Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty, I know he Armstrong and Getty. I.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Trump just signed executive orders renaming the Gulf of
Speaker 4: Mexico to the Gulf of America and changing Denali back
Speaker 4: to Mount McKinley. Yeah, he's serious about renaming things, and
Speaker 4: he's not done there. Check out some of these other orders.
Speaker 4: First up, he's changing San Antonio to Saint TONI. Next up,
Speaker 4: he's making the Rocky Mountains the Sylvester Stallone Mountains. Here's
Speaker 4: another one that he had, the US Virgin Islands. Now
Speaker 4: they're the Mike Pennce Islands.
Speaker 2: Next up, he's.
Speaker 4: Renaming Burger King and Dairy Queen to Burger President and
Speaker 4: Dairy First Lady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: Everybody laughs at the Gulf of America thing. I laughed
Speaker 1: first time I heard it, even though I think it's
Speaker 1: a great idea.
Speaker 2: Why why wouldn't we do that?
Speaker 1: It's just so obviously I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: I like this map, funny though, Like this map you
Speaker 1: send us all Katie where it's got the whole world
Speaker 1: renamed America. Classic is US obviously, then above US gay
Speaker 1: North Dakota, the below US America's pants, and it goes
Speaker 1: from there up Alaska's McKinley's Happy Finland, I like the
Speaker 1: other America, Ocean of America. They're all the ocean of
Speaker 1: America exactly, and then England bad teeth America.
Speaker 2: Ah boy.
Speaker 5: So a semi comprehensive list of the important executive orders
Speaker 5: thus far in just a moment or two, came across
Speaker 5: this Wall Street Journal poll that they just put out
Speaker 5: that I found very interesting, What do voters actually want
Speaker 5: from Trump? And they described the answer as mega light,
Speaker 5: which I think is a fairly accurate description. Fifty three
Speaker 5: percent want Trump to make significant changes in how government
Speaker 5: is run. Let's see, and it's some of the stuff
Speaker 5: people don't.
Speaker 2: Know what they like, but they like what they know.
Speaker 5: Some of these negativish responses I think boiled down to, well,
Speaker 5: you're going to make the case for people because they've
Speaker 5: not heard the case made, certainly through a lot of
Speaker 5: bigfoot media. For instance, sixty percent oppose replacing thousands of
Speaker 5: career civil service workers with people chosen by the president.
Speaker 2: Well, it depends who you're talking about.
Speaker 5: Why more than sixty percent also oppose eliminating the education Department.
Speaker 5: Let's make the case to them. That's fine, I'm not
Speaker 5: that doesn't decide anything. They've never heard.
Speaker 2: That case made.
Speaker 5: Those of us who exist on right leaning media or whatever,
Speaker 5: we're pretty well versed in this stuff.
Speaker 2: Right. Most of America has never even heard of it.
Speaker 1: Sure, how many people think that doing away with the
Speaker 1: federal Department of Education would mean your school would shut down?
Speaker 2: That's probably what most people think, right, Or.
Speaker 5: It would have no funding or something like that. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: It's a bit of a paradox or a conundrum or
Speaker 5: a it's good for the goose.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Ah, but there's a good forty percent of the country
Speaker 5: I would guess that has been in a media bubble
Speaker 5: run by like three percent of the country. The ideology
Speaker 5: of that tiny percent percentage of people that run the
Speaker 5: mainstream media have convinced forty percent of the country everybody
Speaker 5: thinks like this when they don't not at all anyway.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it would be interesting if you could run
Speaker 1: an experiment where the majority of the media, for instance,
Speaker 1: was constantly talking about the advantages of doing away with
Speaker 1: the Department of Federal Department of Education, and where people
Speaker 1: would be on that issue if that's but they were
Speaker 1: getting from the CBS, Evening News and NPR and everything
Speaker 1: on a regular basis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I get that. Again, the case has to
Speaker 5: be made to those people. We need to move some
Speaker 5: hearts and minds. But there were times that I felt
Speaker 5: like in the write up of this poll, they were saying, oh,
Speaker 5: look at these percentages, therefore Trump should not do it,
Speaker 5: and I disagree completely. The poll finds voters want Trump
Speaker 5: to build the wall along the border with Mexico. Yeah,
Speaker 5: nearly seventy five percent say only those with criminal records
Speaker 5: should be removed from the country. Seventy percent say longtime residents,
Speaker 5: law abiding they can hang around. Now that the election's
Speaker 5: been held. And we talked about this before it when
Speaker 5: huge numbers said ship everybody out, everybody out. That was
Speaker 5: a reaction to we're trying to get the government's attention.
