Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: We want to make sure that they all get a
Speaker 2: mention on the show. It's time for tonight show sponsors.
Speaker 1: Oh ZEMPI.
Speaker 2: Fair warning. It's super obvious when you're on us instacart
Speaker 2: when you need the wrong things and the wrong sizes,
Speaker 2: that the wrong temperatures, milk boone, come on, take a bite,
Speaker 2: you know you want it. McDonald's. Sometimes you just need
Speaker 2: to eat some big.
Speaker 1: Don Wow, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Robtestin teaching kids how to take shots is nineteen seventy.
Speaker 3: Nine in Stackhart when you want the wrong thing at
Speaker 3: the wrong temperature, in the wrong size, beautiful.
Speaker 1: Do you want to lead off the discussion with what
Speaker 1: you observed? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was reminded of somebody brought up the thing. I'm
Speaker 3: remember the story last year of most women who would
Speaker 3: rather come across a bear when they're hiking than a
Speaker 3: random dude. And I don't know how we culturally convinced
Speaker 3: the female persuasion that men are so incredibly scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think part of it is also we convinced
Speaker 1: them that saying that made them look enlightened. They're warriors
Speaker 1: against the patriarchy. And anyway, hashtag me too in the rest.
Speaker 1: That is it a big uh.
Speaker 3: I got a big festival going on in my town
Speaker 3: over the weekend, and uh, we saw a couple of
Speaker 3: young women holding hands walking down the street.
Speaker 1: And I made, uh, my usual dumb joke of.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, those two women are holding hands? What
Speaker 3: is going on?
Speaker 1: Like? You know, I just find that funny. You know what.
Speaker 1: I love to do with my daughter, my youngest, especially
Speaker 1: because she can take an edgi joke, because We'll see
Speaker 1: a couple of dudes together and I'll say, I have
Speaker 1: reason to believe they are homoreseexual.
Speaker 3: Well that's basically what I said. And then my son said.
Speaker 3: My son said, oh, but they're not. I said what
Speaker 3: he said, No, girls just hold hands now, I said,
Speaker 3: they do? He said, yeah, all kinds of girls in
Speaker 3: my school they do. They hold hands now, And I said,
Speaker 3: what is that all about? And I saw no less
Speaker 3: than ten pairs of women holding hands walking down the street.
Speaker 3: Now I don't know who was straight and who was not,
Speaker 3: Who was a couple and who's not. But he said
Speaker 3: they feel safer that way.
Speaker 1: So are we to a.
Speaker 3: Point now where young women feel like they gotta hold
Speaker 3: the hands with their friends walking in public because it's
Speaker 3: so freaking scary out there. That doesn't seem good, Katie,
Speaker 3: you're making a surprised face.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not surprised they This is something that I've
Speaker 4: seen within my own friend groups. I don't participate in
Speaker 4: it or necessarily underside. I also didn't connect it with safety.
Speaker 1: Well what is it then? If he's not, we're just
Speaker 1: guessing as many hands at your disposal to do stuff with.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't sound like a safety now me.
Speaker 3: But there have been many not like safety, like you're
Speaker 3: gonna fight, just like a you know, we're together, okay.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: I I've been in San Francisco many a time with
Speaker 4: groups of girlfriends and all of a sudden, two of
Speaker 4: them are old in hands and they're just doing it
Speaker 4: to do it.
Speaker 3: Oh, we were guessing on the it makes them feel
Speaker 3: safer thing. I mean, people have a tendency to hold
Speaker 3: hands when they're like, you know, in a scary situation.
Speaker 3: I've seen it before, so it's a it's a it's
Speaker 3: a it's an emotional thing. It's not a we're gonna
Speaker 3: fight thing. But but what do you think striving? You think, Katie,
Speaker 3: because I was just guessing. I thought alcohol everyone and
Speaker 3: everyone's two drinks away from a lesbian encounter. That whole
Speaker 3: thing pretty much. Yeah, lord, oh my, uh.
Speaker 1: There are societies Jack, you know this in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: especially where grown men walk down the street holding hands. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will not be visiting those societies.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, if anybody knows why this is happening, it
Speaker 3: is happening a lot like.
Speaker 1: And it's recent.
Speaker 3: Because I I've just seen it a lot with my
Speaker 3: own eyes. So if you know text line four one
Speaker 3: five two nine five KFTC, I hope it's a different reason.
Speaker 3: I was thinking, Man, if everybody's so like anxious and
Speaker 3: uncomfortable that the women that they feel like they need
Speaker 3: to hold hands like you know, I got you such,
Speaker 3: I got you two because it's so scary out there.
