Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong and.
Speaker 2: Decide and he arm Strong and Eddy.
Speaker 3: I think there's a mistake on the bill, but maybe
Speaker 3: you can help me out. We got a bill and
Speaker 3: then we realized that you guys didn't have our insurance,
Speaker 3: so we we sent you the insurance and it looks
Speaker 3: like the bill went up.
Speaker 2: It went up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first the first bill we got without the
Speaker 3: insurance was six hundred bucks and then the second one
Speaker 3: was almost thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's that first and was you received. That's
Speaker 4: a discount that you received if you're uninsured, right, so
Speaker 4: you're not elegi a discount since you are insured.
Speaker 3: Can I go back to the discount without the insurance?
Speaker 4: So you're insured, so eligible for the discount if.
Speaker 3: I go cancel my insurance, Am I eligible for the discount?
Speaker 4: No? Because we checked eligibility and you do have active
Speaker 4: coverage for data service.
Speaker 3: Oh, I needed to cancel it before I got the
Speaker 3: service to get the discount.
Speaker 4: You're only eligible for the discount if you're uninsured.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'll get cheaper healthcare if I'm uninsured.
Speaker 4: This is a new law of past service started twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four AB seven six. And your law, you receive
Speaker 4: a discount if you're uninsured.
Speaker 1: At least the guy on the phone, A, you could
Speaker 1: understand him, and B he was pretty well versed in
Speaker 1: the topic. But yeah, and if you're on a government
Speaker 1: quote unquote insurance program, you'll get a discount much lower
Speaker 1: than both of those.
Speaker 5: This happens in lots of realms. I've had this happen
Speaker 5: with cars. Are you paying cash for this? You're running
Speaker 5: through an insurance because if we run it through your insurance,
Speaker 5: we're going to charge like nine hundred dollars, But if
Speaker 5: you're paying for it, it's like four hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 5: Because I don't care. You don't care what I charge
Speaker 5: your insurance company, and I can just charge them as
Speaker 5: much and they don't care because it's part of a
Speaker 5: whole scam.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The theme continues that we've enunciated a couple times today
Speaker 1: of in particular progressive policies that ignore the basic fundamentals
Speaker 1: of human behavior. For instance, where there is third party payment,
Speaker 1: there is waste and bloat and apathy. It was back
Speaker 1: to It was a Milton Friedman who put it so simply, ineloquently.
Speaker 1: You know, there's three four ways of spending money. You
Speaker 1: spending money on yourself, you care about value and quality.
Speaker 1: You spending money on someone else you care about value
Speaker 1: but less about quality. Someone else spending your money blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. And by the time you get to somebody
Speaker 1: else spending somebody else's money for somebody else, they don't
Speaker 1: give half an ass about quality or efficiency, right, And
Speaker 1: that is like trillions and trillions of dollars of well,
Speaker 1: it is government spending.
Speaker 2: Ikram.
Speaker 1: So is progressivism actually a mental disorder? Coming up in
Speaker 1: a moment or two, we'll have a case study and
Speaker 1: we'll let you decide. Wow, a couple of headlines just
Speaker 1: worth touching on, and especially because you just won't get
Speaker 1: them from the mainstream media. Pete Hegseeth has ordered a
Speaker 1: force wide review of existing fitness and grooming standards. We
Speaker 1: must remain vigilant in maintaining the standards that enable the
Speaker 1: men and women of our military to protect the American
Speaker 1: people in our homeland as the world's most lethal and
Speaker 1: effective fighting force.
Speaker 2: Hegxeth said, just a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1: Our adversaries are not growing weaker, and our tasks are
Speaker 1: not growing less challenging.
Speaker 5: No doubt about that. Fitness, I get, what's the grooming part?
Speaker 5: Just a question of discipline. His whole philosophy is we
Speaker 5: we're an organizational war fighters. We're not a jobs program,
Speaker 5: We're not a bureaucracy. We're war fighters. We've been saying
Speaker 5: that for years.
Speaker 1: And he goes into a bunch of you know, specific
Speaker 1: because for instance, quote because in those ground combat roles,
Speaker 1: what is true is that the weight of the rock
Speaker 1: on your back does not change. The weight of the
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five rounds that you have to carry,
Speaker 1: does not change the weight of the two forty Bravo
Speaker 1: machine gun you might have to carry, does not change.
Speaker 1: So why in the world have we changed the fitness standards?
