Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Hey there, it's a good Friday. What does that mean?
Speaker 2: It means a lot, even if you're not.
Speaker 1: What you would call is yourself a Christian?
Speaker 2: If even if you don't like identify as a Christian,
Speaker 2: it means a lot because it has been the dominant
Speaker 2: influencer of Western culture for two thousand years. And we
Speaker 2: can talk about that coming up a little bit later.
Speaker 2: I learned this from Tom Holland in his book Dominion,
Speaker 2: but super super interesting, So I hope he can stick
Speaker 2: around even if you're not religious.
Speaker 1: For me, it was a real slapping my forehead and saying,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how have I not recognize this moment
Speaker 1: in hearing some of this just terrific. I hope you
Speaker 1: can stay tuned.
Speaker 2: But first, before we move forward, we must look back
Speaker 2: fondly at the week that was. It's cowl clips of
Speaker 2: the week.
Speaker 1: Yes, where we are?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Who's there?
Speaker 4: No king?
Speaker 1: Do it? Is there any decision in particular you disagree with?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I would start with, I've given our boys dolls.
Speaker 3: We're recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these
Speaker 3: gender roles and ultimately be human.
Speaker 1: Here, Sean, you know, forgive me. This is embarrassing.
Speaker 5: We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America.
Speaker 1: The blood warning from Iran. Any American troops invading would
Speaker 1: be set on fire.
Speaker 2: We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages
Speaker 2: where they belong.
Speaker 1: President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down.
Speaker 1: You can ask Kamanian about that. Go through the strait
Speaker 1: and just take it, protect it. This is not aw war.
Speaker 1: We will not be drawn into the conflict. Docthors Jackson,
Speaker 1: notwithstanding you know you had sort of an idiot ag
Speaker 1: and coming along on this, I wouldn't say that because
Speaker 1: we have cases in front of the court. So Joe,
Speaker 1: well put and lift off. The crew of Artemis two
Speaker 1: now bound for the Moon.
Speaker 2: You'll go deeper into space than any human has ever
Speaker 2: gone before.
Speaker 1: Well, going back.
Speaker 2: To the second Moon.
Speaker 6: That's why new questions about Tiger Woods's future.
Speaker 1: After the fifteen time major champion was arrested, he was
Speaker 1: sweating profusely. His movements were lesargic and slow. Mister Woods,
Speaker 1: did you hang out down here with us?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was stalking the president. Well speak. Do you
Speaker 1: know I have a fear of German sausages. I always
Speaker 1: fear the worst. It's clips of the good stuff in there.
Speaker 2: So did you know? I did not know until just
Speaker 2: two minutes ago when I read this The Civil Rights
Speaker 2: movement protested heavily the moon landing in June of nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty nine.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did not know this. Yeah, I can
Speaker 1: picture Eldridge Cleaver was it leading a big protest in
Speaker 1: uh Houston.
Speaker 2: I think this is after Martin Luther King Junior had
Speaker 2: died if you know your history, because he was killed
Speaker 2: in April fourth. Tomorrow's the anniversary nineteen six. This is
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine, June when we landed men on the moon.
Speaker 2: But Ralph Abernathy, who's one of the closest advisors in
Speaker 2: right hand men to Martin Luther King Jr. Led a
Speaker 2: protest with about five hundred mostly African American protesters about
Speaker 2: how we're spending all this money on going to the
Speaker 2: moon while people are still.
Speaker 1: Hungry, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, I wonder if that's
Speaker 1: what I'm picturing. Yeah, the money should be spent in
Speaker 1: the cities, not on the moon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a number of problems with that. There
Speaker 2: will always be hungry people. So if you're going to
Speaker 2: go with that sort of logic, he can't ever do
Speaker 2: anything as long as anybody's hungry. All of these various
Speaker 2: programs that you want to throw money at to try
Speaker 2: to eliminate hunger seems to have only increased it in
Speaker 2: certain segments of society or made.
Speaker 1: Things trained as graft. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then you also have I saw this yesterday somebody
Speaker 2: who's making this sort of argument for present day with
Speaker 2: the NASA launch of Artemis two and all that that,
Speaker 2: with the we spend twenty billion dollars in our space program,
Speaker 2: and somebody wisely pointed out, yeah, but we spend and
Speaker 2: I forget what the number was, three quarters of a
Speaker 2: trillion dollars on various aid programs.
