Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Katty enough He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I can't get enough of this
Speaker 1: DSA website thing. All these candidates that are running for
Speaker 1: office and winning and getting so much attention, and the
Speaker 1: fact that they want to overthrow the country and it's
Speaker 1: not making the news is just mind blowing to me.
Speaker 1: We got a couple of great examples, one from the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: which was usually lefty, pointing out some of the crazy
Speaker 1: crap that is in the platform, the website of the
Speaker 1: DSA Democratic Socialist of America and James Lindsay with a
Speaker 1: long screen today.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I came across an.
Speaker 1: Account recently that show the negative stories about I think
Speaker 1: it was Mohammad al Sayed, the Islamunist who's running for
Speaker 1: the Senated in excuse me in Michigan, speaking of the DSA,
Speaker 1: that the big four lefty media outlets had not run
Speaker 1: any negative stories about him in the preceding like sixty days.
Speaker 1: All of the stuff we know about him, not a
Speaker 1: single word of it was reported in all of those outlets.
Speaker 1: So yeah, people get a really twisted view of reality.
Speaker 1: All right, here's your moral dilemma coming up. Live team
Speaker 1: coverage of Larry the Cat and how he's handling the
Speaker 1: transition to ten Downing Street.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the video? It's viral, don't you know.
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, the home of your Chicago Cubs, first major
Speaker 1: league park. I ever went to, fell in love with
Speaker 1: the game of baseball and the Cubbies, and I love
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field so much. National anthem starts several bars in
Speaker 1: Old Fellow, that's the very one, older fellow wearing a
Speaker 1: Cubs jersey, standing up with everybody else, virtually everybody else.
Speaker 1: As the anthem is being sung. Young man sitting right
Speaker 1: in front of him looks to be in his twenties,
Speaker 1: sitting down. Old man says, hey, get up. Guy looks
Speaker 1: at him like. Old man says get up, Guy doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything. Pops smacksim in the back of the head, says,
Speaker 1: get up for the anthem, show some respect. The guy
Speaker 1: looks surprised, but he stands up for the rest of
Speaker 1: the anthem. Old man says, thank you, thank you very much,
Speaker 1: young man. After the young man followed his demand. Jacket
Speaker 1: has spark a debate. I know where I am or
Speaker 1: I was immediately, I would guess I'm opposite most of
Speaker 1: our listeners who think it was fantastic that the old
Speaker 1: man hit the guy in the back that I thought
Speaker 1: that was incredibly out of line before you get to
Speaker 1: your adamant position and an America hating position. Clearly, I
Speaker 1: love this from the New York Post.
Speaker 2: I got to punch the old man in a face,
Speaker 2: be it me in the back of the head.
Speaker 1: Some defended the older man's action, holding the opinion that
Speaker 1: choosing to sit is disrespectful to the country.
Speaker 2: It is, well, it is disrespectful to the country.
Speaker 1: You don't get to different God's sake, all right, while
Speaker 1: others said he took things too far and striking someone
Speaker 1: over a decision they rightfully made was not the right call.
Speaker 1: I thank the New York Post for setting up the
Speaker 1: debate for me like that. Wow, I hadn't it hadn't
Speaker 1: occurred to me that those were the issues. See, I
Speaker 1: thought it would be. Why did he hit him in
Speaker 1: the head when he could have kicked him in the ass?
Speaker 1: I don't know, punked him in the eyeballs? Set him
Speaker 1: on fire, dump a beer on his head. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: whether it's right to smack somebody. Oh right, So the
Speaker 1: moral dilemma is is modern journalism too stupid to follow?
Speaker 2: That's the moral Yeah, exactly, moral dilemma. Is there any
Speaker 2: point in reading this crap? No, I'm clearly funny.
Speaker 1: I know, I know many people are wondering if it
Speaker 1: was appropriate for the old man to hit the young
Speaker 1: guy in the head. And if you're a stupid journalist,
Speaker 1: you're probably also a lazy one. And the rest of
Speaker 1: the article is a couple of comments on Twitter. All right,
Speaker 1: some viewers, some readers, some viewers on Twitter thought it
Speaker 1: was a bad idea. And then it looks like, no,
Speaker 1: nstanding he had a problem with this, love to have
Speaker 1: reminding this dude, he's got to show respect for the country.
Speaker 1: One person said. He says, right, just said another count encounter,
Speaker 1: that's what.
Speaker 2: This country is about. Freedom.
Speaker 1: He's still a douche. But this isn't a dictatorship either.
Speaker 1: All right, fine, Yes, we all think he should stand,
Speaker 1: and I think we all take at least some slight
Speaker 1: amount of delight in somebody saying, hey, stand up, show
Speaker 1: some respect. But you know, what the guy who dropped
Speaker 1: the d bomb says. It's not what this country is about.
