WEBVTT - This Is All So Phony & Stupid

0:00:01.900 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:07.780
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:12.100
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now,

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:17.290
<v Speaker 2>here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.660 --> 0:00:29.780
<v Speaker 3>October 8th was World Dyslexia Awareness Day. Sadly, sufferers missed

0:00:29.820 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 3>the celebration because they couldn't read the invitation. Turns out

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.190
<v Speaker 3>the event was in Tulsa, but they all went out

0:00:36.210 --> 0:00:37.450
<v Speaker 3>to look for a slut.

0:00:40.150 --> 0:00:40.490
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:00:40.550 --> 0:00:42.090
<v Speaker 2>What? Wow.

0:00:42.110 --> 0:00:43.250
<v Speaker 5>That's just terrible.

0:00:43.350 --> 0:00:47.610
<v Speaker 2>It's bad on every level. I don't approve. Here's a

0:00:47.630 --> 0:00:49.830
<v Speaker 2>dumb story.

0:00:52.620 --> 0:00:57.650
<v Speaker 6>Travis Kelsey, that would be the husband of Taylor Swift,

0:00:57.730 --> 0:01:02.190
<v Speaker 6>plays for the Kansas City Chiefs big football star, liked,

0:01:02.290 --> 0:01:08.250
<v Speaker 6>as in clicked, the heart button on Shane Gillis' monologue

0:01:08.270 --> 0:01:10.450
<v Speaker 6>from Saturday Night Live the other night and is now

0:01:10.510 --> 0:01:14.390
<v Speaker 6>under tremendous pressure from women's groups to apologize or something.

0:01:15.590 --> 0:01:18.410
<v Speaker 2>No, shut up. I hope he does. I hope he

0:01:18.450 --> 0:01:19.429
<v Speaker 2>just ignores it. Yes, Katie.

0:01:19.980 --> 0:01:21.380
<v Speaker 4>I'd just like to point out that all the same

0:01:21.420 --> 0:01:27.650
<v Speaker 4>women that are complaining about Shane Gillis's... Innocuous monologue? Yeah,

0:01:27.870 --> 0:01:30.650
<v Speaker 4>so they're all the same ones that were mad about

0:01:30.730 --> 0:01:35.060
<v Speaker 4>Sidney Sweeney needing to put more clothes on, and now they're,

0:01:35.300 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:01:36.670 --> 0:01:39.670
<v Speaker 2>Right. I see your point. You see what I'm saying?

0:01:39.690 --> 0:01:42.590
<v Speaker 2>It's permanent offendedness. That's the theme.

0:01:43.370 --> 0:01:45.730
<v Speaker 4>So Sidney Sweeney needs to put more clothes on, but

0:01:45.780 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 4>women can be as naked as they want.

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.420
<v Speaker 6>I didn't mean to go here, but it kind of

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.900
<v Speaker 6>fits in with the Cornell 7 thing.

0:01:52.140 --> 0:01:53.500
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we got to make a decision.

0:01:53.820 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 6>Either you can be super sexy and slutty and everything

0:01:57.500 --> 0:02:00.990
<v Speaker 6>like that all the time, and then we get.

0:02:00.910 --> 0:02:06.190
<v Speaker 2>To say, wow, that's sexy or slutty. Or don't. I mean,

0:02:06.350 --> 0:02:08.810
<v Speaker 2>you can't do both. Oh, you know what?

0:02:08.870 --> 0:02:11.630
<v Speaker 5>I should have grabbed it. Just saw a great Dave

0:02:11.650 --> 0:02:15.140
<v Speaker 5>Chappelle bit the other day. He was younger, so it

0:02:15.300 --> 0:02:18.139
<v Speaker 5>goes back a while. But he's talking about women who

0:02:18.180 --> 0:02:23.630
<v Speaker 5>are dressed like hoes. And he says, you know, okay,

0:02:23.650 --> 0:02:25.490
<v Speaker 5>so you dress like that, and he gives some very

0:02:25.550 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 5>graphic descriptions, as is his want, his genre, his over.

0:02:31.380 --> 0:02:35.420
<v Speaker 5>And then he says, but if you say, wow, look

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.149
<v Speaker 5>at those, they'll be like, oh, my God.

0:02:37.650 --> 0:02:41.589
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe you. You are so sick. And well,

0:02:41.630 --> 0:02:43.510
<v Speaker 2>don't listen. He said, what if I were to put

0:02:43.590 --> 0:02:46.589
<v Speaker 2>on full police uniform? I mean, I got the hat.

0:02:46.630 --> 0:02:47.130
<v Speaker 5>I got the badge.

0:02:47.169 --> 0:02:49.210
<v Speaker 2>I got everything. And somebody runs up to me. Please

0:02:49.230 --> 0:02:51.290
<v Speaker 2>help us. Please help us. He's down over there. Could

0:02:51.310 --> 0:02:53.269
<v Speaker 2>you help us? And you'd be like, where do you

0:02:53.290 --> 0:02:56.650
<v Speaker 2>get off saying I'm acting like I'm a police officer?

0:02:57.070 --> 0:02:59.070
<v Speaker 2>How can you do that? If you don't want to

0:02:59.110 --> 0:03:02.050
<v Speaker 2>be treated like a profession, don't dress like it. And

0:03:02.210 --> 0:03:02.910
<v Speaker 2>so that.

0:03:03.570 --> 0:03:07.290
<v Speaker 6>Would help, I think, women kind a lot if we

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 6>dealt with that level of feminism where what Shane Gillis

0:03:12.340 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 6>described the way women dressing at the gym, some women

0:03:15.100 --> 0:03:19.390
<v Speaker 6>dressing at the gym. If you're going to live in

0:03:19.430 --> 0:03:22.650
<v Speaker 6>a world where you think guys shouldn't look or notice,

0:03:23.630 --> 0:03:27.260
<v Speaker 6>what are you talking about? Are you telling me you're

0:03:27.300 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 6>dressed that way because it's the most comfortable thing you

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.940
<v Speaker 6>can come up with? And in that color because somehow

0:03:31.980 --> 0:03:35.190
<v Speaker 6>that benefits you? I mean, what are you even trying to...

0:03:35.740 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 6>To me, it is a, we're going to put you

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.260
<v Speaker 6>in the most uncomfortable position we possibly can. And if

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.620
<v Speaker 6>we get any reaction out of you, we're going to pounce.

0:03:45.250 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:03:45.500 --> 0:03:46.540
<v Speaker 2>It's an exercise of power.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 5>Uh-huh.

0:03:48.830 --> 0:03:51.350
<v Speaker 2>And a denial of reality. And a denial of reality.

0:03:51.370 --> 0:03:53.830
<v Speaker 5>Often to the gal's detriment, like the poor Cornell 7 gal.

0:03:55.460 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 5>I don't think, you know, the guys are guilty of

0:03:58.060 --> 0:04:00.140
<v Speaker 5>what she's saying they are. It was ugly, certainly. But

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.780
<v Speaker 5>she is absolutely suffering from this. Suffering terribly from it.

0:04:03.810 --> 0:04:05.630
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:05.750 --> 0:04:07.470
<v Speaker 5>So what was I going to say? Oh, you know,

0:04:07.730 --> 0:04:11.330
<v Speaker 5>the gals who are lecturing Travis Kelsey about that? I'd

0:04:11.350 --> 0:04:14.170
<v Speaker 5>like to tell them, hey, sweetheart, why don't you get

0:04:14.210 --> 0:04:16.210
<v Speaker 5>back in the kitchen and bake some cookies?

