Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, now,
Speaker 3: and I know a lot of there's a lot of freakouts,
Speaker 3: you know, and of course I would never support taking
Speaker 3: it by force, but I do think it's I do
Speaker 3: think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to
Speaker 3: acquiring it, and you know, whether they're just buying it
Speaker 3: out right, I mean, if anyone think that's bonkers, it's like, well,
Speaker 3: well remember the Louisiana purchase. I think Alaska was pretty
Speaker 3: pretty a great deal too, fifty million dollars, I think
Speaker 3: it was. It was recorded, it was, it was referred
Speaker 3: to as Seward's folly, and now that was Alaska. Now,
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, open and having all kinds
Speaker 3: of conversations as well.
Speaker 4: I wish we could get away from the anything Trump
Speaker 4: proposes as automatically dumb and ridiculous thing.
Speaker 2: When I was in Washington, d C. We went to
Speaker 2: the Air and Space.
Speaker 4: Museum, which is, you know, the number one attraction for
Speaker 4: especially for kids, but the amount of Space Force stuff
Speaker 4: they had in the museum shop. And remember how roundly
Speaker 4: that was mocked when Trump decided to put together Space Force,
Speaker 4: another branch of the military. Since we've got you know,
Speaker 4: the ground, the air, the water, and now space hilarious,
Speaker 4: What a dummy. I mean, I'll be.
Speaker 5: Practically unanimous the mockery in the mainstream media office. It
Speaker 5: was clearly a good idea, probably overdue, right right, you know,
Speaker 5: I want to get into that topic in the Greenland
Speaker 5: thing very briefly. But I love this And as I
Speaker 5: said earlier in the show, I've never seen a change.
Speaker 5: Well I'll put it this way in my perception of
Speaker 5: a politician like John Fetterman before and I don't know
Speaker 5: if it's the effects of thero or maybe having an
Speaker 5: instant that was incredibly scary, and maybe he changed consciously,
Speaker 5: I don't know, but.
Speaker 2: He strikes me as a very, very different dude.
Speaker 5: He is now the most utterly reasonable, moderate Democrat in
Speaker 5: a lot of ways that I've seen on Capitol Hill
Speaker 5: in a long time.
Speaker 4: Well, remember the backstory on him that we were constantly
Speaker 4: mocking was he's a socialist who grow up on his
Speaker 4: mom's couch and never had add a job in his life, right,
Speaker 4: and ran against doctor Oz is how he ended up
Speaker 4: a senator. But he's got entirely mainstream positions on almost everything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So he was reacting to the reaction to the
Speaker 5: press conference, the Trump press conference yesterday, in which Trump
Speaker 5: said a bunch of different things that are are a
Speaker 5: little surprising, but if you run them through the Trump
Speaker 5: filter and you understand how he communicates, they're not that
Speaker 5: crazy at all. But he was reacting to the reaction
Speaker 5: on his side of the aisle. It's clip fifty seven, Michael,
Speaker 5: when he said this.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's not helpful to freak out. But
Speaker 3: some things might work out, some may not. But that's
Speaker 3: part of ongoing dialogue. But he hasn't even take office
Speaker 3: in two weeks, and you know, we really need to
Speaker 3: pace ourselves. If we're going to freak out over every
Speaker 3: last tweet or every last conversation or press conference.
Speaker 2: God is jump the hell down.
Speaker 4: Is Senator Fetterman, the hoodie wearing stroke victim, going to
Speaker 4: be the one that drags America back to the way
Speaker 4: we used to be, where we didn't freak out about everything,
Speaker 4: and everything wasn't a tweet blast reaction to all stories.
Speaker 5: I doubt it, I love it thought yeah. Anyway, So
Speaker 5: during our one of the show, and if you missed it,
Speaker 5: grab it you gotta subscribe to our podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 5: Getty on the Band. But our one of the show
Speaker 5: we went into a fair amount of depth about the
Speaker 5: Greenland thing and we're not going to invade it. You know, Trump,
Speaker 5: he's imprecise. He says provocative things, he lays out like
Speaker 5: a crazy opening offer and then gets down to business.
Speaker 2: Waste until they surrender.
Speaker 4: Wow right, no quarter, wow wow enslave their men, whatever
Speaker 4: you gotta do.
Speaker 5: But as we talked about during our one of the show,
Speaker 5: Greenland we'll soon have difficult to describe how huge a
Speaker 5: geopolitical significance it and the waterways around it are going
Speaker 5: to have, particularly if the warming continues. The global trade
Speaker 5: a huge percentaers of global trade will be going around
Speaker 5: Greenland through the Arctic passages which are going to be
Speaker 5: opening up. And Greenland is a protectorate, a territory of Denmark,
Speaker 5: of all places, and under the umbrella of the EU.
Speaker 5: And if it's up to Denmark to ensure the free
Speaker 5: passage of shipping and trade around the world. I'm a
Speaker 5: little worried about the free shipping and trade around the world.
