WEBVTT - Just Good Old Fashioned Gonorrhea 0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:17.400 and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.040 Thirty six air traffic control facilities have reported staffing problems. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.000 That includes the towers at Chicago O'Hare, Dallasport War, Phoenix 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.080 Sky Harbor, huge hubs for American airlines. You can also 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.559 have the towers at San Francisco and lax. 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:36.640 To the list. 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.680 This is all on the heels of the worst weekend 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.640 for air traffic control staffing since the shutdown began. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.600 One of the main points of the awful government shut down, 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.680 of course, the air traffic controllers situation, the flight cancelations. 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:54.120 Everybody is glad. The shutdown is just about over everybody 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.880 but a lot of Democrats Apparently. I don't understand how 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.760 a democratic center goes. Wow, we weren't really let me 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.360 cave now. In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.039 the shutdown actually gave him more power, Exhibit A being 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.880 what he's done with Snap and Snap benefits across the country. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.560 There's no way to defend this. You are right to 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.679 be angry about it. I'm angry. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.120 Oh, I think this whole thing stinks, and I think 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.720 most members of the House Caucus on the Democratic side 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:27.600 are absolutely outrage Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.160 to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:38.160 Into my mind, this was a very very bad vote. Wow. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.200 I read Mark Alpern's newsletter today, and usually he just 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.160 got like a whole bunch of news items, but today 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:48.280 it was a long kind of essay about the two 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.200 political parties and how they both have this inner turmoil 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.360 and it'll be interesting to see where it lands. You 0:01:53.480 --> 0:02:00.280 got the Republicans with the Tucker Fuenttes, Megan Kelly, you know, 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.520 all that sort of stuff going on where there's a 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.400 lot of energy, and then Democrats all the stuff we've 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:13.320 just heard. Where got the AOC wing that wants to 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.720 fight fight fight Trump and you know, Mom Donnie obviously 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.760 and all that sort of stuff versus the older guard 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.160 who wants But the main takeaway was, and I just 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.760 saw John fetterman senator from Pennsylvania, who's got a book 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.200 out right now. He's doing an interview on Fox and 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.919 he said, nobody knows who's in charge of the Democratic Party. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.080 Halprin's point was the biggest difference between the two parties. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:38.040 While they do have their like energized base, doesn't agree 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.000 with the people at the top thing going on with 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.760 the Republican Party, no doubt. Where the gravity is on 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:49.080 the Republican Party. Trump is the Earth, moon and sun 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:54.960 of everything, for better or worse. And I'm not sure 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.640 who's that has the advantage here, but one guy is 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.040 clearly the leader of the Republican Party. Where's Democrats? Who 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.680 has any idea there? Is it completely leaderless? 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.600 Yeah? Yeah, Hey, Michael hit me with forty two speaker 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.519 Mike Johnson if that is his real name. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.760 The long national nightmare is almost coming to an end. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.680 Out it was long overdue, and the irony. It really 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.760 was a shutdown about nothing. I mean, what we're voting 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.760 on is effectively exactly what we offered them several weeks back. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.880 We've added some appropriations bills now, which we're in favor 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.760 of because it's getting us back to the regular order. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.440 We'll take care of some other details. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.000 But I don't think Chuck Schumer got anything out of 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.840 this other than a political show, And sadly, I think 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.400 that's what he was after the whole time. 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.839 And Honestly, the eight Democrats, the reasonable Senate Democrats who 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.880 voted let's end this thing, are saying roughly the same thing. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.120 It wasn't working, We weren't getting anything done. It was 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.600 just pain for no gain. And the Wall Street Journal 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.880 editorial board points out that the air traffic thing, I mean, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.920 that would really really anger people. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.840 Oh yeah, we had three thousand cancellations Sunday, twenty five 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.720 hundred yesterday already at something like two thousand to day. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.520 That's a lot, you know. And if folks are at 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.240 day late for a vacation or they miss a business 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.440 meeting or something, they're annoyed. But if you don't get 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.880 to see your kids for Thanksgiving or whatever, the grand kids, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.080 and well you're gonna be freaking enraged anyway. But the 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.800 over nothing, that's the thing, exactly, the Journal says, which 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.680 makes the cynical fury aimed at the eight Senate defectors 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.720 all the more remarkable. Pathetic, said California Governor Gavin Newsom. Rokana, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:35.039 another California Democrat with presidential lust, told Democratic Senate leader 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.760 Chuck Schumer to resign, even though Chuck Schumer voted against 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:43.480 the advancing Deal, and then they make the point, and 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.720 I think this is a pretty astute point. These Democrats 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.719 know they're hiding behind their colleagues who voted to reopen, 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.520 who at least extracted retroactive pay for federal workers that 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.800 was always gonna happen, and the rehiring of those terminated 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.920 during the shutdown. So you had eight standing up for 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.320 the American people, so the rest could pretend to be 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.040 brave pugilists against Trump. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:09.000 Yeah, the one of the eight, one woman, said we 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.120 were going to be in exactly the same situation in 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.000 two weeks, so we might as well do it today, 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.680 which I think is true, right right, And they risked 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.680 losing what support they had, so anyway, good luck. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.560 Beat the hell out of each other for all I care. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.120 Do you think I was thinking after this as following 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.640 us yesterday? I think this was the last shutdown for many, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.400 many men, many years, don't you think. Don't you think 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.440 both sides have decided now, okay, this is just we 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:40.599 get nothing out of this. The reasonable part of me thinks, yeah, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.000 you're absolutely right. The cynical part of me thinks, give 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.960 it a month, give it a year and a half. Well, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.160 this is Sode'll decide it's a great idea. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.480 This thing that they're going to pass is only funding 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.680 the government till the end of January. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.720 Right, so who knows? Great? Super So a couple of 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.360 sort of related stories and I'll touch on them real 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.040 quick and Jack we can talk about it if we 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.880 want to flush them out. I thought this was super interesting. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.239 One of the writers at the Free Press, the real 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:11.560 split on the right, influencers versus conservatives. It's not really 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.719 about ideology or Israel. This is a battle between those 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:20.320 who want votes and those who want views. The bomb chucky, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:28.040 click baity, passion stoking, you know, influencers versus the politico types. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.159 You know, I'd like to read more of it, because 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.719 there's plenty of bomb checking and clickbaiting by political figures 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:39.160 to these days. But yeah, yeah, step I see their point. 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.240 But this was to me even more interesting and easy 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.640 to understand. A lot of people have been talking about 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.440 the Democratic Party's young men problem. It's lost tons of 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.960 support from male voters eighteen to twenty nine. Here's the 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.400 problem for Republicans. They've got a more severe version of 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.800 the Democrats' demographic crisis. The GOP has lost an even 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:09.000 greater shale share of female voters under thirty. And although 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.280 Democrats are struggling, albeit pitifully, writes somebody or other who 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.000 has this, this is pretty good writing Beckett Adams. They're 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.560 struggling pitifully to win back those male votes. The right 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.680 doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of its own predicament 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.400 and doesn't have any plan to fix it. And they 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:35.920 point out that women, young women vote more than young men. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.440 So it's probably a bigger problem for Republicans than it 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:47.360 is even for Democrats. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, Do 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.960 you flesh things out or flesh things out? It depends 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:56.160 what you're doing. If you want to have more description 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:04.200 than throwing us, you flesh things out, flush things out. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.960 I don't know what that would refer to. But if 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.920 you got birds in a in a thicket and you're drawing, 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.200 shoot them, you flush them out, You absolutely flush them out. Yeah, okay, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:19.360 and then shoot them dead, yes, because birds are evil? Well, 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.920 there they are government drones if it flies, its spies. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.200 The Republican Party struggled to retain young female voters was 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.520 glaringly obvious again last week. Listen to this, would you please? 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.559 Following the elections, in New York, New Virginia, New Jersey. Okay, 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.880 so the whole Zoran Mamdani thing. He won eighty four 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.920 percent of the vote among women eighteen to twenty nine. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:47.400 Now that's ideological capture. Wow, eighty four Mona Donie in 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.920 New Jersey. And this one really caught my eye because 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.200 Mikey Cheryl was a pretty mediocre candidate if you followed 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:59.160 that race, and Jack Chiderelli was said to be quite 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.960 a good Republican candidate he almost won four years ago. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.040 Mikey Cheryl won eighty one percent of the vote women 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.800 age eighteen to twenty nine. Eighty one percent in Virginia, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:19.920 thoroughly mediocre governor candidate Abigail Spanberger won eighty one percent. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.560 And that scumbag who fantasized about shooting people in the 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.440 head and watching children die in their arms sold two bullets, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.000 Jay Jones, he won seventy six percent of young women. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:38.800 That's something that is a huge trend. One more note 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:45.520 afterward from Webroot and that fascinating. I almost promise that's fascinating. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:46.960 I almost did yesterday. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.320 Webroot's warning us all this time of year about fake 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.760 emails about shipping this and that. I got one from 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.840 said it was from UPS your package has been delayed 0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:59.960 or something like that, and I thought, what. 