Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: Cliff just announced a new ride share feature for teens.
Speaker 4: The company says that the new program will only match
Speaker 4: teen passengers with drivers who meet the highest standards, including
Speaker 4: background checks, safe driving records, and positive feedback history. Parents
Speaker 4: will be able to track their teens location live.
Speaker 1: Interesting, at least in theory, you're not allowed to get
Speaker 1: a ride for your kid, because I've run into that before.
Speaker 1: I've been successful a few times where the driver didn't
Speaker 1: pay any attention and picked up my kid and took
Speaker 1: them to school or whatever. And I've always thought, damn it,
Speaker 1: I wish you could do that, because be very handy
Speaker 1: for me sometimes, but I don't have any way to get
Speaker 1: my kid picked up or drop them off to send
Speaker 1: an uber over there. Like I said, I've done it
Speaker 1: a few times. But now, at least lift is going
Speaker 1: to have a system where you can. I think it's
Speaker 1: interesting that CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, I assume ABC is
Speaker 1: the same, are all leading with the disappearance of Spanna
Speaker 1: Guthrie's mom.
Speaker 3: Even though there.
Speaker 1: Is zero today, zero knew anything today, no no lead
Speaker 1: story on everything. This has got to be about the end,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. I mean, can you go tomorrow again leading
Speaker 1: with it with still nothing new?
Speaker 3: They will try.
Speaker 1: The latest is that Savannah Guthrie put out a new
Speaker 1: video saying it was our hour of desperation. But this
Speaker 1: video is different than the other ones. It wasn't pre written,
Speaker 1: she wasn't reading off a script, and it has more
Speaker 1: of a you know, we're grasping at Straw's last gasp
Speaker 1: sort of thing to it. Unfortunately, Yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: has to do with the daytime TV audience, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, could be are the sort of people
Speaker 1: who want this, no matter if their developments or not.
Speaker 1: It's kind of I don't know, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: just we don't do that. So we're just letting you know.
Speaker 1: There is no new development. So if you you know
Speaker 1: you're flipping around the channels to try to find Savannah
Speaker 1: Guthrie update coverage, there's nothing new today, at least as
Speaker 1: of this moment. Fair enough, So let's talk about law
Speaker 1: and order in public safety kind of in a general sense,
Speaker 1: We've got a handful of different stories applying to this,
Speaker 1: including this is absolutely fabulous. Sarah is Ger who writes
Speaker 1: for The Dispatch and she served in the first Trump
Speaker 1: administration Justice Department. Super smart, decent, moral, one of the
Speaker 1: few left. Anyway, she's talking about one of the hot,
Speaker 1: hot political stories of recent days.
Speaker 5: Well, once again we're seeing both parties switch sides. Did
Speaker 5: it actually bend the Democrat party that had been in
Speaker 5: favor of nationalizing voter registration for instance, and having the
Speaker 5: federal government play a bigger role in our elections? And
Speaker 5: it was Republicans who said, no, it's actually far more
Speaker 5: secure to have fifty separate elections. And so once again
Speaker 5: we see both sides switch. Democrats are discovering federalism and why,
Speaker 5: in fact, when you have a president that you don't
Speaker 5: like and you don't have control over which president's going
Speaker 5: to win, you may actually want states to be in control.
Speaker 5: And it's Republicans now, who seem to have a very
Speaker 5: short memory and attention span, who say, why don't we
Speaker 5: nationalize the election for three years and then definitely we'll
Speaker 5: never lose another presidential election.
Speaker 1: Again, this happens so much more often than the average
Speaker 1: voter realizes because you're you know, you got your life
Speaker 1: and you're not paying close enough attention that the parties
Speaker 1: completely trade playbooks on different issues depending on.
Speaker 3: Whether or not they're in power.
Speaker 1: As I often say, they meet at midnight under the
Speaker 1: Washington Monument and swap their playbooks and it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the way the game is played. But it's just
Speaker 1: not a game I have any interest in. It's just
Speaker 1: discouraging speaking, which I have a new character to pay
Speaker 1: attention to, and that would be Sheriff McFadden. What's his
Speaker 1: first name, Gary McFadden, of Mecklenburg County. That is where Charlotte,
Speaker 1: North Carolina is. If you've never been to Charlotte, it's
Speaker 1: gone from a sleepy, kind of medium sized city thirty
Speaker 1: forty years ago when we lived there. When was that
Speaker 1: thirty years ago? To a gigantic metroplex. It's one of
Speaker 1: the most astounding transformations I've ever seen. Anyway, they have
Speaker 1: a popularly elected sheriff, and this McFadden guy is one
Speaker 1: of your local big time black community in Charlotte movers
Speaker 1: and shakers and is popular and even though he's got
Speaker 1: really no credentials, he got elected sheriff.
