WEBVTT - Sarcasm & Slurs 0:00:02.500 --> 0:00:06.319 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.350 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:08.369 --> 0:00:10.590 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.789 --> 0:00:27.080 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. Some 0:00:27.100 --> 0:00:27.860 business news. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:34.580 KFC just announced a new meal bucket for less than $ 4. 0:00:32.690 --> 0:00:35.710 It's just the bucket, but still a good deal. 0:00:35.729 --> 0:00:39.260 It's a decent bucket. Yeah, you know, I was thinking, 0:00:39.659 --> 0:00:44.590 when does shrinkflation end? Because it's so damned annoying. Okay, 0:00:44.670 --> 0:00:47.160 I get why it happened in the beginning. You make 0:00:47.170 --> 0:00:50.040 the packages a little smaller so that you don't have 0:00:50.060 --> 0:00:52.120 to raise the price as much because we're getting sticker shock, 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.760 all that. But now it's just so damned annoying that 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.660 I got to buy six boxes of whatever cereal I'm 0:00:58.700 --> 0:01:02.820 buying to have the equivalent of a box. It's just... 0:01:04.180 --> 0:01:05.840 The price is going to be the same. I've caught 0:01:05.940 --> 0:01:09.940 on to that after six years of inflation. And it's just, 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.900 you buy a box of cereal, seriously, and there's lots 0:01:12.940 --> 0:01:15.940 of examples. The cottage cheese container I bought the other day, 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.410 what is this, a spoonful of cottage cheese? 0:01:19.010 --> 0:01:19.590 Right, right. 0:01:19.910 --> 0:01:22.069 You wish there was like, I don't know, a government 0:01:22.110 --> 0:01:25.750 program or something where all the consumers could say to, say, 0:01:25.770 --> 0:01:27.230 you know, the Kellogg company. 0:01:27.910 --> 0:01:29.030 All right, dudes, we get it. 0:01:29.030 --> 0:01:29.789 We get it. 0:01:30.110 --> 0:01:33.600 Prices have gone up. Don't make me buy six boxes 0:01:33.740 --> 0:01:35.640 of practically empty. 0:01:35.620 --> 0:01:37.520 Of cereal to squeeze out a couple of bowls. 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.660 Just sell me the regular box at whatever price you're 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:41.380 selling it for. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.180 These days, all right? 0:01:42.980 --> 0:01:46.399 It's amazing how many empty boxes, these tiny little empty boxes, 0:01:46.459 --> 0:01:48.120 and then all the plastic things you got to throw 0:01:48.140 --> 0:01:51.230 away and everything like that. You can literally get like 0:01:51.310 --> 0:01:53.970 two bowls out of a box and it's empty. But 0:01:54.430 --> 0:01:56.610 all of the products are that way. But I just wondered, 0:01:56.790 --> 0:01:59.190 will shrinkflation go away over time? It has to, right? 0:01:59.410 --> 0:02:07.020 Because it just doesn't make sense. Mentioned earlier that Russia 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.820 hit Ukraine cities hard last night, killed a whole bunch 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:16.830 of people, civilians. And it's the new super fast missile 0:02:16.870 --> 0:02:19.829 drone thingies they got to shoot at Ukraine. And Ukraine 0:02:19.870 --> 0:02:23.090 doesn't have the defenses for it. They're just basically Zelensky 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.140 warned in the morning. Our intelligence shows there's a major 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.460 attack coming tonight. So they knew it was coming and 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.459 they couldn't do anything about it. It just hit bunches 0:02:31.540 --> 0:02:35.380 of regular buildings, apartment buildings and whatever around Ukraine, killing 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.860 a whole bunch of people. That's a depressing development. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.380 They've actually taken back land in the Donbass, but they're 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.950 up against a homicidal egomaniac in Putin. So he's just 0:02:45.970 --> 0:02:47.169 going to kill them to punish them. 0:02:47.270 --> 0:02:49.090 Yeah, who doesn't care how many of his own people 0:02:49.210 --> 0:02:53.610 he kills in the process of gaining nothing? Wanted to 0:02:53.650 --> 0:02:58.760 do this story. I had never heard of my glymphatic 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.260 system in my brain. Not the lymphatic system, but your 0:03:02.300 --> 0:03:05.209 glymphatic system. That is, in your brain, it gets all 0:03:05.230 --> 0:03:07.130 gooped up with stuff all the time. They're just learning this. 0:03:07.710 --> 0:03:09.910 As you get older, particularly. And then it can lead 0:03:09.950 --> 0:03:11.960 to all kinds of problems. Your brain not working as well, 0:03:12.020 --> 0:03:16.780 but also... Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, anything that affects your brain is 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.580 your glymphatic system getting all gummed up. I'm not sure 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.139 I've ever heard this term before. I had never heard 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.040 it before either. That's why it's such a big story 0:03:23.060 --> 0:03:26.799 in the Washington Post and other places. The brain's plumbing system, 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.570 if it doesn't work properly, cellular garbage accumulates, and a 0:03:30.620 --> 0:03:34.230 cleaner brain is a healthier brain. Three ways to help 0:03:34.250 --> 0:03:36.850 your brain clear out waste. Well, I'm going to do 0:03:36.910 --> 0:03:38.950 all three of these. It turns out I'm only going 0:03:38.990 --> 0:03:42.090 to do two of them. But I am doing two 0:03:42.130 --> 0:03:45.100 of them, which is good. mindful breathing. I think I 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.500 kind of do that because I. 0:03:46.900 --> 0:03:51.920 Uh, I do that all the time. