Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong, and Jetty, I know he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Halloween and the election are almost here. So whether it's
Speaker 3: trigger treaters or campaign workers, when that doorbell rings, you
Speaker 3: hit the lights and pretend you're not home.
Speaker 2: That's what we do. I love Halloween before the election.
Speaker 3: First you egg someone's house, and then you figure out
Speaker 3: which candidate would make those eggs cheaper.
Speaker 2: But it should be fun Halloween.
Speaker 3: There's a chance you could see someone dresses the Menendez brothers,
Speaker 3: and then there's a chance you could.
Speaker 2: Actually see the actual Menando's brother.
Speaker 4: Really could happen. Yeah, we're about to talk about that.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't like the cynical view of a Halloween.
Speaker 4: I love kids coming to my house. I'm not going
Speaker 4: to turn off the lights and hide. Absolutely not freaking
Speaker 4: love it. And I unfortunately I'm in a cul de
Speaker 4: sac sort of thing now where I just don't I
Speaker 4: don't think any kids are gonna come my direction, which
Speaker 4: is disappointing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we accidentally moved from a hood where like people
Speaker 5: were trucked in to go door to door, which ended
Speaker 5: up being a bit much, honestly, But then move to
Speaker 5: a hood where nobody does, and it was sad and depressing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, neither one of my kids.
Speaker 4: My oldest is going to run around with his friends
Speaker 4: and do some stuff, but he's going on fifteen, and
Speaker 4: then my going on thirteen year old is thinking he's
Speaker 4: too old for it too. It's disappointing for me. Those
Speaker 4: were good times, man, when I got some neighbors right now,
Speaker 4: they got the little kids like probably probably like six
Speaker 4: and four or something like that, and they're so excited
Speaker 4: about getting dressed up. One of them's going to be
Speaker 4: the Mandalorian and the girl's going to be a princess,
Speaker 4: And just I loved that.
Speaker 5: If it were not such a short chapter in your life,
Speaker 5: it would not be so precious.
Speaker 4: True, if it went on for decades, you'd think, oh
Speaker 4: my god, it's Halloween again.
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly. That's the bargain we strike with the universe.
Speaker 5: I'm Joe Getty or something like that. Meanwhile, the Menenda's
Speaker 5: brothers who shot gunned their parents, they see they were
Speaker 5: past the whole charming uh trigger trading age and they
Speaker 5: murdered their parents. So so here's it is a shame,
Speaker 5: it doesn't last longer.
Speaker 2: You're right. Here's the CBS Evening News.
Speaker 5: Yes, last year we were trigger treating in ghost costumes.
Speaker 4: This year they're shot gunning us. Oh the kids grow
Speaker 4: up so fast. Last year, it seems like yesterday you
Speaker 4: were Spider Man. Now there's a gun in my face.
Speaker 4: Here's the CBS News laying out the story.
Speaker 1: Some prosecutors in the DA's office oppose any release, adamant
Speaker 1: that this was a crime about money and not abuse.
Speaker 1: Family members have been mostly united, and at least one
Speaker 1: family member is against their release. The brother's attorney says
Speaker 1: they could be home as early as Thanksgiving. The legal
Speaker 1: experts we've spoken with say that's unlikely. So whiteesnaxt. The
Speaker 1: case will be handed over to a judge who will
Speaker 1: hold a hearing in about four weeks time.
Speaker 4: So I haven't watched any of the men Ninda's brother's stuff.
Speaker 4: Somebody is to Katie, you've talked about it, but somebody
Speaker 4: told me the other day they watched it. And this
Speaker 4: is somebody that like worked in has worked in a
Speaker 4: various jobs where I mean, they're not they're exposed to,
Speaker 4: you know, rough stuff sometimes, and they said they wish
Speaker 4: they hadn't Like, they heard things they're never going to
Speaker 4: be able to forget that they wish they hadn't heard.
Speaker 2: Was it that bad, Katie? Some of the descriptions of.
Speaker 6: Yes, I am similar to that where I've I've been
Speaker 6: around crime and all this stuff and heard horrible stories
Speaker 6: growing up, and I had to turn it off a
Speaker 6: couple of times. So they enjoyed that on a Friday,
Speaker 6: very very descriptive to the abuse.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's mostly about how, if it's real, what they
Speaker 4: claim their dad was doing to them as kids is
Speaker 4: the sort of thing that you'll wish you hadn't heard.
