Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty and he
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty. We were talking about Tiger Woods and
Speaker 2: how news came out that he had a couple of
Speaker 2: hydro codones in his pocket when he rolled his vehicle
Speaker 2: the other day. And I was saying, is that the
Speaker 2: thing Rush Limbaugh was on? Doctor friend of mine texted
Speaker 2: me oxy codone is what Rush was on. Oxy. I
Speaker 2: didn't know this oxy is ten times stronger than hydro codone.
Speaker 3: Now that you mentioned that, Yeah, Hydra's low the one
Speaker 3: I had after.
Speaker 2: So I didn't know that they weren't even close to
Speaker 2: the same strength. I've had hydro codon. I think when
Speaker 2: I had cancer I had to take one once, But
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever taken oxy. That's interesting. Remember
Speaker 2: when I love the way we go, we swing so
Speaker 2: far one direction on the other Remember when we had
Speaker 2: six figures worth of people dying from these things because
Speaker 2: pharmacies around the country were just giving them to anybody randomly,
Speaker 2: and it was just it was just out of control. Well,
Speaker 2: now we went so far the other direction. My son
Speaker 2: is on one drug that could be addictive, and you
Speaker 2: just cannot You can get thirty days at a time,
Speaker 2: and you have to wait until the full thirty days
Speaker 2: are up until you can get the next prescription. Can't
Speaker 2: overlap by a day, and then sometimes they're busy and
Speaker 2: you can't get it. And I'm Michael, what are you supposed
Speaker 2: to do? You can't skip a day. But they just
Speaker 2: got to strict rules because you could get addicted, and
Speaker 2: just so unreasonably far the other direction, why can't we
Speaker 2: manage things in any sensible way?
Speaker 3: Government does two things, nothing and overreact.
Speaker 2: Correct. I remember you saying that many eight years ago,
Speaker 2: and that is one hundred percent true. So I've been
Speaker 2: complaining a lot about the media coverage of the war.
Speaker 2: I think it's by far the biggest story in the world.
Speaker 2: And like Sunday, I faced the nation. They didn't get
Speaker 2: to it for eighteen minutes. To start face the nation,
Speaker 2: they talked about TSA lines, and they talked about shut down,
Speaker 2: and they talked about some other thing I didn't care
Speaker 2: about before they got to the war. Like seriously, John
Speaker 2: Stewart on The Daily Show thinks it's ridiculous that the
Speaker 2: media isn't getting to the war more often and treating
Speaker 2: it with more seriousness. Also, his conclusion about the war
Speaker 2: is different than mine, but the coverage he's got the
Speaker 2: same point of view. What else is being blocked? It's
Speaker 2: getting harder to get food that comes with pistachios.
Speaker 4: You can't make to buy chocolate bars.
Speaker 5: Oh no, what will our influencers stand in line to
Speaker 5: pretend to.
Speaker 2: Eat to buy chocolate?
Speaker 5: By god, that's been an American staple for tens of days.
Speaker 2: I can't believe how the news has to.
Speaker 5: Frame world events to try and make Americans care. The
Speaker 5: whole region is being flattened. Innocent people are dying, They're
Speaker 5: food and fuel are in total chaos, and our news
Speaker 5: is like, if this goes on any longer, say goodbye
Speaker 5: to your stuffed crust pizza.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I don't agree with his thought
Speaker 2: on the war, but they do. They have to come
Speaker 2: up with these gases expensive, So that's why you should
Speaker 2: get there's a freaking war going on that could go
Speaker 2: any direction at anymoy anyway. John Stewart goes on.
Speaker 6: It turns out there is another key material being affected
Speaker 6: by the war in Iran, fertilizer.
Speaker 2: There could be helium shortages. Yes, the gas that is
Speaker 2: used in party balloons.
Speaker 7: What the fuck?
Speaker 5: Halium is a fundamental gas used in the production of
Speaker 5: advanced chip technology. You don't have to dumb it down
Speaker 5: to make us. Oh, this war could be even bad
Speaker 5: for your promposals.
Speaker 2: Like, come on, I agree. Wow, that is shocking.
Speaker 3: That is I mean, I thought I was cynical enough.
Speaker 2: The same guess that's used to fillip party bella.
Speaker 3: Is Yeah, we know, ay, ay, we know, b that's
Speaker 3: not the problem at all. Helium's incredibly important to high
Speaker 3: tech production of chips at center as he mentioned.
