Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettidie and He Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1: We have a number of interesting texts of the whole
Speaker 1: online dating conversation on how match dot Com owns all
Speaker 1: the big companies, now not all of them, but most
Speaker 1: of the ones you've heard of are owned by one company.
Speaker 1: And there's some belief that they've changed the algorithm to
Speaker 1: make sure you don't match with somebody because that'd be
Speaker 1: the end of you as a customer.
Speaker 2: I mean that kinda is logical.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the the Facebook in reverse principle. And he
Speaker 3: is engaged as long and as frequently as possible.
Speaker 1: And I feel like they can count on desperation I
Speaker 1: hate to use that word, but you know, or desire
Speaker 1: desires a better word. They can count on desire for
Speaker 1: companionship or less to keep people around. But anyway, we've
Speaker 1: got some interesting texts on that. We'll get to it
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm so a old and married that you
Speaker 3: know all of this. It's it's just something I hear about.
Speaker 3: I have no personal experience whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I'm not married, but I have no personal experience with
Speaker 1: the with it. It sounds it just seems awful to me,
Speaker 1: But it might be because I grew up in a
Speaker 1: world where nobody did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had This is a weird experience.
Speaker 3: But I was on an airplane and the guy in
Speaker 3: front of me to my left, so I could see,
Speaker 3: like between the seats exactly what he was doing. And
Speaker 3: he was a young guy, good looking guy is twenties,
Speaker 3: flipping through one of the dating sites, swiping left, and
Speaker 3: it struck me how utterly bored and listless he was
Speaker 3: doing it. It was like he was a you know,
Speaker 3: the accounting supervisor, just flipping through the reports of his
Speaker 3: own nderlings to make sure there are no obvious mistakes.
Speaker 2: There was zero joy, yeah, or like not even lust.
Speaker 3: It was it was a weird juxtaposition of what he
Speaker 3: was doing in his obvious body language.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I get that sense from some people I know who
Speaker 1: do the online dating a lot, that it's there's there's
Speaker 1: a certain amount of that. It's almost like out out
Speaker 1: of boredom, I need something to do, as opposed to
Speaker 1: you know, looking for the biggest connection and decision you're
Speaker 1: ever going to make in your life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, anyway, more on that, if we have time
Speaker 3: to squeeze it in moron WHOOPI Goldberg's moronic statement that
Speaker 3: being black in America is worse than being a woman
Speaker 3: in Iran, or something to that effect. But first, it's
Speaker 3: Friday tradition. Let's take a fond look back at the
Speaker 3: week that was. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 2: Squeezy feline way implying it. I just called it. I
Speaker 2: think a sleezy feline.
Speaker 5: The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to
Speaker 5: reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.
Speaker 2: Paso yo.
Speaker 4: Is our pilots will deal blows to the Aetoa regime
Speaker 4: that they cannot even imagine.
Speaker 1: You're going to see some surprises that will make the
Speaker 1: deeper almost seem simple.
Speaker 2: The Israel identified a window to kill Ayatola Ali Hamoni.
Speaker 6: The president says, we know exactly where the so called
Speaker 6: Supreme Leader is hiding.
Speaker 2: He is an easy target.
Speaker 7: Two very simple words, a very simple unconditional surrender. Iran
Speaker 7: Supreme Leader has said unconditional surrender is effectively out of.
Speaker 2: The question, and this isn't the generational moment. You and
Speaker 2: I may do it. I may not do it.
Speaker 5: I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. Based
Speaker 5: on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations
Speaker 5: that may or may not take place with Iran in
Speaker 5: the near future. I will make my decision whether or
Speaker 5: not to go within the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: But it's also going to end, I believe, Trump's presidency
Speaker 1: and effectively end it.
Speaker 2: Why are we so afraid of them? Why are they
Speaker 2: the biggest threat of throw a week country that's on
Speaker 2: its knees.
Speaker 1: Because they're trying trying to keep track, they're trying to
Speaker 1: develop that be a little less snarky.
Speaker 2: I know you're right, that is a problem that I have.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, No, it's all you're doing your threat. Well
Speaker 2: you just said threat. Would you like to rewind the tape?
Speaker 2: And by the way, why are you being so defensive?