Speaker 4: So I'm not God, I'm not gonna watch it. But
Speaker 4: I thought we were talking about the utter brutality of
Speaker 4: the slayings. No, no funny you for everyone. No, everything
Speaker 4: I've heard is the it's the abuse they claim, the descriptions,
Speaker 4: the very detailed descriptions of what dad was making them
Speaker 4: do throughout their childhoods, and if it's true, you know,
Speaker 4: part of the reason I imagine they go so far. The
Speaker 4: goal clearly of these these shows is to make you,
Speaker 4: you know, either feel like they ought to get out
Speaker 4: or or or a way to justify why they would
Speaker 4: kill their parents.
Speaker 2: Seems like yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 4: So has the mood turned that much. That is the
Speaker 4: reason that the DA came out. Yes, Dan thinks they
Speaker 4: served their debts of society. I suppose we should hear
Speaker 4: from him.
Speaker 2: What number is that? Twenty eight?
Speaker 7: We're going to recommend to the court that the life
Speaker 7: without the possibility for all be removed and they would
Speaker 7: be sentenced for murder, which because there are two murders involved,
Speaker 7: that will be fifty years to life. However, because of
Speaker 7: their age under the law, since they were under twenty
Speaker 7: six years of age at the time that the scrimes occurred,
Speaker 7: they will be eligible for parole.
Speaker 2: You needed.
Speaker 4: That's the most discussed cone. Yeah, that's the most distracting
Speaker 4: voice ever.
Speaker 2: Uh oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: His uh George Soros sponsored Marxist trying to tear the
Speaker 5: system down, releasing criminals into the streets, empty the prisons
Speaker 5: is annoying, but his voice is more annoying.
Speaker 2: It's so distracting. I have trouble focusing. He could be tense.
Speaker 2: This is important information you need to save your life,
Speaker 2: and all.
Speaker 4: I'd be thinking is same as Piggy just say, miss
Speaker 4: Piggy ones, you've got part of the voice, the Kermit part,
Speaker 4: but you've got to get the weirdly eastern European parts
Speaker 4: as well. I released criminals onto the streets because I
Speaker 4: am a Marxist anyway.
Speaker 5: So what he made reference to there was one of
Speaker 5: many fine lovely turned criminals loose California laws. If you're
Speaker 5: under twenty six, when you commit a heinous crime, you're
Speaker 5: eligible for youthful parole, also known as the Hey gang
Speaker 5: bangers and cartels, be sure to have your younger members do.
Speaker 2: The murders law. Oh good one. Yeah, anyway, so.
Speaker 5: These guys would be eligible for a youthful parole under
Speaker 5: California law immediately. The hearing on the matter could be
Speaker 5: held in thirty to forty five days. LA Superior Court
Speaker 5: judge will ultimately decide whether the brothers will be resent Well.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at ABC right now and they've got up there.
Speaker 4: They're talking to some of the family members and it
Speaker 4: says new hope for the Mennendez brothers. Well, that wording
Speaker 4: implies that they are somehow wrongly being held or it's
Speaker 4: a tragedy. Right, you wouldn't put new hope. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: word it that way unless I was pro them getting out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'd say new hope for anybody who has new hope,
Speaker 5: whether they're guilty or not. But I despise George Giscon
Speaker 5: and everything he had he stands for. I think he
Speaker 5: and his philosophy are one of the greatest threats to
Speaker 5: the United States Neo Marxism.
Speaker 2: But what he said is correct.
Speaker 5: He said I'll never excuse murder, and these brutal, premeditated murders,
Speaker 5: they are appropriately sentenced. At the time when they were tried,
Speaker 5: they got life without the possibility of parole. I just
Speaker 5: think that given the current state of the law, and
Speaker 5: given our assessment of their behavior in prison, they deserve
Speaker 5: the opportunity to be reevaluated and perhaps reintegrated into the community.
Speaker 5: The way sexual abuse, sexual torture, etc. Of victims is
Speaker 5: considered in sentencing has changed a great deal in the
Speaker 5: last thirty years.
Speaker 2: So he's not wrong.
Speaker 5: Some of the changes in the law and practice you
Speaker 5: might agree with, you might disagree with, but he's not wrong.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I'm fine with the direction it's gone there.
Speaker 4: But the question is whether they are actually abused like
Speaker 4: this or they made it up. Having researched it would
Speaker 4: appear to come up with a great horrific story to
Speaker 4: justify killing their parents so they could go driving around
Speaker 4: and convertible and go to the mall.
Speaker 5: With new found unearned riches. Yeah, and there's a great
Speaker 5: deal of evidence that, Yeah, their defense was entirely premeditated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is a heck of a thing as opposed
Speaker 2: to organic.
Speaker 5: Real On the other hand, I've got to admit I
Speaker 5: really don't feel like relitigating the entire case and all
Speaker 5: the evidence.
