Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong
Speaker 1: and get Katie and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: This is a law that bands medical treatment only when
Speaker 2: it is prescribed inconsistent with an individual sex. Our argument
Speaker 2: is that that treats people differently because of their sex,
Speaker 2: and therefore the court has to treat it like all
Speaker 2: other forms of sex discrimination, and that's why it's unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: Right. That is the recent convert to felladomy. You got
Speaker 1: to mention Strangio, Who's I think given the obviously female
Speaker 1: voice and everything, and it's a transgender person. I'm about arguments, genitals.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Good stuff. So anyway, that is the trans lawyer speaking
Speaker 1: before the Supreme Court hearing in which the Tennessee law
Speaker 1: which banned I'm going to try to be neutral here
Speaker 1: hormonal and chemical treatments for youth who believe they suffer
Speaker 1: from gender dysphoria. Now I will describe it in the
Speaker 1: way it ought to be described. Tennessee is trying to
Speaker 1: say no, you can't do experimental and permanent treatments on
Speaker 1: the basis of no science that hurts kids for the
Speaker 1: rest of their lives because you got some weird gender
Speaker 1: ideology that nobody had ever heard of a decade ago.
Speaker 1: Hurts kids. All respond to the same as Sodomore. Every
Speaker 1: medical treatment has risks, including taking an aspirin that is
Speaker 1: one of the most astone stupid things ever uttered in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, up to and including when the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court janitor came upon something strange in the toilet bowl
Speaker 1: and said, what's that? A fish that was smarter than
Speaker 1: what Soda Mayor said. I will, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: also admit that sometimes I mean because she's not a
Speaker 1: stupid woman. Law school is hard and she graduating at
Speaker 1: the top of her class. I disagree with her vehemently
Speaker 1: on the country and the Constitution and the rest of it,
Speaker 1: but she's not dumb. Often the justices will probe the
Speaker 1: attorney's arguments looking for weaknesses on their own side of
Speaker 1: the point of view. So I'm not going to presume
Speaker 1: that Sonya Soda Mayor is that blank and stupid. On
Speaker 1: the other hand, she and Katanji Brown Jackson are so frickin'
Speaker 1: ideology ideologically I can barely stand it, but I want
Speaker 1: to play a couple of highlights of some of the
Speaker 1: questions and answers with the attorneys, and then I've come
Speaker 1: across a really absolutely terrific breakdown of what the case season,
Speaker 1: why it's clearly clearly going to be decided and must
Speaker 1: be decided on the well our side of the question,
Speaker 1: and for what it's worth. Blah blah blah. Disclaimer about
Speaker 1: reading he leaves blah blah blah. The questioning is often
Speaker 1: zabaz abazaba. It certainly sounded as if the conservative majority
Speaker 1: has no intention of letting this lawsuit stand. And just
Speaker 1: so you understand, because there's been some confusion I've sensed
Speaker 1: through reading emails, the state of Tennessee said, no, you
Speaker 1: can't do these bizarro completely unsupportable by science procedures on kids.
Speaker 1: You gotta stop. And the plaintiffs are saying, well, that's
Speaker 1: sex discrimination because you can feed testosterone to a boy
Speaker 1: you lacks testosterone, but you won't feed it to a
Speaker 1: girl who's momentarily confused about her gender. That's that's a
Speaker 1: violation of the fourteenth Amendment, an assertion that would have
Speaker 1: the writers of the Fourteenth Amendment either taking their head
Speaker 1: and wonderment are go fawing out loud in my opinion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the question is whether or not states can outlaw this, Yes, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: as twenty six have and it'll be fifty if there
Speaker 1: is a god soon. This is indeed Matthew Price who's
Speaker 1: arguing in favor of sanity, and so do Mayor in
Speaker 1: forty three, please Michael.
Speaker 4: Cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners. So it becomes a
Speaker 4: pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk, and the question
Speaker 4: of how many miners have to have their bodies irreparably
Speaker 4: harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left, I'm.
Speaker 5: Sorry, Counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking
Speaker 5: aspron there is always going to be a percentage of
Speaker 5: the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer
Speaker 5: a harm. So the question in my mind is not
Speaker 5: do policy makers decide whether one person's life is more
Speaker 5: valuable than the millions of others who get relief from
Speaker 5: this treatment. The question is can you stop one sex
Speaker 5: from the other?
Speaker 1: Well, now that I hear it in context, she was
Speaker 1: not probing. She actually that's her argument. No, she's as
Speaker 1: stupid as I said, she wasn't in the way that
Speaker 1: ideology can like numb intelligence and remove it from the equation.