Speaker 5: And so Trump's point, and as usual, you've got to
Speaker 5: like to dig into it to figure out what the
Speaker 5: hell he's talking about, which is one of his greatest failings. Yes, strengths,
Speaker 5: he has failings like all us. But if the US
Speaker 5: is going to be the country that ensures the continuation
Speaker 5: of free trade and not trade under the mob like
Speaker 5: stranglehold of Shijin Ping and Vladimir Putin and whoever succeeds
Speaker 5: them in the Arctic, if we're in charge of that,
Speaker 5: we need a serious say, and we need a serious
Speaker 5: presence in Greenland, and I think that'll happen. We already
Speaker 5: have a pretty fair presence. They're a space force port
Speaker 5: and a longtime Air Force base that I think is
Speaker 5: mostly space force now.
Speaker 2: But Greenland's incredibly important.
Speaker 4: I'm going to guess. I think you have these facts handy,
Speaker 4: you're Greenland facts. The population of Greenland is I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go with six million, six million in people. Jack, is
Speaker 4: that your guess?
Speaker 2: That is my guess.
Speaker 5: What is the parture of official guess? And the guess that
Speaker 5: you have is that.
Speaker 2: Scrolling scroll past imports and exports, and.
Speaker 5: Oh there is demographics, U, Katie, Katie, you you're close.
Speaker 5: Fifty seven thousand is the total population. Oh yes, it's
Speaker 5: a barren wasteland.
Speaker 2: Fifty seven thousand.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like it makes it makes the Yukon look like
Speaker 5: Miami Beach in terms of climate. Wow, Greenld is fifty
Speaker 5: seven thousand people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's way way, way, way way north. Well, then
Speaker 2: who cares what? It will be much more hospitable. Who
Speaker 2: cares what?
Speaker 5: They because we don't conduct wars a conquest in the
Speaker 5: twenty first century, vladimirror fifty seven thousand people.
Speaker 2: We could take it in a day. That's funny.
Speaker 4: That should be part of the story anytime they're talking
Speaker 4: about this. I was listening to and they had some
Speaker 4: politician on there who was in favor of Greenland coming
Speaker 4: under the American umbrella. And he's mostly worried about China
Speaker 4: and how China wants greenland and you know, both the
Speaker 4: waterways and their natural resources. Okay, you're a politician representing
Speaker 4: I don't know how many people, fifty seven thousand.
Speaker 5: All right, Yeah, I'm a flaming geek for this sort
Speaker 5: of thing. But the more I learn about Greenland, the
Speaker 5: more interesting it becomes, partly just geographically. I remember being
Speaker 5: astounded at one point somebody mentioned to me that they're
Speaker 5: flying to Japan and that the flight goes over the pole,
Speaker 5: and I thought, how can that be the shortest way?
Speaker 5: Because I just picture Earth is you go around like horizontally,
Speaker 5: you know, the way a map is oriented.
Speaker 2: I realized we're a ball floating in space. There's no
Speaker 2: such thing as horizontal.
Speaker 5: But you know, you go around the equator. There's no
Speaker 5: going around the planet top to bottom. It's east west
Speaker 5: top to bottom, like Greenland to Russia is nothing, and
Speaker 5: to China's not that much either. So the Arctic is
Speaker 5: going to be one of the great geopolitical areas of
Speaker 5: struggle in the next fifty years.
Speaker 2: There's no denying it. Katie greenwayhs in with more Greenland knowledge.
Speaker 6: It's not knowledge, but I just think we should make
Speaker 6: an executive order given the population, just a national guard,
Speaker 6: couple of lifeguards.
Speaker 2: Maybe I feel like tank.
Speaker 4: Certainly, one tank, you unload, one tank, you roll into
Speaker 4: the capitol, you put up our flag and we're done.
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, you probably don't even need that.
Speaker 4: Actually, like Katie said, a couple of lifeguards might do
Speaker 4: the trick.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you, if you have a reasonably loud voice,
Speaker 5: you could probably assemble all of Greenland together in one
Speaker 5: stadium and shout to them and explain what's going on,
Speaker 5: and probably have a show of hands vote and be like,
Speaker 5: all right, well, thanks, thanks for coming along. Well we'll
Speaker 5: have some flags brought in later. But it just as
Speaker 5: you were, It's fine. The US is pretty benign when
Speaker 5: it comes to being you know, under our umbrella.
Speaker 4: Elon could cut him eat a check for like ten
Speaker 4: thousand dollars and they'd all get on board.
Speaker 2: Probably one wouldn't cost that much.
Speaker 6: And Don Junior is there, so it's like we're already
Speaker 6: half done. You know, we already got one guy over.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Don Junior going there yesterday and claiming I just
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to see Greenland.
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, I mean, that's that silly.