0:04:16.620 --> 0:04:18.820
<v Speaker 2>Some bitter, bitter cookies.

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:04:20.130 --> 0:04:22.890
<v Speaker 6>So there, I see both at the gym I go to.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 6>I go to a very small gym that doesn't have

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 6>that many people, period. But there are some young women

0:04:28.100 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 6>who wear like loose-fitting clothing, like loose-fitting sweats and a

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.380
<v Speaker 6>sweatshirt to work out. And then there are some women

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.490
<v Speaker 6>that dress like they're trying to find a husband or

0:04:36.580 --> 0:04:39.450
<v Speaker 6>something or a boyfriend or whatever. And so I would

0:04:39.490 --> 0:04:41.390
<v Speaker 6>like to discuss both of them. Why did you choose

0:04:41.430 --> 0:04:43.330
<v Speaker 6>that outfit? There's got to be a reason.

0:04:45.630 --> 0:04:45.830
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:04:47.350 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 5>The idea that there's Well, obviously, there are choices between

0:04:52.779 --> 0:04:55.820
<v Speaker 5>a burqa and nudity.

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Right. All right?

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 5>And not every choice short of nudity is a burqa.

0:05:03.540 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 5>You got to calibrate things like we do every moment

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 5>of our lives. But again, it's a leftist ideology that

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 5>is looking for the chance to be offended. Because if

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.930
<v Speaker 5>you're offended and that you can make them be in

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.050
<v Speaker 5>the wrong, then you have power over them. It's that

0:05:22.150 --> 0:05:26.789
<v Speaker 5>it's a technique of capture, as James Lindsay has pointed

0:05:26.850 --> 0:05:27.990
<v Speaker 5>out so aptly.

0:05:28.150 --> 0:05:29.850
<v Speaker 6>My kids and I were talking about this last night.

0:05:29.990 --> 0:05:33.030
<v Speaker 6>Just wonder where Taylor Swift is on the whole thing,

0:05:33.089 --> 0:05:40.230
<v Speaker 6>because she's, you know, lefty politics. Dresses sexy, but not slutty.

0:05:40.970 --> 0:05:44.010
<v Speaker 6>Is that fair to say, Katie? You think that's accurate?

0:05:44.170 --> 0:05:44.420
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:44.510 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Dresses sexy, but not slutty.

0:05:46.610 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 6>Um, does she, she and Travis on the same page

0:05:50.140 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 6>on this whole, he shouldn't have liked, does she know

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 6>that he hearted the Shane Gillis monologue?

0:05:55.460 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And is she cool with that? Or does she think

0:05:56.980 --> 0:05:57.620
<v Speaker 2>that's appalling?

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.550
<v Speaker 5>Has she met him? He's a big American football player.

0:06:02.850 --> 0:06:03.030
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:03.089 --> 0:06:05.830
<v Speaker 2>He thinks Shane Gillis is funny. Of course he does.

0:06:07.900 --> 0:06:11.770
<v Speaker 2>You know any football players? I do. Oh, this is

0:06:11.810 --> 0:06:15.010
<v Speaker 2>all so phony and stupid. It is phony and stupid.

0:06:15.029 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's like soggy bread and boring circuses. I mean,

0:06:18.420 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm just getting so tired of it all.

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm tired of?

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.610
<v Speaker 6>And I thought this topic was done or was going

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.929
<v Speaker 6>to be done soon.

0:06:27.660 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Boys competing in girls sports. How has this not been

0:06:32.339 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>taken care of at this point?

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:40.340
<v Speaker 6>But just yesterday, some brave girls, about half of a

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 6>high school girls cross country team in Washington state, walked

0:06:45.100 --> 0:06:47.940
<v Speaker 6>off the course and refused to participate with one of

0:06:47.980 --> 0:06:52.900
<v Speaker 6>their own teammates because their school let a boy transfer

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.700
<v Speaker 6>from the boys' team to the girls' team.

0:06:55.410 --> 0:06:56.230
<v Speaker 2>Mid-season.

0:06:57.250 --> 0:07:00.670
<v Speaker 6>Well, he'd already placed 76th or something like that as

0:07:00.710 --> 0:07:03.290
<v Speaker 6>a boy, and then as a girl, he placed first.

0:07:03.089 --> 0:07:05.770
<v Speaker 2>In one race and second in another. It's worse than that.

0:07:06.050 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 2>76th in the JV race.

0:07:08.060 --> 0:07:12.340
<v Speaker 5>And then he was winning varsity meets later that same year.

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:13.580
<v Speaker 2>It's just hilarious.

0:07:13.820 --> 0:07:16.310
<v Speaker 5>The fact that Washingtonians in the deeper blue yard, the

0:07:16.330 --> 0:07:19.530
<v Speaker 5>more ideologically insane you are, could say, oh, no, no, no.

0:07:19.630 --> 0:07:24.270
<v Speaker 2>He's a girl now. You are a crazy person. Um.

0:07:26.890 --> 0:07:30.910
<v Speaker 6>one commenter up in Washington State tweeted at Governor Bob Ferguson,

0:07:30.930 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 6>the governor of the state of Washington, this is.

0:07:33.250 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>On you, cowards, absolute cowards.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.580
<v Speaker 6>We will never forgive you for how you abandoned women

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 6>and girls at the altar of your radical ideologies, and

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 6>we will never forgive. Also this comment, when a boy

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.350
<v Speaker 6>slash man is allowed to compete in girl women's sports,

0:07:50.930 --> 0:07:52.950
<v Speaker 6>it is sold as inclusivity.

0:07:53.210 --> 0:07:58.050
<v Speaker 2>But it isn't, obviously. It's exclusive. It excludes girls.

0:07:57.810 --> 0:08:00.430
<v Speaker 6>And women from having the only category that exists for

0:08:00.470 --> 0:08:03.980
<v Speaker 6>them to compete in. While the boy man has two choices.

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 6>I'll either compete in this one, and if I don't

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.060
<v Speaker 6>do good enough, I'll go compete in that one. But

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 6>the girl doesn't have an option.

0:08:09.780 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>It's less inclusive, you morons.

0:08:14.370 --> 0:08:18.550
<v Speaker 6>I don't it is unbelievable cowardice. I can understand how

0:08:18.630 --> 0:08:22.210
<v Speaker 6>you a couple of years back, a governor of whatever

0:08:22.290 --> 0:08:25.180
<v Speaker 6>state or the principal of whatever school didn't want to

0:08:25.210 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 6>step into this. But can't you see you're on safe

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 6>ground now? Let a couple people howl and send you

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.580
<v Speaker 6>nasty emails. But come out and say wherever you are

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.290
<v Speaker 6>in the country, no boys on the girls high school teams.

0:08:37.890 --> 0:08:38.230
<v Speaker 4>None.

0:08:38.550 --> 0:08:39.470
<v Speaker 2>We're not doing that.

0:08:40.190 --> 0:08:42.810
<v Speaker 5>I don't disagree with you, but I think you're overlooking

0:08:42.830 --> 0:08:45.030
<v Speaker 5>the fact that a lot of these people, especially in

0:08:45.050 --> 0:08:47.900
<v Speaker 5>Washington state and places like that, they actually believe this.

0:08:49.179 --> 0:08:52.060
<v Speaker 2>They don't. They're not cowards. They're cultists.

0:08:52.860 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, those people who drank the was a flavor

0:08:55.460 --> 0:08:58.130
<v Speaker 5>aid or whatever it actually was in the Jonestown massacre.