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.780 Joe does in the office all day. 0:03:56.090 --> 0:03:58.010 Judy and I are out to eat sitting in a booth, 0:04:00.130 --> 0:04:01.430 the table behind me, sir. 0:04:01.490 --> 0:04:02.590 Could you stop that? 0:04:02.650 --> 0:04:04.530 Oh yeah. You want me to have a gummed up 0:04:04.570 --> 0:04:09.850 lymphatic system? You monster. How about you mind your own business? Um, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.119 I guess I do mindful, but I, I, I meditate. 0:04:14.140 --> 0:04:17.060 So I don't know, probably don't do that one either. Um, 0:04:17.690 --> 0:04:19.990 but the, uh, one of the main ones that I 0:04:20.050 --> 0:04:23.669 don't do absolutely sleep, sleep, not getting enough sleep is 0:04:23.750 --> 0:04:25.870 so horrible for the brain. That's where they clear out 0:04:25.910 --> 0:04:30.120 a lot of the glymphatic goop that leads to perhaps Alzheimer's, 0:04:30.260 --> 0:04:34.680 perhaps Parkinson's, perhaps lots of these different things. And, um, 0:04:35.550 --> 0:04:38.150 That sleepy time is when you clear all that gook out. 0:04:38.190 --> 0:04:40.890 It actually drains out of your brain into your body 0:04:40.910 --> 0:04:42.650 and then comes out as waste. But if you don't 0:04:42.670 --> 0:04:44.260 get enough sleep, it doesn't have time to do it. 0:04:44.540 --> 0:04:48.960 I'm going to demand a mid-show nap from here on out. Boy, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.920 I love a good nap. I do, too. Neither one 0:04:51.940 --> 0:04:55.100 of my kids like naps. And I think I did 0:04:55.180 --> 0:04:57.520 even as a high schooler. I think I liked a nap. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.140 I rarely got to take one, but I think I 0:04:59.160 --> 0:04:59.620 enjoyed them. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.800 Yeah, I was desperate for sleep-as-I-school. What's your perfect nap length? 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.240 What's your go-to? Or do you just grab it when 0:05:07.260 --> 0:05:08.400 you can as long as you got? 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.910 Often that, but didn't we learn a while back, this 0:05:12.990 --> 0:05:14.490 is stuck in my head, that it's either going to 0:05:14.510 --> 0:05:16.490 be 20 minutes or an hour and a half, anything 0:05:16.550 --> 0:05:18.890 other than that, and you wake up with that sick, 0:05:19.050 --> 0:05:22.190 groggy feeling, which I hate. That is the worst. I'd 0:05:22.230 --> 0:05:25.420 rather not take a nap than wake up with that, oh, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.240 I feel like I'm going to yack it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:30.600 Makes you sluggish for the rest of the day. 0:05:31.020 --> 0:05:33.400 I found that it takes me a minute to mellow out, 0:05:33.550 --> 0:05:36.470 so a good half hour is about perfect for me. 0:05:36.490 --> 0:05:38.290 Yeah, if I set my alarm for 30 minutes, I 0:05:38.310 --> 0:05:40.470 probably get 20 minutes of sleep, which is the right amount. 0:05:40.510 --> 0:05:42.710 And then I wake up and I feel pretty good. But, man, 0:05:42.750 --> 0:05:45.510 that too long? Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. 0:05:45.529 --> 0:05:49.520 I hate that. Does everybody nap? Some of you are like, 0:05:49.660 --> 0:05:51.729 I haven't taken a nap in 40 years. Is that 0:05:51.750 --> 0:05:53.130 what a lot of you are screaming at the radio 0:05:53.150 --> 0:05:53.409 right now? 0:05:53.970 --> 0:05:56.990 My wife will only nap in extreme circumstances. 0:05:58.470 --> 0:06:00.290 Like we had an overnight flight and she got no 0:06:00.370 --> 0:06:02.000 sleep or something like that. 0:06:02.310 --> 0:06:04.080 My dad started taking a nap every day, but he's 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.080 pushing 90. So I suppose you get to eat a 0:06:06.100 --> 0:06:08.820 free pass for that. Do whatever the hell he wants. 0:06:09.260 --> 0:06:12.280 No kidding. But sleep health, man, they're learning more and 0:06:12.300 --> 0:06:14.630 more about how important that is for your brain resetting 0:06:14.670 --> 0:06:17.020 and all that sort of stuff. Try to get enough 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.669 sleep the natural way if you can. Taking sleep medication 0:06:19.710 --> 0:06:22.770 is not good because that inhibits all the oscillations that 0:06:22.810 --> 0:06:24.969 need to happen to get the stuff to drain out 0:06:24.990 --> 0:06:25.450 of your brain. 0:06:25.970 --> 0:06:28.650 Right, you gotta get your oscillating in. 0:06:29.170 --> 0:06:33.120 Melatonin's a huge industry right now, though. I don't know 0:06:33.140 --> 0:06:37.120 if that counts. The mindful breathing, I don't exactly know 0:06:37.140 --> 0:06:38.880 what I'm supposed to do with that. And then the 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.420 other one, of course, is, oh, but you could guess. 0:06:42.220 --> 0:06:44.880 What are the two main things that you should do 0:06:45.180 --> 0:06:46.279 just to be healthy in general? 0:06:46.940 --> 0:06:51.659 Everybody say it at once. Exercise. Exercise. Gotta be, yeah. 0:06:51.860 --> 0:06:54.870 So you're probably saying this is the most useless segment 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.390 you've ever done. Maybe not if it reminds me once again, 0:06:58.930 --> 0:07:02.250 sleep and exercise. You want to feel good? You want 0:07:02.270 --> 0:07:04.840 to have a long life? Flip and get enough sleep. 0:07:05.060 --> 0:07:09.400 I exercise every day. But sleep thing, not so much. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.880 You're way better at exercise than I am. I'm way 0:07:11.900 --> 0:07:12.430 better at sleep. 0:07:12.550 --> 0:07:14.990 Although, uh, I take a morning walk with my wife 0:07:15.070 --> 0:07:18.730 every morning and almost skipped it today, almost skipped it 0:07:18.890 --> 0:07:19.790 and was running late. 0:07:19.890 --> 0:07:21.710 And I said, no, I just can't. I'm not, I 0:07:21.950 --> 0:07:23.630 have no good reason. Get out there. 