Speaker 3: Things have not gone terribly well.
Speaker 1: And they the North Carolina Legislature dragged the sheriff and
Speaker 1: the mayor of Charlotte and the district attorney who's a progressive,
Speaker 1: into legislature and answer questions about that murder of that
Speaker 1: poor Ukrainian woman on the train and other law and
Speaker 1: order problems.
Speaker 3: And we'll start.
Speaker 1: This is a representative Brendan Jones in fifty Michael, to
Speaker 1: give you a feel of the flavor pature.
Speaker 2: You called here today for one reason.
Speaker 6: And competence and competence in the law, and competence of
Speaker 6: running jails, and competence of handling crime, and most notably,
Speaker 6: and competence and keeping the citizens of Mecklenburg County safe.
Speaker 6: That is to be frank completely unacceptable. I'm not going
Speaker 6: to beat around the bush. This hearing is not going
Speaker 6: to be butterflies and roses. This body is going to
Speaker 6: get to the bottom of this crisis today.
Speaker 3: Butterflies and roses, you say, sounds like a nice time.
Speaker 3: Oh it's not going to be. Oh durn it. Okay.
Speaker 1: So here's state repped Allen Chesster talking to Sheriff McFadden.
Speaker 3: I think it kind of explains itself.
Speaker 2: Branch of government do you operate under.
Speaker 7: Mecinborough County?
Speaker 2: What branch of government do you operate under?
Speaker 7: Sheriff? Constitution of the United States?
Speaker 8: Correct, that is what establishes the branches of government. I'm
Speaker 8: asking which branch you fall under?
Speaker 7: Beckhamburg County, Mduley Sworn Meckinberg County Sheriff. We asked it
Speaker 7: to the people of Mecinburg County.
Speaker 8: This was not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Are
Speaker 8: you aware how many branches of government there are?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, for the sake of debate.
Speaker 8: I will move on and say there are three branches
Speaker 8: of government, legislative, executive, Judicial. Of those three, which do
Speaker 8: you believe you fall under?
Speaker 7: I believe I fall under the last one.
Speaker 2: Would you say it to him?
Speaker 7: Judicial?
Speaker 2: Okay, you are incorrect, sir, you fall under the executive.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: That's kind of amusing and amazing. Was that designed to
Speaker 1: be a gotcha do you think?
Speaker 3: Or no? Well?
Speaker 1: No, as he said, I did not expect to get
Speaker 1: hung up here. He was planning to go into the
Speaker 1: functioning executive branch in the way it's supposed to work,
Speaker 1: and that was just like a foundational question. I think
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he didn't have suspicions that this guy
Speaker 1: couldn't answer the question, because he could have just have
Speaker 1: just said, you are in the executive branch. Your job
Speaker 1: is to execute the laws of this county and then
Speaker 1: made his point.
Speaker 3: He didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he wanted to expose him. He wanted
Speaker 1: to expose him as an ignoran atmus It seems pretty
Speaker 1: clear to me, right well, and I don't you seem
Speaker 1: to be hinting that that sturdy pool. No, well, I
Speaker 1: don't like gotcha questions in general. Just to make a point,
Speaker 1: but the guy should be able to answer the question.
Speaker 3: How many branches are there in a government? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Anyway, So this guy's been accused of misconduct and extortion,
Speaker 1: also mismanaging resources, including directing on duty deputies to drive
Speaker 1: people to bars and strip clubs in county owned vehicles.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 1: The chairman asked yes or no if deputies ever drove
Speaker 1: people to bars and strip clubs on duty. McFadden declined
Speaker 1: to respond, even hypothetically. He also refused to come in
Speaker 1: on inmate deaths, citing lawsuits. At one point, he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: people die in the jail people die in hospitals too.
Speaker 1: State Republicans have begun referring to the sheriff as not
Speaker 1: my fault McFadden, because he never takes accountability. There's some
Speaker 1: more good stuff. I hate to traffic in stereotypes. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I hate to traffic in them. Sometimes I like to
Speaker 1: traffic in them. But in this case, I hate to
Speaker 1: traffic in them. That's remark and we appreciate it. The
Speaker 1: most racist person I've ever known in my life, and
Speaker 1: I have not known very many people that were out
Speaker 1: and out racists. I don't know if they if racists
Speaker 1: are just really good at hiding it, like they figure
Speaker 1: out whether you're, you know, one of them or not
Speaker 1: and keep it to themselves or whatever. But the most
Speaker 1: racist person I've ever known in my life was a
Speaker 1: former cop from Mecklenburg County when we lived in Charlotte.
Speaker 1: And it was shocking to me how racist that guy was.
Speaker 1: And he was a guy that carried a gun and
Speaker 1: then enforced the law using a finger quotes because I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, but it was it.
Speaker 3: Was amazing to me.