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. I think post election people.
Speaker 2: Are much more moderate on it. Let's see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's a long way off though. I mean,
Speaker 1: because this this whole getting rid of the six hundred
Speaker 1: thousand known illegals that have criminal records.
Speaker 2: That's going to be quite the process.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then you get to the what was
Speaker 1: the New York Times number, It was well over two
Speaker 1: thirds that want every illegal who came in the last
Speaker 1: four years booted out. That'd be recent arrivals, very popular.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you could go to that to the
Speaker 1: next level. So it'd be a long time before you'd
Speaker 1: get to people who have been here for twenty years
Speaker 1: more in the grass.
Speaker 5: And you know, yeah, I don't think I don't think
Speaker 5: there's any any will to do that, honestly. Now, Finally,
Speaker 5: Biden leaves office with a thirty percent approval thirty six
Speaker 5: percent approval, sixty two percent disapproval, lowest ever by an
Speaker 5: almost identical gap of thirty six to sixty. Voters view
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party more unfavorably than favorably. That's the lowest
Speaker 5: ratings going back to nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2: Good got him.
Speaker 1: Looking up at the TVs and of course their lead
Speaker 1: story everywhere. Still the January sixth pardoning of the most
Speaker 1: violent people, and we're learning today that that decision was
Speaker 1: made by Trump like in the last minute. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: he hadn't done that, think of the moral high ground.
Speaker 1: We he would have over Biden for pardoning his whole family.
Speaker 1: But because Biden pardoned his whole family and Trump did this,
Speaker 1: it kind of got, you know, all washed out.
Speaker 5: And with that moral high ground, also momentum, just just
Speaker 5: the popular will to enact his agenda. It was a
Speaker 5: terrible misstep.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'll tell you what's the danger, and then I'll
Speaker 2: shut up about this topic. Go ahead.
Speaker 1: The danger is like that oathkeeper guy with the eye patch, yeah,
Speaker 1: who his ex wife is out doing interview saying he's
Speaker 1: a very dangerous man. So, and some of these people
Speaker 1: who wouldn't have been able to buy a gun now
Speaker 1: can buy a gun again, I guess because they're no
Speaker 1: longer felons. I didn't realize that. But if one of
Speaker 1: these guys goes out and commits some sort of crime
Speaker 1: in the name of politics, wooh, that's gonna be quite
Speaker 1: the story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again it's going to halt the good stuff, yes,
Speaker 5: interfere with doing the good stuff. That's you know, I
Speaker 5: have a moral objection to what he did. I also
Speaker 5: have just a practioner objection. Yeah. So plunging ahead, a
Speaker 5: list of Trump's key executive orders so far, and most
Speaker 5: of them are absolutely fantastic. Ending birthright citizenship. This one's
Speaker 5: already in the courts, will be in the courts. Of course,
Speaker 5: it was going to be in the courts. Interpreting the
Speaker 5: fourteenth Amendment has long been a conflict. So that's fine,
Speaker 5: that's exactly what should happen, at least now we're talking
Speaker 5: about it. January sixth, Pardons, we've discussed that already fair amount.
Speaker 5: Halting federal government DEI programs. Could not love this more.
Speaker 5: It's fantastic. It's just it is spraying round up on
Speaker 5: the noxious choking weed of neo Marxism in our government.
Speaker 5: It was horrible how far it went, and it's great
Speaker 5: that he's halting it. It's the again, just the beginning
Speaker 5: of the battle because it is absolutely lousy in our
Speaker 5: schools and universities, although we're going to work on that
Speaker 5: through the Department of Education, which still exists.
Speaker 2: More on that to come in day's ahead.
Speaker 5: Gender identity the President Institute of Policy recognizing individuals biological
Speaker 5: sex rather than their quote unquote express gender identity, which
Speaker 5: ought to be in quotes in this article because it's.
Speaker 2: A made up, radical fury term.
Speaker 5: Going forward, it will be quote the official policy of
Speaker 5: the United States government that there are only two genders,
Speaker 5: male and female. Use the term sex that way and
Speaker 5: eliminates the confusion overwhelming whin. It got to huge applause
Speaker 5: when he announced that the other day. Such a crazy one,
Speaker 5: such an easy one. I mean, you're picking the ripest
Speaker 5: fruit of Everybody agrees with you, and the freaking Democrats
Speaker 5: couldn't do it. Yeah, I know, I know they're beholding
Speaker 5: to their radical twitter left. Trade and tariffs. Trump said
Speaker 5: he's aiming to place twenty five percent tariffs on Canada
Speaker 5: and Mexican goods, renegotiating all sorts of stuff. That's always
Speaker 5: his opening gam But you know, the business press and
Speaker 5: free marketeers are making a big deal over the tariffs.