Speaker 4: Speaking of foreign policy before we take a break, and
Speaker 4: this is kind of like what Joe was bringing up
Speaker 4: yesterday with the economy. There's a possibility that there are
Speaker 4: some there's some bad news out there economically for Trump.
Speaker 4: That's just part of the business cycle that's got you know,
Speaker 4: it's not anything he can do anything about or will
Speaker 4: be to blame for. But it's just kind of the
Speaker 4: way things go up and down with hiring and firing
Speaker 4: and mortgages and all.
Speaker 2: That sort of stuff.
Speaker 4: Also with foreign policy, he's got a bunch of stuff
Speaker 4: that's landing on his desk. For instance, the fact that
Speaker 4: Iran is closer to a bamb than they have ever been.
Speaker 4: They currently, according to our own estimates, need about one
Speaker 4: to two weeks to get enough enriched uranium to be
Speaker 4: able to make a bomb, so their breakout time is
Speaker 4: faster than it's ever been. And Israel is sworn that
Speaker 4: one they don't want to let that happen, and two
Speaker 4: they can't do it on their own. They need to
Speaker 4: help with the United States. Trump is hinted that he's
Speaker 4: willing to help on that project. If I had to
Speaker 4: bet money on a big foreign policy story of the
Speaker 4: first portion of Trump's first year, it's going to be
Speaker 4: Israel and US are going to take out Iran's nuclear
Speaker 4: program or something very much like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something just tangential to that.
Speaker 5: You're one hundred percent right, Yeah, Iran is a frightened,
Speaker 5: cornered beast right now. And this is not some sort
Speaker 5: of argument in favor of Obama's phony Iran nuclear deal.
Speaker 5: It's just a statement of fact. They are a cornered beast,
Speaker 5: and that's what a beast is most dangerous. So I'm
Speaker 5: sure our foreign policy wonks have their squarely on them.
Speaker 2: If not, bb NET and Yaho certainly does.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 4: Gallup came out with what people think of the Biden
Speaker 4: presidency where it ranks with other presidents not good and don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna get better over time. I
Speaker 4: think this is probably his eye mark would be my guess.
Speaker 5: There's this certain emoji that I think is appropriate for
Speaker 5: describing the Biden administration's job in the White House.
Speaker 4: Man the press can claim Nancy Pelosi can ain't the
Speaker 4: smiley one. Nancy can say he ought to be on
Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore, but that ain't the way people feel about it.
Speaker 4: Among other things, we've got to talk about on the way.
Speaker 5: We're probably not going to annex Canada, but this guy
Speaker 5: is probably going to be running running the place next.
Speaker 2: That would be the clip we discussed. Hold on just
Speaker 2: a second, my computer here, oh damn computer.
Speaker 7: On the on the topic, I mean, in terms of
Speaker 7: your sort of strategy currently. You're obviously taking the populist pathway.
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 7: Well, certainly you tap a very strong ideological language. Quite
Speaker 7: frequently a lot of people would would say that you're
Speaker 7: simply taking a page out of the Donald.
Speaker 2: Trump uh like which people would say that.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm served a great many Canadians, but like who,
Speaker 7: I don't know who, but.
Speaker 2: Whether the one who asked the questions? So yeah, you
Speaker 2: much know somebody.
Speaker 7: Okay, taking the page of Donald Trump's book.
Speaker 2: But what you think about? What page? What page? Can
Speaker 2: you get a page?
Speaker 7: Give me the page you can in terms of in
Speaker 7: terms of turning things quite dramatically, in terms of I'm
Speaker 7: not sure, I don't know, I don't know what you're.
Speaker 4: Quiting that first of all, that's absolutely hilarious. Perfect and
Speaker 4: he he might be the prime minister.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pierre Pouliev, he's the leader of the biggest opposition party.
Speaker 2: Really interesting guy.
Speaker 5: He really came to promt It's when the like all
Speaker 5: of Canadia, Canada's political establishment blasted the Freedom convoys. Those
Speaker 5: truckers were protesting the COVID nineteen mandates, among other things,
Speaker 5: and the vaccine requirements to be a trucker out on
Speaker 5: the road alone. But Pauliev said, no, these guys are right,
Speaker 5: and so as Canada. Tires of the empty promises and
Speaker 5: the progressive rot of woke Elvis and he's just resigned.
Speaker 2: Paoliev is good. There's a good chance he will be
Speaker 2: the next prime minister. I don't understand.
Speaker 5: It's really interesting adopted son of a couple of school teachers.
Speaker 5: Intense workout regimen that involves flipping a five hundred pound
Speaker 5: tractor tire in a field and sprinting up hill while
Speaker 5: dragging a seventy five pound weight sled.
Speaker 2: How old is he he's forty five? Wow?
Speaker 5: Yeah, in Canada, they don't understand that somebody needs to
Speaker 5: be at least eighty before they're in charge, right, silly Canadians.