Speaker 1: And so whether it is a man or a woman,
Speaker 1: they have to meet the same high standards. He said
Speaker 1: in front of the Senate.
Speaker 2: Obbs it should be, but it's not to a lot
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, he said, look, where is that quote? There
Speaker 1: are a couple that I really like that I don't see.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Essentially, he said, we need to be fat, not fit,
Speaker 1: or fit not fat.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: Our troops will look sharp, not sloppy. We seek only quality,
Speaker 1: not quotas. And this steers into was it Hexas or
Speaker 1: somebody else wrote a great editorial about how we need
Speaker 1: to ret turned to the theme of be all you
Speaker 1: can be, be excellent, be better than you thought you
Speaker 1: could be, whether it's in the Marines or another service.
Speaker 6: Not.
Speaker 2: Hey, here's a pretty cush job.
Speaker 1: And we hardly turn anybody down, which had become part
Speaker 1: of the culture.
Speaker 2: Right anyway, I love it.
Speaker 1: Do you see the team track runner who bashed her
Speaker 1: opponent's head with a baton?
Speaker 5: I did. I didn't follow the story though the runner
Speaker 5: was claiming it was an accident. I didn't watch the video.
Speaker 5: Is it pretty obvious to you that she hit her
Speaker 5: on the head on purpose?
Speaker 1: I did not have a shade of doubt in my
Speaker 1: mind that she smashed the other girl on the head. Really,
Speaker 1: but she the smasher has gone on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2: How do you think you're gonna get away with that?
Speaker 1: And the NAACP has also taken up her cause, which
Speaker 1: doesn't help it the.
Speaker 2: Race issue in the vaulter.
Speaker 1: Both folks involved are black girls, but she says they
Speaker 1: strike occurred because she got stuck behind tuck that's the wacky,
Speaker 1: and lost her balance after a couple times of hitting her,
Speaker 1: My baton got stuck behind her back like this and
Speaker 1: it rolled up her back. I lost my balance. When
Speaker 1: I pumped my arms again, she got hit. I know
Speaker 1: my intentions and I would never hit someone on purpose.
Speaker 5: She moved her head in front of my baton while
Speaker 5: I was swinging it to get a bee away from me.
Speaker 1: I have an odd way of running. It includes swinging
Speaker 1: of my baton into the next lane. And then she
Speaker 1: cites online threats and insults. That's irrelevant. I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: hear that happen, but that's irrelevant to your guilt or not.
Speaker 5: Who are you nut jobs that everybody that makes the
Speaker 5: news you figure out how to reach them and threaten them.
Speaker 1: Who are you people? Weak trolls? Plays? Build something in
Speaker 1: your life? Moving along? Oh, she's been charged with AsSalt
Speaker 1: and battery, but how she suggize it?
Speaker 5: So they're running the relay, she gets a baton, she
Speaker 5: hits the other chick in the head. Does she go down? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes down hard cushion possible skull fraction.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, it's quite the It looks like a
Speaker 1: beating to me. But Trump borders are Tom Holman ventured
Speaker 1: to Albany, the capital of New York, Wednesday, to stand
Speaker 1: with state Republicans and to blast Democrats for what he
Speaker 1: says there was their pro illegal immigration policies. Homan criticized
Speaker 1: the governor, Kathy Hokeel and state Democrats for interfering with
Speaker 1: federal immigration enforcement, pointing out that it was flouting the law,
Speaker 1: it was dangerous to law enforcement, and they're bad Americans.
Speaker 1: In short, So Homan on the warpath and I love it.
Speaker 2: We're on in Buffalo now.
Speaker 5: I noticed we've gained some Twitter followers recently, and I
Speaker 5: was just kind of going through the list and at
Speaker 5: least one person from Buffalo who obviously had started listening.
Speaker 5: Thank you, sir and joined our Twitter following. Awesome love
Speaker 5: upstate New York.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I do spend a lot of time there as a
Speaker 1: kid anyway. Oh, speaking of immigration, the census shows that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden inflated the foreign population of the United States
Speaker 1: sixteen percent, with eight point three million people in four years.
Speaker 5: We have the highest percentage of foreign born people we've
Speaker 5: ever had in the nation's history, and nobody voted for that.
Speaker 5: Nobody ran on it, and nobody voted for it. Correct,
Speaker 5: and that something.
Speaker 1: The record breaking inflow is carefully engineered by President Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's pro migration to borders are Alejandro waste of skin majorcis.
