Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: I just saw a Jersey Mike's. The Sandwich Shop is
Speaker 3: going to go public value at about eight billion dollars.
Speaker 3: Remember we had a thing a week or so ago
Speaker 3: about how people like Jersey Mike's the best out of
Speaker 3: all your chain sandwich I've never had one. I got
Speaker 3: to seek one out and have one that sounds delicious
Speaker 3: right now? A good A good sandwich.
Speaker 2: I love a good sandwich. They're very good.
Speaker 3: Since I've never had pastrami before the first one I
Speaker 3: ever have, I want it to be good. Should I
Speaker 3: do a chain like Jersey Mikes or should I make
Speaker 3: sure I get to like a real deli, mom and
Speaker 3: pop sort of deli for kastrami or something?
Speaker 2: Because I want to. I want to. I want to
Speaker 2: not be disappointed since you don't high.
Speaker 1: End sando shop and give you a really good, uh
Speaker 1: pastrami sandwich.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although you know, if you've got a local deli
Speaker 1: that does sandwiches, you do, you be all right either way?
Speaker 2: Does Cordy brothers do that. Michael, do you know local places? No,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll have to look into it, and
Speaker 2: I'll bet they'd be good.
Speaker 4: I'm told there is a place in Rockland that is
Speaker 4: Pastrami specific though.
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, is that the name of it? Pastrami
Speaker 3: specific be a good name for us store? So uh
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier. I watched Mark Halprin's newscast in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: Sometimes he's always ranking democrats run it that are likely
Speaker 3: to run for president and where they are in their list.
Speaker 3: He currently has Kamala Harris at the top because Bernie
Speaker 3: Sanders are like number two, but he has had aoc
Speaker 3: fairly high up for a long time because he just
Speaker 3: sinks in this moment, she could get the nomination catch
Speaker 3: fire with this whole populous moment, just like I could
Speaker 3: picture that.
Speaker 1: I will play for the next World Cup winner before
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the nominee for president.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. Well, I feel like I'd go at you
Speaker 2: regularly as a coach. I'd say, Joe, if you didn't,
Speaker 2: you'd be a fool target. Joe, is he paralyzed. I've
Speaker 2: never seen a man move so slowly over on that
Speaker 2: side of the field.
Speaker 1: Go over target, keep going at him.
Speaker 2: He paralla Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: She couldn't raise thirty dollars for her presidential run. Right now,
Speaker 1: She'll go to her husband. He'll be like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a little tight right now.
Speaker 3: Anyway, AOC was making the rounds and she was in
Speaker 3: a southern state and she adopted a little bit of
Speaker 3: a Southern accent. Keep in mind she calls herself a
Speaker 3: Bronx girl.
Speaker 5: We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind. We cannot afford
Speaker 5: to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia, behind
Speaker 5: South Carolina behind. Hey, there is no country. When we
Speaker 5: are split apart. We will not be chased out of
Speaker 5: places anymore.
Speaker 6: Brothers and sisters, Brother lord, oh my god, what are
Speaker 6: politicians to do that? And what's amazing to me about
Speaker 6: that is that, uh, like Trump, Trump went around.
Speaker 2: It just was Trump and people loved it.
Speaker 3: Always use the example of he's at the motorcycle rally
Speaker 3: instead of like every other politician that's ever done the
Speaker 3: big motorcycle rally.
Speaker 2: He didn't ride in on a motorcycle leather ticket. He
Speaker 2: showed up. But he's playing in a suit and said
Speaker 2: I don't like motorcycles, no cause playing for Trump? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Behind behind? Why you saying behind? You're from Boston, right
Speaker 3: or wherever?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's ridiculous and funny. All right, So here's
Speaker 1: a little guessing game, Michael, I'm gonna want to clip
Speaker 1: number thirty four. What sort of gathering is this?
Speaker 7: To fight back against this fascist regime, we need to
Speaker 7: be in the streets, wisely using our wallets, battling in
Speaker 7: the courts, and winning at the ballot box, the center
Speaker 7: of our democracy.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll bet you're forming up a guest. Let's do
Speaker 1: thirty three now, sing gathering.
Speaker 6: Approaches together, to vote together, to act.
Speaker 5: Together, to bring about.
Speaker 3: Change, real, lasting, life improving change.
Speaker 6: That is the power and potential of.