Speaker 4: So the La County Sheriff and the fire department, they're
Speaker 4: doing their first big update since the fire happened. They're
Speaker 4: now saying there have been two deaths. There are thousands
Speaker 4: of structures that have been completely destroyed.
Speaker 2: Thousands. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: That is gonna shake out in an interesting way, especially
Speaker 4: the homes and businesses that didn't have any insurance for
Speaker 4: fire that got dropped in the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 4: which we found about out about earlier from a friend
Speaker 4: who had to abandon his home which may have also
Speaker 4: burned down.
Speaker 5: And as today is dry and very windy again today
Speaker 5: could be a nightmare. So certainly hoping and praying for
Speaker 5: the good people of that part of the world. Back
Speaker 5: to Canada, briefly, fifty five percent of Canadians hold an
Speaker 5: unfavorable view of Pollia fifty five percent. That compares to
Speaker 5: seventy four percent negative for Trudeau and his party. So
Speaker 5: you think our politicians are unpopular, woof, But this guy's
Speaker 5: rejected a lot of the woke crap that we've been
Speaker 5: railing against. I've got a great example for you next
Speaker 5: segment if we can squeeze it in the percentage of
Speaker 5: kids in America who are going to government schools where
Speaker 5: they are teaching radical gender theory. It's horrifying. Stay tuned
Speaker 5: to be horrified in Canada, No in the US.
Speaker 4: In the United States, Okay, yeah, I don't understand why
Speaker 4: more politicians doing to answer questions like that, or sports
Speaker 4: stars or anybody, because you're regularly attacked with like generality,
Speaker 4: some people say, your philosophy, what people what philosophy?
Speaker 2: What aspect of my philosophy.
Speaker 4: Your critics suggest that they're wrong, or just say, what
Speaker 4: is your specific thing?
Speaker 2: Tell me what you're trying to.
Speaker 4: Don't just hint at something negative and expect me to
Speaker 4: respond to it. What specific thing are you unhappy about
Speaker 4: that you want me to explain. I don't know why
Speaker 4: that doesn't that more often. I think it would get
Speaker 4: you out of a lot of jams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 5: I would agree there the tendency of human beings to
Speaker 5: go along with what's expected of them, even if it's
Speaker 5: completely unfair. You know, that's the way we get along
Speaker 5: as a species or a social beast. But it goes
Speaker 5: way too far, particularly when the other side, and I've
Speaker 5: got a good example of this coming up as well,
Speaker 5: particularly when the other side thinks, you know what, we're
Speaker 5: gonna check the rules. We're not going to do the
Speaker 5: things that are you know, the social lubricants that help
Speaker 5: people get along. We're just gonna be mean as hell
Speaker 5: and make people dance to our tune.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna remember that in my own life. Just a
Speaker 4: critics don't like your tone on this? Which critics? What
Speaker 4: did they say?
Speaker 2: My tone on what? What did I say? Specifically?
Speaker 4: That you have a problem with, and then I'll respond
Speaker 4: to that as opposed to just a general something well right, or.
Speaker 5: Say, I chose my tone intentionally and I stand by it.
Speaker 5: What specifically do you have against it? What's the problem?
Speaker 2: That was good?
Speaker 4: An he did it while eating an apple, which makes
Speaker 4: it better, which which is a healthy snack.
Speaker 5: Typical of a guy who hurls five hundred pound tractor tires.
Speaker 2: About right they fit?
Speaker 4: How can you lift a flip over a five hundred
Speaker 4: pound tractor tire?
Speaker 2: I can't wow.
Speaker 4: I want to get to those gallop ratings on how
Speaker 4: people feel about Joe Biden. At this point, it's really
Speaker 4: quite a more people agreed with you than you thought.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty's listening to the press conference that they're
Speaker 1: doing right now about the fires in the LA area,
Speaker 1: and I got a big complaint about that sort of
Speaker 1: thing that has bothered me my entire media career.
Speaker 2: That might be kind of controversial. I'll get to that later.
Speaker 4: Oh no, not controversy. Were iman madmen might make me
Speaker 4: look like a jerk, but that sorry, oh.
Speaker 5: Boy, not again. So I'd meant to mention in discussing
Speaker 5: young mister Pouliev in Canada who maybe the next prime minister.
Speaker 5: He told Jordan Peterson that his polling success comes down
Speaker 5: to voters rejecting quote horrendous utopian wokeism and the deteriorating economy.
Speaker 5: He could have been talking about the US, and so
Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons I like the guy. And
Speaker 5: there's actually been some good news on the fighting neo Marxism,
Speaker 5: because that's what all the wokeism is. It mascarades as
Speaker 5: moral or racial or whatever justice seeking.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 5: It's just a takeover. But Robbie Starbuck had another big victory.