Speaker 2: I'll let the LA Superior Court handle it.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 4: It's getting a tremendous amount of attention though, so I
Speaker 4: think a lot of people are relitigating the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Premeditated is the wrong way to look at it, because
Speaker 4: you could be premeditated and still justified in my mind,
Speaker 4: of course. You know, in fact, it probably be a
Speaker 4: smart thing to do to plan it out rather than
Speaker 4: do it in a fit of rage where you might
Speaker 4: be unsuccessful or kill yourself.
Speaker 5: Or whatever, although that makes it murder and not defensible. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we're talking about I'm talking about the defense was premeditated.
Speaker 5: We were sexually abused, therefore we had to kill them.
Speaker 5: Was plotted out as opposed to being legit. That's what
Speaker 5: actually happened, which is akt of an interesting thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, how about this, Well I'll ask one question
Speaker 4: after this.

Speaker 4: Run your game, Hey, Hans, and listen to some of
Speaker 4: these family members on ABC that are talking right now
Speaker 4: from the Menendez family and see if what they have
Speaker 4: to say is interesting or not. I'm kind of curious
Speaker 4: as to how many of them want them to get out,
Speaker 4: and how many of them don't, and what their reasons are.
Speaker 5: Did you hear that a member of Minudo, that famous
Speaker 5: young boy music group, came forward and said, yeah, the
Speaker 5: old man sexually assaulted me too in the eighties.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Eh, that's interesting. I guess it would all
Speaker 4: come down to whether or not. Well, either way, if
Speaker 4: one of the Menendez brothers is moving into your neighborhood,
Speaker 4: are you concerned.
Speaker 2: Somewhat? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, just because they've been in prison for decades, and
Speaker 5: you don't like sometimes small time criminals become big time
Speaker 5: criminals in prison.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be overly concerned. I don't think I would be.
Speaker 4: Rightly or only I don't think. I mean, seems like
Speaker 4: such a unique circumstance either way around. I don't know
Speaker 4: if I feel like they're, you know, acts wielding lunatics
Speaker 4: that are going to run the streets hurting me or
Speaker 4: my family. Yeah, it's interesting because I also don't think
Speaker 4: they ought to get out if they did it. The
Speaker 4: fundamental question here answers your question. Are they a couple
Speaker 4: of psychopaths who happened to be brothers who saw on
Speaker 4: opportunity to get lots of money and because they're psychopaths,
Speaker 4: they don't care about human life, which is what the prosecution.
Speaker 5: Successfully claimed. Or are they child sex abuse victims who
Speaker 5: and the worst act can ever imagine, Yeah, lost their
Speaker 5: minds and killed their parents. Whether it's justified or not
Speaker 5: under the law, you can understand it. If it's the
Speaker 5: first part, yeah, I'm concerned they're in my neighborhood. If
Speaker 5: it's the second thing, no, I'm not the least concerned.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, if it's the way, if it's what they
Speaker 4: describe happened, you would make anyone crazy, Yeah, anyone murderously crazy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what the whole thing hinges on.
Speaker 4: Just overall, this phenomenon of of NPR radio shows or
Speaker 4: Netflix specials or whatever, digging up old crimes and you know,
Speaker 4: trying to push them one direction or another, is all
Speaker 4: about the podcasts man. It's yeah, the various podcasts. It's
Speaker 4: a hot thing right now, no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all.
Speaker 5: Right, there's a new But we gotta work in a
Speaker 5: murdered ours. That's that's the only thing we don't have.
Speaker 5: Michael kills somebody would you only we'll hunch you down
Speaker 5: and bring it adjustice only murders in the radio station.
Speaker 5: We'll get it going.
Speaker 4: There's a new poll out half of Americans think Trump's
Speaker 4: a fascist. So okay, made me tired just saying it.
Speaker 5: If you missed last hour, we did a with all
Speaker 5: Do Modusty, great feature on how the Republican gets called
Speaker 5: a fascist or a Nazi or Hitler every single election.
Speaker 2: For like more than the past half century.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always it's something that is bored Romney Paul
Speaker 4: monsters like that of Paul Ryan, monstrous fascist. So please,
Speaker 4: it's hilarious when you look back on it. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: was our two. You could get it in podcast Warm
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty on demand. Before we get to important news,
Speaker 4: Katie Green, Katie, Katie the news Lady, Katie Green the
Speaker 4: news Machine is about to have her first pumpkin spiced
Speaker 4: anything of the fall season.
Speaker 2: And what is it?
Speaker 6: Uh, it is pumpkin spice creamer in my coffee.
Speaker 2: There you go, I'll fall like, Oh, that's so good.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 2: Who did I hear the other day? It's a flavor bolly.
Speaker 4: It was in honor of former producer Sean somebody smart
Speaker 4: who I respect used the phrase the other day. Chemicals
Speaker 4: designed to trick your brain into believing it is a
Speaker 4: flavor that reminds you of the season, which kind of
Speaker 4: takes the fun out of it, because that's what it is.