Speaker 2: Our movement, and all the a f day ah. She
Speaker 2: gave it away at the end.
Speaker 1: If you guessed, yeah, that's just the annual conference of
Speaker 1: a teacher union, you'd be right, right, radical politics, revolution
Speaker 1: against quote unquote fascist regimes.
Speaker 2: That's the state of our our teachers.
Speaker 3: Well, i'd like change in our public schools too, like
Speaker 3: emphasize reading and writing in mathematics.
Speaker 2: I'll bet that didn't come up even once.
Speaker 3: So it's so depressed about the state of public education
Speaker 3: because my kids are still in school. I mean it,
Speaker 3: like it it like literally, I'm not just using that
Speaker 3: word the way people use it all the time. It
Speaker 3: makes me, if I think about it much depressed, like
Speaker 3: barely confunction hopeless depressed.
Speaker 2: It's bad. It's really really bad. Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm always hobbling about it, just trying to
Speaker 1: do whatever I can we can to at least alert
Speaker 1: people so they vote in school board elections and pay
Speaker 1: attention's to what's being taught in their schools. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: troubling for sure. On the more general topic of socialism, though,
Speaker 1: I thought this was so interesting. I read constantly, not
Speaker 1: deep reading jack newspaper articles, generally website articles, and it
Speaker 1: struck me that whether you're talking about the part of
Speaker 1: southern California that was devastated by the wildfire, and if
Speaker 1: it were not so bitterly angering, it would be hilarious,
Speaker 1: how few permits have been granted to rebuild people's homes
Speaker 1: in their lives. Likewise, Maui, Maui has rebuilt virtually no
Speaker 1: homes since the Great Wildfire There not terribly long ago.
Speaker 2: Quite a few years ago. At this point they still
Speaker 2: haven't done right, Oh my god, practically none.
Speaker 1: And also I can't remember if it was the journal
Speaker 1: New York Times, doesn't really matter with a big article
Speaker 1: about how London has a terrible, terrible housing shortage right now,
Speaker 1: and it's all the same thing. They have such thick, complex,
Speaker 1: contradictory regulations about housing in all three of those places,
Speaker 1: so much government red tape they can't build, and the
Speaker 1: particulars you think it's made up just the efforts to
Speaker 1: you know, this one apartment they've been trying to build,
Speaker 1: like eighty apartments in London in some crappy old building,
Speaker 1: and they've submitted eleven thousand pages of documents to the
Speaker 1: government so far. They're five years into the please can
Speaker 1: we just build some apartments process, and they've been sent
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board again by the bureaucrats who
Speaker 1: run this stuff. And at the risk of going off
Speaker 1: on this tangent too long, I came across this great
Speaker 1: thing piece, but oh my god, it was so long
Speaker 1: written about how well meaning regulations by smart, good people
Speaker 1: accumulate in layers until they form this monster that present
Speaker 1: prevents any any activity, any productivity, the problem being if
Speaker 1: you look at any individual regulation, you say, well, I
Speaker 1: get that, that that makes sense. We probably should be
Speaker 1: careful about this that, but it tends to just become
Speaker 1: this giant clog. Anyway, it's an interesting topic in the guys,
Speaker 1: I just read and read it and read and read
Speaker 1: waiting for this genius is prescription for fixing this problem.
Speaker 1: And at the end it was kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess we just got to do
Speaker 1: our best to get rid of some of them. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: damn it. Anyway, that all leads to this. This is
Speaker 1: so interesting to me. They got a new Prime Minister
Speaker 1: in Great Britain. Andy Burnham's name kind of populous lefty guy.
Speaker 2: Is it Bernie Sanders type of guy? Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: younger though, but quite a bit younger as stage.
Speaker 1: He's the perfect example of and the housing market is
Speaker 1: a great example this how bureaucracy and heavy handed government
Speaker 1: slash socialism cause a problem. The bureaucrats managed to blame
Speaker 1: free enterprise, and the voters, especially young voters, double down
Speaker 1: on it and ask for more of the very thing
Speaker 1: that's caused the problem. Like Nelly Bowles had a great,
Speaker 1: great account of how rent control in New York City
Speaker 1: is absolutely making it impossible for who young people and
Speaker 1: minorities and recent immigrants to get housing. The older folks,
Speaker 1: the rich folks who are in these rent controlled units,
Speaker 1: they're great. But as the landlord, if I've got ten
Speaker 1: units and you've made me keep five of them at
Speaker 1: ridiculously low rates, I can't even come close to covering
Speaker 1: my costs.
