Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty, I'm strong and getty, and
Speaker 2: he I'm strong and yetty.
Speaker 3: We'll take your musty million and musty moscow rights to
Speaker 3: the moon because if you don't, we're gonna stand up.
Speaker 4: We're gonna speak up, We're gonna mark, We're gonna do
Speaker 4: anything we need to do to make sure that the
Speaker 4: people of this country understand that the SAP is for them.
Speaker 4: You get your mustard hands over the money.
Speaker 2: I put a mouthtown muster moon, what well, where to begin?
Speaker 5: First of all, that's countressman Manual Cleaver pretending to be
Speaker 5: some sort of civil rights hero while shouting about Elon
Speaker 5: Musk and concluding with get your musty hands off our money.
Speaker 2: You musty moo moo move.
Speaker 6: Had a bit of a drunk, had a bit of
Speaker 6: a James Brown thing going there.
Speaker 5: Yesterday when the Democrats were just yelling f Trump and
Speaker 5: we declared that was the bottom of the barrel of
Speaker 5: political communication, they bounce back with you musty moo moo moo.
Speaker 5: So apparently animal noises was what was in the bullpen. Okay,
Speaker 5: all right, and this guy gets elected.
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm gonna tell a story tomorrow. This is a
Speaker 6: tease for tomorrow before we move on here. Tomorrow is
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day. Today is Gallantine's Day, where apparently women get
Speaker 6: together for drinks or something go out to dinner themselves.
Speaker 2: And tomorrow's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 6: And I gotta get permission to tell this story, even
Speaker 6: though I will still try to make it vague, of
Speaker 6: a young girl who in grade school did not treat
Speaker 6: well classmate's Valentine's Day overtures that boy ended up in
Speaker 6: a life of crime, and she has always felt like
Speaker 6: it was her that day that sent him on his wayward.
Speaker 6: Who wow, god, oh man. There are more details that
Speaker 6: make it really funny, but I'll have to wait and
Speaker 6: see if I can sure those. So Randy Wingarten, we
Speaker 6: are talking about her yesterday. Coincidentally she she's still running
Speaker 6: the teacher's union or absolutely she is an actual evil
Speaker 6: human being, And don't mind, I have no problem saying
Speaker 6: that that is not hyperbole.
Speaker 2: She's evil.
Speaker 6: She she cares more about money than your kids learning,
Speaker 6: and unfortunately ended up in charge of teachers across the country.
Speaker 5: If she merely cared about money more than the kids.
Speaker 5: I could live with that. I guess she doesn't care
Speaker 5: about the kids at all. She doesn't care if they
Speaker 5: learn or not, if they're miserable or not, if they're
Speaker 5: set back and will never recover or not.
Speaker 2: She doesn't give a single s about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's she's the one that brought you school closed
Speaker 6: downs and all that sort of stuff. Anyway, here's her
Speaker 6: talking about Trump and Elon's attempt this week to go
Speaker 6: after the Department of Education.
Speaker 7: What is now coming down the pipe in this aura
Speaker 7: of efficiency.
Speaker 2: It's not efficiency, it's a viseration.
Speaker 7: It is an attempt to take the funding and take
Speaker 7: the rights away from each.
Speaker 2: And every child.
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she is more than happy to use these souls
Speaker 5: of your children as some sort of righteous bargaining chip
Speaker 5: when she'd willingly crush them for another dollar for her
Speaker 5: union members.
Speaker 6: Here's Trump making his argument for why we should do
Speaker 6: apartment away with the Department of Education a close.
Speaker 8: Oh, I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the
Speaker 8: Department of Education's a big conjab. We're ranked so they
Speaker 8: ranked the top forty countries in the world.
Speaker 2: We're ranked number fortieth.
Speaker 8: But We're ranked number one in one department costs per pupil,
Speaker 8: so we spend more for pupil than any other country
Speaker 8: in the world.
Speaker 2: But we're ranked number forty.
Speaker 8: We've been between thirty eight and forty. The last time
Speaker 8: I looked at was thirty eight, and then I looked
Speaker 8: two days ago it came out the new list. It
Speaker 8: came out at number forty. So we're ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden.
Speaker 8: I hate to say it. China, as big as it is,
Speaker 8: it's ranked in the top five, and that's our that's
Speaker 8: a primary competitor.
Speaker 2: We're ranked number forty.
Speaker 8: So if we're ranked number forty, that means something's really wrong.
