Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and
Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I saw that Joanne Fabrics is going out of
Speaker 2: business and closing all of its stores. Yeah, now your
Speaker 2: mom knows how your dad feels about Hooter is going banking.
Speaker 1: Joanne Fabrics? Did you know?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: I got a question with my voice and being sick today,
Speaker 2: because your voice, your voice can go two ways. When
Speaker 2: you're sick, You can get and it sounds sexy, or
Speaker 2: you can just sound like you're dying, which am I
Speaker 2: closer to. Oh my god, thanks for putting me in
Speaker 2: that position. Uh, half and a half.
Speaker 1: Dying's not a sexy thing.
Speaker 4: Straddling the line between bedroom voice and one foot in
Speaker 4: the grave.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think they're like very white.
Speaker 2: It's funny that we do find and I find this
Speaker 2: kind of the husky, gravelly voice hot even for a woman.
Speaker 2: But if it crosses into your ill our animal brain thinks,
Speaker 2: get away from them.
Speaker 1: They've got something.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, that is interesting. Perhaps a linguist would like
Speaker 4: to write us a note and explain that for us,
Speaker 4: or an anthropologist or something like that. So it's funny
Speaker 4: about to go into the situation that Israel's facing as
Speaker 4: the ceasefire hostage negotiations thingy is about to draw to
Speaker 4: close this weekend, even though there are dozens more hostages
Speaker 4: being held. I said, fifty three maybe, and more than
Speaker 4: half of them are dead, allegedly murdered at the hands
Speaker 4: of Hamas, whether on October seventh or while in captivity.
Speaker 4: Did they ever actually give back the body of that
Speaker 4: mom from last weekend?
Speaker 1: No, not that I'm aware of them.
Speaker 2: And that's got to be because she is so brutalized
Speaker 2: and it would be so obvious.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want.
Speaker 2: Say the things, but you know, it would be obvious
Speaker 2: how how she was treated.
Speaker 1: And they don't. They don't. They don't want that out there, right.
Speaker 4: I suppose it's conceivable that they lost the body, although
Speaker 4: I was listening to one very informed person on the
Speaker 4: topic say no, that's virtually impossible because they knew they
Speaker 4: were such important bargaining chips. But I don't know. I
Speaker 4: don't know for sure. So here's here's the story to
Speaker 4: get us into this. And you did not hear this
Speaker 4: on the news. It's an example of a couple of
Speaker 4: different stories that you just are not covered by American
Speaker 4: media because it makes them uncomfortable. If there is a
Speaker 4: bit of smoke on some airliner going from Minneapolis to Dubuque,
Speaker 4: you'll see it on every single newscast all day long.
Speaker 4: Here's the headline for you, Jiehattists behead seventy Christians in
Speaker 4: the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You know, I saw
Speaker 4: that the other day and I meant to check up
Speaker 4: on if that was real or not because I hadn't
Speaker 4: heard it.
Speaker 1: I thought this can't be real, or I would have
Speaker 1: heard about this.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's absolutely real. Why did it get no coverage?
Speaker 4: The Islamist group Allied Democratic Forces the ADF, surrounded the
Speaker 4: village of Such and Such, forced residents from their homes,
Speaker 4: rounded up total seventy Christian villagers, forced them into a
Speaker 4: Protestant church in the nearby town of Kasanga. It'd being
Speaker 4: abandoned by its congregants because of the security situation there.
Speaker 4: They murdered all seventy of them inside the church, with
Speaker 4: beheading reportedly their preferred method of execution. So mad, here's
Speaker 4: how horrific that was? Well, yeah, we could, but I'd
Speaker 4: prefer not too. And here's why we were talking last
Speaker 4: hour about how even on the center left now they
Speaker 4: are saying out loud, oh yeah, rampant, uncontrolled immigration is
Speaker 4: terrible for working people, it's terrible for average citizens. It's
Speaker 4: being rejected all over the world. And people were called racist.
Speaker 2: For trying to bring people's attention to rampant, uncontrolled immigration.
Speaker 1: How terrible that was.
Speaker 4: I mean, many of the same people who are saying
Speaker 4: it over and over again as those of us on
Speaker 4: the right side of the aisle were saying, Look, we
Speaker 4: can have lots of immigration.
Speaker 1: If you want. We just need laws and we need
Speaker 1: to follow the laws.
Speaker 4: So there has been a sea change in the way
Speaker 4: people talk about immigration now, and it's just so charming. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I find myself wondering whether a similar sea change is
Speaker 4: going to happen on the topic of Islamic supremacists, which
Speaker 4: is my preferred term these days. Islama fascists was common
Speaker 4: for a while, Shuria supremacists whatever, or justists.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Islamists.
