Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Thirty six air traffic control facilities have reported staffing problems.
Speaker 2: That includes the towers at Chicago O'Hare, Dallasport War, Phoenix
Speaker 2: Sky Harbor, huge hubs for American airlines. You can also
Speaker 2: have the towers at San Francisco and lax.
Speaker 1: To the list.
Speaker 2: This is all on the heels of the worst weekend
Speaker 2: for air traffic control staffing since the shutdown began.
Speaker 1: One of the main points of the awful government shut down,
Speaker 1: of course, the air traffic controllers situation, the flight cancelations.
Speaker 1: Everybody is glad. The shutdown is just about over everybody
Speaker 1: but a lot of Democrats Apparently. I don't understand how
Speaker 1: a democratic center goes. Wow, we weren't really let me
Speaker 1: cave now. In terms of standing up to Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: the shutdown actually gave him more power, Exhibit A being
Speaker 1: what he's done with Snap and Snap benefits across the country.
Speaker 1: There's no way to defend this. You are right to
Speaker 1: be angry about it. I'm angry.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think this whole thing stinks, and I think
Speaker 3: most members of the House Caucus on the Democratic side
Speaker 3: are absolutely outrage Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans
Speaker 3: to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution.
Speaker 1: Into my mind, this was a very very bad vote. Wow.
Speaker 4: I read Mark Alpern's newsletter today, and usually he just
Speaker 4: got like a whole bunch of news items, but today
Speaker 4: it was a long kind of essay about the two
Speaker 4: political parties and how they both have this inner turmoil
Speaker 4: and it'll be interesting to see where it lands. You
Speaker 4: got the Republicans with the Tucker Fuenttes, Megan Kelly, you know,
Speaker 4: all that sort of stuff going on where there's a
Speaker 4: lot of energy, and then Democrats all the stuff we've
Speaker 4: just heard. Where got the AOC wing that wants to
Speaker 4: fight fight fight Trump and you know, Mom Donnie obviously
Speaker 4: and all that sort of stuff versus the older guard
Speaker 4: who wants But the main takeaway was, and I just
Speaker 4: saw John fetterman senator from Pennsylvania, who's got a book
Speaker 4: out right now. He's doing an interview on Fox and
Speaker 4: he said, nobody knows who's in charge of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: Halprin's point was the biggest difference between the two parties.
Speaker 4: While they do have their like energized base, doesn't agree
Speaker 4: with the people at the top thing going on with
Speaker 4: the Republican Party, no doubt. Where the gravity is on
Speaker 4: the Republican Party. Trump is the Earth, moon and sun
Speaker 4: of everything, for better or worse. And I'm not sure
Speaker 4: who's that has the advantage here, but one guy is
Speaker 4: clearly the leader of the Republican Party. Where's Democrats? Who
Speaker 4: has any idea there? Is it completely leaderless?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Hey, Michael hit me with forty two speaker
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson if that is his real name.
Speaker 3: The long national nightmare is almost coming to an end.
Speaker 3: Out it was long overdue, and the irony. It really
Speaker 3: was a shutdown about nothing. I mean, what we're voting
Speaker 3: on is effectively exactly what we offered them several weeks back.
Speaker 3: We've added some appropriations bills now, which we're in favor
Speaker 3: of because it's getting us back to the regular order.
Speaker 1: We'll take care of some other details.
Speaker 3: But I don't think Chuck Schumer got anything out of
Speaker 3: this other than a political show, And sadly, I think
Speaker 3: that's what he was after the whole time.
Speaker 1: And Honestly, the eight Democrats, the reasonable Senate Democrats who
Speaker 1: voted let's end this thing, are saying roughly the same thing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't working, We weren't getting anything done. It was
Speaker 1: just pain for no gain. And the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: editorial board points out that the air traffic thing, I mean,
Speaker 1: that would really really anger people.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we had three thousand cancellations Sunday, twenty five
Speaker 4: hundred yesterday already at something like two thousand to day.