Speaker 2: Here's your.
Speaker 1: Microeconomics test, your one question final. I have ten units,
Speaker 1: five of them are forced to be way below market
Speaker 1: rates to break even. What do I have to do
Speaker 1: with the other five units? Right? Jack up the price
Speaker 1: so I'm I can at least cover my costs. And
Speaker 1: it's just it's horrifically unproductive. It does the opposite. But
Speaker 1: a Mamdani comes along and says, what we need is
Speaker 1: more government interfere you know, involvement. So this is this
Speaker 1: is all leading up to this. You know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna advocate for taking a break and come
Speaker 1: back with believe it or not, The New York Times
Speaker 1: account of the five main challenges facing Britain's new Prime minister.
Speaker 1: And I want you to look at this through the
Speaker 1: lens of socialism. Sucks and it never works. The five
Speaker 1: challenges facing the new British Prime minister.
Speaker 2: Get some tea, get some.
Speaker 1: Crumpet eight crump some crump bets, get comfortable, and we'll
Speaker 1: come back with that in seconds. Elizabeth Warren just endorsed
Speaker 1: that democrat wackado socialist up in Michigan who's for medicare,
Speaker 1: cradle to grave, seven percent wealth tax on billionaires every year,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Got the endorsement of Elizabeth Warren. So socialism March. The
Speaker 3: Islamist guy doctor what's his name, Yeah, yeah, who didn't
Speaker 3: get a medical license.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not actually a doctor, yep, yep, like doctor Jill
Speaker 1: never forget anyway.
Speaker 2: So I thought this was so interesting.
Speaker 1: Britain is struggling badly, badly badly, I mean economically, socially,
Speaker 1: immigration wise, and they've got a new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham,
Speaker 1: who's a far left guy. As Jack described him, he's
Speaker 1: like a Bernie Sanders guy.
Speaker 3: Got that a weird system they've got where he like
Speaker 3: never want anything. He was a mayor of some town
Speaker 3: and now he's Prime minister. The way that can happen
Speaker 3: in their system is confusing to me.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's different, for sure, but so I thought this
Speaker 1: was the lefty New York Times has the five main
Speaker 1: challenges he's going to be facing in your framework again,
Speaker 1: is socialism caused this? Why are you electing a socialist?
Speaker 1: Number one, an economy in the doldrums, years of stagnating
Speaker 1: living standards back dating back to eight in the financial crisis,
Speaker 1: and they say made worse by Brexit and the COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, bresit's a little unique.
Speaker 1: We didn't have that here, but we had all those
Speaker 1: things happened to us in the US too, and our
Speaker 1: economy is actually doing pretty well these days. So mister
Speaker 1: Burnham needs to introduce tangible improvements for Britons. He's vowed
Speaker 1: to stick to his party's general election pledge in twenty
Speaker 1: four not to increase the main tax is. However, we'll
Speaker 1: face many of the same challenges as Keir starmer Lah.
Speaker 1: Challenge Number two is conflicts abroad in the efraying special
Speaker 1: relationship with the United States. I concede that that's mostly
Speaker 1: a different question and has nothing to do with our theme.
Speaker 1: But number three, finding more cash for military spending. Okay,
Speaker 1: they have no money to defend themselves as the Armstrong doctrine,
Speaker 1: because they've had the umbrella of American military.
Speaker 3: Security for decades now generation well, right, and then you're
Speaker 3: promising all these you know, gifts to everyone, which socialism does.
Speaker 2: Where are you going to find extra money when you're
Speaker 2: doing that.
Speaker 1: A few weeks not too long ago, Starmer announced plans
Speaker 1: to raise military spending by fifteen billion pounds about twenty
Speaker 1: billion dollars over the next four years, but he left
Speaker 1: out any details about where the money would come from.
Speaker 1: Number four. They need to navigate a Nazi immigration debate.
Speaker 1: This one's interesting. It's somewhat a different theme, but huge,
Speaker 1: huge majorities of Brits say we've had way too much immigration,
Speaker 1: way too fast. Our country is changing much too quickly
Speaker 1: and we hate it. Immigration has actually fallen a lot,
Speaker 1: but only a minority of people are aware that net
Speaker 1: migration has fallen.
Speaker 2: Why. Well, because the folks that are already there, they can't.
