1 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Petty and he arms Ronget. I have a moral dilemma 4 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. We'll have to discuss momentary early 5 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: in the day, for it really is live from Studio 6 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: C see san a dimly lit room deeper than the 7 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey 8 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: y'all today on Tuesday, we're under the tutelage of our 9 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: general manager. So many choices today. You have no idea 10 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: the pressures face and choosing the general manager on a 11 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: day like today where the smug Ignoramus Jimmy Kimmel comes 12 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: back to TV. You've got the whole tail and all 13 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: autism press conference yesterday, which was something else. You got 14 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff going on. But we've got to 15 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: go with this our general manager. The United Nations the 16 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: greatest ratio of expense to productivity in the history of mankind. Yeah, 17 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: no kidding, As George Bush once called them, a meaningless 18 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: debating society, which is pretty close to true, meaningless and 19 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: incredibly expensive debating society. Yes, and what did you call Kimmel? 20 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: That was appropriate? Smug Ignoramus, He's smug anyway. If you're 21 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: like a Douglas Murray type, Doug is a little smug. 22 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: I've been accused of smugging this myself, But Douglas Murray's brilliant, 23 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant. If you're Neil Ferguson, you're a little smug. Okay, 24 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. If you're Jimmy Kimmel, 25 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: your dumb as a dog. You don't know anything about anything. 26 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: You just got a few talking points you saw on 27 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Blue Sky. And yet he comes off like the master 28 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: of all, you know, the subtlety of thought. Hey, before 29 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: I get to my dilemma, I'll never understand why the 30 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: late night talk shows get so much conversation at all. 31 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: I was gonna trust it off yesterdayar it really is. 32 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: It's a hangover from when those shows matter. I was 33 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: gonna try to see if Chat and GPT could come 34 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: up with me for a list of other shows that 35 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: have an audience of a million. I'll bet there are 36 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: fifty shows with an audience the same size that you've 37 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: never even heard the name, let alone watched. That would 38 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: be amusing yeah, I'll bet you're right, because it's like 39 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: a million people that watch each of those shows, so 40 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: whipping cares. I got bad news for you, America. Johnny 41 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Carson is passed and will not return. Letterman still kicking, 42 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: but will not right. I don't know. If it's a 43 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: moral dilemma, if it's a courage dilemma, I don't know. 44 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, So, there was a street person standing at 45 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: the front door of the building when I was walking in. 46 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: If that always gets your day off to him still 47 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: there a good adrenaline soaked start. Well, he was right 48 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: at there at the front door, and I thought, I'm 49 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: gonna open the door and he's gonna follow me in? 50 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: Is it my job to push him back out? Do 51 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: I let him walk in the building where he then 52 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: has free run of the entire building? Almost certainly a 53 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: crazed drug addict. I mean, what am I supposed to 54 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: do here? Luckily he turned away when I went in 55 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: the door because I don't know, his dog was talking 56 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: to him or whatever, and he got distracted. But would 57 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: what would you do? Would you let him follow you in? 58 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not well, you're shaping your head, Michael. 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: What would you do. I agree we shouldn't let him 60 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: come in, But what would you do? Are you gonna say, 61 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sir, you can't come in Like you're in 62 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: charge of security? Do you have an appointment? I once 63 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: asked a guy who was making it clear that he 64 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: was going to follow me in because I had a 65 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: key fob and he didn't, you know, prior to the 66 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: crackadaw on, And I said, do you have a reason 67 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: to be in the building or something like that, and 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, I'm with the crew remodeling up on 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: the fourth floor. Okay, but he probably didn't look like 70 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: a crazed street person. Good point. Yeah, he was definitely scruffy, 71 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: but kind of you know, working man scruffy, right, yeah, 72 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: construction guy. I would I would I have said that 73 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: to people. Well, And he had the look of you 74 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: could have a conversation with right. This guy had the 75 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: look of there's no conversation to be had, right. Uh, Katie, 76 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: you duck in and you hold the door closed until 77 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: it clicked. I shoulder, That magnetic thing kicks back in shoulder. 