Speaker 1: In the United States. I mean it's not even close.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a drop in the bucket where we're
Speaker 2: spending on NAT's complained compared to for his tax transfers
Speaker 2: to try to help out people who don't have enough
Speaker 2: of this or that.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people would hear that argument say wow, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's actually both the false choice uh uh fallacy
Speaker 1: and it's just the mathing right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The tweet, and I don't remember who, was from some lefty,
Speaker 2: well known lefty. The tweet was billions for the space
Speaker 2: program and pennies.
Speaker 1: For the hungry.
Speaker 2: And the response by somebody who knows the numbers was
Speaker 2: or twenty billion for space program in like three quarters
Speaker 2: of a trillion.
Speaker 1: For the hungry.
Speaker 2: But you know, you do you yeah, But that sort
Speaker 2: of thing works.
Speaker 1: It works all the time on a lot of people.
Speaker 1: That's why democracy doesn't work. It's it never worked. It
Speaker 1: can't work. We need to restrict voting to landed white wow,
Speaker 1: and every other color, males and females, anybody with a job,
Speaker 1: anybody who pays taxes. You gotta pay more in taxes
Speaker 1: than you get out of it to be allowed to vote.
Speaker 1: I'll be a fascist. Go ahead, I'm a fascist. Well, goose,
Speaker 1: step right on out of here.
Speaker 2: We had a little clip in there of Gavin Newsom's
Speaker 2: wife talking about how she reads to her kids. If
Speaker 2: you didn't hear that, we did it earlier in the show.
Speaker 1: It's really really insufferable. Good lord.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole point of view.
Speaker 1: Changes the male protagonist to female, so her children realize
Speaker 1: that girls can do things too, because it's the Middle
Speaker 1: Ages or even nineteen fifty.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about, She's a reading person, Tom
Speaker 2: Sawyer to her kids? Does she make it, Tina Sawyer,
Speaker 2: so that they know that girls can also make rafts
Speaker 2: and travel around with former slaves.
Speaker 1: Do friends into painting their fence? Yeah, go ahead and
Speaker 1: play the clip, Michael. I have a comment.
Speaker 3: What I've done with both my daughters and my sons
Speaker 3: is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is
Speaker 3: a male, I just change the heat to as she
Speaker 3: and it just normalizes for my sons. In particularly, it's
Speaker 3: not even I don't even just do it.
Speaker 1: For my girls.
Speaker 3: I do it for my sons because I want them
Speaker 3: to see that women can be the center of a story,
Speaker 3: that women matter, that women are interesting.
Speaker 1: Because there are never books, TV shows, movies.
Speaker 2: Anything where women in real life where women are the
Speaker 2: center of the story just never happens.
Speaker 1: Right, What are you talking about, you crazy person? Two
Speaker 1: things I never bring up, like family or children of
Speaker 1: politicians unless they make them fair game. It's like the
Speaker 1: rules a cross examination in a courtroom. I fear for
Speaker 1: those boys, and I hope they are okay to be
Speaker 1: constantly hammered with the message that I mean. The unspoken
Speaker 1: message is, I'm not going to tell you about boys
Speaker 1: who are heroic or do things, or are adventurous, because
Speaker 1: it's much more important that you learn this. There's an
Speaker 1: unspoken message there. Well, so I give you a couple
Speaker 1: of paragraphs about but I'll bet you can guess what
Speaker 1: I'm mean.
Speaker 2: She's doing to her kids what she believes the world
Speaker 2: is doing to women but hasn't been for like centuries.
Speaker 1: Right, right, And then my second thought about it, and
Speaker 1: I think I said this on just a segment that
Speaker 1: only goes out to around the radio ranch locally. Her
Speaker 1: deal is, I believe, Number one, she's got that progressive self,
Speaker 1: a grandizing look how enlightened I am thing twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven she's That's what she gets up in the
Speaker 1: morning to do, is to make herself look enlightened. And secondly,
Speaker 1: because she operates in the rarefied air of the very
Speaker 1: very wealthy Napa Valley types and the rarefied air of
Speaker 1: the very very powerful Sacramento political class, she has no
Speaker 1: idea what normal people think or do or how we live.