Speaker 1: That's a lot, you know. And if folks are at
Speaker 1: day late for a vacation or they miss a business
Speaker 1: meeting or something, they're annoyed. But if you don't get
Speaker 1: to see your kids for Thanksgiving or whatever, the grand kids,
Speaker 1: and well you're gonna be freaking enraged anyway. But the
Speaker 1: over nothing, that's the thing, exactly, the Journal says, which
Speaker 1: makes the cynical fury aimed at the eight Senate defectors
Speaker 1: all the more remarkable. Pathetic, said California Governor Gavin Newsom. Rokana,
Speaker 1: another California Democrat with presidential lust, told Democratic Senate leader
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer to resign, even though Chuck Schumer voted against
Speaker 1: the advancing Deal, and then they make the point, and
Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty astute point. These Democrats
Speaker 1: know they're hiding behind their colleagues who voted to reopen,
Speaker 1: who at least extracted retroactive pay for federal workers that
Speaker 1: was always gonna happen, and the rehiring of those terminated
Speaker 1: during the shutdown. So you had eight standing up for
Speaker 1: the American people, so the rest could pretend to be
Speaker 1: brave pugilists against Trump.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one of the eight, one woman, said we
Speaker 4: were going to be in exactly the same situation in
Speaker 4: two weeks, so we might as well do it today,
Speaker 4: which I think is true, right right, And they risked
Speaker 4: losing what support they had, so anyway, good luck.
Speaker 1: Beat the hell out of each other for all I care.
Speaker 1: Do you think I was thinking after this as following
Speaker 1: us yesterday? I think this was the last shutdown for many,
Speaker 1: many men, many years, don't you think. Don't you think
Speaker 1: both sides have decided now, okay, this is just we
Speaker 1: get nothing out of this. The reasonable part of me thinks, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. The cynical part of me thinks, give
Speaker 1: it a month, give it a year and a half. Well,
Speaker 1: this is Sode'll decide it's a great idea.
Speaker 4: This thing that they're going to pass is only funding
Speaker 4: the government till the end of January.
Speaker 1: Right, so who knows? Great? Super So a couple of
Speaker 1: sort of related stories and I'll touch on them real
Speaker 1: quick and Jack we can talk about it if we
Speaker 1: want to flush them out. I thought this was super interesting.
Speaker 1: One of the writers at the Free Press, the real
Speaker 1: split on the right, influencers versus conservatives. It's not really
Speaker 1: about ideology or Israel. This is a battle between those
Speaker 1: who want votes and those who want views. The bomb chucky,
Speaker 1: click baity, passion stoking, you know, influencers versus the politico types.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to read more of it, because
Speaker 1: there's plenty of bomb checking and clickbaiting by political figures
Speaker 1: to these days. But yeah, yeah, step I see their point.
Speaker 1: But this was to me even more interesting and easy
Speaker 1: to understand. A lot of people have been talking about
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party's young men problem. It's lost tons of
Speaker 1: support from male voters eighteen to twenty nine. Here's the
Speaker 1: problem for Republicans. They've got a more severe version of
Speaker 1: the Democrats' demographic crisis. The GOP has lost an even
Speaker 1: greater shale share of female voters under thirty. And although
Speaker 1: Democrats are struggling, albeit pitifully, writes somebody or other who
Speaker 1: has this, this is pretty good writing Beckett Adams. They're
Speaker 1: struggling pitifully to win back those male votes. The right
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of its own predicament
Speaker 1: and doesn't have any plan to fix it. And they
Speaker 1: point out that women, young women vote more than young men.
Speaker 1: So it's probably a bigger problem for Republicans than it
Speaker 1: is even for Democrats. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, Do
Speaker 1: you flesh things out or flesh things out? It depends
Speaker 1: what you're doing. If you want to have more description
Speaker 1: than throwing us, you flesh things out, flush things out.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that would refer to. But if
Speaker 1: you got birds in a in a thicket and you're drawing,
Speaker 1: shoot them, you flush them out, You absolutely flush them out. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and then shoot them dead, yes, because birds are evil? Well,
Speaker 1: there they are government drones if it flies, its spies.
Speaker 1: The Republican Party struggled to retain young female voters was
Speaker 1: glaringly obvious again last week. Listen to this, would you please?
Speaker 1: Following the elections, in New York, New Virginia, New Jersey. Okay,
Speaker 1: so the whole Zoran Mamdani thing. He won eighty four
Speaker 1: percent of the vote among women eighteen to twenty nine.
Speaker 1: Now that's ideological capture. Wow, eighty four Mona Donie in
Speaker 1: New Jersey. And this one really caught my eye because
Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl was a pretty mediocre candidate if you followed
Speaker 1: that race, and Jack Chiderelli was said to be quite
Speaker 1: a good Republican candidate he almost won four years ago.
Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl won eighty one percent of the vote women
Speaker 1: age eighteen to twenty nine. Eighty one percent in Virginia,
Speaker 1: thoroughly mediocre governor candidate Abigail Spanberger won eighty one percent.
Speaker 1: And that scumbag who fantasized about shooting people in the
Speaker 1: head and watching children die in their arms sold two bullets,
Speaker 1: Jay Jones, he won seventy six percent of young women.