78 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: I pulled the door closed. Hang on a stiff farm. 79 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: I've been in this exact situation, and I walked around 80 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: the building to the other door just to avoid it. 81 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: You know, that's not a bad idea, right there, that's 82 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: not a bad I read there. I sniff arm him 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: right in the beer, right right, snap his head back. 84 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: I did the thing I often do when I approach 85 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: a street person. I taped. Okay, I do have my 86 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: knife with me if I end up in a fight 87 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: for my life, because that's just part of the world 88 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: we've created where you have to semi regularly wonder. I 89 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: wonder if I'm about to be in a fight for 90 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: my life because you get to just hang around as 91 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: a crazy person. Bums and junkies everywhere in America. You 92 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: can have this too. Vote Kevin Newsom at twenty eight 93 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: No kidding, all right, So Hanson, what would you do? 94 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: You let him follow you in or do you become 95 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: you know, I'm the cop, Hanson's cop all the way 96 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: you've been spending all that time in a gym. Come 97 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: on now, just don't feel like report of my job 98 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: description to fight my way in the door and keep 99 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: pop and keep junkies out right, Hanson suggested a lake 100 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: kick to the back of the thigh. Oh yeah, sweeping 101 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: leg kick one of these. Yeah exactly. Oh yeah, that's 102 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: a good maneuver. See I had to let him in 103 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: and put in a put him in a competing radio station, 104 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: so just there you go. Put him in the other studio. 105 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: I told him, here, press that button that turns the 106 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: mic on. Hef the breeze is down the hall, Go 107 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: in there and say whatever you want to those people. Ye. Yeah, 108 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I probably wouldn't have let him follow 109 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: me in, just out of my own safety. But right, 110 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: so that's enough of that. Trump is speaking at the 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: UN today. Who knows what he will say and if 112 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: it makes any difference whatsoever. I don't think it's good 113 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: news that all these countries have joined in with there 114 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: needs to be a Palestinian state. It certainly gives Israel 115 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: less cover in coming days, months, and years anytime they're 116 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: trying to do anything if the whole world says, hey, 117 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: there's supposed to be a country there, right. I read 118 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: some great analysis. I wish I'd come up with this myself, 119 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: but it it made it clear that all of these 120 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: recognitions of the Palestinian state, whatever the hell that means, 121 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: is purely a gesture of disapproval toward Israel. It is 122 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: purely a punishment of Israel because the Macrones of the world, 123 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: the keer Starmer's whatever halfwit is in charge of Canada 124 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: right now, they know there's no Palestinian state and aren't 125 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: going to be. It is a truly and merely symbolic gesture. Yeah, 126 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: I'd say so. Like all the questions you had yesterday, Okay, uh, 127 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: what are the boundaries? What's the government? 128 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: Uh? 129 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: What are their laws? Tell me about this Palestinian state 130 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: of yours? WHOA well, when do you suggest it starts? Well? Right, yeah, 131 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: And it's it's more than a little disturbing that world leaders, 132 00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: including our feckless allies, engage in that sort of foolish 133 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: isn't aren't there you know, I'm asking the good folks. 134 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Aren't there enough real problems out there without people engaging 135 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: in that sort of useless cynical symbolism. Well, part of 136 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: it is just to buy off their own Muslim populations 137 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: and their own progressive left, just to try to neutralize 138 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: that to whatever extent they can. But I tell you what, 139 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, whether in life are in politics, you compromise 140 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: your principles to buy off you know, one constituency or 141 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: another enough and you end up putting no principles. A 142 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: little bit later, I took in a podcast yesterday with 143 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: a person who is an expert and written a book 144 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: about your mass shooters, assassin type people that do the 145 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: high profile, spectacular killings of themselves and others, and it's 146 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: what it's worth. I ran into the same thing. I 147 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: found it fascinating. Yeh, yeah, I'd say so. So we'll 148 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: take a look at that fits in with, you know, 149 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: some of the events that have happened in recent weeks. Absolutely. Yeah, 150 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm anxious to hear your your favorite parts of it 151 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: are the most intriguing parts to you, because again I 152 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: thought it was super insightful. And there's one other thing 153 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to tease. I don't remember. It was Keith 154 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: Oberman's an a hole. But that's not really new news. No, 155 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: that's not a tease. In addition to what he said 156 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: last week, Keith Oberman, he used to have a very 157 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: highly rated show on MSNBC. Okay, we'll get into that 158 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: more later. Uh. The the biggest carrier of Kimmel affiliates 159 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: says they're not gonna air Kimmel the Second hasn't made 160 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: a choice yet, haven't hasn't publicized that choice yet, hasn't 161 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: publicized it. That's an excellent distinction. But so we'll see 162 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: how that plays out throughout the day. Lots of stuff 163 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: on the way, Katie's headlines on the way. Next, here's 164 00:09:52,720 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: our text line four one five nine five KFTC.