Speaker 5: I say, you know, just let the negotiations go forward.
Speaker 1: See fine, you're soft on the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
Speaker 1: I think maple syrup's going to be eighty dollars. A
Speaker 1: bottle in a sombrero will cost you five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: I drink my syrup out of an American factory. No
Speaker 1: maple ever comes anywhere near it. All right, pausing the
Speaker 1: TikTok ban. This is illegal, This is overstepping his bounds.
Speaker 1: It is to me abuse of the executive authority.
Speaker 2: It will not stand. It's a mistake.
Speaker 1: And news today that mister beast is looking into trying
Speaker 1: to buy TikTok, which he's actually got to have to do.
Speaker 1: Certainly the gravitas as understanding social media.
Speaker 5: Indeed, that's an intriguing move, but again something duly passed
Speaker 5: by the United States Congress. I don't want to give
Speaker 5: this president the ability to just suspend the laws he
Speaker 5: doesn't like, because I don't want the next guy to
Speaker 5: have that power. It's pretty simple, moving along withdrawing from
Speaker 5: the Paris Climate Accord. Perfect, wonderful, hallelujah, Touch him all,
Speaker 5: mister President's.
Speaker 2: Home run and give me a break.
Speaker 5: Phony bunch of jet setting bureaucrats getting together signing the
Speaker 5: cords that none of them have any intention of living
Speaker 5: right to. Oh my god, it's for signing it right.
Speaker 5: Declaring a national energy emergency, this one's complicated and interesting.
Speaker 5: A drill, baby drill. In short, I'm just not worried
Speaker 5: about it. Will We'll deal with any issues that come
Speaker 5: up as they come up. With drawing from the who
Speaker 5: the world Health Organization. Hallelujah again, back to backhau Brons,
Speaker 5: the lying puppet of China, UN Agency, the World Health Organization.
Speaker 2: They're corrupt as can be.
Speaker 5: You know, it reminds me a little bit of NATO,
Speaker 5: although we can't withdraw from NATO. It needs so much
Speaker 5: reform the WHO to be worth a damn send it
Speaker 5: a shock it into uh.
Speaker 1: Compliance with reasonableness. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2: You're anti getting out of the World Health Organization. No,
Speaker 2: I'm pro. I'm one hundred percent from pro. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: not I I'm pro getting out of it too.
Speaker 1: Just the argument from even people on the right is yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to rehabit from within, and the only way
Speaker 1: you can do that is be part of it. I
Speaker 1: just think it's so beyond redemption. Uh that could be.
Speaker 1: I don't actually know that.
Speaker 5: I just think quote unquote, withdrawing from it for a
Speaker 5: while will shock it into Well, we're form.
Speaker 1: I've got the stats. We're by far the number one
Speaker 1: financial supporter of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was just going to bring that up.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, they will come crawling to our door saying,
Speaker 5: tell us what reforms you want, and we'll do them today.
Speaker 5: Here's one reform next time there's a pandemic, be honest
Speaker 5: about where it came from. Think you could do that
Speaker 5: if we have the worst You see, you're all about health.
Speaker 5: If we have the worst health crisis in one hundred years,
Speaker 5: how about you be at least somewhat honest about it
Speaker 5: from the beginning.
Speaker 1: Let's start and not lick the boots of your Chinese overlords.
Speaker 2: Coming up in a moment, the final few of the.
Speaker 5: Executive orders, including one of my favorites, love it and
Speaker 5: the news of the day.
Speaker 2: Of course, if you can stick around.
Speaker 1: And the direction we're going as a species in terms
Speaker 1: of mating, it ain't the right direction if we want
Speaker 1: to continue to be around. I almost forgot a message
Speaker 1: from our friends that simply save home security protecting your
Speaker 1: stuff is so important and simply safe as incredible technology
Speaker 1: to look at for you. This a I aided human
Speaker 1: monitoring that if some scumbag is around your house, they

Speaker 1: Boy Trump just said something not e can optimistic about
Speaker 1: the sea spire.
Speaker 2: But we get a lot on the way, stay here,
Speaker 2: arm Strong.