0:08:58.950 --> 0:09:03.579
<v Speaker 5>They believed Jim Jones. To the point that they drank

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 5>the Kool-Aid and made their children drink it too, and

0:09:06.620 --> 0:09:11.270
<v Speaker 5>it killed them painfully. These people are like that. They're cultists.

0:09:11.690 --> 0:09:14.090
<v Speaker 5>They have extreme, bizarre beliefs.

0:09:14.610 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I heard another radio host, who I won't name.

0:09:18.300 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 6>Make the point that how about the adults that keep

0:09:21.380 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 6>their mouths shut out of fear?

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.610
<v Speaker 2>You freaking cowards.

0:09:24.890 --> 0:09:26.980
<v Speaker 6>There are people like you said who agree with it,

0:09:27.190 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 6>but there's a bunch of adults that don't agree with it.

0:09:29.370 --> 0:09:32.630
<v Speaker 6>And they're keeping their mouths shut because they're afraid. I

0:09:32.730 --> 0:09:34.890
<v Speaker 6>swear to God, if I were in this position, because

0:09:34.970 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 6>I've been to lots of high school girls basketball games,

0:09:38.620 --> 0:09:40.900
<v Speaker 6>my kids high schools. If there was a boy on

0:09:40.940 --> 0:09:42.939
<v Speaker 6>the team, I would walk out on the court in

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 6>the middle of the game until they hauled me off

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 6>by security.

0:09:45.300 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing here? This is nuts. Who thinks

0:09:49.980 --> 0:09:51.110
<v Speaker 2>this makes sense?

0:09:52.490 --> 0:09:54.630
<v Speaker 6>I would let them drag me out of there before,

0:09:54.970 --> 0:09:56.450
<v Speaker 6>even if I didn't have a kid on the team.

0:09:56.730 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>This is crazy. Most people are hurt. animals.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.179
<v Speaker 5>They go where they're herded. And on the left, it's

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.850
<v Speaker 5>a much, much higher percentage. And so if you just

0:10:07.890 --> 0:10:10.569
<v Speaker 5>want to be accepted, you live in a lefty part

0:10:10.590 --> 0:10:11.050
<v Speaker 5>of the world.

0:10:11.670 --> 0:10:13.709
<v Speaker 2>No, you're never going to find that courage. You're a sheep.

0:10:13.770 --> 0:10:17.610
<v Speaker 2>You're asking a sheep to behave like a lion. They don't.

0:10:17.690 --> 0:10:18.050
<v Speaker 5>They won't.

0:10:18.350 --> 0:10:20.410
<v Speaker 6>So it was a track meet or a cross-country meet

0:10:20.460 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 6>with that high school competing, obviously, against other high schools.

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 6>And they got a couple of the athletes from the

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.790
<v Speaker 6>other high school. on Fox &amp; Friends this morning being

0:10:28.970 --> 0:10:29.990
<v Speaker 6>asked about this whole thing.

0:10:30.510 --> 0:10:36.050
<v Speaker 8>So, Sierra, September 5th, this athlete finished 76th in the boys'

0:10:36.190 --> 0:10:40.740
<v Speaker 8>JV cross-country race. Then about 24 days later, September 29th,

0:10:41.260 --> 0:10:45.020
<v Speaker 8>finished first in the girls' varsity race. So it's JV

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 8>on the boys, finishing 76th, but finishing first on varsity girls.

0:10:50.179 --> 0:10:51.980
<v Speaker 8>Is this why you decided to protest?

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, he's taking that spot, so.

0:10:59.700 --> 0:11:03.500
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's fair at all and um he's

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.540
<v Speaker 1>taking away a spot from every single girl that lines

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>up on that line so.

0:11:06.740 --> 0:11:09.500
<v Speaker 6>Uh and then applauding the bravery we'll get that clip

0:11:09.540 --> 0:11:11.579
<v Speaker 6>on what about what.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:16.929
<v Speaker 8>Happened yesterday people on this athlete's team half the team

0:11:16.970 --> 0:11:19.270
<v Speaker 8>decided not to compete um yeah.

0:11:19.110 --> 0:11:21.330
<v Speaker 1>I think it's amazing what they did and i think

0:11:21.370 --> 0:11:26.490
<v Speaker 1>it's really brave and courageous of And it is one

0:11:26.510 --> 0:11:29.910
<v Speaker 1>of their teammates. So I really applaud those cameras girls

0:11:30.250 --> 0:11:31.370
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't be.

0:11:31.290 --> 0:11:31.949
<v Speaker 2>More proud of them.

0:11:32.110 --> 0:11:34.929
<v Speaker 6>But how does it come down to the children to

0:11:34.990 --> 0:11:38.810
<v Speaker 6>solve this? Where are the adults making the loud noises?

0:11:39.670 --> 0:11:41.830
<v Speaker 6>You can't tell me even in Washington state that all

0:11:41.870 --> 0:11:45.770
<v Speaker 6>the coaches and parents and teachers think this makes sense.

0:11:46.340 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 5>It's a combination of cultists and cowards.

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:48.980 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 5>A hundred percent.

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at a picture of this dude.

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 5>He's he's a head taller than, Head and shoulders taller

0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 5>than almost all of the girls except the tallest of them.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 5>And he's got the clearly developed shoulders of a young,

0:12:04.500 --> 0:12:05.300
<v Speaker 5>fit male.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just laughable. I wish I did. Oh, please.

0:12:08.620 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 5>I haven't had a belly that flat since, well, anyway.

0:12:16.140 --> 0:12:20.460
<v Speaker 5>It's idiotic and obscene. But again, once in a while...

0:12:21.100 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 5>you've got to detach yourself from your emotional reaction to

0:12:25.210 --> 0:12:29.770
<v Speaker 5>this and, and, and be a scientist and say, all right,

0:12:30.190 --> 0:12:34.490
<v Speaker 5>what does this tell us about human beings in a

0:12:34.630 --> 0:12:38.210
<v Speaker 5>social political system that you can get them to go

0:12:38.309 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 5>along with something that they find repugnant or, um, that's

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 5>its own question.

0:12:44.300 --> 0:12:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Norwell wrote brilliantly.

0:12:45.340 --> 0:12:50.950
<v Speaker 5>About that or, um, try to understand the dynamic where

0:12:51.090 --> 0:12:54.410
<v Speaker 5>somebody is led to believe something that is so patently untrue.

0:12:54.809 --> 0:13:00.310
<v Speaker 5>It's ludicrous, but they have internalized that, that philosophy.

0:12:59.990 --> 0:13:03.110
<v Speaker 2>And now they believe it and are denying it to themselves.

0:13:03.150 --> 0:13:04.750
<v Speaker 2>Cause Orwell wrote about that too.

0:13:05.450 --> 0:13:08.570
<v Speaker 5>I mean, that tells you what you, that's a very

0:13:08.610 --> 0:13:10.010
<v Speaker 5>disturbing thing about human beings.

0:13:10.750 --> 0:13:13.380
<v Speaker 6>We got one pushback, I think on the text line

0:13:13.420 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 6>that is worth addressing, but we'll have to do that

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 6>when we come back and then we'll move on to

0:13:16.700 --> 0:13:19.390
<v Speaker 6>other things. Are we living in a world where we

0:13:19.410 --> 0:13:22.979
<v Speaker 6>have no ambassador to Greece and the Pope has only

0:13:23.030 --> 0:13:23.739
<v Speaker 6>part of his lungs?

