Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty.
Speaker 3: Arm Strong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Getty Strong.
Speaker 3: We're so close to the fourth of July. Of course,
Speaker 3: Joe and I aren't actually here.
Speaker 4: We're out there trying not to blow our thumbs off
Speaker 4: with a variety of firecrackers.
Speaker 3: We got one thumb left anyway.
Speaker 4: Happy Birthday, America, So happy and proud to be an American.
Speaker 3: Now more of the Armstrong and Getty replay.
Speaker 4: I wasn't sure I was going to bring it up,
Speaker 4: but I had one of my more Homer Simpson esque moments.
Speaker 4: I almost Michael, did you have any luck in finding
Speaker 4: theme music? I'll let you know. But I almost forgot
Speaker 4: to ask Michael to get theme music because I was
Speaker 4: sitting here contemplating which do I like. More corn bread,
Speaker 4: which I brought up yesterday, is perhaps the best thing
Speaker 4: in the world, or fresh made banana bread. That's what
Speaker 4: I was thinking, where they're so different, but they're both
Speaker 4: instead of you know, my work duties.
Speaker 5: Well, completely different flavor. But I would right now if
Speaker 5: I had a warm piece with butter of each which
Speaker 5: would I reach for first? One is obviously sweeter than
Speaker 5: the other.
Speaker 4: Usually both proof that God loves us and wants us
Speaker 4: to be happy.
Speaker 5: Oh kidding well, I think I threatened this last year
Speaker 5: as like a resolution, learning to make good banana bread,
Speaker 5: and I still would like to do that, like recipes
Speaker 5: and try a couple things and become good at it.
Speaker 5: Just made the I can't cook anything but make just
Speaker 5: get good at banana bread.
Speaker 4: Katie, Where do you stand on banana bread? I could
Speaker 4: eat an entire loaf.
Speaker 5: It's a problem. I have eaten entire loaf. That's one
Speaker 5: of the problems.
Speaker 4: I'm going to be very large if I start making
Speaker 4: banana bread on a regular basis.
Speaker 3: I'll have to give you. Oh no, sir, go ahead, Michael.
Speaker 3: It's healthy. It's got bananas in it. That's that's what
Speaker 3: we all say.
Speaker 6: I'll have to share with you the recipe that I
Speaker 6: have for banana blueberry muffins that has zero flour.
Speaker 3: Oh that's the one you use that to me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, Yeah, I've got to alert the chef and
Speaker 4: the baker and the family to that.
Speaker 6: I forgot bananas, blueberries, two eggs, and a teaspoon of
Speaker 6: baking soda.
Speaker 3: That is it?
Speaker 6: No flour, no flour, And I've eaten two of those
Speaker 6: muffins every morning for breakfast for the last week.
Speaker 5: I think you're a witch. That's not possible, all right
Speaker 5: enough to try it.
Speaker 4: So welcome to these untied States. It's an anagram of
Speaker 4: these United States. And actually I thought of going with
Speaker 4: these tied teats, which is also an anagram of the
Speaker 4: United States.
Speaker 3: But distract, have an extra s and be distracted.
Speaker 5: And with Governor Walls the other day saying is Minneapolis
Speaker 5: this century fort Sumter.
Speaker 4: And that's an idiotic thing to say. Other words, a
Speaker 4: civil war kicking off again. Only the stupidest of dodo
Speaker 4: heads would even propose that.
Speaker 3: Get mister Governor Sara.
Speaker 4: So it's just to look around some stories that are
Speaker 4: happening in various states and cities around the country.
Speaker 3: This one is unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Prince George's County, Maryland, there is a condominium community that
Speaker 4: the woke sanctuary ish. Uh, wouldn't I just say? Prince
Speaker 4: George's County has permitted a bum camp to spring up
Speaker 4: next to big giant junkie camp. Members of the homeless
Speaker 4: encampment in the condos backyard to constantly sneak in to
Speaker 4: use it as a crack house, a bathroom, an open
Speaker 4: air drug market. They steal wires out of the walls
Speaker 4: they're breaking into building, smoking crack in the stairwells. Tenants
Speaker 4: must navigate needles, species and sleeping body is Addicts nap
Speaker 4: half naked in the hallways.
Speaker 3: Needle species and bodies.
Speaker 4: Okay, and there's a bunch of junkies sleeping in the
Speaker 4: stairwell where these people live. The authorities got word that
Speaker 4: the condominium complex was getting damaged, so they came by
Speaker 4: to check it out and said, we're evicting everybody who
Speaker 4: lives in the condo complex. The junkie camp stays, that's
Speaker 4: the stuff for revolutions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. It'd be pretty minding be believable
Speaker 3: gang activity too. Let's take a look at San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Where the teachers about to are about to go on
Speaker 4: strike theoretically, and one of the reasons, uh is that.