Speaker 1: She's guessing she's heard things about how the unwashed masses
Speaker 1: behave and what they think the poor bigoted, you know,
Speaker 1: racist woman hating scum. I mean, it's like she took
Speaker 1: her kids on that zoo trip to the Red States
Speaker 1: so they could see Hayden racism and bigotry. It's like, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: I've lived in the Red States. I love. It's fine.
Speaker 2: It's not what you're picturing from your mountaintop in Healsburg. Well,
Speaker 2: and then she's got another clip, is her She gives
Speaker 2: her boys dolls so that they can learn about nurturing
Speaker 2: and whatever. And so apparently that's her, never having had
Speaker 2: the experience a lot of us have where if you
Speaker 2: let like some boys and girls run wild in a
Speaker 2: room full of toys, the girls pick up the dolls
Speaker 2: and the boys pick up the dump trucks. Almost entirely,
Speaker 2: they just do. We got to deconstruct gender roles. Jack
Speaker 2: not a social construct. Nobody told the little my son
Speaker 2: when he was three, only pick up the bulldozers. Boys
Speaker 2: don't nurture children, all right, now, go get the bulldozer
Speaker 2: and the oppostion to the girls pick up the doll.
Speaker 1: Girls only take care of babies.
Speaker 2: No, they just naturally do that because there is a
Speaker 2: difference between the genders and were designed a certain way
Speaker 2: by evolution.
Speaker 1: And I threw in, go ahead and play with the doll,
Speaker 1: because you'll never be at the center of any adventure
Speaker 1: or story. I made sure my girls do that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I've given our boys dolls. Even if
Speaker 3: they tear that off, I've given them dolls to learn
Speaker 3: that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's
Speaker 3: reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that
Speaker 3: is a responsibility of men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is a dedicated adherent to postmodernism critical theory.
Speaker 1: She's not nearly as smart as she thinks she is.
Speaker 1: Or you are so wildly lacking an insight, dear, you
Speaker 1: live in a world that the world you imagine is
Speaker 1: nothing like the world that actually exists.
Speaker 7: That's a great question.
Speaker 1: Well, it was a statement.
Speaker 2: So, as Mark Cowperan's always pointing out, there is no
Speaker 2: scrutiny like running for president scrutiny. I mean, you can
Speaker 2: be governor, you can do all kinds senator, you can
Speaker 2: do all kinds of things. And people are like looking
Speaker 2: for the appo. But it's nothing even close to like
Speaker 2: when you're in it for president. There's going to be
Speaker 2: stuff that she has said on camera, on video, tweeted out,
Speaker 2: written about over her ear. It's going to come out
Speaker 2: if he actually makes it to presidential GANDID that he
Speaker 2: is really going to struggle to deal with. I mean,
Speaker 2: because this is this is fifty year old her. What
Speaker 2: was twenty five year old her.
Speaker 1: Saying, honestly, it's imp it's possible that it was none
Speaker 1: of this crap because she hadn't been indoctrinated into critical
Speaker 1: station point. She might have been a normal person when
Speaker 1: she was twenty five. That's possible. Yeah. Wow, Okay, we
Speaker 1: got a lot more on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: I needed a place in NYC to nap, so I
Speaker 4: looked up on Reddit where to napp and it was
Speaker 4: like all these things being like there's one secret room
Speaker 4: in this library that if you go at these hours,
Speaker 4: the guards aren't there. Until I read the best idea ever,
Speaker 4: which I did. I went to the movie theater, paid
Speaker 4: fifteen dollars for a ticket and slept in the recliner
Speaker 4: seats during the movie, popped in my earbuds, put on
Speaker 4: my beanie and I had one of the best naps
Speaker 4: of my life.
Speaker 1: That is a.
Speaker 2: Great idea, a reddit that lets you know all the
Speaker 2: good places you could nap. It reminds me of the
Speaker 2: Seinfeld episode where they were quizzing each other, like George
Speaker 2: Costanzo could tell you the closest public restroom, give me
Speaker 2: a spot, you know, twenty third and ninth, the Barnes
Speaker 2: and Noble bookstore. You know, just where people go to
Speaker 2: a public restroom. There need to be you know, Reddit
Speaker 2: things like that.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, that is I take a quick nap. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is apropos nothing. I wanted to squeeze it in.