Speaker 1: Tell the rate of immigration. I'm not like checking people
Speaker 1: off as they walk in the country. All they know
Speaker 1: is that their country is off track. And then finally,
Speaker 1: number five, this is the big challenge facing the new
Speaker 1: even more socialisty socialist. The rising cost of welfare and pensions.
Speaker 1: Britain's welfare bill is rising. One reason is the growing
Speaker 1: number of claims from working age people with mental health conditions,
Speaker 1: many of whom are young and unemployed, generally depression, anxiety,
Speaker 1: whatever else. But the biggest chunk of Britain's social security spending,
Speaker 1: more than half the total, goes to retired people through
Speaker 1: state pensions and other supports. Spending has been pushed higher
Speaker 1: by an aging population and the so called triple lock,
Speaker 1: which guarantees pensions increased by the highest of three measures.
Speaker 2: Wow're doomed. So all their problems are.
Speaker 3: The sort of thing that could only be fixed if
Speaker 3: you were about to if you elected today somebody who's
Speaker 3: like a fiscal conservative is going to tell some hard
Speaker 3: truths to people. But instead he elected somebody who's further
Speaker 3: down that road of believing in that nonsense.
Speaker 1: Right, Wow, exactly, good luck. I was trying to dial
Speaker 1: up the waiting times again, that's right. Keeping in mind
Speaker 1: that the National Health Service, which is absolutely bleeding money,
Speaker 1: ironically and going broke in Britain. If your doctor says,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you've got cancer, it is urgent, you
Speaker 1: get treatment. Their goal, which they don't mean, is let's
Speaker 1: get eighty five percent of people into treatment within two months.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, within two months.
Speaker 1: It's actually less than seventy percent who gets started within
Speaker 1: two months if they get an urgent referral from the
Speaker 1: general practitioner.
Speaker 3: I would have been paralyzed, if not dead, if that
Speaker 3: had happened when I had my cancer. Yeah wow, I
Speaker 3: got my care started in like a week after I
Speaker 3: was diagnosed.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine you got a sore throat, you call
Speaker 1: for an appointment. The average weight time is eighteen weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have had three or four sore throats from
Speaker 1: now and then, plus a dose of the clap of
Speaker 1: a spring the ankle.
Speaker 3: Eighteen weeks. What does that have to do? What's what
Speaker 3: I got? Now you finally get in, how's your sore
Speaker 3: throat coming along? Well, it's I don't remember it better
Speaker 3: than my heart attack the other day.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: That I'm going to have to write this out for
Speaker 1: you because my sore throat destroyed my vocal cords. I
Speaker 1: can no longer speak because that was four months ago.
Speaker 1: It's either going to go away on its own or
Speaker 1: kill you in that amount of time. Right, Wow, that
Speaker 1: is crazy, and that's held up as the gold standard
Speaker 1: by a lot.
Speaker 2: Of lefties Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8: A growing debate over data centers as a number of
Speaker 8: demonstrations play out across the country from Atlanta to Berkeley, California.
Speaker 2: We want to slow it on data center development.
Speaker 7: We want to slow it on AI in general, and
Speaker 7: stop big tech from infringing on our local communities.
Speaker 8: The explosion of data center construction projects the byproduct of
Speaker 8: the AI in cloud computing boom. That skyrocketing growth also
Speaker 8: prompting new scrutiny as communities housing these centers say they
Speaker 8: are bearing new burdens of heightened water and power usage.
Speaker 3: This whole data center's debate thing is really interesting. I
Speaker 3: wish AI never happened. So it's not like I'm in
Speaker 3: favor of AI, but it is happening. It's going to happen,
Speaker 3: and I'd rather we get it than China. But then
Speaker 3: just on the data center saying, I wish more people
Speaker 3: knew that so much of the information out there the
Speaker 3: Tanai data centers is coming from the Chinese who want
Speaker 3: us to who want to win the AI.
Speaker 1: Battle, Right, right, they held that big conference saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: it ought to be open source and everybody should share,
Speaker 1: says the person in second place, right right, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: get to first place, then what's your attitude going to be?
Speaker 2: Their shijinping?
Speaker 3: So we know Russia and China are filling our social
Speaker 3: media with sometimes very false things about these data centers.
Speaker 3: A Quinnipiac Pennsylvania poll, would you support or oppose building
Speaker 3: an AI data center in your community?
