be some technicality. What a
Speaker 1: what a moron?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, kidding that whole He is the clown prince
Speaker 3: of a whole period of American history that's not over yet,
Speaker 3: which we're going to get to in a moment or two.
Speaker 1: But I think it's on the wayne.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, And I do want to get
Speaker 4: into that.
Speaker 3: University of California Davis named the most anti smit A
Speaker 3: campus in America, which I mean, come on, you look
Speaker 3: at Columbia, you look at Harvard. That's some true division
Speaker 3: one bigotry you've got going on there at UC Davis.
Speaker 1: Way to go at UCLA, they weren't allowing Jewish kids
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 4: To class, right, How do you outdo that?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Again?
Speaker 3: I mean, that is some world class bigotry. Fantastic, he
Speaker 3: says sarcastically. Obviously, in case you're a moron. Coming up
Speaker 3: a troubling headline on a number of different levels. Escaped
Speaker 3: primates open can of worms for South Carolina's Alpha Genesis
Speaker 3: Research Lab. Will the judges permit that headline?
Speaker 1: No? Because it makes me wonder is that a euphemism metaphor?
Speaker 1: Or are they actually opening cans of worms? And that's
Speaker 1: a great step forward for monkeys?
Speaker 3: Yeah, plus just one animal metaphor describing another animal incident.
Speaker 1: I just you know, escaped lion is the elephant in
Speaker 1: the room.
Speaker 3: I don't know. No, No, we won't have that also
Speaker 3: coming up, and I find this so interesting. People are
Speaker 3: risking their eyeballs to get different colored eyes.
Speaker 1: That dumb.
Speaker 4: They don't like their eye.
Speaker 1: Color, that's dumb. I've got some interesting stats on eye
Speaker 1: color that I think will make it clearly dumb.
Speaker 5: But first, gender bending madness.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm unfortunately stuck on the last thing. Are baboons
Speaker 6: fishing for a compliment by showing their red heinees?
Speaker 4: Right right?
Speaker 1: Too many animal met It's confusing. Yes, hungry lion in
Speaker 1: the room. That's pretty for me.
Speaker 3: So i'd want to get to this story I'm about
Speaker 3: to describe in full but we don't really have time
Speaker 3: to segment. But it's about this college kid who held
Speaker 3: a a what would you call it, a panel discussion
Speaker 3: about protecting women's sports, in other words, only having girls
Speaker 3: playing girls' sports and not dudes who are confused and
Speaker 3: claim they're women. And one of the accounts of because
Speaker 3: it melted down, it went sideways, this panel discussion, and
Speaker 3: one of the things that happened was one of the
Speaker 3: law professors, a dude ran to the stage and was
Speaker 3: screaming with eyes wide and wild and spit flying.
Speaker 7: Trans girls are girls, trades, girls are girls at this
Speaker 7: law student. This is one of his professors. Number one,
Speaker 7: these people are nuts. Number two.
Speaker 3: You're a cultist, okay, radical gender theory, trans theory, Okay,
Speaker 3: you're down with it. But if you like, are so
Speaker 3: committed to the idea of I say, I'm a girl.
Speaker 3: I got no fallopian tubes, I got X Y chromosomes,
Speaker 3: I have the package, the male package, no extra charge,
Speaker 3: I produce sperm. But I'm a woman. There's something wrong
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 1: You're not well. They're getting that angry about it. Even
Speaker 1: if you believe that is that I'm fully.
Speaker 3: Right, acting as though there is no argument to be
Speaker 3: made otherwise. Yeah, and anybody who does is merely a
Speaker 3: crazy person. I'm really into this whole. It's their religion
Speaker 3: thing that we're built.
Speaker 1: We're built to protect a certain worldview, you know, with
Speaker 1: our lives because we evolutionary wise feel like it's key
Speaker 1: to a surviving as a species. And that's how you
Speaker 1: get the crusades or people willing to die for the
Speaker 1: religion or whatever. These people are willing to die for
Speaker 1: the religion of trans and that's how they get so
Speaker 1: incredibly worked up right as opposed to being a policy
Speaker 1: decision right exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's absolutely correct. It is a cult
Speaker 3: or a quasi religion and troubling. But the reason I
Speaker 3: pointed that out is that guy going so nuts. Is
Speaker 3: there a number of headlines from around the country that
Speaker 3: you just will not hear in the mass media unless
Speaker 3: it's derisive judgment. The Ohio Senate just passed the bill
Speaker 3: banning dudes in women's restrooms. Call them transgender people if
Speaker 3: you want. The problem is their dudes. Call things what
Speaker 3: they are. Don't be forced to use weird experimental phrases
Speaker 3: just because the far left wants you to. So did
Speaker 3: you hear that the Ohio Senate said, yeah, no, women's
Speaker 3: spaces are for women.