Speaker 1: I mentioned it hours ago, but Mike and Missouri formerly
Speaker 1: Arkansas wrote, it's a really interesting note. We were talking
Speaker 1: about the Duggers and how that thing kind of fell
Speaker 1: apart and their problems in child molest station.
Speaker 2: Set that briefly because I'm not sure I even remember.
Speaker 2: Weren't they held up as something great by everybody for a.
Speaker 1: While reality show? That yeah, tons of the reality show, though.
Speaker 2: I think they became famous pre reality show because they
Speaker 2: had like, what eighteen kids or something. Obviously that gets
Speaker 2: a lot of attention. And they're supposed to be this
Speaker 2: just fantastic family that cared so much about this and that.
Speaker 2: Then there's reality ship. But then we found out there
Speaker 2: was a pretty ugly underbelly.
Speaker 1: Is that what happened? Yeah, Yeah, there's some some sickness
Speaker 1: definitely going on, including dad. I believe it was. But anyway,
Speaker 1: let me just read some of this. I have many
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Dugger news since I knew both the
Speaker 1: Duggers and Caldwell families, the ones involved in the latest scandal.
Speaker 1: I'd been to both of their churches homes and was
Speaker 1: part of the same cultish homeschool group with my kids.
Speaker 2: Right and my family never Yeah, that was part of
Speaker 2: the angle of lifting it up in the beginning was
Speaker 2: it was homeschool, very religious.
Speaker 1: And then he says he obviously has no sympathy for
Speaker 1: some of the bad things that were done, but he
Speaker 1: has a lot of sympathy for the family in general
Speaker 1: when it comes to the weirdness of fame and media
Speaker 1: twisting and exploit exploitation of it. And most of them
Speaker 1: are actually doing quite well, he says, But they're doing
Speaker 1: far better than I think could be expected based on
Speaker 1: the weirdness of fame they received as a large family
Speaker 1: that was selected for a show that made them rock
Speaker 1: stars overnight to homeschoolers, and objects of hate and scorn
Speaker 1: to a lot of the population. Just the small amount
Speaker 1: of tension attention I got from being a Dugger adjacent
Speaker 1: freaked me out a bit. We rented a home from
Speaker 1: them that was on the show often that Josh and
Speaker 1: Anna previously lived in, had randos pretend to run out
Speaker 1: of gas, come to my door regularly hoping to meet
Speaker 1: a Dugger, or stand out in the street taking pictures
Speaker 1: of my kids playing in the yard, even people becoming
Speaker 1: our friends to fish for Dugger info, elite to gossip
Speaker 1: sites about the Duggers. I finally moved us from that
Speaker 1: house when pictures of my kids were on an anti
Speaker 1: Dugger website where psychos make threats all the time. You know,
Speaker 1: I wrote back to Mike. Actually, I said, it's really
Speaker 1: interesting and troubling. Fame is a curse.
Speaker 2: The fact that so many people seek it is well dumb, yeah,
Speaker 2: or just they don't think about it or don't get it.
Speaker 2: Fame is a her that goes along with being successful
Speaker 2: at a visible job. I will I will put that
Speaker 2: as my my sentence to be engraved in granite. Why
Speaker 2: do so many people want to be famous? It's just
Speaker 2: a wanting too much of one level of Maslow's hierarchy
Speaker 2: of needs, the like belongingness or yeah, they want to
Speaker 2: be celebrated, they want to be admired.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Yeah, yep, they just and it's not dumb.
Speaker 1: That was a bad choice at words. They haven't reckoned
Speaker 1: with her, haven't heard about the really weird side of fame.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of it, not just that stuff,
Speaker 1: but any Hollywood star, any you know, sports star would
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm never sure if I'm actually friends with somebody,
Speaker 1: or they just want to drop my name or they
Speaker 1: want something from me, you know. Among among other problems, it's.
Speaker 2: Good Friday, maybe the most important day in the history
Speaker 2: of Western civilization.
Speaker 1: Whether you're religious or not. Talk about that coming up stair,
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: You are Christian, whether you know it or not. Actually
Speaker 2: you're Christian, even if you're Muslim or Jewish, even if
Speaker 2: you're an atheist. According to Tom Holland, who wrote the
Speaker 2: book Dominion, and he is a historian, and we talked
Speaker 2: about this fair amount a couple months ago he himself,
Speaker 2: I don't believe is I'm pretty sure he's not a
Speaker 2: believer himself.