0:07:23.710 --> 0:07:26.740 Now you're running late idiot. That's, that's the problem. You're 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:27.520 not skipping your walk. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.400 I've been trying to make my son go to the 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.240 gym with me every afternoon. Cause I go every day. And, um, 0:07:32.670 --> 0:07:34.430 Trying to create the habit. That's one of the best 0:07:34.490 --> 0:07:37.230 things I've learned in my life is that habits are 0:07:37.270 --> 0:07:41.310 hard to break, good or bad. I spent my whole 0:07:41.330 --> 0:07:43.690 life thinking bad habits are hard to break. No, good 0:07:43.730 --> 0:07:45.630 habits are hard to break. A lot of the things 0:07:45.650 --> 0:07:47.910 that you do are just because you got into a habit, 0:07:47.930 --> 0:07:50.650 maybe as a kid or a young adult or whatever. 0:07:50.670 --> 0:07:55.360 And it's not just part of your DNA. It's a 0:07:55.450 --> 0:07:59.180 habit that you created. And I can't skip exercise. It's 0:07:59.220 --> 0:08:01.380 like something's wrong here. I got to go to the gym. 0:08:02.670 --> 0:08:04.770 or practice a guitar or whatever my good habits are. 0:08:04.790 --> 0:08:06.929 I also have plenty of bad habits. It's a long list. 0:08:09.210 --> 0:08:10.870 What do they say? How long it takes to establish 0:08:10.910 --> 0:08:12.540 a good habit? Do it 60 times in a row 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:13.380 or something like that? 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:13.720 I don't know. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.680 There's some number they claim. I don't know if that's 0:08:15.700 --> 0:08:19.540 true or not. What's your worst habit? That'd be a 0:08:19.540 --> 0:08:20.900 good one. Text line, email. 0:08:20.940 --> 0:08:25.670 What's your worst habit? Asking personal questions of people. 0:08:25.990 --> 0:08:26.550 That's yours. 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.280 Michael, what's your worst habit? 0:08:33.890 --> 0:08:39.390 Being a beeping tom. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, crouching in your 0:08:39.410 --> 0:08:42.360 neighbor's bushes. That's what I thought. Yeah, yeah. 0:08:42.970 --> 0:08:45.170 Hey, third strike, they put you away for a long time, 0:08:45.190 --> 0:08:47.970 by the way, Michael. Just remember that. It would have 0:08:47.990 --> 0:08:50.550 to be the sauce, I think, for me. And I 0:08:50.590 --> 0:08:56.600 try to drink reasonably, but like according to CDC guidelines, no, I. 0:08:56.540 --> 0:08:57.219 Drink way too much. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.560 But those guidelines can go to hell. But no, in 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.600 terms of, because I try to get sleep, I exercise regularly. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.280 I'm good to my wife. 0:09:07.780 --> 0:09:11.850 I don't know. Sarcasm? No, it's got to be. Gotta 0:09:11.870 --> 0:09:12.690 be the scotch. 0:09:12.970 --> 0:09:13.630 I stay up too late. 0:09:13.650 --> 0:09:14.890 And wine. I like wine. 0:09:14.910 --> 0:09:19.130 You stay up too late. Sarcasm's a good one. I 0:09:19.170 --> 0:09:22.600 recognized that the other day. Every once in a while, 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.680 I use sarcasm as a parenting tool, and I don't 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.140 like it any time that I do. 0:09:28.140 --> 0:09:31.740 It's usually not, like, on purpose. I learned the same 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:32.660 lesson painfully. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:38.380 Yeah, it just, it's... Different people of different personality types 0:09:38.580 --> 0:09:42.700 and stages of development, including adolescence and teenage years and 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.640 stuff like that. Sometimes, though, you're not wielding the weapon 0:09:46.740 --> 0:09:51.290 quite the way you think you are. You're hitting harder 0:09:51.350 --> 0:09:53.270 than you thought you were at times. 0:09:53.350 --> 0:09:55.490 And I just was remembering in my own childhood, I'm 0:09:55.710 --> 0:09:58.310 pretty sure my dad has never said anything sarcastic to 0:09:58.350 --> 0:10:01.350 me in an, you know, like, an effort to correct 0:10:01.390 --> 0:10:03.970 me or anything like that ever in my life. And 0:10:04.030 --> 0:10:07.429 I do that because I'm a sarcastic person.

It's a high school. 0:15:27.310 --> 0:15:32.390 Okay. I think in a high school, I would have 0:15:32.670 --> 0:15:35.740 only been amused. I wouldn't have been hurt or shocked. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.600 I would have thought this is the funniest thing I've 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.720 ever seen in my life. Hey, Fatty! 0:15:40.510 --> 0:15:43.190 If it was like a menacing looking dude, that would 0:15:43.210 --> 0:15:46.190 be a different experience.

That caught everybody by surprise. 0:16:19.670 --> 0:16:24.770 Wow. So here's the state of our public schools. And 0:16:25.590 --> 0:16:29.820 I've got some great writing about how Hannah Nicole Jones 0:16:29.860 --> 0:16:30.460 thing where she. 0:16:31.270 --> 0:16:34.489 Confesses that maybe she shouldn't have sacrificed her child to 0:16:34.530 --> 0:16:37.590 go to the crappy local government schools and her kid 0:16:37.650 --> 0:16:38.510 resents the hell out of. 0:16:38.510 --> 0:16:38.970 Her for it. 0:16:39.010 --> 0:16:42.670 And then Randy Weingarten, the most evil person in America, 0:16:42.730 --> 0:16:45.520 the head of the big teachers union, responded with a 0:16:45.740 --> 0:16:51.820 stream of ridiculousness and crap effluvium that was just unbelievable. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:56.420 But anyway, so here in Milwaukee at this high school, 0:16:57.580 --> 0:17:01.560 Eight teachers were absent, and only one of those absences 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.460 was filled. So some yay who shows up and says. 0:17:05.500 --> 0:17:09.270 Yeah, I'm a substitute teacher. They're like, okay, great. Where's 0:17:09.310 --> 0:17:15.409 the fat Mexican kids?