Speaker 4: Then you have this story.
Speaker 3: School board in Wisconsin, radical far right Wisconsin crack down
Speaker 3: on boys and girls' bathroom in a big change vote.
Speaker 3: They had a huge turnout at the school board meeting Riverside.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, what's the district name. Well, it's not like
Speaker 3: it's Watertown Unified school board. And the school board voted
Speaker 3: eight to one in favor of Plan C, which only
Speaker 3: permits students to use bathrooms and locker rooms and play
Speaker 3: on sports teams aligned with their There is biological sex.
Speaker 3: That's the only kind of sex. There is biological sex.
Speaker 3: So you don't need to see say biological it's redundant
Speaker 3: and it just exists. So the activists can make you
Speaker 3: admit that there are different kinds of sex. Are saying
Speaker 3: edible food, right, Yeah, exactly, Yeah, good point. So anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 3: overwhelming overwhelming sentiment to the people of the town in
Speaker 3: the school board that no, no more dudes in girls' spaces.
Speaker 4: So that's happening.
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, is said no, you're
Speaker 3: not going to have dudes in the women's bathrooms.
Speaker 1: That the Capital either.
Speaker 3: Oh really, in spite of the fact that a quote
Speaker 3: unquote transgender woman has been elected to the House o Representatives.
Speaker 1: I thought they'd dodge this problem just by going gender
Speaker 1: neutral bathrooms, so everybody can use every bathroom and then
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's what they do it every restaurant
Speaker 1: and coffee shop around here.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah. I think what they'll probably do is
Speaker 3: the third option. The airport strategy is you have a
Speaker 3: non gendered bathroom. I suspect that they'll do that at
Speaker 3: the Capitol. They'll have like one or two little rooms
Speaker 3: at taxpair expence with as turlet and ass sink that
Speaker 3: the gender bending congress person can use. So well, I'm
Speaker 3: not sure that'll provoke some controversy, but we'll see.
Speaker 1: The turnouts on those votes. Interesting and fits in with
Speaker 1: this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal today that
Speaker 1: I was going to get to later. Shy conservatives are
Speaker 1: key the left in its bubble, and I think that's true.
Speaker 1: I think so many of us have been scared off
Speaker 1: by thinking there's way more people in favor a lot
Speaker 1: of these things. We just keep our mouths shut and
Speaker 1: the just to avoid the you know, having to argue
Speaker 1: with someone. And what that has caused is the people
Speaker 1: who do believe in pronouns or whatever all these other
Speaker 1: things are, they think there's way more of them than
Speaker 1: there are because we all keep our mouth shut.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's part of my continually bellowing cut the
Speaker 3: crap lately, is that that's exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: You're right, friends, in your attitudes about a couple of things.
Speaker 3: I'm about to mention, you're absolutely right. Not only that,
Speaker 3: but you're backed by the vast majority of the American people.
Speaker 3: Being in the majority doesn't make you right, but you
Speaker 3: happen to be the right and in the majority. And
Speaker 3: you've been bullied into silence over the idea that people
Speaker 3: who sneak into the country illegally should be showered with
Speaker 3: all the rights and benefits of a citizen. And it's
Speaker 3: immoral if you say, wait a minute, the idea that
Speaker 3: we should crush our economy in the name of greens
Speaker 3: something or other. The idea that, after a century and
Speaker 3: a half of busting our asses to make this the
Speaker 3: least country in the least racist country in the world,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, we're supposed to accept that, Oh
Speaker 3: it was founded on racism, and there's more racist than ever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: cut the crap, bull ass, the idea that children should
Speaker 3: be mutilated and can choose their own quote unquote gender.
Speaker 4: Cut the crap. It's crap, it's crap, that's right.
Speaker 3: But yeah, back to your point in the journal's point.
Speaker 3: So I'm reminded of your story about an academic friend
Speaker 3: who was a gas Well. Couldn't believe that people in
Speaker 3: private enterprise don't always use their pronouns in their emails.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody does. We're discussing the whole You sign off
Speaker 1: on your email with your name and you put he
Speaker 1: hamm or she heard whatever. And I said, who does that?
Speaker 1: And they said who doesn't do that? I said, really, said,
Speaker 1: doesn't everybody put the brons? And I said, basically nobody.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen it out outside of
Speaker 1: something from a university. So they had no idea. They're
Speaker 1: in the bubble because we don't speak up. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like with the the horrible ratings they're having on
Speaker 1: MSNBC right now and Joe and Mika feeling like they
Speaker 1: needed to go visit Trump to save their show or something.