Speaker 1: So you don't need to.
Speaker 2: As Christopher Hitchens used to say, you read some of
Speaker 2: these books and they sneak Jesus in through the back door,
Speaker 2: like they make all those arguments, and all of a
Speaker 2: suddenly they gotcha. Now you're stuck believing Jesus as a savior.
Speaker 2: That's not what Tom Holland is up to. He's just
Speaker 2: making the point that the crucifixion of Jesus is so
Speaker 2: important to Western society and the way that we look
Speaker 2: at the world that we all really are. The main
Speaker 2: dominating philosophy of Western society is Christian, and it is
Speaker 2: a Christian philosophy. So that's what happened on this This
Speaker 2: is Good Friday. So in case you're for some reason
Speaker 2: not raised in a way that you would know this.
Speaker 2: This is the day historically that Jesus was crucified. Then
Speaker 2: he discovered in an empty tomb Sunday three days from now,
Speaker 2: that's Easter Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's the way that works. Then appeared to his followers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what does Tom Holland mean by that? What
Speaker 2: was the big philosophy thing there and he started or
Speaker 2: these videos started making the round. This is after AOC
Speaker 2: she was over there in Germany at whatever conference thing
Speaker 2: they had going on there, and she mocked the idea
Speaker 2: of Western civilization being a thing. And then there's somebody
Speaker 2: else that made a similar comment or whatever, and the pushback, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there is something called Western civilization. And Tom Holland had
Speaker 2: written this book Dominion, about specifically how it comes out
Speaker 2: of the Crucifixion. He makes the argument that the cross
Speaker 2: is the most powerful symbol probably in the history of
Speaker 2: the world, for the amount of time that is had
Speaker 2: endured and had a meaning, and that previous two Jesus
Speaker 2: and the whole story of the Crucifixion, mankind had a
Speaker 2: very brute the strong.
Speaker 1: What is that saying?
Speaker 2: You're always using the strong do what they can, the
Speaker 2: week do to what they muster. Essentially, Yeah, strong do
Speaker 2: whatever they want and the week do what they will.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: And everybody was perfectly okay with that. They just thought
Speaker 2: that that was everybody's lot in life. That's the way
Speaker 2: it should be.
Speaker 1: I always.
Speaker 2: Remember, because I was confused by this saying from Bin Lawden.
Speaker 2: After nine to eleven there was this thing that went
Speaker 2: around with Ben lat and talking about how when two
Speaker 2: people see, when people see two horses fighting, they root
Speaker 2: for the strong horse when they see one horse is winning.
Speaker 2: And I always thought, no, I don't, and I don't
Speaker 2: think most people do.
Speaker 1: That is the Western philosophy, in that we tend to.
Speaker 2: If we see somebody strong brutalizing somebody weak, we're horrified
Speaker 2: by it.
Speaker 1: That is a new way to look at the world.
Speaker 2: Coming out of the Crucifixion of Jesus two thousand some
Speaker 2: years ago, in that the Crucifixion, crucifying people was a
Speaker 2: way for the Roman state, and this sort of thing
Speaker 2: had existed forever and still exists some places in the world,
Speaker 2: showing we're in charge.
Speaker 1: We the Romans are in charge.
Speaker 2: We make the rules, and this will what will happen
Speaker 2: to you if you disobey the rules. And so they
Speaker 2: would crucify people, which it was a horribly painful way
Speaker 2: to die, and they would.
Speaker 1: You were torturing them to death right of course, many
Speaker 1: hours here.
Speaker 2: And they would do it in public and leave those
Speaker 2: crosses hanging up on the outskirts of all the towns.
Speaker 2: So everybody, no, this is what happens if you crosses,
Speaker 2: and for whatever reason I guess, I guess just human nature.
Speaker 2: People were kind of well, you know, he had it coming.
Speaker 2: He was a thief, or he was in a you know,
Speaker 2: whatever the crime was, you went against the Romans. Tom
Speaker 2: Holland in his book he uses the example all the
Speaker 2: time of Caesar went up north into Europe, slaughtered a
Speaker 2: million people and came back a hero for having done that.