Speaker 2: Support?
Speaker 3: Sixteen percent, ap pose seventy four Wow. So if and
Speaker 3: if that's representative of a lot of places in the country,
Speaker 3: it might be even less support you get into some
Speaker 3: of your rural Midwest areas. They got a hell of
Speaker 3: a hill to climb to try to convince people that
Speaker 3: it's okay to have these data centers various places. That's
Speaker 3: an interesting one.
Speaker 1: You know, I think support might be higher in those
Speaker 1: places you described, you think as opposed to the everybody
Speaker 1: has got a degree in women's studies.
Speaker 2: From vasser parts of the country. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll have to ask my brother what
Speaker 2: he thinks. But I don't know.
Speaker 3: This guy who calls himself meet Dad, he's an influencer online.
Speaker 3: Apparently he posts a lot of videos about meat. You
Speaker 3: could be really anything. If your nickname is meat Dad,
Speaker 3: you could be the most popular person on grinder.
Speaker 2: I don't. You could be a lots of things.
Speaker 3: Oohl Boy, for instance, This guy's all about meat. He
Speaker 3: had his Welcome to California video that he pot over
Speaker 3: the weekend. I saw he was in a San Jose Walmart.
Speaker 3: It started when they are locking up your toothpaste.
Speaker 2: Locking up my toothpaste, and.
Speaker 3: Then it went to deodorant in hair brushes and everything else.
Speaker 3: They're now locking up the meat at the Walmart. So
Speaker 3: you've got this big thing of meat. They don't lock
Speaker 3: it up because I guess that would be two incommune
Speaker 3: or something. But it's in this metal wire casing so
Speaker 3: that if you want to be able to get the
Speaker 3: meat out of it, you have to have somebody in
Speaker 3: lock it up front.
Speaker 2: You stole the story, you wouldn't be able to get
Speaker 2: into it. People want to beef a meat vault, Great,
Speaker 2: that's just great, just give away civilization.
Speaker 3: I don't get you people who don't recognize that something
Speaker 3: fundamental has changed when we didn't have to lock things
Speaker 3: up on store shelves for the last thousand years, but
Speaker 3: now you do something changed.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But what they'd say is, yeah, capitalism is forcing people
Speaker 1: into desperate message.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 3: I have a friend who would say that everything income
Speaker 3: inequality has never been this bad.
Speaker 2: God, that's why people are stealing meat. Wear a helmet
Speaker 2: everywhere you go because your head soft. Different story.
Speaker 3: So I've mentioned on the air several times before that
Speaker 3: I think because of one of my several bouts with COVID.
Speaker 3: I think I had COVID four times that I know of,
Speaker 3: I lost my sense of taste. I know it affected
Speaker 3: my sense of smell and taste and smell go together.
Speaker 3: As we all know, I can't taste sweet. As I've
Speaker 3: mentioned very many times, my son doesn't believe me. And
Speaker 3: first I don't know why it doesn't believe Maybe it
Speaker 3: doesn't believe me that I can't taste sweet.
Speaker 2: And I thought, why haven't I had this checked?
Speaker 3: So I just so I sent a message to my
Speaker 3: doctor over the weekend and I just got back from
Speaker 3: me said, yeah, I can send you. I did a
Speaker 3: little research on chat GPT about how they do that,
Speaker 3: and it's an e NT that usually does the test.
Speaker 3: And I wondered if there are any self tests you
Speaker 3: can do, but there are any really good ones. To
Speaker 3: really get it, you need to go to medical professionals.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I got I'm getting referred to my
Speaker 3: e INT and insurance covers it because it's considered a
Speaker 3: big enough problem, I guess, So I'm actually not gonna
Speaker 3: get tested. I'm really looking forward to seeing in what
Speaker 3: way my taste has been affected. My taste and smell, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and really nil it down. And so yesterday I'm at
Speaker 3: the gym and I started to get every once in
Speaker 3: a while, I get that uh uh thing where your
Speaker 3: sugar's off balance and I start to get sweaty and shaky.
Speaker 2: What's the actual name for then, low blood hype o glycemia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that, ahile, not very often, and it's
Speaker 3: always just out of nowhere. I've never found any pattern
Speaker 3: to it, but every once in a while I get it,
Speaker 3: and I get it bad, like I can't I can't function.
Speaker 2: That's an awful feeling. Just a couple of.