Speaker 6: That's not good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know me, I've established my cred is being willing
Speaker 1: to put poo anything done by young people willingly. But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm in favor of real human contact
Speaker 1: as opposed to online stuff, So I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's a reaction to that. That's an interesting theory. Don't know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I want to get to this. This is a big
Speaker 1: new poll of young British adults, and the BRIT's a
Speaker 1: little further down the road, a crazy than the US
Speaker 1: depending on where you live. If you live in a
Speaker 1: lu city or state, could be you're keeping pace with
Speaker 1: our crazy, crazy cousins over in Britain. But I like
Speaker 1: the way this is written up before they get to
Speaker 1: the actual poll results. A young woman sits in a
Speaker 1: comfortable London flat or a sleek New York apartment, scrolling
Speaker 1: her feed and convinced the world is rigged against her.
Speaker 1: She holds a university degree, earns a solid paycheck, and
Speaker 1: enjoys better workplace opportunities than her male peers at the
Speaker 1: same age, Yet she feels profoundly unhappy, distrusts men, loathes
Speaker 1: her country, and views motherhood as optional at best. And
Speaker 1: it's clear pattern rempeating across Britain and America. Oh Da
Speaker 1: Da Da. The left leaning New Statesman pulled two thousand
Speaker 1: British adults between eighteen and thirty. The widening gender gap
Speaker 1: among the young comes far more from women moving sharply
Speaker 1: left than men turning right, no matter what the left
Speaker 1: to media would tell you. Among men under thirty, seventy
Speaker 1: two percent hold a positive view of women, an interesting
Speaker 1: lead question. Among women under thirty, only fifty percent feel
Speaker 1: positive toward men, and the figure drops to thirty five
Speaker 1: percent among women under twenty five. Wow. So the younger
Speaker 1: they are, the more they hate men. Wow. Just eighteen
Speaker 1: percent of women under thirty feel very positive about men,
Speaker 1: compared with thirty eight percent of men who feel very
Speaker 1: positive about women. Again, thirty eight to eighteen men to women.
Speaker 1: More than forty percent of young women say men do
Speaker 1: not share their understanding of consent, while only twenty five
Speaker 1: per and men say the same thing about women. That's
Speaker 1: a fraud topic, But let's get into more sociological stuff.
Speaker 1: Young women are twice as likely as young men to
Speaker 1: say they do not want children. The process of bringing
Speaker 1: a child into the world is a bit heavier on
Speaker 1: the woman, so I would grant them a little leeway. Yes,
Speaker 1: but it's fifteen to eight, which is not huge numbers
Speaker 1: among white women under thirty, though the number rises to
Speaker 1: twenty percent significantly higher among white women. One in four
Speaker 1: women call differing political views a red flag and a partner.
Speaker 1: Sixty percent would struggle to date someone who disagrees on
Speaker 1: Israel Palestine topics. Jeez, talk about roll my eyes, geeminy.
Speaker 1: Similar on Trump, seventy four percent said they could not
Speaker 1: stay with someone who rejects their views on social justice,
Speaker 1: whatever that means. As Thomas Soul has pointed out, anybody
Speaker 1: who says social justice isn't talking about society or justice.
Speaker 1: Young women also show greater reluctance reluctance than men to
Speaker 1: data cross differences on immigration. Economically, the divide grows sharper.
Speaker 1: This is the part I really want to get to
Speaker 1: young women. Now, these are Brits, okay, farther down the
Speaker 1: road to socialism, which is why they have a moribond, stagnant,
Speaker 1: the embarrassment of an economy and military and everything else.
Speaker 1: This is the road we're going now. Young women give
Speaker 1: give capitalism rather, I really prefer the term the free market,
Speaker 1: but I'm outvoted. Young women give capitalism a net favorability
Speaker 1: rating of just plus two, while communism scores plus eleven.
Speaker 3: Well that's ignorance, right, that's a not understanding what you're
Speaker 3: talking about.
Speaker 1: That is mountainous ignorance.
Speaker 3: That is our education system. How does their education system
Speaker 3: not teach you about communism since it's the deadliest ideology
Speaker 3: in world history.
Speaker 1: Well, because at this point Neo Marxists are in charge
Speaker 1: of our education system, I'm not sure the last thing
Speaker 1: they want to teach. I'm not sure I ever learned
Speaker 1: about communism. Oh, it wasn't certainly as it was. It
Speaker 1: wasn't a big feature of education, although I grew up
Speaker 1: knowing it. It was just everywhere. Maybe it wasn't necessary.