I got a follow 333 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: up on the banning marriages among first cousins in Connecticut. 334 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: Gotta follow on that story. Didn't see that coming from 335 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: one angle of the controversy. That actually what makes sense 336 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: to me. Why would you ban gay first cousins from 337 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: getting married. It's all about having kids, So I can't 338 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: a couple of dudes who are first cousins who fall 339 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: in love with each other a little weird, uh, decided 340 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: to get married. Why not make Thanksgiving dinner a little uncomfortable. 341 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: That's where the controversy comes in. So anyway, more on 342 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: that and a whole bunch of other stuff later. Wow. Okay, So, 343 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: speaking of controversies, I found this very interesting, particularly because 344 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: we got a couple of females asking about it. Uh. 345 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: You remember the Colorado bake shop who refused to make 346 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: a gag for a gay wedding, And there have been 347 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: a couple other cases like this. There was a giant 348 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling, right and which what did they rule 349 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: that he could say no to making the cake? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, 350 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: And I'm getting to that it was made a huge 351 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: cause by the left who was screaming no, it's discrimination, 352 00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: and what the Supreme Court decided quite correctly in my opinion, 353 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: And I don't have the decisions in front of me, 354 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: So forgive me if my paraphrasing is a little off, 355 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: actual attorneys, But if you are asking somebody to engage 356 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: in create the creative arts, an act of sell of 357 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: expression and creation, as opposed to say, pressing go on 358 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: a copy machine, they cannot be compelled to engage in 359 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: that speech because compelled speech is as bad as censored speech. 360 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: So you cannot force me to write a song or well, 361 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: you cannot compel me to agree to write a song 362 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: zorin mum, danmi will save New York. I won't do it. 363 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: I won't take money for it. I won't create that. 364 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: And that's good because the First Amendment protects you against 365 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: compel spe But you couldn't say I won't sell you 366 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 1: this cardboard to make signs, because that's a commodity. It's 367 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: not a creative expression. So you got this case in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 368 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: one of our more amusingly named cities in America. Kalamazoo. 369 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: Here's this twenty one year old duty. He's the head 370 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: of the Kalamazoo Young Republicans. He's running errands, getting ready 371 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: for a vigil honoring Charlie Kirk. One of his stops 372 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: was at his local office depot to print a poster 373 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: that was a picture of Charlie in black and white 374 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: and said the legendary Charlie Kirk nineteen ninety three twenty five. 375 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: And some folks there at the home depot refused to 376 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: print it, calling it propaganda. Okay, so two and a 377 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: home depot fired the employees initiative of public apology. So 378 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: there are two levels of two questions here. One is 379 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: the first time men, sure they did, I'm sure they've 380 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: got Hey, just if somebody comes in and wants to 381 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 1: make just make the freaking copy and send them up 382 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: a Dorria, freaking morh, nobody cares what you think, and 383 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: concluding me, I think you are go go. So anyway, 384 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: there's two questions here. The first one is the First 385 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: Amendment question, which I think I've more or less dealt with. 386 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: Pressing go on copy machine is not the same as 387 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: painting a portrait, writing a song, painstakingly decorating a cake, 388 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 1: which is an artistic expression. And the second question is, 389 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: and there are people on the left saying, oh, you conservatives, 390 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: you're defending the baker, blah blah blah. But no, are 391 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: these poor guys you can fire from the home people. No. 392 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: The second question is does a giant corporation must they 393 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: employ jackasses? We will say, I'm not hitting go on 394 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: this printer couse, I don't like your politics. It's a 395 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: completely different question. I would suggest that a bakery that's 396 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: not a owned and operated by the cake decorator. But 397 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: if it's some big industrial bakery, I'm working for one 398 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: of the big grocery stores that also does cake decorator. 399 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: Costco does, don't they anyway? Uh? If I'm a cake 400 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: decorator for Costco and I say, well, sorry, not going 401 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: to decorate that cake for gay fellaws. Costco has every 402 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: right to say, well that we do here and you 403 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: work for us, so goobye, and then you can go 404 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: ahead and start your own business where you can make 405 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: that choice. But there's a difference between making it for 406 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: yourself and making it for your employer. And you don't 407 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: want to live in a world where you know either 408 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: one of those things doesn't apply. So I couldn't. By 409 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: the way, you got a job at office depot. It's 410 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: not like you're the shortstop for the Yankees. You know, 411 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: there are other jobs out there. Go somewhere they love 412 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: you at. Get out of here. Well, I think in general, 413 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: I think it should be easier to fire people. Just 414 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, I don't like I don't like your attitude. 