Speaker 2: Who would think in them, you know, in the Western
Speaker 2: civilization modern era hold that up as a great thing
Speaker 2: because you had a more powerful army, you went and
Speaker 2: slaughtered a million innocent people. Right, nobody would have hold
Speaker 2: that up, but that was that was the belief system
Speaker 2: of again, of human nature. You know, see kids and
Speaker 2: what bullies will do if somebody doesn't intervene, they'll just
Speaker 2: take charge. But the idea, well, the weak had it coming.
Speaker 2: The stronger came along. We root for the we root
Speaker 2: for the strong horse Caesar in our civilization that has
Speaker 2: better weapons, and the weak had to come.
Speaker 1: And they deserve that for being weak. You deserve it
Speaker 1: for being weak.
Speaker 2: We've all known people like that who kind of feel
Speaker 2: like kids that get picked on, well, they kind of
Speaker 2: have it coming because they're weak, which is just the Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just a disgusting idea. Well, the whole the weakest
Speaker 2: of the week, Jesus being crucified, being being resurrected, and
Speaker 2: then being held up of here is the weakest. Here's
Speaker 2: the lowest rising up against the most powerful, being a
Speaker 2: symbol of you know, the downtrodden have reasons to be
Speaker 2: respected and honored and valued in the same way that
Speaker 2: the powerful.
Speaker 1: Do, which was a completely new notion. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, and it's I happen to come across this
Speaker 1: from Galatians, that there's neither Jew nor Greek, slave, nor
Speaker 1: free male nor female when it comes to salvation. And
Speaker 1: without that notion, we hold.
Speaker 2: These truths to be self evident, that all men are
Speaker 2: created equal could not have been written. Nobody would have
Speaker 2: ever said that pre Christianity, very Christian notion. Tom Holland
Speaker 2: makes that specific point in his book about the Declaration
Speaker 2: of Independence. Yeah, and he doesn't the history in Tom
Speaker 2: Holland does a much better job of describing it in
Speaker 2: the book. If you want to read a thousand page book,
Speaker 2: or just check out any of his YouTube videos.
Speaker 1: There's a million of them describing.
Speaker 2: This whole philosophy that was brand new upon the world,
Speaker 2: the idea that the weak should be valued every bit.
Speaker 1: As much as the strong, well and equally American is
Speaker 1: the notion that Christianity screwed this up over and over again,
Speaker 1: because we're human beings. We screw everything up. But the
Speaker 1: notion that there is the Kingdom of God, then there's
Speaker 1: the kingdom on earth. The secular should not profane the sacred,
Speaker 1: and the sacred need not worry about the secular. That's
Speaker 1: obviously a very non Islamic way to look at the
Speaker 1: world too, but that absolutely informs our constitution. And you
Speaker 1: know that came straight out of the New Testament. Render
Speaker 1: un a Caesar, what is Caesar's under God? What is
Speaker 1: God's Yeah?
Speaker 2: And he actually talks a fair amount about Nietzschee and
Speaker 2: who more or less had the view of the strong
Speaker 2: get to do what they want and the week should
Speaker 2: suffer for being weak. That Hitler latched onto with that
Speaker 2: same sort of belief and just sharing the word the
Speaker 2: powerful and.
Speaker 1: Look at the.
Speaker 2: Whether you're handicapped or whatever your problem is, you're weak
Speaker 2: and you should be dispensed with, which is not the
Speaker 2: Christian view of things.
Speaker 1: Hitler actually thought he had a duty to mankind to eliminate,
Speaker 1: certainly to the German people. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, to eliminate
Speaker 1: to to its strengthen the herd in general. I just
Speaker 1: I think that example of Caesar is so interesting. There
Speaker 1: is no.
Speaker 2: Is there anywhere on Earth where you could still do that.
Speaker 2: Maybe there are some I don't know, I don't even
Speaker 2: want to mention any places, but maybe there are some
Speaker 2: places on Earth where you would still go out and
Speaker 2: slaughter the neighborhood village. And because you could do that,
Speaker 2: you're held up as Yeah, that's awesome, good for you.
Speaker 2: Those weak people, they haven't coming. That is definitely not
Speaker 2: a Western civ way of looking at things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nigeria right now, yesterday, we would all be horrified
Speaker 1: by that. Yeah. Yeah, I don't care what your political
Speaker 1: cause is. You wiped out the suburb next door. I mean,
Speaker 1: the entire country would turn a good against that person's cause,
Speaker 1: no matter how good it might be. Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 2: And so Holland says as a historian that that is
Speaker 2: the dominant philosophy on Earth for a couple thousand years,
Speaker 2: and we're all, oh, it's kind of like the fish
Speaker 2: don't know they are wet because we're swimming in that
Speaker 2: Christian view of the week versus strong and everything like that.