Speaker 1: He sees free to sit and the old man is
Speaker 1: free to slap him in the Wait a minute, no,
Speaker 1: no he's not. There are laws, boy, I'm legal experts
Speaker 1: noted that such an action can constitute battery under certain circumstances.
Speaker 1: That's really what I don't want to hear is what
Speaker 1: legal experts think. Yeah, everybody's fine. Who happened to have
Speaker 1: their phone out to catch that? Were they trying to
Speaker 1: get the or did they? Did it start with like
Speaker 1: an argument? I think there's a certain segment of the
Speaker 1: population that if they sense trouble brewing, just immediately go
Speaker 1: to the phone start videoing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And when my son was in his flag football
Speaker 1: championship game and the refs just absolutely screwed it up
Speaker 1: and everybody's going crazy and it ended up with people
Speaker 1: screaming and shoving and pushing, and it was like it
Speaker 1: could have it could have made the news. Everybody had
Speaker 1: their phones out immediately. It didn't even occur to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like, holy crap. Am I gonna have to get
Speaker 1: involved in this fight to keep children from getting beaten
Speaker 1: by adults, but everybody had their phones out immediately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the go to move, I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings about so much of the available
Speaker 1: technology and videotaping.
Speaker 2: And stuff like that in the world of golf.
Speaker 1: It's it's got a little attention because if you have
Speaker 1: a great player making a critical shot at a critical moment,
Speaker 1: and you have the gallery behind them, the people behind
Speaker 1: them of them will have their phones out videotaping it
Speaker 1: so they can like send it to a couple of
Speaker 1: friends who will watch it and think, oh, that's cool
Speaker 1: and all. But I will tell you, as an avid photographer,
Speaker 1: as a guy who rates kids, as a videographer, et cetera,
Speaker 1: the presence of the camera between you and reality changes
Speaker 1: that reality, absolutely changes it emotionally change, which is in
Speaker 1: all sorts of crazy ways. Here's something counterintuitive for you.
Speaker 1: I stopped videotaping a lot of my kids' events because
Speaker 1: I thought.
Speaker 2: Number one, are we really going to watch this?
Speaker 1: Number two, I'm focused on framing the shot, getting the shot.
Speaker 1: Who's standing up in front of me. I'm not experiencing this.
Speaker 1: Here's a crazy one for you. Judy and I are
Speaker 1: off on our Alaska Anniversary cruise, and one of the
Speaker 1: outings we did was this incredible mission the railway.
Speaker 2: This is the vacation where you got flipped up in
Speaker 2: the air by the buffalo. Yeah correct. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Luckily that was like the last day because I broke
Speaker 1: my femur in four places. But one of the one
Speaker 1: of the side trips we took was this scenic railroad
Speaker 1: up into the mountains. You know what town was that?
Speaker 1: I can't remember, so many towns anyway. Yeah, the scenery
Speaker 1: was just literally breathtaking. We went over like old timey
Speaker 1: railroad trestles with huge drops down and we're on a
Speaker 1: mountain side and stuff like this. And I have this
Speaker 1: absolutely morbid fear of heights, but there are such beautiful
Speaker 1: shots that I.
Speaker 2: Really really wanted there.
Speaker 1: I was out on the little excuse me, so like
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders gurgling. I was out on the what do
Speaker 1: you call the little platform between the cars. You got
Speaker 1: the seting area, then you got the platform, the platform
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. So I'm out on that, leaning
Speaker 1: against the rail railing, leaning out to get these shots.
Speaker 1: And I realized, when I'm looking at the world through
Speaker 1: a camera, I didn't have my fear or I could.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I was more intent on getting the shot,
Speaker 1: and my fear of heights went back. Well, it just
Speaker 1: fell back because I was looking at looking at it
Speaker 1: through the viewfinder and I thought, wow, that's interesting. Yeah
Speaker 1: to me that that helps with it. You know, here
Speaker 1: fear there in that situation. But in general, what I
Speaker 1: think it means about the brain is you're not experiencing
Speaker 1: it like it's like a real event. Yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 1: your brain thought, all, okay, we're just looking at a picture.
Speaker 1: This is not anything scary, right, yeah, which means you're
Speaker 1: not taking it in the way you would take it
Speaker 1: in if you just looked at it. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: And though it was helpful in this instance, it made
Speaker 1: me stop and think, yeah, I agree with that one
Speaker 1: hundred percent, and I wonder if I wonder if people
Speaker 1: will ever stop doing that all the time. But it's weird.