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, You've gotten very, very defensive, And
Speaker 1: I just wonder it must have been working. I must
Speaker 1: have hit a hot spot with you or something to
Speaker 1: be so defensive. Here in Washington, it was a celebration
Speaker 1: officially to mark the Army's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 7: Authority say a suspected gunman impersonating a police officer targeted
Speaker 7: to Democratic lawmakers.
Speaker 8: The Supreme Court's conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban on some
Speaker 8: gender affirming medical care for the Panthers, we.
Speaker 4: Are back to back, stayed like top champions. Then I
Speaker 4: tried popperman Our prescription helps your body secrete a special
Speaker 4: pheromone that attracts puppies.
Speaker 9: I think it's very different in the United States in
Speaker 9: twenty twenty five than it is to live in.
Speaker 1: A lot of you for everybody, not if your black
Speaker 1: who watches those hags and it's both handcuffed.
Speaker 4: And march down a hallway repeatedly asking why am I
Speaker 4: being detained?
Speaker 2: Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 3: If you put that Alex Padilla a clip on a
Speaker 3: loop and just played it over and over again, I
Speaker 3: think it would take me a solid seven or eight
Speaker 3: minutes to get tired of it, right, I would still
Speaker 3: be giggling after five.
Speaker 1: Here's a headline that helped me get rid of my
Speaker 1: breakfast therapy. It's therapy bro Summer.
Speaker 2: Oh, for God's sake, can we stop naming our summers? Immediately?
Speaker 1: Stop naming summers and moons Hot Girl Summer brat summer.
Speaker 2: Whatever the hell in the moon's summer moon ro what
Speaker 2: is there are? Summer summer? All right? So with some texts.
Speaker 2: We got this from last hour.
Speaker 1: If you don't know what we're talking about it, grab
Speaker 1: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Jack next time,
Speaker 1: don't goose step as you walk to your car and
Speaker 1: you won't have that problem.
Speaker 2: It's a very good point. There's a good suggestion.
Speaker 3: It's how he keeps the sam strings loose. It's excellent
Speaker 3: for flexibility on the whole online dating thing. Online dating
Speaker 3: is fine, but it gets old.
Speaker 1: I had good experiences, but some of my friends were
Speaker 1: all men, had bad experiences. Because then I did read
Speaker 1: this in one article. I was reading about this because
Speaker 1: it's like ninety ninety to one women to men. You
Speaker 1: can be way juicier. Obviously it's just math, right Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is the way it out. Average women all want
Speaker 1: highly desirable men, whereas average men are perfectly happy with
Speaker 1: average women. That's his take. Hmm, I don't know. Somebody
Speaker 1: suggested a dating app, I'm not looking for one. After
Speaker 1: my divorce at age thirty eight, I turned to Tinder
Speaker 1: and tried dating for the first time in eighteen years.
Speaker 1: I had some fun lots of fake profiles and actual prostitutes,
Speaker 1: but you just have to filter through them. Every article
Speaker 1: I've read about this said never ending bots in fake profiles.
Speaker 1: So I think that is happens, like happens with anything
Speaker 1: in the modern world. If a site is good and
Speaker 1: successful and working for people, it will be taken over
Speaker 1: by bots and then no longer be good, right until
Speaker 1: a new one comes along.
Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, that's really annoying. Yeah, what are the bots.
Speaker 1: Trying to accomplish and dating sites? And what do they
Speaker 1: look like?
Speaker 3: Maybe you know, I'm sure it's scammers to a large extent,
Speaker 3: but I actually have a handful of AI headlines that
Speaker 3: are kind of interesting as it's taking over the world
Speaker 3: in fits and starts. This person so hallucinating, as we
Speaker 3: learned personally earlier.
Speaker 1: Just to end this text, turned after my divorce age
Speaker 1: thirty eight, turned to tender blah blah blah, did a
Speaker 1: lot of dating, found a great gal and have had
Speaker 1: an amazing relationship for two years, going strong.
Speaker 2: Ps.
Speaker 1: I'm fat, have kids and crazy hobbies. See he found
Speaker 1: dates even being fat and having crazy hobbies. Whatever those
Speaker 1: crazy hobbies are.