Speaker 6: I would agree, and I would like to hear anybody
Speaker 6: I know. I brought this up last week. We'll say
Speaker 6: it again since nineteen seventy Somebody, if you're listening right now,
Speaker 6: and maybe you don't listen to this show, if you
Speaker 6: have this point of view, because we've annoyed you so
Speaker 6: much over the years with our point of view. But
Speaker 6: if you're of the point of view that no, the
Speaker 6: department education is very necessary and the public school system
Speaker 6: is not a disaster, please explain to me why since
Speaker 6: nineteen seventy, students have increased by eight percent, but non
Speaker 6: teaching staff has increased by one hundred and thirty eight percent.
Speaker 6: Why somebody, Have you heard anybody make the argument, why, oh,
Speaker 6: that's completely necessary, And here's why I haven't.
Speaker 2: No, no, never, absolutely not.
Speaker 5: The only thing that I will occasionally get is people
Speaker 5: will say, the federal requirements for record keeping and compliance
Speaker 5: and all are so onerous. We have an entire department
Speaker 5: filling out government forms. That probably explains.
Speaker 2: Part of it.
Speaker 6: Well, okay, that that might be the explanation, but the
Speaker 6: explanation The answer then is, well, then you've got to
Speaker 6: get rid of all the freaking forms.
Speaker 2: So you can also get rid of the people with you,
Speaker 2: not against you.
Speaker 6: The students have increased by eight percent since nineteen seventy,
Speaker 6: teaching staff by sixty percent, total staff eighty four percent,
Speaker 6: But if you take the teachers out of that total
Speaker 6: staff increase, it's one hundred and thirty eight percent non
Speaker 6: teaching staff increase. You got so many people bumping around
Speaker 6: into school in offices doing stuff that nobody did ten
Speaker 6: years ago or twenty years ago. Were sure as how
Speaker 6: forty years ago, and everything seemed to be fine, right, Well,
Speaker 6: and in the last ten years or so, a lot
Speaker 6: of it's been DEI departments. I was just I just
Speaker 6: saw the number Trump has with a stroke of a
Speaker 6: pen canceled one hundred million dollars. I think it is
Speaker 6: of DEI funding for local educational programs, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: One hundred million dollars being squandered on that garbage.
Speaker 6: I thought it was more than that. I had the numbers.
Speaker 6: But anyway, your point being.
Speaker 5: Well, that may just be you know, one particular line item.
Speaker 5: I mean, when you get into what the universities themselves
Speaker 5: are spending, never mind the directly federal funded stuff.
Speaker 2: It's the numbers are are mind blowing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but again I usually know what the argument on
Speaker 6: the other side is on a lot of big issues
Speaker 6: because I watch enough MSNBC or listen NPR, whatever, But
Speaker 6: I haven't heard the argument for why you need many
Speaker 6: multiples more people in your schools just doing something in
Speaker 6: an office.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, government education has become, like so many government
Speaker 5: agencies and programs, just this giant unwe wield the ungovernable
Speaker 5: self governing colossus. And as Elon Musk is pointing out
Speaker 5: so eloquently, yesterday and we replayed one of the pieces
Speaker 5: of audio today. If the bureaucracy is not accountable to
Speaker 5: the elected representatives, it has truly become a fourth branch
Speaker 5: of government, and it is not democratically influenced. You've lost
Speaker 5: a significant chunk of your democracy. If the government schools
Speaker 5: do what they want to do, and they're going to
Speaker 5: keep doing it and you get you don't get a say,
Speaker 5: that's a terrible, terrible way to be.
Speaker 6: So they're voting currently on RFK Junior as Health and
Speaker 6: Human Health and Human Secretary HHS Secretary, and he's supposed
Speaker 6: to pass, although McConnell is voted against. But I'll bet
Speaker 6: it's going to be the same as Tulca Gabbart, all
Speaker 6: the Republicans for, all the Democrats against all the Republicans.
Speaker 6: But it's McConnell for and he'll pass. And then patel
Speaker 6: Cash Pateel, the FBI director. He has gotten out of
Speaker 6: that committee vote just now and he'll get the full
Speaker 6: floor vote tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So it looks like.
Speaker 6: Everybody but Matt Gates that Trump initially wanted is going
Speaker 6: to get through. Yes, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5: I'm a little surprised, but we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 5: And you know, as important as some of that stuff is,
Speaker 5: I almost think it's a distraction from some of the
Speaker 5: bigger issues that we have, like we've been talking about absolutely.