Speaker 1: We're just so used to it. People.
Speaker 2: You can be atheists, you can think Christianity is dumb
Speaker 2: and whatever you want to think. You're still living in
Speaker 2: a Christian world.
Speaker 1: As you've pointed out more than once, it's sometimes atheists
Speaker 1: who most have vehemently espouse the idea that we must
Speaker 1: help the downtrodden, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 2: She makes that point that the woke are Christian whether
Speaker 2: they know it or not, and it would probably really
Speaker 2: make them mad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Can I end on this note? Horse fights?
Speaker 2: Horse fights, right, You're putting horses together to fight, would
Speaker 2: be like dogfights, same sort of thing. And when you
Speaker 2: see the big tough dog tearing apart the little dog,
Speaker 2: you think, yeah, tear that week one apart. That's a
Speaker 2: different way of looking at the world. Yes, then we've
Speaker 2: been doing in Western civilis for a couple of thousand.
Speaker 1: Years, and that point of view would be manifest in
Speaker 1: a very very different form of government Tror, of course,
Speaker 1: which is Islamism Shariah, which is why I'm so vehemently
Speaker 1: against it. It's and its incursions into the West.
Speaker 2: It's interesting to me. I did go to a church
Speaker 2: every Sunday as a kid for many, many, many years.
Speaker 2: So where I go where the Western civilization philosophy got
Speaker 2: into me?
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
Speaker 2: If I had to come through the church. It might
Speaker 2: could have come through my parents or grandparents or friends whatever. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: you don't pick on little kids. That's that is the
Speaker 2: weakest thing you could do, is to pick on somebody
Speaker 2: who's weaker than.
Speaker 1: You, right, That is that is an incredible lack of character.
Speaker 2: That's the opposite of look at the tough dog, destroy
Speaker 2: the little dog. The little dog had it coming. And
Speaker 2: I mean that is a monumental change in philosophy. And
Speaker 2: that's what today Good Friday symbolizes. According to Tom Holland m.
Speaker 1: That is a really interesting, great book. Ye, it's it's.
Speaker 2: So troubling to think that that was the dominant philosophy
Speaker 2: for so long and could be again.
Speaker 1: If we can't hang out of this. I certainly don't
Speaker 1: want to offend anybody's religious beliefs, but I would say
Speaker 1: the history mankind would suggest that it's almost certainly going
Speaker 1: to be the brutality again unless we defend enlightenment. It
Speaker 1: needs to be defended. It's not the net back to
Speaker 1: the OFFICI doesn't know what's what. It's not the natural state
Speaker 1: of mankind. It's a miracle. Fight for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, we'll finish strong next.
Speaker 1: But listen to this.
Speaker 5: Hershey and I said they will soon go back to
Speaker 5: using chocolate for their Reese's products. This raise the way
Speaker 5: more questions than it answer.
Speaker 1: No kidding.
Speaker 2: Everyone about to give their kid an Easter basket full
Speaker 2: of Reess is like great timing?
Speaker 1: What no kidding? What is our what is? What is it?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: You don't want to know? Apparently not. Well, it's like
Speaker 1: cheese whizz or whatever is pasteurized cheese food. I mean
Speaker 1: it's look, we came up with it in the lab.
Speaker 1: It looks like chocolate. It tastes more or less like chocolate,
Speaker 1: just to eat it. So so go ahead, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say. Another humorist but not making jokes. Greg Guttfeldt
Speaker 1: took on one of our favorite topics lately, the Go
Speaker 1: Go power couple from California. The newsoms see what he
Speaker 1: had to say.
Speaker 7: Here's the voices to stand out and speak out when
Speaker 7: they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and
Speaker 7: misogyny around them. I am a truth seeker and they
Speaker 7: need to know the truth.
Speaker 1: They need to know the truth what that Their mom
Speaker 1: is just as fully is their dad.