Speaker 1: It was like, I mean, it played into the stereotype,
Speaker 1: like if it was in a you know a TV
Speaker 1: show you would think, Okay, you've gone a little too
Speaker 1: far with the white Southern racist cop.
Speaker 3: But this guy was a white Southern racist cop. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: It's troubling. And does that relate to this story somehow else?
Speaker 3: Just a tale from the past.
Speaker 1: It's just a tale from the past from that area,
Speaker 1: just Mecklenburg County.
Speaker 3: I was I was shocked by that.
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know that it existed at that
Speaker 1: level among cops.
Speaker 3: And this was in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Right right swing, as they used to say, it's three
Speaker 1: o'clock drive twenty miles out of town and it's nineteen sixty.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, certain parts of the South, there's some truth to that.
Speaker 1: So although this guy's an incompetent boob who shouldn't be sheriff, ever,
Speaker 1: regardless of the color of his skin, that was some
Speaker 1: Joba answering questions. Yeah, yeah, terrible. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: start paying attention to me. He's quite the clown. Rough

Speaker 3: How many races like known racists do you think you've
Speaker 3: known in your art. Do you know? Do you like
Speaker 3: you know?
Speaker 1: I only know two that were out loud, would would
Speaker 1: talk about things. I mean, they were just declaring they
Speaker 1: were racist. I've only known two in my whole life,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm sure there were more, but they were
Speaker 1: keeping it quieter. But it's not as prevalent as it
Speaker 1: is portrayed. I'd prefer the term bigot, okay, for reasons
Speaker 1: that are picky, but I've known a couple of white people.
Speaker 1: I have known a couple of black people, a couple
Speaker 1: of Asian people. You opened up a different category I
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about, and a handful of people who are
Speaker 1: flaming anti Semites, which is as bigotry, as ugly as
Speaker 1: exists on earth. It's funny you opened up a category that,
Speaker 1: for some reason I hadn't thought about it. I was only
Speaker 1: picturing white people I've known. I've known plenty of people
Speaker 1: of other races who are racist, but like, in my mind,
Speaker 1: it doesn't count because that's kind of what we're told
Speaker 1: in our culture, that you can be racist if you're
Speaker 1: Black against Mexicans, or if you're Mexican against Guatemalans or whatever,
Speaker 1: which wouldn't be racial, but it's just you know, talk
Speaker 1: to a Japanese person about Chinese people or vice versa,
Speaker 1: or talk to a Filipino about any of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny that, even in my own mind, knowing how
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be a distinction, I didn't count that crowd,
Speaker 1: which I've known many more than two.
Speaker 3: Who would think you need a slapping out loud.
Speaker 1: Say oh no, you can't trust blank or a blank
Speaker 1: or family moved in, you know, lock your stuff up
Speaker 1: or whatever. Right, that's something that is really interesting. Any
Speaker 1: thoughts on that text line? Four one five two nine
Speaker 1: f KFTC.
Speaker 9: I gotta tell you what a weekend Super Bowl Sindy,
Speaker 9: And what a game?
Speaker 7: What a game it was.
Speaker 9: Man, if you like high scoring contest with the outcomes
Speaker 9: of doubt till the final, suspenseful climactic seconds, this was not.
Speaker 7: The game for.
Speaker 2: Slow grinding.
Speaker 9: It merely took all the fun out of watching the
Speaker 9: Patriots loose.
Speaker 1: So John Stewart got into the whole bad Bunny thing
Speaker 1: at one point on the Daily Show last night, and
Speaker 1: he said, so, you know, everybody does nut picking on
Speaker 1: this stuff.
Speaker 3: I suppose we do it. Everybody does it.
Speaker 1: You pick somebody that represents a point of view that
Speaker 1: you can easily attack and then you play that or whatever.
Speaker 1: But so he played a clip of someone saying on
Speaker 1: Fox or something that the halftime show should bring people together,
Speaker 1: and John Stewart's attack on that was, since when does
Speaker 1: the halftime act have the requirement of bringing people together?
Speaker 1: That's not their job. They don't have to bring people together.
Speaker 1: There's no law that the halftime show has to bring
Speaker 1: people together, which is true enough, But since when do
Speaker 1: I have to enjoy entertainment in a foreign language? That's
Speaker 1: what I don't get why I in the constant argument
Speaker 1: of the NFL is trying to reach out to the Hispanica.
Speaker 3: I get it, I know, I'm I understand.
Speaker 1: Completely that they're trying to bring in a giant, different
Speaker 1: audience from other countries.
Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it. How
Speaker 3: can those things be so complicated to people?
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I have to sit there and pretend
Speaker 1: that I like getting a history lesson in Puerto Rican
Speaker 1: in a language.
Speaker 3: I don't understand why I had no idea what was
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 1: It's just a beautiful example of people talking past each other.