Speaker 5: I mean, I came across a fabulous piece by Tony
Speaker 5: woodleyf who's a political writer, and he's talking about some
Speaker 5: of the slashing of grants and payments and the rest
Speaker 5: of it that's caused such angst and caused the people
Speaker 5: to gather in DC and sing that idiotic Union tune
Speaker 5: yesterday Side.
Speaker 6: Are You.
Speaker 5: Side?
Speaker 2: Are you fun? In the cords? And I was just
Speaker 2: bellowing it out in my bed.
Speaker 5: We had not set that up in a as friends,
Speaker 5: and as I was saying those words, half of me
Speaker 5: was hoping Michael had it.
Speaker 2: Handy, and half of me was afraid he had it handy.
Speaker 5: Anyway, it turns out that's like an old Union song
Speaker 5: from back in the day, and they're trying to revive
Speaker 5: it with idiotic new lyrics.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so all.
Speaker 5: Of that angst about how dare they cancel payments and
Speaker 5: cut back in Nylon musk and doge is unelected and scary,
Speaker 5: and it's going to ruin America in nineteen ninety three,
Speaker 5: the average state counted on federal agencies for twenty three
Speaker 5: percent of its revenue, which is a little odd. As
Speaker 5: I often say, your state like sends all that money
Speaker 5: to DC, then begs for it back and under a
Speaker 5: quarter but nearly a quarter of its budget is the
Speaker 5: largesse of our federal overlords.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 5: Last year, this average reached thirty nine percent, with two
Speaker 5: states Alaska Louisiana, dependent on.
Speaker 2: For half of their funds.
Speaker 5: And there are many state leaders who present themselves as
Speaker 5: conservatives who despise federal bloat. It might be hard to
Speaker 5: blame them for taking all that free money if not
Speaker 5: for the fact that anyone who pays more than rudimentary
Speaker 5: attention to the mechanics of federal grants knows that this
Speaker 5: money is neither free nor is it reliable. And we
Speaker 5: could certainly get into I don't think it's necessary, but
Speaker 5: as that money is collected and processed in DC and
Speaker 5: then doled out again, it is a giant money laundering
Speaker 5: cash for micronies, phony green energy, fake grants to never
Speaker 5: do anything anti homeless coalition bull crap. It's a giant
Speaker 5: money laundering exercise and just send one hundred dollars to
Speaker 5: DC and if you get back ninety of it, it's
Speaker 5: only because they've drained twenty cents of it and borrowed
Speaker 5: another ten cents to at least keep you semi happy
Speaker 5: with the amount that you get back after you beg
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 2: A horrible system. It's indefensible.
Speaker 5: As Elon said about the idiot record keeping thing we
Speaker 5: described yesterday, literally anything would be better than this, all right,
Speaker 5: But you try to change it and reform it, people say,
Speaker 5: oh no, no.
Speaker 2: That might be changed. Yikes. I'm excited.
Speaker 6: I think it's this Sunday night, that Saturday Night Lives
Speaker 6: having their big anniversary show, the fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember when they want to see the documentary
Speaker 2: about all the music that Questlove of.
Speaker 6: I saw the promos that looked pretty fantastic. Other I
Speaker 6: remember SNL's fortieth anniversary show was spectacular. God, I thought
Speaker 6: that was so entertaining. How about I watched that four times,
Speaker 6: kept that on my TVR. They're at the big fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 6: But anyway, USA Today put out a list of the
Speaker 6: twenty greatest Greatest SNL cast members all time, maybe I'll
Speaker 6: run through that at some point, see if you agree not.
Speaker 2: Among other things, we'll get to today.
Speaker 6: Stay here.
Speaker 2: I can see this.
Speaker 6: In his said a found that taking ozempi could lead
Speaker 6: to vision problems.
Speaker 2: How cruel you finally lose weight, now you're seeing double.
Speaker 2: When they heard the.
Speaker 8: Alternative to ozempic is exercise, people were just like, well, just.
Speaker 6: How blind are we talking to you?
Speaker 5: You know that second part was darkly hilarious. Ye, the
Speaker 5: first part I just thought.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't make a joke about that.
Speaker 6: No, but the second part is pretty accurate. Yeah, you
Speaker 6: could either exercise to lose weight or take this fifty
Speaker 6: percent change you go blind. Em So I need to
Speaker 6: see that bad Duman Jimmy fallon there. Who got his
Speaker 6: start on Saturday Night Live like Seth Myers did?
Speaker 2: Who's on the other show?