Speaker 1: That's something that is a huge trend. One more note
Speaker 1: afterward from Webroot and that fascinating. I almost promise that's fascinating.
Speaker 1: I almost did yesterday.
Speaker 4: Webroot's warning us all this time of year about fake
Speaker 4: emails about shipping this and that. I got one from
Speaker 4: said it was from UPS your package has been delayed
Speaker 4: or something like that, and I thought, what.
Speaker 1: I no, wait a second, I don't even have a
Speaker 1: package coming. What is this? Yeah, it's easy to fall
Speaker 1: for that stuff. I got to repeat what I said yesterday.
Speaker 1: You thought it was tracking, it turned out to be hacking.
Speaker 1: Rot to you by webroot rhymes, so you know it's
Speaker 1: true anyway. Yeah, there's so much scamming these days. It
Speaker 1: actually spikes spikes this time of year. That's why it's
Speaker 1: the time to protect yourself with webroot total protection, real
Speaker 1: time antivirus, firewall, password manager, even dark web monitoring VPN
Speaker 1: all in one.
Speaker 4: The dark web monitoring alone is worth it. You'll actually
Speaker 4: know if your info is being traded out there in
Speaker 4: the dark web. That that'd be good knowledge to have.
Speaker 4: Families can protect up to ten devices and ten identities with.
Speaker 1: One you know whatever you call it subscription rung. Cover
Speaker 1: your fanny and protect granny with webroots. Again, it's webroot rhymes.
Speaker 1: It's got to be true. Webroot dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1: This webroot dot com slash armstring. You get sixty percent
Speaker 1: off but only through that link. Webroot dot com. Slack
Speaker 1: armstrong life is Oh, I'm sorry, live a better digital
Speaker 1: life with Webroot. You can't screw up their big catchphrase,
Speaker 1: I apologize, So listen to this here with y'all. In
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election, women under thirty favored the
Speaker 1: lunkhead Kamala Harris over Trump by seventeen points seventeen point margin.
Speaker 1: In the midterms, women in this age group prefer Democrats
Speaker 1: over Republicans by a forty six point margin. Wow, how
Speaker 1: are we ever gonna get together and have relationships? Heterosexual
Speaker 1: relationships and babies? Going for this my favorite kind?
Speaker 4: Yes, if we divide this much along gender lines.
Speaker 1: Bohy, A'm torn by this next part. You're right, you're
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. We've done the we've talked about this
Speaker 1: before the polling. You don't have to go back very
Speaker 1: many years where it was pretty close to men and
Speaker 1: women tracked with different age groups. Men and women under
Speaker 1: certain age is about half each party. Then you get
Speaker 1: to it older than about half. Each party got more conservative.
Speaker 1: But now it's a complete split, right, right, So here's
Speaker 1: a real conflict for me instead of panic urgency, common
Speaker 1: reactions and conservative media and even GOP circles after These
Speaker 1: kind of electoral drubbings include mockery, disdain in general disregard
Speaker 1: that is correct, you've probably seen it before. The pundits
Speaker 1: joking and not joking that the Nineteenth Amendment was a mistake.
Speaker 1: Legislators dismissing the entire block is sad, childless spinsters, certain
Speaker 1: commentators claiming, based on electoral results, that there's no greater
Speaker 1: enemy of Western civilization than young women. The TV and
Speaker 1: podcast hosts ridiculing young female voters for being generally stupid.
Speaker 1: About that misguided, I don't know about stupid, yeah, misguided
Speaker 1: and crazed yeah yeah, in doctriname. But his point obviously
Speaker 1: is that the while the Democratics Democratic Party's attempt to
Speaker 1: reconnect with young men have thus far been deeply stupid
Speaker 1: and embarrassing, at least they're trying, and Republicans had better
Speaker 1: wake up and do the same. Man. AOC could lead
Speaker 1: quite the army, hot army place, probably wearing like leather boots,
Speaker 1: high highes, I don't know, goose stepping, I don't know, crowd,
Speaker 1: the crowd of followers. Yeah, like I said about AOC
Speaker 1: she's thickening up in her older age. Wow, that was terrible,
Speaker 1: and I apologize for it. Was there any ticket to
Speaker 1: That's how she got on TV in the first place?
Speaker 1: All right, here's your homework assignment. I picture her army
Speaker 1: wearing short shorts and the boots. I'm right, I've said
Speaker 1: something bad. You're right. What young women or young ish
Speaker 1: women of a conservative bent? How do we start to
Speaker 1: bring back women to sanity and even moderate politics, never
Speaker 1: mind make them into conservatives, just not communist communist Islamists.
Speaker 1: How do we craft the message? How do we do that?