Speaker 2: How crazy like killing neighborhood cats or human bird houses,
Speaker 2: human taxidermy. That's crazy and she was willing to overlook
Speaker 2: it apparently.
Speaker 3: Wow, you know what, I've got a riff on that
Speaker 3: going through my head right now, but it's probably too disgustingly,
Speaker 3: so for once in my life, I'll restrain myself. So
Speaker 3: some AI news really good commentary on Tucker Carlson's conversation
Speaker 3: with Ted Cruz, which touches on his unfair style of
Speaker 3: arguing and selective facts, among other things. Was that a
Speaker 3: tease for later, let's tease for later? Oh, okay, gotcha,
Speaker 3: and we will get to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we probably ought to update you on where things
Speaker 1: are with potential war with Iran since that has been
Speaker 1: kind of put on the back burner, or maybe that's
Speaker 1: a faint as they say, m Yeah, Trump said I'll
Speaker 1: make a decision in two weeks because they're going to
Speaker 1: do it today.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And where's the whole Israel's claim that we've got something
Speaker 1: that will make the Beeper operation seem like nothing is
Speaker 1: that coming?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Stay tuned.
Speaker 7: As an operator someone who's been a combatant commander of
Speaker 7: the the United States. The first thing I think is
Speaker 7: could this possibly be a ruse of some kind to
Speaker 7: kind of blow the Iranians into a false sense of security. I,
Speaker 7: for one, noted the President didn't say I'll make a.
Speaker 10: Decision after two weeks. He said within two weeks. To me,
Speaker 10: that's keeping open the possibilities. So point one, could this
Speaker 10: be a way to sort of soothe the Iranians and
Speaker 10: make them feel not as jumpy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, former NATO commander there with that obvious point, I think,
Speaker 1: but what is amazed when people break down phrases like that,
Speaker 1: like it's a legal document. He said within two weeks,
Speaker 1: not after two weeks, And so if he bombed after
Speaker 1: two weeks, what are.
Speaker 2: You going to sue him?
Speaker 4: Or?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, And I just don't know enough about
Speaker 3: the jumpiness of Iran, as General Straveritez put it, and
Speaker 3: how that affects their preparedness, say to shoot down one
Speaker 3: of our P two stealth bombers or something.
Speaker 1: So well, but my point is Trump could come out
Speaker 1: today and say I've decided to never bomb Iran. It
Speaker 1: was a terrible idea, I'm never doing it, and then
Speaker 1: bomb a half hour later. He's allowed to do that.
Speaker 1: So parsing his words seems weird to me. There is
Speaker 1: a pull from you Gov that came out that's getting
Speaker 1: a fair amount of attention because it's one of your
Speaker 1: respected polling organizations. Where well, I'll hit you with the
Speaker 1: exact phrasing of the question, which is important always uh
Speaker 1: if I can find it. Should the US military get
Speaker 1: involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran? Should the
Speaker 1: US military get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran?
Speaker 1: Only sixteen percent yes. Got to admit I thought it
Speaker 1: was a lot higher than that sixteen percent yes. Now
Speaker 1: they're twenty four percent unsure, but that's only brings you
Speaker 1: up to forty percent. It's a sixty forty no.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have quibbles, quibbles that the question seems design to
Speaker 3: suppress the yes vote because it is so open ended,
Speaker 3: which is not completely unfair. I will grant you that
Speaker 3: the US military becomes involved. I mean that covers an
Speaker 3: enormous range of levels of involvement.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's more fair than, though, than saying, should
Speaker 1: the United States help rand bomb the FORHDO nuclear site?
Speaker 1: Because there's just such a big chance when you unleash
Speaker 1: the dog's war of it becoming.
Speaker 2: More than that, right, Although.
Speaker 3: I think pointing that out in the question is prejudicial
Speaker 3: as opposed to polling people's attitudes about bombing the photo site,
Speaker 3: because that's what we're talking about, because a certain percentage
Speaker 3: of people would essentially think what you just said an
Speaker 3: answer Accordingly, if you hand them the excuse to say
Speaker 3: no in the question, that's prejudicial to me.
Speaker 2: You aren't surprised that even the.
Speaker 1: Way it's worded, it's only sixteen percent yes, no, No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: It's pretty low. It's very low and.