Speaker 4: And it's funny. It takes many paragraphs in this woke
Speaker 4: news outlet to get to the fact.
Speaker 3: That among their demands is a.
Speaker 4: Proposal that the district adds sanctuary district policy language which
Speaker 4: says is that it is committed to protecting immigrant students
Speaker 4: and also a written commitment from the district to continue
Speaker 4: its current emergency shelter housing program for families. Teachers' unions
Speaker 4: are leftist political organizations right now. That's all they are.
Speaker 4: They happen to represent the teachers in their free time.
Speaker 3: But they're mostly leftist. Why are you involved in this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, yeah, got to be a sanctuary city.
Speaker 4: This one is merely amusing. I think we're are most
Speaker 4: of us familiar with the phenomenon that when it gets
Speaker 4: really cold in Florida, the iguanas fall out.
Speaker 3: Of the trees.
Speaker 5: Ah, because they're asleep or what happens there.
Speaker 3: They're cold blooded.
Speaker 5: Check it in sea, so they they pass out under
Speaker 5: a certain temperature.
Speaker 4: Yeah essentially, Yeah, they just they freeze up and are
Speaker 4: are super groggy. All of their function, including brain function,
Speaker 4: this slows down to practically stop, and they fall out
Speaker 4: of the true I.
Speaker 3: Wonder what that's happened.
Speaker 5: There was a I had an iguana fall right next
Speaker 5: to me in where was I, Florida over the summer,
Speaker 5: and I'm sitting in this big giant hanging chair under
Speaker 5: a awning.
Speaker 3: Thing at the beach and just as happy as could be.
Speaker 5: But there's big giant iguana right next to me, and
Speaker 5: I wonder if.
Speaker 3: That's what happened there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably so. But what I've forgotten about all this
Speaker 4: is iguanas are invasive. They don't want the pastards in Florida,
Speaker 4: and so they were paying paying premiums for people to
Speaker 4: round up as many as they could round people.
Speaker 3: Well, was that.
Speaker 4: Hit him with a hammer and put them in a sack,
Speaker 4: Just bag them up and bring them in they snuffed them.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 4: They reminded people don't stop inside to like have breakfast
Speaker 4: with your back of iguanas because they'll warm up and
Speaker 4: and chew on your hands. In warm temperatures. Iguanas are
Speaker 4: almost impossible to nab. You need either a gun or
Speaker 4: a fifteen foot long poll with an invisible lasso attached
Speaker 4: to it, according to this iguana expert.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, then the fact that this iguana fell right
Speaker 5: next to me and almost had to be that situation.
Speaker 5: It was early in the morning, so maybe it was
Speaker 5: just crumble.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the dipping temperatures great and a new opportunity
Speaker 4: last weekend, and this director of the iguana something or
Speaker 4: other decided to temporarily pivot to a quest he dubbed
Speaker 4: a Florida man Easter egg hunt for dinosaurs, which is
Speaker 4: a good name.
Speaker 3: Oh. Back to a teachers union.
Speaker 4: This is Raise Up Massachusetts, a lobbying group backed by
Speaker 4: the Massachusetts Teachers Association in the state's American Federation of
Speaker 4: Teachers branch, which filed the lawsuit last week to have
Speaker 4: a tax cut declared unconstitutional because the language on the
Speaker 4: ballot fails to inform petitions, signers and voters that the
Speaker 4: tax cut would apply to capital gains in addition to
Speaker 4: wages and interests. Ballot measures a response to a separate
Speaker 4: referendum referendum which was pushed by the unions during a
Speaker 4: low turnout vote that raised the state's income tax an
Speaker 4: additional four percent.
Speaker 5: So is the argument that tax cut, and then people
Speaker 5: think their taxes are going to be cut. But it's
Speaker 5: only for people who have capital gains and interest on investments,
Speaker 5: So it's only.
Speaker 4: For that's their argument, certain, But the Teachers' union's real
Speaker 4: purposes we don't want to give up any money. We
Speaker 4: want more taxes, higher taxes. And finally, this for two
Speaker 4: things for our Oregonian friends. First of all Portland area county.
Speaker 4: It's Moltnomah County, which is where Portland is launched a
Speaker 4: sanctuary fund providing taxpayer funded grants to assist illegal immigrants,
Speaker 4: part of a quarter million dollar package approved by Moltnomah
Speaker 4: County commissioners to help out illegals. Proud sanctuary jurisdiction. Finally,
Speaker 4: this and this is interesting. A taxpayer revolt could shake
Speaker 4: up Oregon politics. Nearly two hundred thousand Oregonians signed a
Speaker 4: petition to put a tax repeal proposal on the ballot.