Speaker 1: Maybe were you You certainly were aware. We grew up
Speaker 1: in little different parts of the country, but you were
Speaker 1: aware of the Soviet you know, a little bit of
Speaker 1: communism and dirty commedy, scum pinkos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe during the Cold War you
Speaker 3: didn't teach it because everybody.
Speaker 1: Was bathed in it. Okay, So young women more favorable
Speaker 1: toward communism, which is just so stupid and ignorant. It's astonishing.
Speaker 1: Young men. On the other hand, great capitalism at plus
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent plus two for the women, plus twenty
Speaker 1: eight for the young men.
Speaker 3: Okay, Now you're all going to the same schools, so
Speaker 3: that my theory is no good there, then what's happening?
Speaker 1: Well, this is keep in mind, this is Britain. I
Speaker 1: think part of it has to do with the nature
Speaker 1: of women's psychology versus men. Men are much more comfortable
Speaker 1: with I'm more than willing to take this on, go
Speaker 1: at semi alone and fight for what I want, whereas
Speaker 1: women are much more into forming coalitions and sharing. It
Speaker 1: was long said the Republican Party was the daddy party
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party was the Mommi party because the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party won more income redistribution and sharing and being
Speaker 1: fair and the rest of it, and the Republicans are like,
Speaker 1: give people freedom and let them make of their lives
Speaker 1: what they will. So I think that's just not as
Speaker 1: part of it. Not sure they should have the vote women, Yeah,
Speaker 1: will take your calls. Oh, let's see. On wealth redistribution,
Speaker 1: forty three percent of young women say it is unfair
Speaker 1: that some people have more and that wealth should be
Speaker 1: taken from them forty three percent. That's three more than
Speaker 1: the percent who say people deserve to keep what they earn.
Speaker 1: Good lord. Young men are fifty one thirty seven in
Speaker 1: favor of the sanity. Yeah. Young women are more likely
Speaker 1: to believe the economy works against people like them. Yet
Speaker 1: among sixteen to twenty four year olds, women hold more
Speaker 1: full time jobs and earn nine percent more on average
Speaker 1: than men in Britain now, while male youth unemployment six
Speaker 1: is six point three percent higher than the young women,
Speaker 1: And yet young women are more likely to believe the
Speaker 1: economy works against women. Young women report lower happiness, ambition, excitement,
Speaker 1: and fulfillment than young men. They are twenty one points
Speaker 1: less optimistic than men about earning more than their parents,
Speaker 1: and nineteen percent less optimistic about buying the home that
Speaker 1: they want than young men. In the same society, only
Speaker 1: fifty three percent of gen Z women say they're proud
Speaker 1: to call themselves British, compared with sixty eight percent of
Speaker 1: the gen Z men.
Speaker 3: Only half a woman are proud to be British. This
Speaker 3: whole Western civilization and hate itself thing is so weird.
Speaker 1: And to reinforce what you're saying, not to interrupt, but
Speaker 1: to reinforce. Affluent, higher educated women prove the most left
Speaker 1: wing and most pessimistic. Of course, they have the higher
Speaker 1: numbers on communism, feminism, feminism, environmentalism, socialism, slavery, reparations of
Speaker 1: the view that UK is racist or sexist, Absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1: Among Americans aged eighteen to twenty nine, forty percent of
Speaker 1: young women identify as liberal, compared to twenty five percent
Speaker 1: of young men. Let's see, that's only mildly interesting. Then
Speaker 1: they go into some more of the American numbers, which
Speaker 1: are quite similar to the British numbers, including mental health diagnoses,
Speaker 1: which is oh, the famous Pew research survey that we
Speaker 1: talked about a lot that found that fifty six percent
Speaker 1: of white liberal women age eighteen to twenty nine reported
Speaker 1: a mental health diagnoses fifty six percent, double the rate
Speaker 1: for conservative women the same age. Cart horse, chicken egg.
Speaker 1: Nobody's doubly sure. Double is a lot. Yes, that's quite
Speaker 1: a disparity. Yeah, it's twenty eight to fifty six. Wow,
Speaker 1: let me explain that. Gosh, we had some great essays
Speaker 1: on that very topic. I wish I remembered their specific reasoning.
Speaker 1: I'll try to dig them up. That is really interesting.
Speaker 3: Um, Iran just put out a statement, whoever Iran is
Speaker 3: that they are negotiating with their finger on the trigger. Well,
Speaker 3: so is the orange tornado. So keep that in mind.
Speaker 3: More on that and a bunch of other stuff on
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 1: Stay here.