Speaker 4: There's no pumpkin or anything in anything.
Speaker 2: Mostly don't kill this for me.
Speaker 6: I'm not listening to you.
Speaker 2: That's what he does, Kate.
Speaker 6: I'm here to put a stop to it.
Speaker 2: No, jack down.
Speaker 4: You can't have pumpkin stuff obviously that has pumpkin in it,
Speaker 4: But a lot of your pumpkin stuff has there's a
Speaker 4: pumpkin hasn't come within a mile.
Speaker 5: He roams across the countryside at night like the headless horseman,
Speaker 5: seeking out joy, and wherever he finds it, he extinguishes it.
Speaker 2: That's true, is science talk.
Speaker 6: I don't care if a pumpkin hasn't come near this dreamer.
Speaker 6: It tastes like pumpkin spice, and I'm happy with it.
Speaker 4: That that's true what Joe said about trying to stop
Speaker 4: other people's joy.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 4: Also, I am really trying hard to not have my
Speaker 4: body fall prey to chemicals designed in a corporation to
Speaker 4: trick my brain into making me want to eat more
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 2: Big food is evil. What's that?
Speaker 4: Do you mean more fast food than it?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, buddy, I know.
Speaker 2: That's why I need to fight it harder.
Speaker 4: Uh But well, like chips and stuff like that, anything
Speaker 4: like that, where it's just I don't know. I should
Speaker 4: find the sixty minute segment from years ago and and
Speaker 4: then link it because it's so damned interesting. They figured
Speaker 4: out how to make it have a burst of flavor
Speaker 4: that your brain reacts to more than any other flavor
Speaker 4: because of evolutionary reasons and then make the flavor go
Speaker 4: away instantly so you get the burst, and then it
Speaker 4: instantly goes away so that you crave more of it.
Speaker 4: You're completely I'm completely being manipulated by these things and
Speaker 4: it's so bad for me.
Speaker 5: So a bang bang at KFC, then Domino's. Yes, a
Speaker 5: bag of chips.
Speaker 6: Now Joe and my brains are hanging out together because
Speaker 6: that was the exactly where I was going to go.
Speaker 6: I need to not do all of those. Five yeah,
Speaker 6: I five. Well, Jack, this has been fun. Thank you
Speaker 6: for killing my life and dreams.
Speaker 2: This has been fun.
Speaker 4: So I actually had Katie confirm this because I saw
Speaker 4: it yesterday and I never got around to confirming whether
Speaker 4: it was true or not. The La Times declines to
Speaker 4: endorse Kamala Harris, okay, right about this man, and so
Speaker 4: the interesting thing is now the editorial chief has quit
Speaker 4: over that it's true, because I thought that might be
Speaker 4: one of those things where it's not true and they're
Speaker 4: jerking around. You have to confirm everything you see now,
Speaker 4: absolutely everything you see.
Speaker 2: But it is true.
Speaker 4: And there's an article in the New York Times today
Speaker 4: because this woman used to work at the New York
Speaker 4: Times and went back to her friends and say, here's
Speaker 4: what went down. The owner wouldn't allow them to endorse.
Speaker 2: They didn't.
Speaker 4: He didn't want to endorse anyone. It wasn't like a
Speaker 4: pro Trump.
Speaker 5: But he wanted like a side by side pro and
Speaker 5: con of each one's service and stances policies.
Speaker 4: So yeah, the owner went to the editorial board and said,
Speaker 4: I want you to draft a factual analysis of all
Speaker 4: the positive and negative policies of each candidate during their
Speaker 4: tenures at the White House and how these policies affected
Speaker 4: the nation, Which sounds like a fantastic thing to do
Speaker 4: if you could even try to do it in kind
Speaker 4: of a non partisan way. And with this clear and
Speaker 4: non partisan information side by side, our readers could decide
Speaker 4: who they think is worthy to be president for the
Speaker 4: next four years. Instead of adopting this path as suggested,
Speaker 4: the editorial board chose to remain silent. And I accept
Speaker 4: their decision. So I guess because they didn't want to
Speaker 4: present any positive stuff for Trump or something, or it
Speaker 4: was too much work. I don't know why they refused
Speaker 4: to play along with the owner.
Speaker 5: I loved the owner's idea, but the editorial director gals.
Speaker 5: What she wanted to do is the more traditional thing newspapers. Uh,
Speaker 5: And she couldn't accept that dictate from the owners, so
Speaker 5: she quit.
Speaker 2: That's fine, everybody's happy, go work somewhere else. Well.
Speaker 4: She also said that these are very dangerous times and
Speaker 4: we can't be doing this.