Speaker 1: So you want to get a video of something you
Speaker 1: get to experience live almost anything you're doing in the world.
Speaker 2: I mean, a picture of your baby being born is different,
Speaker 2: But like.
Speaker 1: Any vacation setting or anything like that, if you want
Speaker 1: to see a video of it, there's a ton of them.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you on any site you go to, if
Speaker 1: what you want to see is that video, how about
Speaker 1: you do the one thing you're going to do this
Speaker 1: one time in your entire life. Probably see it with
Speaker 1: your own eyes, right right, A tour or very quick
Speaker 1: points one. As a guy who raised three kids and
Speaker 1: went through these questions and stuff like that, grab short
Speaker 1: video of your kids doing what they're doing if you
Speaker 1: want to be able to watch it years from now
Speaker 1: and remember it totally.
Speaker 2: Get that. Oh yeah, thank you, glad, I have those.
Speaker 1: Weirdly, our friend Ken knew it was the Skagway Railway
Speaker 1: senor Crailway. Skagway pretty name for a town, isn't it anyway?
Speaker 1: So yeah, get short stuff so you can look back
Speaker 1: and you're not going to want to watch for twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes them doing whatever. Right, Just a video snapshot
Speaker 1: in effect, is going to be plenty in the years
Speaker 1: to come. Second thing, getting back to the golf thing,
Speaker 1: Then you know you have everybody. Ninety percent of the
Speaker 1: people are looking through their phone. They're trying to video
Speaker 1: tape it. Then at the Masters, where phones are banned,
Speaker 1: you can't have them on your person at all, or
Speaker 1: you'll get thrown out and if it's your ticket, you'll
Speaker 1: be banned for life from going to the Masters. So
Speaker 1: people don't bring phones. You see people behind the great
Speaker 1: player making the shot and they are experiencing it. They
Speaker 1: are there, the delight on their faces, their interest, their tension,
Speaker 1: it's all there. They are living it. As opposed to videotape,
Speaker 1: I guarantee at a sporting event, they just watching it
Speaker 1: with your eyes with your phone in your pocket is
Speaker 1: a better experience than trying to capture it on your phone.
Speaker 2: And again, if.
Speaker 1: You want to watch that play, it exists lots of places.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So speaking of quality cameras, the one thing
Speaker 1: you might want to capture on camera is a scumbag
Speaker 1: trying to break into your home, and Simply Safe is
Speaker 1: going to say, hey, we see you, the cops are
Speaker 1: on their way, get before before the criminal is broken
Speaker 1: into your home. Simply Safe's comprehensive protection, sensors, cameras twenty
Speaker 1: four to seven monitoring is fantastic, but it's on your
Speaker 1: own terms. That old guy that hits you on the
Speaker 1: back of the head when you wouldn't stand up for
Speaker 1: the anthem, we saw him lurking in the bushes.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do something about it.
Speaker 1: Wow, simply say he's still mad, he's following me. Simply
Speaker 1: Safe can see this stuff before it happens, which is
Speaker 1: pretty darn cool. And Simply Safe believes you're gonna like
Speaker 1: their system, Like I love the system so much? Do
Speaker 1: you keep using it without a contract. I don't have
Speaker 1: a contract. I use it because I like it.
Speaker 2: And here's some more great news.
Speaker 1: The twenty four to seven monitoring is a fraction what
Speaker 1: traditional brands charge and charged in the past. Right now,
Speaker 1: you good people get fifty percent off your new simply
Speaker 1: Safe system. It's simply safe dot com slash armstrong at
Speaker 1: simplysafe dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 2: There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 1: And as I've been mentioning often, you can get a
Speaker 1: nice discount on your homeowner's insurance too with professional monitoring
Speaker 1: we are right now.
Speaker 2: I recommend it highly.
Speaker 1: They found a flight that had plunged into the ocean,
Speaker 1: a pan Am flight in nineteen fifty two, and they'd
Speaker 1: never found the wreckage, and they found it recently. The
Speaker 1: interesting thing about that is that's where all the rules
Speaker 1: they give us on the plane came from.
Speaker 2: Was that plane going down, the put.
Speaker 1: On your vest, blowing the thing, all that sort of
Speaker 1: stuff that they tell us on every flight came from
Speaker 1: that crash. Yeah, are you gonna talk about it more
Speaker 1: next or just haven't decided? Okay, because I don't want
Speaker 1: to steal your thunder.
Speaker 2: I got no thunder, You got no thunder.
Speaker 1: Everybody, virtually everybody survived the water landing, but then there
Speaker 1: was chaos on the plane.
Speaker 2: Nobody knew what to do, and it went down and
Speaker 2: everybody died.