Speaker 6: Lots of people have it was, it says here in
Speaker 6: the USA today Saturday Night Live, which is having its
Speaker 6: fiftieth season. It started in nineteen seventy five, before many
Speaker 6: of you were born. The years, alumni have gone on
Speaker 6: to become Oscar and Emmy winners, box office superstars, late
Speaker 6: night hosts, multi hyphenated producers, and even a US senator
Speaker 6: in the name of what's his name from Minnesota who grabbed.
Speaker 5: The woman Franklin Al Franken. Well, he didn't, actually, he
Speaker 5: pantomimed it and never should have resigned. But Democrats are wacky.
Speaker 6: There have been one hundred and sixty seven cast members,
Speaker 6: with the shortest one lasting a month, the longest lasting
Speaker 6: twenty two years in Keenan Thompson, who is still on
Speaker 6: the show. I haven't heard any explanation for why they've
Speaker 6: kept him on for twenty years twenty two. I mean,
Speaker 6: he's great, but there have been a lot of the
Speaker 6: funniest people who've ever lived. But there have been lots
Speaker 6: of really funny, great people that didn't stay that long.
Speaker 6: Maybe why, well, right, why is he there? Why hasn't
Speaker 6: he gone off to do movies or something?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean because Saturday Night Live is famously on
Speaker 5: weeks that they're working tremendous amount of work.
Speaker 6: Right, and most people, most of the people become stars,
Speaker 6: they leave on their own because they're into the movie
Speaker 6: business or talk show or whatever. Or Lauren, because I've
Speaker 6: read a lot about this, Lauren gets rid of them
Speaker 6: because they're so distracted. I remember, like Chris Farley and
Speaker 6: David Spade. They're flying around making movies all the time,
Speaker 6: and it's like, Okay, you're too busy doing this to
Speaker 6: do my show, so you know, how about we get
Speaker 6: somebody else. Anyway. USA Today named the top thirty cast
Speaker 6: members of all time. I think they went out of
Speaker 6: their way to make a list that people would argue about,
Speaker 6: which is what most lists are, because I think it's wrong.
Speaker 6: And I've watched Sarah Live practically every episode over the
Speaker 6: entire fifty years. I am a Saturday Night Live devotee.
Speaker 6: Top ten of all time? Maya Rudolph. They have a
Speaker 6: ten who is absolutely hilarious and can make me laugh
Speaker 6: doing anything.
Speaker 2: Number nine, Dan Akroyd, Number eight Kate McKinnon.
Speaker 6: Wow, she should be hired in eight. But you think
Speaker 6: I would think number I don't know, she's hilarious. Number
Speaker 6: seven Chris Farley, Number six, Amy Polar Number five. Boy,
Speaker 6: I don't know he five's high, but he might need
Speaker 6: to be Top two. Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell. I remember
Speaker 6: hearing Tina Fay say one time, like some of the
Speaker 6: big people at like Adam Sandler, left and she thought,
Speaker 6: who's Will Ferrell? And then she said, oh, I realize
Speaker 6: he's the greatest sketch comedy artist of all time, which.
Speaker 2: He might be. Wow.
Speaker 6: Number four, John Belushi, Number three, Gilda Radner too high
Speaker 6: for me. I like her, but number three, number two,
Speaker 6: Phil Hartman, number one, Wow, number one. They have Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 6: I think Kristen Wig is a top fiver personally, but man,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of choices. Dana Carvey, Andy Sandberg, Fred Armison,
Speaker 6: Adam Sandler. Obviously I'll be watching Sunday Night. Their fortieth
Speaker 6: anniversary special was fantastic and hilarious. They brought back all
Speaker 6: the cast members. It was really really good.
Speaker 5: Phil Hartman, no matter how hot the kokehead babe is
Speaker 5: who comes on to you, it's a bad idea.
Speaker 6: No kidding. We now have a trans sanctuary city. Some
Speaker 6: of the arguments from the city council meeting coming up,
Speaker 6: Armstrong and Getty. One thing we were hoping would come
Speaker 6: out of COVID was people getting more involved in city,
Speaker 6: county elections, school board, that sort of stuff. I don't
Speaker 6: know if that's happened, but when we realized how much
Speaker 6: power those people have in an.
Speaker 5: Emergency and what perverse things they were doing, Yeah.
Speaker 6: This might be partially that we'll start here. We're going
Speaker 6: to get to the trans sanctuary city of Wooster Mass
Speaker 6: and the city council meeting they had last night. First,
Speaker 6: we'll start with the New York school board meeting, which
Speaker 6: descended into chaos over LGBTQIA plus books that showed up
Speaker 6: in the law library and parents got outraged. Parents took
Speaker 6: over a school board meaning this week, demanding to know
Speaker 6: why their elementary school children were exposed to this book
Speaker 6: that included depictions of naked people in bondage enthusiasts. We've
Speaker 6: heard this kind of story from all around the country.