Speaker 8: So she clearly hitler, Let's do a poll free, Paul,
Speaker 8: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax
Speaker 8: on social Security benefits.
Speaker 2: Mas, listen to that proud that's in Vegas.
Speaker 4: So he said that there's a hoping to win Nevada,
Speaker 4: which I guess looks pretty good in the private polling
Speaker 4: for the Republicans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of that stuff could never happen.
Speaker 5: But to you in real life, I have never run
Speaker 5: into anyone that I recall who's in favor of taxing
Speaker 5: social Security benefits. The reaction to that very concept is unanimous.
Speaker 2: It makes no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, you take this money from me, whether
Speaker 5: I like it or not, and my money that I'm
Speaker 5: supposed to be having old and allegedly you're gonna give
Speaker 5: it back to me at some point so I don't
Speaker 5: starve when I'm retired. But you're not gonna get any
Speaker 5: decent returns on it like I could, and then you're
Speaker 5: gonna give it to me and tax me on it
Speaker 5: like it's income.
Speaker 2: Explain that to me.
Speaker 5: Please not to mention the paperwork involved, you know what?
Speaker 5: Or why don't you just take out the amount you're
Speaker 5: gonna tax or whatever. It's just it is such a
Speaker 5: fuster clock. Pardon me, it's frustrating anyway. Democracy doesn't work.
Speaker 5: Monarchy Now, I thought this was a really good insight.
Speaker 5: Bjorn Lomberg happened to write a piece that I came across.
Speaker 5: But and this is somehow kind of passed by me.
Speaker 5: One typically divisive topic has gone pretty much unmentioned in
Speaker 5: the last couple of months of the campaign, and that's
Speaker 5: climate change.
Speaker 2: Why you're wrong.
Speaker 4: The UN is out just in the last few minutes
Speaker 4: saying the world is now in a climate crunch time.
Speaker 4: Greenhouse gases have hit unprecedented levels now in climate crunch time.
Speaker 5: The video appeals come from the front office, right, the
Speaker 5: coaches can't ask for an appeal during climate crunch time?
Speaker 2: Or how does that work? What does that mean? UN
Speaker 2: needs to shut up? Anyway.
Speaker 5: The fact that Trump isn't on it is no surprise
Speaker 5: to anybody. But the old Kamala isn't even mentioning it
Speaker 5: is notable and it's revealing, well, is it.
Speaker 4: Because it doesn't motivate people. They've just determined that doesn't
Speaker 4: really get people to the polls.
Speaker 2: I think that's it.
Speaker 5: And it's the classic example of the topic that's the
Speaker 5: cause celeb among the elite media and university types and
Speaker 5: the loud lefties, but nobody really cares about it.
Speaker 2: I mean in terms of the bulk of the electorate.
Speaker 4: No, it's but they always jam it into a debate
Speaker 4: or a town hall. It's always got to include climate change,
Speaker 4: even though nobody freaking cares.
Speaker 5: Yes, So Kamala's mentioned climate just once. She mentioned it
Speaker 5: just once in her acceptance speech, and it really didn't
Speaker 5: come up in.
Speaker 4: Her debate with Trump. She used her time to champion
Speaker 4: domestic gas production.
Speaker 5: Make it quote very clear she won't ban fracking, although
Speaker 5: that is utterly dishonest, as the editorial board of The
Speaker 5: Wall Street Journal makes clear. She touts her support of
Speaker 5: the Inflation Reduction Act, the bizarrely hilariously named Inflation Reduction Act,
Speaker 5: as proof that she supports fracking. Of course, that was
Speaker 5: one of the greatest squanderings of money. Well, it's probably
Speaker 5: the greatest squandering of money in the history of humanity.
Speaker 5: It's almost entirely a Green New Deal Act had nothing
Speaker 5: to do with reducing inflation. And the only reason some
Speaker 5: expansion of fracking was in there is because Joe Manchin
Speaker 5: said he wouldn't vote for it unless it was in there.
Speaker 5: And then the Biden administration found a way to cheat
Speaker 5: their way around that, so they didn't really give any
Speaker 5: more fracking leases out above the bear bear bear minimum
Speaker 5: of the letter of the law, so they could get
Speaker 5: their money squandering windmill farms going so oh, and that
Speaker 5: reminds me there was I wanted to scroll down to
Speaker 5: some statistics poll results. Pardon me, I know your poll
Speaker 5: and you want to vomit. But the number of people
Speaker 5: is that I'm sorry, I've got too much information in
Speaker 5: front of me. I'm sorry, Jack, say something clever and all.
Speaker 5: Compare with those statistics, which I promise will knock yourself.
Speaker 2: Oh there it is only forty seven.