Speaker 4: This is the branch of Islam that is expansionist, a conquering, military, legal,
Speaker 4: societal philosophy of Islam, which is very common around the world.
Speaker 1: It's certainly not universal.
Speaker 4: And I was thinking about how to present this, and
Speaker 4: you know, one obvious comparison is to be white is
Speaker 4: not to be a white supremacist, unlike what Joy Reid
Speaker 4: and the DEI crowd would tell you, mostly so they
Speaker 4: could call you into silence and take over institutions and
Speaker 4: usher and neomarxism anyway. And to be Muslim is not
Speaker 4: to be an Islamic supremacist at all. On the other hand,
Speaker 4: it exists as an ideology. It's well armed, it's absolutely brutal,
Speaker 4: and it thinks God is on its side, and it's
Speaker 4: more than happy to martyr lots of people, including women
Speaker 4: and children, because they think they go straight to heaven
Speaker 4: and is great. And I just wonder whether the world
Speaker 4: is going to wake up to it and start talking
Speaker 4: about it openly.
Speaker 1: Here's a headline for you.
Speaker 4: A decimated Hamas prepares for a new fight with Israel.
Speaker 4: They've recorded a recruited thousands of new fighters. They hand
Speaker 4: them pamphlets on how to be guerrilla warriors. That's most
Speaker 4: of the training, and now they're willing to go back
Speaker 4: to war with the evil Jews to wipe them off
Speaker 4: the face of the earth.
Speaker 2: There are currently one point nine billion Muslims in the world.
Speaker 2: I just looked that up. I don't know what percentage
Speaker 2: are okay with sharia law the way attacked it out
Speaker 2: by the crazies, but it wouldn't need to be a
Speaker 2: very big percentage to be a hell of a lot
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 1: When the total number is almost two.
Speaker 4: Billion, Well if it were twenty percent, for instance, that
Speaker 4: would be three hundred and eighty million people, far larger
Speaker 4: than the United States of America bent worldwide on conquest
Speaker 4: and the slaughter of the non believers.
Speaker 2: Just to back up to your original story, why do
Speaker 2: you think seventy Christians being beheaded by Muslims doesn't make
Speaker 2: the news.
Speaker 1: The utterly.
Speaker 4: Strange subculture that is the American media is so dedicated
Speaker 4: to their woke principles. A they they're just super uncomfortable
Speaker 4: saying anything critical about anything foreign.
Speaker 1: There's Zeno files.
Speaker 4: And the second thing is and they would tell you
Speaker 4: this because they're so deluded.
Speaker 1: You know, the story's horrible.
Speaker 4: But if we were to report that Islamophobia might rise
Speaker 4: and there might be a backlash against peace loving Muslims.
Speaker 4: I mean, we've heard that over and over again.
Speaker 2: Well wait, now we also know you'd get bigger pushback
Speaker 2: from Muslim activists to your management, advertisers, whatever, So just
Speaker 2: makes it more difficult.
Speaker 4: And care Right, which is an utterly awful organization that
Speaker 4: is more than happy to support Islamism, Islamic supremacism when
Speaker 4: it can, while acting like their moderates.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 4: They're always on the march. They're trying to cow people
Speaker 4: into submission, have for decades. Now one more note and
Speaker 4: then we need to take a break. And I want
Speaker 4: to come back because I haven't even gotten to the
Speaker 4: main point of this screed, which is about to unfold
Speaker 4: in front of all of our eyes and be the
Speaker 4: biggest story on earth probably Wow.
Speaker 1: And that's the renewed.
Speaker 4: Fighting in Gaza, slash the West Bank, slash Israel.
Speaker 1: Ilia Shapiro, the law professor tweeted this. It is.
Speaker 4: The map of the Palestinian state that Ahoud old Merit proposed.
Speaker 4: He's the former Prime Minister of Israel. This is one
Speaker 4: of the offers for a Palestinian state that.
Speaker 1: The PLO and the and the.
Speaker 4: PLA and then Hamas now have rejected. And if you
Speaker 4: could see this map, it is an enormous Palestinian state.
Speaker 4: It's very very generous. It's everything they ask for, and
Speaker 4: it's and it was rejected like every other settlement that
Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter came to, that Bill Clinton came to.
Speaker 1: It's because they.