Speaker 1: So she's buying that. I meant to look this up
Speaker 1: because I remember the origin of the whole they'll kill
Speaker 1: themselves if you don't operate them on thing was incredibly shaky,
Speaker 1: slash fraudulent paper was put out based on hardly anything,
Speaker 1: and people so in support of these trans operations for
Speaker 1: kids have turned it into like a golden rule that
Speaker 1: we all just agree with. If you don't let a
Speaker 1: kid get operated on, they're gonna kill themselves. So is
Speaker 1: that what you want? You want a dead kid, Well,
Speaker 1: then you better give them the operation. Yeah, unbelievable. So
Speaker 1: you ever worked in a place where the new person
Speaker 1: in the organization dominates all the meetings, what do you
Speaker 1: think of that person? Well, just as Catangi Brown Jackson
Speaker 1: is the new kid on the block, talks like twice
Speaker 1: as much as the second place person. She dominates this
Speaker 1: stuff all of a sudden, for what it's worth. But
Speaker 1: she's a knot. That's the main problem. She's an forty
Speaker 1: two Michael.
Speaker 6: You know, as I read the statute here, excuse me
Speaker 6: the case here, you know, The court starts off by
Speaker 6: saying that Virginia is now one of sixteen states which
Speaker 6: prohibit and punished marriages on the basis of racial classifications.
Speaker 6: And when you look at the structure of that law,
Speaker 6: it looks in terms of incontinuing you can't do something
Speaker 6: that is inconsistent with your own characteristics.
Speaker 1: It's sort of the same thing.
Speaker 6: So it's interesting to me that we now have this
Speaker 6: different argument, and I wonder whether Virginia could have gotten
Speaker 6: away with what they did here by just making a
Speaker 6: classification argument the way that Tennessee is.
Speaker 5: In this case.
Speaker 7: Yes, I think that's exactly right, that there is absolutely
Speaker 7: a parallel between any law that says you can't act
Speaker 7: inconsistent with a protected.
Speaker 1: Characteristic Jackson and the lawyer for the US government, which
Speaker 1: is arguing against sanity, thanks Joe Biden, are saying that, well,
Speaker 1: it looks like we could ban interracial marriage because it's
Speaker 1: very similar, which ignores a giant, huge aspect of the
Speaker 1: question here that I'll get into in a bit. I
Speaker 1: can't even believe serious attorneys are making that argument. I'm astounded.
Speaker 1: So that was KBJ Katanji Brown Jackson. So in case
Speaker 1: you didn't fully catch what Joe said. At the end
Speaker 1: of every Supreme Court session they add up the number
Speaker 1: of words everybody said so you can see who talked
Speaker 1: the most, and that they put out the chart like
Speaker 1: a week or so ago. And she as the newest justice, Yeah,
Speaker 1: talked twice as much as the chattiest other justice. Most
Speaker 1: of the other ones were like a third of what
Speaker 1: she taught to a tense Who does that? Who shows
Speaker 1: up to a new workplace as the brand new person
Speaker 1: and is the and talks twice as much as everybody else?
Speaker 1: What kind of personality is that? Progressive activists wow now
Speaker 1: representing sanity Justice Alito talking to the wispy bearded young
Speaker 1: mister Strong Gio forty five.
Speaker 8: But on page one ninety five the CAST report, it
Speaker 8: says there is no evidence that gender affirmative treatments reduce suicide.
Speaker 9: What I think that is referring to is there is
Speaker 9: no evidence in some in the studies that this treatment
Speaker 9: reduces completed suicide. And the reason for that is completed suicide. Thankfully,
Speaker 9: and admittedly it is rare, and we're talking about a
Speaker 9: very small population of individuals with studies that don't necessarily
Speaker 9: have completed suicides within them.
Speaker 1: However, they're okay, he gets kind of rambling there. The
Speaker 1: point is, and Alito brought this up in several different contexts, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: there's no evidence for what you're claiming. In fact, to
Speaker 1: cast report, this other report, the study out of Norway,
Speaker 1: they've all contradicted what you're claiming, and there's sciences sound
Speaker 1: and he was greeted with mumbo jumbo. I also want
Speaker 1: to get to Justice Kavanaugh on forty six.
Speaker 3: If it's evolving like that and changing, and England's pulling
Speaker 3: back and Sweden's pulling back, it strikes me as pretty
Speaker 3: heavy yellow light, if not red light, for this court
Speaker 3: to come in the nine of US and to constitutionalize
Speaker 3: the whole area when the rest of the world, or
Speaker 3: at least the people who have the countries that have
Speaker 3: been at the forefront of this, are pumping the brakes
Speaker 3: on this kind of treatment because of concerns about the rests.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Kavanaugh's argument like a bit of a judo.
Speaker 1: It's like you're saying that the science is much more
Speaker 1: solid than it actually is. But if it's so, you know,
Speaker 1: strong on both sides, let's leave it to the states.