Speaker 5: Percent of voters said they would support spending one dollar
Speaker 5: more each month to fight climate chair.
Speaker 2: And oh that's not good enough, isn't Greta? They've still
Speaker 2: in our childhood. Greta, you have stolen my dreams. Thank
Speaker 2: your childhood.
Speaker 7: You have stolen my dreams.
Speaker 5: I know you're a passionate teenager. I agree, talking him
Speaker 5: in his empty words. One efing dollar a month only
Speaker 5: forty seven percent. A new Yugov survey and they do
Speaker 5: good work, showed that less than a quarter of the
Speaker 5: electorate supports a quote rapid transition to renewables. You know,
Speaker 5: it's interesting, and even among Democrats it's only a third.
Speaker 5: They so they can only get about a half of
Speaker 5: the country to agree to give a dollar a month?
Speaker 2: Is that what you said? That is correct by climate change?
Speaker 2: But a little less than half.
Speaker 4: But your government is willing to sacrifice thousands and thousands
Speaker 4: and thousands of your own dollars in uh, you know,
Speaker 4: gas prices or products being more expensive, or forcing it
Speaker 4: into electric this or that. They don't have any problem
Speaker 4: with spending lots of your money that you are not
Speaker 4: willing to put toward climate change.
Speaker 5: Right and to that end, And I've got a feature
Speaker 5: at all prepared, but I'm not sure we have time
Speaker 5: for it. I'm just gonna hit you with the headlines
Speaker 5: that I have all lined up to talk about the
Speaker 5: utter deception, the fraud that is the green energy movement.
Speaker 5: And I'm for green energy, I'm for a clean environment.
Speaker 5: I'm for all this stuff. I just in the same
Speaker 5: way that I'm for having more money in the bank.
Speaker 5: But if a Nigerian prince emails me and tells me
Speaker 5: I've won the lottery and all I have to do
Speaker 5: is send them the tax money, yeah, I'm not for that.
Speaker 5: So I'm for the goal. I'm not for the freaking
Speaker 5: fraud anyway. You're my collection of headlines. Kamala Harris's electric
Speaker 5: school bus program granted four hundred thousand dollars to a
Speaker 5: Chinese manufacturer. Then it's top executive sent Biden Harris scores
Speaker 5: of campaign cash and that doesn't prove anything, but it's
Speaker 5: pretty damned suspicious. The bombing not like being bombed, but
Speaker 5: bombing like a movie bombs. Ev is bombing worse than
Speaker 5: ever after a Manhattan project's worth of taxpayer money. And
Speaker 5: they go into the statistic for who wants to actually
Speaker 5: wants evs in the US, in Germany, across Europe, and
Speaker 5: it's pathetic. The only reason anybody ever talks about this
Speaker 5: is the billions of dollars tossed down to the bonfire
Speaker 5: of bad taxpayer funded subsidies.
Speaker 4: Man, if Tesla didn't exist, there'd be nothing going with
Speaker 4: electric cars. And that one electric car, which barely makes
Speaker 4: a dent elon musk, is a pariah to the climate people.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I just was going over some of Tesla's
Speaker 5: figures because their stock just went up. There's something like
Speaker 5: thirty three percent of the revenue came from a government subsidies.
Speaker 5: Of course this past quarter, I mean like a lot
Speaker 5: of it. Here's another headline for you. You love this one, Oh,
Speaker 5: you would have loved it, but at reset for some reason.
Speaker 2: Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 5: Pauses Oregon offshore wind program one month after championing championing, championing,
Speaker 5: that's one of the hardest words to say, I think
Speaker 5: in the English language, championing indubitably. Let me take a
Speaker 5: second hack at it if you will. I'm not the
Speaker 5: champion of this. Biden Harris administration pauses Oregon offshore wind
Speaker 5: program one month after touting it is a green energy
Speaker 5: success story. So they made a big deal about how
Speaker 5: this is a great victory for green energy. A month
Speaker 5: later they said, yeah, this is bleeding money and it
Speaker 5: doesn't ORG shut it down. Shut it down one flippant
Speaker 5: month later. I've got some big uh climate change green
Speaker 5: energy people in my orbit that.
Speaker 4: I run into and now and then, and they always
Speaker 4: tout various crap like this, and I never get into it,
Speaker 4: because what's the point. But all those wind farms and
Speaker 4: solar panels, they're hardly doing squawked, certainly in California, we
Speaker 4: have so many of them. We have to buy energy
Speaker 4: from other states to keep our lights on.