Speaker 4: Don't want a Palestinian state as much as they want
Speaker 4: to wipe the Jews off the map and have all
Speaker 4: of it. That is the only position that they will accept.
Speaker 4: And there's no negotiating it with them. They only negotiate
Speaker 4: to cover that because they are say it with me,
Speaker 4: Islamic supremacists. That's not the controversial part. The controversial part
Speaker 4: after a short break, Well, you're dealing with people in
Speaker 4: Hamas who murder babies with their bare hands, and as
Speaker 4: we learned from that report that came out last week,
Speaker 4: in some cases the majority of the people that went
Speaker 4: into Israel in October seventh were just regular Palestinians. They
Speaker 4: weren't members of Hamas. Right, We're just pretty horrifying. Getting
Speaker 4: back to what percentage, yeah, et cetera. Yeah, So the
Speaker 4: really controversial part probably a career ender a boy coming
Speaker 4: up next, stay with us.
Speaker 1: I think it's freaking shocking.
Speaker 2: Seventy Christians were beheaded by Muslim radicals, and it doesn't
Speaker 2: make the news.
Speaker 4: No, as we said, if some stortis falls down and
Speaker 4: hurts her knee on an airplane. Lately, it makes the
Speaker 4: news constantly because we're fixated on airplanes with seventy Christians beheaded.
Speaker 1: No, because the media is uncomfortable with that.
Speaker 4: It might cause an anti Muslim backlash anyway, if you're
Speaker 4: just tuning in number one where you've been. Secondly, we
Speaker 4: were talking about how we're hoping people start talking honestly
Speaker 4: about Islamic supremacists Islamism the way all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: now it's fine to say rampant immigration is terrible for
Speaker 4: countries when you were called a racist for saying that
Speaker 4: for decades. Anyway, a couple of thoughts really quickly, and
Speaker 4: then to the main point. Finally, there's a big rally
Speaker 4: in New York City on that big, medium sized for
Speaker 4: Hassan Nazraala, the dead Hasbola leader, and the reporter from
Speaker 4: the Free Press went in and all the Kafia wearing hamas,
Speaker 4: flag waving candles and pictures people. They had a hard
Speaker 4: time finding anybody who even knew the name of the
Speaker 4: person or who they were or what they did. They
Speaker 4: just knew they were supposed to show up as part
Speaker 4: of the brave resistance and put on their terrorist scarf.
Speaker 4: As I heard it characterized the other day, it's just
Speaker 4: utterly foolish. It's like all the college kids who say
Speaker 4: chant from the river to the sea, but they don't
Speaker 4: know what river and what sea. Moving along editorial here
Speaker 4: from early curlyonchik Yuri curlyon chick I should say he's
Speaker 4: an Israeli, he says. When I was a boy, Israel
Speaker 4: was a leftist country. We had a huge We had
Speaker 4: huge peace rallies. The Oslo Accords were celebrated as if
Speaker 4: they were going to save the world, and we even
Speaker 4: had a subject in school called peace in honor of
Speaker 4: our treaty with Jordan. People who were skeptical of this
Speaker 4: all consuming love fest reviews were viewed as crazy racists
Speaker 4: and messionic fanatics. To even suggest that not all societies
Speaker 4: wanted peace was seen as vulgar and uncouth. Nice people
Speaker 4: cried for the innocent on both sides. The saying was,
Speaker 4: we could forgive the Arabs for killing our children, but
Speaker 4: not for making us kill theirs. But then this euphoria
Speaker 4: of peace was followed by decades of barbarism and that
Speaker 4: eroded the pity reserves of the majority of the Israeli people.
Speaker 4: Then he goes through the long list of slaughters and
Speaker 4: bus explosions and child murders that I don't even want
Speaker 4: to describe to you. People were mutilated, castrated, crippled, not
Speaker 4: as collateral damage, but meticulously with sadistic precision by an enemy.
Speaker 4: You preferred to go after defenseless civilians who seemed to
Speaker 4: revel in atrocity, as if atrocity was an end in
Speaker 4: and of itself.
Speaker 1: Well, did you know there was a near miss over
Speaker 1: the weekend They got no reporting.
Speaker 2: Several buses Israeli buses had explosions on them overnight and
Speaker 2: the guesses and Hamas has taken credit for this. The
Speaker 2: guess is, just like we all have done with our
Speaker 2: alarm clock, they got the AMPM wrong on setting the bombs.