Speaker 1: Is what Kavanaugh is saying, Yeah, it's kind of the
Speaker 1: old double reverse in that he's saying, we're not going
Speaker 1: to turn this into a constitutional issue that prevents states
Speaker 1: from doing what all of these countries are saying should
Speaker 1: be done. Get out of here with that, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to get just to make a point real quickly,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley and forty eight Michael then will move on
Speaker 1: to what I think is fantastic analysis. Parental rights is
Speaker 1: often not discussed it.
Speaker 7: It's viewed as sort of the weaker of the panoply
Speaker 7: of rights that we supposedly hold. But many parents are
Speaker 7: objecting that their children can't even get an aspirin in
Speaker 7: school without their consent, but they can get so much
Speaker 7: else that might change their identity and set them on
Speaker 7: a path that they want to be part of that
Speaker 7: decision making.
Speaker 1: They want to play a role. They know that child
Speaker 1: better than anyone. Yeah, if you've ever been in that situation,
Speaker 1: I have. I think you have two, Joe, I think
Speaker 1: you've talked about over the years where yeah, give my
Speaker 1: kid they got a horrible headache, they can't see straight,
Speaker 1: give them a freaking ibu. Profen, Well, we can't unless
Speaker 1: you come down here. And sign a piece of paper,
Speaker 1: but you'll start calling them by a different name, right,
Speaker 1: or whisk them off to a clinic to have an
Speaker 1: abortion aspirin no abortion, yes see, they claim. The progressive
Speaker 1: activists claim principles. They don't hold those principles. They know
Speaker 1: ideally Conservatives operate based on principle. Progressive activists operate merely
Speaker 1: on the lust for victory. They don't hold keeping your
Speaker 1: kids safe as a principle. They pretend to, except when
Speaker 1: it serves them. Now that fantastic analysis that will help
Speaker 1: you understand what's going on here. I apologize. We've got
Speaker 1: to take a quick break first, and then we will
Speaker 1: get to that after a word from our friends at
Speaker 1: Omaha Steaks. Perfect gift, especially for you know, anybody but
Speaker 1: Dad's grandpas whatever. My dad loves it every time I
Speaker 1: send them Omaha Steaks. The quality of the steaks, trust me,
Speaker 1: is fantastic. Always mentioned the burgers because they're the best burgers.
Speaker 1: How about that dog? That dog's and bang good too.
Speaker 1: The hot eggs are top notch. And those apples things
Speaker 1: whatever they are, they'll lets you a little tartlet. They're fabulous.
Speaker 1: Right now, you can save an uh a fifty percent
Speaker 1: off site wide, fifty percent off at Omaha Steaks dot
Speaker 1: com plus score an extra thirty dollars off with promo
Speaker 1: code Armstrong. That's a big deal. Yeah, and they have
Speaker 1: modest packages, they have big labord packages. They have all
Speaker 1: sorts of different meats and meals and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love Omaha Steaks as much as we do.
Speaker 1: It as the perfect gift for somebody who doesn't need
Speaker 1: more stuff. Again, say, fifty percent off sitewide for limited
Speaker 1: time at Omaha Steaks dot com. Plus you good folks
Speaker 1: getting extra thirty dollars off with the promo code Armstrong.
Speaker 1: That's fifty percent off at Omaha Steaks dot com. Extra
Speaker 1: thirty bucks off with the promo code Armstrong. Minimum purchases
Speaker 1: may apply. So we got that thing Joe mentioned wrapping
Speaker 1: up the trans Supreme Court thing, and also that CEO
Speaker 1: for United Healthcare. There's a lot of people happy he
Speaker 1: got gunned down, which is sick, so stay tuned for that.
Speaker 10: The US Supreme Court appears ready to allow Tennessee's ban
Speaker 10: on transgender healthcare for children. Tennessee's law bans puberty blockers
Speaker 10: and hormone therapy for transgender miners and imposes civil penalties
Speaker 10: against physicians who violate the law.
Speaker 1: The tapster are there. So here's the deal. The people
Speaker 1: challenging the Tennessee law that the Supreme Court Court heard
Speaker 1: oral arguments on yesterday banning cruel experiments on confused adolescents
Speaker 1: in the name of radical gender ideology, are claiming the
Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment, which demands equal treatment under the law, is
Speaker 1: at stake here that if a boy can get testosterone
Speaker 1: for some legitimate medical problem, then a girl must be
Speaker 1: able to get testosterone for gender bending reasons or else
Speaker 1: it's a violation of the fourteenth Amendment, which is a
Speaker 1: bizarre and wildly incorrect interpretation. And here's why the Fourteenth Amendment,
Speaker 1: and indeed, the the fourteenth Amendment says nothing about sex discrimination.