According to the complaint, 0:17:39.230 --> 0:17:42.530 she told one boy he was fat, told others they 0:17:42.550 --> 0:17:45.130 were the types of people to have incest, and told 0:17:45.150 --> 0:17:48.280 one girl she would either become a stripper or a hooker. 0:17:48.300 --> 0:17:51.600 I knew there was something I'd forgotten to dwell on. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:53.840 Cousin blankers. 0:17:53.859 --> 0:17:56.320 You look like someone who'd have sex with their sister. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:57.420 What is that? 0:17:58.140 --> 0:17:59.129 You're going to grow up to be a hoe. 0:17:59.380 --> 0:17:59.570 Oh, my God. 0:17:59.580 --> 0:17:59.840 What? 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:05.100 Oh, my God.

That is uncool. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.710 Gender bending madness update coming up next. Stay with us. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:19.980 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:21.869 --> 0:18:24.310 If I am to believe this Wall Street Journal editorial 0:18:24.350 --> 0:18:28.129 board piece today, and I do believe it, the reporting 0:18:28.310 --> 0:18:34.490 on the French riots couldn't be more laughably misrepresentative of 0:18:34.550 --> 0:18:35.690 what's actually happening. 0:18:36.470 --> 0:18:37.270 Oh, yeah. Yeah. 0:18:37.290 --> 0:18:40.350 As we discussed yesterday and I'm happy to discuss again today. 0:18:41.450 --> 0:18:45.230 As it says in paragraph three, France doesn't have more 0:18:45.270 --> 0:18:47.730 money to spend on schools because it doesn't have more 0:18:47.770 --> 0:18:50.780 money to spend on anything. And it goes through how 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.639 broke France is, and there's no hope of getting out 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:53.940 of this. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:54.720 No. 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.419 Like, zero hope. Their economy grew last year 0.8%, and 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:04.619 it's supposed to be around 0.5% this year. See, we 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.139 spend like France, but we grow out of it. I 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.400 don't know how long we can pull that off. And 0:19:11.460 --> 0:19:13.760 we're going to end up in the same situation if 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.340 we don't write our sales. But they have no hope 0:19:17.380 --> 0:19:18.139 of growing out of it. 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.680 And any attempt to rein in their incredibly unaffordable welfare 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.050 state is greeted with violence and mayhem like you're seeing 0:19:27.090 --> 0:19:27.450 right now. 0:19:27.510 --> 0:19:30.030 This happens to be partly related to that. 0:19:30.890 --> 0:19:33.510 They called it in the Wall Street Journal a violent 0:19:33.609 --> 0:19:37.480 game of musical chairs. where no particular interest group wants 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.840 to be the last one without a chair, the one 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:42.919 to not get its funding, because they're going to have 0:19:42.940 --> 0:19:45.490 to start cutting people. And so you try to be 0:19:45.510 --> 0:19:49.450 the squeaky wheel that gets it for schools or medicine. 0:19:50.140 --> 0:19:51.780 or whatever it is, the thing, you know, all the 0:19:51.820 --> 0:19:52.800 tax money is going to. 0:19:52.820 --> 0:19:53.840 Right, right. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:58.600 And significantly more Democrats in the United States favor socialism 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.960 than favor the free market or call it capitalism. 0:20:01.010 --> 0:20:02.030 If you want, I prefer not to. 0:20:02.070 --> 0:20:07.389 But in spite of the fact that Britain, France, Germany, Germany, 0:20:07.470 --> 0:20:10.390 less so because different case, but They're all just seeing 0:20:10.410 --> 0:20:12.030 the inevitable fruits of socialism. 0:20:12.510 --> 0:20:14.649 It happens over and over again. It has to happen. 0:20:14.750 --> 0:20:17.350 It's built in. It's not a bug. It's a feature, 0:20:17.390 --> 0:20:17.910 as they say. 0:20:18.369 --> 0:20:20.230 More on that to come. Right now, it's time for 0:20:20.250 --> 0:20:22.330 a gender-bending madness update. 0:20:22.770 --> 0:20:27.340 So, I kept hearing about this thing called gender-bending madness. 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.419 They're loco. We're in a brave new world. 0:20:37.500 --> 0:20:40.399 I got my rave lights going in the studio. Oh, yeah. 0:20:40.420 --> 0:20:42.359 I took some ecstasy. Good man. 0:20:42.380 --> 0:20:43.460 Has it kicked in yet? 0:20:44.700 --> 0:20:47.770 So, a couple of stories to get to very briefly. 