Speaker 4: They did it entirely without professional signature gathers. It was
Speaker 4: just volunteers, and they delivered some one hundred and ninety
Speaker 4: three thousand signatures. It was a lump of coal and
Speaker 4: progressive stockings, writes Jeffyeger and The Wall Street Journal. The
Speaker 4: organizers of the repeal effort, weary of being taxed at
Speaker 4: some of the highest rates in the nation, gathered signatures
Speaker 4: in about a month to give the voters the chance
Speaker 4: to rescind a four point three billion dollar taxi. The Governor,
Speaker 4: Tina Kotek and her allies shoved through the legislature along
Speaker 4: party lines. The progressive paradise of Oregon seeing a taxpayer revolt.
Speaker 3: Which is just interesting.
Speaker 5: So that's an example if you can go too far
Speaker 5: for everybody went they went too far in San Francisco.
Speaker 5: They finally decided to hire somebody different to be mayor
Speaker 5: and get rid of the homeless people.
Speaker 3: Maybe they got too far.
Speaker 4: They went too far with Lee Liese drugs in Oregon
Speaker 4: and people decided that ain't working right now.
Speaker 3: Maybe the same thing with taxes. Yeah, there are so many.
Speaker 4: States California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois that are big red states
Speaker 4: full of reasonable people who are outnumbered by the wackadoodles
Speaker 4: of the big cities, who, unlike the people in the
Speaker 4: red districts, who don't give a crap, the people in
Speaker 4: the blue districts think everybody should live the way I
Speaker 4: want to live, and I'm going to pass lots of
Speaker 4: rules that demand they live like I want people to live.
Speaker 3: That's these untied states teats.
Speaker 4: These untied teats get to add an extra seats.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 7: Saint Clair is founding the Alarm after Elon Musk's Ai
Speaker 7: chatbock Grock generated and published sexualized deep fake images without
Speaker 7: her permission and shared them on X.
Speaker 8: How does that make you feel when you see your
Speaker 8: likeness being manipulated like that?
Speaker 1: The worst for me was seeing myself undressed, bent over,
Speaker 1: and then my toddler's backpack.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this whole thing. So there's a number
Speaker 3: of things going on here.
Speaker 5: First of all, the vocal fry of the person on
Speaker 5: CBS News talking to Ashley Saint Clair. Actually Saint Clair,
Speaker 5: if you don't know who she is, is one of
Speaker 5: the baby mamas of Elon Musk. Here's what's going to happen.
Speaker 5: If you're really, really rich and you have like a
Speaker 5: dozen women you paid to have kids with you by
Speaker 5: by odds and percentages, some of them are going to
Speaker 5: be crazy or annoying. Yes, And this particular one, she
Speaker 5: and Elon are in a battle over one year old.
Speaker 5: Elon says she's trying to transition the kid. So now
Speaker 5: she is a one year old, a one year old.
Speaker 4: O lord, and she's an activist lefty I guess yeah, assuming,
Speaker 4: And now.
Speaker 5: She's firing back at Elon with this to me stupid
Speaker 5: story of people out there created deep fakes of me naked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can do that with any woman on earth.
Speaker 5: So the fact that it's you bent over or whatever
Speaker 5: position it's in, whatever, And so she's contacted these various countries.
Speaker 3: Some countries have banned GROC because of deep fake sexual stuff.
Speaker 5: So she's fighting back against Elon on this front because
Speaker 5: he's trying to get full custody to their kid over
Speaker 5: the whole trans thing.
Speaker 3: That's what's going on here. This is like a you know,
Speaker 3: ugly divorce situation.
Speaker 9: Is what it is.
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Okay, while the issue still is interesting and important, I
Speaker 5: just don't think there's anything you can do about it
Speaker 5: that AI.
Speaker 3: There's there's gonna be AI out there somewhere.
Speaker 4: Even if you make this one or that one doesn't
Speaker 4: do it, there are plenty others that will that are
Speaker 4: going to be able to turn any woman's picture into
Speaker 4: her naked or having sex or whatever you want.
Speaker 7: It to be.
Speaker 3: And that sucks. But I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't I'm not a woman, so I don't know
Speaker 5: how I would react. But that's not me, that's my
Speaker 5: head on something else. So I don't know Katie's thoughts.
Speaker 6: I think before this whole AI thing became such a
Speaker 6: huge obvious situation, like a nude popping up would be like,
Speaker 6: oh my god. But now that it's I mean, it's
Speaker 6: so blatantly obvious at this point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've seen some of these where it is incredibly
Speaker 5: blatant obvious. I mean, the head's not the right size
Speaker 5: for the body, or facing the wrong direction or whatever.
Speaker 3: And how damn it are you by that?
Speaker 4: I think you've been right all along, Especially for girls
Speaker 4: in school or whatever. People are giggling about it, making
Speaker 4: jokes about it. That would be horrible, terrified, of course
Speaker 4: it would be, but especially among adults. Look, this sort
Speaker 4: of thing is going to be on the present, has
Speaker 4: nothing to do with you. It's jackasses doing you know
Speaker 4: what jackasses do. Move on with your life. There's it
Speaker 4: doesn't affect you if you don't let it affect you.