Speaker 1: Probably says nothing about women with penises. No, no, I
Speaker 1: never said it. Never come across that in the Federalist papers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And they make the point in the National Review that
Speaker 1: the people who are behind the fourteenth Amendment would be
Speaker 1: baffled by the claim that they were creating a constitutional
Speaker 1: right for confused children to take powerful drugs that irreversibly
Speaker 1: change their genitals. But anyway, here's the problem. The fourteenth
Speaker 1: Amendment was all about race. There is a presumption in law,
Speaker 1: as there should be, that it bars irrational distinctions on
Speaker 1: the basis of race, because there's a presumption that most,
Speaker 1: if not well most, discrimination based on race is irrational.
Speaker 1: I don't like black people, they shouldn't be married to
Speaker 1: white people. Whatever. That's just not rational. Now should black
Speaker 1: people have more testing for sickle cell anemia? That's not irrational.
Speaker 1: It's a very rare but strong example of a rational
Speaker 1: distinction on race. Sex is different and has a different
Speaker 1: level of scrutiny differences in sex because there has long
Speaker 1: been recognized, and by long I mean like since the
Speaker 1: dawn of man, that there are differences, rational differences between
Speaker 1: men and women, which is why forever we have had
Speaker 1: men's bathrooms and women's bathrooms, and locker rooms and sports
Speaker 1: in a thousand other examples having to do with medical
Speaker 1: care and society and the rest of them, different level
Speaker 1: of scrutiny. Completely, sex differences are real, and by the way,
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning humanity wouldn't exist without those differences, and
Speaker 1: what fun it is to combine those two differences and
Speaker 1: make a baby or at least practice the act now exactly.
Speaker 1: So the specific question before the court in the Scrima
Speaker 1: case is the Tennessee case, is whether the level of
Speaker 1: scrutiny that's applied to racial stuff should be applied to
Speaker 1: sex stuff. In other words, the lawyers for the radical
Speaker 1: gender theory folks are saying that there's no there's practically
Speaker 1: no rational differences between men and women. It's all imagined.
Speaker 1: It goes to the part of radical gender theory exactly.
Speaker 1: It's a social construct. The Biden administration, Puke and the
Speaker 1: individual challenges the Tennessee law argue that it is sex
Speaker 1: discrimination to restrict gender transition treatments but not block it
Speaker 1: for little boys who need it. Whatever. So it's the
Speaker 1: level of scrutiny question. I won't get too far into
Speaker 1: legal weeds, but it asked the question backwards. As this
Speaker 1: writer puts it, the equal protection question always comes down
Speaker 1: to whether a distinction is rational. And the distinctions between
Speaker 1: men and women are one hundred percent rational. I can
Speaker 1: see we're kind of running out of time. Even the
Speaker 1: Solicitor General conceded that Tennessee could ban a drug that
Speaker 1: was useful only in sex transitioning, because then the state
Speaker 1: is regulating the treatment, not its purpose, and they engage
Speaker 1: in a wild and wooly semantic argument that just doesn't
Speaker 1: hold any water and again rests on the idea that
Speaker 1: there's no rational difference between men and women, which is
Speaker 1: one of the most idiotic philosophies ever offered to humankind,
Speaker 1: and the fact that some over educated white people have
Speaker 1: fallen for this mostly and other people too. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a measure of how ideology can sweep away intelligence.
Speaker 1: So go get them, Supreme Court. No way this challenge
Speaker 1: that the lost hands and God willing someday that the
Speaker 1: twenty six states that banned this crap will turn into
Speaker 1: fifty lots of stuff to talk about the killing of
Speaker 1: the United Healthcare CEO, which has brought out the worst
Speaker 1: in some people. Do you see Hunter Biden at the
Speaker 1: Arby's and Ventura yesterday, He looked pretty happy. You talk
Speaker 1: about a guy who's had a lot of weight lifted
Speaker 1: off his shoulders. He is happy at the Arby's. Everything's
Speaker 1: coming up, Hunter, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 11: You have a killer who is trying to send a message.
Speaker 11: The question is what does the message really mean? What
Speaker 11: you can glean from it? If the target was carefully
Speaker 11: selected the head of a major healthcare insurance entity. Is
Speaker 11: is it directed at United Healthcare? Is it directed at
Speaker 11: that CEO? Or is this a killer who is targeting
Speaker 11: the insurance industry, which has caused everybody from hospital executives
Speaker 11: to insurance providers yesterday to start doubling and tripling the
Speaker 11: security around their top people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. That's what I thought yesterday, is that
Speaker 1: this is going to be a lot about least the
Speaker 1: speculation is going to be a lot about to have
Speaker 1: something to do with health care and insurance in this country,
Speaker 1: and the way a lot of people look at it
Speaker 1: and get angry about it and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: That was John Miller on CNN. Here's a former FBI
Speaker 1: director McCabe on CNN talking about it.
