Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jackie and he.
Speaker 2: Armsranget live from studio seats.
Speaker 1: Say you're we are in a tiddley.
Speaker 2: Lit room deal with on the bowels of the Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getting Communications Compound, And hey y'all today Tuesday, we're
Speaker 2: under the tutelage of our general manager, Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: Apparently, what you know? It struck me what there are
Speaker 1: all sorts of people on all sorts of different sides
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 2: Political equation just kind of circling it like flies circle
Speaker 2: a pile of pooh, which is appropriate either to you know,
Speaker 2: gain followers or gin up interest, or to comment on
Speaker 2: the other people commenting on it. And everybody feels like
Speaker 2: there's something here we can work with, but they aren't
Speaker 2: quite sure what I think what I said yesterday is right.
Speaker 2: I think the left wing media thinks it's a way
Speaker 2: to attack Trump World, and that's their interest period, right maybe,
Speaker 2: And Trump World, meanwhile, has a pretty good narrative to
Speaker 2: sell about the deep state and cover ups and nefarious
Speaker 2: evil doing by the powerful. I just saw I was
Speaker 2: looking for this sort of thing. I was reading Mark
Speaker 2: Halpern's in the Morning newsletter and his he said, polling
Speaker 2: shows real people don't care about this, which I'm happy
Speaker 2: to hear because I consider myself a real person and
Speaker 2: I don't care about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care much. Zero of concerns zero. I Well,
Speaker 1: I get part of it.
Speaker 2: I guess part of why I've got this distance in
Speaker 2: my head about this whole thing is I assumed from
Speaker 2: the beginning there was nothing there. So finding out there's nothing,
Speaker 2: there is no what you claimed there was. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: because I'm in the world of media and I know
Speaker 2: we don't do this, but I know lots of people
Speaker 2: make crap up and exaggerate things for ratings.
Speaker 1: I just assumed they were doing that.
Speaker 2: So when it turns out they get into power and
Speaker 2: say we don't have anything, they're not surprised in the least.
Speaker 2: So maybe that's why I don't get the excitement here. Well,
Speaker 2: it's it's incredibly fertile ground. It's like it was produced
Speaker 2: by AI to to grow conspiracy theories because there's so
Speaker 2: much oddness.
Speaker 1: There's so many missing facts. There's there's sex, there's.
Speaker 2: Power, there's money, there's missing minutes from videotapes, there are
Speaker 2: absolutely associations with the very powerful and well known Hyah.
Speaker 2: But as far as I can tell, what's driving this
Speaker 2: doesn't exist at all. The Democratic Party in Hollywood is
Speaker 2: not running a giant child sex ring in cohuts with
Speaker 2: the Israelis, right well or not in that's just not happening.
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying they're doing it separately. That's not a thing.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, at least for people I know, and
Speaker 2: this is anecdote evidence for people I know are really
Speaker 2: into this. That's the driving force behind the whole Ebstein
Speaker 2: thing is the child sex ring. And that's what they've
Speaker 2: been talking about for or hinting at, or talking openly
Speaker 2: about for several years. And to come out and say
Speaker 2: that is not a thing is really annoying a certain crowd.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Well, if you're convinced of the truth
Speaker 2: of that proposition, I mean, I understand why people would
Speaker 2: be extremely enthusiastic about following it if you thought there
Speaker 2: were massive numbers of children being systematically sexually exploited by evildoers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the truth is they're not, at least not in that way.
Speaker 2: But you know, you don't believe me, so that's fine.
Speaker 2: We can still be friends. One interesting aspect of this
Speaker 2: that I was reminded of that I remember being outraged
Speaker 2: by at the time was the lack of interest in
Speaker 2: mister Epstein's activities by the local authorities in Florida back
Speaker 2: in the day. He you know, wealth, very very wealthy,
Speaker 2: very well known, very well connected, and there are a
Speaker 2: lot of blind eyes turned and paperwork lost and charges
Speaker 2: dropped or reduced by friendly prosecutors. So you know, the
Speaker 2: whole thing began in corruption as well. Just one more
Speaker 2: element of the you know, the stew that's so rich
Speaker 2: to speculate about. So two things I need to research on.
Speaker 2: Unless you already know the answer. MSNBC was claiming Fox
Speaker 2: mentioned this basically never yesterday.
Speaker 1: Is that true. I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I can't swear to I've thought it came up briefly
Speaker 2: on Brett Baar, but I could wrong. I watched Fox
Speaker 2: and Friends that didn't come up at all, and it was,
Speaker 2: you know, the lead story on ABC this week Sunday
Speaker 2: all day long on CNN and MSNBC and Fox not
Speaker 2: covering it all. I think that's interesting on its own
Speaker 2: I'm going to call an audible here if I can
Speaker 2: find it.