Speaker 1: A long party. You break it down by party, it
Speaker 1: largely holds up across party line. Sixty five percent of
Speaker 1: Democrats are a no, sixty one percent of independence are
Speaker 1: a no, and even fifty three percent of Republicans are
Speaker 1: a no.
Speaker 2: So I don't know where that leaves you.
Speaker 1: I mean, the president shouldn't be making this decision based
Speaker 1: on polls, and you know, if it's successful, nobody will
Speaker 1: care what this poll was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at this Grayhouse polling poll. It's getting
Speaker 3: so much attention because it had very different numbers, and
Speaker 3: I don't believe I'd ever heard of this organization. I'm
Speaker 3: looking at the way the poll's constructed seems perfectly legitimate,
Speaker 3: but it is such an outlier. Do you support or
Speaker 3: oppose Israel's recent military strikes against Iron's nuclear facilities and
Speaker 3: military targets strongly support is sixty seven percent.
Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 1: I think it's sixteen shocked me for being so low,
Speaker 1: but dang, near two thirds seems really high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's a different question though. Yeah, you caught
Speaker 2: that right, Yeah, uh yeah, yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 3: I tell you what, it's a hell of a job
Speaker 3: sorting through information data journalism.
Speaker 2: Well these days I.
Speaker 1: Come back often, which I hate to even mention it
Speaker 1: on the air because it destroys like.
Speaker 2: Half of our show.
Speaker 1: But Sarah is ger of The Dispatch who has been
Speaker 1: involved in polling for presidential campaigns and all kinds of
Speaker 1: different stuff. Super smart person. She says, issue polling is
Speaker 1: very close to worthless because because of the way you
Speaker 1: can nudge people different directions, and because they're no or
Speaker 1: yes doesn't necessarily reflect where they are anyway. You have
Speaker 1: a tendency to say no on things you could be
Speaker 1: brought over to yes like that or vice versa.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's what was usually, you know.
Speaker 1: One example might be uh, you hated every time I
Speaker 1: point out that during the election, two thirds of people
Speaker 1: said they wanted every undocumented person in the country booted out.
Speaker 3: Right, That was a directional statement, not a literal statement, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: look at them and talking about them, though, because this
Speaker 3: sort of thing is useful. I think the reverse of
Speaker 3: that would be if it becomes a bigger news story
Speaker 3: that the Trump administration is raiding farms and restaurants and
Speaker 3: whatever and booting out people that have no other crime
Speaker 3: other than being here here illegally.
Speaker 1: That's going to pull very poorly. But people at the
Speaker 1: end of the day are going to be happy that
Speaker 1: it happened. I think as a majority that we really
Speaker 1: stopped illegal immigration and finally did something about it.
Speaker 3: If indeed that last part comes true, and this is
Speaker 3: what I was trying to express poorly, I think this
Speaker 3: sort of discussion about issues. Polling is useful because in
Speaker 3: most other forms people just hear the number and say, oh,
Speaker 3: how interesting, And you know, that is a nugget of information,
Speaker 3: but it really needs to be interpreted.
Speaker 2: So my gripe.
Speaker 3: Against the point of view you just expressed this, I
Speaker 3: don't a I don't think that's right. I think more
Speaker 3: people than you think are soft hearted about the honest,
Speaker 3: hard working illegal immigrant in America once they see the
Speaker 3: reality the round up. I say, support continues to decline
Speaker 3: the more people are confronted with the reality of it.
Speaker 1: Man, I think you get to the next presidential election,
Speaker 1: the party that stopped illegal immigration and did something about
Speaker 1: it is going to be rewarded rather than.
Speaker 2: Penalized.
Speaker 3: Don't make me drop another sea bomb? Does Congress even
Speaker 3: know there it is? The sea bomb?
Speaker 2: Does Congress even know they're supposed to pass laws?
Speaker 1: At this point, I'd rather hear the actual sea bomb
Speaker 1: than the word you just used.
Speaker 2: That's how offensive I find it. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: Driving to uh Dodgers game tonight, Me and my son
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Can't wait.
Speaker 3: Just received a little communic key from my wife. I
Speaker 3: think we're caught up in a Kafka novel. I'm not
Speaker 3: sure how it happened, but we are, or a Gulag archipelago.