0:13:23.980 --> 0:13:29.300
<v Speaker 2>These are tough times. Much on the way. Stay here.

0:13:30.860 --> 0:13:32.060
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 8>Well, that brings us to your opportunity to say just

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 8>a few last words to the voters.

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.339
<v Speaker 1>We have guns, too.

0:13:48.410 --> 0:13:48.910
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:13:49.590 --> 0:13:51.470
<v Speaker 2>So we went through this earlier.

0:13:51.490 --> 0:13:55.569
<v Speaker 6>This is a drunk woman in Indiana who was running

0:13:55.610 --> 0:13:58.370
<v Speaker 6>for something, and she was hammered.

0:13:59.770 --> 0:14:01.309
<v Speaker 2>We had a lot of fun with it. Now we're three.

0:14:01.390 --> 0:14:03.490
<v Speaker 6>Look for the podcast Armstrong and Giddy on demand. But

0:14:03.630 --> 0:14:05.850
<v Speaker 6>I hadn't seen the video. I just saw the video.

0:14:06.410 --> 0:14:09.929
<v Speaker 2>Wow. She's got the drunk mannerisms to lean back in

0:14:09.970 --> 0:14:12.110
<v Speaker 2>her chair. Lots of big arms. You know what the

0:14:12.150 --> 0:14:15.330
<v Speaker 2>problem is? Big arm gestures and stuff like that. Oh,

0:14:15.370 --> 0:14:16.030
<v Speaker 2>my God.

0:14:17.150 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 6>Somebody said she's like Drunk Uncle from Saturday Night Live.

0:14:19.660 --> 0:14:20.660
<v Speaker 6>She really was.

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:21.580
<v Speaker 2>Very much.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:14:22.540 --> 0:14:22.780
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.340
<v Speaker 6>So we're just talking about a boy claiming he was

0:14:28.380 --> 0:14:33.710
<v Speaker 6>a girl competing on a high school cross-country team in Washington.

0:14:33.850 --> 0:14:36.450
<v Speaker 6>Half the girls team walked out. So we got this text,

0:14:36.470 --> 0:14:39.650
<v Speaker 6>which we've gotten before and I've not responded to. Again,

0:14:39.890 --> 0:14:43.340
<v Speaker 6>please comment on Sophie Cunningham taking a boy's job on

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 6>her football team, which I'd never looked into before. So

0:14:45.940 --> 0:14:52.540
<v Speaker 6>I finally looked into it. Sophie Cunningham, who is a

0:14:52.580 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 6>star player in the WNBA, plays with Caitlin Clark. Lots

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.340
<v Speaker 6>of controversy around her because she came out anti-boys and

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.380
<v Speaker 6>girls sports. And so she's considered transphobic and she gets

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.530
<v Speaker 6>death threats and people protest her everywhere she goes and

0:15:06.550 --> 0:15:11.310
<v Speaker 6>all that sort of stuff. In high school, she won

0:15:11.350 --> 0:15:16.530
<v Speaker 6>a halftime kicking contest, made a 45-year-old field goal. 45-year-old

0:15:16.590 --> 0:15:18.830
<v Speaker 6>field goal? 45-yard field goal.

0:15:19.050 --> 0:15:19.630
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes.

0:15:19.790 --> 0:15:22.670
<v Speaker 6>I don't know why I said year old. She won

0:15:22.710 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 6>a halftime kicking contest, kicked a 45-yard field goal. And

0:15:26.630 --> 0:15:29.060
<v Speaker 6>the high school football coach thought, she's better than the

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.620
<v Speaker 6>guy we got. We need to make her our kicker.

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:32.380
<v Speaker 2>And they did.

0:15:32.820 --> 0:15:34.540
<v Speaker 6>And it was at the end of the season, and

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.780
<v Speaker 6>she kicked two extra points and blah, blah, blah. So

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 6>apparently her participation has become a controversial thing because of

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.660
<v Speaker 6>her statements opposing transgender women. Critics have pointed to her

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.700
<v Speaker 6>own experience playing on a boys team, while defenders argue

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 6>that the circumstances are different.

0:15:53.100 --> 0:15:53.740
<v Speaker 2>Seriously.

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.060
<v Speaker 2>Seriously. Seriously.

0:16:04.540 --> 0:16:07.740
<v Speaker 6>So the person that texted, and what? Text me with

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.500
<v Speaker 6>the and what. And so.

0:16:10.890 --> 0:16:17.070
<v Speaker 5>So, since it's exceedingly rare that for a brief time

0:16:17.170 --> 0:16:21.890
<v Speaker 5>in the physical development of boys and girls, one girl

0:16:22.100 --> 0:16:27.180
<v Speaker 5>out of 50 million might be able to make a

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.340
<v Speaker 5>boys team in a non-contact capacity.

0:16:32.270 --> 0:16:36.270
<v Speaker 2>That what now? Exactly. What's the next sentence to that?

0:16:36.810 --> 0:16:38.650
<v Speaker 2>As opposed to.

0:16:38.910 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 6>If you allow boys to participate in girls sports, they'll

0:16:41.660 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 6>dominate every sport.

0:16:42.420 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 2>There'll be no girls playing any sport anywhere. Ever again.

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Ever again.

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:53.170
<v Speaker 5>Except for the one Sophie Cunningham in the country who

0:16:53.250 --> 0:16:54.530
<v Speaker 5>can briefly.

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 2>at.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 5>A particular stage of her development, participate in sports. She'll

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 5>be the only girl in girls' sports. That's the difference,

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 5>my friend.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 2>By the way, we forgot to mention the L.A.

0:17:06.060 --> 0:17:09.980
<v Speaker 6>Rams dumped Thicker Kicker after he missed the overtime field

0:17:10.010 --> 0:17:12.230
<v Speaker 6>goal the other night. Do you know Thicker Kicker? The

0:17:12.270 --> 0:17:15.570
<v Speaker 6>great big weeboop kicker got booted off the Rams.

0:17:15.790 --> 0:17:23.100
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Thicker Kicker. Disappointing. Armstrong and Getty. Coming up. Coming up,

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:24.580
<v Speaker 2>I guess my microphone is already on.

0:17:24.940 --> 0:17:29.750
<v Speaker 6>Coming up, TSA bans popular Halloween outfits. Here's what you

0:17:29.790 --> 0:17:31.270
<v Speaker 6>need to know if you want to fly in costume.

0:17:31.630 --> 0:17:34.470
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever flown in costume? Wait a minute. Let's

0:17:34.530 --> 0:17:37.530
<v Speaker 2>talk about your premise here. Have you ever gone in there?

0:17:37.810 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's October 31st. I'm on a business trip. I

0:17:40.780 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 6>guess I'll go ahead and put on my Superman outfit.

0:17:44.859 --> 0:17:46.939
<v Speaker 5>And my executive, I'm going to go as a tiger,

0:17:47.060 --> 0:17:49.100
<v Speaker 5>and my executive vice president is going to go as

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.580
<v Speaker 5>the insane guy who climbed into the tiger enclosure.

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be great. That's actually a pretty good outfit.

0:17:58.359 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>No, it isn't.

0:17:59.220 --> 0:18:02.659
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you go to a company Halloween party, you're the tiger,

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.220
<v Speaker 6>and the other guy kind of lays on the ground.

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.619
<v Speaker 2>Hey! Oh, that's terrible. I wish I hadn't thought of it.

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.180
<v Speaker 2>All right, so that's coming up, is it? All right, great.