Speaker 1: Uh bu uh there it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, make sixty four opening clip Michael sixty four. Oh maha,
Speaker 2: Oh maha, he's changing the play at the line.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Now do I as a tackle? Do I
Speaker 1: back up and protect the quarterback?
Speaker 3: Here? No?
Speaker 1: You pull? You pull on this play? Crap? And what
Speaker 1: was the other thing I wasn't sure of? Oh?
Speaker 2: So the Democrats tried to get a motion going to
Speaker 2: release some Epstein files and Republicans blocked it yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they just want to continue to fertilize the division in
Speaker 2: Trump world.
Speaker 1: Why did why keep this hot? Why did Republicans block it? Though?
Speaker 2: Because they don't want to, because like, let's let this
Speaker 2: drop and move on with the work of the country.
Speaker 2: And why don't they want to? Wouldn't that end it?
Speaker 2: You release whatever you got, which ain't much?
Speaker 1: Apparently.
Speaker 2: Well, there's one huge problem which we haven't really discussed
Speaker 2: at all, is the fact that Julaane Maxwell, the unholy
Speaker 2: rape lady young girl recruiting a moral female monster in
Speaker 2: all this has gotten appeal filed and a lot of
Speaker 2: this stuff is evidence in that case. So you can't
Speaker 2: be putting it out in a way that's not approved
Speaker 2: by the judge. I guess I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, so again, getting back to this newsletter I was reading,
Speaker 2: he spiled a writ jack a writ that if there
Speaker 2: is any sort of list about who flew on the
Speaker 2: planes and stuff like that, I don't think there is.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think.
Speaker 2: I'd bet money there's not a list that exists that
Speaker 2: says Bill Gates had sex with a twelve year old
Speaker 2: on August fifth, two thousand and five. That list does
Speaker 2: not exist. I don't think he did that, by the way,
Speaker 2: But just a for instance, yea.
Speaker 1: Of course, just for instance, any attorneys.
Speaker 2: But going to various parties where there were girls, some
Speaker 2: of them not eighteen that exists, and that those travelogs
Speaker 2: probably exist. And as this newsletter is reading this morning,
Speaker 2: there's quite possibly quite a big number of prominent Democrats
Speaker 2: on there. We know Bill Clinton was on that list.
Speaker 2: Does that damage anybody? I mean Trump's on that list,
Speaker 2: So does that hurt anybody?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You went to parties where people were doing things they
Speaker 2: shouldn't do, So have lots of us doesn't mean we
Speaker 2: did them right, right, and or went to parties where
Speaker 2: that didn't happen, thrown by a guy who through parties
Speaker 2: where it did happen right part the other day. I've
Speaker 2: known party guys like that that if you're kind of
Speaker 2: friendly on the outer circle, there's winks, there's nods, there's
Speaker 2: code words, there's chuckles, there's conversations. You get let in
Speaker 2: a little further into the inner sanctum where they party
Speaker 2: a little harder, and maybe they get an eight ball
Speaker 2: of coke on Friday night or whatever, and then you
Speaker 2: find out, Wow, they're kind of into whatever it might
Speaker 2: be wife swapping, swinging.
Speaker 1: I used to call it. These days, the women have
Speaker 1: agency in this too. I don't know what you call it.
Speaker 2: But anyway you get into Jeffrey Epstein is not going
Speaker 2: to say, Joe Keeddy, good to meet you. I've heard
Speaker 2: of your show. I hear it's really good. Hey, I
Speaker 2: got a sixteen year old girl over here. You want
Speaker 2: to fornicate with her? It's way too dangerous. So my
Speaker 2: point is, and I have no interest in protecting the powerful.
Speaker 2: In fact, quite the opposite. It is entirely possible you
Speaker 2: associated with Jeffrey Epstein on various levels and had no
Speaker 2: inkling of the really crazy stuff going on.
Speaker 1: I think that's the most likely.
Speaker 2: So I think some of the investigators are thinking, Okay,
Speaker 2: do I put out the list that says, for instance,
Speaker 2: Bill Gates went to a garden party where they raised
Speaker 2: money for an aid's charity thrown by Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: Do we put that out in the public.