Speaker 1: Is how bubbled all the viewers of MSNBC have been
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. You don't know about
Speaker 1: all these stories. You have no idea that the rest
Speaker 1: of the country thinks a lot of this stuff is nuts,
Speaker 1: or how bad the immigration problem is, or how much
Speaker 1: people are hating inflation. You don't know all that stuff
Speaker 1: because they weren't covering it on your favorite news channel.
Speaker 1: It did you a disservice by keeping you in a
Speaker 1: bubble so that you're shocked when Trump wins so easily
Speaker 1: in a landslide, right exactly, so you attribute it to
Speaker 1: racism or fascism. What I wouldn't want the reality of
Speaker 1: stories kept from me so that a presidential election comes
Speaker 1: along and the other side wins easily and I'm like,
Speaker 1: how did that happen? Everything I hear is the opposite.
Speaker 1: That doesn't do me any good.
Speaker 3: Or you're running around spouting idiotic opinions. That's not a
Speaker 3: good look, not to be desired. Speaking of opinions, speaker
Speaker 3: Johnson was asked the key question and he dodged it.
Speaker 4: And I think I know why.
Speaker 3: I will talk about that after a quick word from
Speaker 3: our friends at Omaha Steaks. Oh, I know this is
Speaker 3: going to sound so familiar. I know to a lot
Speaker 3: of you. I've struggled so long. What do I get
Speaker 3: you know, my dad now that my mom has passed?
Speaker 3: But what do I get them? They don't need stuff?
Speaker 3: Omaha Steaks. It's the perfect gift. And they have all
Speaker 3: sorts of different packages, but what characterizes them? And Judy
Speaker 3: and I had the filetman Schongs the other night, ma'am.
Speaker 3: If I ordered it and paid through the nose at
Speaker 3: a restaurant, I would have been thrilled with equality.
Speaker 1: I kid you not. Yeah, And I'm horrible at grilling,
Speaker 1: as you all know, with my tiny little stupid grill.
Speaker 1: Even with my grilling, those steaks are like the best
Speaker 1: steak you have at a restaurant. And they do such
Speaker 1: a good job of shipping it to you at the
Speaker 1: dry ice and everything like that. And now whoever you
Speaker 1: send it to Dad and your grandma and grapple or whatever,
Speaker 1: now they're gonna have all this great meat in their
Speaker 1: freezer and think of you every time they get it out.
Speaker 3: And listen here from legendary stakes to mouthwatering desserts and more.
Speaker 3: Say fifty percent off sitewide at Omaha Steaks dot com
Speaker 3: plus our listeners get an extra thirty dollars off with
Speaker 3: the promo code Armstrong and a thirty dollars reward card

Speaker 3: Fifty percent off at Omaha Steaks dot com in an
Speaker 3: extra thirty bucks off with the promo code Armstrong. Minimum
Speaker 3: purchase may apply Omaha Steaks dot Com.
Speaker 4: Remember that code Armstrong. So and you know what, durn it.
Speaker 3: I should have gotten the audio, but speaker Johnson was asked,
Speaker 3: is freshman elect Sarah McBride a man or a woman?
Speaker 1: Oh? Really?
Speaker 4: In an effort to trap it.
Speaker 3: Now, if you ask me, I'd say it's a man,
Speaker 3: because that's easy for uh.
Speaker 4: And I love this this quote.
Speaker 3: Up until about fifteen minutes ago, for the entire history
Speaker 3: of mankind, every single person on earth could have answered
Speaker 3: that question definitively and correctly. But all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: we're like, I don't know what I'm subolished a sash.
Speaker 3: He said, Look, I'm not going to get into this.
Speaker 3: We treat all persons with dignity and respect. We will
Speaker 3: I'm not going to engage in silly debates about this.
Speaker 3: There's a concern about use as a restroom facilities and
Speaker 3: blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I understand your answer, but I also understand his answer
Speaker 1: of just I'm not going to let you make this
Speaker 1: into a story. I'm not going to energize the far left.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got work to do. I think that's I
Speaker 3: wish she had said it's a man. I get why
Speaker 3: he didn't. Yeah, at some point we all got to
Speaker 3: find our balls. Pardon me enough to state that which
Speaker 3: is clearly true. You can't be forced under your knees
Speaker 3: to say stuff you know is clearly not true.
Speaker 4: It's bad for your soul.