0:20:47.869 --> 0:20:49.590 First of all, a headline from the New York Post, 0:20:49.630 --> 0:20:51.390 which surprised me a little bit the way this is worded, 0:20:51.410 --> 0:20:56.670 but Trump attacks Democratic Senate candidate Annie Andrews with anti-trans slur. 0:20:57.470 --> 0:21:01.810 He is repeatedly, because of her sympathies with radical gender 0:21:01.850 --> 0:21:05.649 theory and transgender athletes and that sort of thing, calling 0:21:05.710 --> 0:21:12.650 her Annie Tranny Andrews, who's running against alleged simpleton Darlene 0:21:12.750 --> 0:21:16.890 Graham in the Senate in South Carolina. Used the term 0:21:16.930 --> 0:21:22.180 a couple of times. We commented on this. He said 0:21:22.220 --> 0:21:25.770 she's in favor of transgender for everyone, open borders, defunding 0:21:25.810 --> 0:21:29.290 the police, high taxes, a weak military. Well, absolutely, take 0:21:29.310 --> 0:21:31.280 your guns away, et cetera, sir. But a lot of 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:36.340 people are focusing on the Annie Tranny Andrews, which she used. 0:21:37.150 --> 0:21:40.370 And I was somewhat dismissive of the idea that that 0:21:40.410 --> 0:21:42.369 was a slur, which I'll explain in a minute. But 0:21:43.150 --> 0:21:45.990 Randy writes, tranny is a slur. It just is. And 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.220 that is a fact. When did you lose your compassion? Sorry, 0:21:49.260 --> 0:21:51.280 it doesn't bother you as a biological male, but it 0:21:51.300 --> 0:21:54.240 does bother transmitted women. They are a thing and it 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.939 bothers them. You want to insult people so bad that 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.219 you're ignoring hurting people who have struggled? 0:21:59.740 --> 0:22:02.650 Talk to some trans girls. I know you don't know any. 0:22:02.950 --> 0:22:05.609 It is just sad how bitter you have become. Okay. 0:22:06.010 --> 0:22:12.590 Well, to be specific, though, wasn't tranny usually meaning transvestite, 0:22:12.730 --> 0:22:15.030 as in a guy dressed like a woman, but he wasn't? 0:22:16.170 --> 0:22:19.590 Didn't think he was a woman. That was before we 0:22:20.090 --> 0:22:23.409 discovered the idea that you are a woman trapped in 0:22:23.430 --> 0:22:24.070 a man's body. 0:22:24.590 --> 0:22:25.889 I don't know what the history of the use of 0:22:25.930 --> 0:22:33.510 that term is, honestly. And my rejection of pretending like 0:22:33.570 --> 0:22:40.200 it's some all-powerful slur is a couple-fold, Randy. Number one, 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.139 the left is constantly changing the language you can and 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.680 cannot use. It has nothing to do with the words. 0:22:46.740 --> 0:22:49.260 It has to do with your submission. And I choose 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.800 not to submit. And the question of, I mean, obviously 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.540 there are some racial slurs that are going to cause 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.679 a lot of problems if you use them. But the 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:05.320 problem is in the wake of the woke apocalypse, critical theory, neo-Marxism, 0:23:05.380 --> 0:23:09.560 the postmodernists, etc., where critical theory, the point of it 0:23:09.660 --> 0:23:13.200 is that you're critical. You problematize everything. Everything anybody says, 0:23:13.220 --> 0:23:17.070 you say, oh, that means this, and you've hurt people's feelings, 0:23:17.330 --> 0:23:19.889 and you're a racist. And I'm like, I just ordered lunch. 0:23:20.470 --> 0:23:21.510 How am I racist? 0:23:21.890 --> 0:23:26.830 Your intentions don't matter. See, that's about submission, too. 0:23:27.630 --> 0:23:31.550 And the idea that a term like tranny, for instance— 0:23:34.780 --> 0:23:39.760 Does it offend people because they've been taught to be 0:23:39.900 --> 0:23:43.939 offended by it because it gets them power? Or is 0:23:43.980 --> 0:23:48.570 it actually somehow intrinsically offensive, that collection of sounds? Trans 0:23:48.630 --> 0:23:51.890 instead of tranny. If I were writing a dictionary, there's 0:23:51.910 --> 0:23:54.030 a very small change at the very end of both 0:23:54.070 --> 0:23:56.369 those words where you'd have a little different symbol for 0:23:56.410 --> 0:23:59.000 how it's pronounced. So I'm not into the magic and 0:23:59.140 --> 0:24:00.220 incantation thing. 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.020 I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend or hurt anybody's feelings. 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.040 And yes, I agree. Trans people have suffered greatly. 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:09.659 I think they have some significant emotional issues and I 0:24:09.740 --> 0:24:11.920 wish them nothing but health and happiness. 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:13.060 Moving along. 0:24:13.700 --> 0:24:16.140 New York Times, how Democrats have changed the way they 0:24:16.180 --> 0:24:20.500 talk about trans issues. Democrats competing in a lot of 0:24:20.980 --> 0:24:26.260 especially purple territory issues. are more aggressively responding to Republican tax, 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.300 casting them as extreme. Of course, it's a Republicans pounce 0:24:29.700 --> 0:24:34.149 style story. But here's this longtime Democratic congresswoman in a 0:24:34.210 --> 0:24:36.690 tough race. She's running an ad in which she says, 0:24:37.350 --> 0:24:41.570 boys should not play in girls' sports. And that she 0:24:41.670 --> 0:24:45.760 is focused on making your life more affordable. I think 0:24:45.780 --> 0:24:49.859 that's pretty notable. Who is the Congress guy who who 0:24:49.900 --> 0:24:51.740 said something like, I worry about my daughters. 0:24:51.780 --> 0:24:53.780 I don't want them to get run over. And then 0:24:53.900 --> 0:24:56.780 six months later, he walked it back because he was 0:24:56.820 --> 0:24:59.359 in a blue area, even though he's a father of 0:24:59.540 --> 0:25:00.480 little girls. 0:25:00.540 --> 0:25:01.160 Wow, that's weak. 0:25:01.790 --> 0:25:02.830 Yeah, it's so weak. 0:25:03.109 --> 0:25:06.869 In North Carolina, vulnerable Democratic Congressman Don Davis released a 0:25:06.910 --> 0:25:09.930 commercial that shows him stalking a football field and saying that, quote, 0:25:10.190 --> 0:25:12.990 there are real concerns about fairness and safety in youth sports, 0:25:13.050 --> 0:25:15.330 and there should always be a safe and fair space 0:25:15.369 --> 0:25:16.969 for women and girls in sports. 