Speaker 3: It's update on what's going on with the peace talks
Speaker 3: or the ceasefire or whatever you want to call it
Speaker 3: war with Iran.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a little bit. So we're
Speaker 1: going over some statistics about British and American young women,
Speaker 1: particularly young liberal women, and how they're miserable and hate
Speaker 1: their lives and their countries in the world, and are
Speaker 1: embracing communism and all sorts of madness. And we were
Speaker 1: discussing the Pew poll that came out a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago about how twice as many lefty women as
Speaker 1: conservative women have sought help for mental health problems. And
Speaker 1: I thought I had saved a couple of the essays
Speaker 1: that were addressing this, and they are definitely from the
Speaker 1: perspective of this is not good. Let's understand it as
Speaker 1: opposed to haw Haw Hall. Look at those stupid lefties,
Speaker 1: including this piece by Amy Gallagher, why Women Love Woke,
Speaker 1: the toxic relationship mad and sad, Women go woke. Woke
Speaker 1: makes women go mad and sad, and she as well
Speaker 1: as a couple of other authors that I kept around.
Speaker 1: Let me get to the gist of this gets into
Speaker 1: the growing ideological gap, dei safe spaces, therapeutic spaces, bringing
Speaker 1: your whole self to work, harm reduction, psychological safety, emotionality, conformity,
Speaker 1: conflict avoidance. We now live in a highly feminized culture.
Speaker 1: This femininity is taken over the workplace. It is a
Speaker 1: toxic and destructive form of femininity and ironically the reason
Speaker 1: why so many women are making poor life choices that
Speaker 1: leave them unhappy and mentally unstable. If women want to
Speaker 1: feel better, they must first end their toxic love affair
Speaker 1: with woke progressivism, which has plunged them into a downward
Speaker 1: spiral of insanity and despair, or, as they put it
Speaker 1: in EV magazine, which is definitely women oriented. They point
Speaker 1: out that the whole woke thing is to constantly flog
Speaker 1: you with what's unfair, who's oppressed? How you yourself are
Speaker 1: being exploited and put upon by the patriarchy and capitalism.
Speaker 1: The whole philosophy is one of grievance as opposed to
Speaker 1: opportunity and yeah challenges and what are you gonna do
Speaker 1: into each life? A little rain must fall. Doctor Lyle Rossit,
Speaker 1: or rather board certified psychiatrists who's treated mental disorders for
Speaker 1: over thirty years agrees and ads. White liberalism thrives on
Speaker 1: supposedly champion working, championing workers, minorities, the little guy, women,
Speaker 1: the unemployed, who they continually sees wrong to cheat, it oppressed, disenfranchised, exploited,
Speaker 1: victimized with little to no agency of their own, and
Speaker 1: it is its very philosophy is incredibly pessimistic and full
Speaker 1: of victimization, helplessness.
Speaker 3: Bring your whole self to work. I had forgotten that phrase,
Speaker 3: do me a favorite, don't Yeah. It was a response
Speaker 3: from many of us, how about you, and I'll do
Speaker 3: you a favor and I want Yeah, Let's none of
Speaker 3: us bring our whole selves to work. Let's bring the
Speaker 3: part of us to work that needs to do the
Speaker 3: job and leave the rest of it at home. If
Speaker 3: we become friends and you want to share with me, great,
Speaker 3: not at work. What they're doing in Virginia today and
Speaker 3: voting for is outrageous.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, arm Strong and getty.
Speaker 7: These refunds are for businesses only. Individuals cannot apply, and
Speaker 7: it's unlikely that consumers will get any money back. However,
Speaker 7: FedEx and UPS have said they will pay customers back
Speaker 7: who paid tariffs directly once they receive those reimbursements.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we probably all were affected by the tariffs in
Speaker 3: one way or another.
Speaker 1: But what are you going to do? What are you
Speaker 1: going to do? Nothing? Apparently I left out because I
Speaker 1: was robo scanning. They call me Joe GPT. I was
Speaker 1: scanning those articles about white women and mental problems and stuff,
Speaker 1: and I left out one of the most important parts.
Speaker 1: And this is, you know, practically my life's philosophy. The
Speaker 1: one thing about the Woke religion is that it preaches
Speaker 1: against the one quality that human beings must have to
Speaker 1: have happy lives, and that's resiliency. It preaches that you
Speaker 1: can't bounce back from these things that you are permanently
Speaker 1: oppressed unless the patriarchy or capitalism or whatever is overthrown.