Speaker 1: So Joe's got his eye color thing. People are getting
Speaker 1: operations to change their eca and good news on the
Speaker 1: four to one K front. Maybe you haven't heard about,
Speaker 1: among other things on the way, Oh my god, have
Speaker 1: you seen the new Jaguar ad campaign. Yes, Elon Musk
Speaker 1: said this makes me want to sell my Jaguar and
Speaker 1: I don't even own one. It may be the world
Speaker 1: record for tone deaf, no kidding. How did you miss
Speaker 1: the whole bud light story? Anyway? More on that later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well, speaking of bad moves, there is a
Speaker 3: twelve thousand dollars surgery to change your eye color that's
Speaker 3: surging in popularity.
Speaker 1: First of all, twelve thousand dollars. Even if it wasn't
Speaker 1: dangerous or painful, that seems crazy.
Speaker 3: Well, in an exchange that is utterly predictable, doctor say
Speaker 3: it could be dangerous. Patients say it's worth the risks. Well,
Speaker 3: that's obvious since they did it.
Speaker 4: But patient, they.
Speaker 1: Say, that's worth the risk to you have a different
Speaker 1: eye color. WHOA, won't that change your life?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I would suggest maybe I don't know the Bible or
Speaker 3: like literally any philosophical texts text from any civilization that's
Speaker 3: ever been written, including like the Farmer's Almanac, and I
Speaker 3: don't know, like a kid's book of knock Knock jokes.
Speaker 4: I just I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Anyway, they start with this thirty nine year old real
Speaker 3: estate agent, a dude who paid twelve grand to get
Speaker 3: his brown eyes turned light gray.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, doctor, who brown is by far the most common
Speaker 1: eye color in the world, by far, far and away.
Speaker 1: But if you ask women or men what's the most
Speaker 1: attractive for women? They say gray number one, blue number two.
Speaker 1: So this guy I wanted gray apparently he had seen
Speaker 1: this list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one young man changed one of his brown
Speaker 3: eyes to blue to copy the eyes of his beloved
Speaker 3: Siberian husky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't make you weird at all.
Speaker 3: So these doctors, and there aren't many who will do this,
Speaker 3: use a laser to cut donut like tunnels into his cornias,
Speaker 3: clear outtermost layer. Ah surgeon used a tool to widen
Speaker 3: the tunnels before filling them with dye. Takes about a
Speaker 3: half an hour.
Speaker 1: Women prefer gray number one, followed by blue, then green.
Speaker 1: Men prefer green eyes in a girl, which is very uncommon.
Speaker 1: Very few people have green eyes, followed by hazel, which
Speaker 1: is kind of green also, So I guess we like
Speaker 1: green eyes and girls.
Speaker 3: I had beautiful hazel eyes as a child, Jack. They
Speaker 3: were a brown and green kind of mixed, and they
Speaker 3: turned brown as I aged. Only single digits of people
Speaker 3: have hazel eyes. It would have ingrediably change my life.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think I'm much happier.
Speaker 3: You'd be, Oh my god, I'd be a big star
Speaker 3: now loved anyway, it could blind you. So you know
Speaker 3: what I've found? You know, whose eyes look beautiful? Whoever
Speaker 3: you're in love with? Yes, their eyes look beautiful.
Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting? Always?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what, It doesn't matter, the color doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: the shape. Whoever you're in love with, their eyes look amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm happily hitched for the record, but brown take it
Speaker 1: or leave it? No good move on, sweetheart. You're looking
Speaker 1: for some green eyed dude. Good luck to you. See
Speaker 1: yuh bye go Why haven't you left?
Speaker 3: I'm glad my wife likes my eyes bloodshot exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, have beady little criminalized, so it's hard to
Speaker 1: tell what color they are.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, people keep looking for happiness and uh yeah, I'll
Speaker 3: just say interesting places.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the main takeaway is jeez, you think that
Speaker 1: is going to give you the happiness? There a lot
Speaker 1: of other ways. Try try helping someone or praying or
Speaker 1: doing something else.
Speaker 3: Here's a chick who went twice to get aqua colored eyes.
Speaker 1: All right, what color your eyes, Katie? I've never stared
Speaker 1: that closely at you. They're blue green, they're mixed. There
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, good news for four one k users
Speaker 1: are strong and getty. A bunch of different little news
Speaker 1: nuggets for you. I find all interesting. I'll start with
Speaker 1: this one because of teased a couple of times. The
Speaker 1: irs is going to raise the four to one contribution limit,
Speaker 1: I would freaking hope. So since we've all just lived
Speaker 1: through about thirty percent inflation, obviously those old numbers would
Speaker 1: be silly to stick to, right, right, And they didn't
Speaker 1: raise it enough to compensate for all that. But starting
Speaker 1: next year, it'll be up to twenty three five that
Speaker 1: you can put aside. And if you're over fifty, if
Speaker 1: you're in the winter of your life, that stays at
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred dollars. That's nuts. Given inflation, it's nuts
Speaker 1: to keep any of those numbers the same. It just
Speaker 1: a defies math.