Speaker 2: Well, all those things he mentioned though, including to me
Speaker 2: the price of gas. If chocolate bars go away and
Speaker 2: gas gets way more expensive than we'd like. The war's
Speaker 2: either a good idea, it's not. Let's discuss it on
Speaker 2: the merits of being at war with another major country
Speaker 2: or not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about the whole major malevolent power exporting jihad
Speaker 3: around the world, killing more of our soldiers than any
Speaker 3: other country. And I mean, we'll get to the chocolate
Speaker 3: and the party balloons if you want to, But can
Speaker 3: we take a look.
Speaker 2: At that picture first?
Speaker 3: That is astonishingly I'd say it's condescending, but maybe they
Speaker 3: just know where their viewers.
Speaker 2: Are trying desperately. I'm guessing that, and I'm surprised to
Speaker 2: see Yes face the nation. That's barry wise. I'm sure
Speaker 2: she cares about the war. Maybe they've got data that says, hey,
Speaker 2: people just don't care.
Speaker 3: Well. Either that or she just hasn't gotten to face
Speaker 3: the nation because nobody watches it.
Speaker 2: The we get several texts of oh my god, you
Speaker 2: guys are talking about Iran again. Ignore them because I
Speaker 2: think it's a really, really important story. But some of
Speaker 2: you feel that way.
Speaker 3: Fine, good, great, some of them are dressing up as
Speaker 3: furry animals and having sex.
Speaker 2: And maybe they need conversion therapy. Was my transition to
Speaker 2: I know, I just I'm beyond helping Michael.
Speaker 3: I may't need the paddles, go out to the lobby.
Speaker 2: Might need thee get the paddles again already on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Usually we don't have to bring out to the paddles
Speaker 2: till like Thursday or Friday. My will to live has
Speaker 2: gone solo. I need Claire.
Speaker 3: All right, here's the Oh my god, this is not
Speaker 3: going to help me at all. The Supreme Court made
Speaker 3: an absolutely fantastic ruling eight to one. I'll explain why
Speaker 3: I'm struggling with this in a moment, saying that a
Speaker 3: Christian counselor in Colorado who challenged a ban on mental
Speaker 3: health counseling for either transgender confused kids or in some
Speaker 3: cases gay kids or whatever, that you can't restrict that
Speaker 3: for First Amendment reasons. It's the lost censor speech. Based
Speaker 3: on viewpoint Justice gors trote in the majority opinion, Colorado
Speaker 3: may regard its policies essential public health and safety. Certainly
Speaker 3: cinsorious governments throughout history have believed the same, But the
Speaker 3: First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to
Speaker 3: enforce orthodoxy and thought or speech in this country. Hagen
Speaker 3: wrote a concurring opinion. She went at it a little
Speaker 3: bit differently from a legal point of view.
Speaker 2: It was eight to one.
Speaker 3: Katanji Brown Marxist, was against, as she wrote, the only
Speaker 3: descent her descent was longer than the court's opinion and
Speaker 3: Kagan's concurrence combined.
Speaker 2: Wow, even the other liberal justices have to be rolling
Speaker 2: their eyes at her behind the scenes, don't they, right?
Speaker 3: And I scanned her reasoning and essentially and Oh my god,
Speaker 3: you want to talk about a slippery slope. This is
Speaker 3: this is you know, I don't know, one of those
Speaker 3: old playground slides covered with k y jelly. I mean
Speaker 3: it is a slippery slope.
Speaker 2: She said.
Speaker 3: Well, because the state has an interest in regulating medical professionals,
Speaker 3: then they can regulate speech medical professionals. And like, oh,
Speaker 3: for God's sake, the state regulates freaking everything at this point,
Speaker 3: so barbers can be barred from, you know, speaking out
Speaker 3: against democrats by your insane postmodernist reasoning. Anyway, here's the
Speaker 3: reason I was not completely enthusiastic about bringing you this story.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I expected it out of the New
Speaker 3: York Times. Upset closed for some reason.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court onto oh oh oh, sorry, you need
Speaker 3: to know this. This case is about the gender bending madness,
Speaker 3: especially for kids. These kids who are autistic, or they
Speaker 3: are victims of sexual abuse, or they are merely misfits.
Speaker 3: They want to be somebody else. They're not comfortable in
Speaker 3: their own skin. They have the sort of ankst that
Speaker 3: adolescents always always have, some more than others.
Speaker 2: God bless them.
Speaker 3: And as the dad of an autistic kid, I can
Speaker 3: tell you that angst is suffocating. At times, these counselors say, hey,
Speaker 3: before we start feeding you hormones or talk about surgeries
Speaker 3: or transitioning, let's talk about what's going on in your life.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about what going on in your heart and
Speaker 3: mind for a while before we go down that road.
Speaker 2: Would that be Okay?