Speaker 1: It needs you to believe that, otherwise you wouldn't become
Speaker 1: a dedicated to neo Marxist. So, boy, when you browbeats
Speaker 1: resiliency out of somebody like a young woman, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you've done a terrible cruelty to them. End of screen.
Speaker 3: Before I get to what they're voting on in Virginia today,
Speaker 3: which is absolutely outrageous, our producer Steve Hansen said, did
Speaker 3: you check out Donald Trump's truth social post about Tim Cook.
Speaker 3: I had not let me read a little bit of
Speaker 3: it because I came across a phrase.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. So Tim Cook of Apple stepped down. They
Speaker 1: got a new guy.
Speaker 3: Now, I've always been a big fan of Tim Cook
Speaker 3: and likewise Steve Jobs. But Steve was not taken from
Speaker 3: planet Earth so young and ran the company and said
Speaker 3: of Tim the company would have done well, but nowhere
Speaker 3: near as well as it has under Tim.
Speaker 1: That's what you.
Speaker 3: Pointed out earlier. That's interesting for me. I don't know
Speaker 3: if that's true. I mean, nobody will know. But financially,
Speaker 3: Apple has done very well under Tim Cook. They haven't,
Speaker 3: you know, invented a new groundbreaking this or that, But
Speaker 3: groundbreaking this or that's don't come along, you know.
Speaker 1: All the time. Its valuation for shareholders has grown more
Speaker 1: than any other corporation on Earth except for in video. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. During Tim Cook's reign, I mean, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna argue with that? Right, Trump writes.
Speaker 3: For me, it began with a phone call from Tim
Speaker 3: at the beginning of my first term. He had a
Speaker 3: fairly large problem that only I, as president could fix.
Speaker 3: Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a
Speaker 3: consultant who I probably would not have known, but who
Speaker 3: would say that he knew me. Well, okay, the fees
Speaker 3: would be paid, but the job would not have gotten done.
Speaker 3: When I got the call, I said, Wow, it's Tim
Speaker 3: Apple Cook. He puts in Prienthes calling. How big is that.
Speaker 3: I was very impressed with myself to have the head
Speaker 3: of Apple calling to kiss my ass.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Trump is so funny. Oh my gosh, what a unique character.
Speaker 3: I was very impressed with myself to have the head
Speaker 3: of Apple calling to kiss my ass. Anyway, he explained
Speaker 3: his problem, a tough one it was. I felt he
Speaker 3: was right and got it taken care of quickly and effectively.
Speaker 3: This is the beginning of a long and nice relationship.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blahs everything I was taught not to be.
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with myself. Here's the head of
Speaker 1: Apple calling to kiss my ass. That's pretty funny. Funny's
Speaker 1: one work for him. As always, Jack is amused by this,
Speaker 1: which I appreciate. What a unique character.
Speaker 3: I'm not amused by what Virginia is doing today, and
Speaker 3: the media is ignoring it to a great extent. If
Speaker 3: it's not Fox, I'll read a little bit of what
Speaker 3: Jonathan Turley is writing today.
Speaker 1: He's the law professor from George Washington University.
Speaker 3: He also lives in Virginia and voted this morning against
Speaker 3: the Democratic jerry mandering that the state of Virginia is
Speaker 3: trying to pull off. He opens by talking about how
Speaker 3: Abigail Spenberger, the governor, ran on being against jerry mandering
Speaker 3: when it was Texas, and then when her state wants
Speaker 3: to do it, all of a sudden, she's in favorite.
Speaker 1: But that's its own topic. The interesting thing she even
Speaker 1: said she wouldn't support the jerry mandering effort in Virginia,
Speaker 1: but just you know, didn't mean a word of it,
Speaker 1: But just so you know what's going on here, what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do in Virginia. It would take a
Speaker 1: very purple state, almost exactly, a fifty to fifty state,
Speaker 1: and they've got eleven districts there, so eleven congress people
Speaker 1: and ten of the eleven will be Democrat and only
Speaker 1: one Republican in a fifty to fifty state, right, it'd
Speaker 1: be really creative. AI aated the map drawing, but.