Speaker 3: I think late fall is good enough. I mean, you're
Speaker 3: fifty one years old.
Speaker 1: It's not the winter of your in the winter of
Speaker 1: your life, I am, you're fifty, you've got one foot
Speaker 1: in the grave. I mean, it's just reality.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's actually so the opposite. It's it's really interesting
Speaker 1: in the modern world.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, anyway, Judy and I were just talking about
Speaker 3: that the other day. It's amazing a seventy five year
Speaker 3: old when we were kids was like, whoo still hanging
Speaker 3: out that?
Speaker 1: My mom talks about who is uh? In her eighties,
Speaker 1: just when she was a kid, somebody in their mid
Speaker 1: sixties were they were done. They were done for a
Speaker 1: couple of things for you here, let me find them all.
Speaker 1: I was going to do that. I'll do that later.
Speaker 1: NBC might be getting rid of MSNBC because they don't
Speaker 1: like having that hanging around their neck. They feel like
Speaker 1: it's hurting them, and that's that's kind of an interesting development.
Speaker 3: Might be the NBC News's main problem is they've got
Speaker 3: NBC News hanging around their neck.
Speaker 4: There no treat either.
Speaker 1: What is going to be the biggest easiest way to
Speaker 1: get rid of RFK Junior if Republican Senators has decided
Speaker 1: they want to get rid of him, it's going to
Speaker 1: be the whole abortion thing when they alert I was
Speaker 1: just reading this a variety of Republican senators who are
Speaker 1: pro life saying this is a huge concern. We'll get
Speaker 1: to this in the hearing when they alert a lot
Speaker 1: of Republican voters to how RFK Junior is an extremist
Speaker 1: on the side of abortion up to the day of birth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the bloom is going to be off the
Speaker 1: rows on that. I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll say.
Speaker 1: This is the most troubling story I've come across today.
Speaker 1: This is from Reuters but being reported a number of places,
Speaker 1: and for a lot of you who are anti forever
Speaker 1: wars or any of the terms that y'all use that
Speaker 1: make you less interventionist than me. You complain about the
Speaker 1: reduction in our stockpiles, which is a valid argument, especially today,
Speaker 1: Conflicts in Ukraine in the Middle East are eating away
Speaker 1: at US stockpiles of air defenses. The top US admiral
Speaker 1: overseeing American forces in the Asia Pacific region said last night,
Speaker 1: goes through some of the various weapons systems that you've
Speaker 1: either heard haven't and how are running law on them. Inherently,
Speaker 1: it imposes costs on the readiness of America to respond
Speaker 1: to in the Indo Pacific region, which is the most
Speaker 1: stressing theater for the quantity and quality of munitions, because
Speaker 1: the PRC is the most capable potential adversary in the world.
Speaker 1: In other words, we're more scared of China than anybody
Speaker 1: else in the world, and this is doing damage of
Speaker 1: our ability to fight them. So something's got to be done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't verify this personally, but I read the
Speaker 3: other day in a worthy source that we could run
Speaker 3: out of our anti aircraft missiles in two days in
Speaker 3: a major conflict. Speaking of forever wars, they are ain't
Speaker 3: no wars that are only two days. So anyway, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a great concern, absolute dang it. And then you'll
Speaker 3: that makes perfect sense to me.
Speaker 1: But then you've always got the problem with the Pentagon
Speaker 1: of if you can use any reason to increase your
Speaker 1: budget and then throw more money around, you use that.
Speaker 1: So it can be one hundred percent legit or eighty
Speaker 1: percent legit or twenty percent legit. It's always hard to know.
Speaker 3: Right right, By the way, I have a clarification on
Speaker 3: the Jesse Smollette situation from Mike the Chicago lawyer.
Speaker 1: Jesse Smollett, the actor most of us who had never
Speaker 1: heard of, who claimed he was attacked by some guys
Speaker 1: in maga hats who poured bleach on him and said
Speaker 1: this is mega.
Speaker 3: Country three am in the South side of Chicago, which
Speaker 3: was from the first moment you heard it.
Speaker 1: But Kamala Harris, who was almost president, came to his
Speaker 1: defense immediately talked about the racism that occurs in America.
Speaker 3: Well, he was convicted of filing false complaints and all
Speaker 3: sorts of different stuff, and that conviction was just over turned.
Speaker 3: And Mike the lawyers qualified, has given us some information
Speaker 3: on that. And now I'm going to keep it in
Speaker 3: layman's terms because we lawyers and near lawyers use a
Speaker 3: lot of you know, jargon habeas corpus rid of circus maximus.