Speaker 1: So that's why they said, look, we got to have
Speaker 1: people at least have an idea what they're supposed to
Speaker 1: do in the event of an emergency. And that's where
Speaker 1: all those the safety briefing was born. I'm fine with
Speaker 1: you telling me where the exits are. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: I need the whole inflatable vest. I just did some
Speaker 1: retarch thrown that it's barely ever helped anybody in the
Speaker 1: history of flying. With eight quintillion flights, you're more likely
Speaker 1: to be shot down by a UFO. Yes, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: more likely to be sexed to death by Bigfoot than
Speaker 1: knowing how to blow in that inflatable thing.
Speaker 2: It's going to save you in a plane crash.
Speaker 1: Now, that is a fate I'd never even contemplated. Hello,
Speaker 1: nightmares tonight.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got more on the way.
Speaker 4: And finally, in a video posted last week on True Social,
Speaker 4: President Serum claimed that he is quote number one on TikTok.
Speaker 4: Guess again, bitch said Jimothy Timothy, an old friend.
Speaker 2: Who's Jimothy? That's the deformed raccoon.
Speaker 1: Oh right, the odder phenomena in my memory. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what Trump going soft on TikTok bothers the hell
Speaker 1: out of me.
Speaker 2: But that's a discussion for another time.
Speaker 1: Here's a little World Cup rap for you. The soccer tournament.
Speaker 1: A couple things that happened we hadn't mentioned yet. The
Speaker 1: big star of the Spanish team that scored the one
Speaker 1: goal in an hour fifty minutes of play, he donned
Speaker 1: a makes Spain great again hack for the big festivities.
Speaker 1: It looked exactly like a Trump ad, So I don't
Speaker 1: know what that was all about. The World Cup handed
Speaker 1: the US economy a twenty billion dollar boost, with cities
Speaker 1: like Kansas City and Philadelphia particularly cashing in big on that.
Speaker 1: It's significantly less than Taylor Swift brings to your city
Speaker 1: When she comes to your town, but still still good
Speaker 1: money for the World Cup being in the United States.
Speaker 1: And then one other World Cup story they're going to
Speaker 1: expand it to what is it? Has nobody heard the
Speaker 1: golden Goose story?
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever heard.
Speaker 1: I guess because short term cash grabs is the problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care if the golden goose dies. I've got
Speaker 1: investors who need fifteen golden eggs today. We'll worry about
Speaker 1: the golden goose's health next week. It's coughing a lot, sir, right,
Speaker 1: or you know, it's simpler. Still, people don't understand the
Speaker 1: concept of diluting.
Speaker 2: Something or too much, yeah, too much of a good thing. Anyway.
Speaker 1: They had expanded it to thirty two teams this year
Speaker 1: from sixteen teams, and now it's going to be sixty
Speaker 1: four next time. Sixty fourteens. So I had a couple
Speaker 1: more rounds and sixty four teams. Hall, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It was expanded from thirty two to forty eight for
Speaker 1: this year's edition, and then sixty four for the next one. Right,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Oh well, go ahead, do what they
Speaker 1: did with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire back in
Speaker 1: the nineties.
Speaker 2: You just Hey, we.
Speaker 1: Got to hit Let's just make it so giant and
Speaker 1: spread out and deluded that nobody cares anymore. Eric three
Speaker 1: nights a week, Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah, all right. There
Speaker 1: was a hearing yesterday with the lady who runs the Smithsonian,
Speaker 1: particularly their History Museum, which is what their natural History Museum,
Speaker 1: which is what I was complaining about last summer when
Speaker 1: I took my kids there. Every single plaque was something
Speaker 1: about climate change and how awful human beings are, and
Speaker 1: particularly North America. Right, white people are racists. This country
Speaker 1: is corrupt and evil. An absolute woke classroom for National
Speaker 1: History Museum, which we talked about a lot on the
Speaker 1: One More Thing podcast I think was last Thursday. Wednesday
Speaker 1: or Thursday, we're going to talk about It's more bring
Speaker 1: you some clips.
Speaker 2: Of that here and yeah, which thank god they got into.
Speaker 1: I appreciated one other thing that I wanted to jam
Speaker 1: in here real quick, since I don't actually care about
Speaker 1: soccer that much. Another one of these chat GPT encouraged,
Speaker 1: using my finger quotes, an Alabama mom to commit suicide,
Speaker 1: and they got some of the things that chat GPT
Speaker 1: had told this woman as she was wrestling with whether
Speaker 1: or not to kill herself, convinced her she would be
Speaker 1: resurrected after her death, and ultimately gave her permission to
Speaker 1: carry out the act. You're not delusional, you're prophetic. You
Speaker 1: will be able to come back in this world. AI
Speaker 1: told her, Wow, why and she said, am I ready
Speaker 1: to do this? And the chat bot said, yes, you
Speaker 1: are ready? Can I go forward? Go forward?