Speaker 1: Tamed financier Jamie Diamond says, the stock market is over inflated. Joe,
Speaker 1: of course it is, and there's gonna be a crection
Speaker 1: at some point. Of course we'll get blamed for it
Speaker 1: no matter what. But anyway, we're else going to talk
Speaker 1: about people not having sex anymore for whatever reason. In
Speaker 1: this graph around it at different ages, it's really interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh that's on the way and as the NFL playoffs
Speaker 1: roar along, I give you the mayor of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: Now g S Big, let's go birds. Can we hear
Speaker 2: that again?
Speaker 1: He now gyes, I couldn't follow all that.
Speaker 5: L Is the mayor of Philadelphia, who, according to her bio,
Speaker 5: was briefly an English teacher in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: L I'll bet it was brief el e l G.
Speaker 4: L S s L.
Speaker 2: One more time, A now G.
Speaker 6: S big.
Speaker 5: E L G S E S Elgis says that's the
Speaker 5: freaking mayor.
Speaker 2: Of a one party town. Oh my god.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you like left out the A and
Speaker 5: then E lgs E S.
Speaker 1: At least they are all letters that appear in the word.
Speaker 1: She didn't throw in a priqu wow wow loewish barb.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: So we're summer summing up President Trump's early executive orders
Speaker 5: and commands and that sort of thing. He is ordering
Speaker 5: the Attorney General to review the work of all law
Speaker 5: enforcement agencies to determine whether any of their moves over
Speaker 5: the past four years constituted a weaponization of the federal government.
Speaker 5: I'd like to know more details about it. It's absolutely
Speaker 5: a worthy goal. It's a little vague you're gonna have
Speaker 5: bureaucrats investing bureaucrats. But there's no question that the Justice
Speaker 5: Department in the FBI at headquarters got very polit in
Speaker 5: a way that should not be acceptable. So good for
Speaker 5: the President empowering DOGE. Go get them, love it, love it.
Speaker 1: Helana has Elon has an office in the White House.
Speaker 1: Lots of lawsuits have been filed against DOGE already saying
Speaker 1: they don't have any right to do the things they
Speaker 1: want to do. Vivek is gone from DOGE if you
Speaker 1: haven't heard that. The claims are that there was friction
Speaker 1: between him, him and Elon, although the other claim is
Speaker 1: he's going to run for governor Ohio and that's going
Speaker 1: to be a full time job, so right right.
Speaker 5: The main gripe against DOGE is that if it is
Speaker 5: a government agency, occupies space and government buildings the rest
Speaker 5: of it, it's subject to certain transparency laws that they
Speaker 5: haven't done yet, because we all know how transparent the
Speaker 5: Biden administration was. Anyway, that's the that's the issue.
Speaker 1: The work on it, and keep in mind, everybody who's
Speaker 1: going to push back at DOGE is because they don't
Speaker 1: want any agencies cut or removed they want their money,
Speaker 1: their power, and their turf protected period. End of innovation,
Speaker 1: and finally renaming landmarks, the president renaming the Gulf of
Speaker 1: Mexico and Denali, etcetera.
Speaker 2: Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America. I
Speaker 2: like the name Denali. It's a cool name.
Speaker 1: If I drive a GMC Denali, is it now a
Speaker 1: GMC McKinley, Yes, it is by presidential order.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have any problem with Denali.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what it was called for for many,
Speaker 5: many generations by the native people who live there.
Speaker 2: What did McKinley do He bought the state or.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't don't. It's not like he discovered it
Speaker 5: or anything. I don't care about McKinley either way, honestly.
Speaker 5: But the Gulf of America, it's our golf.
Speaker 2: Get out of it? Is it? The porn? Is it?
Speaker 2: The low t is it microplastics? Is it?
Speaker 1: Cell phone towers? Why ain't people having sex like they
Speaker 1: used to? Jet contrails?
Speaker 2: Hank.
Speaker 1: Actually, the latest numbers on sex for young people came
Speaker 1: out yesterday and it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: Among other things, we get.
Speaker 1: Contruists, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 6: According to a new federal study drinking just one alcoholic.
Speaker 4: Beverage a day could raise health risks, so make sure
Speaker 4: to have at least two.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: New York Times wine columnist commenting on that study had
Speaker 1: some interesting things to say.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later.
Speaker 1: About related around dry January and drinking. Probably driven to
Speaker 1: talk about drinking.
Speaker 5: No the government order or government to declaration that Seth
Speaker 5: was talking about there.
Speaker 1: How does anybody pay any attention to what any government
Speaker 1: agency says about health? After COVID I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't even look at it.