Speaker 3: It's some sort of bizarro bureaucratic nightmare. Well, maybe I'll
Speaker 3: describe it before the show is over.
Speaker 1: And what you got to give us a rough idea
Speaker 1: of what category we're talking.
Speaker 3: About well, my wife has been jailed for quadruple homicide
Speaker 3: and as it turns it, no, I'm kicking h no.
Speaker 3: So we're doing this remodel project that I've talked about
Speaker 3: several times and to ease cash flow situations because we
Speaker 3: have the money, but we're getting a home equity line
Speaker 3: of credit. So if the contractor says, hey, we need
Speaker 3: to X amount right now, and you know, we don't
Speaker 3: have that much cash leaning around, we'll say, okay, great,
Speaker 3: we'll just tap the line. So anyway, we've been we
Speaker 3: actually switched banks because of it's boring. But so the
Speaker 3: finances are completely fine. We're borrowing a tiny fraction of.
Speaker 2: The value of the house.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. The these have.
Speaker 3: To send an appraiser out and he has to delay
Speaker 3: a week because he's on vacation or something like that.
Speaker 3: So he comes out and he looks around and he says, oh,
Speaker 3: oh my, you've already taken down the railing on your
Speaker 3: back patio because it's elevated a little bit.
Speaker 2: And he says, that's okay. So that's uh.
Speaker 3: I mean, this house is not technically up to code
Speaker 3: now and because the work has begun blah, blah blah.
Speaker 3: And the bank lady just talked to my wife, I guess,
Speaker 3: and said, yeah, because the work it already begun, they're
Speaker 3: not sure if they can underwrite you.
Speaker 2: And and and I'm like, well, wait a second, wait
Speaker 2: a say, wait a second.
Speaker 3: So if the appraiser had shown up the previous day,
Speaker 3: everything would be fine. Yes, even though we're doing the
Speaker 3: same work in the same way, on the same schedule,
Speaker 3: and we need the money for the same reason, and
Speaker 3: it's the same house with the same value, it's just
Speaker 3: the day of the week your guy showed up to
Speaker 3: do the appraisal.
Speaker 2: Now everything's been queered. What are you talking about? You know,
Speaker 2: I learned one lesson one time.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this, but if an elect if an
Speaker 1: actual electrician lis this is a way it is in California.
Speaker 1: Have an actual electrician. Once they open something up, when
Speaker 1: they find stuf, it has to.
Speaker 2: Be brought up to code.
Speaker 1: So particularly on like rural properties like I'd been living
Speaker 1: on for the last twenty years, where people tend to
Speaker 1: do stuff themselves without permits and everything like that, which
Speaker 1: is one of the things I love about living in
Speaker 1: the country. But you get an actual electrician and they
Speaker 1: open up the wall. They have to bring everything up
Speaker 1: to code by law. And one time I had this,
Speaker 1: like I was just trying to get an outlet working
Speaker 1: and I didn't know this.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 1: All I want to do is get this outlet working,
Speaker 1: and it ended up costing like eight thousand dollars. Wow.
Speaker 2: They have to bring everything up to code. Wow. So
Speaker 2: they become like ad hoc code enforcers. Yes, if they
Speaker 2: see it's like a mandatory reporter of like childhood. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: good example. Yeah, I just dude, do you think we
Speaker 2: have plenty of money to pay you back?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah? Do you think the value of the house
Speaker 3: morton covers the loan? I mean, like by multiples? Oh
Speaker 3: yeah yeah yeah yeah, So why can't we have the
Speaker 3: line of credit? Well, we don't underwrite already begun projects
Speaker 3: buy a.
Speaker 2: Day through that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Bureaucracy stuff makes me insane, Like I could, I could.
Speaker 1: I could become violent over bureaucracy stuff anything.
Speaker 2: Since I was a little kid, I've always been this way.
Speaker 1: Well, because that's a rule, but it doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense in this situation.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any difference. So why don't we ignore
Speaker 2: that rule? Well, it's the rule.
Speaker 3: You know, if I had enough money, I would buy
Speaker 3: the bank and walk in and fire all the employees
Speaker 3: and say, if i'd come here yesterday, you'd still have
Speaker 3: your jobs. But I'm coming today, so I'm going to
Speaker 3: fire you all because I don't employ you know, people
Speaker 3: I meet on Tuesdays.