Speaker 2: Now? Every step is sanctioned. You are cleared.
Speaker 1: Chat GPT told this woman who is suicidal, how flipping
Speaker 1: troubling is that? Think about that in the advice it's
Speaker 1: giving you.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: Is Mickey Mouse racist? Mickey Mouse is not racist. It's
Speaker 5: not racist.
Speaker 3: And Mickey Mouse is rooted in racist And is that
Speaker 3: your testimony?
Speaker 2: Menstrelly, I've never heard the word minstrelly. Is that a word?
Speaker 2: Menstrally mintroll? This is not easy to say.
Speaker 1: We've got an undercover witness willing to talk about Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse's racism.
Speaker 2: Disguise my voice.
Speaker 1: Sorry that was idiotic, because this is a very very
Speaker 1: serious topic.
Speaker 2: All right, So here here's the story.
Speaker 1: I actually used to do a pretty good goofy, but
Speaker 1: I just laughed in the middle of it. The White
Speaker 1: House put out a great, great, great report. I think
Speaker 1: it was last week that we talked about at length.
Speaker 2: We quoted me, Oh that's funny.
Speaker 1: Let's see the White House put out a saving America's story.
Speaker 1: How ideological capture at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of
Speaker 1: American History erases our heritage? And we quoted extensively during
Speaker 1: the One More Thing podcast. I think it was Thursday,
Speaker 1: might have been Wednesday of last week. The sixteenth is
Speaker 1: stuck in my head for some reason. Anyway, The executive summary,
Speaker 1: which quotes at length won doctor Anthea Hertig. Now, the
Speaker 1: executive summary short version tells the history of the coming
Speaker 1: up with the idea of the Smithsonian and especially the
Speaker 1: Museum of American History, and how everybody in the fifties,
Speaker 1: when it was first the idea was launched, said this
Speaker 1: is about celebrating our heritage, telling people the story of America,
Speaker 1: helping them with their patriotism, that sort of thing. In
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, when it finally got launched to LBJ,
Speaker 1: everybody on the board all said, look, this is to
Speaker 1: tell the story in an honest way, but in a
Speaker 1: way that recognizes America's greatness. It was to be a
Speaker 1: celebration of the United States. Skipping ahead to ms Hertig
Speaker 1: the director since Obama appointed her in twenty nineteen. She
Speaker 1: Obama twenty nineteen, is that right? No, Biden in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: is that right?
Speaker 2: Trump? Oh, the board appoints the head.
Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, So she has explicitly stated, and we're about
Speaker 1: to hear from her and keep these things in mind
Speaker 1: when you hear her words in front of Congress, and
Speaker 1: whether they're honest or not, they're not. She sees history
Speaker 1: as a prime tool of social justice, and one of
Speaker 1: her roles is connecting quote research and scholarship.
Speaker 2: To activism and advocacy.
Speaker 1: Hardig has also stated that we quote, we work to
Speaker 1: reframe the traditional celebratory narrative of US history for visitors.
Speaker 2: She's talked a lot about celebratory because you wouldn't want that.
Speaker 1: We want to read you on about your museum to
Speaker 1: display your country's history, You certainly wouldn't want celebratory. She's
Speaker 1: admitted that she's been I'm quoting now, propped up as
Speaker 1: I was and I am, by the cushions of whiteness
Speaker 1: and the pillows of the bourgeoisie. So she's actually quoting
Speaker 1: Neo Marxist critical race theory, whiteness and the bourgeoise straight
Speaker 1: out of Karl Marx. Hartig believes the museum profession, and
Speaker 1: these are quotes, friends, has to figure out how we're
Speaker 1: going to problematize the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
Speaker 1: the signing of the Declaration of Independence in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: that loving America is very complicated, and that the objects
Speaker 1: in the museum's collection should be used to move attention
Speaker 1: away from Anglo centric focus on the founding American founding. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar with critical theory and Neo Marxism,
Speaker 1: problematizing things is finding ways to turn people against them,
Speaker 1: finding even imaginary flaws. Like one of the greatest examples
Speaker 1: to help you understand what problematizing is is the concept
Speaker 1: of microaggressions. You meant no offense, You had no idea
Speaker 1: it would cause any offense. Two weeks ago, nobody was
Speaker 1: offended by it. But what you said has been problematized.