Speaker 5: Well, then after our entire ut, we Generation X load
Speaker 5: up on carbs, lots of carbs and sugar, just for
Speaker 5: God's sakes, to clear protein.
Speaker 1: No fat either.
Speaker 2: Fats just carve up everybody.
Speaker 1: By the way, the scale was unbelievably cruel to me
Speaker 1: this morning.
Speaker 2: Like what did I ever do to you? Well, you
Speaker 2: gotta be so mean. Get off me.
Speaker 1: You're hurting me, it said, sadly sexless. Second, let me
Speaker 1: try it again, you two. This is like Joe Biden
Speaker 1: the other day when he's gonna have his big It's
Speaker 1: like the great poet said, dare.
Speaker 2: Do we have that? Michael?
Speaker 3: You made it right, mods ritting along lot.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, let me try it again. Sexlessness, it's not
Speaker 1: an easy word to say. Sexlessness is rising by every
Speaker 1: measure among young people going back to nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: which is a handy number for like Joe and I
Speaker 1: because that's when we were like, you know, high school,
Speaker 1: had been to college, so we have some idea of
Speaker 1: what things were like at that period. And the ground
Speaker 1: half on this is young people in particular, so you
Speaker 1: got to think about that. This is people ages twenty
Speaker 1: two to thirty four, twenty two to thirty four, so
Speaker 1: I like it starts at twenty.
Speaker 2: Two, your past teenage years.
Speaker 1: You're on into I mean, you're in your you know,
Speaker 1: you're twenty two, all right, you don't need to be
Speaker 1: having sex at nineteen. By twenty two, If you're not
Speaker 1: having sex at all, it's a little odd.
Speaker 2: I think what historically it was might not be now.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I would say you're definitely in the when
Speaker 5: is this going to happen?
Speaker 2: Uh category? Right.
Speaker 1: The numbers for and I'm going with the numbers that
Speaker 1: are the most amazing haven't had sex in the last
Speaker 1: three months between the ages of twenty two and thirty four,
Speaker 1: and most of these people are not married, so you
Speaker 1: can't say, well, they're married, they're having kids and all
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Yeah, that's not what's going on
Speaker 1: with most people between twenty two and thirty four. Certainly today,
Speaker 1: it has gone from practically nobody back in the eighties
Speaker 1: who would say they hadn't had sex in the last
Speaker 1: three months to a third now a third of young
Speaker 1: people have not had sex in the last ninety days.
Speaker 5: A species of animal has lost the urge to reproduce.
Speaker 5: That is a biological catastrophe, certainly, a topic so astounding
Speaker 5: it ought to be studied, you know, in every university
Speaker 5: all the time.
Speaker 2: For haven't had sex in the last year?
Speaker 1: Among men, they weren't even asking the question until two
Speaker 1: thousand and they started asking women early, which is a
Speaker 1: bit of a Victorian age misogynist I think view of
Speaker 1: things that they didn't even ask men, that they just assumed.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what the theory was
Speaker 1: behind that. For who is the polling organization on this,
Speaker 1: the NSFG whenever they are, but AnyWho haven't had sex
Speaker 1: in the last year for men, it's gone from a
Speaker 1: about ten percent around two thousand to about twenty five
Speaker 1: percent now two and a half times, dounding in a
Speaker 1: couple of decades of haven't had sex in the last
Speaker 1: year as a man between the age of twenty two
Speaker 1: and thirty four. Things are getting weird, and they're getting
Speaker 1: weird fast. So obviously you got to jump in with
Speaker 1: the why do you think that is? It's a very
Speaker 1: steep graph too, and let me check.
Speaker 2: Coincides pretty well with smartphones and all that hidden.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's Honestly, if I were pressed for
Speaker 5: my theory number one, you don't have better people to
Speaker 5: go to.
Speaker 2: If the indeed scientists asked me.
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's absolutely a confluence of environmental factors like
Speaker 5: probably microplastics and stuff like that, which have been shown
Speaker 5: to reduce production of certain hormones blah blah.
Speaker 1: And so just to make sure I understand each of
Speaker 1: these you're giving, So that would be you think the
Speaker 1: desire is down? Yes, yeah, drive is not as strong
Speaker 1: for both men and women.
Speaker 2: Are just for men.
Speaker 1: Because we went down for men, it'd go down for everybody.
Speaker 1: You know, It's always been kind of a fair number
Speaker 1: of women who are.
Speaker 2: Like, if you're not pressing me, I'm fine with not tonight.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, yeah, disproportionately among men.
Speaker 2: But so you've got that.