Speaker 3: That's what this counseling is, and it's being called conversion
Speaker 3: counseling by the transgender activists because they want people to
Speaker 3: think of that like fundamentalist religious thing where you would
Speaker 3: tell a gay boy you can't be gay because that's
Speaker 3: against God. Here's a woman get with a woman, you
Speaker 3: can't be gay, when those are two very different things,
Speaker 3: although they're both protected by the First Amendment. In my
Speaker 3: mind or in my opinion. Okay, so that's what the
Speaker 3: counseling is. Let's talk about what some of the other
Speaker 3: problems might be in your life, and we'll get to
Speaker 3: the transgender thing. Here's how it's characterized in the New
Speaker 3: York Times. The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a
Speaker 3: Christian therapist, rejecting a Colorado law that prohibited mental health
Speaker 3: professionals from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender
Speaker 3: identity of LGBTH minors. They characterize that caring patient actually
Speaker 3: looking at the underlying problems is quote unquot vote trying
Speaker 3: to change the sexual orientation of minors.
Speaker 2: And then I look at the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a Christian counselor
Speaker 3: who challenged the band blah blah blah on mental health
Speaker 3: counseling that seeks to change young people's sexual orientation or
Speaker 3: gender identity. The New York Times, written by Anne E. Merrimo,
Speaker 3: who has a died in the world progressive in the
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal, handed this assignment over to James Rossimer,
Speaker 3: who apparently is of the same ilk or. Because big
Speaker 3: time journalists exist in a journalistic bubble too, you wouldn't
Speaker 3: think they would.
Speaker 2: That's what they think this is. They just don't know.
Speaker 3: Colorado law targets what is colloquially known as conversion therapy. No,
Speaker 3: it's called conversion therapy by transgender activists.
Speaker 2: Change you, jackass. Do you call it conversion therapy? When
Speaker 2: the teachers counselors at school are trying to convince your
Speaker 2: little girl she's.
Speaker 3: A boy and then tell her, let's not tell your parents.
Speaker 3: They don't need to know about this. That's not conversion therapy.
Speaker 3: Excellent point. Oh my god, only could justice Katanji Brown
Speaker 3: Jackson dissented in this eight to on er. I mean,
Speaker 3: for God's sakes, you'd think the journalists in the Wall
Speaker 3: Street Journal in the New York Times would say, holy crap.
Speaker 2: Eight to one. Maybe I ought to look into this, right,
Speaker 2: Why was it nearly unanimous? But no, I could see
Speaker 2: you right in that headline. If it was a five
Speaker 2: four you didn't agree with maybe, but it's eight one.
Speaker 2: You gotta think, well, okay, I must be missing something
Speaker 2: here if you have the point of view of your headline.
Speaker 3: KJP warned of the broader implications for medical care. She
Speaker 3: said could be catastrophic if states cannot regulate some kinds
Speaker 3: of speech by licensed professionals.
Speaker 2: And I quote this decision might.
Speaker 3: Make speech only therapies and other medical treatments involving practitioner
Speaker 3: speech effective unregulatable, she wrote, criticizing her eight colleagues for
Speaker 3: having made quote this momentous decision without adequately grappling with
Speaker 3: the potential long term and disastrous implications. Hey, I almost
Speaker 3: said something disparaging.
Speaker 2: Why would I do that? I'm a grown man.
Speaker 3: Hey, Justice Jackson, you don't get to regulate speech based
Speaker 3: on what you perceive to be long term implications. You
Speaker 3: fundamentally misunderstand the First Amendment. It exists to protect speech you.
Speaker 2: Think will lead to people thinking the wrong thing. That's
Speaker 2: why it exists.
Speaker 3: Well one won the right direction, Yeah it did. God,
Speaker 3: you cannot hate the media enough.
Speaker 2: End of rant. There is a mass exodus out of
Speaker 2: La County, California, and generally but specific La County among
Speaker 2: things we can talk about if you can stick around. Oh,
Speaker 2: ratings out. Trump's got the lowest approval rating he's had
Speaker 2: of this term. Is it because of the war? I
Speaker 2: think it's the economy.
Speaker 3: Well it's both, and the war is feeding into the economy,
Speaker 3: Sure of course it is. And more later stay here.
Speaker 4: The FBI says that that terror attack on the Detroit
Speaker 4: Synagogue was inspired by Hesbelah, that their propaganda is believed
Speaker 4: to be what fueled I'm in Mohammad Ghazzali to search
Speaker 4: for quote, the largest gathering of Israelis in Michigan to
Speaker 4: purchase fireworks, approximately three hundred bullets, and an ar fifteen
Speaker 4: sending a video to his sister just ten minutes before
Speaker 4: the attack, saying he would quote kill as many of
Speaker 4: them as I possibly can.