Speaker 2: And just cause all sorts of you know, impugning names
Speaker 2: and randoms, spelation or do we not? Again, my main
Speaker 2: point is, I guess I'm the rest of the country
Speaker 2: is not cynical enough or as cynical as I am
Speaker 2: that they're shocked to find out that all these podcast
Speaker 2: hosts were claiming things that weren't true. No, and I
Speaker 2: actually have a fabulously interesting featurette on why conspiracy theories
Speaker 2: are so intriguing and satisfying. Remember Steve Bannon, We got
Speaker 2: to play that clip again today. This is a time
Speaker 2: for choosing on the whole Epstein thing.
Speaker 1: Is it? Oh, he's the worst? Is he is? Pt Barnum?
Speaker 1: I mean he's great at it?
Speaker 3: Yea, he is.
Speaker 2: He's an incredible talent for doing that sort of thing
Speaker 2: and stringing along the sort of people who get hooked
Speaker 2: like a largemouth bass by this sort of thing. And
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to be completely because like
Speaker 2: the left calls every suspicion of authority a conspiracy theory, saying, hey,
Speaker 2: healthy young kids don't really need the COVID jab and
Speaker 2: they ought to be back in school. That's a conspiracy
Speaker 2: theory by anti vas lunatics. So I'm not that trust me.
Speaker 2: I believe in challenging authority all the time. I just
Speaker 2: think this is conspiracy as entertainment. Okay, So if you
Speaker 2: lean to the right, you shouldn't be so enthused that
Speaker 2: mainstream media is making a big deal out of this
Speaker 2: just to try to sew division in Trump world. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: only interest, which brings us, in a lovely fashion to
Speaker 2: our open clipic. Okay, here we go. I'm Jack Armstrong,
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, July fifteenth,
Speaker 2: year twenty twenty five, where I'm strong, are getting we
Speaker 2: approved of this program. Let's begin then, official According to
Speaker 2: FCC Rules of Regulations, the show starts at mark.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna trust my friends, the administration. I'm gonna trust
Speaker 3: my friends in the government to do what needs to
Speaker 3: be done, solve it. Balls in their hands, I've said
Speaker 3: plenty of this last weekend.
Speaker 2: That is none other than Charlie kirk Immediately after his
Speaker 2: big turning point fest in which many people had fired
Speaker 2: up the crowd about Epstein, Charlie got a call from
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump who said, hey, there's nothing here, would
Speaker 2: you cool it? And so he made that statement, I'm
Speaker 2: done talking about Epstein for now.
Speaker 1: The balls in their hands.
Speaker 2: I trust the administration, and so do some of you
Speaker 2: think Charlie Kirks he must be on the list too.
Speaker 2: He's compromised by the Israelis and Massan. Well that's the
Speaker 2: only option if you're into the QAnon style theory. If
Speaker 2: anybody says, no, there's nothing.
Speaker 1: Here, they're part of it now. And here's how they
Speaker 1: got them. That's how they keep it.
Speaker 2: It's a perpetual motion machine. Inflation numbers are out highest
Speaker 2: level since February is the headline.
Speaker 1: In the Associated Oh my.
Speaker 2: February was just a couple of months ago, though, so.
Speaker 1: I don't know if them, oh yeah, right, February this year.
Speaker 2: We've never been big fans of the This is the
Speaker 2: worst economic crisis since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Okay, through that, I'm still alive. I don't even remember
Speaker 1: it exactly.
Speaker 2: AnyWho will have to have to dig into that, because
Speaker 2: that has been the concern about tariffs all along, right,
Speaker 2: that at some point inflation was gonna hit.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: Oh, I got a great thing from the New York
Speaker 2: Times about the whole taco myth. Trump always chickens out
Speaker 2: complete bs that whole thing, really, according to the New
Speaker 2: York Times. And I think they're right on tariffs because
Speaker 2: we've got some more tariffs to talk going.
Speaker 1: Any who.
Speaker 2: I got Katie's headlines on the way and the news
Speaker 2: of the day, so I hope you can stay here.
Speaker 2: Mentioned yesterday, I'm kind of obsessed with the seven Bruce
Speaker 2: Springsteen albums that they released a week or so ago.
Speaker 1: Seven new albums.
Speaker 2: Well they're old albums, but they never come out before,
Speaker 2: like entirely recorded albums. I'm gonna have to get over
Speaker 2: my revulsion of his politics and his anti American crap
Speaker 2: and dig into it.
Speaker 1: As I've been a Bruce fan since I was a child.
Speaker 2: Wasn't ever really, I'm more now than I've ever been,
Speaker 2: so that's kind of weird. But I was like, I
Speaker 2: was watching some videos. I didn't know he was such
Speaker 2: a good piano player. I had no idea played the
Speaker 2: piano at all, let alone. Well, which is interesting.