Speaker 1: John Stewart acted as if the issue was something completely
Speaker 1: different than it was and lectured you that you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be worried about something you you weren't worried about.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not offended.
Speaker 1: I just it was. You know, it's forty five minutes
Speaker 1: in between the quarters where there was nothing for me,
Speaker 1: and they made no effort whatsoever to give me anything.
Speaker 1: To me, the big difference was the setup to the
Speaker 1: musical play, whatever history lesson was. The print they put
Speaker 1: on the screen had no subtitles, So you didn't even
Speaker 1: make the slightest effort to get me interested in what
Speaker 1: was going on there, just told me the setting is
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, seventies, sugarcane field.
Speaker 3: Even that I might have thought, okay.
Speaker 1: Then tried to figure out what was going on through
Speaker 1: the acting and the music or whatever.
Speaker 3: But you didn't give me anything.
Speaker 1: The idea that the question was never even asked, what
Speaker 1: do we do for the English speakers stretches the credulity,
Speaker 1: and my credulity doesn't have a lot of stretching it.
Speaker 1: It hurts I just so they had to have considered
Speaker 1: that question and said, no, let's not do anything.
Speaker 3: I've been saying the same thing forever.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard anybody else say there's
Speaker 1: nothing unnatural about wanting the language in the town you
Speaker 1: live in to stay the language you speak.
Speaker 3: That doesn't make you a bad person.
Speaker 1: That's the most common that's going to be common throughout
Speaker 1: human history, that wherever you are on planet Earth, that
Speaker 1: people would like the culture that in their town to
Speaker 1: stay the same, not be radically changed. You can make
Speaker 1: all the arguments about multiculture, those bringing in immigrants in
Speaker 1: the workforce, and bob all these things, but you still
Speaker 1: can't get past it's just human nature too. I like
Speaker 1: it better when my entertainment isn't an language.
Speaker 3: I get Yeah, the I.
Speaker 1: Think it's another great example of if you're on the
Speaker 1: right side of the aisle, you spend your entire life
Speaker 1: hearing the messages of the left and their points of
Speaker 1: view and theories and policies and stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: you develop arguments for why you think they're unwise or
Speaker 1: they ought to be changed or whatever. The John Stewarts
Speaker 1: of the world never even hear what you just said.
Speaker 1: They are never exposed to conservative thought. So again, he's
Speaker 1: answering a question that hasn't been asked.
Speaker 3: Why didn't it bring us together?
Speaker 1: I haven't heard a single person right of center or
Speaker 1: center say that about the super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 3: It was what you just said.
Speaker 1: So about one hundred and thirty million people on average
Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowl. That is an insanely large crowd
Speaker 1: by today's standards, where a hit TV show gets two million.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just amazing, Son wonder advertisers want to
Speaker 1: be on there. And Bad Bunny at halftime is about
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million people watching Bad Bunny at halftime.
Speaker 3: One hundred and forty million. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10: Do you remember the Algerian box through went gold at
Speaker 10: the twenty twenty four Olympics. While beating up women, everybody
Speaker 10: could see that she was clearly a he, and a
Speaker 10: surprise to no one, the boxer finally admitted he has
Speaker 10: male chromosomes. In fact, his natural testosterone is so high
Speaker 10: he uses hormone treatments to lower it for competition.
Speaker 3: It was from the summer Olympics.
Speaker 1: If you remember that he beat the hell out of
Speaker 1: a couple of women, and like a couple of women,
Speaker 1: at least one quit like got punched once was like, no,
Speaker 1: I ain't fighting this guy gonna kill me right as
Speaker 1: your summer Olympics. He got another transathlete thing in a second.
Speaker 1: But speaking Olympics, I was just watching some highlights. So
Speaker 1: for some reason, on the TV for about forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: people decided showing Lindsey Vaughan crashing was not cool. They
Speaker 1: cut away from it on NBC when it happened, and
Speaker 1: then I didn't see any replays of it, just still pictures.
Speaker 1: But then somebody decided it's okay. Now I've seen it
Speaker 1: a thousand times in the last twenty four hours, and
Speaker 1: now it's just run on a loop for crashing. It's
Speaker 1: funny how that works. It's like somebody had I don't
Speaker 1: know who went first, and everybody thinking they're showing it,
Speaker 1: so we got to show it. So now now we're
Speaker 1: showing our crash. Yeah, sensationalism won out over scruples.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess you don't want to watch it. I actually
Speaker 1: haven't seen it and don't expect to. No, it's not
Speaker 1: a big deal. It's just interesting that they held back
Speaker 1: on it for a couple of days and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Okay, we're all gonna show it like
Speaker 1: over and over again. Oh and they just showed the
Speaker 1: highlights from curling, which is it's just so, I'm fine
Speaker 1: with curling. I don't I don't care what's in the
Speaker 1: Olympics or what's not. But this is just an odd one.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna have curling, could you have
Speaker 1: bottle flipping? Or who can do a Rubik's cube the
Speaker 1: fastest or all kinds of things. It's arguably somewhat athletic.