0:18:12.619 --> 0:18:14.500
<v Speaker 5>So I'm trying to decide whether to get into this

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 5>or not.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.420
<v Speaker 2>Canada is such an interesting place. I was just there.

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.139
<v Speaker 5>I drove halfway across Canada. The trade war is so dopey.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.060
<v Speaker 5>I like Canadians, generally speaking. It's a beautiful country, wonderfully

0:18:26.100 --> 0:18:29.900
<v Speaker 5>beautiful country, and vast. I mean, just so big physically.

0:18:31.340 --> 0:18:36.119
<v Speaker 5>But sociologically, it has gone completely fruit bat nuts.

0:18:36.790 --> 0:18:37.890
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is woke....

0:18:40.420 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 5>And self-hating, and DEI, and anti-free speech, and just, Canada

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:49.220
<v Speaker 5>has lost its mind.

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.570
<v Speaker 2>Their drug policies are insane.

0:18:53.950 --> 0:18:55.350
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just going to touch on this, then move

0:18:55.369 --> 0:18:56.870
<v Speaker 5>to the main thing I wanted to talk about, but

0:18:58.250 --> 0:19:03.070
<v Speaker 5>British Columbia, which is not, can somebody find the population

0:19:03.090 --> 0:19:05.310
<v Speaker 5>of British Columbia? I'm sorry, I should have looked it up, but.

0:19:06.230 --> 0:19:09.100
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to guess 5 million.

0:19:10.630 --> 0:19:16.620
<v Speaker 5>It's not a ton of people, but in 2025, British Columbia,

0:19:16.650 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 5>which has just insanely, like, Oregonian, Portlandian drug policies.

0:19:23.340 --> 0:19:28.780
<v Speaker 2>What's the population, Katie? 5.68 million. Look at me. Excellent guess.

0:19:28.820 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 2>So I was just there, and I counted them as

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I drove through. There you go.

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:31.740
<v Speaker 1>Ding!

0:19:32.100 --> 0:19:39.980
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, so British Columbia has these insanely Portlandian drug policies.

0:19:40.609 --> 0:19:48.610
<v Speaker 5>They saw close to 2,000 drug deaths, a sky-high death

0:19:48.670 --> 0:19:54.590
<v Speaker 5>rate of 32%. per 100,000 every year, or during the

0:19:54.609 --> 0:19:57.430
<v Speaker 5>years of this program, which they've walked back a little bit.

0:19:57.450 --> 0:20:01.730
<v Speaker 5>But every month in 2025 saw an average of four

0:20:01.850 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 5>or more unregulated drug deaths every single day.

0:20:07.220 --> 0:20:11.010
<v Speaker 2>Just people dying. dying by the enormous numbers.

0:20:11.790 --> 0:20:16.770
<v Speaker 5>And this writer, Sam Munson, writes, they were the province's

0:20:16.830 --> 0:20:20.210
<v Speaker 5>biggest cause of unnatural death by orders of magnitude over

0:20:20.390 --> 0:20:24.389
<v Speaker 5>all other cases. How compassionate. And I'm reminded of the

0:20:24.490 --> 0:20:26.580
<v Speaker 5>brilliant Nellie Bowles piece. It was the first thing I

0:20:26.630 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 5>ever read that she wrote, talking about San Francisco, her

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 5>home city, talking about a very similar thing, similar context.

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.290
<v Speaker 5>And Saying, this doesn't look like compassion to me. This

0:20:38.330 --> 0:20:41.390
<v Speaker 5>looks like easing our young people into death on the pavement.

0:20:41.430 --> 0:20:50.699
<v Speaker 6>Well, Vancouver, big city, gorgeous, except for street people that

0:20:50.740 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 6>look to be dying all.

0:20:51.900 --> 0:20:54.780
<v Speaker 2>Over the place. Yeah. All over the place. And a

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:55.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of them are dying. Yeah.

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.369
<v Speaker 6>And apparently they actually are dying. Number one cause of,

0:20:58.500 --> 0:21:01.300
<v Speaker 6>was it unnatural death? Is that what you said?

0:21:01.340 --> 0:21:01.980
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, essentially.

0:21:02.020 --> 0:21:02.419
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah.

0:21:02.460 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Not disease.

0:21:03.220 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 6>All the seal attacks. Is that a natural death?

0:21:08.710 --> 0:21:17.230
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, I don't know. Seal attack. I don't know. Anyway,

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 2>don't do drugs. Moose tramplings, etc. All natural attacks.

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, where was I? It seemed important at the time.

0:21:29.180 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Sick.

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh, we'll revisit Canada's drug policies perhaps tomorrow.

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.550
<v Speaker 6>Combine the drug policy with the euthanasia. You got some

0:21:36.619 --> 0:21:37.510
<v Speaker 6>pretty weird stuff.

0:21:38.270 --> 0:21:41.490
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I would say, and I'll just give you a

0:21:41.530 --> 0:21:44.149
<v Speaker 5>little hint of what this story is all about.

0:21:44.390 --> 0:21:47.899
<v Speaker 2>And your favorite sport's hockey? I mean, where does it end? No,

0:21:47.910 --> 0:21:48.330
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute.

0:21:48.470 --> 0:21:52.090
<v Speaker 5>That's where our agreement ends, sir. The most popular sport

0:21:52.130 --> 0:21:52.650
<v Speaker 5>is hockey?

0:21:53.090 --> 0:22:01.730
<v Speaker 2>Yes. Hockey's a fantastic sport. It's exciting, action-packed, fast, violent, graceful.

0:22:01.869 --> 0:22:05.470
<v Speaker 6>You play Canadian football with a wider field for some reason.

0:22:06.070 --> 0:22:11.490
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's... Okay. So, this month, the Canadian federal government

0:22:11.950 --> 0:22:17.500
<v Speaker 5>will start supplying paper straws and, like, foil surfaces... For

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.419
<v Speaker 5>prisoners to more safely inhale their drugs.

0:22:22.950 --> 0:22:25.910
<v Speaker 2>Freebasing, etc. Do they allow drugs in prison in Canada?

0:22:25.990 --> 0:22:27.970
<v Speaker 6>Or are they just going with the assumption you're going

0:22:28.010 --> 0:22:29.449
<v Speaker 6>to get drugs, so we might as well give you

0:22:29.470 --> 0:22:30.169
<v Speaker 6>the paraphernalia?

0:22:30.290 --> 0:22:36.899
<v Speaker 2>Which is it? Well... Both are bad. Both are dumb. Yes, yes.

0:22:37.140 --> 0:22:39.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not really clear to me. If you allow them,

0:22:39.940 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 2>that's nuts. And if you.

0:22:43.670 --> 0:22:45.300
<v Speaker 6>Think so many people are doing drugs, you might as

0:22:45.340 --> 0:22:47.179
<v Speaker 6>well hand out the paraphernalia. Do a better job of

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:48.260
<v Speaker 6>stopping the drugs coming in.

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:49.660
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.

0:22:50.300 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 5>So the staff memo from Corrections Canada explained the straws

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 5>are intended for inhaling substances in powdered form or inhaling

0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.350
<v Speaker 5>vapor from heated substances. How, one might ask, could a

0:23:00.369 --> 0:23:03.570
<v Speaker 5>change of straw make jailhouse coke or heroin any safer?

0:23:04.090 --> 0:23:04.429
<v Speaker 6>Simple.