0:25:18.250 --> 0:25:21.800 Uh, so that is, uh, that's progress. 0:25:21.859 --> 0:25:23.560 I think of course the New York times has to 0:25:23.580 --> 0:25:27.219 put it several of the country's most competitive congressional battlegrounds. 0:25:27.420 --> 0:25:30.540 A leading progressive super PAC is running ads, describing Republicans 0:25:30.619 --> 0:25:34.590 as obsessed with transgender people and distracted from rising prices. 0:25:35.130 --> 0:25:38.290 I suggest you stop mutilating children. But, um, anyway, I 0:25:38.330 --> 0:25:40.870 thought that was notable that the New York times was conceding. 0:25:40.550 --> 0:25:49.760 That sometimes one side or the other, uh, tries to 0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:55.070 paint somebody with a minor issue, and you get obsessed 0:25:55.130 --> 0:25:56.850 with it, or you can call somebody obsessed with it. 0:25:57.290 --> 0:26:01.330 In this particular case of the boys and girls sports, 0:26:02.510 --> 0:26:04.690 I think it's different in that that's all I need 0:26:04.710 --> 0:26:06.389 to know about you. I don't need to know a 0:26:06.650 --> 0:26:09.300 single other thing about you. If you think it's okay 0:26:09.340 --> 0:26:11.880 for dudes to play in girls sports, you're a nut, 0:26:12.260 --> 0:26:14.520 and I don't want you to be in office. I 0:26:14.540 --> 0:26:16.760 don't care what your other policies are. You're a nut. 0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:19.399 And we've talked about this plenty of times, so I'll 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:24.110 give you the short version this time. But the point 0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:29.870 of the postmodernist, the critical theory guys, is that they 0:26:29.930 --> 0:26:33.810 want to talk you out of any objective standard. The 0:26:33.930 --> 0:26:37.150 only objective standard is what the party tells you it is. 0:26:38.150 --> 0:26:40.790 There's no difference between male and female. It's entirely a 0:26:40.850 --> 0:26:44.480 social construct built by those who have power. 0:26:45.300 --> 0:26:47.200 And so to claim, no, there. 0:26:47.060 --> 0:26:48.960 Are men and there are women, and men shouldn't be 0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.480 in women's sports, boys shouldn't be in girls' sports, that's 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:55.800 to deny their premise that there are bedrock facts that 0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.400 you can count on. And I know not everybody gets 0:26:58.540 --> 0:27:01.820 into the philosophical underpinnings of political movements, but I know 0:27:01.859 --> 0:27:04.420 what it is, and I will not submit to that. 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.830 I will not say up is down and black is white, 0:27:07.890 --> 0:27:10.990 because once you lose your internal sense of truth, they 0:27:11.230 --> 0:27:14.810 have you. That's the point of Well, that and I 0:27:14.830 --> 0:27:17.750 don't like seeing little girls get beat down by boys 0:27:17.810 --> 0:27:21.280 playing sports. So yeah, it's much more important than just 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.390 a few players on field. Moving along, a New York 0:27:25.470 --> 0:27:30.050 jury just awarded $ 2 million. Funny, this isn't getting picked 0:27:30.109 --> 0:27:33.070 up in the mainstream media much at all. Just awarded 0:27:33.070 --> 0:27:35.890 $ 2 million to a young woman who underwent a double 0:27:35.910 --> 0:27:39.679 mastectomy at 16 and later, quote-unquote, detransitioned. 0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:40.820 I hadn't heard that story. 0:27:41.260 --> 0:27:44.679 The jury found her psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice. 0:27:44.859 --> 0:27:48.439 Her case alleged, and this will sound so familiar to you, 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.510 it's hardly even worth reading. Her case alleged that serious 0:27:51.590 --> 0:27:56.670 mental health issues, including depression, body dysmorphia, anorexia, autism spectrum traits, 0:27:56.910 --> 0:28:01.470 were not adequately addressed before an irreversible procedure was performed 0:28:01.619 --> 0:28:04.500 on a minor. Now watch what happens when someone like 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:08.119 her speaks publicly, writes Jean Robinson. For years, we were 0:28:08.180 --> 0:28:11.300 told regret was exceedingly rare. We were told these procedures 0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:14.619 were necessary care. We were told questioning the process itself 0:28:14.660 --> 0:28:17.710 was dangerous. And when a detransitioner stands up and says, 0:28:17.730 --> 0:28:21.670 this happened to me, suddenly she becomes the problem. This 0:28:21.910 --> 0:28:25.770 is the tell. When evidence supports the narrative, it is celebrated. 0:28:26.050 --> 0:28:29.939 When evidence contradicts the narrative, the person carrying the evidence 0:28:29.980 --> 0:28:33.340 gets attacked. A jury heard the testimony, a jury examined 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:35.820 the evidence, a jury found malpractice, and a jury put 0:28:35.859 --> 0:28:39.160 the damages at $ 2 million. You don't protect vulnerable young 0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:41.630 people by demanding silence from the ones who come back 0:28:41.690 --> 0:28:45.110 and said... I wish someone had slowed them down. You 0:28:45.150 --> 0:28:48.510 protect them by listening. That's some great writing. And speaking 0:28:48.550 --> 0:28:51.530 of great writing, we will end this gender-bending madness update 0:28:51.890 --> 0:28:53.719 with the fabulous J.K. 0:28:54.020 --> 0:28:55.540 Rowling. Or do you say Rowling? 