Speaker 1: It's physical. It's the PBR, the paps, flu Rivenu sports people.
Speaker 1: I think mostly like it ironically. Yeah, I'm sure it's fun.
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of Molson's. I'm hanging out with
Speaker 1: my buddies in northern Wisconsin or whatever.
Speaker 3: Let's get it on. Sure, why not?
Speaker 1: Speaking of the trans athlete thing, though, you got a
Speaker 1: transgender California high schooler who snatched up first place for
Speaker 1: the girls this past Saturday, just the other day at
Speaker 1: the Winter Championships for high school in California. It was
Speaker 1: in Riverside County. Ad to go, sir, wait to beat
Speaker 1: up on those girls.
Speaker 3: Nice job.
Speaker 1: It is a child, sixteen year old ab hernandez A
Speaker 1: senior in high school.
Speaker 3: The same dude.
Speaker 1: Who's been whipping up on girls in all sorts of well,
Speaker 1: really recorded a jump of thirty nine feet ten inches,
Speaker 1: beating out the second place person, who was a girl.
Speaker 1: Hernandez also took home second place in a different competition,
Speaker 1: so a girl actually beat him Hernandez. Uh the other thing.
Speaker 1: But here, this is the quote I want to get to.
Speaker 1: I get a lot of hate comments, but I don't
Speaker 1: really care. I'm a sixteen year old girl with a
Speaker 1: strong attitude, a strong attitude, and a penis. Let's see,
Speaker 1: you've got a strong attitude and testicles is the thing?
Speaker 1: Do you really retulations on your attitude? It's a child,
Speaker 1: But do you really think I'm gonna listen? Don't don't
Speaker 1: don't don't. Don't take the attitude. That's not helping your cause.
Speaker 1: Just let me tell you, as a pr move it
Speaker 1: is not taking it's not helping you to take that attitude.
Speaker 1: Go with uh. I just love competition, and it was
Speaker 1: really fun. And you know, whoever you be done, Jenny
Speaker 1: really you know came close.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: She was tough competition. Go with that at this.
Speaker 1: Sort of view, if you want fewer people to hate
Speaker 1: you rather than people could hate me all they want.
Speaker 3: I don't care. That ain't gonna work. Yeah, because we
Speaker 3: all think it's really weird. I don't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't use that word. But yeah, competing sports part right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny. I kind of view it the other way.
Speaker 1: But the mouthys sixteen year old. Of course, he's a
Speaker 1: mouthy sixteen year old. They all are, and it's fine,
Speaker 1: so is I. So he's not good at PR. But no,
Speaker 1: you can't play against girls. No, that's utterly out of
Speaker 1: the question. You would have to be a crazy person
Speaker 1: to think that's okay. You know, I think I changed
Speaker 1: my mind, Michael. So, Michael played me a clip from
Speaker 1: Guttfeld last night. Who is this talking? Is this Patrese
Speaker 1: Tyros Tyros? I'm sorry, Patrese Tyros talking about the boxer
Speaker 1: who admitted to being a guy.
Speaker 3: This is kind of funny.
Speaker 11: I believe the girl, the young lady was from Italy
Speaker 11: when she got hit with one jab and she quit,
Speaker 11: yeah because she knew. He comes out and says, well, yeah,
Speaker 11: I know I have I'm a man and I have this.
Speaker 3: So therefore it was premeditated.
Speaker 11: So why is this person one not charged with assault two,
Speaker 11: banned from any competition and for life worse than Pete Rose.
Speaker 11: Pet Rose didn't dress by a woman going to softball
Speaker 11: league and steal all their records and take the place
Speaker 11: of a young woman who might want to compete. Took
Speaker 11: gold medal dreams away from at least three people, because
Speaker 11: don't forget about the one who finished fourth. They're no
Speaker 11: longer bronze, They're no longer maybe their dreams are over,
Speaker 11: maybe their sponsorships are gone. He knew what he was doing,
Speaker 11: so take his medals, ban him from any competition.
Speaker 3: First of all, that is true.
Speaker 1: The person in places fourth and all these things might
Speaker 1: be the one that gets screwed the most. Although the
Speaker 1: first place is a big deal because you know, scholarships
Speaker 1: and college teams and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But I see everybody who.
Speaker 1: Got punched in the face by a man over and
Speaker 1: over suffered a bit too. Yeah right, I was actually
Speaker 1: thinking of the high school truck girls track again. But
Speaker 1: you know, the person that doesn't get to be the
Speaker 1: gold medal winner and stand on the podium after all
Speaker 1: that work, because you actually were legitimately technically in every
Speaker 1: way the best girl, but you didn't get the gold medal.