Speaker 2: So and that's a rule. So you know what the
Speaker 2: blank and blank I'm telling you.
Speaker 8: So my wife and I we have an electrical outletter
Speaker 8: too that's not working. Maybe I should just leave it
Speaker 8: alone then.
Speaker 1: Oh you yeah, yeah, or try to fix it yourself,
Speaker 1: because it might be something easy. You know, you take
Speaker 1: it out and the wire's hanging off, you put it
Speaker 1: back on, or something like this. Just a dead outlet.
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, replace the outlet.
Speaker 1: They cost like five bucks. But yeah, you get an
Speaker 1: electrician open that up and they find out, oh no,
Speaker 1: the the wire they used back Maybe that was okay
Speaker 1: back when they put it in, but now current coded,
Speaker 1: it has to be this gauge wire. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to redo it all. Something like that. I'm going
Speaker 1: to rewire the house. Yeah, fabulous.
Speaker 3: Speaking of things that ought to be rewired, how about
Speaker 3: the idiot whoopee Goldberg. His brain doesn't work, if it
Speaker 3: ever did. She said this, I want to follow this
Speaker 3: transition here speaking.
Speaker 2: It was hard. You don't get hard. You're too You're
Speaker 2: a simple man.
Speaker 6: That need to be rewired. How about Whoopy Goldburg? Her brain? Yes,
Speaker 6: her brain does not work, right, She is a dope.
Speaker 3: Working there with the cast of chattering hens, the hags,
Speaker 3: as I referred to them earlier on the view.
Speaker 2: She said this the other day. I just remember you.
Speaker 9: The Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings. They
Speaker 9: don't hear the basic humans.
Speaker 1: Here's the Let's not Let's not do that.
Speaker 8: Let's not do that, because if we start with that,
Speaker 8: we have we have been known in this country to
Speaker 8: tie gay folks to the car where.
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm but where the.
Speaker 10: Iranian is just black people.
Speaker 9: So's it not even the same? I couldn't step No,
Speaker 9: that's not.
Speaker 2: What you mean to say. It is the same. No,
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 9: The year twenty twenty five. The United States is nothing
Speaker 9: like if I step.
Speaker 2: Foot wearing this young inter this is the old firm.
Speaker 9: So I'm sorry, I mean, I think it's very different
Speaker 9: to live in the United States in twenty twenty five
Speaker 9: than it is to live in.
Speaker 2: A lot if you're black, for everybody, not if you're black.
Speaker 2: If you're black, Lord, it's worse to be black in America,
Speaker 2: or the same as being living being a woman in Iran.
Speaker 1: Moral relativism, and I won't go off on that screen again,
Speaker 1: but plenty of people written this moral relativism is one
Speaker 1: of the most dangerous things to Western society that exists.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's wokeism, is what it is. Will
Speaker 2: be damn.
Speaker 3: Near said that, and obviously this didn't happen. But Joe Getty,
Speaker 3: you can't criticize Hitler and his treatment of the Jews.
Speaker 3: You got in a fistfight with Jonah Goldberg once over
Speaker 3: the you know, his damn dog posts on social media,
Speaker 3: so you've been known to hurt Jews too. What a
Speaker 3: moronic argument, and then you know, come for that, stay
Speaker 3: for the professional victimhood. I mean, good lord, what an
Speaker 3: ignorant statement, series of statement.
Speaker 1: Ononder what Ted Danson thinks now google it.
Speaker 3: He just drops his needs and thanks God every night.
Speaker 3: Greg Guttfeldt took a shot at this. I I help
Speaker 3: it was sensitive and gentle. Speaking of the view would
Speaker 3: be Goldberg insisted that life in the US is just as.
Speaker 2: Brutal as living in Iran.
Speaker 1: Well, in that case, lady, from now on, please cover
Speaker 1: your face.
Speaker 2: That's just I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Too many of his punchlines are adolescent meanness. What they are,
Speaker 3: They're just a lot of the punchlines are you're ugly
Speaker 3: or you're fat?
Speaker 2: Are both?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Exactly?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: How about a little bonus mail bag in the mood
Speaker 2: for that. Yeah, it's email.