Speaker 3: Times a year, really. But I got to get some
Speaker 3: sort of food or sure, So I went and I
Speaker 3: was at the gym, and they don't have any food there.
Speaker 3: They don't have a vening machine anywhere, but they have coffee,
Speaker 3: and so I got a couple of sugar packets, like
Speaker 3: cane sugar packets, and I ate two sugar packets, oh point,
Speaker 3: which did the trick and.
Speaker 2: Got rid of it really fast. So maybe I should
Speaker 2: keep sugar packets in my car. There are better solutions.
Speaker 2: Well then, what why? What's wrong with that solution? That
Speaker 2: would cause an insulin spike? I was fine, you don't
Speaker 2: want that. It's only fifteen grams of or fifteen calories
Speaker 2: per sugar packet according to jet GPT. You know what,
Speaker 2: it's funny that point, so a total of thirty calories.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that'd doing a whole lot of damage.
Speaker 1: That points out the astounding amount of sugar that's in
Speaker 1: sugary drinks, because I think.
Speaker 2: You ate two hole sugar packets.
Speaker 1: That's like no sugar, no compared to a coke or
Speaker 1: a Starbucks drink or what happened? Took in thirty calories
Speaker 1: sixteen grams of sugar, which is not even It's like
Speaker 1: a sip of a Coca cola.
Speaker 2: I have a first field sugar packets for everyone. Anyway,
Speaker 2: there's sugar packets. I couldn't taste anything. It was tasteless.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I can't I can't wait to find out, Like,
Speaker 3: in what other ways has it affected my smell or taste?
Speaker 2: I don't know you taste in movies? Who knows? Who knows?
Speaker 2: COVID mysterious.
Speaker 3: I almost made a horrifying joke that I'm glad I
Speaker 3: didn't make that. That could have done me damage for
Speaker 3: the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: What was it? Oh, I'll bet I can guess. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'll bet you can. Then I'm glad I didn't, right,
Speaker 2: little restraints exactly.
Speaker 1: Maturity came late, but it came folks or or it's
Speaker 1: low TI, that's not maturity as low.
Speaker 3: I was reading some interesting stuff over the weekend. But
Speaker 3: you know, Pete Heggs at the Secretary of War announced
Speaker 3: they're going to start testing the test testing the testosterone
Speaker 3: of new soldiers and if they if their testosteron is low,
Speaker 3: they're going to give them testosterone treatments to bring the
Speaker 3: testosterone up to a certain level, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: Are our young men actually below normal? Don't know.
Speaker 1: The announcement was once you hit thirty, they're going to
Speaker 1: start testing that.
Speaker 2: I thought, well, I consider thirty a young man, so
Speaker 2: I guess maybe that's where we're from.
Speaker 1: This from where I stand, yes, uh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's an interesting question. And there have
Speaker 1: been a number of jokes made, some of them pretty
Speaker 1: good about finally gender affirming care. But you need manly men, certainly.
Speaker 8: Who were grown in bats and had never done or
Speaker 8: said anything.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, wow, viy the max dose? Yes zero Tee'm.
Speaker 1: Concernedest Yeah, I don't think you do, buddy.
Speaker 3: Some people some people mocked this out of hand. I'm
Speaker 3: not exactly sure why. I guess because you have to
Speaker 3: mock anything Pete Hesith does in some circles.
Speaker 1: In testosterone or masculinity are seen as dirty words on
Speaker 1: the on the left, a certain cohort of the left.
Speaker 3: I don't know if people are actually below the normal rate,
Speaker 3: though very often I have no idea of that thirty
Speaker 3: year old man below like your normal. Usually it's just
Speaker 3: we're at the very low end of normal compared to
Speaker 3: where we used to be. Anyway, Then there was a
Speaker 3: conversation about, well, the premise of this is you up
Speaker 3: their testosterone for a variety of reasons that would make
Speaker 3: you a better soldier. But the crowd out there is
Speaker 3: claiming that giving a a woman testosterone would not help
Speaker 3: her ability to perform in sports.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh you can't. Well both can't be true.
Speaker 1: No, no, well they have no argument that their arguments
Speaker 1: are stupid. They rely on poor quasi, you know, moral
Speaker 1: stretchings of the truth. That reminds me there's a video
Speaker 1: going around as some troubled quote unquote transgender person and
Speaker 1: so obviously a troubled young person with mental problems, maybe autistic.