Speaker 2: According to uh.
Speaker 1: Neil Monroe at Bright Bart and I agree with them,
Speaker 1: the business backed Cuban born progressive opened many doors in
Speaker 1: the US borders to a flood of legal, illegal, and
Speaker 1: quasi legal migrants, while Democrats in Congress funded the inflow
Speaker 1: eight point three million people in four years, larger than
Speaker 1: the growth in the preceding twelve years.
Speaker 5: One. I think, to be fair, a lot of big
Speaker 5: agriculture or hotel chains or whatever that are probably Republicans.
Speaker 2: We're okay with this also, Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, as they write in the right part, the
Speaker 1: business backed pro rampant immigration may orchis I think that
Speaker 1: is accurately.
Speaker 5: One of the more astounding things that's happened in my life.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 5: Seriously, you changed the population drastically without anybody running for
Speaker 5: that for office anywhere, right, and nobody voting for it.
Speaker 1: Which significantly changes the culture of the country, and those
Speaker 1: of you who don't fully appreciate the power of culture,
Speaker 1: I would beg of you, well keep listening to the
Speaker 1: show because we talk about it, and be think about
Speaker 1: it a little bit. As you know, stages from Madison
Speaker 1: to Lincoln and others have pointed out the constitution, our
Speaker 1: system of government only survives because the people want it to. Now,
Speaker 1: we have cops, and we have the military, and we
Speaker 1: have laws and law enforcement and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But if the will to support our system of government
Speaker 1: ever became like it is I'm college campuses for instance,
Speaker 1: where everybody's a Marxist, it would go away. It would
Speaker 1: go away, and hurry you toy with the culture, you
Speaker 1: are toying with everything we hold dear.
Speaker 5: Or if you don't understand the importance of culture except
Speaker 5: that you're a moron.
Speaker 1: And we hate you and we don't like you. Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough. And finally, this, I love this headline. This
Speaker 1: is so funny. I want I wonder if you everybody
Speaker 1: has the same reaction to it. I did man lives
Speaker 1: for one hundred days with artificial titanium heart in successful.
Speaker 2: New trial A titanium heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I heard that headline Katie did, did do
Speaker 1: you react to the headline?
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dudes, thanks for helping me live for one
Speaker 1: hundred days. I was kind of shooting for longer than that.
Speaker 1: Oh right, d a successful new trial. No, actually, the
Speaker 1: headline is accurate. It's just kind of too vague. On
Speaker 1: Australian man lived for one hundred days with an artificial
Speaker 1: human heart, which I'm looking at right now and it
Speaker 1: looks like you got a kitchen remodel and you ordered
Speaker 1: a really fancy faucet, maybe the kind that you have
Speaker 1: like over your stove. It's on an arm that you
Speaker 1: lower down so you can fill your pasta pot or whatever. Anyway,
Speaker 1: but a woman, I think is holding it in the
Speaker 1: palm of her hand. It's about the size of a
Speaker 1: twelve in softball, the kind of softball you play with
Speaker 1: a mit. I'm from Chicago, so I remember sixteen is softballs. Anyway,
Speaker 1: You have a bum heart, Jim, Yeah, literally, and it's
Speaker 1: made a titanium. Anyway, this guy lived for one hundred
Speaker 1: days with the artificial titanium heart while he waited a
Speaker 1: donor transplant.
Speaker 5: Couldn't he Why didn't they just keep it going? The
Speaker 5: heck with pig hearts or donors. I'm gonna live with
Speaker 5: my titanium heart.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's quite ready for that, but it
Speaker 1: is seen as a real sign that the artificial heart
Speaker 1: could potentially offer a long term option for people suffering
Speaker 1: heart failure, whether as they waited for a transplant or
Speaker 1: you know, if they can leap forward even more with
Speaker 1: the technology may be semi permanently.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's got to be the future, right the heck
Speaker 5: with a you need a heart transplant from a human,
Speaker 5: you need a donor, We'll just have mechanical hearts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Because I mean it's it's a fairly simple mechanism.
Speaker 2: It's like a carburetor or something.