Speaker 5: And I was accosted the other day in not a
Speaker 5: bad way by an engineer who was talking about the
Speaker 5: environmental costs of evs and how in the automotive business,
Speaker 5: for gas powered cars, you've got to do this big
Speaker 5: environmental impact report on every model that does everything. That
Speaker 5: includes everything from the extraction of the materials to make it,
Speaker 5: and the rubber for the tires, and the gas that's
Speaker 5: burning in the oil and absolutely everything. But for evs,
Speaker 5: the only thing the government looks at is on the road.
Speaker 5: It's exhaust, that's it, right. No, well, wait a minute,
Speaker 5: what about the lithium, all the rare chemicals for the batteries.
Speaker 2: Now we don't need to hear about that. That's fine.
Speaker 5: It's a complete double standard for those cars from the
Speaker 5: federal government because they're siphoning trillions of dollars to their cronies.
Speaker 2: Here's my view of a wind power.
Speaker 9: You'd be doing wind, windmills, and if it does it,
Speaker 9: if it doesn't blow, you can forget about television for
Speaker 9: that night, Darling, I want to watch television. I'm sorry,
Speaker 9: the wind isn't blowing.
Speaker 2: I know a lot about wind, and.
Speaker 4: That was mocked a lot when he was I know
Speaker 4: a lot about wind. That's hilarious, but he was mocked
Speaker 4: for that, of course by the mainstream media. That feels
Speaker 4: like everybody agrees with them. Way more people be like
Speaker 4: eighty twenty agree with Trump on that.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, As it turns out, yeah, only a third
Speaker 5: of Democrats want a rapid transition to quote unquote green energy.
Speaker 5: My final note on this topic. Dressed in a sequin
Speaker 5: laced sleeveless top and puffy pink skirt, drag queen Pattigonia
Speaker 5: strides around the stage in white, high heeled boots that
Speaker 5: come up to the knees, telling the crowd that nature
Speaker 5: must be a woman, and goes into some sort of
Speaker 5: alleged comedy routine. The headline New York climate doom sayers
Speaker 5: hope to lip sync the planet to safety with an
Speaker 5: environmental drag show.
Speaker 2: It's just happened in New York. That's a way to
Speaker 2: get everybody on board.
Speaker 5: In its second year at New York Climate Week, Save
Speaker 5: Her Environmental Drag Show has become a popular attraction during
Speaker 5: the event that includes hundreds of panels activities.
Speaker 4: There's way too much in all of persuading, not even
Speaker 4: politics of preaching to the choir whoever originally came up
Speaker 4: with that saying it's hundreds of years old, Yeah, it
Speaker 4: probably is, you know, I'm sure there are versions of
Speaker 4: it that are thousands of years old. There's way too
Speaker 4: much in the persuasion business of that. I mean, because
Speaker 4: if your crowd is people that want to come to
Speaker 4: a drag show, yeah, I think the likelihood that they're
Speaker 4: on board with your environmental stuff is quite a bit higher.
Speaker 4: How are you going to reach people like my brothers
Speaker 4: who have no freaking interest whatsoever in climate change and
Speaker 4: ain't with a drag show?
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that, or the fifty three percent of Americans,
Speaker 5: so if it costs them a dollar five a month
Speaker 5: or not down with your plans.
Speaker 2: That reminds me.
Speaker 5: There's a great new piece written by and I'm not
Speaker 5: sure how to say his first name. It's ore Uy
Speaker 5: is it Roy or ruy Tashera and Yuvale Levin for
Speaker 5: the American Enterprise Institute.
Speaker 2: It's talking about.
Speaker 5: The title of its politics without winners, can either party
Speaker 5: build a majority coalition?
Speaker 2: And the point of their.
Speaker 5: Peace is that if either party could just be normal,
Speaker 5: could not well let me, I'll put it to you
Speaker 5: the opposite way. The only thing stopping the parties transforming
Speaker 5: themselves from minority to majority parties is themselves. They have
Speaker 5: quote prioritized the wishes of their most intensely devoted voters
Speaker 5: who would never vote for the other party over the
Speaker 5: priorities of winnable voters who could go either way.
Speaker 2: But that's a response to our primary.
Speaker 4: System, right and the way we raise money too, where
Speaker 4: you motivate the small donors.
Speaker 2: On Twitter or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 4: I don't know how we can fight our way out
Speaker 4: of this situation. There was an attack on free speech
Speaker 4: was pretty rough the other day. A couple of them
Speaker 4: won in Great Britain and one of the United States.
Speaker 4: That has me somewhat concerned. Among other things we can
Speaker 4: talk about stay.
Speaker 2: Here, armstrong. Oh this is going viral.
Speaker 3: Orchestra in Sweden has added an unusual member to their group.
Speaker 4: The world's first joint performance by a symphony orchestra and
Speaker 4: a robot playing cello has taken place in Sweden.
Speaker 2: Imagine how nerdy you have to be to invent a
Speaker 2: robots that plays the cello.