Speaker 2: They went off when the buses were empty. But if
Speaker 2: they'd have gone off as it is suspected they were
Speaker 2: supposed to, this would be the biggest story going on
Speaker 2: right now. They'd evand they went off just after midnight
Speaker 2: instead of lunchtime, it would have been one of the
Speaker 2: biggest attacks in the history of attacking.
Speaker 1: Israel, I'll be talking about it.
Speaker 4: And then juxtaposed that with, as we said last segment,
Speaker 4: the multiple peace plans for a two state solution that
Speaker 4: were at the last second rejected by the leadership of
Speaker 4: Hamas or the PLO or whatever, leaving American lefties Righty's
Speaker 4: everybody shaking their heads thinking, I thought we had the deal.
Speaker 4: Let's because they don't want the deal. Brings me to
Speaker 4: the ultimate point. I think it's absolutely correct. Andrew Roberts
Speaker 4: wrote this in the Free Press, the historical case for
Speaker 4: Trump's Gaza plan, and it's not the Mara Gaza part
Speaker 4: of it, but it's essentially total victory. And he says
Speaker 4: historical precedent suggests that Hamas's invasion of southern Israel that
Speaker 4: day on October seventh, and its punishment by the Israeli
Speaker 4: defense forces have severe implications for whether the Gazas still
Speaker 4: have the right to decide their own destiny and who
Speaker 4: governs them. And then he makes an inescapable historical point
Speaker 4: that I don't think the modern world is willing to
Speaker 4: say out loud, even though everybody knows.
Speaker 1: It to be true.
Speaker 4: Anybody who has any sense again, and again in the past,
Speaker 4: people who unleash unprovoked aggressive wars against their neighbors and
Speaker 4: are then defeated, as the godsens have been on any
Speaker 4: conceivable metric, lose either their government or their sovereignty or both.
Speaker 4: It would be strange, he says in an understatement. Were
Speaker 4: Hamas somehow to buck this historical trend again, you on
Speaker 4: leishan unprovoked aggressive war against your neighbor and are then defeated.
Speaker 1: You're done every damn time in history.
Speaker 4: The Boer Wars in Southern Africa, the transvall and Orange
Speaker 4: Free State, British colonies, and blah blah uh, you got
Speaker 4: the Nazis and the Sudate Land, the Czech State and
Speaker 4: everything else they did, and a bunch of other historical examples.
Speaker 4: It's always the same, because if you think about it,
Speaker 4: what is the especially when it's done repeatedly, repeatedly, friends,
Speaker 4: what's the alternative saying all right now, you can't do
Speaker 4: that anymore, Okay, we'll live peacefully side by side. It's
Speaker 4: almost funny when you say it out loud, especially given
Speaker 4: the history of it. The only thing the radical Islamists
Speaker 4: have done during periods of peace is prepare themselves for
Speaker 4: new and horrifying attacks, and you people saying, well, Israel
Speaker 4: really needs to negotiate a two state solution. You are
Speaker 4: living in a dreamland and Israel has finally woken up
Speaker 4: to that fact.
Speaker 2: So do you think that's what's gonna start back up
Speaker 2: here again soon? And this time around with the backing
Speaker 2: of the US president, not the US president constantly saying
Speaker 2: don't right right?
Speaker 4: VC France joined with the Allies gone, Imperial Japan attack,
Speaker 4: Pearl Harbor gone, North Korea, attacked South Korea and June
Speaker 4: nineteen fifty punished terribly, became a prie estate.
Speaker 2: As history interesting, we had a lot more on the
Speaker 2: way if you missed a secment to get the podcast
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Chicago's Midway Airport a runway disaster averted by seconds. Southwest
Speaker 3: seven thirty seven comes in for landing that jet going
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty miles per hour, just feet before
Speaker 3: touching down. When the quick thinking pilots abort the landing,
Speaker 3: pulling back into the air just as that private business
Speaker 3: jet crossing in front of them, Those Southwest pilots asking
Speaker 3: air traffic control what went wrong? Air Traffic Control told
Speaker 3: that flex jet aircraft not to cross that runway. If
Speaker 3: the Southwest crew hadn't been so alert and seeing this
Speaker 3: aircraft crossing the runway, this could have been a terrible,
Speaker 3: terrible tragedy.
Speaker 1: Could have been.
Speaker 4: I like how they described the pilots as quick thinking,
Speaker 4: as if you know, you see another plane crossing your
Speaker 4: own runway and turned to the co pilot and say,
Speaker 4: what do you suppose we ought to do? I mean,
Speaker 4: there's another plane right where we're going.
Speaker 1: Hmm, wait a minute, we could pull up.