Speaker 5: McDonald's has jumped far back from their crazy ass DEI goals,
Speaker 5: joining you know, wal Martin, John Teere and Tractress Plan
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of others that have backed off of
Speaker 5: those post George Floyd trips down the crazy Highway.
Speaker 2: Is Nike on that list? Did they retreat? I don't
Speaker 2: think so.
Speaker 5: No. I remember Riley Gaines in her organization made that
Speaker 5: brilliant attitude a little girl. I'm sorry that brilliant I'm
Speaker 5: trying to read and talk at the same time that
Speaker 5: brilliant advertising directed at Nike about protecting women's spaces and
Speaker 5: women's sports.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I super into the variety of hot nikes and
Speaker 4: stuff like that, and I thought.
Speaker 2: Do I mind?
Speaker 4: Do I want to support this company? I don't remember
Speaker 4: where they are. I know I hated him at one point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So anyway, the reason I bring all of that
Speaker 5: up is just to remind everybody, as I often say,
Speaker 5: this is not the beginning of the end. This is
Speaker 5: the end of the beginning. The troops have just gotten
Speaker 5: on the troop ships. GM is just converted from making
Speaker 5: cars to tanks. The fight has just begun dismantling all
Speaker 5: this stuff. And to that end, came across a great
Speaker 5: piece by Daniel buck in The National Review, who points
Speaker 5: out more than a third of American students, more than
Speaker 5: a third, are being taught modern radical transgender theory. And
Speaker 5: he talks about it seems every day. Another school unferls
Speaker 5: a young Transjoy banner on school grounds, Another library shelves
Speaker 5: of book delineating the tenets of gender theory. Another district
Speaker 5: hosts of drag event for children. But just how persuasive,
Speaker 5: her pervasive? Rather is this stuff in schools? And he
Speaker 5: poses the question our conservative media merely nut picking finding
Speaker 5: the most egregious example and putting them up on libs
Speaker 5: of TikTok, for instance, because he said there will always
Speaker 5: be some number of kooks, cranks, and other screwballs holding
Speaker 5: conspiratorial views and exhibiting outlandish behavior.
Speaker 2: So are these stories representative or outliers?
Speaker 4: That's very, very true, and I wonder that often right
Speaker 4: to answer that question.
Speaker 5: In a recently released report for the Heritage Foundation, my
Speaker 5: co author Jay Richards and I scan the health education
Speaker 5: framework of every state in America to see how many
Speaker 5: compel educators to teach the central tenet of gender theory
Speaker 5: that gender is socially constructed. And I don't even like
Speaker 5: the term gender. It's an intentionally confusing term. They mean
Speaker 5: sex but anyway. Do they encourage a distinction between sex
Speaker 5: or sex organs and gender, the latter of which is
Speaker 5: undefined or treated as a social construct. Do they introduce
Speaker 5: concepts of gender identity or sex assigned at birth to children?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: Do they downplay or omit references to biological sex or
Speaker 5: sex differences? Do they employed terms such as cisgender, transgender,
Speaker 5: and non binary?
Speaker 2: These are simple questions.
Speaker 5: Affirmative answers are evidence that a curriculum pushes gender ideology
Speaker 5: on teachers and kids. And in all, we found that
Speaker 5: the health frameworks of sixteen states contain the pseudo scientific
Speaker 5: belief that biological sex is entirely divorced from gender. And
Speaker 5: because a number of these are high population states like
Speaker 5: California and New York, that amount it amounts to roughly
Speaker 5: thirty seven percent of American students.
Speaker 2: Wow, over a third get that crap.
Speaker 5: You don't have to know how to read and write
Speaker 5: or anything in Connecticut, but they, for example, require that
Speaker 5: students be able to quote, define, and explain differences between
Speaker 5: cis gender, transgender, gender, non binary gender.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, gender identity. Pull your kid out of
Speaker 4: that school if that's what they're learning. God, that is horrible,
Speaker 4: freaking unbelievable that you're teaching a little kid that a
Speaker 4: little kid's got to memorize that s. I want to
Speaker 4: say the real word because that's what it is. Oh God,
Speaker 4: that makes me mad.
Speaker 5: In California, students are taught that children younger than kindergarten
Speaker 5: can identify as transgender. In fact, it's required they be
Speaker 5: taught that.
Speaker 2: That is so crazy.
Speaker 4: And you know what, I would hate this if you
Speaker 4: were already succeeding in math and reading and the other
Speaker 4: important things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't point.
Speaker 4: You've dumped down what qualifies as proficient little by little
Speaker 4: over the years to where it's just embarrassing low, embarrassingly
Speaker 4: low to even.
Speaker 2: Pass, and the numbers are still in the toilet.
Speaker 4: How about you worry about that before you're teaching kindergarteners
Speaker 4: making them memorize the genderbread man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to talk about scores in the toilet.
Speaker 5: In the Great State of Illinois, students are expected to
Speaker 5: discuss the role and use of hormone blockers.