415 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: You know, you shouldn't have to like document it over 416 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: six months whatever. That's a that's a perfectly reasonable reason 417 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: to get rid of people don't like you just did. 418 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: It makes the workplace on front hard to work with. Yeah, 419 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: so you raise our stress and your lower product, so 420 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: you get goo bye. AnyWho. So I couldn't like just 421 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: not like it's a wedding cake. I'm not decorating at all. 422 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: I'd say, I'm not selling a wedding cake to you 423 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: with your gay marriage. You can't do that, right, It's 424 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: a private, little individual. I'm a one man cake shop. Yeah, 425 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: that's a commodity. It's not a creative expression. Okay, So 426 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: that's the that's because people always use the example of 427 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: not serving black people at a soda counter or whatever. Right, yeah, exactly. 428 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: Now you might pour that soda with love and dedication, 429 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: but it's not a creative expression. It's different. And and 430 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: again it's protecting the preciousness of free speech, which is 431 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: something of my many g hods. That's right at the top, 432 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: which is why I'm vocally harshly critical of what the 433 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: Trump administration is doing right now. I don't like it. 434 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: There needs to be it's like we've talked about, there 435 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: needs to be something called super guilty, where it's just 436 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: like you're so incredibly obviously guilty in so many different ways, 437 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: just like, let's skip the trial and execute I mean, right, 438 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: super guilty. There needs to be super a hole or 439 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: something like that. The sort of person who would refuse 440 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: to print some up with Charlie Kirk poster, You're just 441 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: a jerk. I don't want you around anything. I don't 442 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: want you involved in my kids little league. I don't 443 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: want you in my neighborhood. I just you're just an 444 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: a hole. Yes, and there are a lot of them 445 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: these days. And here's another great way to look at 446 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: what I was describing before. If that person, the aforementioned 447 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: a hole, according to mister Armstrong, were to say to 448 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: the guy printing the Charlie Kirk poster, Okay, i'll print 449 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: it for you, but I hated Charlie Kirk and I 450 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: think your politics suck. You have a one hundred percent 451 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: ironclad First Amendment right to say that, and Home Deepost 452 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: should fire you on the spot. Yeah, because Home Depot 453 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: is not the federal government. They're your employer. Well, I 454 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't want them as an employee. Well, switching around because 455 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, too many people in an instagree with this. 456 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: If I work somewhere and somebody's coming in and mom 457 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: Dommy's a good idea, they got their big mom Dammy poster, 458 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: I don't get to say no, I don't like mom Dommy, 459 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: so I'm not printing your poster. I mean, it's ridiculous. 460 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: I might say he's a commedy scumbag who's going to 461 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: ruin New York. Thank you for your business. But then 462 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: when my boss came to me and said, hey, malthe mcmotherson, 463 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: I need you to see me in my office. Hey 464 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: did you can't come as a shock. But what about 465 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: free speech? I would say as an ignoramus, Hey, Jimmy 466 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: notes skills. How about you just do what you're told 467 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: until you develop some skills. The trained monkeys are about 468 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: a day away from being ready. Do you get my meeting? 469 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: All right?

I mean, I mean, and I've had no 501 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: skilled jobs. I was sorting nails at a big hardware 502 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: store when I was a college graduate for a while. 503 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: All right, that's about a lowest skilled job as you 504 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: can and I should have had no role in making 505 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: any decisions on behalf of the corporation as a guy 506 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: who brought to the company the skill of telling a 507 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: big nail from a small nail and put them in 508 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: different piles. Yeah, literally trained monkey work, Yes, which I 509 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: have done myself, trust me, right, right, right? What was 510 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: I gonna say? It seemed important at the time trained 511 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: monkeys nails the constitution. You could train a monkey to 512 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: short nails, probably be better at it. Oh, I know 513 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: what I was gonna say, Well, it would certainly, you know, 514 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: if you gave it a banana every now and again 515 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: or some grapes, probably be happy as can be. The 516 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: generation or the sort of person who is so emotional 517 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: about their political beliefs and so convinced that anybody who 518 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: would print a Charlie Kirk poster is a monster and 519 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: to be opposed is a very progressive thing. It's more 520 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: common on the progressive side, I think than the conservative side, 521 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: although there certainly I've known plenty of fairly obligerent conservatives 522 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: who'd say what they thought, but that idea, that look, 523 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: there's somebody who disagrees with me. I can't stand it. 524 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: I just don't get that. Well, we need to move 525 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: away from that. You're talking about people on both sides. 