Speaker 1: What would you suggest a Republican party? Drop us a
Speaker 1: note mail bag at Armstrong and Geddy dot com. Mail
Speaker 1: bag at Armstrong Geddy dot com. There's only one choice.
Speaker 4: You got to get the Marxists out of the schools
Speaker 4: that are teaching them this stuff.
Speaker 1: Amen. I don't know if there's any other way, true fact.
Speaker 4: Yeah, any thoughts on that, Like Joe said, email us
Speaker 4: more on the way stay here.
Speaker 5: I know we probably have quite a few nervous flyers today.
Speaker 5: It is perfectly understandable. I want to emphasize this aircraft
Speaker 5: not move a single inch. Let's put my co captain
Speaker 5: Michael and myself are absolutely certain it's safe to do,
Speaker 5: so top that off. Before I left the house on
Speaker 5: this trip, I little learned the word ice cream and
Speaker 5: she maybe make sure I promised her to get her
Speaker 5: ice cream when I get back home from the drip.
Speaker 5: That makes it nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing. I'd
Speaker 5: safe comes in to fake me that a little girl
Speaker 5: in her ice cream. Oh, I know you guys probably
Speaker 5: have some similar plans, maybe not tonight, but probably tomorrow
Speaker 5: afternoon with PI. Please feel free to join our wife
Speaker 5: fight and take care of picking out which place you
Speaker 5: guys are going to get ice cream or sho your
Speaker 5: friends and family text about what you guys do on
Speaker 5: the flight. It's gonna be short, should be a really
Speaker 5: nice day to go fly. We'll get you guys up
Speaker 5: there safely. Again, Thanks so much for your health here
Speaker 5: in the boarding process.
Speaker 4: Why not a way welcome for I kind of like
Speaker 4: the pilot saying I got a little girl who I
Speaker 4: care about I want to take care of, so I'm
Speaker 4: gonna do my best obviously, as opposed to wondering if
Speaker 4: they're despondent and thinking, you know, my life is a mess.
Speaker 4: It's never gonna get better muttering passages from the Koran.
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, I wasn't gonna go there. They there were
Speaker 1: a couple for that Malaysia air flight. There were a couple.
Speaker 1: There was an aegy at Bear flight anyway, but.
Speaker 4: That was that was despondent related, and they happened to
Speaker 4: be Muslim, wasn't it right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably? Yeah? Oh what was I gonna say? It
Speaker 1: seemed important? Oh yeah, you know, I had for a
Speaker 1: few years of my life when I first started to
Speaker 1: fly for business, a fear of flying that that was
Speaker 1: really annoying. And one of the things that helped me
Speaker 1: a couple of things, but one of them was looking
Speaker 1: at the pilot and co pilot and all the flight
Speaker 1: attendants and thinking they're doing this all day every day
Speaker 1: for a paycheck. It's gonna be okay. That helped.
Speaker 4: So when you get on the flight, you should ask
Speaker 4: the pilot so you you know, wife doing okay.
Speaker 1: That's your health, his career as rewarding as you'd hoped.
Speaker 1: You got a gambling problem or anything that's about to
Speaker 1: sneak up on you. No, cool, you ever use the
Speaker 1: words what's the point anyway? Everybody would be better off
Speaker 1: if I wasn't here. Have you ever said that? Lord? No, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to enjoy it. Flight. Thanks, I'm Tenny if
Speaker 1: you need me. So. The spectacular grift that was Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter is actually continuing, and really interesting information has
Speaker 1: emerged about the national Black Lives Matter organization and their finances.
Speaker 1: It's funny how it's just not finding its way to
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. But man, we've got some you're not
Speaker 1: gonna believe this stuff. Coming up in just a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes, I.
Speaker 4: Want to talk a little bit about Veterans Day. It
Speaker 4: is Veterans Day today, and I don't know if your
Speaker 4: kids are in school or not, but it is the
Speaker 4: holiday where we're supposed to anyway on our veterans and
Speaker 4: we will talk a.
Speaker 1: Little bit about that later. Excellent, looking forward to that
Speaker 1: and the original Veterans Day, the end of World War One,
Speaker 1: which I still find fascinating, partially the fact that we
Speaker 1: thought that that was the worst cataclysm that could ever
Speaker 1: happen on planet Earth and nothing like that would ever
Speaker 1: happen again. Boy were we wrong? Whoops? Yeah, And the
Speaker 1: fact that Europe is now in a gray zone. A
Speaker 1: leader just said, we're not at war, but we're definitely
Speaker 1: not at peace. Wow.
Speaker 4: Okay, we got a lot of stuff to get to.