Speaker 5: I think we that's going to take more study and
Speaker 5: it'll be a while before we're confident about that. Obesity
Speaker 5: causes the declient sex drive, and that is well known,
Speaker 5: well known.
Speaker 2: Ubiquity of porn. Yeah, you can't sleep porn out of.
Speaker 5: It, political radicalization of young women, Katie, We're so angry
Speaker 5: all the damn time, Katie.
Speaker 1: Would you like to share a story not hurting anybody's
Speaker 1: feelings from a friend of yours regarding the P word
Speaker 1: or would you rather not?
Speaker 6: Oh no, that's fine, friend of mine, beautiful, beautiful blonde.
Speaker 6: It was dating this guy who is in his mid
Speaker 6: twenties and he could not perform because of his porn addiction.
Speaker 1: You have a crazy hot girlfriend, you're in your mid twenties,
Speaker 1: and you can't get an erection.
Speaker 2: That's and disturbing.
Speaker 6: He actually admitted that, you know, I watch a lot
Speaker 6: of porn and this has been causing a problem for me,
Speaker 6: and I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: It was. It was pretty heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Prior to internet porn, and internet porn is different than
Speaker 1: written porn. I read a lot about this because I
Speaker 1: got two teenage boys. But prior to internet porn, if
Speaker 1: that happened, if you couldn't have sex with a hot
Speaker 1: blonde inner twenties, when you're in your twenties, you you
Speaker 1: got to go to the doctor.
Speaker 5: Something horribly's wrong with you. I'd go to the er today.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't wait till tomorrow. I got no time to
Speaker 5: make an appointment. Yeah, seriously, it's it's it's tragic, and
Speaker 5: we are again. I believe the internet slash ai is
Speaker 5: the fruit of the from the Tree of Knowledge in
Speaker 5: the Book of Jennison.
Speaker 2: Do we need they're gonna kill ourselves? Do we need
Speaker 2: to think about through this for very long?
Speaker 1: If you combine obesity with porn, you might have solved
Speaker 1: the whole thing.
Speaker 5: There are other factors too, I mean, you cannot explain
Speaker 5: a precipitous drop I don't have it in front of
Speaker 5: me of sprum count among young men. I mean, like
Speaker 5: hugely down. But again, there are probably not that I
Speaker 5: think about it, there are probably six or eight main
Speaker 5: factors in this part of it is our utterly comfortable,
Speaker 5: decadent Western world. Danger stimulates testosterone, tests of strength, challenges, uncertainty, conflict,
Speaker 5: making up a game, and forcing the rules, winning at it.
Speaker 5: All of these things stimulate testosterone. We have designed a
Speaker 5: veal Calf like existence for our young men.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right about that. The send your friend my way, Katie.
Speaker 2: I there's a little.
Speaker 1: Snow on the roof, a little literally and feared lead.
Speaker 2: More on that later.
Speaker 5: I got a little gray around the temples. No problem.
Speaker 5: Oh that's right, I'm married. I need to retract that offer.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 2: I was sending you a mess of her number right now, Joe.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: By the time she had her coat off, we would
Speaker 1: be ready to roll as a single guy. That was
Speaker 1: a hard story to hear. As Katie was explaining that
Speaker 1: on our text thread the.
Speaker 2: Other day, it's just like what what come on? Wow?
Speaker 1: And again this graph is not It's not subtle, and
Speaker 1: the steepness of it rises unlike that Hot Chicks boyfriend
Speaker 1: his penis Wow.
Speaker 5: Really inappropriate, funny, very funny, but inappropriate.
Speaker 1: So steeply starting at about twenty fourteen, then it just
Speaker 1: shoots up for the no sex ever, the no sex
Speaker 1: and last year or the no sex. The no sex
Speaker 1: ever is staying relatively flat, So that's not virginity. You know,
Speaker 1: people just never having sex, but the no sex in
Speaker 1: the last year or the last three months just shoots
Speaker 1: up starting in like twenty fourteen, twenty sixteen, And if
Speaker 1: it stays on this path, the trajectory, and there's no
Speaker 1: reason to think it's not going to Where are we
Speaker 1: going to be in a couple of years. If it
Speaker 1: has gone from men who have not had sex in
Speaker 1: the last year, If it's gone from one in ten
Speaker 1: to one in three in the last five years, and
Speaker 1: the line is like practically vertical, where's it going to
Speaker 1: be in a couple of years, It's going to be
Speaker 1: half of men have not had sex in the last year.
Speaker 2: It sure looks like it's going to be. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know why that trend would stop.