Speaker 2: It's just luck that we still aren't as a country
Speaker 2: talking about this every single day, because that guy went
Speaker 2: in there and killed fifty little Jewish kids, that that
Speaker 2: was his intent.
Speaker 3: There is a candidate for the Senate in Michigan who
Speaker 3: was I've got somewhere, Yeah, he said on a conference
Speaker 3: call with his media people.
Speaker 2: Look, I can't condemn that shooting.
Speaker 3: It'd be dangerous for me because he's got to get
Speaker 3: he's a Muslim and he wants the Muslim vote.
Speaker 2: So we'll just if.
Speaker 3: If anybody brings it up, I'm going to say Trump
Speaker 3: is just trying.
Speaker 2: To distract from the Epstein files.
Speaker 3: So here's a Muslim candidate who couldn't bring himself to
Speaker 3: condemn the near mass murder of little children.
Speaker 2: What does that tell you? And by the way, as
Speaker 2: is pointed out often, that's what globalized the Intafada is
Speaker 2: and we have college kids chanting that around the country
Speaker 2: and we just let that go. I mean, you have
Speaker 2: to let it go. It's free speech, but don't critique it. Really,
Speaker 2: that's globalizing the into fada, right right. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I can two stories this. Abdul l Sied
Speaker 2: said he couldn't comment on.
Speaker 3: The death of the Ayatol law because a lot of
Speaker 3: people are sad, so I'll just change it to pedophile.
Speaker 3: President decides he doesn't like the front page news and
Speaker 3: there was a different story about a similar fellow, saying,
Speaker 3: I can't condemn that. I gotta be careful. I'll bring
Speaker 3: you the facts on that eventually. So saw the story
Speaker 3: break yesterday, didn't read about it.
Speaker 2: And it normally only matters if you drive around La
Speaker 2: much or you're gonna be there on vacation. They're going
Speaker 2: to build this twenty four billion dollars high speed tunnel
Speaker 2: underneath the four H five Freeway that could change commutes
Speaker 2: drastically around La from the way they've been for many,
Speaker 2: many decades. Project will probably cost twice as much, three
Speaker 2: times five times as much as supposed to and take
Speaker 2: forever to finish, but it gets done, it could really
Speaker 2: change LA traffic. Funny that that's happening at the same
Speaker 2: time that the population is shrinking shrinking in La County,
Speaker 2: though tens of thousands of residents are fleeing La County.
Speaker 2: The region recorded the largest population drop of any in
Speaker 2: the nation over the last year of US Census data.
Speaker 2: About fifty four thousand residents left the county during that
Speaker 2: one year period, continuation of a steady slide for the
Speaker 2: biggest most populated county in America. Once home to more
Speaker 2: than ten million people in twenty twenty, it's now nine
Speaker 2: point seven million. Yellow's three hundred thousand people. Your commute's
Speaker 2: gonna get better. Yeah, maybe I want to hold off
Speaker 2: on that tunnel and see if with you just don't
Speaker 2: need it anymore. So is it going to be like
Speaker 2: an express tunnel just no entrances and exits. It's just
Speaker 2: if you're going downtown, that sort of thing. I didn't
Speaker 2: read up on it, but it's interesting that it'll probably
Speaker 2: never exist. Like the bullet rain, you'd think there'd be
Speaker 2: more attention paid to why is our population shrinking for
Speaker 2: the first time ever? For the state of California and
Speaker 2: for La County in particular Los Angeles, A thousand cops.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3: I found the facts about that Michigan Democrat thing. I
Speaker 3: will back up what I said. It sounded outrageous, didn't it.
Speaker 3: It was true. Much more to come, including a fair
Speaker 3: amount of humor, so stay tuned. If you can't stay tuned,
Speaker 3: subscribe to the.
Speaker 7: Podcast Armstrong and Getty from.
Speaker 3: The good folks at the Babylon b When California Liberals
Speaker 3: getting invited to a Texas backyard BBQ, Thanks.
Speaker 2: So much for inviting us.
Speaker 8: We've never been to a real backyard barbecue before.
Speaker 2: You need to meet the host. Oh yeah, nice folks.
Speaker 2: This is Clay. Hey, how you doing it? I'm timpany?
Speaker 2: She her Steve he him. So I heard you guys
Speaker 2: moved back to California. Actually, is that true?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: We did. When we got there, squatters were in our
Speaker 2: homes and by state law, we can't evict them for months,
Speaker 2: so we moved back.