Speaker 4: I hope you can stay here if you missed a
Speaker 4: segment and get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on the man.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: They're just looking at some video at Trump does the
Speaker 4: President of the United States. I shouldn't just call him
Speaker 4: Trump the President of the United States. It's in this
Speaker 4: context I call him Trump all the time. Now I'm
Speaker 4: gonna sneeze. How do you listen to this radio show?
Speaker 4: I'm all over the place.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is the rantings of a crazy person.
Speaker 4: I got a bird flu, a roof and mouth disease,
Speaker 4: or just good old fashioned gun area.
Speaker 1: It's hard to say Sean tries to shoot other men
Speaker 1: over an argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay?
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Can you blame him? Guy said four? That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Don't be messing around when we're talking about chickens. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me start over.
Speaker 4: The President, Donald Trump had a number of Veterans Day
Speaker 4: services that are going on today. My son himself here
Speaker 4: soon will be at our local cemetery as a boy scout,
Speaker 4: putting the little American flags on the graves of all
Speaker 4: the veterans, which I appreciate. My brother is a veteran,
Speaker 4: my dad too. My brother actually served in war zones
Speaker 4: several different times. And thank God for people who are
Speaker 4: willing to do that, because there's a whole bunch of
Speaker 4: people that aren't willing to do that, which we'll talk
Speaker 4: about more in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Recruitment has been fantastic. We didn't mention this, I.
Speaker 4: Don't think, just from a week or so ago when
Speaker 4: the news came out that we the Army met its
Speaker 4: fiscal year twenty twenty five active duty recruitment goal of
Speaker 4: sixty one thousand soldiers four months before the year ended,
Speaker 4: four months early. Marking is significant turnaround. I'm going to
Speaker 4: read this whatever this mainstream media explanation or this is
Speaker 4: marking a significant turnaround after failing to meet goals in
Speaker 4: previous years.
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, now you hit the goal
Speaker 1: four months early. This success is attributed to a combination
Speaker 1: of new strategies and offering a higher enlistment bonuses along
Speaker 1: with a renewed public interest in service. What do you
Speaker 1: think that renewed public interest in service is fighting for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's America or fighting for Donald Trump's America right
Speaker 1: of a party in a candidate who seemed ashamed of America,
Speaker 1: American power, the American place in the world, with a
Speaker 1: good dose of fighting in Joe Biden's military run by
Speaker 1: his people, or in Trump's military run by his people. Right,
Speaker 1: the woke social Experiment jobs program, that is, the military
Speaker 1: as opposed to this is going to be a lean,
Speaker 1: mean fighting machine, a force for good in the world. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to get off on that.
Speaker 4: So Veterans Day today, November eleventh, established because of this day.
Speaker 4: In nineteen eighteen was the end of World War One. Now,
Speaker 4: if you're a fan of World War One or seen
Speaker 4: any of the movies, it is horrifying to know that
Speaker 4: while a number of leaders on both sides knew the
Speaker 4: war was going to end, they still tried to fight
Speaker 4: one more battle so that they could get a little
Speaker 4: more credit with their home country for having taken another
Speaker 4: hill or whatever.
Speaker 1: With young men dying and having their arms blown off
Speaker 1: completely needlessly in a vanity project by people who didn't
Speaker 1: have to risk their skin. That's the sort of thing
Speaker 1: that makes pacifist pacifists pacifists are wrong and I'm a
Speaker 1: long way from a pacifist, but there is a great
Speaker 1: history military throughout the world of meaningless gestures that make
Speaker 1: men leaders feel good by wasting the lives of the
Speaker 1: young men. And I find it horrifying, absolutely horrifying. Bothers
Speaker 1: me a lot that that happens.
Speaker 4: Thank God that our culture is not like that to
Speaker 4: a great extent, like similar cultures have men And now
Speaker 4: I bring all that up to get to these numbers.
Speaker 4: With all that being known, recent Gallup International polls Gallop
Speaker 4: pretty much the gold standard of polling organizations in the world,
Speaker 4: asking whether or not adults globally would be willing to
Speaker 4: fight for their country.
Speaker 1: An interesting question on veterans a day.
Speaker 4: Overall for planet Earth, just over half of adults would
Speaker 4: be willing.
Speaker 1: To fight for their country. The most interesting thing is
Speaker 1: that's a decrease of more than ten points.
Speaker 4: In the last decade. Kind of interesting right there. Ten
Speaker 4: point drop is not insignificant. Happened in a decade from
Speaker 4: over sixty percent of adults who'd be willing to fight
Speaker 4: for the country down to fifty percent. I just wonder
Speaker 4: if that's a trend line that will continue that direction
Speaker 4: in the next ten years and what that means, I.