Speaker 12: The details and nuances of this attack are extraordinary. They
Speaker 12: do betray an astounding level of pre planning of organization,
Speaker 12: and it should also say cool headedness, and all of
Speaker 12: those things together would point towards a very competent assassin
Speaker 12: and potentially even someone who does this for hire.
Speaker 1: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eavesdrop on
Speaker 1: Carter page right and that's something that he did, all
Speaker 1: the things he did, and he's the go to on
Speaker 1: CNN for expertise, all those intelligence guys, Brennan and that
Speaker 1: whole cabal. Sorry to distract back to you, So the
Speaker 1: CEO of United Healthcare gets murdered, assassinated in cold blood.
Speaker 1: I've heard back and forth with experts and know a
Speaker 1: lot more about this than me. On clearly a professional
Speaker 1: assass and this, this, this, and then clearly not because
Speaker 1: of this, this and this, like going to the Starbucks
Speaker 1: and standing in line for five minutes for your latte
Speaker 1: and being on camera right before you go and shoot
Speaker 1: the guy, for instance, leaving a phone behind right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I came across a Twitter thread of a firearms
Speaker 1: expert debunking half a dozen things he saw catching fire online.
Speaker 1: This is clearly that and he said, no, it's not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, we crap. We always say the first twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, don't believe anything you hear it. It might
Speaker 1: turn out to be completely different, and it might be
Speaker 1: that way for a couple of days here. But some
Speaker 1: interesting stuff around here around this. For instance, the first
Speaker 1: story I heard yesterday afternoon was about how he was
Speaker 1: being investigated for some stock trading where he looks like
Speaker 1: he got some inside information, dumped a bunch of stock,
Speaker 1: like millions of dollars involved in this, dumped a bunch
Speaker 1: of stock right before some announcement was going to be made,
Speaker 1: and it was investigated for that. You could have friends
Speaker 1: you're involved with who they're afraid you're gonna flip and
Speaker 1: tell you know, so obviously that's a possibility. You need
Speaker 1: better friends then you start doing crimes like that and colleagues. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he and his wife have been living separate for a year. Okay,
Speaker 1: anytime you got that going on, there's probably you know,
Speaker 1: jealous lovers, anger, divorce, child, custody. Who knows what sure
Speaker 1: could be. Yeah, that's a possibility. And then he runs
Speaker 1: United Healthcare, giant giant insurance company in America, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people get pretty worked up about when insurance
Speaker 1: turns them down for this or that. A lot of
Speaker 1: people do, or if somebody they care about deeply dies
Speaker 1: because they couldn't get the paperwork to go through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there could be violent passions for a lot of different
Speaker 1: reasons in this case. And then if it turns out
Speaker 1: that there were words written on the bullets, that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: I'd say, that's you. That's silly Agatha Christie stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen in real life. Yeah, it's interesting. So
Speaker 1: he shoots a guy in cold blood and he's wearing
Speaker 1: that jacket. You've probably seen the pictures of your end
Speaker 1: of this at all, and you can't see his face,
Speaker 1: and he just walks down the street and heads towards
Speaker 1: Central Park and disappears, and he's on the loose in
Speaker 1: Manhattan somewhere. Or if he's like an actual professional assassin,
Speaker 1: he you know, he's on a plane to Mexico by
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Who would be paying for that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, But I mean, if you start doing
Speaker 1: stock weirdness at to the tunes of millions of dollars,
Speaker 1: you're talking about wealthy people being involved, and then anything
Speaker 1: is possible. This stuff bothered me a lot, though. So
Speaker 1: here's a professor. His name is Zenkis, Professor Zenkis at
Speaker 1: Columbia University. Here's his tweet yesterday after this happened. Today,
Speaker 1: we mourn the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson
Speaker 1: gunned down. Oh wait, I'm sorry. Today we mourn the
Speaker 1: deaths of sixty eight thousand Americans who needlessly die each
Speaker 1: year so that in insurance company exects like Brian Thompson
Speaker 1: can become multimillionaires. That's from a Columbia professor. How do
Speaker 1: you like that, boy? Columbia is just teeming with nut jobs.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a case to be made on that topic, sure,
Speaker 1: but what convinces you, well, you know what? It's again?
Speaker 1: A tangent came across another example of this sort of thing,
Speaker 1: and this guy was writing an editorial that was really
Speaker 1: good about how university presidents have to not be so
Speaker 1: bubbled and have to understand, you know, how their conservative
Speaker 1: students feel. His purpose was really good, but his words
Speaker 1: revealed the extent to which academics live in this artificial
Speaker 1: little world that the rest of us can't even dream of.
Speaker 1: It's like Riven Dell on the Lord of the Rings movies.
Speaker 1: They've got no competition, there's no economic ups and downs.