Speaker 8: We had no real right to the house anyways, it
Speaker 8: being on the traditional and unseated homelands of the Tongva,
Speaker 8: Shumash and kitsch people's.
Speaker 2: Huh, Well, we are about to eat, so we're going
Speaker 2: to say a few works. Use acknowledgement, grace, I don't
Speaker 2: get it, pray oh like the emoji?
Speaker 7: All right, everybody, why don't you guys come on over.
Speaker 2: Let's take care, take our hats off its bow, our heads.
Speaker 7: Now, poor god, heavenly father or mother. We just pray
Speaker 7: bless this meat we are about to eat in the
Speaker 7: name of.
Speaker 2: Jesus, who was a person of color. Everybody said, we're
Speaker 2: going to say a few words before we eat. Oh
Speaker 2: a land use acknowledgement. Oh my god, where did I
Speaker 2: read one of those? Just yesterday? Where was I? Anyway?
Speaker 3: And I was trained as lost its mind with that stuff.
Speaker 3: I was screaming at this plaque. Yeah, who had it
Speaker 3: before them?
Speaker 2: I guarantee you somebody had it before this tribe you
Speaker 2: just mentioned Garanteed and.
Speaker 3: This tribe on the plaque probably took it by force,
Speaker 3: or if they didn't, it's it's really immaterial anyway. So
Speaker 3: what do you mean Canada has lost their mind on that? Oh,
Speaker 3: the whole land acknowledgment thing, the whole wokeism thing. It
Speaker 3: is still twenty twenty two in Canada, and maybe worse.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk about that another time.
Speaker 3: But although we do have some very amusing audio from
Speaker 3: Canada's New Democratic Party, which is some ascendant lefty party
Speaker 3: at their meeting. Hilarious more later.
Speaker 2: So I know this makes me a pain in the ass,
Speaker 2: and I'll keep this short, but just because it's I'm
Speaker 2: looking up at CNN right now, gas hits four dollars
Speaker 2: per gallon for the first time since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: That is just flat out not true in reality because
Speaker 2: of inflation. We've had so much inflation that four dollars
Speaker 2: today is three fifty eight and twenty twenty two dollars
Speaker 2: just twenty twenty two, not nineteen seventy. Yeah, yeah, nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety two or any distance. No, just a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. So for it to hit four dollars for
Speaker 2: the first time in twenty twenty two dollars, which you're
Speaker 2: claiming it is, I mean, that's what you're stating. It's
Speaker 2: got to get to four forty seven, which I think
Speaker 2: it probably will in a couple of weeks. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's just inaccurate, and it drives me crazy since
Speaker 2: you're making a big deal out of Plus, everybody should
Speaker 2: be aware of how much inflation we've had in the
Speaker 2: last half dozen years.
Speaker 3: You're jokingly referring to yourself as Captain Pedantic earlier, but no,
Speaker 3: I think it's an excellent point. So not only is
Speaker 3: the news item just misleading, it's fundamentally misleading. It also
Speaker 3: papers over for reasons I can't imagine the insidious effects
Speaker 3: of inflation and how government fiscal policy monetary policy causes inflation,
Speaker 3: which is like a massive tax on your savings and
Speaker 3: your pay.
Speaker 2: You'd think people would want to know that he used,
Speaker 2: he used to need an inflation calculator app or whatever.
Speaker 2: But now all your all your chats can do it.
Speaker 2: All your chat app thing, ease your your what are
Speaker 2: they called ais, All your ais can do it. So
Speaker 2: just do it. And this is depressing. It is depressing,
Speaker 2: and I don't know when you're in the mood to
Speaker 2: be depressed. Yeah, but it's it's disillusioning in a positive way.
Speaker 2: It's informative. But like if you have in your mind
Speaker 2: what a million dollars is based on, like I don't know,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five, check and see what it is. Now,
Speaker 2: just help help you realize what you've actually got in
Speaker 2: your you know, the value of your home or your
Speaker 2: four to one k or whatever.
Speaker 3: Let's use the numbers just to keep it simple, like
Speaker 3: the ones you're bandying about. So four dollars gasoline is actually.
Speaker 2: What did you say? It is? Three fifty eight?
Speaker 3: Okay, So my four hundred thousand dollars in investments is
Speaker 3: now worth three hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: In four years.
Speaker 3: It's worth declined that much because you know, I know,
Speaker 3: and both parties are absolutely complicit, but mostly because of
Speaker 3: the Biden gigantic trillions of dollars of infusiona currency during COVID.
Speaker 2: They stole that money.