0:23:04.490 --> 0:23:07.510
<v Speaker 5>They'll reduce harm by preventing cuts to the inner nostril

0:23:07.790 --> 0:23:10.780
<v Speaker 5>that metal or plastic straws can cause. Cuts that spread

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:14.490
<v Speaker 5>hepatitis B, C, and other dangerous diseases. What a perfect

0:23:14.510 --> 0:23:20.540
<v Speaker 5>role for the government. The same memo publicized plans to

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.919
<v Speaker 5>hand out foil strips, especially designed for safer smoking, of

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 5>drugs like meth and crack, along with drug testing kits

0:23:27.020 --> 0:23:30.979
<v Speaker 5>meant to help prisoners confirm their cocaine isn't contaminated with

0:23:31.030 --> 0:23:32.490
<v Speaker 5>fentanyl or trank.

0:23:33.250 --> 0:23:36.050
<v Speaker 6>So I'm a prisoner in Canada. I got busted for

0:23:36.510 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 6>syrup smoking. thief thievery or wow a poached moose or

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:46.460
<v Speaker 6>whatever idiotic and childish cliches and and i feel like

0:23:46.810 --> 0:23:51.750
<v Speaker 6>the taxpayers should provide me with the things i need

0:23:51.770 --> 0:23:54.310
<v Speaker 6>to continue to do hard drugs which is going to

0:23:54.330 --> 0:23:56.930
<v Speaker 6>make it much more difficult for the guards to deal

0:23:56.970 --> 0:24:00.410
<v Speaker 6>with me much more much less likely that i'm going

0:24:00.430 --> 0:24:02.430
<v Speaker 6>to be rehabilitated and be able to go out into

0:24:02.450 --> 0:24:02.990
<v Speaker 6>the world and be a.

0:24:05.820 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>It has to do with equity, they explain.

0:24:10.940 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 5>What?

0:24:11.180 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know.

0:24:12.500 --> 0:24:16.150
<v Speaker 5>The all-purpose word that means we can do anything because

0:24:16.230 --> 0:24:20.590
<v Speaker 5>there are some black people involved or something. Anyway, last month,

0:24:20.609 --> 0:24:23.230
<v Speaker 5>a federal judge in British Columbia stayed the convictions of

0:24:23.290 --> 0:24:26.310
<v Speaker 5>two drug traffickers because she said they were acting not

0:24:26.390 --> 0:24:29.260
<v Speaker 5>for profit but out of compassion. Their thing was, we'll

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:32.690
<v Speaker 5>have a safe supply of drugs to our customers. We

0:24:32.790 --> 0:24:34.629
<v Speaker 5>check them all to make sure they're not cut with

0:24:34.670 --> 0:24:38.180
<v Speaker 5>fentanyl or other adulterants. That was a selfless act, according

0:24:38.220 --> 0:24:40.379
<v Speaker 5>to the judge, whose ruling declared the addicts have a

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.619
<v Speaker 5>human right to access the drugs of their choice, never

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 5>mind the laws on the books. And in June, a

0:24:46.820 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 5>group of academics, obviously, I'm tired of talking about why

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:51.419
<v Speaker 5>we're not going to talk about this now. Let's go

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:52.189
<v Speaker 5>ahead and talk about it.

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:52.700
<v Speaker 6>Anyway.

0:24:54.140 --> 0:24:57.790
<v Speaker 5>In June of this year, a group of academics with

0:24:57.850 --> 0:25:01.750
<v Speaker 5>close links to Canada's public school systems created documents for

0:25:01.790 --> 0:25:07.710
<v Speaker 5>kids as young as kindergartners, it's curriculum essentially, emphasizing anti-stigma

0:25:08.030 --> 0:25:11.780
<v Speaker 5>drug education. In other words, it's not okay to say

0:25:11.910 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 5>using drugs is not okay.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Even to Canadian kindergartners. Wow, I would hate that.

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.859
<v Speaker 5>Can you imagine this? You're the parent of a teenage

0:25:24.900 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 5>drug addict. In February, the government had to admit that, yeah,

0:25:27.780 --> 0:25:32.520
<v Speaker 5>we're letting 16-year-olds shoot up in government-approved safe injection sites.

0:25:39.210 --> 0:25:46.870
<v Speaker 5>This is absolutely extraordinary. They are aiding and abetting addiction

0:25:47.010 --> 0:25:49.109
<v Speaker 5>until the addict dies.

0:25:49.930 --> 0:25:50.290
<v Speaker 6>I don't.

0:25:50.690 --> 0:25:51.770
<v Speaker 2>In astonishing numbers.

0:25:51.869 --> 0:25:54.790
<v Speaker 6>I don't actually know that much about Canadian politics. I've

0:25:54.810 --> 0:25:57.510
<v Speaker 6>driven across most of Canada a couple of times. I

0:25:57.790 --> 0:25:59.810
<v Speaker 6>wonder if it's like the United States, because I like

0:25:59.910 --> 0:26:02.790
<v Speaker 6>rural areas wherever I go, anywhere in the world. I

0:26:02.830 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 6>prefer them to cities because that's the way I grew up.

0:26:05.910 --> 0:26:08.990
<v Speaker 6>But like driving across Canada and stopping all these tiny

0:26:09.020 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 6>little towns and everything like that, it didn't strike me

0:26:11.900 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 6>as people who think Hardcore drugs and prisoners doing taxpayer

0:26:17.500 --> 0:26:19.460
<v Speaker 6>all made sense. But so is it like the United

0:26:19.500 --> 0:26:22.139
<v Speaker 6>States where those people ain't voting for any of that stuff?

0:26:22.550 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 6>It's the population in Vancouver and Toronto that drives it.

0:26:27.930 --> 0:26:28.630
<v Speaker 2>Precisely, yeah.

0:26:28.930 --> 0:26:32.670
<v Speaker 5>Canada is, politically speaking, very much like we've mentioned Oregon

0:26:32.710 --> 0:26:33.669
<v Speaker 5>or Washington State.

0:26:34.450 --> 0:26:36.369
<v Speaker 2>Very large places full of.

0:26:36.470 --> 0:26:43.230
<v Speaker 5>Rural areas, communities, small towns with reasonable, smart, practical people.

0:26:44.210 --> 0:26:46.909
<v Speaker 5>Because of the weather and geography and everything else, they

0:26:46.930 --> 0:26:50.910
<v Speaker 5>are so vastly outnumbered by the woke city dwellers.

0:26:50.950 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 2>They just don't get a say. That's nuts stuff.

0:26:55.460 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 6>And then, again, you add in the assisted suicide stuff,

0:26:57.820 --> 0:27:00.020
<v Speaker 6>which we should talk more about because that's just where

0:27:00.060 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 6>it's gone. The statistics that came out the other day

0:27:02.220 --> 0:27:07.460
<v Speaker 6>on who's actually using it reminds me of the legalizing

0:27:07.500 --> 0:27:10.719
<v Speaker 6>marijuana debate we had in the United States. It's not

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 6>turned out anything like people claimed it would all those years.

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:17.940
<v Speaker 6>And the same thing is true of the assisted suicide

0:27:17.980 --> 0:27:22.950
<v Speaker 6>in Canada. It is majority not people who have an

0:27:23.070 --> 0:27:25.770
<v Speaker 6>illness and want to determine when they get the leak. No,

0:27:26.010 --> 0:27:28.350
<v Speaker 6>it's people who are just ain't digging life. That's who's

0:27:28.410 --> 0:27:31.129
<v Speaker 6>mostly killing themselves. People under pressure.

0:27:31.190 --> 0:27:33.430
<v Speaker 2>Assisted by the government. Right, right.