Speaker 3: They did it, it would be the most extreme gerry
Speaker 3: mannered state in the entire country. The Democrats are insisting
Speaker 3: they're merely responding to Texas, but this is far more
Speaker 3: extreme than in any other states. Moreover, this is a
Speaker 3: purple state where Democrats are not even trying a modest
Speaker 3: accommodation for roughly half the voters, just similar to what
Speaker 3: they're trying to do in California. Virginia was once widely
Speaker 3: cited as a model of fairness in voting. Spanburger, the governor,
Speaker 3: and the Democrats have now shattered that model. Depending on
Speaker 3: how the vote goes today. It's a single issue ballot
Speaker 3: that they're going to vote on today in Virginia is
Speaker 3: currently polling slightly ahead. We'll see what voters do when
Speaker 3: they go out today. But that is a huge step
Speaker 3: in the wrong direction for our country if we decide that, okay, now,
Speaker 3: we're just gonna completely wipe out the opposition party. If
Speaker 3: you have the majority, you just don't basically even give
Speaker 3: the other side any whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Right and Trump and Fairness has been leading the charge
Speaker 1: on the Republican side to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, our ongoing race to the bottom and the fact
Speaker 3: that neither side is willing to say the other side's
Speaker 3: doing it too. Jonathan Turley mentions Indiana, which it came
Speaker 3: up as a topic, and they, the Republicans who are
Speaker 3: in charge of the state of Indiana, were strongly against
Speaker 3: any gerrymandering out of the Democrats that are represented.
Speaker 1: And Trump's trying to get rid of those guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: getting into state legislature races. Yeah, it's it's absolutely awful
Speaker 1: and it's un American. What troubles me is the brilliantly
Speaker 1: insidious progressive tax code. The more progressive you make it,
Speaker 1: the smaller the pool of taxpayers who actually care about
Speaker 1: where government money goes. And the reason it relates to
Speaker 1: this is you've got a pretty large number of folks
Speaker 1: and organizations, unions especially, that benefit from the free flow
Speaker 1: of tax dollars out of government, and they absolutely want
Speaker 1: democratic jerrymandering because they know then there will be no
Speaker 1: opposition to the crony money flowing their way. And then
Speaker 1: so you've got that concentrated interest against you know, a
Speaker 1: fairly small number of folks who actually pay the income
Speaker 1: tax burden, and they're desperately trying to go to the
Speaker 1: polls to say, oh my god, this has got to stop.
Speaker 1: We're bleeding money, but they're outnumbered.
Speaker 3: So Page County, Virginia is a big deal because it's
Speaker 3: where most of the influencers, mainstream influencers that you listen
Speaker 3: to when politicians live Page County, Virginia and they have
Speaker 3: a billboard up saying Trump is telling voters Trump says,
Speaker 3: vote yes on the jerrymandering vote, which is obviously not true.
Speaker 3: Jonathan Turley pointed out that this is why the Washington
Speaker 3: Post denounced the Democrats in Virginia as pushing jerry mandering
Speaker 3: in the most brazenly dishonest way imaginable. Even the Washington
Speaker 3: Post called them out for being brazenly dishonest. Wow, the
Speaker 3: Democrats of Virginia. But that's where we are now. It's
Speaker 3: just a race to the bottom. I don't know, I
Speaker 3: don't know where the bottom leads us, probably to ruin.
Speaker 1: Well, people like round numbers. And we made it about
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years. That's a good point before
Speaker 1: it collapsed. You know, it's a good run. It's about
Speaker 1: it as long as the Republic is ever gonna last.
Speaker 1: Quick chattergy now, Yes, a quick checking in on the
Speaker 1: war with Iran. Iran's defense forces are in full readiness
Speaker 1: and are negotiating with one finger on the trigger. A
Speaker 1: spokesperson of Iran's government said in an interviewed this morning. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're going to blow off the other nine if you're
Speaker 1: not careful. Yeah, it's belligerents. That's a jingo. So I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you. This is not fun. This
Speaker 1: is adulting, as they say, making sure you have a
Speaker 1: trust and will to make sure your wishes are known
Speaker 1: for your mind, children, especially your stuff, your money, your
Speaker 1: wishes after you go. Trust and Will offers affordable attorney
Speaker 1: designed to state plans online that you can create in
Speaker 1: as little as thirty minutes. Yeah, and as little as
Speaker 1: thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: You can create a will that lets you document your
Speaker 3: wishes and if it gets more complicated than that, they've
Speaker 3: got attorney support that is available to add on to
Speaker 3: your plan. But the big thing is you could get
Speaker 3: started today and make you know, a really good headway
Speaker 3: on something that you know you need to do. They've
Speaker 3: also got state specific tailored to your needs versions, so

Speaker 3: Pasta sauce has come a long way. You're a buy
Speaker 3: it in a jar pasta sauce at the grocery store.