Speaker 1: Think it we'll continue in that direction. How far it goes,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm not shocked by that. Why
Speaker 1: there has been a concerted effort by some of the
Speaker 1: most powerful countries on earth to sow the seeds of
Speaker 1: cynicism and internal conflict in a lot of countries. It's
Speaker 1: worked to some extent in the United States. Even Russia
Speaker 1: and China are both intensely interested in having us at
Speaker 1: each other's throats all the time. You can read the
Speaker 1: reports they've written, and the studies they've done, and the
Speaker 1: experts that they consult to do that. It's a deliberate strategy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the reason I.
Speaker 4: Brought version, the reason I brought up that whole idea
Speaker 4: of you know, guys who are at the top of
Speaker 4: the hill with binoculars ordering young men to their deaths
Speaker 4: for vanity projects. That happens in other countries. Maybe more
Speaker 4: people are aware of that phenomenon around the world than
Speaker 4: they used to be. Like, it's not a United States problem,
Speaker 4: is a problem with lots of country though throughout history.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I have no idea, but break it
Speaker 4: down by region highest willingness to fight for your country.
Speaker 4: In West and West Asia, seventy seven percent in West
Speaker 4: Asia said they'd be willing to fight for their country,
Speaker 4: In the Middle East seventy three percent, So we're talking
Speaker 4: three quarters. India seventy six So all of those areas,
Speaker 4: by the way, that's like half the world population. There,
Speaker 4: all of those areas three quarters willing to die for
Speaker 4: the country. The lowest, very lowest, EU at thirty two percent,
Speaker 4: United States at forty one percent, Canada at thirty four
Speaker 4: So EU and Canada both down at a third, the
Speaker 4: United States at least up at forty one, closer to
Speaker 4: the world average.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you've got civilizations that are proud of themselves,
Speaker 1: believe in themselves, are willing to defend themselves, and and
Speaker 1: then you got civilizations who spend all their time hating themselves,
Speaker 1: criticizing themselves. And it's not surprising that people are not
Speaker 1: willing to die for those civilizations. Yeah, yeah, well, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's a symptom I think of extended long
Speaker 1: term comfort. If you live in a tough neighborhood where
Speaker 1: you have to defend yourself with your fists semi regularly,
Speaker 1: you're ready to do that. If you have lived in
Speaker 1: wealth and comfort your entire life. You see no reason
Speaker 1: to fight for your country? How would that happen? What
Speaker 1: are you talking about anyway? Wow, that's how really video
Speaker 1: games in which I pretend to fight for my country.
Speaker 1: That's a real lack of perspective.
Speaker 4: Obviously, I think you're right, but could you could easily
Speaker 4: think it should be flipped around? Things are so good here.
Speaker 4: We know how bad it can be by looking at
Speaker 4: you all over there, you and your ass whole countries.
Speaker 4: We don't want it to be like that. So I'm
Speaker 4: very willing to fight to hang on to this.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you would say think that, but especially if
Speaker 1: you have indoctrination factories in your government schools where they're
Speaker 1: being taught to hate their own country. You know, you've
Speaker 1: said many times, has there ever been a society that
Speaker 1: does this? Has there ever been the experiment run where
Speaker 1: you teach your youngsters to despise their own culture? Well,
Speaker 1: I this is definitely one of the results. You would get,
Speaker 1: right to be ashamed of their own culture. Right. Why
Speaker 1: would I fight for a country that's like the worst
Speaker 1: country on earth? Man, it's the most racist country on earth.
Speaker 1: As they said back in the Black Lives Matter days,
Speaker 1: and the internal finances of the Black Lives Matter organization
Speaker 1: are coming out. We'll tell you about that next segment.
Speaker 4: So it doesn't seem like much of a mystery to me.
Speaker 4: If you're going to look at those numbers in the
Speaker 4: globe over time, which societies are gonna be running the
Speaker 4: planet one hundred years from now? The ones where three
Speaker 4: quarters of their people are willing to fight for their
Speaker 4: country are the ones where a third of their people
Speaker 4: are willing to.
Speaker 1: Fight for their lifestyle. Right, this is not very complicated China.
Speaker 4: In China, on this Veterans Day, they go to the
Speaker 4: movie theater and watch movies and stand up in cheer loudly.
Speaker 4: I've read about this in a bunch of different ways.
Speaker 4: Movies where they're killing Americans or killing Europeans or whatever.
