WEBVTT - Get Your Cosmic Grove On! 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:07.600 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.240 Jack Armstrong is show Ketty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:20.639 Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Hetty. We 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.759 should bring this story back up again later. So the 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.720 Chicago Police Department has updated the numbers from Chicago. Fifty 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.160 eight shot eight dead. That's the total from the Labor 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:35.120 Day weekend in Chicago. Fifty eight shot, eight dead. And 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.280 the headline for mainstream media is how dare Trump send 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.520 the National Guard? Well crimes down? 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.520 Jack, There were seventy one shot and eleven dead last year, 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:53.160 so nobody thinks that way but lefty advocates and the media. 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.640 So more on that later. The scale was very cruel 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.400 to me this morning. I lost all discipline over my 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.760 little vacation that I did while Joe was in England, 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.160 like all discipline, Like I forgot that it was a thing. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.679 Apparently hmm. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.199 All the calories like money don't exist on vacation or imaginary. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:12.880 Although I did pass at Cracker Barrel. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.680 They had a chicken fried chicken with like gravy mashed potatoes, 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.080 you know that sort of meal that the calories according 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:25.440 to the menu was nineteen hundred and thirty calories. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.759 Oh that's a big boy meal. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:34.600 Yeah, two thousand calories and one meal. Yeah something congratulations, 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.480 Uncle Herschel. As I mentioned earlier, is that the guy's 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.039 name on the cracker barrel saw gas. And again, I 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.559 didn't know anybody who had ever heard of that before 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.160 in their lives. And that's the big controversation you're taking away, 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:46.880 Uncle Herschel. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.160 Okay, a bunch of crackers eating on a barrel. That's 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.040 when I say, anyway, Yeah, I discovered, as I mentioned 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.760 earlier in the show, that if you walk five to 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.760 seven miles every single day, you can eat and drink 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.400 whatever you want. And that's what we did in London Town. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.080 We took two day trips. The second one was to Cambridge, 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.280 which was absolutely terrific. How about their train system there 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.400 so fantastic? Oh my gosh. Yeah, we only used it 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.760 late in the week because we walked everywhere, but oh 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:16.200 my gosh. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.040 Yeah, we tube at Oxford. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.840 Circus, took it to King's Cross and transferred quite smoothly 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.160 to the Great Northern Line to Cambridge. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.800 Oh so great. But you're so efficient. Why can't we 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.440 have that in California to get around? Yeah? 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.800 At one point, a couple of guys were running to 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.760 catch a train and the door shut just before they 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.400 could get on, and I said, ah, poor bastards, and 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.120 then I looked up. The next train was literally in 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.440 one minute. One minute. Yeah, yeah, it was something. It 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.640 was great. So anyway, Cambridge was great. It's a really 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:57.200 cool historic town, although like everywhere, by the afternoon, it 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:03.320 was overrun by throngs of tourists, no kidding, everywhere we went, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.880 just and part of it is people aren't coming to 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.320 the US because they're angry at Trump over the tariff thing. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.360 But yeah, it was just amazing. If there was no 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.560 tourism in Britain, I think the place would dry up 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.239 and go away. It was just astonishing how many humans 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:23.720 were everywhere. The highlighted Cambridge. I got a really nice 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.320 T shirt that says Cambridge University. It's kind of a 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.400 fancy T shirt, like well made, because I'm hoping people 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.720 think I went there because it sounds really classy. But 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.720 we visited the chapel at King's College, which has the 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:45.280 largest collection of stained glass in Europe. It's you know, 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.120 it's your giant church with the most amazing stained glass 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.360 I've ever seen. In my life, partly because Oliver Cromwell, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.840 who you know, I thought was some sort of crusader 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.680 for democracy as opposed to kings. He was also a 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.360 Puritan and very much like a tally Ban. When they 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:06.120 took over an Afghanistan, they were so anti any idolatry. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:14.480 They literally shot the faces off of like religious statuary statues, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.200 that's a fancy word for statues, or they like would 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.520 would the equivalent of sand a blast, you know, the 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.440 features off of these ancient and beautiful pieces of art. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.680 And this Cromwell character, he had all the stained glass 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:33.120 like everywhere smashed Missus Cromwell character, he is a bastard, 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.800 but he had like all the stained glass smashed out 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.800 of churches because he thought it was idolatry. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:39.680 Wow. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:44.280 But he left this intact because of beloved King Henry 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.839 the sixth had started it, and he knew he didn't 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.120 because Henry the sixth ended up being a saint anyway, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.000 and everybody like loved him, and so you didn't, no 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.080 matter what you thought, you didn't undo what he did 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.159 because it was just too dangerous politically. So he left 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.000 all of the same glass and it's just unbelievably beautiful. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.000 That was the second day trip. The first day trip 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:10.599 was to Stonehenge and Bath. There was a bit of 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.719 a rain shower when we were in Bath. I mentioned 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.279 to Judy, we're taking a shower. We're having a shower 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.120 in Bath. She looked at me like, you know, you 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:24.400 could give that a vacation if you want. That's sort 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.480 of observation, sort. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.279 Of a play on words. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.960 Yes, the irony, Michael, the irony at the heart of it. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:32.600 Jeez. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.760 Anyway, but Stonehenge was quite a trip from London, but 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.080 I'm glad we did it. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.479 It's I skipped Stonehenge when I was in England for 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.240 whatever reason. I don't remember it. Yeah, there's too much 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.840 to do, is that right? 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.200 Super big tall rocks arranged carefully by ancient hands to 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.320 do something. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:55.719 Well. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.400 The guye who were talking to said, get used to 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:05.279 the phrase we still don't know, because that's and we 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.239 never will. The Stonehenge story, although it certainly is aligned 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.960 with the winter and summer solstice, is so the light. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.359 It's a timekeeping device of some sort, but built, you know, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.120 thousands of years ago, and one of the first things 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.279 you learn is that it was changed a couple of times. 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.960 The arrangement of rocks of various sizes over the course 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.080 of five hundred years, and you think, oh, from thirty 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.560 five hundred BC to three thousand BC. Then you realize, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:36.240 wait a minute, people have been coming here and rearranging 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.560 these rocks for whatever purpose because it was important to them, 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:46.120 like important enough to spend incredible amounts of effort in 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.880 the ancient world for thousands of years. And I'm not 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.920 prone to weird psychic you know, feelings of I got 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.360 in tune with Mother Earth and the druids or whatever. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.679 But I did stand there feeling a bit of awe 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.400 about the fact that for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.120 and hundreds of years, people keep coming back to this 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:15.200 spot and trying to get some sort of cosmic groove on, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.680 get your cosmic groove on of whatever sort they thought 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.280 was appropriate. But it was kind of It was kind 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.360 of beautiful and heavy and mystical and weird, and I 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.320 could see how the soft headed sort, would you know, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.680 end up becoming a druid or what have you. But 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:37.040 it's an amazing place, you know, I'd go. I didn't 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.160 change my life or anything. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.760 I always have those sets when I'm in those really great, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.800 big gold churches like they got in England. You sit 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.240 in there and it said, you know, they built that 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.800 thing whatever eight hundred years ago, and you think that 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.880 thousands and thousands of people praying for all the different 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.200 things going on in their lives, just like your life today. 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.360 Sick kid, you know, get a job. Whatever it is. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.120 It's it's something. Oh that remind I gotta find the 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:06.640 picture of it. They have examples of We visited the 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.640 Roman baths at bath that was where there was a 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:10.320 rain shower. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.000 Michael, Did I tell you that story? 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:18.160 It was very amusing. Anyway, they had a tradition then 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.800 you would like scratch out a message to the goddess 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.200 and throw it in the baths. Is like an offering, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.679 and the goddess would intercede on your behalf right. Oh cool, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.560 all of it, virtually all of it was bitching about 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:42.280 somebody had stolen my cloak or somebody stole my best spoon. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.320 And I think it's Vesuvius Jones. I'm pretty sure it's him. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.600 If it's him, would you punish the crap out of 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.480 him for me, please? Because I can't prove it, but 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:52.680 I think it was him. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:58.320 My best spoon. It was all stuff like that. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.240 It was all gripe and about stuff that got ripped 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:06.160 off of Yeah one I got No, I got nothing 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.960 but my crappy, my everyday spoof. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:09.800 It's embarrassing. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.800 Or occasionally you know this, this bastard took my girlfriend. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.280 Punish him if you get a chance. 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.640 That sort of thing, a lot of griping, which reminds 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.319 me of the British Museum, which has the greatest collection 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.640 of like the very dawn of history, when people start 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.760 writing things down, like the oldest writings that exist on Earth. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.120 They have a lot of them there, and they're thousands 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.839 of years old, and it's really interesting. The single oldest 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.880 piece of writing they have, if if I recall correctly, 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.760 is a complaint that you shipped me the wrong grade 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.040 of copper. I ordered the class B copper. This is 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:56.360 class C copper, the oldest known writing on Earth. I 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.320 was like, dude, what are you trying to pull here? 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.440 The oldest on earth is I want to talk to 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.280 the manager. That is really interesting, right. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.320 And the other oldest writing on Earth is is some 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:12.560 bastard took my bike. Human beings, Oh my god, we 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.400 haven't changed at all. No, no, you know, I'm sorry 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.520 I went off at the mouth a little bit. I 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.800 intended to talk about our upcoming naval war with Venezuela. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.640 All right, yeah, that's another interesting story, sending warships to 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.480 you know, countries in our hemisphere. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.280 Right right, all about excuse me, the drug cartels and 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.760 that sort of thing. This is my favorite part of 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:42.400 that story. Fat Maduro, the the communist, scumbag dictator, kleptocrat 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:48.040 who runs Venezuela these days, he said, of the US 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:52.280 Navy presence, Venezuela is confronting the biggest threat that has 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.760 been seen on our continent in the last one hundred years. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.120 A situation like this has never been seen. I'm like, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.040 wait a minute, wait a minute. You gotta pick one 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.199 of those. You can't say, you know, if some dog 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.960 walks into the you know, your yard, it's twenty five feet, 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.439 it's the shoulder, it's an enormous dog. You can't say 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.000 this is the biggest dog that has been seen in 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.480 the last one hundred years, because people are thinking, must 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.760 have been some big ass dog, you know, like twenty years. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.800 But then you say, yes, it's the biggest dog ever. No, 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.680 it's one or the other Nicholas, you gotta get better 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.559 at your blood running through the streets Arab style threats. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.280 It's just not good at Ian Bremer seems dope. Ian 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.559 Bremmer predicts an actual military strike on Venezuela at some 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:42.720 point from the US. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.160 Really yeah, yeah, I haven't been following that except, you know, 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:47.320 glancing at the headline. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.880 Wouldn't that be something getting back into that sphere of 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.400 influence thing like we're gonna run our hemisphere because China's 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.000 gonna be running their hemisphere. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.640 Well yeah, and that aspect of it. I don't hate 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.120 more robust engagement in South America in a lot of 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:08.480 different ways. Let's let's help out the heroes like Mela 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.640 and Argentina, and let's mess with the scumbags like Maduro 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.680 and and and you know, bring them around. Somebody took 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.240 my very best spoon, and I am not happy. I'm 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.720 pretty sure it was Jim. If it was Jim, do 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:27.720 me a favor. Give him some boils, like really bad ones. Amen, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:28.720 here's to you. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.400 Give him some boils. 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:31.319 Uh. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:43.679 We got more other ways there. I actually am paying 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.600 attention my own, like, for my own personal interest, not 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.280 just for the show. This big summit that's going on 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.560 with China and Russia and Iran and North Korea and 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.240 India and everything like that. So more on that tomorrow. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.760 Yeah, yep, it's a it's a big topic, no doubt. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:04.120 Speaking of big topics, the whole transgender radical gender ideology thing, 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.240 which we've talked about a fair amount. As your kids 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.800 are going back to school, if they live in blue 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.800 states especially, they're getting a full dose of that stuff. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.200 It is not slowed a bit in progressive America, and 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.079 it's still one of the great fights of our time. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.840 I think Elon Musk, I remember hearing has one of 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.360 his many children is transgender. Whatever that means. 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.599 How many kids do they have. We've made jokes so 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.160 many times I don't even remember, like a Baker's seen 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.000 or something like that. I can't remember. If he can't, 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:39.760 I can't either. And I'm reminded I didn't really look 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:44.640 into the horrific shooting in Minneapolish other than the unavoidable headlines. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.040 That was one of the worst ones. Yeah, that was 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.960 one of the worst ones. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.480 Yeah, it's unthinkable and horrific, and I decided I'm on vacation. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.080 I don't want to take that pain on, but I 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:55.079 know enough about it. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.199 Some of the India coverage around it, we would have 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:58.080 been screaming about. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.840 Oh, I'm sure we would have. You know, I'm sure 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:05.080 you've all heard that the uh, the sick, mentally ill 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.800 murderer of little children was quote unquote transgender. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.200 Really, I read the Washington Post and I got to 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.920 paragraph thirty two and stopped reading. So I didn't find 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.040 out in paragraph thirty three that that was the case. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.720 Yeah, no, kidding. Naturally among the sick sick person's writings 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.480 or something to the effect of, and I've got it 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.760 around here somewhere, but if that doesn't matter, him saying, 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:33.720 and I'm so unhappy or angry that I brainwashed myself 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.080 into thinking I was TRANSGENDERO. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.000 Wow, I didn't even hear that. Oh no. Also, all 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.200 the trends stuff aside, it became very clear that the 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.400 person was expecting notoriety out of this. So once again 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.920 we give them notoriety. We give all these shooters all 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.840 the notoriety they want so that there will be more 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.240 of them. What vital. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.560 But you have to kill lots of people to get 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.840 the notoriety you want. So if you want the rest 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.320 your blood, say the newspapers and that work. If you 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.680 want people in suits and ties to pour over your 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.280 every word and try to discern its meaning, the way 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.400 to do it is to kill children. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:07.560 Yes, it's very frustrating. 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:13.880 Anyway, Elon Musk was talking the other day about his 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.640 his youngster and the whole transgender thing and well, let's uh, 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:17.960 let's listen to it. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:23.040 It happened to one of my older boys where I was, 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:32.720 I was essentially tricked into signing documents, uh, for one 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:37.960 of my older boys, Xavier. This is before I had 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.960 really any understanding what was going on, and we had 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.880 coke COVID going on, and so there was a lot 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:48.960 of confusion, and you know, I was told, oh, you know, Savor, 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.320 I might commit suicide if. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.760 That was that was a lie right from the outset. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.000 Incredibly evil and I agree with you that people that 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.240 have been promoting this should go to prison. So I was, 0:15:58.320 --> 0:15:59.480 I was straight into doing this. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.480 Recognize the voice of Jordan Peterson, so obviously he was 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.080 talking to him. Let's roll on. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.680 It wasn't explained to me that puberty blocks are actually 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:18.160 just sterilization drugs. So anyway, and so I lost my 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.720 son essentially, So you know they they call it dead 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.520 naming for a reason. Yeah, all right, so that the 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:31.120 reason it's called dead naming is because your son is dead. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.120 So my son is Avior is dead, killed by the 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.040 wolk mind virus. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.040 I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, I can't imagine what 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:40.720 that would be like. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:43.720 Yeah. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:50.160 So yeah, and there's lots of people in that situation. Now, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.240 it's not pretty and lots of demolished kids. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:54.520 Yes. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.360 Yeah, Well that's a good that's a good reason to 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:58.239 be the final. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:02.480 Straw, right, So let's go about to destroy the work 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:03.480 mind virus after that. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:15.240 Yeah, the play join the club. Yeah, the playbook is 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.879 well known and well worn. You work on these kids forever, 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.159 trying to convince them that it's the reason they're not 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.960 happy is they're the wrong sex and they can change 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.720 their sex. Then you tell the parents. If you don't 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:26.320 do this, the kid will kill themselves. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.720 We mine virus is a good term. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.960 Are Strong and Getty. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.080 Odi telling the United States he is not happy about tariffs, 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.960 are coosing up to Pakistan, Putin saying that he has 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.080 a big friend, strong friend in China and g saying 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.439 that we will continue to challenge US leadership around the world. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.600 Yeah, that big summit that's going on, and I specifically 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.800 I want to just talk about China because I came 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.560 across a couple of things over the weekend I thought 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:56.640 were interesting and that horrifying, a little get together they're 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.720 having there where they're making it clear that China, Russia, India, Iran, 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.080 North Korea really want to change the world. They want 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.000 to change the world to where the United States doesn't 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.600 make all the rules anymore, the United States with Europe, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.879 and that era is over, and they might be right 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:17.119 and not looking forward to it. For instance, I grew up, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.400 you grew up. Most of us a certain age grew 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.720 up with the United States was the best at everything, biggest, fastest, 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:27.480 and coolest, everything always right. The Empire State Building was 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.399 the tallest building in the world, and just everything we 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.400 did was the best. That went away over time, as 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.080 inevitably a would happen. But I saw this bridge that 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.600 China opened up over the weekend, the longest, highest expansion 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:45.040 bridge in the world. It's stunning, this gorge it's over 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.359 It's like building a bridge across the Grand Canyon. If 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.440 you've ever been there, I mean, it's just amazing. And 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.440 they drove I forget how many thousand semi trucks full 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.720 of things on top of it to show how strong 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.439 it is. I mean, because they didn't want people do 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.920 immediately say okay, cool bridge, but will it fall down? 