Speaker 1: Kind of, but it's you know, utterly necessary to keep
Speaker 1: the human animal alive and our soul going and the
Speaker 1: rest of it. But just a couple more details, because
Speaker 1: I find this fascinating, Not that I'm much of a
Speaker 1: mechanics guy, but the Baive Core total artificial heart has
Speaker 1: a single moving part, a levitated rotor that's held in
Speaker 1: place by magnets. As the name suggests, it's constructed from titanium,
Speaker 1: and there are no valves or mechanical bearings. That may
Speaker 1: be susceptible to wear. It pumps blood to the body
Speaker 1: and lungs, replacing both ventricles of a failing heart.
Speaker 2: This is making me woozy for something. I know me too.
Speaker 1: A friend has just had aious heart problem. So everything
Speaker 1: I hear about this stuff gives me the woozies. But anyway,
Speaker 1: you know, as various aspects of life and government get
Speaker 1: crappier and crappier, science is forging ahead.
Speaker 2: One of the most interesting notes I've heard.
Speaker 1: On the word science coming up later, plus is a
Speaker 1: progressivesm of mental disorder.
Speaker 5: I'll bet a titanium heart can't break. So you know,
Speaker 5: your best gal leaves you and you're fine. Sorry, got
Speaker 5: a titanum heart.
Speaker 2: I think you're mistaking the metaphor for medical reality. But
Speaker 2: all that stuff Joe mentioned and other stuff on the
Speaker 2: way still here.
Speaker 5: Finally, Southwest Airlines anounce yesterday will no longer offer customers
Speaker 5: complimentary checked bags, while in spirit, your first garbage bag
Speaker 5: is still free. All right, here's the question, does being
Speaker 5: married make you fat? Answers Yes, Now back to you. Now,
Speaker 5: it's more complicated than that. Just came across this thought.
Speaker 5: It was kind of interesting, yes, for men, know for women,
Speaker 5: So they give all the statistics in America for where
Speaker 5: the we're the most overweight, rich country in the world.
Speaker 5: And although we're spreading it around the world with American
Speaker 5: culture comes obeseently, we're doing what we can. Yeah, getting older,
Speaker 5: you gain weight, so I tend to so your metabolism
Speaker 5: slows down, and you tend exercise less.
Speaker 2: So people just gain weight getting older.
Speaker 5: Women, whether they're married or not, certain percentage of people
Speaker 5: get overweight or obese. Doesn't matter whether you get married
Speaker 5: or not. For men, your three point two times more
Speaker 5: likely to get obese if you get married, then if
Speaker 5: you not. Kind of interesting. I don't know why men
Speaker 5: marriage matters and women it doesn't. Then a different statistic
Speaker 5: small towns, town of eight thousand or less women much
Speaker 5: which more likely to be overweight or obese in a
Speaker 5: small town, doesn't make any doesn't affect anything for men
Speaker 5: the size of the town. I find both of those
Speaker 5: things kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: There's a lot there that's really interesting, including the fact
Speaker 1: that the differences between men and women's biology no way
Speaker 1: in a hundred a thousand different ways, I mean a
Speaker 1: thousand is so distinct, amazing and interesting. The idea that
Speaker 1: a woman is just a social construct maybe one of
Speaker 1: the most idiotic things you ever uttered. Gender bending madness
Speaker 1: update coming up in a little bit, by the way.
Speaker 5: Well, the idea of I'd never thought about this before,
Speaker 5: but it's obvious a lot of the statistics you see
Speaker 5: about people getting married and gaining weight, you would have
Speaker 5: gained weight if you hadn't got married. Also, just you
Speaker 5: gotten older. I mean, so that's a chunk of it
Speaker 5: right there. And then there's the Jerry Seinfeld joke. You know,
Speaker 5: the races overtake off the uniform. That's true to a
Speaker 5: certain extent.
Speaker 1: It just is, well, you have changed the incentives and disincentives,
Speaker 1: as I'm always talking about, So you're gonna.
Speaker 5: Get different behaviors, But not with women around marriage, only
Speaker 5: with men. Right, But in terms of living in a town,
Speaker 5: the small town, yeah, this town got nothing to do
Speaker 5: with an eat ice cream, whereas men are the same
Speaker 5: regardless of town size.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a cultural thing. I mean, why is everybody
Speaker 1: so damn fit in Denver for instance?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, right, man, you go to the fat, the
Speaker 2: ears thinned, a tough to mood.
Speaker 5: You go around you want to feel bad about yourself,
Speaker 5: go to the beach in La Man.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's shocking, Jack. I woke up feeling bad
Speaker 1: about myself.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 5: So you got your gender bending madness update and uh
Speaker 5: and and other stuff.