Speaker 1: All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the
Speaker 1: lead story with Katie Green and Katie alright, are you're
Speaker 1: starting with? ABC?
Speaker 4: Official says Russia didn't care about Trump's weapons for Ukraine or.
Speaker 1: The tariff threats. Okay, take care, Yes, you can claim
Speaker 1: that all you want.
Speaker 4: USA today, Supreme Court, let's Trump fire hundreds of Education
Speaker 4: Department workers and dismantle the agency.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I can't wait to get into that major
Speaker 2: featurette coming up, part hitting, fast Moving, Brace yourself, be
Speaker 2: pushback on firing anybody. The same with the realignment of
Speaker 2: the State Department. Oh my god, all of media acts
Speaker 2: like firing government employees is a crime.
Speaker 4: From The New York Post, California user arrested for allegedly
Speaker 4: tossing tear gas canister at ICE agents during raid on
Speaker 4: cannabis farm.
Speaker 1: College professor, College professor.
Speaker 2: No doubt, education is the most radical left area of
Speaker 2: life in America.
Speaker 4: Fox News in it to win It, Cuomo refuses to
Speaker 4: back down and heated New York City mayoral race against
Speaker 4: Zooran Mandami.
Speaker 1: Cuomo is going to run as an independent.
Speaker 2: And trying to get this deal going where when it
Speaker 2: gets closer, all the independents need to look at the
Speaker 2: polling and whoever's at the top, everybody else drops out
Speaker 2: because otherwise, because there's multiple independence Cuomo and the current mayor,
Speaker 2: Eric Adams, and you know, it'll split the vote and
Speaker 2: there's no way they win. Meanwhile, all the moneyed interests
Speaker 2: and or everybody who's not a communist in New York
Speaker 2: turns their fire on Mamdami excelsior.
Speaker 1: But Cuomo is a crook.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a horrible human being on like nine
Speaker 2: different levels.
Speaker 1: Agreed from the New York Times.
Speaker 4: Israel targets Syria and Lebanon in wave of new airstrikes.
Speaker 2: Wow, didn't hear that One their peace plan is to
Speaker 2: defeat their enemies.
Speaker 1: From the Washington Post.
Speaker 4: Inflation picked up in June as tariffs began to lift
Speaker 4: prices across the economy.
Speaker 2: That's either what's happening or it's not. But if it is,
Speaker 2: you don't know. This could be the opening. Okay, the
Speaker 2: tariffs are starting to finally land here comes the inflation
Speaker 2: that a lot of economists predicted, right right, And there's
Speaker 2: been you know, there's been a bit of touchdown dancing
Speaker 2: that inflation hasn't been really affected by the tariffs. But
Speaker 2: there's been much, much, much more talk about the tariffs than.
Speaker 1: Levying of them. Until very recently.
Speaker 2: Nothing would turn the tide politically in this country faster
Speaker 2: than noticeable inflation.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think Trump is right about trade deals, he's wrong
Speaker 2: about tariffs in general.
Speaker 1: More on that later from NBC.
Speaker 4: Study shows weight loss drugs can boost testosterone in men.
Speaker 1: Yes, so I'm thinner. I got my mojo from study
Speaker 1: fines it's never too late.
Speaker 4: Keeping active slashes death risk from any cause by up
Speaker 4: to forty percent.
Speaker 1: Wow wow wow. Yeah, bring us more on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: more on that, okay for sure.
Speaker 4: And finally from the Babylon b Bear on California state
Speaker 4: flag moves to Texas, packs.
Speaker 1: Up its bags. Hell with this. I'm sick of this.
Speaker 2: So they put a new giant golden bear in the
Speaker 2: Sacramento Airport, capital of California, and now they've got a
Speaker 2: big barrier around it with signs says don't climb on
Speaker 2: the bear. Apparently people thought you could climb on the bear.
Speaker 2: Before climbing on the bear, don't climb on the bear,
Speaker 2: I guess, because somebody might slip and hurt their wrist
Speaker 2: and then either be a lawsuit and they would have
Speaker 2: to ground all the airplanes or something.
Speaker 1: Because it's California. Now, anybody who wasn't going to climb
Speaker 1: the bear will climb exactly. You're the best Instagram pick
Speaker 1: you could get is a top of the bear. We
Speaker 1: have so many things to catch you up on. Stay here,
Speaker 1: armstrong and getty.