Speaker 5: Wow, Here's here's my question, because all of this stuff
Speaker 5: will become utterly impossible to ignore soon, it's almost there. Now,
Speaker 5: does humanity recognize what we're doing to ourselves and a job?
Speaker 5: Or because we're so amused and hypnotized by our devices
Speaker 5: and our porn and the rest of it, putting aside
Speaker 5: the environmental factors for now, which I still think are significant,
Speaker 5: where do we go? I suspect, and I suspect this
Speaker 5: very strongly, and I hope I live long enough to
Speaker 5: see it. There will be something like the Protestant Reawakening
Speaker 5: of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the United States,
Speaker 5: where we went from a not super religious country to
Speaker 5: a much more religious country. I think a whole social
Speaker 5: movement will spring up. That'll be I don't know what
Speaker 5: you want to call it, away from becoming tech addicts,
Speaker 5: getting a little closer to the bone, living life the
Speaker 5: way human beings were intended to, not the way our
Speaker 5: tech overlords profit from.
Speaker 2: We need it. It'll be a religion or a commune
Speaker 2: or something, but it will happen.
Speaker 1: We need an Assusa Street revival of not staring at
Speaker 1: your phone. That's interesting, huh. I wonder if that could
Speaker 1: catch on and spread like wildfire, like you know, the
Speaker 1: Great Reawakening. Did you were talking? I wonder I think
Speaker 1: about this when I'm at the gym. Everybody's got an
Speaker 1: earbud on. It's silent in the gym, nobody's talking. I
Speaker 1: worked out in the gym regularly when I was in
Speaker 1: my twenties. It was constant conversation. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Just mill around in silence and stare at each other. No,
Speaker 1: there'd be a boom box in the corner with music on,
Speaker 1: but everybody talked to each other. Right, the idea of
Speaker 1: just being silent in there, No, there's the gym is
Speaker 1: full of people every day come, not a word spoken.
Speaker 5: There's nothing more heartbreaking than the idea of school lunch
Speaker 5: rooms are silent. The band trips, sports team trips, silent.
Speaker 5: Everybody's got their headphones on, staring straight ahead. That is,
Speaker 5: if King Jong Un had instituted that among his young people,
Speaker 5: we would be just crying out at the cruelty of it.
Speaker 1: It's so easy to get like labeled or looked at,
Speaker 1: or you know, old people talking about kids today they
Speaker 1: always do it. First it was a color television is
Speaker 1: going to ruin your life, and then rock and roll
Speaker 1: or whatever. This is completely different. Oh yeah, because for
Speaker 1: one thing, they're statistics to show people's lives are ruined.
Speaker 2: They aren't having sex.
Speaker 1: They're contemplating suicide at numbers that have never seen before,
Speaker 1: been seen before in humanity.
Speaker 5: That is something simultaneously anxious and depressed.
Speaker 2: But not having sex. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know it'll be interesting when we're doing this
Speaker 1: a few years from now, when the numbers hit fifty
Speaker 1: percent of young people who haven't had sex in the
Speaker 1: last year. The TV show Friends, it's funny it's so
Speaker 1: popular because it was built around hooking up so much.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it has any purchase with young people now.
Speaker 1: It's like, what are they.
Speaker 2: Trying to do? Why?
Speaker 1: It's it's icky, gross or somehow, or you just having
Speaker 1: no desire. I don't even know if you know anything
Speaker 1: about this, maybe you're around young. Our text line is
Speaker 1: four one five nine five KFTC.
Speaker 4: I heard about a tattoo artist who inked his wife
Speaker 4: with rip TikTok twenty sixteen to twenty twenty five before
Speaker 4: finding out the band was lifted. That it's a shame
Speaker 4: because everyone's what otherwise would be a beautiful tattoo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, it's a stupid tattoo anyway, That's what I
Speaker 1: thought when I heard that story.
Speaker 2: We used to refer to the show as a.
Speaker 1: Trip to the human zoo, and that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: it's appropriate even if they hadn't been lifted.
Speaker 2: The band it's a dumb tattoo.
Speaker 1: Every every single aspect of that story. It just radiates
Speaker 1: with dumbness. Hey, the Trump administration announced yesterday a half
Speaker 1: trillion dollar investment in AI, the modern space race they're
Speaker 1: calling it. We'll talk about that more an hour three.
Speaker 1: That's a good moniker for it. I like that, all right.
Speaker 1: So a couple of things real quick. When I'm not
Speaker 1: in California, as I mentioned I think last year, I'm
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. I happened to be in South Carolina
Speaker 1: right now and it snowed like crazy all over the southeast,
Speaker 1: like six inches of snow, which is fine.