Speaker 2: That is so crazy.
Speaker 5: The Governor of Illinois, JB. Prisker, is a monster. He's
Speaker 5: a neo Marxist gender bending monster.
Speaker 2: Can you balance a checkbook on what?
Speaker 4: Now? I can explain you what hormone blockers are. I
Speaker 4: learned it in social studies.
Speaker 5: It's worth noting in points how many of these frameworks
Speaker 5: include explicit topics in addition to gender theory, abortion, lubrication,
Speaker 5: many others not fit to print, and thirty seven percent
Speaker 5: probably crazy people are crazy?
Speaker 2: That is correct. You're so crazy.
Speaker 5: Why is there avowed neo Marxists who've influenced soft heads
Speaker 5: into thinking this is morally correct?
Speaker 4: Why is it grade schooler learning about sexual lubricants.
Speaker 5: Even in red states like Alabama, over half of schools
Speaker 5: teach about gender identity, the idea that a person could
Speaker 5: be a gender that doesn't match their biological sex.
Speaker 2: God, and all this happened like an hour ago. What
Speaker 2: the hell?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely insane and troubling. But again, we're
Speaker 5: at the end of the beginning. Friends. It's you almost
Speaker 5: if you step back and look at it as a
Speaker 5: political scientist or a student of ideas, you have to
Speaker 5: be in awe of their effectiveness at operating undercover first,
Speaker 5: then cloaking themselves in what seemed to be moral arguments
Speaker 5: or arguments against bigotry that convinced a lot of again
Speaker 5: I call them soft heads well meeting people that don't
Speaker 5: think critically that all of this crazy ass mumbo jumbo
Speaker 5: that nobody believed ten years ago is now not only true,
Speaker 5: but it's so true that anybody who dare say, hey,
Speaker 5: can we talk about this for a minute ought to
Speaker 5: be run out of polite society, ought to be ruined,
Speaker 5: ought to lose their career.
Speaker 2: Anybody who just says, whoa, can we tap the brakes here?
Speaker 5: If you still can't recognize a radical ideology and the
Speaker 5: damage it's doing.
Speaker 2: I pity you and get out of the way. The
Speaker 2: rest of us are going to fight it.
Speaker 4: So that fire in the LA Area fires, it's a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of different fires, is horrific. They just had
Speaker 4: a big press conference you can hate with a couple
Speaker 4: of headlines on that. Fox is still saying they're expecting
Speaker 4: one hundred mile an hour gusts today. That does not
Speaker 4: help fighting the fires, all of which are zero.
Speaker 2: Percent contained at this point. We got a lot more
Speaker 2: on the way in a variety of topics.
Speaker 8: Stay here, what you see the remnants of flames. Those
Speaker 8: were all homes and as you drive down pch you
Speaker 8: couldn't receive the water because they are home after home
Speaker 8: after home. Now they are all gone, and he's going
Speaker 8: to pan all the way over to those lights far
Speaker 8: down there.
Speaker 2: Those were all homes. You guys, they're gone. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: quite amazing.
Speaker 4: I had some people texting me yesterday this is the
Speaker 4: fires in the LA Area. A couple of different spots
Speaker 4: quite far apart where they've got these fires going on,
Speaker 4: including people we personally know who may have had their
Speaker 4: homes burned down. Some people are saying, man, have you
Speaker 4: seen the videos? Have you seen the pictures? And I thought, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean I've seen fires and everything before, or so
Speaker 4: I can imagine it. Then I actually saw some of
Speaker 4: the stuff on Twitter. Holy crap. I think it was
Speaker 4: the wind that made it so exceptionally crazy. The actor
Speaker 4: James Woods. I was following his Twitter thread as his
Speaker 4: porch was on fire and he's putting out pictures of
Speaker 4: it as he's loading up and taking off and getting
Speaker 4: out of there, and his neighbor's house burnt down, and
Speaker 4: he thinks maybe his house burnt down.
Speaker 2: He hasn't been able to go back.
Speaker 4: Thousands of buildings have burnt down, they've already announced, and
Speaker 4: so far only two deaths that they've announced. And is
Speaker 4: it still all zero percent, every single fire zero percent contained?
Speaker 5: At this powling winds all day today again? Oh ye
Speaker 5: a nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And last night people I know that were sitting in
Speaker 4: the dark. Electricity was completely off, and you know how
Speaker 4: in the electricity goes out in the neighborhood. It's so
Speaker 4: dang dark you can't see anything. And they had to
Speaker 4: get in the cars and leave and try to find
Speaker 4: their way to a road that didn't have too much
Speaker 4: traffic people getting out of the cars and run into
Speaker 4: the water, like happened in Hawaii a while back.
Speaker 2: Oh, just horrible, horrible, horrible, Mother Nature, Joe, Mother Nature.
Speaker 4: I stopped following Mark Halprin's morning podcast after the election.