Speaker 1: It's not regular mail, all right. Electronic mail is what
Speaker 1: it stands for. Yes, we receive probably a dozen actual
Speaker 1: mailed correspondents per year. Frequently it's books folks have written
Speaker 1: and would love for us to take a look at
Speaker 1: it and maybe talk about it, that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: which is fine. Or frequently it's the writings of a
Speaker 1: maniac that too anonymous rights. Where's the nationwide injunction when
Speaker 1: we need it? I can't believe it took a Scotis.
Speaker 3: Decision to allow state to stop experimental mutilation of children.
Speaker 3: I know, on the rare occasion that I ever get
Speaker 3: into a big, long, serious discussion with somebody about irreversible
Speaker 3: chemical and or surgical procedures on miners, I try to
Speaker 3: ask the following questions. One, given that the majority of
Speaker 3: miners who believe they are of the other gender revert
Speaker 3: to believing in their original gender, that's absolutely indisputable. By
Speaker 3: the way, how can we ever justify performing experimental, irreversible
Speaker 3: procedures on non grown ups who may grow out of
Speaker 3: their temporary gender dysphoria. Well, that's why the pro gender
Speaker 3: bending folks lie about this stuff. They repeatedly say for
Speaker 3: the record that these are reversible treatments, they're not permanent
Speaker 3: at all, which is just a lie. And they deny
Speaker 3: that the vast majority of kids realize now I'm a girl.
Speaker 3: I was just afraid of puberty and I kind of
Speaker 3: like being a girl for instance. And his second point,
Speaker 3: using the same reasoning of the so called trans community,
Speaker 3: if a child quote unquote knows they don't want to
Speaker 3: have children, why not let them choose to new to
Speaker 3: themselves chemically or surgically as miners. Going further, there's a
Speaker 3: reason we don't let depressed children choose to end it all.
Speaker 2: They are just children.
Speaker 3: So I don't get why we even needed the Scotis
Speaker 3: to rule that a state can make laws governing this process.
Speaker 3: It makes it seem like a state that passes laws
Speaker 3: in the opposite direction can legalize child mutilation or child euthanasia.
Speaker 3: Right by that reasoning, the Scotis is treating this exactly
Speaker 3: like abortion, i e. Letting the states decide mutilation of
Speaker 3: children is not a state's rights issue. Where is the
Speaker 3: nationwide injunction when we need it? Well, I'm going to
Speaker 3: keep that around and reread it Monday. That is freaking brilliant.
Speaker 3: Well done, al, I know who you are. Got this
Speaker 3: from Eric Yahoo Karate in a beautiful Astoria, Oregon, guys. Well,
Speaker 3: Around's nuclear weapons are a huge threat. The other significant
Speaker 3: factor of Iranian ballistic missiles that could deliver a nuclear
Speaker 3: pay In early June, y'all reported the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 3: story that Iron had recently ordered thousands of tons of
Speaker 3: ammonium perclorate from China. Ammonium perklarate and a key oxidizer,
Speaker 3: has no other use than to build solid fuel rocket motors.
Speaker 3: We use ammonium perclarate in our Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles,
Speaker 3: for example. Already armed with medium range ballistic missiles, including
Speaker 3: one that is based on North Korean design, how long
Speaker 3: would it take for Iran to build its own ICBMs,
Speaker 3: perhaps the type North Korea already likes, likely fields. I
Speaker 3: am far less concerned with US military involvement in the
Speaker 3: Persian Gulf in the prospect of a wacky regime able
Speaker 3: to range US cities with thermonuclear warheads. In fact, I'm
Speaker 3: willing to saddle up and ride a nuke slim Pickens
Speaker 3: style to ensure this threat is eliminated. Cheers reference to
Speaker 3: the great Doctor Strangelove of these sixties.
Speaker 1: By the way, we haven't mentioned cringe today, which just
Speaker 1: learned about. There was a former CIA dude on MSNBC
Speaker 1: this morning talking about cringe.
Speaker 2: It's a common acronym. I guess they throw around.
Speaker 1: In the hallowed halls of intelligence agencies.
Speaker 2: Cringe stands out.
Speaker 3: Like a James Bond villain organization. Then he opposes the
Speaker 3: forces of cringe.