Speaker 6: This is the classic. We put a book in there
Speaker 6: because we're sick, a weird pedophile something or others.
Speaker 2: More on that later.
Speaker 6: I don't even understand what you're trying to do, you creepos,
Speaker 6: but we put the book in the library, and then
Speaker 6: when you demand it be taken out, we call you
Speaker 6: sensors or book banners or something, right, because we tried
Speaker 6: to ban porn from little children.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, grooms.
Speaker 6: A large and animated crowd of parents gathered in a
Speaker 6: Monroe County auditorium on Tuesday and voice their concerns of
Speaker 6: the superintendent and school board about their young children having
Speaker 6: access to the book The Rainbow Parade, a celebration of
Speaker 6: lgbtqia plus identities and allies. Just this sort of book
Speaker 6: you need to have in your library when all across
Speaker 6: the country kids aren't reading at proficiency level.
Speaker 2: This is what we're focused on.
Speaker 6: The controversial book tells the story of a young girl
Speaker 6: and her two mothers attending an LGBT parade and follows
Speaker 6: a child who's exploring their quoting from the book here
Speaker 6: gender identity. The book's lesson for kids is to break
Speaker 6: down stereotypes and embrace diversity. The Rainbow Parade the book
Speaker 6: the name of the book, includes depictions of a naked
Speaker 6: person shown from behind, furries, a gay couple outfitted in leather, BDSM, bondage, domination,
Speaker 6: sado masochism, attire. Students that were shown the book were
Speaker 6: in grades one through five, meaning they're roughly ages five
Speaker 6: to eleven.
Speaker 5: Lord showing sexualized material to little kids has had only
Speaker 5: one other explanation through human history. You're grooming them for
Speaker 5: sexual abuse.
Speaker 6: So a whole bunch of outraged parents showed up good
Speaker 6: and the superintendent, Tasha Potter, had to end the school
Speaker 6: board meeting without hearing any more complaints or any voting,
Speaker 6: because it got she said, it got too chaotic. I
Speaker 6: think it was just they didn't like the politics of
Speaker 6: the people that were there. I've been involved in this
Speaker 6: sort of thing before. A lot of it is who
Speaker 6: can mask the people. That's a lot of it. And
Speaker 6: like I live in a college town, and college kids
Speaker 6: don't have jobs and don't have to get up so
Speaker 6: they can show up to these city council meetings. If
Speaker 6: there's a big conversation happening on and happening and overwhelm
Speaker 6: the tax paying parents who have to get up in
Speaker 6: the morning and take their kids to school.
Speaker 2: And then if it's not.
Speaker 6: If the crowd isn't the right direction, you can call
Speaker 6: it off. It's too chaotic, bring it back next Tuesday,
Speaker 6: and maybe the parents don't show up and the activists do,
Speaker 6: and then you know, that's the way it works a lot. Anyway,
Speaker 6: this particular school board and meeting. We are here at
Speaker 6: our board meeting, conducting our business, the superintendent said to
Speaker 6: parents who were trying to get the word in edgewise,
Speaker 6: who then booed loudly, it's our board meeting. Said one parent,
Speaker 6: We pay you, another male parent shouted as the booze
Speaker 6: rained down. The school officials called the meeting do a
Speaker 6: close without officially here any public comments. They're just leaving
Speaker 6: one parent filming the event set in disbelief. So it
Speaker 6: never really got off the ground on that one, yep,
Speaker 6: because they just hide. They didn't like the politics of
Speaker 6: the people that showed up to the meeting. So they'll
Speaker 6: they'll have their next meeting, maybe not announce it, but
Speaker 6: this sort of thing happens too. Maybe announce it last minute,
Speaker 6: or they'll get the word out to the people on
Speaker 6: their side anyway that we're having a meeting today at four,
Speaker 6: but not to the people that are going to be loud.
Speaker 6: And you know, it's really frustrating if you've ever been
Speaker 6: involved in this sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 5: They know they can't stand up to scrutiny, so they
Speaker 5: find every way they can to eliminate scrutiny.
Speaker 6: The opposite was happening in Wooster, mass where apparently their
Speaker 6: city council loves the idea of being I think the
Speaker 6: first trans sanctuary city in America, or the first of
Speaker 6: its size, or the first of the East Coast or
Speaker 6: something like that.
Speaker 2: Something.