Speaker 5: Well, and the CBS to sit down with her and
Speaker 5: take her complaints seriously and pretend they don't know that
Speaker 5: they're in a battle over their child for custody. Come on,
Speaker 5: that's what are you doing here? Another angle? Well, here's
Speaker 5: Elon defending groc over this. First of all, Elon.
Speaker 8: Musk defiantly defending his AI chapbout Grock's ability to digitally
Speaker 8: undress images of real people. As countries around the world
Speaker 8: take action against the AI tool. After Groc's ex account
Speaker 8: was flooded with request to create deep fake, non consensual,
Speaker 8: nearly nude images of adults and in some cases children,
Speaker 8: EXA said it is taking action against those who prompted
Speaker 8: GROC to create sexually exploitative images of children and has
Speaker 8: since restricted image generation request on Groc's x account to
Speaker 8: paid subscribers, though users can still digitally undress images by
Speaker 8: chatting with GROC directly.
Speaker 3: So you have to be a paid subscriber, which I'm
Speaker 3: not to grok to do that.
Speaker 4: I'm not doing that, but and and so you can
Speaker 4: ban it, but it sounds like you can get around
Speaker 4: it by having a conversation for a while with GROC.
Speaker 3: I just I understand why people are outraged.
Speaker 4: I mean, if I was like a really, really gifted
Speaker 4: artist and I could draw brilliantly, I could draw a
Speaker 4: picture of Hillary Clinton naked, yeah, for instance, my longtime dream.
Speaker 4: Uh you know? And then where are we? Is that
Speaker 4: illegal now too? I don't You've been right all along.
Speaker 4: Just got to get used to this because there's no
Speaker 4: stopping it. Here's euros are completely unrealistic. They are here's
Speaker 4: one more clip from that story.
Speaker 8: Elon I Moust repeatedly attacked UK Prime Minister Cure starmer
Speaker 8: On X and reposted AI generated images of him in
Speaker 8: a bikini.
Speaker 3: Well, that's out of bounds. I don't know what his point.
Speaker 4: Well, Elon just likes trolling people, Yes, but he might
Speaker 4: have been here starers have putts and screws with the
Speaker 4: Internet too much.
Speaker 3: But he might.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and they have got a list of how
Speaker 5: many people they've put in jail over tweets and stuff
Speaker 5: like that. They out stretch any country in the world
Speaker 5: by far. On that in Great Britain. But Elon's point
Speaker 5: might have been here, you are in a bikini. How
Speaker 5: much damage was done? Everybody knows that's not you, right On?
Speaker 5: I mean, what's the what are you angry about?
Speaker 3: It would be a good point.
Speaker 4: Hey, I got a quick Supreme Court update, singing very
Speaker 4: quickly to clarify on the transgender athlete thing.
Speaker 3: Remember, the Supreme Court doesn't decide cases.
Speaker 4: It answers questions, that settles questions, and they intentionally took
Speaker 4: a case as to whether states may ban transgender athletes
Speaker 4: based on the equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. They
Speaker 4: did not take a case on weather States must ban
Speaker 4: trans athletes based on Title nine. So my dream of
Speaker 4: them saying please, that's why Title nine exists.
Speaker 3: Forget it, and that's why I think that will die.
Speaker 4: Blue States will just keep doing what they were doing
Speaker 4: right until we'll see different sort of case comes along.
Speaker 4: And then what about Heacock's up in Idaho. You gotta
Speaker 4: change your name if you're gonna get involved in this.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't kill and cutting any Armstrong, Jetty Show, the Armstrong.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong, the Armstrong and Getty Shark.
Speaker 4: Our school children are being indoctrinated in a lot of
Speaker 4: our government schools into far left ideology, radical gender theory, socialism,
Speaker 4: just a whole gamut of you know, anti racism, hating
Speaker 4: white people, blaming white just all of them. Every day
Speaker 4: they're taught that, and it's absolutick. I give you this
Speaker 4: from Winter's High School. This is a small rural community
Speaker 4: in northern California, very where the high school students walked
Speaker 4: out to hold an anti ice protest and a local
Speaker 4: mom was there, didn't love it and held up a
Speaker 4: Trump sign. Here's how that went. Her sign was torn down.
Speaker 4: She has pulled off the box. She was standing on
Speaker 4: madness and violence ensued. That's that's unbelievable.
Speaker 5: That's like the sound I expect out of kids if
Speaker 5: a school shooter is on campus.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Or since you said earlier, that is straight out
Speaker 4: of the cultural revolution in China where Mao turned the
Speaker 4: kids against their parents, which.
Speaker 3: Never made sense to me. I've read about it years ago.