Speaker 1: But the Pete Rose thing is kind of funny. Pete
Speaker 1: Rose would have accidentally dominated women's softball, There's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah yeah, can you picture somebody's trying to
Speaker 1: block the plate with the Charlene Hustle Hellan coming down
Speaker 1: the third baseline head first, kidding, Yeah, yeah, wow, wow, beautiful.
Speaker 3: Oh you know that reminds me.
Speaker 1: Quoting the great Nelly Bowls of the Free Press, she
Speaker 1: said it can be set a million times and still
Speaker 1: not be said enough. Abigail Schreier, the dogged reporter who
Speaker 1: wrote the book Irreversible Damage, was right about the risks
Speaker 1: and youth gender transition when it was incredibly socially inconvenient
Speaker 1: to say so. On Tuesday, we reported this, the American
Speaker 1: Society of Plastic Surgeons announced a new guidance recommending the
Speaker 1: gender transition surgeries be reserved for those nineteen years old
Speaker 1: and older. There's a lot more to it than that.
Speaker 1: They said, Look, kids can't consent to this. Much of
Speaker 1: the coverage on this represents or presents the guidance as
Speaker 1: the result of some sort of right wing backlash, as
Speaker 1: if giving double mastectomies to kids was a long practiced
Speaker 1: medically necessary procedure that id logs are trying to take away.
Speaker 1: It isn't, write Snelle. And in fact, more people are
Speaker 1: coming out to say that they feel they'd been medically
Speaker 1: ill advised. Oh and she mentions that on Wednesday, the
Speaker 1: American Medical Association took a similar position. Here's the headline
Speaker 1: in the New York Times that I did not see
Speaker 1: and have not heard repeated anywhere. Doctor's group endorses restrictions
Speaker 1: on general related surgery for minors. The AMA's announcement followed
Speaker 1: a similar recommendation from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Speaker 1: The AMA said these procedures should be deferred until patients
Speaker 1: reach adulthood.
Speaker 3: No way can you do them on kids.
Speaker 1: The insanity, the ice flow of insanity is finally starting
Speaker 1: to break.
Speaker 3: You're right, I hadn't heard that either. That should be
Speaker 3: a news story.
Speaker 1: And then, of course we heard about that sixteen year
Speaker 1: old who sued and won for malpractice because counselors had
Speaker 1: browbeaten her and push her into having her healthy breasts removed.
Speaker 1: And moments later she realized, oh my god, what have
Speaker 1: they done to me? Absolutely sick? And then and in
Speaker 1: a lighter but related not I love this from Nelly.
Speaker 1: They were talking about stolen Land in a Senate Antitrust hearing.
Speaker 1: Okay and Ted Cruz, I'm skipping around here. Oh I'm
Speaker 1: sorry Ted. A different guy, Ted Sarandos said one simple question,
Speaker 1: are we right now on stolen land? I'm sorry, Sarandos
Speaker 1: is the guy who's being questioned. He said he has
Speaker 1: no idea of the history of this land that we're
Speaker 1: sitting on today, no idea of the history of this land. Really,
Speaker 1: come on, it's Washington, d C. You never saw Hamilton, Ted,
Speaker 1: come on, you know this. We all did those ap
Speaker 1: US history note cards before the hearing. This whole well,
Speaker 1: I'm not an acredit at expert, so I couldn't possibly
Speaker 1: weigh in here. Stick reminds me of when Senator Marshall
Speaker 1: Blackburn asked Katanji Brown Jackson during the Supreme Court confirmation
Speaker 1: hearing to define woman, and the judge said, not in
Speaker 1: this context.
Speaker 3: I'm not a biologist. Not a biologist.
Speaker 1: Next time someone asked me to sign a document, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to let them know that I'm not a notary,
Speaker 1: that I can't make a follow up appointment because I'm
Speaker 1: not a. Technically, I'm not technically certified in appointment scheduling,
Speaker 1: make dinner. Sorry, I don't have a diploma from the
Speaker 1: court on blue walk the dog? Do I look like
Speaker 1: a veterinarian to you? Experts are the only ones who
Speaker 1: can do anything or answer any questions about a subject.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: That is pretty good. Bastards, So you know they're beyond bastards.
Speaker 1: They're sick. Joseph Mengel alike experimentals on children. End of
Speaker 1: screed coming up the Washington Post went to hell and
Speaker 1: deserves to be in the straits. It's in learned commentators
Speaker 1: weighing in with the perspective you're never gonna hear on
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. Also, people are getting old Timey's sailors
Speaker 1: diseases because of GLPS, weight loss drugs.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, scabies, U scurvy? Oh no, oh, and I
Speaker 3: need to talk about me. I want to talk about measles.