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.399 I mean, and the point of it is and it 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.720 took them like a year and a half or something. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.439 I mean. So the point is the sort of thing 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.240 the United States used to be able to do, build 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.960 the Empire, state building, and during the Great Depression in 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.000 six months or whatever, that story is, look at what 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.840 we just damn right, look what we just did. The 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.600 United States can't do that anymore. And we can't because 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.160 you'd try to build that bridge and a five years 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.360 later you would get past some of the environmental hurdles 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.920 before you'd even start the thing, and then it would 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.639 take twenty five years and you still wouldn't have a bridge, 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.840 and you would have cost five times as much as 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.480 the original allotted money, and blah blah blah blah blah. 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:39.359 We all know that story. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.360 Yeah, China's argument is we're the effective people, and we'll 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.800 be here tomorrow with more or less the same policies. 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:46.960 So you want to do business. 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.520 It's a little depressing and how true. It is is 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:54.000 what bothers me. Then this different story just culturally, China 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.360 rekindles wartime fury, stirring fears of anti japan hate. They're 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.440 doing the same thing about the United States that they're 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.920 doing with Japan, a series of World War II dramas 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.440 about China's fight against Japan back in the day during 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:10.240 World War Two. Today is the eightieth anniversary of the 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.359 end of World War Two. We talked a couple of 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.120 weeks ago about how Japan's role in World War Two 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:20.000 is way under emphasized the number of people that they 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.639 killed and were still killing, you know, the days we 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.639 dropped the bombs just horrifying, and China was on the 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:30.280 wrong end of that most of it. But anyway, One 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:34.080 film called Dead to Rights, about Japan's nineteen thirty seven 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:37.640 invasion of the Chinese city of Nanjing, follows a group 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.359 of Chinese who smuggle out photographs and helped document the 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.880 killing of tens of thousands of civilians, an event known 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:48.040 as the Nanjing Massacre. During a showing of the movie 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.000 in a theater, and actor dressed as a soldier shouts, 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.159 and they're doing that this at all the theaters across 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.160 the country. This reporter was just at this one theater. 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.879 An actor dressed as a soldier walks on the stage 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.959 and shouts at moviegoers the Japanese want to destroy our 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.840 country and exterminate us. Will you let them? And then 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.160 the audience rises up, actually stands up in the movie 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.159 theater together, pumping their fists, no we will not, and 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:16.240 start chanting various things. And they're doing that with movies 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.040 about where a China defeats the United States in a 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:23.439 couple of different made up movies, but everybody stands in cheers. 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:29.679 They are really whipping up the nationalism anti US, anti 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:35.520 China or anti Japan hate there while this getting together 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.439 with North Korea, Iran, Russia, India thing is going on. 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.200 Well, I don't want to be the most discouraging show 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.359 in the history of the planet. But meanwhile we're teaching 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.080 our children to hate their country and to believe that 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:48.960 it probably ought to be torn down. 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:54.080 Right. Yeah, that is an excellent point and depressing and 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.159 the only example I can come up with it in 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.240 world history. I keep asking people all the time, can 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.719 you think of any other time when an empire of 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.320 power all of a sudden decided to teach their kids 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.879 to hate their own empire and country. When does that happen? 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.200 But that's what we're doing in the United States while 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.160 they're teaching over there in China. They're teaching their kids 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.320 to love their country to the point of laying down 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.560 their lives for it. And if they win, things are 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:20.480 not going to be better here. 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.119 I guarantee you if anybody has conducted that experiment, we 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.359