Speaker 5: I've read about it a lot, and it was always like,
Speaker 5: is there something different about Chinese culture where people could
Speaker 5: get this angry and attack people in the streets who
Speaker 5: are wearing eyeglasses because they're intellectuals and drag them through
Speaker 5: the streets and beat them. And now I'm seeing that
Speaker 5: level of anger over things happen in my own country
Speaker 5: at very young agents.
Speaker 4: I think it was Lenin who said it was somebody
Speaker 4: like len And who said, give me one generation, I
Speaker 4: can rule the world, just like can you play the mind?
Speaker 3: One generation? Can you play? At the beginning of that again,
Speaker 3: it's just a listen to the fever pitch and how
Speaker 3: old are these kids? High schoolers.
Speaker 4: Howling for blood, screaming in hatred? And then this is
Speaker 4: middle school students in Seattle, Washington. These kids look to
Speaker 4: be maybe twelve, maybe twelve.
Speaker 2: We're all humans, no matter the race replaced.
Speaker 10: We should have to pick up our pace because a
Speaker 10: police officer is at our pace for a crazy white
Speaker 10: mus frises a miss.
Speaker 3: We're getting deported by ice. I can't understand what everyone.
Speaker 10: Kiss advice for mice. We must fight just for our writs.
Speaker 10: Look at the future and set our suns, guys. Quote
Speaker 10: our system is good. Quote our presentrautive book. Sure every
Speaker 10: time we see officer as be shore. Look, we shouldn't
Speaker 10: be judged on the way we look.
Speaker 3: We can shy. Who knows, Maybe we will continue.
Speaker 4: Us Yeah, f ice, they said in the middle of
Speaker 4: it in a middle school. They've been carefully taught, carefully taught.
Speaker 5: How many violently angry protests were you involved in as
Speaker 5: a child?
Speaker 3: H not any for me? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's absolutely sick, and we've let it happen under our watch.
Speaker 4: Uh and it's I think it may be the biggest
Speaker 4: problem in America right now. And nobody is certainly nobody
Speaker 4: in the lamestream media talks about it.
Speaker 3: But I wanted to get to this. This is so good.
Speaker 4: Sam Abrams is a professor at Sarah Lawrence College in Westchester.
Speaker 3: County just north of New York City.
Speaker 4: You can picture what that's like, high dollar, private liberal
Speaker 4: arts college. But he wrote an essay that's getting a
Speaker 4: lot of attention.
Speaker 3: I love it. I recently, Oh, that reminds me.
Speaker 4: There is another great essay by a professor who some
Speaker 4: cafia wearing down with Israel, up with the Palestinians. Folks
Speaker 4: interrupted a lecture he was doing, and he said, the
Speaker 4: more I treated them like angry little children, the more
Speaker 4: they listened, and by the end several of them were crying.
Speaker 4: He didn't teach to treat him as though they were
Speaker 4: big and scary. He treated them like little children.
Speaker 3: It was amazing.
Speaker 4: More on that another time, maybe on the podcast, but anyway,
Speaker 4: Professor Abram says, I recently walked into my politics class
Speaker 4: at Sarah Lawrence College prepared to discuss civic protests. The
Speaker 4: prompt was Minneapolis, where a recent immigration enforcement surge. We
Speaker 4: all know what I heard about that, and to cover
Speaker 4: basic principles, the right to protest, the obligation or remain nonviolent,
Speaker 4: the distinction between civil obedience and coercion. My students rejected
Speaker 4: the premise almost immediately. What are we supposed to do
Speaker 4: on ask hold signs while people are being shot. You're
Speaker 4: asking us to play by rules that only we follow.
Speaker 4: Another said they cited the Black Panthers, They invoked Stonewall,
Speaker 4: the famous gay up rising. They argued confidently that throughout
Speaker 4: American history, violence, or the credible thread of threat of it,
Speaker 4: was what forced change. Several endorsed armed confrontation with ice
Speaker 4: as both effective and ethically justified armed confrontation.
Speaker 5: Did he get use did he get a chance to
Speaker 5: say at any point you see if your side does it,
Speaker 5: though the other side does it, And next thing you know,
Speaker 5: you got.
Speaker 3: Precisely where he's going.
Speaker 4: And then the writer who's talking about this says, these
Speaker 4: views are not, of course, confined to students at Sarah Lawrence,
Speaker 4: but views widely shared it virtually all of America's prestigious universities.
Speaker 4: There are many reasons for this growing polarization, which has
Speaker 4: been documented extensively. Abram's correctly points to the outrageous rhetoric
Speaker 4: that has now become routine among Democratic politicians.
Speaker 3: Quote.
Speaker 4: Last month, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner issued a statement
Speaker 4: that would have been unthinkable from a major American law
Speaker 4: enforcement official a generation ago. Speaking about federal immigration agents,
Speaker 4: Krasner declared, quote, we talked about this. In a country
Speaker 4: of three hundred and fifty million, we outnumber them. If
Speaker 4: we have to hunt you down the way they hunted
Speaker 4: down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities, We
Speaker 4: will find you, we will achieve justice.