Speaker 3: I mean, there are all sorts of different terms. It
Speaker 3: all goes back to the fact it's it's they cited
Speaker 3: the Bill Cosby case where there was a plea agreement essentially,
Speaker 3: and then the prosecutors changed their minds and went back again.
Speaker 3: It goes to the fact that they entered into an
Speaker 3: agreement with Smole before they turned around and decided to
Speaker 3: prosecute him with something else, and it was a due
Speaker 3: process violation, and Mike Lawyer agrees that it was. The
Speaker 3: problem was the horrible Cook County State's Attorney Kim Fox,
Speaker 3: who entered into a horrible, indefensible agreement with him allowing
Speaker 3: him to skate.
Speaker 1: So this is one of those things that we dullards
Speaker 1: would call got off on a technicality, But the technicality
Speaker 1: is to strengthen our judicial system.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the problem being this is the unholy fruit
Speaker 3: of the poisoned tree of Kim Fox, who tried to
Speaker 3: skate around justice for one of her woke.
Speaker 4: Allies and screwed up the whole system.
Speaker 3: I tell you what, people of Chicago, you want gonna
Speaker 3: hire a piece of garbage like her, You're gonna have
Speaker 3: garbage results.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the story that roughly
Speaker 1: one hundred food Aid trucks, that's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: Benjamin Netanyah, who has gott an arrest warrant today from
Speaker 1: whatever international court that is, And that's the lead story
Speaker 1: for all of mainstream news. There's been an arrest warrant
Speaker 1: put out for Benjamin Netanyah, who by the International Court
Speaker 1: of we do nothing because of he's using starvation as
Speaker 1: a tool in genocide against the Palestinians. Well over the weekend,
Speaker 1: one hundred Food Aid trucks were robbed that were headed
Speaker 1: into Gaza and so all the food was gone. And
Speaker 1: this is from this morning talking to a UN spokesperson
Speaker 1: journalist who looted the AID trucks. You and spokesman, we
Speaker 1: don't know. Journalist. Are you trying to find out? You
Speaker 1: and spokesman know? And one of my favorite pundits said,
Speaker 1: in other words, the AID trucks were looted by Hamas,
Speaker 1: which is guaranteed the situation. Sure, so if you send
Speaker 1: in food aid, Hammas steals it, which strengthens them, and
Speaker 1: that's the enemy you're at war with. If you don't
Speaker 1: send in food aid, you're accused of using hunger as
Speaker 1: a weapon and a genocide.
Speaker 3: So yeah, nice, Yeah, And they say, we're in a
Speaker 3: thousand year war to exterminate the Jews and then the
Speaker 3: Christians and take over the whole world in the name
Speaker 3: of Allah. And if lots and lots of Palestinians starve
Speaker 3: to death and die terribly, that will help our cause
Speaker 3: because that will fire up our fellow Muslims. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we're stealing the food aid and eating it ourselves in
Speaker 3: order to win the great battle. Why can people not
Speaker 3: just say that and understand that. They write it themselves
Speaker 3: Humas and similar groups, and they sign their names to it,
Speaker 3: and they publish it in books, and they make speeches
Speaker 3: where they say these things. It's not like a quote
Speaker 3: unquote conspiracy theory. It's like a lot of the critical theory,
Speaker 3: postmodernism stuff. They wrote books and signed their name to it.
Speaker 3: They told you precisely what they're trying to do. I
Speaker 3: don't know, lack of curiosity or just in the United States,
Speaker 3: just a terrified fear of being called a bigot.
Speaker 1: Hey, to go back to the four to one K thing, briefly,
Speaker 1: I left out one thing. So in the actual winter
Speaker 1: winter of your life, when you're over sixty, you're starting
Speaker 1: to head into the actual interview life once you hit
Speaker 1: sixty four. Actually, they did up the amount that you
Speaker 1: can use to catch up on your four oh one K.
Speaker 1: So this is the I should have put money in
Speaker 1: when I was thirty, but I didn't, So they're giving
Speaker 1: me a chance to get caught up now that I'm bridge.
Speaker 4: But they get the ketchup in the super ketchup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently when you get to that age. But wouldn't
Speaker 1: it be grand if you can come up with some
Speaker 1: sort of system where you say, hey, can I all
Speaker 1: that money you take out for my Social Security in
Speaker 1: a program that's going broke? Yeah, that is earning zero
Speaker 1: money turned anoven. Can I keep that and put it
Speaker 1: in my four one K? Would you let me do that?
Speaker 1: Because that would be I started doing that when I'm young.
Speaker 1: That's going to add up to a ton of money.
Speaker 3: We got a great email from a beloved listener the
Speaker 3: other day saying how right George W.
Speaker 4: Bush was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I privatize a portion of your Social Security contributions.