Speaker 1: They've got tenure. What the hell is tenure. I've spent
Speaker 1: every day my career thinking this as the last day anyway.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so this guy has such a bizarro, unreal
Speaker 1: distance he thinks this is a good idea. Barry Weiss's
Speaker 1: response to that, the Great Barry Weiss was this is
Speaker 1: a Columbia professor and trauma expert. That's one of his things.
Speaker 1: People have lost their minds. I don't know who this
Speaker 1: guy is. He's an activist on the left and rights
Speaker 1: for a bunch of publications I've never heard of. So
Speaker 1: whether he's a big dealer or not, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But here was his tweet. The gunman is at large.
Speaker 1: So if you see anything, no U efing didn't protect
Speaker 1: this person, also do more. That's a hero. That's my
Speaker 1: efing hero right there. Wow, Wow, you are a sick
Speaker 1: f friend another prominently placed lefty And this is absolute
Speaker 1: nut picking. I mean it's easy to pick up, pick
Speaker 1: out crazy people on the right and crazy people on
Speaker 1: the left and then try to make a narrative like
Speaker 1: they all believe. Yeah, but there are people lunatic right
Speaker 1: when conservative professors for me, I'll give you all day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's an excellent point. Another person that I don't
Speaker 1: know who they were. But why wouldn't we just be
Speaker 1: sending emails to all the other CEOs of the healthcare
Speaker 1: companies saying you're on the list too. That sort of
Speaker 1: thing so yeah, because we all know cold blooded murder
Speaker 1: in the streets is the way to affect positive policy
Speaker 1: changes in a civilization. People, seriously, you know there's about
Speaker 1: twenty Well, i'll just go domestically, there's about fifteen percent
Speaker 1: of the population of this great country that I have
Speaker 1: written off. They're ugly, they're idiots, they're bigots, whatever, and
Speaker 1: I accept their existence and I try not to get
Speaker 1: stirred up at them because I don't want them to
Speaker 1: have that power over me. But holy cow, some people
Speaker 1: are twisted. I do have a little bit of foma
Speaker 1: switching gears. Now, do you have more on the killing?
Speaker 1: Not really. I wish the inspector's the best of luck
Speaker 1: in and covering the clues, and you're bringing the scum
Speaker 1: back to justice. You want to make a quick guess,
Speaker 1: I'm still willing to go with nutjob. But random nut job,
Speaker 1: I'll give you fifty to one against Really, I think
Speaker 1: he probably has some sort of healthcare story, but he's
Speaker 1: also a nutjob. Oh well, yeah, well yeah, As I
Speaker 1: was making the point, anybody thinks that murder in the
Speaker 1: streets is the way to affect some sort of positive
Speaker 1: change is by definition of nutjob so yeah, unfair, unfair
Speaker 1: on my part. I got some serious foma going on,
Speaker 1: fear of missing out, not specifically around bitcoin, although that's
Speaker 1: some of it, the fact that it's up forty percent
Speaker 1: such election day and I don't have any bitcoin, and
Speaker 1: I've never got into it. The article on the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal today about how Wall Street is partying like
Speaker 1: it's nineteen ninety eight. Is AI fuels gains unmatched since
Speaker 1: the dot com era? Oh yeah, the markets are insane, Yeah,
Speaker 1: with all kinds of specific things that you know. And
Speaker 1: I'm into this and I've been watching it go up
Speaker 1: now for months. I could have jumped in, and I didn't.
Speaker 1: That's where foma comes from. Of course, if you remember
Speaker 1: the dot com era, it had a kind of hilarious ending.
Speaker 1: There were whole well I never got involved in that
Speaker 1: one either, So I didn't my entire fortune in dogfood
Speaker 1: dot com And now you're laughing, you bastard. I didn't
Speaker 1: get in on that one either. So but uh, you
Speaker 1: know a whole bunch of things that weren't actually ever
Speaker 1: gonna be successful that became billion dollar companies then disappeared overnight,
Speaker 1: will happen again? Right? Did I talk about the my
Speaker 1: Asian stock tip lift driver on the air or did
Speaker 1: that happen during vacation. That might happen during vacation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, I didn't. I haven't heard of this.
Speaker 1: So I got a flat tire in my Tesla, which
Speaker 1: was highly annoying, And it's like the sixth one I've had.