Speaker 2: Well. That led every national newscast last night, and there's
Speaker 2: the implication that something's going on with flying. Every day
Speaker 2: there's a near disaster or a disaster, and I hope
Speaker 2: it's not the shark attacks of pre nine to eleven
Speaker 2: happening right now where we're having the plane scare of
Speaker 2: the day before something major in real happens.
Speaker 4: Some of the stories are pretty dopey, but I think
Speaker 4: it's a legit story that the FAA and our air
Speaker 4: traffic control system is antiquate and south dated, it's understaffed.
Speaker 1: I think that's a legit story. This is a legit story.
Speaker 2: So lots of talk about the world richest man Elon Musk,
Speaker 2: Who's going to be in the cabinet meeting today. This
Speaker 2: is interesting having a cabinet meeting and Elon is going to.
Speaker 1: Be there and they can wear it fast as the
Speaker 1: chief advisor to Trump. Okay, Department of Government efficiency.
Speaker 2: But checking in with the second rigishment man in the world,
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos. Today he tweeted out this note he shared
Speaker 2: with his workers at the Washington Post. Case you don't know,
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos owns Amazon. That's why he's the world's second
Speaker 2: richest man. And he also owns the Washington Post. And
Speaker 2: he this is what he tweeted out. I shared this
Speaker 2: note with the Washington Post team this morning. I'm writing
Speaker 2: to let you know about a change coming to our
Speaker 2: opinion pages. We're going to be writing every day in
Speaker 2: support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets.
Speaker 2: We'll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing
Speaker 2: those pillars will be left to be published by others.
Speaker 1: Wow, I know.
Speaker 2: Je Again, their opinion pages are going to stress personal
Speaker 2: liberties and free markets. He goes on, there was time
Speaker 2: on a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly,
Speaker 2: might have seen it as a service to bring to
Speaker 2: the reader's doorstep every morning a broad based opinion section
Speaker 2: that sought to cover all views. Today, the Internet does
Speaker 2: that job. I am of America and for America, and
Speaker 2: proud to be so. Our country did not get here
Speaker 2: by being typical, and a big part of America's success
Speaker 2: has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.
Speaker 2: Freedom is ethical, It minimizes coercion and practical. It drives creativity, invention,
Speaker 2: and prosperity.
Speaker 4: Halle Louisa, I know, wow, Finally, finally.
Speaker 1: Everybody's understood we're in a fight.
Speaker 4: I always better fight for the things we cherished, because
Speaker 4: we've assumed everybody liked him for too long.
Speaker 1: He goes on.
Speaker 2: I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity
Speaker 2: to lead this new chapter. I I know that name,
Speaker 2: but I don't remember who that is anyway, Jeff Bezos says.
Speaker 2: I suggested to him that if the answer wasn't hell yes,
Speaker 2: then it had to be no. After careful consideration, David
Speaker 2: decided to step away. This is a significant shift. It
Speaker 2: won't be easy, and it will require one hundred percent commitment.
Speaker 2: I respect his decision. We'll be searching for a new
Speaker 2: opinion editor to own this new direction. I'm confident that
Speaker 2: three free markets and personal liberties are right for America.
Speaker 2: I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current
Speaker 2: market of ideas and news opinion.
Speaker 4: I'm excited for us together to fill that void. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, how fantastic is this. They're gonna have to
Speaker 4: install like gutters and drains there at the WAPO to
Speaker 4: channel the bitter tears of the young wolkesters. But this this,
Speaker 4: to do it, it's great, But to say it so
Speaker 4: forcefully and publicly is even better.
Speaker 1: We need a hell of a lot more of that.
Speaker 2: Well, he's saying, in effect one, we're going to emphasize
Speaker 2: personal liberty and economic freedom and it's underserved yes in
Speaker 2: the national media, and we're gonna fill that role.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: And if you're not for it, as he told the
Speaker 2: guy currently running the opinion page, if you're not hell yes,
Speaker 2: then you're a no. And the guy was clearly not
Speaker 2: a hell yes. So get I'll find somebody who is
Speaker 2: a hell yes.
Speaker 4: Here's the counter argument, because it popped up in my head. Well,
Speaker 4: having a range of views on every topic is the
Speaker 4: traditional role of the op ed sections, as he mentioned,
Speaker 4: and it seems weird and like controlling to get away
Speaker 4: from that. But my answer would be he's one hundred
Speaker 4: percent right, and it's really important to say so, especially
Speaker 4: now because so many of our young have been indoctrinated
Speaker 4: into thinking the opposite, that the US is a force
Speaker 4: for bad, that free markets are somehow exploitive, and that
Speaker 4: socialism is the way forward. Look, I've heard the arguments
Speaker 4: for socialism, communism, collectivism my entire life.