Speaker 1: We put out movies explaining how we're bad countries. We're
Speaker 1: a bad country. Yeah, it's just as astounding to me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It is. Heard Victor Davis Hansen talking the other day
Speaker 1: the Great Stage of Central California and the Hoover Institution,
Speaker 1: talking about and I'm paraphrasing here, but you know, as
Speaker 1: a variation on the idea that you may not be
Speaker 1: interested in politics. Politics is interested in you. And you
Speaker 1: might not believe in warfare, but warfair sure believes in
Speaker 1: you and your fat rich society. With all your stuff.
Speaker 1: You can disavow military preparedness and military strength all day long.
Speaker 1: Military strength is gonna come find you. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The good news is recruitment goals met. People feeling better
Speaker 4: about this country anyway. Probably can't turn Europe or Canada around,
Speaker 4: but feeling better about this country at least as of today.
Speaker 4: And a shout out to everyone who is a veteran
Speaker 4: who's willing to sign.
Speaker 1: Up for that project. Yeah, and your civilization unbelievable. That's
Speaker 1: quite a gap three quarters versus thirty percent Europe versus Asia. Wow. Boy,
Speaker 1: And you've got the the EU and Canada that have
Speaker 1: existed as the pampered pets of the United States military
Speaker 1: mite for a long time. They really really can't even
Speaker 1: picture fighting to defend themselves. Sad, that is something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of sad, Jimmy Kimmel's wife is angry all the time.
Speaker 1: And Black Lives Matter turns out it was a grift.
Speaker 1: Who knows, well, we did and we said so. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I've heard that Jimmy Kimble's life story. I want to
Speaker 1: talk about that all on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: And so this is Jimmy Kimble's wife, She said, a
Speaker 4: couple of things. That's getting a lot of tension. I
Speaker 4: actually haven't heard this yet.
Speaker 6: When I see these terrible stories every day, I'm immediately
Speaker 6: mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put him in power.
Speaker 6: And it's really hard and it's I wish I could
Speaker 6: like deprogram myself in some way, but I get really angry.
Speaker 6: And I've sent many emails to family, like right for
Speaker 6: the election, saying I'm begging you, here's the ten reasons
Speaker 6: not to vote for this guy.
Speaker 1: Please don't.
Speaker 6: And I either got ignored by ninety percent of them
Speaker 6: or got truly insane responses from with you.
Speaker 1: It's definitely caused a strain.
Speaker 6: I've definitely pulled in closer with the family that I
Speaker 6: feel more aligned with, and I hate that this has happened.
Speaker 6: You know, it feels silly, you know, the hardon goes.
Speaker 6: Don't let politics get in the way. But to me,
Speaker 6: this isn't politics. It's truly values, and we just were
Speaker 6: not a lot anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's literally politics. Yeah, she said, she felt deeply
Speaker 1: betrayed by relatives who back to President Trump, saying their
Speaker 1: vote was effectively a vote against her husband and family.
Speaker 4: That's an interesting way to look at it. This gets
Speaker 4: to the whole we think they're wrong, they think we're evil.
Speaker 1: Thing.
Speaker 4: When you can't sit down with people you think are evil,
Speaker 4: I can sit down with people I think are wrong.
Speaker 4: I don't want to talk about politics with you. I
Speaker 4: think you're wrong and we're never going to agree. But
Speaker 4: I don't think you're evil. So you being at Thanksgiving
Speaker 4: or whatever doesn't bother me. But how about her? I'd
Speaker 4: send them all a list of ten reasons not to
Speaker 4: vote for Trump, and some of them didn't even respond. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I love relatives just sending me emails out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Here's the ten reasons not to vote a certain way.
Speaker 1: Shut the hell up? Who asked you? Well, it's more
Speaker 1: surpised that she ordered them not to vote for Trumpy.
Speaker 1: Shut up. Oh that is something, so oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's so annoying. Good word. Yeah, I'm happy not to
Speaker 1: be with you at Thanksgiving. Trust me. If this is
Speaker 1: the way you're gonna be good Lord. Yes, severing all
Speaker 1: those family relationships we had to get your priorities straight, sweetheart.
Speaker 1: And it's not about politics. Yeah, it is. It is.
Speaker 1: You've just become a mad woman about politics. Anyway. We
Speaker 1: all remember the name Patrise Colors, right, black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: co founder. We're trained Marxists, she said in that famous interview,
Speaker 1: and then the media ignored the fact that they're Marxists
Speaker 1: during virtually their entire reign of terror over corporate America.
Speaker 1: According to the latest tax returns obtained by the Washington
Speaker 1: Free Beacon, she resigned in twenty twenty one, but the
Speaker 1: charity suffered from the excesses of her tenure well into
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Now under colors leadership, Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: Global Network Foundation doled out massive contracts to her friends
Speaker 1: and family. They purchased a six million dollar mansion in
Speaker 1: la in twenty twenty, financed the purchase of an eight
Speaker 1: million dollar mansion in Canada in twenty twenty one. Wow.