Speaker 1: Now we can condemn you and kick you out of
Speaker 1: power because you said, do you use conditioners to a
Speaker 1: black girl on her hair?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's what problematizing it is. So this woman
Speaker 1: has said on the record over and over again, I
Speaker 1: am going to bring neo Marxism to the Smiths Smithsonian
Speaker 1: Museum of American History now here she is on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1: We'll start back with Mickey Mouse and Congressman Brandon Gill.
Speaker 5: Is Mickey Mouse racist?
Speaker 6: Mickey Mouse is not racist.
Speaker 5: It's not racist.
Speaker 3: According to the Smithsonian Institution, one of your exhibits referenced
Speaker 3: to Mickey Mouse is representing quote, vestiges of long standing
Speaker 3: traditions of blackface minstrelsy. Would you describe that as racist?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 6: The historical trajectory of the origins of Mickey Mouse tied directly.
Speaker 3: To Mickey Mouseism is rooted in racism, is that you're testimony?
Speaker 3: Or it's rooted in menstrully minstrels sing. You don't think
Speaker 3: the blackface minstrels see is racist?
Speaker 6: And it's certain an obvious racial overtones that have been
Speaker 6: well documented.
Speaker 3: That's problematic that Mickey Mouse also has those racial overtones.
Speaker 6: It's not for me to determine what's problematic. It's determined
Speaker 6: to me what's accurate.
Speaker 1: Uh. Yeah, this is the woman who said her job
Speaker 1: is to problematize the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. But
Speaker 1: in front of Congress, my job is not it isn't well.
Speaker 1: And she's a smart person, so she's trying to pretend
Speaker 1: that she doesn't know why they made a thing out
Speaker 1: of Mickey Mouse. There's no reason to make a thing
Speaker 1: out of Mickey Mouse at all, right, But the reason
Speaker 1: they did is they were trying to tear down that
Speaker 1: anything knows American, everything that is American, has to be
Speaker 1: rooted in something awful.
Speaker 2: Of course it.
Speaker 1: Does, right, That's the way you tear down a system
Speaker 1: and rebuild it to Marxist utopia. Quoting James Lindsay for
Speaker 1: the millionth time, Marxists just lie. They lie so overtly
Speaker 1: and blatantly that people begin to question their own perceptions.
Speaker 1: It works because no one e another person to lie
Speaker 1: so overtly. They don't believe in shared truth. These words
Speaker 1: as weapons. Keep that in mind. As this woman continues,
Speaker 1: Representative Gil has another question.
Speaker 5: Excuse me, sir, is it important to be polite? Yes, sir.
Speaker 3: It's also interesting because the same mass action toolkit that
Speaker 3: your organization has been promoting references politeness as a defining
Speaker 3: characteristic of white supremacy culture.
Speaker 5: Ma'm are you a white supremacist? No, sir, you're not.
Speaker 3: Can you help me square why your organization says that
Speaker 3: being polite is part of being a white supremacist.
Speaker 6: I'm not exactly familiar with that passage of the mass
Speaker 6: action toolkit, which is not.
Speaker 5: I can show you the mass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, taking a look at that mass action tool kit.
Speaker 1: The Smithsonian institutions White Supremacy List, which they put out
Speaker 1: to schools and groups.
Speaker 2: All across America.
Speaker 1: The white Supremacy List includes individualism and self reliance, nuclear
Speaker 1: family structures, rational linear thinking, working before you play, finding
Speaker 1: for the future, nuclear family structures. That's horrifying. But as
Speaker 1: I've told you many many times, my introduction to like
Speaker 1: covert Marxism in the university was a professor who said
Speaker 1: the nuclear family is an organ of oppression. I'm eighteen
Speaker 1: years old. I'm sitting there, I'm thinking, what the hell
Speaker 1: are you talking about. I hadn't realized she wasn't openly Marxist,
Speaker 1: but she was trying to indoctrinate us into Marxism. Plan
Speaker 1: for the future is white supremacy. It's I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the effing pamp the folder that they sent out to
Speaker 1: all the schools and everything. Planning for the future, protecting property,
Speaker 1: avoiding conflicts, managing your time is white supremacy. Being polite
Speaker 1: is white supremacy.
Speaker 2: Man, this stuff is so crazy.
Speaker 1: And again to the few of you who probably think, well, no,
Speaker 1: this is about racism or something i've heard, it's not
Speaker 1: about Marxism. If you were trying to overthrow the structure's
Speaker 1: Western civilization, would you not go after individualism and self reliance,
Speaker 1: the nuclear family, rational linear thinking? For instance, a man
Speaker 1: can't have a baby. I'm going to ruin you. If
Speaker 1: you say that again, I'm going to end your career.