Speaker 2: The difference between being sedentary and a little exercise regularly
Speaker 2: is a huge according to one of the biggest studies
Speaker 2: ever done in the world over many many years, following
Speaker 2: people and their likelihood of dying from anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a very broad study. Can't wait to talk about that,
Speaker 2: probably an hour two. Also, Uh, clearly some of you
Speaker 2: very unhappy with our Epstein takes. I want to talk
Speaker 2: about that because I Did's what an interesting thing that is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: unlike the left descent is allowed, on the right, disagreements allowed.
Speaker 2: I heck, I think think it's great anyway, So more
Speaker 2: on that to come. It's been stated by various people,
Speaker 2: including me, that the corruption and rot in our education system,
Speaker 2: specifically far left in doctrination is the biggest problem facing
Speaker 2: America because hearkening back to lincoln statement that essentially we'd
Speaker 2: never be brought down from without. The only way the
Speaker 2: United States ends is if we commit suicide. I think
Speaker 2: that is the route by which we commit suicide. We
Speaker 2: raise generation after generation that hates their country and embraces
Speaker 2: these Marxist principles. Anyway, that's kind of the umbrella over
Speaker 2: this featurette this segment quick headline. Supreme Court clears the
Speaker 2: way for Trump's cuts to the Education Department.
Speaker 1: It's one of those emergency orders.
Speaker 2: They didn't mention the vote, but it was probably six
Speaker 2: to three, and there's no like rationale given because they
Speaker 2: don't do that on emergency orders, generally speaking. But so
Speaker 2: he can go ahead and gut the Department of Education. Well,
Speaker 2: gut gut, And I feel like that's language of the left. Gut, oh, gut,
Speaker 2: gut away, gut, get gut. Well, the gut's good, that's
Speaker 2: what rem Yeah, yeah, okay, So I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 2: A couple of wags in the New York Times with
Speaker 2: the following article, and we're leading up to.
Speaker 1: The big Cohuna.
Speaker 2: No, this is like this. You had the opening opening
Speaker 2: band play two songs. Now these guys get like a
Speaker 2: twenty minute set.
Speaker 1: But don't worry.
Speaker 2: We're heading for the headliner, which is the evil, evil teachers' unions.
Speaker 2: And I stand by those words. Woo what a smaller
Speaker 2: education department is doing under Trump, writes The New York Times.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll just jump down into it. We'll just go
Speaker 2: with the subhead. Let's keep it brief. Cuts have hit
Speaker 2: most of the department's main functions, which include investigating civil
Speaker 2: rights complaints. That means, for the last quite a few years,
Speaker 2: enforcing dei dictator. That's what they mean by enforcing civil
Speaker 2: rights complaints, providing financial aid a bloated system that has
Speaker 2: skyrocketed the costs of college education, which Trump is about
Speaker 2: to roll back too.
Speaker 1: We'll have more time for that another time.
Speaker 2: But the federal government is to a large extent getting
Speaker 2: out of education financing, moving along with the subhead here
Speaker 2: in the New York Times. Other things the Department of
Speaker 2: Education does researching what works in education. Oh like when
Speaker 2: the Department of Education handed down dictates and funding to
Speaker 2: get rid of phonics in favor of the newest, fashionable
Speaker 2: whole language learning or whatever. They called it, a miserable,
Speaker 2: miserable failure. What else do they do testing students on
Speaker 2: the federal level. Ah, you could make an argument for that,
Speaker 2: but as Jack is explained through Goodheart's Law, once you
Speaker 2: established that as a standard, they pervert the education system
Speaker 2: to just score better. And then finally and dispersing federal funding.
Speaker 1: That's what we need the Education department to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dispersing federal funding is the leash that they have
Speaker 2: the school districts on that they yank if they don't
Speaker 2: fall into line with whatever left wing dictate has.
Speaker 1: Been handed down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're seeing Trump use it now in different levels, right,
Speaker 2: to get rid of boys in girl sports. Well right, exactly,
Speaker 2: And in the past several years it was used to
Speaker 2: enforce boys in girls sports and to enforce restorative justice
Speaker 2: practices the bully's best friend, and to enforce saying if
Speaker 2: you report violent students to the cops, that's the school
Speaker 2: to jail pipeline.
Speaker 1: They better not be minorities. So yeah, great, the Education
Speaker 1: Department is just doing wonderful job, a wonderful job through
Speaker 1: the years, and it's just a tragedy that they're being
Speaker 1: gutted anyway. I promised you.
Speaker 2: Now, ladies and gentlemen, the world's greatest rock and roll band,
Speaker 2: the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 1: Here's your headliner.