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:01.840 I no, wait a second, I don't even have a 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.040 package coming. What is this? Yeah, it's easy to fall 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.720 for that stuff. I got to repeat what I said yesterday. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.800 You thought it was tracking, it turned out to be hacking. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.640 Rot to you by webroot rhymes, so you know it's 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.200 true anyway. Yeah, there's so much scamming these days. It 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.679 actually spikes spikes this time of year. That's why it's 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.480 the time to protect yourself with webroot total protection, real 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.480 time antivirus, firewall, password manager, even dark web monitoring VPN 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:29.720 all in one. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.640 The dark web monitoring alone is worth it. You'll actually 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.600 know if your info is being traded out there in 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.160 the dark web. That that'd be good knowledge to have. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.520 Families can protect up to ten devices and ten identities with. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.600 One you know whatever you call it subscription rung. Cover 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.800 your fanny and protect granny with webroots. Again, it's webroot rhymes. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.840 It's got to be true. Webroot dot com slash armstrong. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.280 This webroot dot com slash armstring. You get sixty percent 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.920 off but only through that link. Webroot dot com. Slack 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.680 armstrong life is Oh, I'm sorry, live a better digital 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.679 life with Webroot. You can't screw up their big catchphrase, 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:12.600 I apologize, So listen to this here with y'all. In 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.160 the twenty twenty four election, women under thirty favored the 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:23.240 lunkhead Kamala Harris over Trump by seventeen points seventeen point margin. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.760 In the midterms, women in this age group prefer Democrats 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:34.959 over Republicans by a forty six point margin. Wow, how 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.920 are we ever gonna get together and have relationships? Heterosexual 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.440 relationships and babies? Going for this my favorite kind? 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:47.760 Yes, if we divide this much along gender lines. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.520 Bohy, A'm torn by this next part. You're right, you're 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.360 one hundred percent. We've done the we've talked about this 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.240 before the polling. You don't have to go back very 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.040 many years where it was pretty close to men and 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.280 women tracked with different age groups. Men and women under 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.600 certain age is about half each party. Then you get 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.880 to it older than about half. Each party got more conservative. 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:16.200 But now it's a complete split, right, right, So here's 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.800 a real conflict for me instead of panic urgency, common 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.080 reactions and conservative media and even GOP circles after These 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.240 kind of electoral drubbings include mockery, disdain in general disregard 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.840 that is correct, you've probably seen it before. The pundits 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.960 joking and not joking that the Nineteenth Amendment was a mistake. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:39.720 Legislators dismissing the entire block is sad, childless spinsters, certain 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.720 commentators claiming, based on electoral results, that there's no greater 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:48.520 enemy of Western civilization than young women. The TV and 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.120 podcast hosts ridiculing young female voters for being generally stupid. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:57.240 About that misguided, I don't know about stupid, yeah, misguided 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:02.400 and crazed yeah yeah, in doctriname. But his point obviously 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:07.160 is that the while the Democratics Democratic Party's attempt to 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.640 reconnect with young men have thus far been deeply stupid 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.400 and embarrassing, at least they're trying, and Republicans had better 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:20.720 wake up and do the same. Man. AOC could lead 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:27.560 quite the army, hot army place, probably wearing like leather boots, 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.360 high highes, I don't know, goose stepping, I don't know, crowd, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.480 the crowd of followers. Yeah, like I said about AOC 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:39.360 she's thickening up in her older age. Wow, that was terrible, 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.920 and I apologize for it. Was there any ticket to 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.720 That's how she got on TV in the first place? 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.080 All right, here's your homework assignment. I picture her army 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.640 wearing short shorts and the boots. I'm right, I've said 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.760 something bad. You're right. What young women or young ish 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:02.080 women of a conservative bent? How do we start to 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:07.640 bring back women to sanity and even moderate politics, never 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:12.520 mind make them into conservatives, just not communist communist Islamists. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.160 How do we craft the message? How do we do that? 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.000 What would you suggest a Republican party? Drop us a 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.360 note mail bag at Armstrong and Geddy dot com. Mail 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.040 bag at Armstrong Geddy dot com. There's only one choice. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.360 You got to get the Marxists out of the schools 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:27.560 that are teaching them this stuff. 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.960 Amen. I don't know if there's any other way, true fact. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.000 Yeah, any thoughts on that, Like Joe said, email us 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:35.880 more on the way stay here. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.840 I know we probably have quite a few nervous flyers today. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.400 It is perfectly understandable. I want to emphasize this aircraft 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.480 not move a single inch. Let's put my co captain 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.080 Michael and myself are absolutely certain it's safe to do, 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.880 so top that off. Before I left the house on 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.560 this trip, I little learned the word ice cream and 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.360 she maybe make sure I promised her to get her 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:58.920 ice cream when I get back home from the drip. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.760 That makes it nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing. I'd 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.720 safe comes in to fake me that a little girl 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.480 in her ice cream. Oh, I know you guys probably 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.560 have some similar plans, maybe not tonight, but probably tomorrow 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.920 afternoon with PI. Please feel free to join our wife 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.480 fight and take care of picking out which place you 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.280 guys are going to get ice cream or sho your 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.000 friends and family text about what you guys do on 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.280 the flight. It's gonna be short, should be a really 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.880 nice day to go fly. We'll get you guys up 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.160 there safely. Again, Thanks so much for your health here 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:23.160 in the boarding process. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.640 Why not a way welcome for I kind of like 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.400 the pilot saying I got a little girl who I 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.440 care about I want to take care of, so I'm 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.360 gonna do my best obviously, as opposed to wondering if 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.680 they're despondent and thinking, you know, my life is a mess. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.000 It's never gonna get better muttering passages from the Koran. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.960 Oh jeez, I wasn't gonna go there. They there were 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.680 a couple for that Malaysia air flight. There were a couple. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.480 There was an aegy at Bear flight anyway, but. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.880 That was that was despondent related, and they happened to 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.320 be Muslim, wasn't it right? 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.560 Yeah? Probably? Yeah? Oh what was I gonna say? It 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.360 seemed important? Oh yeah, you know, I had for a 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:02.880 few years of my life when I first started to 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.400 fly for business, a fear of flying that that was 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.240 really annoying. And one of the things that helped me 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.360 a couple of things, but one of them was looking 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.440 at the pilot and co pilot and all the flight 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.640 attendants and thinking they're doing this all day every day 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.000 for a paycheck. It's gonna be okay. That helped. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.680 So when you get on the flight, you should ask 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.040 the pilot so you you know, wife doing okay. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.440 That's your health, his career as rewarding as you'd hoped. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:36.120 You got a gambling problem or anything that's about to 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.480 sneak up on you. No, cool, you ever use the 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:51.760 words what's the point anyway? Everybody would be better off 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:58.520 if I wasn't here. Have you ever said that? Lord? No, Okay, 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.600 I'm going to enjoy it. Flight. Thanks, I'm Tenny if 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:08.639 you need me. So. The spectacular grift that was Black 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:16.560 Lives Matter is actually continuing, and really interesting information has 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.919 emerged about the national Black Lives Matter organization and their finances. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.760 It's funny how it's just not finding its way to 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.920 the mainstream media. But man, we've got some you're not 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.880 gonna believe this stuff. Coming up in just a couple 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:32.639 of minutes, I. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.600 Want to talk a little bit about Veterans Day. It 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.479 is Veterans Day today, and I don't know if your 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.320 kids are in school or not, but it is the 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.800 holiday where we're supposed to anyway on our veterans and 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:43.399 we will talk a. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.600 Little bit about that later. Excellent, looking forward to that 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.880 and the original Veterans Day, the end of World War One, 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.840 which I still find fascinating, partially the fact that we 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.600 thought that that was the worst cataclysm that could ever 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.399 happen on planet Earth and nothing like that would ever 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.040 happen again. Boy were we wrong? Whoops? Yeah, And the 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.879 fact that Europe is now in a gray zone. A 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.040 leader just said, we're not at war, but we're definitely 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.040 not at peace. Wow. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:12.639 Okay, we got a lot of stuff to get to. 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:13.800 I hope you can stay here if you missed a 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.280 segment and get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on the man. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:17.760 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.399 They're just looking at some video at Trump does the 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.320 President of the United States. I shouldn't just call him 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.720 Trump the President of the United States. It's in this 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.280 context I call him Trump all the time. Now I'm 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.720 gonna sneeze. How do you listen to this radio show? 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:32.520 I'm all over the place. 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.919 Wow, this is the rantings of a crazy person. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.359 I got a bird flu, a roof and mouth disease, 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.440 or just good old fashioned gun area. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.680 It's hard to say Sean tries to shoot other men 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.960 over an argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay? 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.359 Stay tuned. Can you blame him? Guy said four? That's ridiculous. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.160 Don't be messing around when we're talking about chickens. Okay, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:56.960 let me start over. 