Speaker 1: They suck. Well, let me put it this, I should
Speaker 1: put it like this.
Speaker 4: They're seductive, but they always end in disaster, always, always, always.
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to be confident to say that now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to know we're not gonna see the
Speaker 2: argument to a bunch of neo Marxist elementary slash high
Speaker 2: school slash college teachers. Yeah, I would say that the
Speaker 2: arguments definitely don't suck. The arguments are exactly what you said, seductive,
Speaker 2: I mean, because capitalism's got all kinds of looks bad.
Speaker 2: But the data, the results of trying different systems is clear.
Speaker 4: If you haven't read Stephen Pinker's Enlightenment, now, at least
Speaker 4: the first chunk of it.
Speaker 1: Do it, do it.
Speaker 4: So it's utterly convincing that free markets and free people
Speaker 4: have brought all of the prosperity and goodness you see
Speaker 4: around the world.
Speaker 1: So it has already headed this direction.
Speaker 2: I think anyway is the is a mainstream left and
Speaker 2: far left gonna turn on Jeff Bezos now and think, oh,
Speaker 2: he's just for this because he's become the world second
Speaker 2: richest man through greed crushing capitalism, and.
Speaker 1: They're printing employees to death.
Speaker 4: They're printing the prefab placards right now to walk around
Speaker 4: and chant around the WAPA.
Speaker 2: This this could be a significant development. I love it.
Speaker 2: I could not love it more. It's fantastic.
Speaker 1: Than you.
Speaker 4: Say this one out loud too, Jeff. A lot of
Speaker 4: the stifling regulation that crushes people's entrepreneurial dreams is perpetrated
Speaker 4: by big corporations like yours because.
Speaker 1: They know the little guy can't bear the.
Speaker 4: What do they call it, the compliance costs. They don't
Speaker 4: have a big enough legal team to file all those
Speaker 4: papers that the regulations say.
Speaker 1: So there are.
Speaker 4: There are perversions of the free market that come from
Speaker 4: capitalist players, and we've got to recognize that and be
Speaker 4: honest about that too.
Speaker 1: Man. Amazon is tough to compete with.
Speaker 2: It came across another situation yesterday Henry needed some stuff
Speaker 2: for a school science project and there were a couple
Speaker 2: of things. I could go downtown to the local hardware store,
Speaker 2: nice guy, nice people. Or I could order it on
Speaker 2: Amazon and have it in a couple hours oh my
Speaker 2: house on a busy day. I mean, how do you
Speaker 2: compete with that? I never do the same day thing,
Speaker 2: so I don't think of it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's how I do it. All all, you're not
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. You got to be Amazon prob. Well I am,
Speaker 1: but I just it's like having a butler.
Speaker 2: It is. I'm a shocked every time every time I
Speaker 2: need a cord for something where that cord I'll just
Speaker 2: I need a new one.
Speaker 1: They're like nine bucks and.
Speaker 2: I ordered it's gonna be there, you know, be here.
Speaker 2: But after five today? What it is like having a butler?
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, for long time listeners to the show, sleeve Boy
Speaker 4: is no longer with me. I have put sleeve Boy
Speaker 4: on unpaid leave. He's my servant who exists merely to
Speaker 4: button that little button on dress shirts.
Speaker 1: It's like halfway up the arm anyway.
Speaker 4: Those but I ordered sleeve boy to submit a list
Speaker 4: of the five things he's done for me this past month.
Speaker 4: And since I almost never wear dress shirts, he had nothing,
Speaker 4: and so I put him on leave.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't believe me. Listen to this quick tale
Speaker 2: before I take a break. There's not much to it.
Speaker 2: It's a near tragedy. We like most people do who
Speaker 2: have dogs in a backyard that's fenced. You open the
Speaker 2: door and let your dog go outside to peow, and
Speaker 2: then and then you leave him out there for five
Speaker 2: to minutes to a half an hour depending on the day,
Speaker 2: and there want and then you see him standing in
Speaker 2: the door and you go let him back in again.
Speaker 2: Got a pool has never been a problem, Henry. For
Speaker 2: whatever reason, God intervened or whatever looks out after we
Speaker 2: let Pop out and Pup was swimming in the pool
Speaker 2: m and Henry ran out there and got him out
Speaker 2: of there. He would have absolutely drowned. There's no way
Speaker 2: he could get out of that pool. He's a pug,
Speaker 2: No way he could to get out of the pool.