Speaker 3: The students Abram's notes are listening.
Speaker 4: What is clear from the article, however, is that these
Speaker 4: young leftists have a very distorted idea of what it
Speaker 4: means to choose violence over the rule of law.
Speaker 3: And who is this journalist ohe he uses a pen name.
Speaker 4: I'm hardly the first person to notice that many of
Speaker 4: the people interfering with ice are delusionally imagining that they
Speaker 4: can violently confront armed law enforcement agents without any consequences.
Speaker 4: At least two people have now lost their lives, but
Speaker 4: the lesson still is not sunk in. The communists and
Speaker 4: anarchists in the thirties and even the sixties were certainly
Speaker 4: depraved and destructive, but they at least possessed a certain
Speaker 4: realism or worldliness. They knew that violence is a two
Speaker 4: way street, that revolutions are bloody, and that they lead
Speaker 4: to death and destruction on both sides, thanks in part
Speaker 4: of the propaganda bubble created by social media. Many of
Speaker 4: today's erstwhile revolutionaries don't understand this. For them, violent rhetoric
Speaker 4: and even violent actions are a game in which their
Speaker 4: side at least is not supposed to get hurt.
Speaker 3: Right, they're LARPing. Clearly true.
Speaker 4: When ICE agents protect themselves with forst these naive radicals
Speaker 4: are shocked, as if the other team has somehow violated
Speaker 4: the rules.
Speaker 3: They do act like that.
Speaker 4: This may be the first generation of utopians who want
Speaker 4: to wage a revolution without spilling their lattes. And he says,
Speaker 4: if I were a guest speaker in Professor Abram's class,
Speaker 4: I might offer his students the following observations. You've made
Speaker 4: it clear that you reject civil disobedience, a venerable form
Speaker 4: of American protests that respects the law while seeking to
Speaker 4: change it in favor of violently repudiating the legitimate exercise
Speaker 4: of government authority. Trump ran on the issue of deportations.
Speaker 3: He won.
Speaker 4: One of the main immigration laws that ICE is enforcing
Speaker 4: has been on the books for decades, signed by Bill
Speaker 4: Clinton in ninety six. Joe Biden, who was President as
Speaker 4: recently as thirteen months ago, never sought to repeal any
Speaker 4: immigration laws. He simply ignored them before him, Barack Obama
Speaker 4: departed and deported hundreds of thousands of people per year.
Speaker 4: Where were your protests then, But rather than change the
Speaker 4: law you wished to nullify it? Is this really a
Speaker 4: precedent you want to set here? He really gets down
Speaker 4: to it. If Ice stands down in the face of
Speaker 4: this extortion, it will mean the victory of mob rule.
Speaker 4: It is hard to see how the rule of law
Speaker 4: will survive once both sides conclude that rejecting the results
Speaker 4: of an election justifies riots and violent resistance. Lodi on
Speaker 4: the left weren't placed with January sixth, For instance, let
Speaker 4: me ask you a question you may not have considered.
Speaker 4: Who is the law designed to protect the powerful and
Speaker 4: well armed don't need protection. The framers of the Constitution
Speaker 4: devised all those artful measures for managing our differences precisely
Speaker 4: overcome the age ul tyranny of the strong against the weak.
Speaker 4: Are you are students at an elite university in upscale
Speaker 4: Westchester County?
Speaker 3: How many of you have been in a fight, punched
Speaker 3: someone in the face.
Speaker 4: I would add been punched in the face fired a
Speaker 4: gun killed anything larger than a bug. Do you really
Speaker 4: want to start a fight with millions of NRA members
Speaker 4: living in the middle of the country, people who keep
Speaker 4: a rifle in their pickup and go hunting every weekend.
Speaker 4: These people, who may live one hundred miles from the
Speaker 4: nearest sheriff's office, can fend for themselves, can you. Your
Speaker 4: rhetoric about violence may push the country closer to rampant lawlessness.
Speaker 4: Perhaps that gives you a thrill of transgressive tittalization titilation rather,
Speaker 4: But if open conflict comes, it won't be a game
Speaker 4: for the amusement of children playing at war. A cynic
Speaker 4: who thinks you should face the consequences of your juvenile
Speaker 4: fantasies might paraphrase hl Menkin by saying, give the students
Speaker 4: what they want, good and hard.
Speaker 3: I won't be that cynic.
Speaker 4: Instead, I'll urge you to think carefully about what civil
Speaker 4: breakdown looks like.
Speaker 3: They see it.
Speaker 4: Soon enough in Zoron Mnbaumbi's New York, you may be
Speaker 4: wishing for more law enforcement, even from the federal government.
Speaker 3: Before too long.
Speaker 4: You're posturing about violence is thoughtless and dangerous. The rules
Speaker 4: of law exist to protect people like you, and when
Speaker 4: it breaks down, the people most likely to get hurt.