Speaker 3: It's making the rounds in the United It's another medical
Speaker 3: throwback Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from somebody who has no idea what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: Saman If you don't want that information, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're looking for.
Speaker 3: Every day, it's tempting. I'm more on the way stay here.
Speaker 11: Chicken ba chicken banana, chicken ba banana, chickenana, chicken.
Speaker 3: Chicken.
Speaker 1: So this is the skibbity toilet of twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: in case you were wondering, uh, for young people, chicken banana.
Speaker 1: So that's the hot thing right now, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be any more than that. There's no more too.
Speaker 1: It's like six seven. There's nothing more to it than that.
Speaker 1: That's the whole thing, right It's a reference I'm familiar with.
Speaker 7: Just that's it.
Speaker 1: Just just yeah, it's just chicken banana, over and over again.
Speaker 1: And oh you've heard chicken banana too, And then you
Speaker 1: laugh together and you feel closer, which is a nice,
Speaker 1: a nice feeling, And we don't have many of those anymore.
Speaker 1: So I guess now we're really really desperate to have
Speaker 1: things that we can feel that we have in common.
Speaker 1: So the six seven of right now is chicken banana.
Speaker 1: Can I hear a little bit reminded? Oh sure, I
Speaker 1: was enjoying it. Sorry, it's over when it ended.
Speaker 3: It is catchy chicken. It's not very I'm remind.
Speaker 1: I agree with you about the shared experience thing but
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of a starving prisoner crawling around in his
Speaker 1: cell trying to catch a cockroach to eat it. It's
Speaker 1: only a starving person who would eat this. Yes, their
Speaker 1: shared experience. You had a reaction to that, Katie, Do
Speaker 1: you know something about chicken banana or yeah?
Speaker 3: That it annoys the hell out of me.
Speaker 1: You are you the one that brought us that clip?
Speaker 1: Are you the one that first came across it? Now
Speaker 1: that I heard one of my kids say chicken banana
Speaker 1: the other day, but no, that was a gift from Michael.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling.
Speaker 3: How did you become aware of chicken banana? How did
Speaker 3: I become aware? Just super hip? Your cats are into it. No, No,
Speaker 3: it was just.
Speaker 4: On the on the website and they said this is
Speaker 4: the big thing for young people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess it is. There you go just
Speaker 3: trying to keep up. You know, I can't keep it. It
Speaker 3: helps to know.
Speaker 1: I like knowing, so that if I hear six seven
Speaker 1: and okay, okay, I know it is and I'm not
Speaker 1: just completely confused. So now chicken banana, right, we all know,
Speaker 1: we all know. So I was a little surprised to
Speaker 1: see Serena Williams pop up in a Super Bowl ad
Speaker 1: for a GOP weight loss thing. I didn't drill down
Speaker 1: on that, but was she did she gain some weight
Speaker 1: when she stopped playing and after she had a kid
Speaker 1: or whatever, and she went on jail beam.
Speaker 3: Kind of surprised by that for.
Speaker 1: A checking my notes on Serena Williams weight, I don't
Speaker 1: have much. Pretty surprised though, like a just recently retired
Speaker 1: world class athlete needed a GOP kind of surprising to me.
Speaker 1: I didn't pay attention to the whole ad, but came
Speaker 1: across this. Golps are all the rage right now. You
Speaker 1: know that's your euro zepic, your goo V, your monjaro,
Speaker 1: whatever you're taking to try to lose weight, and it
Speaker 1: sounds pretty appealing. Some people have some side effects, but
Speaker 1: people are getting an old timey sailor's disease because of this,
Speaker 1: many many patients have been functionally malnourished, developing vitamin deficiencies
Speaker 1: like scurvy.
Speaker 3: What is this as the olden days?
Speaker 1: You're not eating here as much. If you eat pretty
Speaker 1: much any diet, which is amazing. You can even eat
Speaker 1: a crappy diet you'll still take in enough of the
Speaker 1: nutrients you need to get by. Isn't that amazing? I mean,
Speaker 1: just you can live on like McDonald's and Dorito's and
Speaker 1: cinnamon rolls and stuff like that and get you still
Speaker 1: get all of those nutrients, enough of those nutrients to
Speaker 1: live your life. It's one of the reasons that vitamins
Speaker 1: to a certain extent are a scam. But it doesn't hurt, unhurt,
Speaker 1: Probably just gonna peet out. But people aren't eating very
Speaker 1: much at all on a lot of these gops, so
Speaker 1: they aren't taking any very much food, period, and so
Speaker 1: they aren't getting enough of certain vitamins and they're getting scurvy. Wow,
Speaker 1: not eating Remember scurvy and rickets or what we learned
Speaker 1: about as kids from your old timey Sailor's disease, Our
Speaker 1: original air names malnutrition malnutrition that diseases scurvy and rickets
Speaker 1: in the morning. We thought it'd be funny, and nobody
Speaker 1: liked it. No, it was in retrospect, it was a
Speaker 1: bad idea. According to this doctor, a reduction in body
Speaker 1: weight does not automatically mean the person is well nourished
Speaker 1: or healthy. Nutrition plays a critical role in health. Thank yeah,
Speaker 1: we know signed the starving. We noticed that, Wow, but
Speaker 1: nobody saw a big return of scurvy, which you used
Speaker 1: to get as a sailor because you're out on the
Speaker 1: sea and you're eating I don't know what you're eating, rats, fish,
Speaker 1: ratfish rats.