Speaker 6: They're very proud of being a trans sanctuary city, and
Speaker 6: they were digging a lot of the commentary from the
Speaker 6: pro trans crowd that showed up. But we're just gonna
Speaker 6: play a little montage here, and then in our One
Speaker 6: More Thing podcast, we're going to play a really long
Speaker 6: segment because it is so entertaining. I watched it last
Speaker 6: night and I was like, we got to play this
Speaker 6: whole thing in our podcast because it's just too dang good.
Speaker 6: You can't believe there's that many people in a fairly
Speaker 6: small town, in this community that would show up.
Speaker 2: And speak their mind.
Speaker 5: You have somebody, Well, yeah, I was gonna say, I
Speaker 5: don't doubt for a second how entertaining it is.
Speaker 2: I'll ruin it afterward.
Speaker 6: Oh that's what I do. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: I need the city to protect me because the federal
Speaker 1: government won't.
Speaker 2: And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you.
Speaker 1: Should see how afraid of Trump I am. You better
Speaker 1: prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be here. I'm sorry, am I
Speaker 2: taking too long pleating for my life?
Speaker 9: I speak as both the b and the t in
Speaker 9: the LGBT.
Speaker 10: I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on
Speaker 10: my face so that you will hear and see me.
Speaker 11: Let us remember that the Nazis burned the books, that
Speaker 11: the Nazis burned books on gender sciences first. Now the
Speaker 11: administration has villainized and modinalized migrant workers, trans lg LGBT people.
Speaker 9: I speak as someone who is always misgendered, like all
Speaker 9: the time people refer to me as sir, when I
Speaker 9: prefer to be referred to as man.
Speaker 6: My name is Katie.
Speaker 11: Right now, in our country, Trump is threatening the trans
Speaker 11: and gender diverse community.
Speaker 2: Noticing people here are trying to control the rights of others,
Speaker 2: and that's not right. We should make westro sanctuary city
Speaker 2: for trans people. Everybody deserves to feel safe, and everybody
Speaker 2: needs to feel safe. Yeah.
Speaker 6: The worst part being the little kid there standing with
Speaker 6: his mom who was holding the script in front of
Speaker 6: him so he could read that at the microphone, obviously
Speaker 6: having not the slightest idea the context or what he
Speaker 6: was talking about. By the way, the guy who say
Speaker 6: who said I get misgendered every day and I prefer
Speaker 6: to be called ma' I mean, is like not transitioning
Speaker 6: yet apparently, or maybe he's not planning to, but he's
Speaker 6: just a dude and dude clothes. It's like, how can
Speaker 6: how can I be blamed for saying, sir, you're you're
Speaker 6: a guy dressed as a guy, look like a guy.
Speaker 2: What indication would I have?
Speaker 6: Am I supposed to ask everybody I meet?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I would be more entertained by all of it were
Speaker 5: this cult not in charge of America's schools to a
Speaker 5: large extent, any universities. I mean, that level of crazy
Speaker 5: is being taught to a lot of your children. Yet
Speaker 5: this saw This a text string from Kaylee Wliver her
Speaker 5: last name out of it. A few years ago, I
Speaker 5: infiltrated a support group of parents of quote unquote trans children.
Speaker 5: What I found they were mostly attention seeking women, eager
Speaker 5: to use their children as pawns in their own personal
Speaker 5: fight for relevance. As they say, a transgender child is
Speaker 5: like a vegan cat. We all know who's making the decisions.
Speaker 5: I feel zero guilt for exposing this child abuse.
Speaker 6: Vegan cat, Oh my god, Oh my god, that's straight
Speaker 6: out of portlandy and Fred Ormison my cat.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Well, and just to hit some of the
Speaker 2: quotes from this message board.
Speaker 6: I think it might have been in this that we'll
Speaker 6: play in the podcast One More Thing podcast, the long Montage.
Speaker 6: I think it was from this or I read it
Speaker 6: somewhere different. Yes, anyway, some mama said both of my
Speaker 6: kids are trans and I thought, okay, I'm okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2: That's Cynthia Nixon clip. Guys.
Speaker 5: If you could find that for the podcast, that would
Speaker 5: be great. But this message board, uh, this is my child.
Speaker 5: Mine is five. My child is five and a half,
Speaker 5: but new at age three. Mine is five as well,
Speaker 5: started started expressing her true self at just under two.
Speaker 5: Today she is socially transitioned. And they all congratulate for
Speaker 5: these two, three, four, five six year old children transitioning
Speaker 5: and being so brave and you're so brave and I
Speaker 5: love you so much or fully support blah blah blah,
Speaker 5: it's so obvious.