526 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: How about we stop doing that. And you know what 527 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk might even say is he'd print it and say, 528 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, I find this character to be divisive and 529 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: some stuff he said was like line hateful to me? 530 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: Why do you like him? And not in a attacking way, 531 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: but a curious way, even although I'd prefer you not 532 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: do it on company time. Here at the home depot, 533 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: the paper clips need sorting and it's Jack stay off. 534 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: Bosa's out for the season. What Nick Bosa? He's out 535 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: for this superstar San Francisco, forty first place, undefeated, forty 536 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: nine ers. He's out for the season with a torn 537 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: acl That sucks, got it. That's the worst part of 538 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, the NFL has got a lot 539 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: going forward. It's the number one sport by far, But 540 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: the worst part of it is so many of the 541 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: good players get hurt. Yeah, god dang it, that sucks. Anyway, 542 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: we got email on the way and a whole bunch 543 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: of other different topics to get to. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel 544 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: is gonna be back on the air Tonet. That's gonna 545 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: be hard to take. He's gonna be so self satisfied 546 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: and smug all of the apology. Did they brow beat 547 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: him into making that'll be He's not making one, right. 548 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: Do you think he'll really cry? The news was yesterday 549 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: he said he is not part of the agreement. Was 550 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: he is not going to apologize. Wow, okay, well, keep 551 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: in mind this is utterly insignificant. Okay, stay tuned. Well, 552 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: Fat Bear Week is back. I kind of remember this 553 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: from last year Fat Bear Week, where there some website 554 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: has a couple of fat bears and you vote on him, 555 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: and then that bear goes on to in the bracket 556 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: to face the next fat bear that people hiking. People 557 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: vote on it. Fat You remember that from last year? 558 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: I kind of was a full year ago. Yeah, or 559 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: maybe it seems more recent because didn't like last year's 560 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: champion croak or something. I do not know this. I 561 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: did not know this matter Fat Bear Week. We'll have 562 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: to come up with the link for that. She can 563 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: get involved. She's like, yes, here's your freedom loving quote 564 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: of the day. 565 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: For more. 566 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: Well, I'll go with this one of a tree, especially 567 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: one of the long living hardwood trees is a gift 568 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: which you can make to posterity and almost no costing, 569 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: with almost no trouble. And if the tree takes root, 570 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: it will far outlive the visible effect of any of 571 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: your other actions, good or evil. It's an interesting thought. 572 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: I was walking through the forest on our big hike 573 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: over the weekend, and redwood forest here in northern California, 574 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: and you know, those trees are hundreds of years old. 575 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: They were growing when George Washington was president. It's just 576 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: a stunning thought, hitting things in perspective. Ye, I've heard 577 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: the planting of trees that will be enjoyed long after 578 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: you're gone as a it's a great metaphor for being 579 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: a good citizen. Voting for things and policies are like 580 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: planting those trees. I mean the opposite would be, I 581 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: don't know, spending your children and grandchildren into oblivion. That 582 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: would be the opposites of the good thing to do. 583 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh, I'm sorry. That was discouraging. I'm discouraged. Scourge. 584 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: Everybody's scourge. I apologize. Mailbag. Let's see mail bag at 585 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Giddy dot com is the email address. A 586 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: lot of short emails today, Sean guys that social media 587 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: is called blue Sky. I figured it was pronounced blue 588 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: sky like Rusky during the Cold War. Feels like a 589 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: better fit, and I don't think they disagree with the 590 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 1: implication blue sky. Let's see, this is David talking about 591 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: how bad network news is. Then we heard plenty about 592 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: Jackie the Bear. Joe, how'd you do at your golf tournament? 593 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: Just fine? Played fine, had a great time, solid friends, 594 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: enjoyed the beauty of Monterey, California. A too much, drank 595 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: too much, it was fantastic in the pack. Finished I'm 596 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: nearly killed by a bear. And you equate that with 597 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: how was Joe's golf round? Yes, that's correct. Let's see, 598 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: Sheila right. Jack was sharing with us as efforts to 599 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: get rid of his RBF and replace it with his new, 600 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: heavily practiced happy face. I do it all the time, constantly. 601 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: Now recalling how Davy Crockett famously grinned down a bar, 602 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: I'm wondering why Jack didn't just fire up his new 603 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: happy face an attempt to grin down that bar. Yeah, 604 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: it's a good question, Shield exactly. I wasn't exactly sure 605 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: what to do, but I was not sticking my head 606 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: out of that tent flap. No, no, no, no. I 607 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: mean a tent isn't much of a barrier, but at 608 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: least the bear doesn't know where to swing its mighty claws, 609 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: right if you're inside the tent. Yeah, what a chilling 610 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: moment on the top of my name my underwear too. 611 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: I can't fight a bear in my underwear. It's undignified. 612 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: Right on the topic of young Erica Kirk, do you 613 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: think missus Kirk for giving that man who shot her 614 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: husband paves the way for Utah to not see the 615 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: death penalty. No, absolutely not. I feel her near future 616 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: will be on the Vance Kirk presidential ticket. That's an 617 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: interesting thing. She may have no interest in that.