Speaker 3: Look who has first seat now, Francis?
Speaker 2: So have you anybody seen this? Does it?
Speaker 4: A robot that actually like has arms and is drawing
Speaker 4: a bow across the strings of a cello?
Speaker 2: Is that what's happening there? Does it have arms or
Speaker 2: some sort of belt.
Speaker 4: Or do you know?
Speaker 2: Michael, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 4: No, okay, but I was thinking, I'm constantly concerned that
Speaker 4: when AI can do art as well or better than humans,
Speaker 4: if it'll what that will do? But player pianosis existed
Speaker 4: for over a century and they play really, really well,
Speaker 4: and it didn't like end humans playing the piano.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like one of those auto assembly line robots,
Speaker 5: but one of the big silvery arms is holding a bow.
Speaker 6: Yeah it's not like a humanoid robot.
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like a human. No, it's not wearing
Speaker 4: a tuxedo lack of respect. But I'm sure they could
Speaker 4: make I'm sure they could a rat. They could make
Speaker 4: it look like a human if they wanted to. It's
Speaker 4: like the robot dogs. Don't have to have a you know,
Speaker 4: a schnaz like a dog, but they do that to
Speaker 4: make it look more like a dog. Right, But I
Speaker 4: don't think they would have an effect on music, like
Speaker 4: my player piano. Analogy is right, isn't it. I mean,
Speaker 4: because I've my uncle had a player piano. It was
Speaker 4: really really cool. But it's like it didn't make it
Speaker 4: any less amazing to hear a person play the piano.
Speaker 2: No, No, I guess not.
Speaker 4: I am recently very amazed at the number of smart
Speaker 4: people who think we've got a free speech problem in
Speaker 4: this country and that they and their friends are capable
Speaker 4: of determining which free speech should be allowed and which
Speaker 4: free speech shouldn't.
Speaker 5: Those quote unquote smart people are some of the most
Speaker 5: dangerous people in America.
Speaker 4: Well, I've got one right here. Her name is, her
Speaker 4: last name is Frank, I don't remember what it is.
Speaker 4: Doesn't make any difference. She is a law professor and
Speaker 4: one of your Ivy League schools, was at a Harvard
Speaker 4: get together the other day where they were all concerned
Speaker 4: about too much free speech in this country and how
Speaker 4: the First Amendment is, you know, past its prime, what
Speaker 4: with social media and the internet now. Because she was
Speaker 4: at some conference for media studies, the Berkman Klein Center
Speaker 4: for Media something or other at Harvard. Here's a quote
Speaker 4: from this law professor, who I'm sure has got a
Speaker 4: higher IQ than me. The US was built on racial patriarchy.
Speaker 4: If you want to describe what the First Amendment is,
Speaker 4: It's not about consistent or noble principles.
Speaker 2: It's about power.
Speaker 4: It's about converging with that idea of racial patriarchy. And
Speaker 4: if you are disturbing it.
Speaker 2: That is a dangerous and evil person right there. And
Speaker 2: Charles C. W.
Speaker 4: Cook was where I came across this, and he's a
Speaker 4: big guy, stands up for free speech with the National Review.
Speaker 4: But he said, the most alarming thing about this is
Speaker 4: she really he does sincerely believe it. I've heard her
Speaker 4: make this case at length in person, so he's heard
Speaker 4: her lecture about it.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, these people have fully fleshed out arguments that
Speaker 5: are incredibly dangerous.
Speaker 4: The hang up I usually have, I feel like where
Speaker 4: I don't think they have. The answer is, you won't
Speaker 4: always be in power, you realize, So when Trump wins
Speaker 4: or whoever you don't like wins, they're going to get
Speaker 4: to choose the crew that rules on free speech. Doesn't
Speaker 4: that worry is them?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I would never go to that argument because.
Speaker 5: I won't give up on the first one, which is
Speaker 5: that freedom of speech is the most precious and necessary
Speaker 5: liberty in a functioning society. And I don't care what
Speaker 5: rationale is for it or against it. You will get
Speaker 5: it when you pry it out of my cold dead hands.
Speaker 4: But it seems like a pretty good argument that one
Speaker 4: of the reasons you have to have free speech is
Speaker 4: you can't put anybody in charge of it's free and
Speaker 4: what's not.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 5: It's just like saying, no, honey, we can't kill the
Speaker 5: neighbor because we might go to jail. Don't give me
Speaker 5: the practical argument. The moral one is just fine.
Speaker 4: You on moral grounds don't think you should kill the
Speaker 4: neighbor at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that woman that tar
Speaker 5: and feathers wouldn't cure. This is a metaphor, of course,
Speaker 5: not literally of course,