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.880 The President, Donald Trump had a number of Veterans Day 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.640 services that are going on today. My son himself here 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.960 soon will be at our local cemetery as a boy scout, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.360 putting the little American flags on the graves of all 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.919 the veterans, which I appreciate. My brother is a veteran, 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.520 my dad too. My brother actually served in war zones 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:23.239 several different times. And thank God for people who are 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:24.560 willing to do that, because there's a whole bunch of 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.160 people that aren't willing to do that, which we'll talk 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:27.080 about more in a little bit. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.360 Recruitment has been fantastic. We didn't mention this, I. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.040 Don't think, just from a week or so ago when 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.280 the news came out that we the Army met its 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.919 fiscal year twenty twenty five active duty recruitment goal of 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:45.240 sixty one thousand soldiers four months before the year ended, 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.639 four months early. Marking is significant turnaround. I'm going to 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.439 read this whatever this mainstream media explanation or this is 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.359 marking a significant turnaround after failing to meet goals in 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:58.080 previous years. 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.359 So all of a sudden, now you hit the goal 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.520 four months early. This success is attributed to a combination 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:12.520 of new strategies and offering a higher enlistment bonuses along 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:17.639 with a renewed public interest in service. What do you 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:23.399 think that renewed public interest in service is fighting for 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:27.000 Joe Biden's America or fighting for Donald Trump's America right 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:33.040 of a party in a candidate who seemed ashamed of America, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.359 American power, the American place in the world, with a 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:41.000 good dose of fighting in Joe Biden's military run by 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.520 his people, or in Trump's military run by his people. Right, 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.480 the woke social Experiment jobs program, that is, the military 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.680 as opposed to this is going to be a lean, 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:55.360 mean fighting machine, a force for good in the world. Yeah, yeah, 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:56.280 I want to get off on that. 0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:02.000 So Veterans Day today, November eleventh, established because of this day. 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.480 In nineteen eighteen was the end of World War One. Now, 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.280 if you're a fan of World War One or seen 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.239 any of the movies, it is horrifying to know that 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.320 while a number of leaders on both sides knew the 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.080 war was going to end, they still tried to fight 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:22.040 one more battle so that they could get a little 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.359 more credit with their home country for having taken another 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:26.159 hill or whatever. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.360 With young men dying and having their arms blown off 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:35.600 completely needlessly in a vanity project by people who didn't 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.600 have to risk their skin. That's the sort of thing 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.600 that makes pacifist pacifists pacifists are wrong and I'm a 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.720 long way from a pacifist, but there is a great 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:49.800 history military throughout the world of meaningless gestures that make 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:53.280 men leaders feel good by wasting the lives of the 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:57.679 young men. And I find it horrifying, absolutely horrifying. Bothers 0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:58.840 me a lot that that happens. 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.520 Thank God that our culture is not like that to 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.000 a great extent, like similar cultures have men And now 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.359 I bring all that up to get to these numbers. 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:13.159 With all that being known, recent Gallup International polls Gallop 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.159 pretty much the gold standard of polling organizations in the world, 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.480 asking whether or not adults globally would be willing to 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:21.640 fight for their country. 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.080 An interesting question on veterans a day. 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:30.480 Overall for planet Earth, just over half of adults would 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:31.040 be willing. 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:35.239 To fight for their country. The most interesting thing is 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:40.200 that's a decrease of more than ten points. 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:45.200 In the last decade. Kind of interesting right there. Ten 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.840 point drop is not insignificant. Happened in a decade from 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.920 over sixty percent of adults who'd be willing to fight 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.320 for the country down to fifty percent. I just wonder 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.719 if that's a trend line that will continue that direction 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.480 in the next ten years and what that means, I. 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.560 Think it we'll continue in that direction. How far it goes, 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:05.800 I don't know, but I'm not shocked by that. Why 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:08.800 there has been a concerted effort by some of the 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.159 most powerful countries on earth to sow the seeds of 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:19.160 cynicism and internal conflict in a lot of countries. It's 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.640 worked to some extent in the United States. Even Russia 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.800 and China are both intensely interested in having us at 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:29.720 each other's throats all the time. You can read the 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:32.959 reports they've written, and the studies they've done, and the 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.800 experts that they consult to do that. It's a deliberate strategy. Yeah, 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:37.360