Speaker 3: From you, and for whatever reason, journalists are too dumb
Speaker 3: or incurious or ignorant or something to point that out
Speaker 3: to you. It's just frustrating. I don't want to bring
Speaker 3: everybody down. Oh my god, the next thing I was
Speaker 3: about to do is even more depressing career. It'll change tack. Here,
Speaker 3: got a couple of sports notes.
Speaker 2: I want to get to maybe next segment, how the
Speaker 2: whole robot umpire thing is going. Also, Lebron with another first.
Speaker 2: He seems to have one like weekly in this his
Speaker 2: last couple of months of his career.
Speaker 3: Hey, here's a little on air meeting of us and
Speaker 3: everybody listening. This is the sort of thing in the
Speaker 3: modern world nobody wants, and yet probably because the lawyers,
Speaker 3: nobody can do anything about. Here's this Orlando, Florida hospital,
Speaker 3: got some woman in room three seventy three. She was
Speaker 3: in the hospital for a medical treatment. Well, that's a
Speaker 3: good reason to be admitted to a hospital as reasons go.
Speaker 3: But anyway, on October the sixth, it was determined she
Speaker 3: no longer needed acute care services and they told her
Speaker 3: you're a discharge. You can go now, and she's like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not leaving.
Speaker 2: I like it here. This was October of last year,
Speaker 2: and they can't make her go. The hospital has repeatedly
Speaker 2: made efforts to coordinate her departure with family members, offered transportation,
Speaker 2: to obtain necessary identification whatever, and the lady ke said, no,
Speaker 2: I like it here. I'm saying this is you're going
Speaker 2: to keep feeding me and the rest of it.
Speaker 3: And instead of heaving her out on her ass, having
Speaker 3: a couple of big burly orderlies pick her up by
Speaker 3: the elbows and dump her out the front door, they
Speaker 3: feel like they can't do anything about it.
Speaker 2: Wow, and that's costing somebody tens of thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: a day, I would guess, well, especially because the lawyers
Speaker 2: are now involved. The talent Hassi Memorial Healthcare.
Speaker 3: Has now sued the patient, saying she's refused to work
Speaker 3: her hospital room I can't last October.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that there's not some sort of thing
Speaker 2: you sign all that paperwork when you get in that
Speaker 2: includes when we determine you're better, you gotta get.
Speaker 3: Out well right right, And she says, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: have an attorney, I'm representing myself. And no, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to sign those papers. No I'm not even gonna
Speaker 3: even respond to them.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 3: According to a federal agency, hospitals can be investigated by
Speaker 3: the FEDS for violations of treating patients when they need it.
Speaker 3: The patient can be discharged when the clinicians have determined
Speaker 3: any further care could be provided as an outpatient. Blah
Speaker 3: blah blah. But there's nothing about it. And but if
Speaker 3: she won't leave, you can eat her ass out. I'm
Speaker 3: telling you. I realize its kind of a semi amusing story,
Speaker 3: but that isn't that a symptoms being of.
Speaker 2: Medical care of terrible dysfunction?
Speaker 3: Well, and the joke in the Babylon b bit about well,
Speaker 3: there's squatter's in our home and we can't get rid
Speaker 3: of them for many months selling move back, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mustay all right, just to prove I didn't make
Speaker 3: up something as incredibly outrageous as what I said. If
Speaker 3: I lost it again here it is, hang on a
Speaker 3: second stand bye. A Michigan Democrat campaigning for a US
Speaker 3: Senate seat opened up about how it was a risk
Speaker 3: for him to condemn the local attack on a synagogue
Speaker 3: full of small children, but he did anyway. It was
Speaker 3: a risk, he said. All of our team was really
Speaker 3: worried about saying something. But leadership is willing to say
Speaker 3: the thing if you believe it to be true that
Speaker 3: nobody else is going to say.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: And Nelly Bowls of the Free Press makes a point
Speaker 3: which is a nice point about leadership, I guess. But
Speaker 3: can we go back to that part where everybody was
Speaker 3: worried about condemning an attempted mass casualty event on children
Speaker 3: to understand how fast the rhetoric has shifted toward mass
Speaker 3: murder of American Jews. This is what counts as a
Speaker 3: brave stance now, So this Mom Abdul al Sayad is
Speaker 3: actually there's a very funny story about him too. He
Speaker 3: wouldn't comment on the death of the Ayatola because many
Speaker 3: of his constituents or would be constituents were sad and
Speaker 3: he felt like it was a real act of courage
Speaker 3: to condemn a near mass casualty of little children because
Speaker 3: he's a Muslim and his voters are Muslims. Folks, does
Speaker 3: that not kind of wake you up a little bit
Speaker 3: or make you think, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 2: It's not a good place to be.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's terrible. It's absolutely terrible. On a lighter note,
Speaker 3: because everything's a lighter note, hundreds of protesters swarmed to
Speaker 3: propose New York Men's homeless shelter site, physically blocking the
Speaker 3: construction beginning. It's a pretty Asian neighborhood, and they say, no,
Speaker 3: they're going to be all sorts of junkies and weirdos
Speaker 3: and drunks and perverts around here, and we don't want
Speaker 3: them in our neighborhood.