Speaker 4: I was on it every single day when he had
Speaker 4: have the very latest news on Kamala Harrison, Donald Trump's campaign,
Speaker 4: and everything like that, because he's one of my favorite
Speaker 4: political journalists and he's got some of the best sources
Speaker 4: in all of journalism. But I was looking at some
Speaker 4: of the quotes that he tweeted out today from his
Speaker 4: podcast this morning.
Speaker 2: I think you might find this interesting. Here's one thing
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 4: I have zero doubt that there was more coordination on
Speaker 4: Lawfair than has been reported. I have zero doubt of that,
Speaker 4: and I think it could be extensively more helper and
Speaker 4: reported today. I think that we're going to see a
Speaker 4: congressional investigation about that. We might see a Justice Department
Speaker 4: investigation about the coordination. Maybe we'll see somebody in media
Speaker 4: come forward. I don't think Lawfair is going to age well.
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, we were saying at the time,
Speaker 4: you're telling me all six of these cases magically showed
Speaker 4: up in an election year designed to have him in
Speaker 4: a courtroom while he's running for president. I'll be damned, right,
Speaker 4: some of the alleged crimes so fresh, they were sushi grade,
Speaker 4: and some of them years and years ago, right, and.
Speaker 2: They all came down to.
Speaker 4: Election year, and obviously coordinating them. The timing of those
Speaker 4: would be completely uncool from a justice standpoint.
Speaker 2: So sure also on that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: Mark Alprin said this morning, I never predict the outcome
Speaker 4: of judges, justices or jurors, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Making an exception today.
Speaker 4: I think the Supreme Court is going to get involved
Speaker 4: in the and block the sentencing in the Stormy Daniel's case.
Speaker 4: I think the Supreme Court will stop this. I don't
Speaker 4: even remember where that one is.
Speaker 2: What did he get?
Speaker 5: What did he he owes her money? Or I happen
Speaker 5: to just be reading about this. This is Judge Juan
Speaker 5: Murshaan who had months and months and months to decide
Speaker 5: on scheduling the sentencing and when and whether to do it,
Speaker 5: and announced with three weeks before the inauguration, Yeah we're
Speaker 5: going to do it in two weeks, and how that
Speaker 5: was unprecedented and crazy and unfair. And it was clearly
Speaker 5: so that Trump would be branded a felon as he
Speaker 5: took the Oval office and not be able to appeal
Speaker 5: it in time.
Speaker 4: Right, So that gets to the hole there's some coordination
Speaker 4: going on here.
Speaker 5: Oh and by the way, that was written in Slate
Speaker 5: for the love of partisanship, the far left state. Slate
Speaker 5: was like, this is not cool, this is not good judging.
Speaker 4: Well, right, and as we have said a million times,
Speaker 4: but I don't understand how more people don't get it.
Speaker 4: If I'm a lefty, you let this go. You think
Speaker 4: the right's not going to do it when they have
Speaker 4: the power to do it to your guy? Is this
Speaker 4: the way we want it to be going forward?
Speaker 2: Of course not.
Speaker 5: Boy, it's hard to get those arguments to stick. People
Speaker 5: are so feverish for power and they're so cynical in
Speaker 5: the political establishment. I have more on that to come,
Speaker 5: but I don't want to get in the way if
Speaker 5: you have more.
Speaker 2: There's one more thing that's not related to that. From the.
Speaker 4: Mark Alpern podcast this morning, and I just thought this
Speaker 4: was interesting. They're talking about a variety of things, and
Speaker 4: Trump discussing Greenland and it's benefits and everything like that.
Speaker 4: And Shawn Spicer, who if you remember, was Donald Trump's
Speaker 4: first White House press person, said, I have always been
Speaker 4: shocked by the level of detail that Donald.
Speaker 2: Trump can command.
Speaker 4: Said Shawn Spicer, his level of recall is, honest to god,
Speaker 4: like no one I've ever seen before. Find that interesting, Oh,
Speaker 4: specifically saying about things he cares about. So if he
Speaker 4: doesn't care about something, he hasn't looked into it. He
Speaker 4: has no interest, as we've all seen, and he knows
Speaker 4: very little about it and is willing to spot off
Speaker 4: of it. But if it's some issue he's interested, Like
Speaker 4: I think, for whatever reasons, he's decided Greenland is important.
Speaker 4: Apparently he has tons of knowledge about it and looks
Speaker 4: into it and can recall it. It's funny you should
Speaker 4: bring that up.
Speaker 5: I was watching some of the news conferences today and
Speaker 5: it struck me that because Trump's speaking style makes me insane,
Speaker 5: how he doesn't finish sentences and he leaves things on said,
Speaker 5: and he gives his opponents, you know, clubs to club
Speaker 5: him with.
Speaker 2: But it occurred to me.