Speaker 2: What's happening? Good lord?
Speaker 6: Yeah, the person bellowing, I need to put glitter on
Speaker 6: my face just to be seen. It takes me an
Speaker 6: hour every day because born she now wants to be he,
Speaker 6: and the only way he can get people to recognize
Speaker 6: him is he is to put fake beard stuff on
Speaker 6: his face and how much work that is? What am
Speaker 6: I supposed to I don't know what I'm supposed to
Speaker 6: do about that.
Speaker 2: I had the treatment.
Speaker 6: But all this driven by is a couple of people
Speaker 6: referenced Trump becoming president, you got to be a trans
Speaker 6: sanctuary city. Now with Trump's anti trans hate coming into office.
Speaker 2: They're hurt.
Speaker 5: Those two little girls pretending to be boys. They're terrified
Speaker 5: that they'd be hunted down or something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll play the beginning that one person what they said,
Speaker 6: played the beginning of that. Again.
Speaker 1: I need the city to protect me because the federal
Speaker 1: government won't. And if you think you're afraid of Trump,
Speaker 1: you should see how afraid of Trump I am.
Speaker 2: Right, that's been mislast.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you've been miss and terrorized by activist elders and.
Speaker 2: You think you're afraid of Trump.
Speaker 6: It's like the group I was in over the weekend
Speaker 6: I mentioned the other day where everybody kept talking everybody
Speaker 6: else about it.
Speaker 2: How are you holding up?
Speaker 6: Are you doing Okay? You're staying strong like we all
Speaker 6: just are terrified under Trump being pressent? Okay, whatever. I'm
Speaker 6: holding up fine, By the way, until I have to
Speaker 6: pay my taxes which are way too high, and then
Speaker 6: I won't be holding up so well here in about
Speaker 6: a month or so, open him.
Speaker 2: And that's something social contation and a cult.
Speaker 6: As I saw a number of people respond to the
Speaker 6: really long video, I watched the montage of the people there.
Speaker 6: How are there so many mentally ill people in one spot?
Speaker 2: I think it has.
Speaker 5: To do with the nature of social contagions, which I've
Speaker 5: read about a fair enough to be dangerous, as they say,
Speaker 5: but it's you know, the Salem witch trial is the
Speaker 5: classic example of it. As that caught on and people
Speaker 5: became more and more frantic, they actually thought they'd seen
Speaker 5: these things, or they were just so desperate to be
Speaker 5: part of the people who were getting all the attention
Speaker 5: that they repeated, you know, the same lies. And you
Speaker 5: know that there are all sorts of examples of it
Speaker 5: through history of people convincing themselves of.
Speaker 2: Just ridiculous, ridiculous things.
Speaker 5: The moment it's over, everybody's like that was crazy, that
Speaker 5: was really stupid. What was everybody thinking? But in the
Speaker 5: midst of the contagion, people just get feverish. It's a
Speaker 5: weird It's like it's a bug in the program of
Speaker 5: humankind that we really ought to work out. Yeah, Elon
Speaker 5: could get to work on that next. I find it
Speaker 5: fascinating to watch. I couldn't I don't know how long
Speaker 5: the thing was. I watched that we'll put in the podcast,
Speaker 5: but I couldn't stop watching. It was just like another one.
Speaker 5: Well there's another one there with this right whatever it
Speaker 5: is thing.
Speaker 6: Odd times you think you have any explanation for that
Speaker 6: through what's going on social contagent like Joe says or whatever.
Speaker 6: Text line four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 12: An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a
Speaker 12: Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing
Speaker 12: gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions of
Speaker 12: your tax dollars out the door before inauguration Day. The
Speaker 12: gold bars were tax dollars, and tossing them off the
Speaker 12: Titanic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it. Fortunately,
Speaker 12: my awesome team at EPA has found the.
Speaker 2: Gold bars.
Speaker 5: Debt, so Lee Zelden, who's now in charge of the EPA,
Speaker 5: is clawing back billions of dollars that were illegally inappropriately
Speaker 5: handed out in the last seconds of the Biden EPA.
Speaker 2: In fact, what the heck?
Speaker 5: I hadn't planned on it, but played the next clip, Michael,
Speaker 5: if you'd be so kind.
Speaker 12: Shockingly, roughly twenty billion of your tax dollars were parked
Speaker 12: at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This
Speaker 12: scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history,
Speaker 12: and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the
Speaker 12: money in a rush job with reduced oversight. Even further,
Speaker 12: this pot of twenty billion dollars was awarded to just
Speaker 12: eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your
Speaker 12: money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far
Speaker 12: less transparency.