Speaker 3: And the scare stories and the panic tactics that were
Speaker 3: employed by the left because they want that money to
Speaker 3: flow into the government because then they control it and
Speaker 3: they use it for their own power.
Speaker 1: But the idea that.
Speaker 3: You're better off, I mean it could be an affirmative
Speaker 3: opt out. Sure, look, I know what I'm doing. I'm
Speaker 3: opting out of Social Security. Show me the forms. I'll
Speaker 3: put my Social Security number down, I'll sign the form. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's not like you'll do that to people who don't
Speaker 3: know better, are very brighter, not capable, or whatever.
Speaker 4: Just those of us who choose to opt out will
Speaker 4: opt out.
Speaker 1: And if I'm.
Speaker 3: Starving as an ulster as a result of I bet
Speaker 3: on doge coin and that bath and beyond stock, well.
Speaker 4: Then I'll turn to my local church for charity.
Speaker 1: Have that on me. That's where the rubber meets the road.
Speaker 1: Though we're not a country like that. We are a
Speaker 1: welfare state. And if you made decisions and you ran
Speaker 1: out of money, we are going to step in with
Speaker 1: tax payer money to make sure you've got someplace to
Speaker 1: live and got some food regardless of the decisions you made.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. That's the whole damn problem.
Speaker 3: Oh, which reminds me, I know what I should invest in,
Speaker 3: never mind bitcoin, freaking lab monkeys. I was reading about
Speaker 3: the South Carolina lab monkey escape.
Speaker 1: We should do that out at the farm, raise the
Speaker 1: lab monk. Got plenty of space that big bar, and
Speaker 1: I could have thousands of monkeys.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was thinking of convert my suburban home into it,
Speaker 3: which is exactly less advisable.
Speaker 1: But the putt in the studio, Yeah, bring some of
Speaker 1: them to work, Jack.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you Bitcoin is a punk of investment compared
Speaker 3: to breeding lab monkeys, the Great lab monkey Shortage of
Speaker 3: twenty four The story's been untold until now.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really like the things they do
Speaker 1: to monkeys. Yeah, I'm not the monkey's signer release. It's
Speaker 1: like the opt out so secrety plan you're talking about.
Speaker 1: They signed an opt out and here you go test
Speaker 1: some things on me, and I get to go, well,
Speaker 1: you know, live in a suburb somewhere. That's what they
Speaker 1: tell the monkey.
Speaker 3: A lot of this stuff is incredibly important to medical science.
Speaker 3: I get people squeamishness.
Speaker 1: I respect it.
Speaker 3: On the other end, I'd rather have effective antibiotics.
Speaker 1: If you're testing antibiotics, yes, if you're testing deodoran by
Speaker 1: spraying it in their eyes.
Speaker 3: Over those that they don't do that. Any horrible stories
Speaker 3: you hear are yeah, no, they were horrible. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 3: I grant you that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But research monkeys before the pandemic. And part of this
Speaker 3: has to do with our schism with China.
Speaker 4: Michael, I tell you what. You're a man of the world.
Speaker 3: Guess what research monkeys were, what they cost. I'm running
Speaker 3: Joe's medical research lab here, or testing just antibiotics to
Speaker 3: save six children. Okay, I gotta have me some research monkeys.
Speaker 3: Guess what I'm paying per monkey. Go ahead, take a
Speaker 3: guess now in the back in the day, back in
Speaker 3: the before.
Speaker 4: The pandemic, I must say ten grand. That's that's not
Speaker 4: a bad guess.
Speaker 3: Guess. I was going to guess a couple hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: I would have guessed seven hundred and fifty bucks something
Speaker 3: like that. It's actually four to six thousand dollars per
Speaker 3: monkey pre pandemic.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Now, now, and you wish you'd bought bitcoin when it
Speaker 3: was twenty dollars. You wish you'd bought apple stock in
Speaker 3: two thousand and two, and you wish you'd started breeding
Speaker 3: monkeys five years ago.
Speaker 4: It's thirty grand per monkey.
Speaker 1: Now, Wow, makes video look like inron.
Speaker 4: We think about that from it? Yes, you're right, it does.
Speaker 3: And and the US government is spending gobs of money,
Speaker 3: including on this South car Carolina research lab that apparently
Speaker 3: has an honor system for the monkey's team, but unbelievable
Speaker 3: amounts of money on research monkeys. Now you tell the
Speaker 3: monkeys at nine you stay put?
Speaker 1: All right? Huh we have a deal, all right, chee
Speaker 1: chee Wow, Okay, Well I gotta go. We gotta start
Speaker 1: breeding monkeys. Then that's where the money is. We got
Speaker 1: more on the way. You can join us anytime you
Speaker 1: got a comment like we got something wrong, or you
Speaker 1: want to add two text line four one five, two
Speaker 1: nine fifte barstraw.