Speaker 2: And this is some great, great writing by Maya Sulkan
Speaker 2: in the Free Press. Headline is how do you fix schools? Teachers'
Speaker 2: union says stop Trump, ice and fascism. Maya Sulkin wrote this,
Speaker 2: Forty percent of American fourth graders have less than basic
Speaker 2: reading skills that's not proficient. Forty percent have less than
Speaker 2: the basic level of ability, and only twenty six percent
Speaker 2: of twelfth graders are considered proficient in math, according to
Speaker 2: the federal government's own educational I'm sorry Progress Assessment. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but more importantly, did they have never ending pride assemblies
Speaker 2: in the proper month at school? Because that's what I like. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're on the right track, so Maya writes. So you
Speaker 2: might think that there wasn't much else on the mind
Speaker 2: of teachers at the latest annual gathering of the nation's
Speaker 2: largest teachers union. And it's a good point. Our nation
Speaker 2: schools are miserably failing. Our government schools, I should say,
Speaker 2: miserably failing to teach kids what they need to know,
Speaker 2: so that must be the main topic. Are you blanking
Speaker 2: kidding me? No, you can, and she goes into the
Speaker 2: description of every approved business item in the agenda published
Speaker 2: by the NEEA, but one convention delegate from Texas summarized
Speaker 2: them by telling me the response she got while trying
Speaker 2: to talk to other union members about the best ways
Speaker 2: to teach reading and writing. We don't have time for that.
Speaker 2: We've got to fight Trump. Her friend was told, no,
Speaker 2: if somebody.
Speaker 1: Said that out loud, yes, wow, wow.
Speaker 2: At least at the meeting, but that extends in the classroom.
Speaker 2: You've got to fight Trump. I can't believe anybody said
Speaker 2: that out loud. This is not folks Breitbart. This is
Speaker 2: the free press, which is, you know, very carefully nonpartisan
Speaker 2: common sense. When I asked the NEA for comments, she writes,
Speaker 2: the union directed me toward a number of previous statements,
Speaker 2: including the convention speech by Becky Pringle, a middle school
Speaker 2: teacher is now anya president. We must use our power
Speaker 2: to take action that leads, action that liberates, action that lasts.
Speaker 1: She said, Here are.
Speaker 2: Some of the initiatives approved thousands of dollars to quote
Speaker 2: defend democracy against Trump's embrace of fascism by using the
Speaker 2: term fascism in which is misspelled by the way, how
Speaker 2: great is that to use the term fascism in materials
Speaker 2: to correctly characterize Donald Trump's program and actions. Also support
Speaker 2: foreign participation in the mass democratic movement against Trump's authoritarianism
Speaker 2: and violations of human rights.
Speaker 1: That includes support for the No King's.
Speaker 2: Movement, Oh that was her a shaking one, and the
Speaker 2: Los Angeles based movement to defeat Trump's attempts to use
Speaker 2: federal forces against the state of California and other states
Speaker 2: and communities. Why are schools thinking about this stuff at all?
Speaker 2: Also opposition to immigrations and custom enforcement, kidnapping of student leaders,
Speaker 2: and support for students' rights to organize against ice raids
Speaker 2: and deportations.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Main plank of the National Education Association the Teachers Union
Speaker 2: is to encourage kids to demonstrate against ice. If I
Speaker 2: was going to be slightly charitable, I wonder if it's
Speaker 2: just a over time you just assumed even within school
Speaker 2: systems or in the teachers' unions at higher levels. Maybe
Speaker 2: in the school you know it because you're up against
Speaker 2: it every day, but you're in the teachers unions at
Speaker 2: higher levels. You're not in the schools on a regular basis.
Speaker 2: You just assume the nuts and bolts part is okay,
Speaker 2: it's cruising along teach kids math and reading.
Speaker 1: That that's fine.
Speaker 2: We just we need to there's those other things we
Speaker 2: have the power to focus on, and you just somehow
Speaker 2: missed the boat that that core part, the learning part, Yeah,
Speaker 2: had gotten overlooked or decayed or whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they don't care. It's an indoctrination factory. Another
Speaker 1: a couple of UH their other resolutions that passed UH
Speaker 1: to defend students' rights to dissent and organize against Trump's policies,
Speaker 1: including attacks against LBGTQ plus students and against racism. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're I just I think about it.
Speaker 2: If you were going to build a school today, a
Speaker 2: public if I was going to maybe other people like
Speaker 2: in the town I live and wouldn't agree with me.
Speaker 2: But if it's going to build a school today, there'd
Speaker 2: be no politics in it at all.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be doing anything about any political issue.