Speaker 3: Are you cut it out? That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, we need adols in the country and
Speaker 4: not Marxists running your local government school isn't They don't
Speaker 4: believe me. Check out what your school is actually teaching.
Speaker 4: You might be in the redest state in the Union.
Speaker 4: You might be in Utah. Your local school is a
Speaker 4: bull loe little uh Sapphire.
Speaker 3: It is interesting that the.
Speaker 4: Mostly well to do college crowd thinks that if the
Speaker 4: s really hits the fan, they'll be safe.
Speaker 3: When in the authorities will step in.
Speaker 4: When in the history of things going crazy, are the
Speaker 4: wealthy and privileged the safe ones when all.
Speaker 3: Order breaks down.
Speaker 4: I never thrown or received the punch, except a sucker
Speaker 4: punch when eleven of them surrounded for Jewish Still.
Speaker 3: Plus, you got the stuff.
Speaker 5: You got the cars and the houses and the money
Speaker 5: in the privilege, and if everything breaks down, people are
Speaker 5: gonna want your stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's where we get to that weird neo
Speaker 4: Marxist upscale what Matt Tybee famously called I keep it handy,
Speaker 4: upper class twits promoting revolution. They've learned self hatred, They
Speaker 4: hate their parents, they hate themselves, they hate their society,
Speaker 4: and and so they become Marxists to ease their guilt.
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show, The
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3: I wanted to tell you this, this is a very
Speaker 3: interesting Burger product.
Speaker 4: Like the CEO, how do you even attack this? Look
Speaker 4: at the suck at the seeds.
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you're online at all, you're aware that
Speaker 3: there was a.
Speaker 4: Minor flap of no importance a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 4: when the CEO of McDonald's put out a video with
Speaker 4: their new sandwich, their first launch of a big new
Speaker 4: product in many, many many years, the big arch and
Speaker 4: he looked like he had never eaten fast food before
Speaker 4: or how to eat fast food. He took a tiny
Speaker 4: nibble of it. It was quite mockable. And then the
Speaker 4: CEOs of every other company put out pretty good videos
Speaker 4: of them like appearing to really enjoy their products.
Speaker 3: And I mean every other company.
Speaker 4: I saw montage last night is like Carls Junior and
Speaker 4: Jack in the Box and the CEO from Costco eating
Speaker 4: a hot dog, and just everybody.
Speaker 5: The guy from McDonald's, one of the reasons. Maybe he
Speaker 5: took a nibble of it and put it back down.
Speaker 5: Is it's freaking awful? Oh No, And I love McDonald's.
Speaker 5: I love everything at McDonald's. I don't think that i've
Speaker 5: ever had anything Donald's I didn't love. Henry and I
Speaker 5: both ate part of it and went and ordered other food. No,
Speaker 5: honest to god, what was wrong with it?
Speaker 2: It was not.
Speaker 4: It was not even a situation where it's you know,
Speaker 4: I won't get it again, but I'll finish it. No,
Speaker 4: I'm not finishing this. I'm gonna go get two cheese burgers. Well,
Speaker 4: McDonald's burgers don't taste like burgers. Did this taste like
Speaker 4: a burger? And it's three off? Or no? I don't
Speaker 4: know what it tasted like. We couldn't nail it down.
Speaker 4: It just we just found it an unpleasant flavor.
Speaker 3: It starts with this. Notice this on the screen.
Speaker 5: And I only tried one just so I could talk
Speaker 5: about it on the show since I got so much attention.
Speaker 5: A Big Mac, which is Henry's go to, is five
Speaker 5: hundred and ninety calories, just the sandwich, not fries, drink,
Speaker 5: just the sandwich is five hundred nine ninety collies which
Speaker 5: is not horrible for.
Speaker 3: A sandwich if you put a bunch of stuff on it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if you're taking in a couple two tree
Speaker 4: thousand bucks or calories day grown boys or no, that's
Speaker 4: no big deal. The big arch is on thy twenty
Speaker 4: dang near double the calory. He's up a big mac
Speaker 4: and I don't know what they jam in there to
Speaker 4: double the calories of a big mac.
Speaker 3: But I did not enjoy it. Wow, funny.
Speaker 4: I just got a text from a good friend, do
Speaker 4: you know who said I'm looking forward to Jack's review
Speaker 4: because I had it and it was really good.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, no to each their own. But Henry and I, uh,
Speaker 3: neither one of us even finished the sandwich. Wow, that's
Speaker 3: a stunning development. Possible they made it wrong. You know,
Speaker 3: they might be new to making it.