Speaker 1: By the end of its fiscal twenty twenty three year,
Speaker 1: tax forms show Black Lives Matter saw the eighty million
Speaker 1: dollar windfall it raked in during the George Floyd riots
Speaker 1: from idiot corporations that were just desperate to be on
Speaker 1: the right side of this. That eighty million dollars turned
Speaker 1: into twenty nine million dollars in three years as it
Speaker 1: hemorrhaged cash fulfilling lingering contractual obligations to Colors associates. For instance,
Speaker 1: Damon Turner Colors Baby Daddy, whose art firm Trap Heels,
Speaker 1: received seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars in twenty twenty three, okay,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighty grand despite performing no work for
Speaker 1: the charity that year.
Speaker 4: So we know people personally who lost their careers for
Speaker 4: saying all lives matter during that crazy period.
Speaker 1: You know who doesn't think black lives matter? Of those
Speaker 1: people who spent all that money on their houses and
Speaker 1: their cars and their lifestyle, they don't care about black lives. God,
Speaker 1: I care for money more. That's quite the situation. Other
Speaker 1: staffers from the Colors here received massive payouts on their
Speaker 1: way out of Black Lives Matter. Former BLM Director of
Speaker 1: Operations Raymond Howard and a consulting firm run by his
Speaker 1: sister received a one point one million dollar payment in
Speaker 1: the group's twenty twenty three fiscal years they went out.
Speaker 1: The Door group also disclosed two separate six figure settlement
Speaker 1: agreements to unnamed former employees in its financial statements. One
Speaker 1: BLM board member received four hundred thousand dollars is part
Speaker 1: of one settlement agreement. Another unnamed former employee got three
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five and another They just said it
Speaker 1: was confidential HR and legal matters matters, and what the
Speaker 1: hell do they care? So it's just a grift, so
Speaker 1: they don't mind making payouts.
Speaker 4: So there are a number of organizations current, including a
Speaker 4: church near me that I see Black Lives Matter signs
Speaker 4: all the time. This church their front like when you
Speaker 4: pull into their driveway, they're big. You know the name
Speaker 4: of their church right undernath that big wooden Black lives matter.
Speaker 4: So what would you do if you were on their
Speaker 4: side of this argument? You believe black men are being
Speaker 4: hunted down by white racist cops, et cetera, et cetera,
Speaker 4: You believe in that idea that raised the money in
Speaker 4: the first place, What would you do? I mean, that's
Speaker 4: a pretty good phrase, black lives matter, right Like when
Speaker 4: I see it, I just I roll my eyes and
Speaker 4: think nice having a sign up by a bunch of thieves,
Speaker 4: Marxist thieves, which is a repetitive What would you do though,
Speaker 4: I mean the phrase is too good to abandon.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they're still trying to do their thing. They're
Speaker 1: running large deficits right now as they spend money like crazy.
Speaker 1: Well have they weeded out all the thieves now? I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Again, we twenty twenty three is the
Speaker 1: most recent records we have, But like Paul Colors, Patrice
Speaker 1: Color's brother Or received two hundred grand and twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three as Black Lives Matters head of security in his company,
Speaker 1: Black Ties, LLC earned an additional one point six million
Speaker 1: dollars providing professional security services for the charity.
Speaker 4: Isn't that an interesting statement about human nature? Because I
Speaker 4: assume they were really into this when it started, the
Speaker 4: fact that black men were dying at the hands of
Speaker 4: white racist cops, and then very quickly checks start rolling
Speaker 4: in and you very quickly abandon your concern about that
Speaker 4: and decide I need a six million dollar house. That's
Speaker 4: something about human nature. Yeah, And they're suing the Tides Foundation,
Speaker 4: the left wing dark money giant. The lawsuit LEDs alleges
Speaker 4: Tides refused to hand back the more than thirty three
Speaker 4: million dollars it raised on behalf of Black lives Matter.
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty, Tides says it has the ultimate control,
Speaker 4: et cetera. Where there's money, there's theft, And there.
Speaker 1: Was a tremendous money, the amount of money that flowed
Speaker 1: into that organization, and they were beset by thieves, Well
Speaker 1: they were run by thieves, run by Marxist thieves. But
Speaker 1: again that's a repetitive. It's for me how Marxists always
Speaker 1: ended up getting rich. One of the great grifts of
Speaker 1: all time, that whole organization. If you miss a segment