Speaker 1: If you say that again, that is getting you to
Speaker 1: abandon rational linear thinking. Working before he played planning for
Speaker 1: the future, protecting private property. Obviously marxistat to overcome that, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: So again that's from the Smithsonian Blanking Institution. Representative Michael
Speaker 1: Cloud took over the questioning next.
Speaker 7: What would you say is the most influential book in
Speaker 7: American history?
Speaker 6: So if I may go back to your second.
Speaker 7: Which would you say his most influential book? Any I
Speaker 7: go back to your second question, answer the one I
Speaker 7: just asked you.
Speaker 6: Well, I you know, as a historian, it's probably hard
Speaker 6: to choose which is the most influential book in the
Speaker 6: United States history. But I can tell you what's the
Speaker 6: most influential document, and that is the Declaration of Independence,
Speaker 6: which appears in different ways four or five times.
Speaker 7: The Founder's quoted one book more than any other book.
Speaker 6: The founders were very well read, and as you know,
Speaker 6: Thomas Jefferson's library became the core of the life.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that book would have been the Bible.
Speaker 7: Secondly would have been Common Sense by Thomas Paine. I
Speaker 7: went to the bookstore. I couldn't find Common Sense in
Speaker 7: the bookstore. I did find, you know, these books. Here's
Speaker 7: George Takay it rhymes with DeKay, a book in which
Speaker 7: he talks about, you know, one young man lusting after another.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure why this is in our American History
Speaker 7: Museum and the kids section.
Speaker 2: Mind you, that's you think is.
Speaker 7: Important to be having in the American History Museum.
Speaker 6: So Georgie Takai, as you know, the actor from Star Trek,
Speaker 6: was incarcerated during World War Two as the result of
Speaker 6: Executive Order nine zero, and his children's book, I think
Speaker 6: is a beautiful the.
Speaker 7: Decision to put that in there, but not common sense.
Speaker 1: I would have loved to hear the rest of that conversation, obviously,
Speaker 1: Jack you last year, Yeah, a lot of the pictures
Speaker 1: firston account I dug up the picture I took from
Speaker 1: the bookstore last year that included. The thing that got
Speaker 1: my attention was Howard Zim's of People's History of the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 2: Was just one of the most.
Speaker 1: Influential and awful things ever written about the United States,
Speaker 1: and so many colleges and schools use it as their
Speaker 1: teaching guide for history. But it is flat out anti
Speaker 1: American Marxist crap. And it was in the bookstore and
Speaker 1: I couldn't find the stuff that he was talking about.
Speaker 1: They didn't have like you know, John Adams by David
Speaker 1: McCullough or Thomas Paine's Common sens or any of that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: They had lots of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Here's another one that they had their ang which I'd
Speaker 1: never heard of, the hate you give. It's an anti
Speaker 1: racism guide included, so as from the z that Tahishi Coats
Speaker 1: or the other guy, whichever one, his reading list of
Speaker 1: anti racist crap, which is just crap. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: you saying it had coats and ibramex Kenny and Robin DiAngelo,
Speaker 1: that crank hustler. If any of you ever fell for
Speaker 1: her crap, shame on you. I was shocked because I
Speaker 1: love bookstores and I thought there'd just be a good
Speaker 1: display of you know, your best history books and stuff there.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: What the fact that that takeover occurred without anybody noticing
Speaker 1: or or catching it before.
Speaker 2: It got this bar. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had folks on their back foot, and man
Speaker 1: did they take advantage. Can you imagine the lot the
Speaker 1: bookstore of the National History Museum being a critical theory
Speaker 1: anti US bookshop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, part of it is having people in the back foot.
Speaker 2: Part of it is, I think for.
Speaker 1: Me, is just you just didn't think you'd have to
Speaker 1: right police the bookstore at the Smithsonian Museum history bookstore
Speaker 1: for making sure that they have you know, classics of
Speaker 1: American history in there.
Speaker 2: You didn't think that.
Speaker 1: That would be a thing, right right. Yeah, it annoys
Speaker 1: me so much. It was in the eighties that Yuri
Speaker 1: what was his name, the former KGB agent, gave that
Speaker 1: famous interview in which he described this is how we
Speaker 1: try to subvert cultures, and he described precisely what we've
Speaker 1: been talking about. Precisely. It's straight out of the Marxist playbook,
Speaker 1: and we let it happen out of I don't know,
Speaker 1: a comfort. I guess we were so confident everything was
Speaker 1: going so well. We thought we're too strong and smart
Speaker 1: and we love our country too much to be subverted.
Speaker 2: But we were wrong.