0:28:57.540 --> 0:29:03.000 And she is responding to the absolute skyrocketing and then 0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:08.350 practically vanishing of genital surgeries by age group, in this 0:29:08.410 --> 0:29:13.720 case in Germany. pointing out that in 2005, very few 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.300 people received any of these surgeries. 0:29:16.700 --> 0:29:17.800 I'm surprised anyone did. 0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:21.100 In the whole of Germany. It was 120 in the 0:29:21.140 --> 0:29:23.460 whole of Germany of any age. Then in 2025, it 0:29:23.510 --> 0:29:23.810 was 4,200. 0:29:23.810 --> 0:29:23.980 Wow. 0:29:24.030 --> 0:29:24.610 From 120 to a 4,200. 0:29:24.610 --> 0:29:28.130 And the shift in age distribution is staggering. Surgeries on 0:29:28.130 --> 0:29:31.310 18 to 25-year-olds were non-existent. Non-existent in the aughts. Just 0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:44.450 you know, the 2000s. Now they dominate every other group 0:29:44.810 --> 0:29:48.890 by a large factor. So it was that that J.K. 0:29:48.950 --> 0:29:52.360 Rowling was commenting on when she wrote... But it couldn't 0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:57.180 be social contagion, folks. It's just that young people, especially autistic, gay, 0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:59.830 and mentally ill ones, are finally free to be their 0:29:59.890 --> 0:30:02.990 authentic selves. The sudden explosion of young women who want 0:30:03.010 --> 0:30:06.190 to cut off their healthy breasts and take testosterone, well, 0:30:06.210 --> 0:30:09.380 it's absolutely not the newest form of self-harm. to which 0:30:09.470 --> 0:30:13.300 troubled adolescent girls are provably prone, okay? It's not a 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.660 consequence of the commonplace fear of becoming an adult woman 0:30:16.900 --> 0:30:18.360 with all that that entails. 0:30:18.660 --> 0:30:21.640 No, there's nothing to worry about there. The possibility of regret? 0:30:22.020 --> 0:30:25.090 Naturally, we don't let minors get tattoos or own guns 0:30:25.170 --> 0:30:28.070 or vote, because that would be ridiculous. But if they 0:30:28.110 --> 0:30:31.970 want irreversible surgeries and drug treatments, they must be given them, 0:30:32.250 --> 0:30:34.790 and everyone around them must immediately agree that they are 0:30:34.830 --> 0:30:37.450 now the opposite sex— That's called being kind. 0:30:37.790 --> 0:30:39.830 And the mounting number of detransitioners? 0:30:40.190 --> 0:30:43.490 They were never trans, obviously, and should be mercilessly attacked, 0:30:43.860 --> 0:30:46.560 especially if they now say they were vulnerable and in 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:50.200 a friendship group, online or off, dominated by trans identities, 0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.200 where transitioning was presented as a way to resolve all 0:30:53.220 --> 0:30:55.200 their social and emotional difficulties. 0:30:55.580 --> 0:30:58.720 I have the emails, she writes. No, there's nothing whatsoever 0:30:58.740 --> 0:30:59.260 to see here. 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.800 Just keep justifying it, keep cheering it on, keep insisting 0:31:02.820 --> 0:31:05.420 that the doctors and drug companies making serious money out 0:31:05.460 --> 0:31:07.580 of all of it are acting with the purest of motives. 0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:12.050 Answer every reasonable question with an accusation of hatred and bigotry. 0:31:12.430 --> 0:31:17.030 Dispel every qualm of conscience with an activist-approved talking point. 0:31:17.390 --> 0:31:20.450 Reassure yourself that everyone on your dinner party circuit agrees 0:31:20.490 --> 0:31:22.790 with you. And when in years to come we're all 0:31:22.850 --> 0:31:25.520 looking back on graphs like this, be proud that you 0:31:25.580 --> 0:31:30.300 did your bit to bash whistleblowers, parrot unevidenced claims, and 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.980 create the climate of fear that allowed the worst medical 0:31:33.060 --> 0:31:36.540 scandal in a century to take place. And I would add, 0:31:36.660 --> 0:31:41.840 and it took place on children. That's a gender-bending madness update. 0:31:41.860 --> 0:31:46.430 Good for her. 0:31:46.670 --> 0:31:46.950 J.K. 0:31:47.010 --> 0:31:50.870 Rowling really, she spent a lot of capital. 0:31:52.630 --> 0:31:52.930 On this. 0:31:53.770 --> 0:31:56.210 She's a woman of conscience who cares about the kids. 0:31:56.410 --> 0:31:58.360 It does help to be ungodly rich to where you can, 0:31:58.390 --> 0:31:58.580 you know. 0:31:59.510 --> 0:32:02.570 I wouldn't know. But yes, yes, it would have to help. 0:32:03.150 --> 0:32:06.420 Good for her. So speaking of money management, a lot 0:32:06.620 --> 0:32:11.480 of financial planning companies and just the whole topic kind 0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:16.500 of stinks of Wall Street and hedge funds and fancy pantsedness, 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:18.710 whereas a lot of folks who listen to the show 0:32:19.210 --> 0:32:21.810 have worked hard and built up a bit of wealth, 0:32:21.850 --> 0:32:23.410 but they don't need the fancy stuff. 0:32:23.750 --> 0:32:25.230 You ought to get in touch with our friends at 0:32:25.290 --> 0:32:28.209 Blue Collar Dollar.