Speaker 2: There'd be no assemblies, there'd be no speeches, there'd be
Speaker 2: no position papers. Theould be nothing like first period, second
Speaker 2: period reading, third period math again.
Speaker 1: I mean just throughout today and then you go Civics, plays,
Speaker 1: social studies, that sort of thing we're in the Constitution,
Speaker 1: and then you go home.
Speaker 2: In response to the Supreme Court ruling allowing parents stop
Speaker 2: their kids out of gender ideology and doctrination, the NEA
Speaker 2: will provide quote a sample local school board resolution that
Speaker 2: protects educators in the classroom who are teaching LGBTQ plus
Speaker 2: inclusive curriculum and content, meaning teaching your kid that radical
Speaker 2: gender theory and the genderbred person and teaching them that
Speaker 2: they can change their sexes if they want. And indeed,
Speaker 2: you don't have to tell mommy and daddy. I will
Speaker 2: help you. I will tell you where to go. That's
Speaker 2: what the NEA is concerned about. I'm just going to
Speaker 2: touch on a few more because this is quite the list.
Speaker 2: Oppose any move to eliminate the US Department of Education,
Speaker 2: a bunch of radical stuff. Commitment to the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: six federal, state and local elections as a pivotal moment
Speaker 2: for our democracy training programs to address the alarming level
Speaker 2: of discrimination against and bullying of Arab American students in
Speaker 2: the public school system. That's the whole up with the
Speaker 2: Palestinians thing, and it goes on and.
Speaker 1: On and on.
Speaker 2: The NEA is a radical leftist organization that could not
Speaker 2: give a crap about your kids. I didn't even get
Speaker 2: to a brilliant article entitled how did California's public public
Speaker 2: education go from the best in the US to the worst?
Speaker 2: But the short answer is, by following chapter and verse
Speaker 2: all of the things we just mentioned, the NA is promoting.
Speaker 2: There is no more righteous cause than fighting against the
Speaker 2: left wing and doctrination factory in America's government schools. End

Speaker 2: So that a person from Texas, who am Ia quoted
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the article said she wasn't surprised
Speaker 2: at all to see the approved business items that have
Speaker 2: nothing to do with basic educational principles. Quote it's politics,
Speaker 2: sex and gender. When delegates get up on stage, they
Speaker 2: tell you that they're political. These things do not just
Speaker 2: happen overnight. People just haven't been paying attention.
Speaker 1: God, I wish should be what there aren't.
Speaker 2: I suppose you couldn't rise to the ranks where you'd
Speaker 2: get a speaking spot, but I wish should be more
Speaker 2: people get up on stage say hey, can we just
Speaker 2: talk about math and reading?
Speaker 1: Like that's it? Never mentioned Trump.
Speaker 2: I have known and we hear from lots of teachers
Speaker 2: who are horrified, outraged, and saddened by all this. Whether
Speaker 2: y'all need to start your own union or form some
Speaker 2: sort of like you got your rebel stockholders. Sometimes you're
Speaker 2: Tovis stockholders that shake up a corporation. Y'all need to
Speaker 2: somehow find a way to band together and shake up
Speaker 2: the NEA and the other big one because they are
Speaker 2: absolutely freaking anti American far left. You know gorillas, and
Speaker 2: I think gorillas is a pretty good term, because they
Speaker 2: are operating undercover indoctrinating our children. Even if it weren't
Speaker 2: the far left part, if it's just not the core
Speaker 2: things your kid needs to learn that they're spending time on,
Speaker 2: that's a crime.
Speaker 1: That's a great point.
Speaker 2: Got mail bag on the way, can't wait to talk
Speaker 2: about how any exercise at all is so good for you.
Speaker 2: This is a good thing for everybody to know. Both
Speaker 2: my kids are fairly active, but it's a good thing
Speaker 2: to have in their head anyway. Stick around good stuff today.
Speaker 2: So I've heard many doctors say over the years two things,
Speaker 2: two things to do. You want to live long, have
Speaker 2: good genetics, and don't smoke. Those are the two things.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're gonna add a third thing, be somewhat active.
Speaker 2: Just be somewhat active based on this giant, new, biggest
Speaker 2: ever study that we'll talk about hour two. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing on
Speaker 2: our series from the Genius Thomas Soul. Genius doesn't begin
Speaker 2: to describe his brilliance. And I guess there's a book
Speaker 2: or people are talking about gene The very concept of
Speaker 2: genius is a right wing something or ound what.
Speaker 1: I haven't looked into it. Yeah, I know it's stupid.