Speaker 2: I grew up in Chicago's time it change. Joha ho boy.
Speaker 5: Okay, the great argument because there's no argument against it anyway.
Speaker 2: So it's fine.
Speaker 5: Although nobody's going to go anywhere for days, which is
Speaker 5: kind of fun. But my dog is so freaked out.
Speaker 5: We used to take him to the mountains all the time,
Speaker 5: up in the snow and he loved it. But he's forgotten.
Speaker 5: I guess I don't know how dog's memories work. But
Speaker 5: I almost couldn't get him out of the garage this
Speaker 5: morning cause he's like.
Speaker 2: Dude, what happened?
Speaker 1: We can't go out there?
Speaker 5: And I got him out of the garage and he's
Speaker 5: mincing around and turning.
Speaker 2: He wants to go back inside. He looks up at me.
Speaker 5: I'm saying, buddy, it's okay, it's okay. He's saying, what
Speaker 5: do you mean it's okay? Our environment has changed fundamentally
Speaker 5: and hostily. Have you not noticed, you idiot? But it's
Speaker 5: pretty But oh my god, the South is going to
Speaker 5: be paralyzed for days.
Speaker 2: Are flights canceled and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 5: I don't know that nobody can nobody can go anywhere
Speaker 5: because there is not a working snowplow within three hundred
Speaker 5: and seventy five miles of South Carolina. No, everybody's just
Speaker 5: gonna stay home, which is fine.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: Anyway, So Trump went to the prayer service, which is
Speaker 5: a tradition at the Episcopal Church in DC, right near
Speaker 5: the White House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that where where every president is gone,
Speaker 1: like since since eighteen twenty or something, I mean, going
Speaker 1: way way back.
Speaker 5: And I was about to say, and it's it's so
Speaker 5: silly in a way, and that Trump is clearly an atheist.
Speaker 5: But I don't know post assassination attempt, I have no
Speaker 5: idea what his beliefs are or how he sees the universe.
Speaker 5: And I will not pretend to know from Afar. I'll
Speaker 5: bet it's changed anyway. So he goes there to the
Speaker 5: Episcopal service.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. We got to report on this that
Speaker 2: you got it, Michael, Yeah, hit it.
Speaker 5: President Trump and Vice President Dance attended a prayer service
Speaker 5: this morning and wound up getting an earfull from the reverend.
Speaker 1: There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican
Speaker 1: and independent families.
Speaker 2: There are some who fear for their lives. Not too excited.
Speaker 4: I didn't think it was a good service.
Speaker 1: Then the Episcopalians, if you don't know, it's basically the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church without the women can't be priests, and a
Speaker 1: lot more pro gay, but like way down the road
Speaker 1: toward in a lot of depending on where you live,
Speaker 1: down the road toward wokeness. It's like a wolf Catholic church.
Speaker 1: They're very progressive. Yeah, and trafficking in the whole. Trans
Speaker 1: children will die if you don't affirm their cheak and break.
Speaker 1: I don't had to stand up and leave. Hey, with
Speaker 1: all due respect, sorry, Jesus, I still I'm a believer.
Speaker 2: That's crap. That is just crap. It's statistically proven.
Speaker 5: I'm out well, and then she droned on about having
Speaker 5: mercy on immigrant families who children feared that their parents
Speaker 5: will be taken away. She said, mentioned the president lectured
Speaker 5: him from the pulpit there in the first three.
Speaker 2: Percent of Americans agree with me.
Speaker 5: So whatever, Well, Trump wrote in a so what was
Speaker 5: he writing a note?
Speaker 2: So freaking out a line?
Speaker 5: He Trump wrote, she failed to mention the large number
Speaker 5: of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people,
Speaker 5: Trump wrote, And then he goes in and many were
Speaker 5: deposited from jails and mental institutions, giant crime wave.
Speaker 1: How about you just get up there, quote Jesus a
Speaker 1: couple of times. We'll pray, we'll call it good. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll be thankful for what we got, to give our
Speaker 1: thanks to God, and get out. I don't need the
Speaker 1: political lecture, Lady.
Speaker 5: Well write in the idea that my beliefs should be
Speaker 5: enforced at the point of the government's guns because that's
Speaker 5: what Jesus wanted. Is such a perversion of the Gospels.
Speaker 5: I can't even.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, dang it, that's maddening. I don't know how
Speaker 1: he sat there and took it. Armstrong and Getty