Speaker 1: Somehow he fell in the pool.
Speaker 2: And and we never look out the window after you
Speaker 2: let him out to pete to keep an eye on
Speaker 2: him or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Why would you? You can't do that every time.
Speaker 2: Uh just happened to look out there and see him
Speaker 2: and ran out there and fished him out. He was
Speaker 2: he had just gone under. Oh yeah, oh it would
Speaker 2: have been horrible. Oh my god, for for that, my
Speaker 2: current my son's mental health, and that's his companion, and
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, it would have been just devastating.
Speaker 1: Oh don't even want to think him. No, thanks, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that dog? Dogs?
Speaker 2: Back to why how's a dog fall in the pool? Yea,
Speaker 2: and see it, It's not like animals don't fall in
Speaker 2: ponds all the time. Well, the problem with pools. You
Speaker 2: can walk into a pond and out of it again.
Speaker 2: A pool you can get in, but you can't get out.
Speaker 2: If you're a dog, has he ever shown a proclivity
Speaker 2: for swimming before? No, No, Pugs don't have a proclivity
Speaker 2: for anything other than struggling to breathe.
Speaker 4: Wow, they're God's mistake. Wow Wow, Okay, so moving along.
Speaker 4: Thank God, your dog's all right, obviously, But what what
Speaker 4: made him.
Speaker 1: Look out the window? Just then?
Speaker 4: You attribute that to God intervening or just locker? Maybe
Speaker 4: it's your cruel limiting, limiting of screen time. He just
Speaker 4: decided to He was so bored because I took away
Speaker 4: screen time.
Speaker 1: Yep. There he looked out a window. That's how bored
Speaker 1: he is. He's looking out windows.
Speaker 4: Now Here is the punchline, how did we go from
Speaker 4: this being a ridiculous joke to being state mandated beliefs?
Speaker 4: The setup to that punchline coming up in a few moments.
Speaker 1: We got lots to get to today.
Speaker 2: Our text line if you want to join in the
Speaker 2: conversation at any point about anything, the text line is
Speaker 2: four one five, two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1: Jack Tapper of CNN's got a new.
Speaker 2: Book out about the Biden presidency and the cover up
Speaker 2: of his mental decline, which we'll talk about next hour.
Speaker 1: Wow our three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I knew it wouldn't take long for that the
Speaker 4: truth to emerge, I so obvious to everybody.
Speaker 1: Anyway, more on that to come.
Speaker 4: As I said, the punchline of this is how did
Speaker 4: we go from this being a ridiculous joke? And we're
Speaker 4: talking about clip eighteen, Michael, I don't think I told
Speaker 4: you that from being a ridiculous joke to being state
Speaker 4: mandated beliefs and We ran this clip ages ago. It
Speaker 4: was from Fred Armison's genius hilarious Portlandia, mocking the at
Speaker 4: the time fairly geographic, restricted, woke crowd. But what we
Speaker 4: the people didn't realize was that those attitudes had absolutely
Speaker 4: infiltrated education K through grad school, and the kids were
Speaker 4: being indoctrinated in it, even as we laughed at Portlandia.
Speaker 1: But this is from Portlandia. A number of years ago.
Speaker 4: It went from a ridiculous joke to a state mandated belief.
Speaker 4: You need to picture the fella that you hear is
Speaker 4: talking to his lesbian mom and her partner that run
Speaker 4: this store, and the guy has a baby in the
Speaker 4: little baby carrier on his chest.
Speaker 5: You don't want to know the gender of the baby.
Speaker 5: We don't want to know the sex. And you know
Speaker 5: that I don't know your gender. I don't know canvases.
Speaker 5: I don't know mine.
Speaker 1: You don't know my gender. I don't do I look
Speaker 1: like a woman.
Speaker 5: I don't know what a woman looks like. Do you?
Speaker 5: I just feel like I'm good at recognizing a woman
Speaker 5: when I see one. What are you? You're a detective?
Speaker 5: A gender detective? No? I just lifting up skirts and
Speaker 5: pulling down pants and just getting in there with your magnifying.
Speaker 1: Never done that.
Speaker 5: I didn't even consider your gender, and I know you
Speaker 5: still didn't didn't get I've accepted it now. I accept
Speaker 5: you're a man. I think you have a penis. That
Speaker 5: doesn't mean it's gonna stay that way.
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Is there a problem?