Speaker 3: I feel like when I was younger, a young man,
Speaker 3: it was okay. Now you can buy some like really
Speaker 3: really good. I can't imagine why I would go all
Speaker 3: to all the work to make it from scratch. It's
Speaker 3: so good pasta sauce at the grocery store anyway. One
Speaker 3: of your companies, Praygo, has a chunky style. Guy, I
Speaker 3: am one hundred percent chunky. What are the chunks of
Speaker 3: veggie goodness? Tomatoes, various herbs and spices. Yeah, I love
Speaker 3: the chunky style. Yeah, I like them all. I don't
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm strong in the direction, but
Speaker 3: I like a lot of meat in it. I need meat.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, you always had our own meat? Do you
Speaker 1: get it with it? No, that's please. You gotta add
Speaker 1: your own meat to it. I have done that to
Speaker 1: do but yeah, just for better uh, pray go.
Speaker 3: It's one of your sauce makers. They've got this new
Speaker 3: recording device. It looks kind of like a hockey puck
Speaker 3: or something. You set it in the middle of the
Speaker 3: table and it will record your family's conversation. It's a
Speaker 3: bit of a stunt, but the kind of yes, think
Speaker 3: you admt. But the the it's kind of interesting. Is
Speaker 3: an idea just in general, the theme recording your family
Speaker 3: conversations and just half in them, not always, but every
Speaker 3: once in a while. Who would love that?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 3: Who wouldn't be I don't even know if you could
Speaker 3: take it emotionally, who wouldn't be amazed?
Speaker 1: To go back?
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about my childhood and listen to my young
Speaker 3: mom and dad and me and my brother's young sitting
Speaker 3: around talking at the dinner table.
Speaker 1: Be unbelievable, or my kids, Oh my god, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it was always a laugh riot. I wish I had
Speaker 1: you know, some documentation of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a pretty good idea. Here's a here, there's
Speaker 3: an example where I'm not against recording everything or having
Speaker 3: microphones everywhere. Your own personal space is more of.
Speaker 1: That stuff, not less. Boy, it's tough, though.
Speaker 3: I wonder when when is the right time? A lot
Speaker 3: of that stuff. I find it's a so bittersweet. It's
Speaker 3: just it's it's a roller coaster of emotions. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I've got I got a gazillion because I grew up,
Speaker 3: my kids were born after the smartphone era. I got
Speaker 3: so many videos on my phone, like just practically everything.
Speaker 3: But I mean it's the whole slapping you in the
Speaker 3: face with how fast time goes by, is.
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: You'd have to get over that for sure. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm so busy contemplating it. I can't even form more
Speaker 1: instent Eh. Pretty cool idea from the Prego company. I
Speaker 1: wonder if that'll become.
Speaker 3: Especially as hard drive space becomes cheaper and cheaper and cheaper,
Speaker 3: practically free.
Speaker 1: Why not an audio doesn't take up that now these days?
Speaker 1: Michael sing a sunrise sunset from Fiddler on the Roof.
Speaker 1: Would you I love it when you sing the classics.
Speaker 1: Don't know it?
Speaker 3: No, Oh my god, did you sing Total Eclipse of
Speaker 3: the Heart by Bonnie Tyler?
Speaker 1: Turn around here you go? Wow something something something bright house?
Speaker 3: That was that was like anybody hurt, particularly tuneless?

Speaker 1: of three. Ain't bad, baby. We could talk all night,
Speaker 1: but we ain't getting I ain't that ain't getting us
Speaker 1: nowhere again? I heard us the talks with Iran. This
Speaker 1: is a meat loaf is singing to prumpt I won't either.
Speaker 1: You got to bomb them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see, we'll see if anybody's going to show
Speaker 3: up for the talks. I was just looking at the
Speaker 3: very latest. There's still no indication that anybody's showing up.
Speaker 3: And if anybody does show up, what will be which
Speaker 3: makes it have.
Speaker 1: Any deal making authority if they do show up.
Speaker 3: This is farcical. Seems like a hell of a power play.
Speaker 3: I mean, like Joe and I've been in a lot
Speaker 3: of negotiations with various things and contracts stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I feel like if we were showing up and it's
Speaker 3: like maybe we'll show up, maybe we won't, and we'll
Speaker 3: let you know who it is.
Speaker 1: It seems like they really have the upper hand. I
Speaker 1: it's abusive, no doubt. Yeah, or floundering could be that. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: Well we'll keep our eye on that story. And a
Speaker 1: lot of others stay here. I can remember the first
Speaker 1: time I ever visited Portland. I thought, this is the
Speaker 1: greatest city I've ever been to. Ever.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely fantastic. It's like a queen San Francisco. That
Speaker 3: was quite a few decades ago, and it's gone a
Speaker 3: little crazy since. I'm still an amazing town. But what
Speaker 3: is this what we're about to hear?