It's grabbed by. 0:33:23.260 --> 0:33:23.400 Bogert. 0:33:23.420 --> 0:33:24.680 Steps on Siki. Game over. And San Diego survives. 0:33:34.060 --> 0:33:34.600 What a play. 0:33:36.610 --> 0:33:37.910 That was about as good a double play as you're 0:33:37.930 --> 0:33:40.530 going to see to end that game in the Padres 1. 0:33:40.530 --> 0:33:44.390 So it's now 2-1 Brewers over the Padres. Or Baxter 0:33:44.430 --> 0:33:49.170 against the wall. Baseball playoff. Playoff baseball is absolutely amazing. 0:33:49.790 --> 0:33:51.990 But it tends to be a regional sport where it's 0:33:52.030 --> 0:33:53.810 either a team you're into or it's not. And if 0:33:53.830 --> 0:33:55.610 you're not into it, people don't watch it near as much. 0:33:57.110 --> 0:34:00.520 As opposed to like football where you'll watch two teams 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:03.440 2,000 miles away from you for whatever reason. We just do. 0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:05.590 Part of it in the playoffs is that it's a 0:34:05.810 --> 0:34:07.430 one and done in the NFL. 0:34:07.450 --> 0:34:12.030 That helps. But this is kind of funny. This happened 0:34:12.050 --> 0:34:13.589 during the game, and you don't need to know anything 0:34:13.630 --> 0:34:15.779 about sports about this. This is something they started doing 0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:18.799 a couple of years ago, where during the game, they'll 0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:23.180 go down and interview the manager or players sometimes. But 0:34:23.219 --> 0:34:24.739 they'll talk to the manager in the dugout, and the 0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:27.589 game's going on. A very important playoff game where they're 0:34:27.620 --> 0:34:30.670 making decisions on a moment-by-moment basis. But anyway, they were 0:34:30.730 --> 0:34:34.989 interviewing the Brewers manager while the game was going on. 0:34:35.030 --> 0:34:37.580 This is how it unfolded. Nick Pavetta, it's the classic 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:38.219 high-low game. 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:39.000 You've seen it before. 0:34:39.020 --> 0:34:41.680 How do you like the approach so far early on? Yeah, 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.410 we've been a little antsy. I think we just might 0:34:43.430 --> 0:34:45.700 get some fit. Get in the gap, Sal. God damn it, Merrill. 0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.460 That's it, Merrill, right. 0:34:49.650 --> 0:34:49.810 There. 0:34:49.870 --> 0:34:50.189 All right. 0:34:50.270 --> 0:34:54.670 To the chagrin of Pat Murphy on the ball. What 0:34:54.690 --> 0:34:56.290 are you going to do? You got all worked up 0:34:56.310 --> 0:34:56.580 about it. 0:34:56.770 --> 0:34:58.770 Dropped a GD bomb on the guy making a nice 0:34:58.810 --> 0:35:01.150 play on his hitter. Eh, he's into it. 0:35:02.030 --> 0:35:05.790 Um, what do you expect? You're interviewing these guys during 0:35:05.850 --> 0:35:10.910 the game. Are they supposed to just drop what they're doing? Yeah. Um, 0:35:12.930 --> 0:35:14.410 this is annoying. Do you want annoying? 0:35:15.410 --> 0:35:16.850 Not particularly, but go ahead. 0:35:18.410 --> 0:35:20.029 So I just saw the first part of it and 0:35:20.050 --> 0:35:22.739 I thought, okay, cool. He's, he's, he's, he's taken a 0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:25.000 day off today. Good for him. No, he did not. 0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:27.920 Who am I talking about? The mayor of New York city, 0:35:28.180 --> 0:35:35.560 mayor mom, Donnie, uh, This was his tweet today on 0:35:35.620 --> 0:35:38.940 October 7th, the three-year anniversary of the horror that happened 0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.960 at the hands of Hamas in Israel. I just saw 0:35:41.980 --> 0:35:43.960 the first paragraph, and then when you click on it, 0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.040 you see the rest of it. This day is profoundly 0:35:46.100 --> 0:35:48.980 painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years 0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:51.910 since the horrific war crimes of October 7th. On that day, 0:35:51.950 --> 0:35:55.830 Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. 0:35:55.870 --> 0:35:58.589 We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still 0:35:58.610 --> 0:36:00.629 carry that unthinkable loss. And I thought, okay, that's cool 0:36:01.390 --> 0:36:05.370 that you said that. Then he goes into, the suffering 0:36:05.410 --> 0:36:08.770 did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued 0:36:08.810 --> 0:36:12.690 through the Israeli government's devastating ongoing genocide in Gaza. 0:36:13.130 --> 0:36:15.529 It's not a genocide by any stretch of the imagination, 0:36:15.590 --> 0:36:17.030 only by Marxist rhetoric. 0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:20.960 In which Israel has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians. That's 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:23.779 the numbers Hamas give you, so of course you go 0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:24.060 with them. 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:28.140 Not differentiating between combatants and civilians, right? 0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:32.919 Including more than 21,000 children, Hamas's numbers. Did he mention that. 0:36:32.860 --> 0:36:35.759 Hamas openly uses human shields? Did he work that into 0:36:35.780 --> 0:36:36.910 a statement? I'm just curious. 0:36:37.180 --> 0:36:40.630 Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have 0:36:40.670 --> 0:36:43.830 been killed. Listen to this. That suffering has intensified with 0:36:44.010 --> 0:36:49.210 every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals. Yes, 0:36:49.230 --> 0:36:53.359 that's what Israel's doing, bombing ambulances outside of hospitals. Every 0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:58.120 drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist. and every 0:36:58.219 --> 0:37:00.600 shipment of food aid turned away at the border crossing. 0:37:00.980 --> 0:37:04.900 Can you believe the freaking mayor of New York is 0:37:04.980 --> 0:37:08.480 so in love with Hamas that he repeats their lies 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:13.989 about this crap? There is no justifying that claim. Are 0:37:14.030 --> 0:37:18.630 you completely unaware, mayor, that they hide under buildings, all 0:37:18.650 --> 0:37:21.070 that sort of stuff, and call it an apartment building? 0:37:21.670 --> 0:37:24.070 Tunnels under hospitals. Yeah, exactly. 0:37:24.110 --> 0:37:27.410 He's an Islamist. Hey, America, look at England, look at France. 0:37:27.469 --> 0:37:30.330 You want that? Keep walking down this road. Even on today, 0:37:30.410 --> 0:37:32.870 October 7th, he couldn't keep his mouth shut about that. 0:37:32.930 --> 0:37:33.879 That's amazing. 0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:37.460 Armstrong and Getty.