Speaker 2: Uh. The old adage about giving a man of fish
Speaker 2: versus teaching him how to fish has been updated. Give
Speaker 2: a man of fish, and he will ask for tartar,
Speaker 2: sauce and French fries. Moreover, some politician who wants his
Speaker 2: vote will declare all of those things to be among
Speaker 2: his basic rights.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That is so good. Mailbag. I love
Speaker 1: tartar sauce. I do not. You don't love tartar sauce.
Speaker 1: It is a child sauce. Oh please, nice lob please,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, let's see. Uh well, I will tell
Speaker 1: you the fish and chips. What do you stick your
Speaker 1: fish in? Are you just not isamic vinegar? Oh?
Speaker 2: Okaytimes sometimes the sophisticated tomato bisk called ketchup. Here's your
Speaker 2: mail bag, A mail bag at Armstrong you getty dot com.
Speaker 2: We got so many emails on the Jeffrey Epstein thing,
Speaker 2: essentially saying we're fools.
Speaker 1: We need to do our research. Here's the evidence. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Well we'll hit some of those later on
Speaker 1: the show. That's fine, uh Vic wrights Jack.
Speaker 2: The millennial stare you were asking about on yesterday's show,
Speaker 2: it's the millennials don't like it. Millennials are calling people
Speaker 2: out on it. It's the gen z stare. Oh right,
Speaker 2: right right, the gen z stare. It's just what you
Speaker 2: described in your teenage son. Nothing amuses them. They've done
Speaker 2: it all, seen it all online. Onto the new threat
Speaker 2: in tariffs on Russia. What are they on. We aren't
Speaker 2: supposed to be trading with them already, right, what do
Speaker 2: we import from them?
Speaker 1: Ultimately?
Speaker 2: If I buy some Russia vodka and paid twice as
Speaker 2: much for it due to tariff's, doesn't that just punish
Speaker 2: me in my liver? Idhaca, I don't have a cute
Speaker 2: acronym vic.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the note.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gen Z stares people, the young people who just
Speaker 2: like stared through you as they check you out at
Speaker 2: the target or whatever.
Speaker 1: Jay writes.
Speaker 2: The first Democrat that crosses the line and works with
Speaker 2: Trump will be embraced enthusiastically. Trump would probably give that
Speaker 2: official more than expected, just to prove that he can
Speaker 2: make the deal.
Speaker 1: Maybe Daka who knows.
Speaker 2: Sadly, Dems appear to prefer the sidelines, squawking in their
Speaker 2: own mess. Oh, it's generally about fundraising to stay in office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who did I just read?
Speaker 2: Wrote a great piece that the Democrats have just absolutely
Speaker 2: tied themselves to thirty seventy issues. Oh it is Victor
Speaker 2: Davis Hansen across the aisle do stuff that people believe
Speaker 2: in anyway, Like this from William Guys. At work, I
Speaker 2: got in a discussion with a liberal about how the
Speaker 2: ICE agents sometimes have a mask on.
Speaker 1: The best response to that is they have COVID. What
Speaker 1: do you expect them to do? Get people sick? Oh geez.
Speaker 2: If NEWSOM can arrest people not having a mask, then
Speaker 2: ICE can arrest people while wearing them.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see.
Speaker 2: Another j from San Jose Rights on the topic of
Speaker 2: Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 1: Yes, griping about Debbie.
Speaker 2: Thinks it's inhumane to be jailed in groups and use
Speaker 2: the same toilets. She's the epitome of privilege and apparently
Speaker 2: she's just now being exposed to a small part of
Speaker 2: the real world.
Speaker 1: It's called jail.
Speaker 2: When I was in it, I had to use a
Speaker 2: roll of toilet paper as a pillow as I lay
Speaker 2: on the concrete floor.
Speaker 1: No blanky, and I was lucky. It's uncomfortable for a reason,
Speaker 1: you ignoramus.
Speaker 2: Although we did to go through one person who got
Speaker 2: swept up in in one of those facilities now, who've
Speaker 2: been here since they were eleven years old, showing up
Speaker 2: to all of their meetings trying to become a citizen,
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. So you want an open border Okay,
Speaker 2: now we'll talk about that more later. AJ says, Antifa's
Speaker 2: come up. Oh, we don't have time for this. He
Speaker 2: points that many politicians, not only the media, have told
Speaker 2: you Antifa is a myth.
Speaker 1: It's loosely argued. Don't worry about him.
Speaker 2: We have many more hours if you miss and he
Speaker 2: gets the podcast
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