Speaker 4: They did sell everything's prepackaged in McDonald's, though, I have
Speaker 4: no idea what's going on back there. Yeah, huh my
Speaker 4: McDonald's I go to because I'm in California. Or the
Speaker 4: minimum wage for fast food workers are twenty dollars. Pretty
Speaker 4: much you don't see a human being because they've driven
Speaker 4: human beings out of the McDonald's. Everything's a computer, touch
Speaker 4: screen and all that sort of stuff. Now, the response
Speaker 4: from my friend to the latest couple of sentences was,
Speaker 4: never mind, he's full of crap.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, oh wow, okay, super I don't eat fast
Speaker 4: food because I'm better than you, but nobody it's just
Speaker 4: out of curiosity. Nobody should ever eat a sandwich that's
Speaker 4: a thousand calories. I don't think that's big. It's a
Speaker 4: big dinner.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Does that have lettuce on it? So I can
Speaker 3: pretend I had a salad? Kind of swords, Yeah, there
Speaker 3: you go. Oh okay, sword yoga, and.
Speaker 9: We have the sword extended in front of us, creating
Speaker 9: that long line. Instead of having the edge of your
Speaker 9: sword facing up to the ceiling, let your palm open
Speaker 9: up towards the ceiling. This way, it creates a really
Speaker 9: clean straight line where you can always focus at the tip.
Speaker 3: Of your sword.
Speaker 4: Is the hot new yoga trend in New York City.
Speaker 4: You know, Oh, you got to have a pool. How
Speaker 4: long will this trend last? Sword yoga? If they don't
Speaker 4: actually use swords, Oh they do, they actually, Yeah, we
Speaker 4: were talking about snake yoga. That was Portland, right, Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 4: you gotta put sword yoga together with snake yoga be
Speaker 4: a bloody, barbaric.
Speaker 3: An yoga trend.
Speaker 6: The only yoga trend I've seen that's acceptable is a
Speaker 6: wiener dog puppy yoga.
Speaker 4: Oh God, you may get you may got me there.
Speaker 4: I'm into that, all right, I'm just gonna read this.
Speaker 4: There got ya Saturday. That's her name. Is all up
Speaker 4: in arms. But the no nonsense New Yorker isn't angry.
Speaker 4: She's empowered through sword yoga and a steel thirty inch
Speaker 4: double edged blade named Goldenaur is her preferred instrument of independence.
Speaker 4: It's a tool of self expression and freedom. The twenty
Speaker 4: five year old woman told the Post the sword is
Speaker 4: like a magic wand that gives me a sense of
Speaker 4: graceful power. When I hold it, I feel like a
Speaker 4: force of femininity, beauty and strength. Added the force to
Speaker 4: be reckoned with. One in the rising army of everyday
Speaker 4: Dynamo is leading the sword yoga fitness charge. It's a
Speaker 4: girl old powered movement named at getting in shape while
Speaker 4: getting their slice of the action.
Speaker 3: Oh, for God's sake, this whole thing makes me want
Speaker 3: to vomit.
Speaker 5: Well, I always have the same response to this sort
Speaker 5: of stuff have some kids, have some kids, you'll be
Speaker 5: too damned busy to think about any of this crap.
Speaker 5: You know why your parents didn't do this crap because
Speaker 5: they had kids. They had jobs and kids, and they're
Speaker 5: busy all the time. The young, affluent, single set with
Speaker 5: no children has too much time on their hands, and
Speaker 5: it brings us stuff like sword yoga.
Speaker 3: Interestingly, the next thing she says makes your point.
Speaker 4: She suffers from chronic panic attacks and Lawd's sword yoga
Speaker 4: is their firm foundation during trying times.
Speaker 3: Quote.
Speaker 4: When I feel an attack coming on, I rely on
Speaker 4: the training and breathing techniques. She says, Exactly, you're focusing
Speaker 4: on something other than yourself. It's funny that it reminds
Speaker 4: me of our discussion about a country that's that is
Speaker 4: obsessively inward looking, in navel gazing.
Speaker 3: It' make you insane.
Speaker 4: Human beings are not meant to be without responsibility. It's
Speaker 4: the worst thing you can do. And AI will bring
Speaker 4: you to all of us at someday. But she says, now,
Speaker 4: if I'm feeling anxious, I'll grab Golden Hour. That's the
Speaker 4: name of her sword jack is. You may call from
Speaker 4: six or seven sentences ago or a lightsaber and get
Speaker 4: into a sword yoga pose. It forces me to get
Speaker 4: out of that negative space and get present in my body.
Speaker 5: The number of people that are willing to say stuff
Speaker 5: like this out loud and don't think they're mockable.
Speaker 4: I've got to name all my golf clubs. My driver
Speaker 4: actually has a name. It's the God of Thunder, so
Speaker 4: you're actually a pretty good reason as well. It's got
Speaker 4: a It's a Japanese made product like most golf chaft are,
Speaker 4: and it has a of THEA got a Thunder on
Speaker 4: it in yes, I got I got to name all
Speaker 4: of them though. The seven iron, what do I call him?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Jimmy anoder and I'll have to think about it.