Speaker 5: I can't remember what he was talking about, but I
Speaker 5: could see in his eyes, this is a guy realizing
Speaker 5: that there are so many tangents to what he's saying.
Speaker 5: If he starts down, that it's going to turn into
Speaker 5: just a cul de sac. And so he just kind
Speaker 5: of left off because I've often thought, and I'm not
Speaker 5: proud of this, that he just he had nothing else
Speaker 5: to say. But I could tell at that moment he
Speaker 5: had so much to say that he was just kind
Speaker 5: of leaving it alone. And his speaking style is still frustrating.
Speaker 5: But I think it's it's not what I thought it
Speaker 5: was necessarily.
Speaker 2: So I teach this a couple of times. I should
Speaker 2: mention it.
Speaker 4: Gallopaza with a poll of where Joe Biden ranks as
Speaker 4: presidents and people's minds currently, and these numbers change over time.
Speaker 4: Some people go up, some people go down. I feel
Speaker 4: like Biden's going to go down over time. If anything,
Speaker 4: I could be wrong, but.
Speaker 2: I agree completely. He doesn't start from a good spot.
Speaker 4: Only six percent of adults responded that history would remember
Speaker 4: Biden as an outstanding president. Thirteen percent thought he'd be
Speaker 4: regarded as above average. So above average and outstanding adds
Speaker 4: up to nineteen percent. And we'll get to some of
Speaker 4: the other presidents to see how it compares it In
Speaker 4: a little bit, but that's very low. Another twenty six
Speaker 4: percent said Biden will go down. His history is just average.
Speaker 4: So Biden's minus thirty five percentage point net positive rating
Speaker 4: ranks near the bottom of the list.
Speaker 2: I'd say near the bottom. And this is all modern
Speaker 2: presidents where they've done gallop polling. So it goes back
Speaker 2: to Kennedy.
Speaker 4: Only Nixon is lower than Biden, at minus forty two
Speaker 4: on the positive versus negative.
Speaker 2: Biden's at minus thirty five.
Speaker 4: So he's down in Nixon territory to start with, and
Speaker 4: I think he's going to go down from there. By
Speaker 4: the way, if you're wondering where some of the other
Speaker 4: presidents work, perhaps the guy you voted for, maybe Donald
Speaker 4: Trump in his first term seventeen percent outstanding, twenty three
Speaker 4: percent above average, so that adds up to obviously forty percent,
Speaker 4: and he's got sixteen percent average, so he's in way
Speaker 4: better shape than Joe Biden after his first term.
Speaker 2: This idea is a bunch of malarkey.
Speaker 5: Sometimes negative feelings fail as you were hinting at, or
Speaker 5: I'm sorry they fall as you were hinting at earlier.
Speaker 5: I don't think it'll be that So for Biden. He
Speaker 5: was an awful president, awful on virtually every single topic.
Speaker 4: And so much more information is going to come out
Speaker 4: about how bad his brain was and become more clear
Speaker 4: how awful it was for him to make the decision
Speaker 4: to run again. And yeah, yeah, so like Trump has
Speaker 4: got pretty high numbers. Those are people who like Trump,
Speaker 4: voted for Trump. Trump has the highest negative or tide
Speaker 4: for the highest negative number, with Biden at thirty one
Speaker 4: who think he was a poor president. That's Democrats. The
Speaker 4: difference with Biden is those Democrats, the few that said
Speaker 4: he was positive. When they find out how bad a
Speaker 4: shape he was and he ran anyway, they're going to
Speaker 4: turn on him.
Speaker 2: So that's his numbers are going to be expect so
Speaker 2: they should. Yeah.
Speaker 4: By the way, your two highest ranking presidents, Number one,
Speaker 4: John F. Kennedy, he was only president for thirty eight months.
Speaker 4: I think John F. Kennedy twenty two percent outstanding, forty
Speaker 4: eight percent above average.
Speaker 2: That's a huge number. For whatever reason.
Speaker 5: Some of it to me, it's like looking back on
Speaker 5: the career of Nirvana Kurt Kobain.
Speaker 2: I mean, he died young. I remember talking to my
Speaker 2: parents about this.
Speaker 5: The worshipfulness of JFK in school and they said, you know,
Speaker 5: he didn't finish his term. And there are some pretty
Speaker 5: serious birds coming home.
Speaker 4: To roost Reagan and Obama with very high numbers. Also
Speaker 4: a couple of two term presidents in modern history.
Speaker 2: Biden and Trump. Down toward the bottom.
Speaker 5: Our four of the show you might find interesting. And
Speaker 5: if you don't get hour four live, grab it vive podcast,
Speaker 5: you ought to subscribe to Armstrong and Getting on demand.
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of cynicism.
Speaker 5: I'm a skeptic and a realist, but there's one area
Speaker 5: of life that you ought to be bitterly cynical about.
Speaker 5: We will discuss hope you can stay around Armstrong and