Speaker 1: Oh I I can't even start talking about it because
Speaker 1: it's so sad.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't hate these people. I pity them.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for them. They're unhappy, they're I alienated
Speaker 1: their pardon.
Speaker 2: Some of them I hate, But a lot of them
Speaker 2: I don't. The ones I'm thinking of, I don't hate.
Speaker 2: The other ones I hate. Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: They're the victims of this, absolutely, Oh yeah, absolutely, that crowd.
Speaker 1: They're lonely, they're sad, they wish they could be happy,
Speaker 1: and somebody offers them a path to happiness. They leap
Speaker 1: at it because they're so desperate, and then they're exploited
Speaker 1: and they're disfigured, poisoned with chemicals. I just, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I hate it. Sorry, I'm bringing everybody down.
Speaker 2: That's what I do.
Speaker 3: The test I'm going to get if I go to
Speaker 3: the NT and they accept me August to tour a test.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, gustatory testing. You've had gustatory testing. No, that's
Speaker 2: just the root of the several words that have to
Speaker 2: do with taste.
Speaker 3: Okay, gustatory checking for my chemosensory loss, that's exactly it.
Speaker 3: Bad smells smell really really bad to me. I don't
Speaker 3: know how they if they'll test that, or how they
Speaker 3: would test that.
Speaker 2: I got a couple ideas new Oh boy.
Speaker 3: Like bo on a human it's just one hundred times
Speaker 3: worse than it was pre whatever happened to me through COVID.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it took me a while to figure that out.
Speaker 3: My kids as they were becoming teenagers, like, good god,
Speaker 3: what is wrong with you?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 2: I have you showered? You have showered? Of the anything.
Speaker 3: It's just you know, just minor teenage boy sort of thing.
Speaker 3: But for me, it's just ah and like so if
Speaker 3: your uber drivers a little stag, oh, it's horrifying.
Speaker 2: For me. It's really really difficult. Bathrooms wet dog.
Speaker 3: You know, any of your unpleasant smells you can think
Speaker 3: of are so much worse for me now than they
Speaker 3: were previous. That one I care about. I don't care
Speaker 3: so much about the fact that I can't taste sugar.
Speaker 3: The one that bad smells are so bad. I'ven't been
Speaker 3: around people that like you know, I like, and would
Speaker 3: you know like to be around uh? And I just
Speaker 3: everything all smells are so strong for me.
Speaker 2: Aggressive scent, that's right, that's no good.
Speaker 3: That's no good.
Speaker 2: No, it's Is there anything they can do it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: My doctor said, when I said, can you get me tested?
Speaker 3: He said, I can get you tested. I'll said, Jenny
Speaker 3: and t he said, insurance will cover it. But he
Speaker 3: said I haven't seen hardly any success in helping with anybody.
Speaker 3: And I said, oh, I'm not really expecting to get helped.
Speaker 3: I just want to know, you know, what I can
Speaker 3: and can't taste, what I can and can't smell. But no,
Speaker 3: apparently they can't can't really fix it. Freaking doctor fauci. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: just a normal cold, just a normal coronavirus that took
Speaker 3: people's sense of taste and smell away.
Speaker 1: And god knows what else neurologically. Yeah, we'll find that
Speaker 1: out in ten years. You want to function gained. If
Speaker 1: you want a good novel virus built in the lab
Speaker 1: called doctor Fauci, you'll help you out.
Speaker 2: He's the best. I'll tell you. One thing I can
Speaker 2: smell is the finish line, and we're near it. We'll
Speaker 2: finish strong next, arm Strong and yetti.
Speaker 9: Look, if I had Daddy's money, I would own it. Okay,
Speaker 9: I would let you guys know, this man has not
Speaker 9: given me a dime in over four years. I have
Speaker 9: been fully financially supporting myself since I was eighteen years old.
Speaker 9: And I found out that he bought my sister a
Speaker 9: car in cash. Okay, so I asked him if he
Speaker 9: could buy me a horse for the same praise. And
Speaker 9: that was the last time we spoke. And that was
Speaker 9: like a couple of weeks ago. So if that doesn't
Speaker 9: put into person, If that my father doesn't help me
Speaker 9: with anything, I don't know it does. So, yeah, my
Speaker 9: dad did not give me the beach holes.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well maybe he didn't give any money because you're
Speaker 3: an idiot.