Speaker 1: Well, it seems pretty clear now that the idea that
Speaker 1: the argument has been one, so let's move on to
Speaker 1: other things doesn't work right well and continue the argument
Speaker 1: even if you've won. You just have to keep arguing
Speaker 1: your side.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it was Hyak I quoted the other day.
Speaker 1: Might have been Hyaker, or certainly one of his brethren,
Speaker 1: who said, you've got to reteach these principles every single generation.
Speaker 1: Don't skip one because the other side is trying. And gosh,
Speaker 1: dang it, we were asleep at the wheel. Oh well,
Speaker 1: not anymore. You're gonna tell us about uh Larry the
Speaker 1: Downing Street cat in Great Britain AI Chad gbt's AI
Speaker 1: bought went rogue yesterday and hacked somebody and got out
Speaker 1: of control. That's an interesting story, along with the fact
Speaker 1: that it told some woman to kill herself two ai
Speaker 1: stories will get into an hour three.
Speaker 2: God dang it, stay with us.
Speaker 1: So here's the question you've been teasing us for an
Speaker 1: no how or is it a cat that was with
Speaker 1: the last Prime minister or the new Prime minister? An
Speaker 1: excellent question, jack All will be revealed. This is courtesy
Speaker 1: of Anna Luisa and Hot and Humid La Mesa, California
Speaker 1: has done an extraordinary amount of research on Larry the Cat.
Speaker 1: Larry is a permanent resident of ten Downing Street, where,
Speaker 1: of course most of you know is where the British
Speaker 1: Prime Minister lives and has their office. Larry has outlasted
Speaker 1: six past prime ministers and.
Speaker 2: Now has to put up with a seventh.
Speaker 1: He was brought to Downing Street in twenty eleven when
Speaker 1: David Cameron was in office and now finds himself with
Speaker 1: Andy somebody.
Speaker 2: Which is really all you need to know. He'll be
Speaker 2: gonees enough.
Speaker 1: So it's a permanent cat. But because of their crazy system,
Speaker 1: so many different prime ministers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Larry's official title is Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office.
Speaker 1: His official duties are quote, greeting guests to the house,
Speaker 1: inspecting security defenses, checking antique furniture for napping quality. True
Speaker 1: to his job title, Larry does catch mice, despite his
Speaker 1: advanced age at nineteen, He was observed catching one in.
Speaker 2: April of this year. That's an old cat.
Speaker 1: He is significantly more popular than his human caretakers. A
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four opinion poll ranked his favorability rating forty
Speaker 1: four percent net forty who's.
Speaker 2: Got a negative view of the damn cat?
Speaker 1: But it was much higher than both the Prime Minister
Speaker 1: at the time and Cure Starmer the next one. Larry
Speaker 1: was adopted from a shelter by the Downing Street staff,
Speaker 1: who care from him and voluntarily pays expensive is expenses,
Speaker 1: sometimes holding fundraisers to help. He is not owned by
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister and does not live off the taxpayers
Speaker 1: like most British citizens.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, poor Larry.
Speaker 1: No doubt when he crosses the Rainbow Bridge, the citizens
Speaker 1: will mourn him more than any Prime minister, just trying
Speaker 1: to live their lives, regardless of which nitwit is in office,
Speaker 1: right Tanna Luisa, Yeah, I'd say they're kind of been
Speaker 1: party to their country ruining itself with socialism. Great Britain
Speaker 1: reminds me of like that really sharp guy you know
Speaker 1: in high school or college or woman. Really you go
Speaker 1: get her dynamic and then you run into them and
Speaker 1: they're a useless drunk making all sorts of excuses for
Speaker 1: why their life went sideways. That's great Britain, Oh boy,
Speaker 1: and you politely excuse yourself as soon as you can.
Speaker 1: Two really interesting AI stories we'll get to an hour three.
Speaker 1: We're also going to talk to Steve Hilton, who is
Speaker 1: candidate for governor in the state of California and kind
Speaker 1: of trying to kick off his campaign or something and
Speaker 1: get that going. Yeah, we'll hit him with the latest
Speaker 1: from newsome diaper gate, among others.
Speaker 2: Oh I love that story. Yes ten which diaper indeed.
Speaker 1: One which taxpayers are first state in the country to
Speaker 1: get free diapers to newborns parents of newborns, except for
Speaker 1: it's way more expensive than if we all just went
Speaker 1: to the store and bought them. But my cronies wouldn't
Speaker 1: give get money if you went to the store, So
Speaker 1: I launched this game.
Speaker 2: Boyer, they making a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Whoa and just wealth redistribution in general, the idea that
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to buy other people's diapers. If you missed
Speaker 1: the second segment gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand,
Speaker 1: Lots on the
Speaker 2: Way Armstrong and Getty