0:27:34.100 --> 0:27:37.540
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and even Oregon, to Oregon's credit, to the extent

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:41.699
<v Speaker 5>that Oregon deserves any credit. I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that,

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:42.659
<v Speaker 5>because there are a lot.

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Of sane, reasonable people in Oregon. They're just outnumbered.

0:27:45.140 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 5>But even they have rolled back some of these Canadian-style

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:50.580
<v Speaker 5>drug laws because they've realized, oh, we thought it would

0:27:50.619 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 5>work out like X, but it's worked out like Y,

0:27:53.180 --> 0:27:59.369
<v Speaker 5>Y being unbelievable numbers of deaths of young people in

0:27:59.410 --> 0:28:03.100
<v Speaker 5>the streets. And again, you know, and this bears repeating

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 5>a lot because I run into people all the time

0:28:06.780 --> 0:28:09.399
<v Speaker 5>who have no idea of this. And there's a danger

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.700
<v Speaker 5>in doing this, particularly as we've been doing it a

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:15.149
<v Speaker 5>long time. Like earlier, Jack, I dove right into the

0:28:15.250 --> 0:28:19.610
<v Speaker 5>James Tallarico stuff in Texas. And Jack jumped in and said,

0:28:19.670 --> 0:28:21.850
<v Speaker 5>James Tallarico is running for the Senate in Texas as

0:28:21.869 --> 0:28:24.250
<v Speaker 5>a Democrat, blah, blah, blah. Because you forget that not

0:28:24.310 --> 0:28:26.730
<v Speaker 5>everybody hears every segment of the show and not everybody's

0:28:26.750 --> 0:28:28.230
<v Speaker 5>been listening the whole time, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

0:28:28.650 --> 0:28:28.750
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:28:30.770 --> 0:28:35.710
<v Speaker 5>Modern meth is manufactured by the vast, vast majority is

0:28:35.770 --> 0:28:36.889
<v Speaker 5>the drug cartels in Mexico.

0:28:37.020 --> 0:28:38.420
<v Speaker 2>That's what's on the streets of America.

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:43.540
<v Speaker 5>It's not biker gangs in, you know, the outskirts of Bakersfield, California,

0:28:44.820 --> 0:28:45.460
<v Speaker 5>doing up the meth.

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 2>It is the Mexican cartels.

0:28:48.980 --> 0:28:52.270
<v Speaker 6>It's former high school science teachers who have cancer.

0:28:52.290 --> 0:28:52.850
<v Speaker 2>In some cases.

0:28:53.170 --> 0:28:56.630
<v Speaker 5>That is true in some cases, yeah. Oh, speaking of suicide,

0:28:56.690 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 5>the young fellow with... Cerebral palsy, is that what.

0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Who killed himself. It's so sad.

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:05.030
<v Speaker 6>The kid from Breaking Bad, from the family.

0:29:05.050 --> 0:29:07.310
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:29:07.530 --> 0:29:09.390
<v Speaker 6>So, do we know anything about that? What do we

0:29:09.410 --> 0:29:10.190
<v Speaker 6>know about that, Katie?

0:29:10.230 --> 0:29:11.650
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Have you heard anything?

0:29:12.030 --> 0:29:13.830
<v Speaker 6>He was the guy that went around the country and

0:29:13.870 --> 0:29:15.270
<v Speaker 6>spoke to other people with various.

0:29:15.930 --> 0:29:17.090
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, disability activists.

0:29:17.270 --> 0:29:17.450
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, R.J.

0:29:17.450 --> 0:29:17.550
<v Speaker 4>Mitt.

0:29:17.570 --> 0:29:18.430
<v Speaker 2>Quite an eloquent one.

0:29:18.830 --> 0:29:19.110
<v Speaker 5>R.J.

0:29:19.190 --> 0:29:20.710
<v Speaker 2>Mitt, I believe, M-I-T-T-E.

0:29:20.730 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>He.

0:29:23.170 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 4>Apparently, recently had become the target of a lot of

0:29:27.300 --> 0:29:30.940
<v Speaker 4>online bullying. If you go to any of his social media,

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:32.940
<v Speaker 4>as you can see it, it was just a flood

0:29:33.100 --> 0:29:35.140
<v Speaker 4>of it. And they were saying that, he could never

0:29:35.180 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 4>do anything as big as Breaking Bad and all of

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 4>this stuff.

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.610
<v Speaker 6>Well, how old was he when he started on Breaking Bad,

0:29:41.630 --> 0:29:42.130
<v Speaker 6>would you guess?

0:29:42.130 --> 0:29:44.130
<v Speaker 2>14?

0:29:44.610 --> 0:29:46.950
<v Speaker 6>Because this is what I said to my kids last night,

0:29:46.970 --> 0:29:48.820
<v Speaker 6>because my oldest kid who's seen Breaking Bad.

0:29:49.470 --> 0:29:51.610
<v Speaker 2>said, oh, you know, and then that's.

0:29:51.450 --> 0:29:54.970
<v Speaker 6>Sad no matter what, but I said, he's a child star,

0:29:55.150 --> 0:29:59.390
<v Speaker 6>regardless of his ailment. Child stars usually go this direction.

0:29:59.690 --> 0:30:01.750
<v Speaker 2>They just do. And I ran through some of the examples.

0:30:02.290 --> 0:30:04.500
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. We're talking about this on our, yeah, on our

0:30:04.540 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 5>morning walk that to peak in your teen years and

0:30:09.220 --> 0:30:13.500
<v Speaker 5>peak so visibly and not only like not settle down

0:30:13.540 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 5>to a good solid career as a, you know, character

0:30:16.020 --> 0:30:18.340
<v Speaker 5>actor or whatever he might do, or, you know, manage

0:30:18.380 --> 0:30:20.100
<v Speaker 5>a grocery store in Des Moines or what have you,

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.980
<v Speaker 5>often these people have an inability to get much going

0:30:25.180 --> 0:30:29.330
<v Speaker 5>at all. And that's incredibly psychically difficult to take.

0:30:29.410 --> 0:30:32.690
<v Speaker 6>Combined with the culture you're around as a child and

0:30:32.770 --> 0:30:33.209
<v Speaker 6>if you're.

0:30:33.050 --> 0:30:36.490
<v Speaker 2>A child star. And then the horrors of social media.

0:30:36.830 --> 0:30:38.030
<v Speaker 2>Drags lots of people down.

0:30:38.970 --> 0:30:43.830
<v Speaker 6>So if mostly completely healthy, really attractive, talented people who

0:30:44.070 --> 0:30:46.610
<v Speaker 6>are child stars end up drug addicts are dead.

0:30:46.630 --> 0:30:50.890
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He's not an outlier. He's in the mainstream.

0:30:51.570 --> 0:30:53.990
<v Speaker 5>I interrupted myself with a couple of different tangents, but

0:30:54.090 --> 0:30:56.350
<v Speaker 5>to get back to the point, the meth made by

0:30:56.370 --> 0:30:58.450
<v Speaker 5>the cartels right now, it's a different chemical formula. It's

0:30:58.490 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 5>much easier and more efficient to make. But the problem

0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 5>is it causes terrible mental illness problems. It is degenerative.

0:31:06.860 --> 0:31:08.860
<v Speaker 2>Is that the right word? To the brain.

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 5>It is damaging to the brain in a way that

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:15.229
<v Speaker 5>old meth was not.

0:31:15.930 --> 0:31:16.390
<v Speaker 2>And so.