Speaker 2: We gotta get to.
Speaker 5: Oh Trump with a bit of a warning to Putin today.
Speaker 5: Putin said he accepts the cease fire. It just depends
Speaker 5: on the details, which is and hilarious phrase.
Speaker 1: And updates every fifteen seconds on the possible government shut down.
Speaker 2: Give me a break, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: Saturn has one hundred and twenty eight new moons, according
Speaker 5: to scientists, so.
Speaker 2: How many is enough?
Speaker 5: Saturn just accordingly, Trump is en us with one the
Speaker 5: rich get richer moon inequity is what it is. Grump
Speaker 5: has said something about the ceasefire. Putin said he agreed
Speaker 5: to the seat fire depending on conditions, which is I
Speaker 5: don't know what that means. But anyway, we'll get to
Speaker 5: that next segment.
Speaker 2: But first, it's a gender bending madness update.
Speaker 1: Holy First, an incident in the United States Congress that
Speaker 1: we didn't have time to talk about.
Speaker 2: It happened a few days ago.
Speaker 1: But worse playing for you, this is the House Foreign
Speaker 1: Affairs subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, Congressman Keith Self, Republican of Texas,
Speaker 1: referred to Representative Sarah McBride dude Delaware.
Speaker 2: Oh no, d stands for a Democrat, doesn't it?
Speaker 1: As the who is the first transgender person elected to Congress?
Speaker 1: As you're about to hear as as mister role at Michael.
Speaker 7: Nineteen, I now recognize the representative from Delaware, mister McBride,
Speaker 7: Thank you, madam, Chair Ranking Member Keating also wonderful, Stuart.
Speaker 2: Chairman, could you repeat your instruction again?
Speaker 8: Please?
Speaker 2: We have set the standard on the floor of the House.
Speaker 7: What is that standard? Mister chairman, would you repeat what
Speaker 7: you just said? You introduced a duly elected representative from
Speaker 7: the United States of America? Please, I will the representative
Speaker 7: from Delaware, mister McBride. Mister chairman, you are out of
Speaker 7: a order. Mister chairman, have you no decency? I mean
Speaker 7: I have come to know you a little bit, but
Speaker 7: this is not decent.
Speaker 2: We will continue this. You will not continue it with me.
Speaker 7: Unless you introduce a duly elected representative.
Speaker 2: The right way. This hearing is adjourned. So that was
Speaker 2: I almost dropped it. That was.
Speaker 1: Democrat Congressman Bill Keating jumping to the ladies defense, because
Speaker 1: the chairman introduced the transgender person as mister.
Speaker 5: And that's the chairman not wanting to respond to somebody
Speaker 5: by their non biological what they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, biologically male, which is of course the
Speaker 1: only kind of male there is. It's a biological term.
Speaker 1: And things to descended into madness, as your gender bending madness.
Speaker 2: So we'll let you, you know, you figure out.
Speaker 1: Oh, you got somebody who fully presents as a woman
Speaker 1: and calls themselves a woman, and is there in Congress
Speaker 1: whether you should refer to or as ms or mister,
Speaker 1: that's up to you.
Speaker 2: I have my beliefs. But that was interesting.
Speaker 1: Then this who could forget the clip from Gavin Newsom's
Speaker 1: hit podcast in which he and right wing influencer Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 1: we're talking about dudes in women's sports.
Speaker 8: It's like, you right now should come out and be like,
Speaker 8: you know what, the young man who's about to win
Speaker 8: the state championship in the long jump in female sports,
Speaker 8: that's that that shouldn't happen. You as the governor should
Speaker 8: step out there say no, no, and I appreciate and like,
Speaker 8: would you do something like that? Would you say no
Speaker 8: men in female sports? Well, I think it's an issue
Speaker 8: of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So
Speaker 8: that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's
Speaker 8: also a humility and grace, you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, there he gets into his lefty talking points, and.
Speaker 2: So that very weak.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good, cool question of fairness, and that
Speaker 1: is lacking in the sense of fairness. Right dudes whooping
Speaker 1: up on women in support? How when teenage boys can
Speaker 1: beat the world record holder women in track and field,
Speaker 1: for instance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's unfair anyway.
Speaker 1: So that was his very very weak statement. And as
Speaker 1: we've outlined, the left has gone crazy. Here's a letter
Speaker 1: to the editor of cal Matters guest editorial by Tory,
Speaker 1: who is, as she says, a queer parent based in Sacramento.