Speaker 2: We'll do it wherever you want them, Donnie, but don't
Speaker 2: do it here. Do we have more of the homeless
Speaker 2: person that clip we opened the show with, We have
Speaker 2: more of that? Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah? Where is that?
Speaker 3: It's actually it's a report on a junkie vills in
Speaker 3: La LA's bums and junkies and trying to clear them out.
Speaker 3: What don't we Yeah, let's do forty and we'll do
Speaker 3: forty one see how we feel about it. But forty first,
Speaker 3: Michael Matthew seedor for Fox eleven.
Speaker 7: Dangers hidden in plain sight along the La River.
Speaker 2: We can see the cap of a needle right here.
Speaker 6: That's where they put the met in signs of illegal
Speaker 6: drug use, stolen property, in what some describe as gang activity.
Speaker 1: Some of these gang members, you know, they carry backpacks
Speaker 1: with tools and ghost guns and a lot of narcotics.
Speaker 2: Dangerous very.
Speaker 3: And then he goes on to interview some of the
Speaker 3: bums and bometts just.
Speaker 6: Steps from a busy trail near Griffith Park. Dozens live
Speaker 6: in fourty fine shelters, tense and even storm drains with
Speaker 6: murky water below. How long have you been out here?
Speaker 2: Thirteen years?
Speaker 7: A place time stand still?
Speaker 2: Over ten years? Ten years, yeah, over ten twenty years
Speaker 2: up that I know of.
Speaker 7: Do they try to offer you help?
Speaker 2: Yes, I've been offered housing.
Speaker 7: Why not take those resources?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 8: It's just right, It's just not for me, and I
Speaker 8: just always come back out to this and I just
Speaker 8: like it.
Speaker 2: She is really a glasses half full sort of holmless
Speaker 2: crack at it. Yeah, she's got again single U huh
Speaker 2: ten or twenty I don't know or I don't remember,
Speaker 2: but as far as I.
Speaker 3: Know, everything's great. Very single digit teeth. By the way,
Speaker 3: on this little cow, I hate to turn this sad
Speaker 3: and serious. That plucky, positive, agreeable attitude is how a
Speaker 3: lot of women on the street avoid getting like beat up,
Speaker 3: or or they get allies to help them not get
Speaker 3: raped by being very friendly and agreeable.
Speaker 2: It's a survival strategy. Oof.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she's and and she didn't come off.
Speaker 2: As like twenty years or twenty what as far as
Speaker 2: I end or twenty.
Speaker 3: Oh if you don't know who does? Uh yeah, yeah, craziness.
Speaker 3: Let's hear the next clip.
Speaker 1: Sort of a place for people who have been forgotten
Speaker 1: or who want.
Speaker 4: To be heard.
Speaker 7: Dirty sites. Many who use the trail have grown numb too.
Speaker 2: You get used to it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, yeah, it's like seeing a gooser, like just
Speaker 7: see something else.
Speaker 6: Or don't want to talk about I'm just asking about
Speaker 6: the homeless society, That's exactly.
Speaker 7: I don't think that's a I don't want to.
Speaker 2: I don't want to comment on that. Why not? I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't want to.
Speaker 1: They put on the blinders. Honestly, they look on their phones,
Speaker 1: they focus on their work out on the bike. They
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with it because homelessness is everywhere.
Speaker 3: Well, bums and junkies are everywhere.
Speaker 2: I want to deal with that. I don't know how to,
Speaker 2: but I want. I want to deal with I want
Speaker 2: to get them out of there my tax money paid for. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I have a similar thing in my town. The
Speaker 2: bike path that we got to ride our bikes passed
Speaker 2: the homeless junkie. I hope you don't get.
Speaker 3: Stabbed, right right. I see the description of this next clip,
Speaker 3: and I'm intrigued. Go ahead, Michael.
Speaker 6: And a statement to Fox eleven council member and mayoral
Speaker 6: candidate Nitthie Rahman calls homelessness along the La River a
Speaker 6: unique challenge, adding steep concrete slopes, culverts, and hard to
Speaker 6: reach areas make these encamments among the most difficult to
Speaker 6: address in the city. The only lasting solution is to
Speaker 6: bring people inside, and we are pursuing that solution with urgency.