Speaker 5: Hey mom, Hey mom, can we go to Disney World? No, kids,
Speaker 5: We're off to shame white people in Alabama. These two
Speaker 5: are not a power couple. They're just a better looking
Speaker 5: version of Jim and Tammy fay Baker Shelf, promoting egotists
Speaker 5: who gained the system by seizing control of it. And
Speaker 5: the scariest part is this is the best the DEM's got.
Speaker 1: Everybody's latched onto that on the right now his will yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That might keep him from running. It could, and he
Speaker 2: might not even tell. He might not even be honest
Speaker 2: with his own wife about why he decides not drying
Speaker 2: because he can say I just decided I didn't want
Speaker 2: to put the kids through it, not because I found
Speaker 2: out there a lot a lot of stuff you've said
Speaker 2: over the years, and I'm gonna have to answer for
Speaker 2: it and ain't gonna be Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, honey, you know the part of the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party the ninety percent of Americans say they hate, uh,
Speaker 1: you're it.
Speaker 2: You're that, you're like you have become already the symbol
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Love you, babe, But yeah, all those things, that's that's
Speaker 1: what you say all the time.
Speaker 2: You're the queen of the part of the party that
Speaker 2: Bill Maher and others say keeps us from winning elections.
Speaker 1: Yes, I wonder, given the the the sexual fever that
Speaker 1: egomaniacs have for getting to the White House, it could
Speaker 1: leads you to you know, we all rationalize things all
Speaker 1: day long. But I wonder can he rationalize away having
Speaker 1: his wife just become a national laughing stock saying no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'll call them out. I'll say she's not the candidate
Speaker 1: I am, and that'll stop it. Because he's so I mean,
Speaker 1: I often say, like a seventeen year old is lustful
Speaker 1: for the gentle touch of a woman. I just I
Speaker 1: wonder whether he can put aside.
Speaker 2: That would not work, That would not work, That would
Speaker 2: not work. I mean, it might work if you had
Speaker 2: a spouse who you know, had some baggage. But she's
Speaker 2: not political. She says, you know, hey, I'm the president,
Speaker 2: but she she is going to be uh we're running
Speaker 2: you know, as co presidents.
Speaker 1: She's going to be that type. Well, not only that,
Speaker 1: but she believes she's on a whatever the secular equivalent
Speaker 1: of a sacred mission is, She's on a sacred mission
Speaker 1: to spread her philosophy to everyone. So she's not going
Speaker 1: to want to let him back out. She's gonna be like, no,
Speaker 1: We're gonna fight for what we believe, which is woke nonsense.
Speaker 1: Hey kids, it's that time again.
Speaker 4: With Armstrong and Buddy.
Speaker 2: Here's your oath for final thoughts, Joe Getty, let's get
Speaker 2: a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap
Speaker 2: up the day of the week.
Speaker 1: Mike Lenge Low lead us off. Which final thought?
Speaker 6: All right, this is for adults that are going to
Speaker 6: an Easter egg hunt. Let the little kids get the eggs.

Speaker 1: Oh boy, And then he would try to make a
Speaker 1: point and she'd go m passive, aggressive, hell is what
Speaker 1: I'm missing. Yeah yeah, Jack.
Speaker 2: A final thought for us has a good reminder, Michael.
Speaker 2: After all of my Western civilization Christianity values the week
Speaker 2: stuff earlier this hour. I was the MC of a
Speaker 2: giant Easter egg hunt one time, and watching moms push
Speaker 2: down little kids to get more candy for their own
Speaker 2: kid was one of the most horrible things I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was horrible, Katie. It was a radio promotion.
Speaker 2: Mom's just like elbowing down little kids so they could
Speaker 2: get ridiculous amounts of candy. I mean, more than you
Speaker 2: could ever need in your life though.

Speaker 1: National Championship game on Monday, Monday. Monday, yeah, Monday. And
Speaker 1: if they win, that will reflect well on me and
Speaker 1: make me cooler as an individual.
Speaker 2: And if they lose, will we get some sort of
Speaker 2: sto sports or a stupid waste of time screed? Uh?
Speaker 2: Probably yeah yeah, armstrong and giddy wrapping of but other
Speaker 2: grueling for our work day.
Speaker 1: I got a worthless degree from them forty years ago.
Speaker 1: So many people to think so.
Speaker 2: A little time, Good Armstrong, Giddy dot com, God bless America.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty a.
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. I've been working on this should have paid
Speaker 1: less attention to song and more attention to jong ill