Speaker 1: Because electric cars are so heavy that they wear out
Speaker 1: tires really really fast. That's another thing that you don't
Speaker 1: hear about a lot from the people pushing like Kevin
Speaker 1: or newsome asn't mentioned that. But and because I have
Speaker 1: a very specific tire and very specific car, they were
Speaker 1: gonna have my car for like four days because of
Speaker 1: a flat tire. That's insane. Any I have two which
Speaker 1: I drive. I've had zero flat tires, and if I
Speaker 1: had one, I would change it in five minutes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is not the you know what this is. I
Speaker 1: don't care the way you gotta do. You got to
Speaker 1: pile up all the Tesla tires that have gone flat
Speaker 1: in your backyard, set them ablaze and have a protest
Speaker 1: tire fire. Oh, that would get attention, It would get
Speaker 1: coverage worldwide. It would, it actually would, And I'd just
Speaker 1: keep mentioning Armstrong and Getty. So I have to take
Speaker 1: a lift to go pick up my car after the
Speaker 1: because I got a rental car. Anyway, I'm right with
Speaker 1: this guy. He's got a thick Asian accent that I
Speaker 1: wish I could do because it makes the story more entertaining.
Speaker 1: But I would get canceled for it. But he was
Speaker 1: He's an older guy. First thing he asked me when
Speaker 1: I get in. He said, uh, car broke down And
Speaker 1: I said, oh, I got close to doing an accent there.
Speaker 1: Don't do it, Jack, And I said, nah, I got
Speaker 1: a flat tire in my Tesla. He was driving a
Speaker 1: Tesla and he said, oh, yeah, they get a lot
Speaker 1: of flat tires. He said, Tesla is a good stock.
Speaker 1: Though you have any stocks? Is the lift driver? I
Speaker 1: said yeah, I got quite a fee. He said, what
Speaker 1: are you mostly invested in? I said, I got a guy.
Speaker 1: I'm invested in a lot of stuff. I don't really pay
Speaker 1: attention that clothes. He said, ah, yeah, pay attention. I
Speaker 1: bought Tesla stock a long time ago. I got about
Speaker 1: nine hundred thousand dollars worth of Tesla stock. I bought
Speaker 1: it early and everything I said, I said, wow, good
Speaker 1: for you. I said, my stock guy like ten years
Speaker 1: ago told me it was going to go down, and
Speaker 1: it was a bad idea. So I didn't get into Tesla,
Speaker 1: similar to why I didn't get into bitcoin in video
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of other stuff. But but he
Speaker 1: just kept going. He said, Oh, you got to pay attention.
Speaker 1: He said, I got Tesla and I got Nvidia. He said,
Speaker 1: I got in on that early, so I'm doing it.
Speaker 1: I said, I said, so, do you drive a Lyft
Speaker 1: for fun? He said, yeah, I drive it fun. I
Speaker 1: like to talk to people. I mostly I like to
Speaker 1: talk about stocks. And I said, well, I bought fifty
Speaker 1: thousand bucks worth of applestock in nineteen ninety two. I
Speaker 1: now have seventy million dollars. But what'd you say, A
Speaker 1: right turn ahead? I said, I gathered that, or I
Speaker 1: thought I gathered that. Do you like to talk about stock?
Speaker 1: Since it was the first thing he asked me when
Speaker 1: I got in the car, and he talked about the
Speaker 1: entire drive and I said, my dad and he was
Speaker 1: an older guy, like retired, and uh, I said, you
Speaker 1: and my dad would get along, I said, because my
Speaker 1: dad does that. All all he does is like watch
Speaker 1: the stock stuff all day long and buy and sell
Speaker 1: and that's just his life is following this stuff. And
Speaker 1: he said, oh yeah, yeah, that's what I do all
Speaker 1: day long. Is the only thing I read, the only
Speaker 1: news I follow. And anyway, we got on the Tesla
Speaker 1: and he said, I hate the cyber truck and I said, well,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. You got all the Tesla sacking. Looks like
Speaker 1: a three year old drew it. You gave a three
Speaker 1: year old a crayon, that's what they draw. Wow, it
Speaker 1: does have rather simple lines. I thought that was pretty
Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious. He was a he was
Speaker 1: He was like, he was a simple guy who you know,
Speaker 1: decided to pay attention to the winds and has made
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of money that way. And I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm not doing that and should spend more time
Speaker 1: doing that, because the AI thing has exploded and a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff clearly was going to be hot,
Speaker 1: and it has been, whether it's investing or betting on politics,
Speaker 1: which I've talked about. I have my New Year's resolution already.
Speaker 1: I've got twenty six days of relaxing. Now I've got
Speaker 1: it for twenty twenty five. I'm going to be greedier. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: if it's greed is good, as was famously said in
Speaker 1: the movie of Wall Street. You know, if that drives
Speaker 1: you to pay there, why not? You know what else
Speaker 1: is good? Not spending more than you make. France is
Speaker 1: falling apart as predicted, and it is absolutely a big
Speaker 1: French canary in a coal mine that we'd better pay
Speaker 1: attention to in this country or we will follow a
Speaker 1: similar path. Yeah, that's what the Doge project is about.
Speaker 1: Lepath de doom. I do want to talk about Hunter
Speaker 1: at Arby's, as they said, that's a good story, Hunter Biden,
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden at Arby's yesterday. Yes, if you were in
Speaker 1: mature did you see Hunter Biden at the Arby's Man,
Speaker 1: did he have a big smile on his face? And
Speaker 1: why wouldn't he? Lots of stuff on the way stay here?
Speaker 13: Political drama overseas yesterday when the president of South Korea
Speaker 13: declared surprise martial law, that's actually really impressive. You know
Speaker 13: how hard it is to throw a surprise martial law.
Speaker 13: You have to get the entire military to hide behind
Speaker 13: the couch and then.
Speaker 1: Be quiet at the same time, turn off the tank,
Speaker 1: turn off the tank. That is an amazing story. And
Speaker 1: the fact that it came and got as crazy as
Speaker 1: it did but didn't go all the way and then
Speaker 1: got settled down in the you know, multi hour period
Speaker 1: is really something. Yeah, that the institutions of South Korea
Speaker 1: held in the face of that challenge is is great.
Speaker 1: It's cool, and this is why I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: there being warfare in the streets and civil war, Trump
Speaker 1: becoming Hitler or any of that crap. Our constitution and
Speaker 1: our systems are way way stronger and more resilient than
Speaker 1: South Korea is. So anyway, coming up, how does that
Speaker 1: cup of coffee in the morning actually do what it
Speaker 1: does physiologically psychologically. I came across like a blow by
Speaker 1: blow your first zip and if you're a fiene addict
Speaker 1: like us, it's pretty interesting, kind of fun. I was
Speaker 1: hoping to get to it this segment, but we jabbered
Speaker 1: on so much last segment. This one's going to be
Speaker 1: kind of short. I thought this was notable Eli Lilly's
Speaker 1: zep Bound, which still sounds like a coming of age
Speaker 1: movie set in the seventies to me, not a drug.
Speaker 1: It beat with GOV in the first head to head
Speaker 1: study pretty solidly. Among your semi glue tide superpower weight
Speaker 1: loss drugs that are so popular these days, people who
Speaker 1: took the zep bound lost seventeen pounds more on average
Speaker 1: after seventy two weeks of treatment. Seventy two weeks. That's
Speaker 1: a good long trial than those that were given wigov.
Speaker 1: We're missing one of them. What's the name? The name
Speaker 1: I hear more often? Right?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: Godzilla? No, what's the one? You know, Michael? Do you
Speaker 1: hear it all the time? Uh? Oh, zempic? Yeah, yeah, right, oh,
Speaker 1: zemp that's the one that gets all the talk like
Speaker 1: it's almost the generic term for these weight loss drugs
Speaker 1: drugs is ozempic, but the wi gob is the best. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if they uh why did they
Speaker 1: not do o zempic. It does not say have you
Speaker 1: have you looked into this at all or considered it all.
Speaker 1: I haven't considered it, so I haven't been paying that
Speaker 1: much attention, not not seriously, because you know, any weight
Speaker 1: related problems I have are are fine at this point.
Speaker 1: Blood pressure is really the only one I think much about. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I take a horse pill every day and
Speaker 1: that's probably not ideal, but my mine any weight situations
Speaker 1: I have would be how about I try not eating
Speaker 1: all the crap I eat for a while, because you
Speaker 1: could start there, have a good place to start. Anyway,
Speaker 1: people took zep bound lost twenty percent of their body
Speaker 1: weight on average body weight fourteen percent for we go
Speaker 1: V patients. The question though, as we all know, what
Speaker 1: is the number one question for weight loss? Number one?
Speaker 1: With a bullet? Can you keep it off? Yeah? Does
Speaker 1: it stay off? Right? Does it? Or do we not know?
Speaker 1: It hasn't been around long enough. Yes, it does if
Speaker 1: you do the right things. Well that's are you going
Speaker 1: to do the right thing? No, neither's anybody else? All right,
Speaker 1: all right, right, Yeah, it's an ongoing battle. I've known
Speaker 1: people who have kept it off brilliantly, and plenty you
Speaker 1: have not anybody who's lost weight knows that they were
Speaker 1: in a period of time where they were just so
Speaker 1: disciplined without ever cheating, and just on the beam. And
Speaker 1: then when you got off the beam, you gained weight
Speaker 1: and you never quite could get back on the beam again,
Speaker 1: not to the same level anyway. Thanksgiving parade balloon and
Speaker 1: I speak for myself here. So we're at war with China.
Speaker 1: Don't know if you've noticed. We're being invaded by Venezuelan
Speaker 1: gang members and we're in the third one. Oh there
Speaker 1: and the pets of the people who live there. Yes,
Speaker 1: and we're also going broke, So anyway more to come
Speaker 1: stay with us, Armstrong and Getty