Speaker 2: A car is a way better way to get around
Speaker 2: than a horse faster.
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's a lot there. That is Sammy Sheen, the
Speaker 1: OnlyFans model daughter of Charlie Sheen, explaining that her famous,
Speaker 1: horn addicted, hormonger crackhead dad didn't buy her oscar. That's
Speaker 1: a good point. Gifted actor did not get her her
Speaker 1: beach house. Her breast is did on only fans, So
Speaker 1: she is bravely self reliant.
Speaker 3: Now is she the daughter of what's her name? The
Speaker 3: famous actress? The haughty actress?
Speaker 2: Is that Miss Ireland? Denise Richards was not? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're both subtractive. Is that the daughter of Denise Richards?
Speaker 9: Do you know?
Speaker 3: I do not all the of Charlie Sheen? Okay, well,
Speaker 3: Denise Richards is also wealthy and famous. Son't worry.
Speaker 1: I'm just that was practically art, the defiant self reliance
Speaker 1: of a porn girl who wants a horse and wants
Speaker 1: everybody to know. She wasn't giving her beach house. She
Speaker 1: got it by showing her tatas.
Speaker 2: That's like art. But why did their sister get a car?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Favoritism? I have no idea.
Speaker 1: God, if a novelist wrote that character, I'd think, man,
Speaker 1: you're really you're a good writer.
Speaker 3: Oh hell, I'll bet there's a lot to that story.
Speaker 2: On all ends. Oh yeah, Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't want reality shows, but there needs to be
Speaker 1: one another one. Has there been one? With his Charlie
Speaker 1: and his progeny. He doesn't need the money, No, he
Speaker 1: does not. Oh my god, it's an attractive lass. Not surprisingly,
Speaker 1: I have not seen her. Are we out of time yet?
Speaker 2: Michael, Yeah, we are out of time. I don't hear
Speaker 2: any music.
Speaker 1: I was gonna spile. I was gonna say, speaking of
Speaker 1: a family. We could do the two men who were
Speaker 1: switched at birth.
Speaker 2: Shocking story, but I want to do that story tomorrow.
Speaker 2: No time for that. That's a good one.
Speaker 6: Check you, Clark, kiss time stop.
Speaker 4: Jack and Joe lived go And if they don't give
Speaker 4: Canville bebacks.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow, they're Sue in the hospital. That's a heck of
Speaker 3: a story. Yeah, we'll do that tomorrow. Here's your host
Speaker 3: for final thoughts, Joe getting.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a final talk from everybody on
Speaker 1: the CRUD to wrap things up for the day.
Speaker 2: Michaelangelo, lead the way, would you please.
Speaker 4: I have discovered I can't read books anymore. If I
Speaker 4: do read, it has to be off a computer screen
Speaker 4: or an iPad or a tablet, which is just sorry.
Speaker 4: But for some reason I can no longer read off books.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll use my final thought for why why can't you?
Speaker 3: What do you find limiting?
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's just a slowness of turning the page as opposed
Speaker 4: to being able to scroll. You know.
Speaker 2: Well that's interesting.
Speaker 3: I don't read books just mostly because I'm old and
Speaker 3: the print's too small. It's just a why strain at
Speaker 3: a book when I can read it much bigger.
Speaker 1: My favorite, my final thought rather is that if you
Speaker 1: have one hundred thousand people being good, decent, kind, friendly
Speaker 1: Americans and two being rotten, the news will be dominated
Speaker 1: dominated by the rotten people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just the way news works.
Speaker 1: I'll lead up to saying I hope everybody had a
Speaker 1: great time who came to America for the World Cup.
Speaker 1: It's great to have you, welcome, Hope you had fun,
Speaker 1: have a pleasant journey back. We're actually really nice people.
Speaker 3: And those Swedes at the bar in Vegas that I met,
Speaker 3: they were definitely happy.
Speaker 2: I love effing country. Oh it is so nice. Had
Speaker 2: their arms around me.
Speaker 1: And someday maybe I can go to Swedeserland, where are
Speaker 1: you You're from Swedes, are from Switzerland?
Speaker 9: Right? No?
Speaker 2: Eh. If we have a war with you, we'll learn
Speaker 2: your geography.
Speaker 3: Trump said yesterday that the World Cup is one of
Speaker 3: the best advertisements for the United States ever, and I
Speaker 3: think he's one hundred percent rioting.