Speaker 3: Boy, there was nonsense followed by bad policy in that
Speaker 3: person's statement. Okay, see a need challenge because of the
Speaker 3: steep culverts, it makes it harder to do what.
Speaker 2: So got a couple of sports notes for you. And
Speaker 2: then Katie's got a story about these bugs that are
Speaker 2: going around a stinging people's eyeballs. Pardon me, their i
Speaker 2: stinging bugs that are apparently a problem. So we got
Speaker 2: that to stay here. So Lebron James the played more
Speaker 2: NBA games than anybody ever, scored more points than anybody ever.
Speaker 2: He's got all kinds of more than anybody ever for
Speaker 2: a variety of reasons, how long he's played and how
Speaker 2: good he is. But he had the first ever father's
Speaker 2: son something the other day, because they've had a couple
Speaker 2: of them assistant shot or alley oop or whatever. But
Speaker 2: his son's playing on the Lakers and they which is
Speaker 2: just amazing. Remember old producer Scott said that was what
Speaker 2: was keeping Lebron hanging around, is he wanted to play
Speaker 2: with his son on an NBA team and he is.
Speaker 2: That's got to be a really weird feeling. Yeah, God
Speaker 2: of fun. Unimaginable that anybody will ever do that again.
Speaker 2: I mean, because just the ages will be really hard
Speaker 2: pull off and everything else. But Lakers are a three seed,
Speaker 2: by the way, currently they want a tear in baseball
Speaker 2: checking after the first week roughly of baseball. Still about
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the time the robot is right versus
Speaker 2: the umpire, So it's averaging like two or three times
Speaker 2: per game that people are trying this. Hey, I don't
Speaker 2: think that was a ball. I think it was a
Speaker 2: strike or vice versa. And it's about fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2: So anything to conclude from that, I don't know. Iose,
Speaker 2: I suppose you know, you can look at it two ways.
Speaker 2: But those close calls where you thought the empire was wrong,
Speaker 2: well half the time you were right, the ump was wrong.
Speaker 3: And it's a lot harder to call balls and strikes
Speaker 3: than you think it is.
Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody does it. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: certainly don't know how anybody does it watching on TV.
Speaker 2: I've never understood that. I don't have an eye for it.
Speaker 2: But I've never stood sitting in the sands one hundred
Speaker 2: yards away. Oh, I never hilarious.
Speaker 3: Because, yeah, as an umpire buddy of mine has put it,
Speaker 3: there's a reason we don't position the homeplate umpire fourteen
Speaker 3: rows back one hundred yards that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting. Uh.
Speaker 3: And he also commented to umpires are expected to learn
Speaker 3: a new strike zone without any visible references without any
Speaker 3: training in the machine that Major League Baseball uses. The
Speaker 3: measure has a calibration err and a measurement error, but
Speaker 3: they hold the umpire to one tenth of an inch
Speaker 3: for the accuracy of their ball strike decisions.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't like where it's going, but I guess
Speaker 2: a lot of baseball purists do. So whatever Katie tell
Speaker 2: us About the bugs that are eating people's eyeballs, All.
Speaker 8: Right, right, The Mosquito invector controlled district says that the
Speaker 8: San Gabriel Valley in California has see a surging population
Speaker 8: of tiny eyeball biting flies.
Speaker 3: Well, this won't haunt my dreams, they said, just a
Speaker 3: new flyers.
Speaker 2: It always been around. Now, it's been around.
Speaker 8: But last year at this time, guys fly traps for
Speaker 8: these little guys, we're catching just in the single digits.
Speaker 8: This year, the number of these flies cut has been
Speaker 8: in the hundreds.
Speaker 2: Oh, they bite your eyeballs specifically.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're saying, apparently it's because of the unusually warm
Speaker 8: weather from earlier this month. But the tiny black flies
Speaker 8: common in the foothills are so small they're actually hard
Speaker 8: to see. They are known to bite people's eyeballs and necks.
Speaker 2: My neck is fine, but eyeball does it hurt? I can't.
Speaker 8: I'm agree good not seasoned in being bitten in the eyeball, Jackson.
Speaker 3: This is a biblical plague. I mean clearly, it's probably
Speaker 3: because all the sodomy gotta be the sodomy.
Speaker 2: Gavin Newson's gonna have to answer for this eyeball eating
Speaker 2: flies on your watch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just well, I think, for the grace
Speaker 3: of God, we do four hours of this every day,
Speaker 3: twenty hours a week.