Speaker 3: How many rats are aboard the ship? Probably plenty.
Speaker 1: What did they eat at sea that they weren't getting
Speaker 1: enough nutrients to avoid scurvy?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's just not fruit.
Speaker 1: They weren't getting any vitamin sea, so they would be
Speaker 1: eating like hard tack and maybe some dried meat.
Speaker 3: I don't know, occasional fish. It's like that would be
Speaker 3: pretty healthy.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 7: So there you go.
Speaker 3: That's my whole message. If you're on a gop, mix
Speaker 3: in an orange.
Speaker 1: Now, and then all right, if you're on a whaling
Speaker 1: ship in eighteen fifty mixing an orange, same thing. Are
Speaker 1: you following the Jimmy Lai story. We have talked about
Speaker 1: him over the years, Yeah, it's tragic. Is one of
Speaker 1: the most courageous men I have been witnessed to in
Speaker 1: our lifetime. He should be a household name, and the
Speaker 1: reasons he's not are all disgusting. It's a combination of
Speaker 1: like your Hollywood class, or well, just a lot of
Speaker 1: business people too, who are so scared of on getting
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of China that they don't elevate
Speaker 1: him to the level. I mean, he should be like
Speaker 1: a Nelson Mandela sort of household name all around the world.
Speaker 1: But he's not because China's got so much might as
Speaker 1: an economic power that people don't want to get on
Speaker 1: the right side China, and holding him up as a
Speaker 1: hero does not help you in doing business with China.
Speaker 1: I also think on the left, because there's such Zeno files,
Speaker 1: to concede that America's greatest rival is actually evil is
Speaker 1: to concede that America is good or at least better
Speaker 1: than the communist Chinese. And they are unwilling to do that,
Speaker 1: even to the point of ignoring Jimmy Li. But Jimmy
Speaker 1: Lai is a he's very old at this point, and
Speaker 1: he well, he had a newspaper all about free speech
Speaker 1: in that and pointing out China's awfulness in Hong Kong.
Speaker 1: And then he got when China took back over Hong Kong,
Speaker 1: he was arrested, charged with all kinds of ridiculous crap.
Speaker 1: And then finally this weekend they gave him a lot.
Speaker 1: He's been in solitary confinement as a very old man
Speaker 1: for five years. I didn't realize that solitary for five years.
Speaker 1: And now they've given him my life sentence and he's
Speaker 1: going to die in prison. And he was asking his
Speaker 1: final interview not long ago, if he has any fear,
Speaker 1: and he said, yes, I do have fear, a lot
Speaker 1: of fear, which is you should. And I wish there
Speaker 1: was somehow a way to elevate him so that like
Speaker 1: college students were chanting his name at various events, wow,
Speaker 1: or the Hollywood crowd would feel like doing a documentary,
Speaker 1: a biopic about him, you know, just just make him
Speaker 1: that worldwide figure of freedom. But because people are scared
Speaker 1: of China, it's not going to happen, not while he's
Speaker 1: alive anyway. Well, or in the case of the college kids,
Speaker 1: they're just ignoramuses with minds perverted by their professors. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you ought to be a global hero. It's very disappointing
Speaker 1: that he's not. He had everything and nothing to lose
Speaker 1: if he just coutouted to the Chinese government, and he
Speaker 1: had everything to lose if he stood.
Speaker 3: Up against them, and he stood up against them.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: I left out the part of the story where he's
Speaker 1: an unbelievably successful businessman. He's ungodly wealthy when he decides
Speaker 1: to take on this freedom fright against China.
Speaker 3: Yeah he had.
Speaker 1: He could have very easily, you know, kept his mouth
Speaker 1: shot or funded some other people fighting this fight, and
Speaker 1: lived an amazing life as a.
Speaker 3: Super rich person. But he did not.
Speaker 1: He laid it all on the line. He should get
Speaker 1: more credit for that. Horrible So, sometimes the good die young.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they die because they deserve it. The Washington Post,
Speaker 1: for instance, has earned everything that's happening to it. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that next hour.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty
