WEBVTT - Poetry About Whittling 0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:05.880 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:10.600 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong in show, Katty Armstrong and 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:12.400 Jettie and no Hee. 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:26.799 Arms even from the studio, ce say a senior a 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:28.080 dimly lit room. 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:29.000 Where do you put them? 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.320 The bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound? 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.880 And hey all, yeah, we're getting close to Christmas today. 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.160 We're under the tutelage of our general manager. Drug boats. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.879 There were three more taken out in last twenty four 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.320 hours or something like that. Kirk Blue, Kirk Blue, come up, 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:46.960 Kirk Bluie. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.400 Did we get them all at the first shot or 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:50.800 did we have to all find a couple of people 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.000 clinging to balsa wood and make sure they got the 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.680 old double tap rights? 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.200 Not clear in this account. Story seems to have gone away? 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:01.720 Is that story? 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.640 Over All? 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.959 Stories go away in like three days, no matter how 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.720 enormous they are, because there are so many stories, too 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.320 many stories, especially if a celebrity gets killed. Oh yeah, 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.440 apparently government needs to strictly limit how many things happen. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.000 I'm interested in the whole Rob Reiner thing, just you know, 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.520 it's interesting, but it's amazing. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.040 The news coverage. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.480 It's getting last All the newscasts I took in last 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:32.280 night had the top three stories in the exact opposite 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.840 order of importance to the world. In my mind, yeah, 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.200 I would agree, but you know, you know, as you know, 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.240 I was born annoyed and will die annoyed. But I've 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.039 tried not to be annoyed by this. I've tried to 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.039 understand it. 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.160 What is it? What is it about the average human being? 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.560 Because all of us tend to assume that everybody else's 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.600 head works more or less like ours, But it's not true. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.440 The longer you live, the more people you know, the 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.200 more experience is you have, the more you know that. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:01.520 To be. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:09.079 Evidently, the fondness for his work, the horror of a 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:15.560 murder within a family, of the feeling of a personal 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:20.320 connection because you laughed at some of his absolutely wonderful movies, don't. 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.880 I don't quite get it, but I'm working on it. Yeah. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.799 Like you mentioned yesterday during the show, the New York 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.520 Post had eight stories going at the same time, and 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.760 that's similar today, all on the Rob Reiner thing and 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:36.320 his son. Yeah, the topic of I mean, because this 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.720 is an ongoing problem. This is probably the part of 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.600 the whole homeless street person thing, the ongoing conversation about 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.120 what you do with drug addicts that can't or won't 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.160 get their acts together. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.720 We that, I mean that that's right there with that family. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.040 Oh my goodness. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.480 Yeah, And I mean, you know, and that really gets 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.000 to the hole. Well, they need rehab. Okay, Well Rob 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.399 Reiner's got more money than but Jesus and the kid 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:04.080 went to rehab fifteen times, right, some people. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.639 Is there an answer to that? I don't know that 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.200 there is, Yeah, other than lock people up. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.240 The pope breaking keep locking them up. If they keep 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.000 breaking the law, keep locking them up. It's probably the 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:23.120 only hope a guy like that had for the repercussions 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.000 to become so severe that he thought, I can't live 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.520 like this, and and somehow something clicks. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:29.920 I don't know. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.240 It's a tough one, but I mean, I'm thinking about 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.160 back to the greater theme, although I'm more than happy 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.960 to talk about that if well, I don't know, if 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.160 like Keith Richards's troubled kid killed him, or one of 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.120 my musical heroes who had brought me so much joy 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.880 through my life, I would think, oh my god, that's terrible. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.280 But I wouldn't need to hear unending details about it. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.360 I'd figure that's a family horror, a story of drug addiction, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.320 blah blah blah. But people seem to have a great 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.360 thirst for it. I guess I don't know at the 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.800 angle of Trump's unbelievable truth social post. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.200 Blaming Rob Reiner being stabbed. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:12.920 To death on his politics, Yeah, yeah, it's horrible. 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:20.760 It's horrible. It's it's bizarre. I don't know. You can 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:21.760 go back ten years. 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.680 The first one Trump did, the very first time, he 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.279 went so far out of bounds of anything anybody'd ever seen, 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.320 and a lot of people thought, oh, okay, well he's done, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.720 and he was the opposite of done obviously, when he 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.640 said about John McCain, I prefer people who don't get captured. 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.000 I mean, that is so outrageously awful. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.719 I mean that, and you can't really it's yeah, the 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.200 oturgeousness and the stupidity of it, you can't. You can't 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.280 really top that. So I feel like I've been in 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.039 that zone for a decade now. I mean, that's the 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:58.680 sort of thing the guy's gonna say, Yeah, it's it's inexplicable. Yeah, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.840 it's it's a way to look at life. Man, if 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.280 you if you become an enemy of that guy, he 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:10.159 has no uh, there's no gray zone. You were just 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:14.560 an enemy, no matter what happens to you. Stupid and outrageous, stupid, agous. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.719 A lot of my favorite columnists and politicians, including many 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.159 many Republicans and conservatives, condemning harshly the truth social post 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.800 from Donald Trump about the killing. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.800 How could you not? I mean, I don't know what 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:31.920 do you even say about that? 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.200 Meanwhile, his Justice Department is doing heroic work against dewokism, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.640 for instance, in our corporations, our institutions. It's fantastic, It's wonderful. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.719 People could call it paying the Trump tax. You just 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.600 have to put up with his doing crap like that. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.680 I wish it weren't true, but I wish I had 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.880 a money. I had a minor Twitter spat before I 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.679 realized there's no point getting into Twitter spats with people 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:02.559 of you know that whole thing. Yeah, just incredible. Trump 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.720 does things that are just outrageously awful. I mean, no 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.000 human beings should do. He said, what kind of a 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:14.320 precedent to that? What sort of a what's the example? 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.120 What sort of example does that set for anyone to 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.880 act like that. On the other hand, I still am 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.400 so happy he's president as opposed to Kamala. It's not 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:23.120 even close. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:28.440 It's not even close, which is an indictment of our system, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.279 or our primary or our immortal souls or something. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.400 I don't know. I don't know. I'm just glad it's 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:41.880 almost Christmas. The other two big stories that fall behind 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.760 the Rob Reiner murder, even though they're more important, the 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.880 Brown shooting Brown University, I don't think that's got any 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.000 greater significance at all, and it just gets lumped into 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.800 the whole angry, crazy people go out and shoot people thing. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.120 I suspect, so we'll have to see what it was. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:00.520 But I would bet you're right. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.360 The thing in Australia is such a big deal. And 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.479 like I was listening to NPR today and they're still 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.039 making a gun story about what they can do with 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.640 the gun laws in Australia. Okay, you can tweak the 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.200 gun laws all you want, and we still have rampant 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.720 immigration among fundamentalist Muslims who want to change the countries 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:19.360 they're going to. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.040 That's a pretty big deal. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.240 And in Australia, like Britain, like France, like the United States. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.120 The Jewish people are begging the authorities saying, listen, you 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:35.280 yourself are reporting on this skyrocketing increase in anti Semitic attacks. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.480 It is building to something horrific. You need to be 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.640 aware of this. You need to be serious about it, you. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.880 Need to condemn it, and you need to look hard 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.600 for where it's coming from and what these people are 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.840 trying to do. In Australia, they were crying out for 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.760 that for months and the authorities were like, we don't 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.480 want to inflame in conflicts here, so we're just going 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.920 to solt peddle it. And there's one brilliant, troubling piece 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.600 was entitled, now do you believe us? Yeah? And I 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.640 suppose you always got to throw in the caveat because 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.280 it's absolutely true, tons and tons and tons of Muslims 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.080 around the world don't believe in killing Jews like that. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.120 The guy that bravely tackled one of the shooters, also 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.880 a Muslim from Syria or wherever, tackled the guy and 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.960 pointed the gun in his face. He didn't want to 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.400 kill Jews. He's horrified by the whole thing, right, But 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.800 there's a man of hero. But there's enough that do 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.400 want to kill Jews and want to want you to 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.360 not get free speech, and want your wife not to 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.000 be able to walk around uncovered, and et cetera, et cetera. 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.360 There's a lot of people like that. I wish I 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.520 had kept a great piece of thinking. I'm trying to 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.160 remember who it even was who was explaining and this 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:50.280 was Gosh post nine to eleven, that the never ending 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.600 caveats and disclaimers, and we make them too about you know, 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.360 there are plenty of Muslims who are fine folks, and 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.520 we're not talking about them, he said. The moderate Muslim 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.440 is irrelevant to the discussion because everybody knows it. And 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.120 so let's focus on those who hold the attitudes we're 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:12.760 talking about. We're talking about Islamists. And if you are 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:20.920 a devout Muslim, you want Islam installed as a political system. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.720 Not a sincere Muslim, but a literalist Muslim, a fundamentalist Muslim. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.440 That's what you want, There's no question. So let's just 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:33.400 talk about that. These guys had isis flags in their truck, 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.160 and that is the worst of the worst. That makes 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.800 the I think Palestine should have a state should be 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:48.160 a state is you know, Holy Cow, you joined isis Wow. 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:49.439 Yeah. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.760 It reminds me of another thing I brought up the 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:57.440 other day that when Islam hit the modern world and 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:02.000 a lot of its precepts, you know, never ending conquest, 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:08.520 pro slavery, murdering anybody who did not convert, that sort 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.280 of thing, when those fundamentals ran up against the modern world, 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.199 they had to have their Protestant moment, as it was called, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.839 where a certain chunk of Islam went with, all right, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.960 it's a personal faith, it's in the heart, get right 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.080 with Allah. This kind of you know, akin to some 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.960 of the Old Testament stuff that a Jew or a 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.960 Christian might think, Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to smite 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.679 any hits heights because they're wearing a red dress or whatever. 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.560 I'm obviously conflating several things. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.079 But a lot of people went in that direction, and 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.640 a lot of people went with no, no, no, no no, 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.520 like a fundamentalist Christian might. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.319 Every word of our Holy Book. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.920 Is the literal truth, and we must follow it to 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.080 the letter, which, in the case of the Islam is 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:57.440 foaked with blood and conquest and punishment for unbelievers. And 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.760 so it's that section that we need to worry about. Fine, 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.200 the good folks, Hey, God bless you. I hope you 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.080 have a long and happy life, and I'm happy to 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.559 have you as a neighbor in America. But as fundamentalists, 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.240 that's the problem, man. That's gun loss, gun laws, gun laws, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:11.640 gun laws. 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.160 It's just a gun guns say. Let's start to show officially. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.120 Then, I want to do a quick update on where 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.160 we are on the raising money for scouting. We've met 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.120 a good night, good day as people are listening to 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.560 the podcast across the country. We'll do that a little bit. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.760 But let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.

He said, does the Americans say we're 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.520 ninety percent there? Do the Russians agree to anything? 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:05.880 Though? 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.440 That's what I don't get.

Apparently, the whole company got 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:32.320 themselves into a corner and couldn't get out. 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.919 I only used the first generation room but and it 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:36.439 was next to worthless. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.359 So you have claimed that it's got better over the years. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:40.520 It did. 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.200 It did, although I stopped using it a couple of 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.240 years ago. I mean, I keep thinking I should go 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.560 back to it and then reprogram it and all, but 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.400 I just haven't. I was thinking about that with tech 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.600 this morning because I was having trouble with my Tesla, 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.320 and like the reason I like Tesla and Apple is 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.560 it almost always does what it's supposed to do and 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.560 I don't have to like figuring out thing out. I 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.520 don't want any tech where I gotta figure something out. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.160 If I have to figure something out, it ain't worth 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.360 it to me. I just wanted to work the way 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.119 it's supposed to work, and very few tech things do. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.800 Uh No, Rumbo is that way for me. It's like, Okay, 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.439 if I pick up absolutely everything and set everything in 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.560 exactly the right spot, it can do its job. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.760 I ain't gonna do that, So yeah, it's it's. 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.480 I haven't used the new new ones and that sort 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.840 of technology is just leapt forward. Like I know in 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:33.240 the world the golf automated moors are huge, absolutely huge. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.120 I don't doubt that it'll get there. I'm sure. I'm 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.240 absolutely certain it will, but I don't know if it's 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:42.440 there yet. Yeah, rooms with a lot going on, chairs 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:43.640 and toys of everything. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:44.880 You got kids and dogs. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:49.480 It's just I haven't speaking of tech is at best Buy. 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.439 I tweeted out a picture this yesterday. I tried on 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:56.000 the latest generation of the ray band glasses that have 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.760 the tech in them, although I haven't tried the ones 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.439 that have the screen in them yet. You have to 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.520 set up an appointment to do that. They won't let 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.080 you just try that out on your own. You have 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.320 to make an appointment and do like a twenty minute 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:08.680 they show you how they work. 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.080 Thing. So there's the glasses we've talked about before. 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.520 Our agent uses them all the time, and there's a 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.199 new generation out that supposed to be better. You can 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:17.960 answer the phone that, you can listen to music, you 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:22.920 can variety of things with your glasses on, your sunglasses on, 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:24.000 or your eyeglasses on. 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:25.160 If you get the prescription. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.920 But then there's the new one that's got the got 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.080 a little screen in there that people looking at you 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.960 can't see. But you can see it's in one of 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.640 the lenses, and like you can read your texts, and 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.280 you can have directions on there, like if you're walking 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:39.879 down the street, and various things like that. 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.040 It's supposed to be pretty cool. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.560 Based on the reviews that I've seen, they're eight hundred 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:48.800 bucks just kind of pricey. But I'll bet the idea 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.679 with these smart glasses is that you won't carry your phone. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.800 It's going to be the getting away from the phone. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.560 You don't carry it anymore. Nobody says we're there yet 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.480 on those, but I'll bet that is where we're headed. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.959 You're gonna wear some sort of glasses. You're not going 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:06.920 to carry a phone. It's all gonna be in your glasses. 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.960 And that'll be within a couple of years. Yeah, I'm 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.680 hoping to leave tech behind and move to the woods. 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.680 Like even stuff to make face of old with Walden 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:17.840 Pond and such. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.240 Even stuff that makes your life easier. 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.320 I don't want to if it, like I said, if 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.040 it doesn't work to way it's supposed to work, first try, 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:25.960 I ain't doing it. I don't want harder. I don't 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.680 want my life to get more complicated. I don't want 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.080