Speaker 1: I don't know who decided everything has to be an acronym,
Speaker 1: And sometimes I feel like they come up with acronyms
Speaker 1: and then have to jam things in them to get
Speaker 1: a word. But it's China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, then
Speaker 1: general extremists.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a stretch to get to cringe. They pulled
Speaker 3: a hammy to get the spelling. You're absolutely right. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: is it worth playing the clip?
Speaker 2: No? Okay? Uh plunging on. I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's kind of long. That's kind of long too. About
Speaker 3: June teenth, mentions that there were still other people enslaved
Speaker 3: for six months longer in Kentucky because that was a
Speaker 3: Union state that had slaves but hadn't gone over the Confederacy.
Speaker 3: They didn't get free to leaven longer. So let's be
Speaker 3: accurate about Juneteenth. You know, he's not quivering, he's just.
Speaker 2: Pointing it out. We aren't going to change the date.
Speaker 2: Probably no, probably not. And then.
Speaker 3: There's some dispute as to what the fabulous Tim Sanderfer
Speaker 3: said that juneteenths is our most libertarian holiday.
Speaker 2: Hmm more than July fourth. I don't see it.
Speaker 3: JT writes the Declaration of Independence set a new political
Speaker 3: standard that redefined the meaning of the basis for liberty,
Speaker 3: not only for our burgeoning nation, but for the world.
Speaker 2: July fourth, enough, law, your thumbs off for liberty. We
Speaker 2: will finish strong. Next, Trader Joe's.
Speaker 7: Just opened a new store in California that is directly
Speaker 7: across from an existing.
Speaker 2: Trader Joe's.
Speaker 3: Customers love it, while Stone cashiers have never been more confused.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's probably not interesting, But why is a Trader
Speaker 1: Joe's opening up next to a Trader Joe's.
Speaker 3: I suspect as soon as it's ready to go, they'll
Speaker 3: close the first one.
Speaker 2: You're probably right, yeah, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Apparently the cashiers there are arijuana abusers, allegedly.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a shocking allegation. It's a true one.
Speaker 2: It's a true allegation. Yes, but Joe's employee and that fits.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh okay, So it's a cultural thing at Trader Joe's.
Speaker 2: I worked there for like seven years and it was
Speaker 2: a huge deal, really, more so than like if you
Speaker 2: worked at a Ralph's. Why. Oh yeah, it's got like
Speaker 2: a hippie culture.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, Marl, Yeah, okay, all right, little trivia question
Speaker 3: for you everybody. You can play along at home. Shiny
Speaker 3: new dime to anybody who gets this correct.
Speaker 1: Our trade deficit, the US trade deficit with Ireland has skyrocketed.
Speaker 1: What are we impoort from Ireland that's so distorted? Are
Speaker 1: trade balanced with them?
Speaker 2: Ireland? Leprechauns potatoes? Good guesses? Close it's actually Leprecan kidneys
Speaker 2: because they're small and easier to implant. Make sense that
Speaker 2: eleprecn kidneys. Do you have a guess? I don't know,
Speaker 2: Guinness Basual, I have no idea. Shamrocks.
Speaker 1: All those weight loss drugs are manufactured in Ireland. Why
Speaker 1: because of their They've got favorable tax stuff going on.
Speaker 1: You remember the push for a universal fifteen percent tax
Speaker 1: on corporations around the world that various you know countries were.
Speaker 3: Trying to get that going, including US. I think at
Speaker 3: the time it's because Ireland has these incredibly lucrative tax
Speaker 3: incentives to set up your manufacturing there. It's like all
Speaker 3: of the US biggies do their manufacturing there.
Speaker 1: So it's like the how like every insurance company is
Speaker 1: in that one in Connecticut or something because of their
Speaker 1: favorable tax laws they have.
Speaker 2: They have a peel box there so they can claim
Speaker 2: they're there.
Speaker 3: All right, Wow, and a box car full of these
Speaker 3: drugs is worth tens of billions of dollars.

Speaker 3: My final thought is you can't give us the loan
Speaker 3: because the doors got removed. That's correct, but we told
Speaker 3: you we wanted the loan to remove the doors. Oh yes,
Speaker 3: that would have been fine, but they're already removed, so