Speaker 5: Because we can discuss our whole family history right now
Speaker 5: if you want.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that would be appropriate.
Speaker 5: That's your father talking.
Speaker 1: That is your disc gusting father. I'm sorry I didn't
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're man.
Speaker 5: I raised you right, Do you remember I do? I
Speaker 5: definitely kept it fuzzy when it came to what gender
Speaker 5: you are, not raising you by any kind of binary
Speaker 5: gender coade.
Speaker 1: Do you remember?
Speaker 5: I'd dress you up in a ballerina costume one day
Speaker 5: and the next one a sailor outfit, and still confusing.
Speaker 5: All of our world's geniuses were confused. Einstein was very confused.
Speaker 5: He said, was Einstein a man or a woman? He
Speaker 5: turned out to be a man because of the mustache
Speaker 5: that will give away even a woman cannot have a mustache.
Speaker 1: That that's a true.
Speaker 5: I'm proud of you. You know that right, even though
Speaker 5: you're a man, I can't change that.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 2: Actually, First of all, Fred Harmison is one of the
Speaker 2: funniest people who's ever lived, true fact. But oh my god,
Speaker 2: so that was because PORTLANDI is pretty old. Now, I
Speaker 2: mean that was like fifteen years ago. Probably it was
Speaker 2: before this madness started. They couldn't have done that now.
Speaker 4: They couldn't have done They could do it now, They
Speaker 4: couldn't have done it five years ago, right, right, it
Speaker 4: would they would have been brutalized for it. And again,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, how did that go from hilarious crazy
Speaker 4: people to you dare not argue with it?
Speaker 2: Well, Fred Armison, I mean he's a he's a lefty musician,
Speaker 2: artist guy.
Speaker 1: It's not like he's a right winger.
Speaker 2: But right, So, how did it go from lefties making
Speaker 2: fun of this because it's just too out there to
Speaker 2: nobody could make fun out of it, make fun of
Speaker 2: it to back, you'll get arrested in California for misgendering.
Speaker 1: Someone, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: So on a more serious note, Jonathan Turley, writing about
Speaker 4: this in a little noticed study rot at the beginning.
Speaker 1: Of that where they're all just I have no idea
Speaker 1: what you are. You don't know what I know. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. I haven't even thought.
Speaker 4: I'd like to think I'm pretty good at recognizing women.
Speaker 1: What are you a detective?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Right? Right?
Speaker 4: So idiotic? All right, I've got to get to this.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm going to ruin the fund, but that's
Speaker 4: what I do. The first circuit just held that parents
Speaker 4: have no right to know about their eleven year old
Speaker 4: changing gender in their school. Jonathan Turley writing about this
Speaker 4: with some quotes, This unwritten policy was viewed as overriding
Speaker 4: parental rights. The decision is defended as a reflection of
Speaker 4: our pluralistic society. In the court ruling, the court wrote, quote,
Speaker 4: our pluralistic society assigns those curricular and administrative decisions to
Speaker 4: the expertise of school officials charged with the responsibility of
Speaker 4: educating children. Turley points out, there's no more cherished right
Speaker 4: that citizens possessed than raising their children. Indeed, the right
Speaker 4: to raise one's children according to your own faith and
Speaker 4: values is the touchstone of freedom. Conversely, the subordination of
Speaker 4: such rights is the harbinger of state tyranny. True pluralism
Speaker 4: allows families with different norms and values to thrive.
Speaker 1: Public schools are effectively.
Speaker 4: Demanding the parents give up their rights to critical aspects
Speaker 4: of rearing their children as a condition for public education.
Speaker 1: It is a virtual slogan for school choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that has been the goal for quite some time now,
Speaker 2: and it's pretty obvious it's not just about the trans
Speaker 2: stuff in all kinds of different ways. The school wants
Speaker 2: a world and where they make the decisions for raising kids,
Speaker 2: not the parents. The parents are a detriment to the
Speaker 2: raising of the children.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: To pry them away from the nuclear family is their purpose.
Speaker 4: I had professors, a professor a Marxist in college who
Speaker 4: said it openly, No, the nuclear family stands in the
Speaker 4: way of progress. It is an organ of open depression.
Speaker 4: And I sat there listening to this woman, thinking, you're
Speaker 4: a lunatic, because I wasn't familiar with that Marxist tenant
Speaker 4: at that point.
Speaker 2: That's what's happening in schools. Wow, well, this will get overturned,
Speaker 2: but it'll take a while. It'll take a while.
Speaker 1: That is very disturbing. Armstrong and Getty