Speaker 1: Katie?
Speaker 4: This is a comedian who is in Portland talking about
Speaker 4: landing in Portland.
Speaker 3: Landing at the airport, Gotchatland a female armpit.
Speaker 6: Hair was a city. This is it?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 6: All you Land? They let you know where you are.
Speaker 6: I didn't even get off the plane.
Speaker 5: Seas and gentlemen, thank I'm sorry for saying ladies, sorry
Speaker 5: to gender that speech.
Speaker 6: We mean humans or transhuman people.
Speaker 5: Just keep in mind the overhead compartments have been filled
Speaker 5: with illegal migrants, so let them scatter off. Let them
Speaker 5: off first. If you're white, don't forget to denounce your
Speaker 5: privilege before you get off the plane. Apologize to a
Speaker 5: black person or a queer person for a bunch of
Speaker 5: shit you never did. We're going to do a quick
Speaker 5: Land acknowledgment before we exit. We just want to acknowledge
Speaker 5: that Gate fifty five was.
Speaker 6: Stolen from Delta.
Speaker 5: It's now United and so we just want to apologize.
Speaker 5: We want to just remind you of the wonderful things
Speaker 5: that you can do while here in Portland. You can
Speaker 5: burn down a liquor store without getting arrested. Enjoy some
Speaker 5: of our great sights, like going to a CVS and
Speaker 5: having a teenager unlock your condoms while you wait fifteen.
Speaker 6: Minutes an embarrassment.
Speaker 5: Head down to the park and watch your hair onin
Speaker 5: out of shoot needles at ire.
Speaker 6: Eight year old. Welcome to Courland International.
Speaker 1: Well that's actually true. That was really good. It's really good.
Speaker 1: The Land acknowlishman was funny. Thanks metal guy. Yeah, true
Speaker 1: apropos of nothing, but kind of interesting. The new King
Speaker 1: of Jeopardy Jamie Ding, is the nicest champ ever. Everybody
Speaker 1: loves him. Awkward looking Asian guy wears orange every single day.
Speaker 1: It's his favorite color. He waves like he just learned
Speaker 1: how yesterday, like he's three years old. Uh self, deprecating
Speaker 1: wit and interest, so quirky, they're cool, chasing eclipses, writing
Speaker 1: in italics, driving around with his trivia friends, looking for
Speaker 1: a rare goose, writing in italics. Yeah, but everybody loves him, apparently.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him. I don't watch Jeopardy these days,
Speaker 1: but his chosen introduction is Jamie is a bureaucrat and
Speaker 1: a law student. He clarified in one episode, I'm a
Speaker 1: faceless bureaucrat. But now that I'm on television, I guess
Speaker 1: that's not true anymore. He works on affordable housing. It
Speaker 1: is as an administrator in a New Jersey state agency,
Speaker 1: and is in a weekend law program at Seaton Hall.
Speaker 1: Let's see what do they say. He never comes off
Speaker 1: as cocky, almost seems embarrassed when he wins. I love this.
Speaker 1: He has blazing buzzer speed, a knowledge range that borders
Speaker 1: on omniscience, a nerve for wagers that makes the studio
Speaker 1: audience gasp. He's earned more than three quarters of a million
Speaker 1: dollars so far. Jack. Good for him. It's pretty damned impressive.
Speaker 1: It's an American success story.
Speaker 3: I want checking out a sad story real quick.
Speaker 1: Oh.

Speaker 3: remember him, he's the free speech activist billionaire from Hong
Speaker 3: Kong who got thrown in prison by the Chinese Communist
Speaker 3: Party to die there.
Speaker 1: He's an old man.
Speaker 3: He's a wealthy man who risked his life running a
Speaker 3: news organization in Hong Kong despite demands from the Communist
Speaker 3: Party to shut it down.
Speaker 1: They finally arrested him.
Speaker 3: They found him guilty of some trumped up complete book bs. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he's been writing letters to his children and wife that
Speaker 3: they britished in. They published in the Sunday London Times.
Speaker 3: The Times reported that Jimmy Laie has been denied medicine
Speaker 3: for his diabetes. He's dramatically lost weight, his teeth of
Speaker 3: being in rounding out, his fingernails are falling off, and
Speaker 3: he's still being held in solitary confinement. They're torturing an
Speaker 3: old man to death because he wanted free speech. That's
Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 1: Absolute hero for mankind, advocate for the natural rights of man,
Speaker 1: specifically well liberty and free speech in particular, one of
Speaker 1: the most adorable human beings on.