0:31:16.910 --> 0:31:19.510
<v Speaker 5>You have these people being eased to death on the pavement,

0:31:19.670 --> 0:31:23.450
<v Speaker 5>as Nellie Bowles put it, smoking this new legalized or

0:31:23.490 --> 0:31:26.390
<v Speaker 5>we don't crack down on it meth, but it's creating

0:31:26.650 --> 0:31:29.570
<v Speaker 5>all the mentally ill drug zombies on the street. It's

0:31:29.630 --> 0:31:31.730
<v Speaker 5>not that being on the street has made them crazy. No,

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:35.380
<v Speaker 5>it's the frigging meth. And what is our policy? The

0:31:35.420 --> 0:31:36.980
<v Speaker 5>worst thing in the world you could do to these

0:31:37.020 --> 0:31:38.310
<v Speaker 5>people is let them have it.

0:31:38.460 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 6>And what is our policy for people who've destroyed their

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 6>brains and no longer have the option of being a

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:48.030
<v Speaker 6>productive member of society? Let them hang out and steal

0:31:48.110 --> 0:31:50.970
<v Speaker 6>stuff and threaten my life? Or die on the sidewalk

0:31:51.010 --> 0:31:54.670
<v Speaker 6>if you're compassionate? That seems like a bad road to

0:31:54.710 --> 0:31:55.730
<v Speaker 6>go down. Either one of those.

0:31:57.050 --> 0:32:01.930
<v Speaker 2>Progressivism is a mental disorder. It ignores reality. We'll finish

0:32:01.970 --> 0:32:08.780
<v Speaker 2>strong next. Armstrong and Getty.

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:10.100
<v Speaker 7>Also, I haven't been to the gym in so long,

0:32:10.140 --> 0:32:12.260
<v Speaker 7>I didn't know women just dress like whores now.

0:32:14.570 --> 0:32:15.190
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm sorry.

0:32:15.210 --> 0:32:17.770
<v Speaker 7>There's no other way to describe. I say, have you

0:32:17.790 --> 0:32:18.550
<v Speaker 7>seen it? I've seen it.

0:32:18.590 --> 0:32:22.490
<v Speaker 2>The shorts. Have you seen the shorts? There's neon.

0:32:22.530 --> 0:32:25.670
<v Speaker 7>They're like the only they're like artificial bait colored.

0:32:26.990 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Wrinkles. And don't look.

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.460
<v Speaker 7>You're not allowed to look. For real, don't look because

0:32:31.500 --> 0:32:33.940
<v Speaker 7>they are filming. I'm I'm in the background of like

0:32:33.940 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 7>10 TikToks right now.

0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 6>So play that again, because two reasons. One, it is

0:32:40.460 --> 0:32:44.500
<v Speaker 6>now had combined something like eight million views. which is

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:47.110
<v Speaker 6>about the number Saturday Night Live ever gets for its

0:32:47.170 --> 0:32:52.540
<v Speaker 6>biggest episodes, all combined, over weeks or months. And so

0:32:52.580 --> 0:32:55.620
<v Speaker 6>the attention's probably working for both Shane Gillis and Saturday

0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:58.510
<v Speaker 6>Night Live. But the controversy continues as I was looking

0:32:58.570 --> 0:33:02.270
<v Speaker 6>up at the view, and they said, women across the

0:33:02.330 --> 0:33:06.630
<v Speaker 6>country continue to be incensed at the vile monologue Shane

0:33:06.650 --> 0:33:08.770
<v Speaker 6>Gillis presented on Saturday Night Live.

0:33:09.210 --> 0:33:11.090
<v Speaker 2>And then they had a bunch of women.

0:33:12.670 --> 0:33:14.870
<v Speaker 6>In workout clothes talking about, you have no idea how

0:33:14.970 --> 0:33:16.170
<v Speaker 6>hard I work at the gym.

0:33:16.290 --> 0:33:19.750
<v Speaker 2>Like, that is a refutation. Yeah, you're working hard while

0:33:19.790 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>dressed like a whore, yes. Here's your host for Final Thoughts,

0:33:25.220 --> 0:33:25.700
<v Speaker 2>Joe Getty.

0:33:26.180 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 5>Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

0:33:28.260 --> 0:33:30.180
<v Speaker 5>to wrap things up for the day. Let's begin with

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:32.690
<v Speaker 5>Michelangelo in the control room. Michael, what's your final thought?

0:33:32.850 --> 0:33:33.690
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's going on.

0:33:33.730 --> 0:33:36.650
<v Speaker 4>But Brett Baer is interviewing Marco Rubio this afternoon, who's

0:33:36.690 --> 0:33:37.790
<v Speaker 4>claiming he saw Bigfoot.

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.190
<v Speaker 5>A reference to a segment a couple of hours ago

0:33:42.210 --> 0:33:44.570
<v Speaker 5>in the show. Hope somebody enjoyed that. Katie Green, our

0:33:44.590 --> 0:33:46.790
<v Speaker 5>esteemed newswoman, has a final thought. Katie?

0:33:47.170 --> 0:33:49.210
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking that SNL is going to have a field

0:33:49.230 --> 0:33:51.470
<v Speaker 4>day with that boozy candidate, Jamie West.

0:33:51.710 --> 0:33:55.700
<v Speaker 2>Oh, wow. You might be right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:33:55.780 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, shit. Ah! Ah!

0:33:57.960 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Ah!

0:33:59.860 --> 0:34:02.620
<v Speaker 6>Jack, a final thought for us. What's her trajectory? I

0:34:02.660 --> 0:34:04.240
<v Speaker 6>feel like I should get a hold of her an agent.

0:34:04.310 --> 0:34:06.030
<v Speaker 6>Is she going to be on Dancing with the Stars?

0:34:06.110 --> 0:34:08.110
<v Speaker 6>Is she going to do a cameo on Saturday Night

0:34:08.170 --> 0:34:11.430
<v Speaker 6>Live or Jimmy Fallon tonight or something? There's got to

0:34:11.469 --> 0:34:14.330
<v Speaker 6>be a way to take advantage of this publicity.

0:34:14.710 --> 0:34:15.930
<v Speaker 2>She's hot to a girl.

0:34:16.050 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 5>She's got a brief but lucrative future in front of her.

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:22.720
<v Speaker 5>T-shirts of her leaning back in her chair with the caption.

0:34:22.739 --> 0:34:25.540
<v Speaker 2>How about at your bar? You know, you have her

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:26.200
<v Speaker 2>show up at the bar.

0:34:26.219 --> 0:34:28.460
<v Speaker 6>She can be at the bar Friday night drinking shots

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:29.240
<v Speaker 6>with the guys.

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:33.790
<v Speaker 2>I'd go to that. Heck, I would, too. Yeah. Wow.

0:34:34.850 --> 0:34:36.750
<v Speaker 2>Is there a word? Here's my final thought. It's a question.

0:34:36.770 --> 0:34:40.049
<v Speaker 5>Is there a word for the permanently aggrieved to just

0:34:40.570 --> 0:34:42.150
<v Speaker 5>go from thing to thing to thing to.

0:34:42.050 --> 0:34:44.690
<v Speaker 2>Pretend to be offended by? Is there a term for that?

0:34:44.710 --> 0:34:46.969
<v Speaker 2>We need one. Every term I thought of would get

0:34:47.030 --> 0:34:47.509
<v Speaker 2>us in trouble.

0:34:48.270 --> 0:34:48.660
<v Speaker 7>Oh, too bad.

0:34:48.670 --> 0:34:50.989