Speaker 4: Yet I hate these floodpants.
Speaker 1: Way they're working.
Speaker 3: My feet are soaked, well, my cups are bone dry.
Speaker 4: Everything's coming up. Millhouse.
Speaker 1: One thing that I love about Milhouses. He's always getting
Speaker 1: knocked down, but he keeps getting up.
Speaker 4: I'm never giving up.
Speaker 1: Here is not again.
Speaker 3: I love the little guy.
Speaker 1: That's the seventy year old woman who does the voice
Speaker 1: of Millhouse on The Simpsons who says she's retiring after
Speaker 1: this season. She's been doing it for thirty five years.
Speaker 3: The Simpsons debuted almost like exactly when I started my
Speaker 3: radio career, and as I've told the story before, everybody
Speaker 3: wanted a Bart's Simpson voice in their heads.
Speaker 7: And I was like, yeah, cut the crap man or
Speaker 7: don't have a cow or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, but everybody like, oh, that was great, So yeah,
Speaker 1: it goes on. That's one of my favorite lines from
Speaker 1: the show. It's a good one. Everything's coming up Millhouse Carson.
Speaker 1: Millhouse's parents got a divorce later and it became rough
Speaker 1: for the poor kid. But first, this kind of joke
Speaker 1: thing that I came across yesterday. Before I get to
Speaker 1: some economic news about Target. I love how the first
Speaker 1: thing they do at the doctor's office is weigh you.
Speaker 1: I was already nervous. Now I'm depressed. Maybe next time
Speaker 1: they can bring up something I regret from my past
Speaker 1: and really get this party started. That's funny. Target stock
Speaker 1: plunged twenty one percent yesterday as a guy with a
Speaker 1: chunk of Target stock. I wish I had put it
Speaker 1: in something else. Monkeys maybe, But the retailers downbeat earnings report,
Speaker 1: which included lower profit and larger inventory, fell well short
Speaker 1: of all street expectations. But here's the interesting stuff. And
Speaker 1: economic news is we mock it all the time. It's
Speaker 1: economic news is nut. They always come up with explanations
Speaker 1: for why stuff happened, which you rarely have. It's usually
Speaker 1: I think usually it's unknown. And then sometimes it's like
Speaker 1: a combination of fifty things and you don't know which
Speaker 1: one was more important than the other. But to simplify
Speaker 1: it into one or two things very very rare, but
Speaker 1: they always do it in whatever article you're reading. Target's
Speaker 1: results stand in sharp contrast to its rival Walmart, which
Speaker 1: reported stronger than expected earnings on Tuesday and upgraded's full
Speaker 1: of your forecast. That's worth knowing. Yes, Walmart had a
Speaker 1: great quarter, while Target did not, So what gives. On
Speaker 1: the call with analysts, Target's executives described a deceleration in
Speaker 1: sales for high margin discretionary categories such as APPERIL and
Speaker 1: home to Corp. They also said consumers were not purchasing
Speaker 1: expensive products like televisions instead opting for smaller and more
Speaker 1: affordable items like candles and vases. Yeah, don't that pretty hilarious.
Speaker 1: So we're thinking about getting a big screen TV and
Speaker 1: your wife says, maybe we should just get a candle instead,
Speaker 1: and you go home with a candle.
Speaker 3: Hey, honey, super Bowl's coming up. It'd be really great
Speaker 3: if we had a big TV when folks come over.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we can't afford it, so let's get a vise.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was funny.
Speaker 3: I was reminded the other day that they lost something
Speaker 3: like a billion dollars in value because they were selling
Speaker 3: transgender clothes for children, so your little boy could tuck
Speaker 3: his penis away and feel like a girl.
Speaker 1: I know personally two people that stop shopping at Target
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years because of their politics.
Speaker 1: The fact that the article that I read, the Whole
Speaker 1: Bang article, never mentioned that once, I think is pretty interesting,
Speaker 1: since again, I know two people in my real life
Speaker 1: that went from regular Target shoppers to never because of
Speaker 1: their politics. That didn't play a role at all. Come on, yeah, yeah, week,
Speaker 1: I was going to get the eight inch TV, but
Speaker 1: I decided to get one of these vanilla scented candles.
Speaker 4: Wow, it smells just like a rainforest or something.
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, we'll sit around watch the candle kids.
Speaker 1: Times are tough, or we'll go to Walmart and buy
Speaker 1: a TV.
Speaker 3: Our four will include an analysis of what the artificial
Speaker 3: high minimum wage in California did to fast food workers.