Speaker 6: Somebody should be jailed for that.
Speaker 2: I know we're executed.
Speaker 5: The federal government is a giant honey laundering and redistributing fraud.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just nakedly theft.
Speaker 6: Who was I talking to the other day about this?
Speaker 6: I've fantasized about this before. If I could live my
Speaker 6: life over again, I don't think this would be as fun,
Speaker 6: but it'd be kind of interesting if I had dedicated
Speaker 6: myself to getting government money, figuring out where they're throwing
Speaker 6: money around, whether it's for a dam or a bullet
Speaker 6: train or a help the Homeless project or whatever, and
Speaker 6: you know, starting a nonprofit and just all the things
Speaker 6: you can do to get government money and made that
Speaker 6: my life because I think a lot of people do
Speaker 6: and they get really really wealthy, and you don't have
Speaker 6: to accomplish much.
Speaker 5: I think once you did the first one or two,
Speaker 5: you'd probably get pretty good at it. Yeah, you could,
Speaker 5: you know, adapt the scam really really quickly well, and certainly.
Speaker 6: You get in with the crowd that also does it,
Speaker 6: you become one of them. They'd be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: Jack who runs the non off it homeless for bullet
Speaker 6: trains thing. Oh yeah, he's great, Send him some money.
Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, exactly, and he'll turn out the vote
Speaker 5: if nothing else.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So we posited yesterday that political communication had gotten as
Speaker 5: low as it could when they were just saying F Trump,
Speaker 5: F Trump, these are Congress people. Then we had this humdinger,
Speaker 5: which is one of my favorite clips of the decade,
Speaker 5: perhaps sixty four, Michael Dlon's.
Speaker 3: Broth take your musket millions and must Mosca writes to
Speaker 3: the moon Because if you don't, we're gonna stand up.
Speaker 2: We're gonna speak up. We're gonna mart We.
Speaker 4: Gotta do anything we need to do to make sure
Speaker 4: that the people of.
Speaker 2: This country understand that the say is for them. You
Speaker 2: get some mustard hands, all the money I got a mouthtown.
Speaker 2: You must have moved the moon. You musty move o
Speaker 2: moo mooh okay.
Speaker 5: And that was over trying not to toss gold bars
Speaker 5: off the deck of the Titanic.
Speaker 2: How dare he and is?
Speaker 5: The conversation descends even further Clip thirty six. This is
Speaker 5: Congressman Robert Garcia of cal Unicornia.
Speaker 10: Carrowman Green literally showed a dick pic in our oversight
Speaker 10: congressional hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. Now, this,
Speaker 10: of course we know is President Elon Musk.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, I get its clever.
Speaker 5: Then Mara Gay was a member of the New York
Speaker 5: Times editorial board. I just clipped a little bit of this.
Speaker 5: She's talking to Chuck Schumer about how he's gonna fight
Speaker 5: like hell and beat Trump and stop this. Ess that's
Speaker 5: what we're doing, She writes. It was a welcome sign
Speaker 5: of life. For three weeks now, President Trump and the
Speaker 5: world's richest man have ransacked from within a democracy that
Speaker 5: took two hundred and fifty years to build.
Speaker 2: Who's saying this?
Speaker 5: Marra Gay of The New York Times edits top President
Speaker 5: Trump and the world's richest man of ransacked from within
Speaker 5: a democracy that took two hundred and fifty years to build,
Speaker 5: and then she mentions that the country faces the second
Speaker 5: crisis and opposition party that doesn't seem to know how
Speaker 5: to respond.
Speaker 2: Well, that part is true, right, different.
Speaker 6: Kinds of people, I guess, so wasting money, agencies that
Speaker 6: don't need to exist. That's not ransacking democracy or getting
Speaker 6: far away from the founding vision.
Speaker 2: But stopping it is stopping it is that's right. You
Speaker 2: musty moo moo moo.
Speaker 6: And I think they actually believe it because they just
Speaker 6: believe in government in a way that I don't get.
Speaker 5: But I think they're believers believe in it. I think
Speaker 5: those people are absolute crooks. They just understand that they're
Speaker 5: scam depends on them making these fake moral civil rights
Speaker 5: arguments whatever that means.
Speaker 2: So is your sister, Oh, your sister.
Speaker 6: We do four hours of this every day, which is plenty.
Speaker 6: If you don't get every segment every hour, look for
Speaker 6: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Armstrong and getty