Speaker 1: Keeping in mind that queer can mean anything you want.
Speaker 1: It just means fighting the system. Man. Anyway, I'll just
Speaker 1: read her letter on the first episode of or editorial.
Speaker 1: On the first episode of his new podcast, gav You
Speaker 1: knw Some and Broke Some News, he no longer aligns
Speaker 1: with the Democratic Party on trans rights. He invited right
Speaker 1: wing provocateur Charlie Kirk Onto his show, unprompted, and what
Speaker 1: does that mean? You can invite anybody who wants, so
Speaker 1: do we, and proceeded to agree with him on whether
Speaker 1: trans athletes should be able to compete in girls' sports.
Speaker 1: The interview seemed intentionally design to show how much they
Speaker 1: had in common, like when Newsom complained about how weird
Speaker 1: it was when people shared their pronouns in a meeting.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is weird and abnormal.
Speaker 5: I actually makes the point, So that's that's something I
Speaker 5: felt like. His boys and girls sports thing was just
Speaker 5: kind of like really noncommittal. But the saying it's weird
Speaker 5: to say pronouns, Yeah, okay, yeah, I can see how
Speaker 5: that angered the far left.
Speaker 1: But she makes the point. She's quite correct. He wants
Speaker 1: the public to know that he agrees with Kirk and
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of America Tory. But anyway, right, So
Speaker 1: then she describes her family as in most ways totally
Speaker 1: boring and they have a very you know, normal lifestyle.
Speaker 1: And then she gets into the particulars it's worth it
Speaker 1: to us the fighting this because we need particular legal protections.
Speaker 1: I'm a lesbian, my partner carried our child, and she's
Speaker 1: known for decades that she's not a man or a woman.
Speaker 1: We are both on our child's birth certificate. But I
Speaker 1: got a second parent adoption just in case. My spouse
Speaker 1: had gender affirming surgery a year ago. They have no
Speaker 1: idea that, oh they they're not a man nor a woman,
Speaker 1: but they had gender affirming surgery. I hope it came
Speaker 1: out well anyway. She goes on to make her point
Speaker 1: at length. She describes Gabby sailing into the governor's office
Speaker 1: supporting LGBTQ minus plus times two over the power three stuff,
Speaker 1: and she gets to the key part. Instead of leading
Speaker 1: with a vision of California many people actually want, he's
Speaker 1: decided to scapegoat trans people for an imagined Midwest voter
Speaker 1: in a future presidential run. Nah, oh, it gets better.
Speaker 1: It's the twenty twenty four right wing script on repeat.
Speaker 1: This is how this woman sees the world. They push
Speaker 1: creepy political ideas until liberals, in an attempt to sound tough,
Speaker 1: adopt them instead of shutting them down. It's a trap, however,
Speaker 1: because then those creepy ideas become mainstream and newsome is
Speaker 1: falling for it.
Speaker 2: So the idea of.
Speaker 1: Men shouldn't whoop up on women in sports that are
Speaker 1: women's sports.
Speaker 2: She calls a.
Speaker 1: Creepy new idea, new political idea that's crept in or
Speaker 1: that there are men and there are women, which is
Speaker 1: a truth that has been known in all biological science
Speaker 1: since time immemorial. And there are some men who don't
Speaker 1: look particularly like a man and women who don't look
Speaker 1: very quote unquote womanly, but there's still men and women.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's been indisputable since the dawn of man.
Speaker 1: She calls that a creepy political idea pushed by con
Speaker 1: right wingers. If your view of the world is that twisted,
Speaker 1: are you actually mentally disturbed?
Speaker 5: Um, based on some people I know, I don't think so,
Speaker 5: just because you're surrounded by people everybody year around agrees
Speaker 5: with you, and you can't imagine the reality out there.
Speaker 5: Remember I said this several years back. I had a
Speaker 5: friend who worked in the university setting who came up
Speaker 5: the conversation, came up with the idea of putting pronouns
Speaker 5: and the sign off on your email. And this person,
Speaker 5: I said, you know who does that? And they said,
Speaker 5: doesn't everybody do that? Because they worked in a university setting,
Speaker 5: had only worked in a university setting, and we're in
Speaker 5: the depression that everybody in the world and everybody in
Speaker 5: America was putting the pronouns in their sign off on
Speaker 5: their email. Then I talked about it on the radio
Speaker 5: and the company you work for because I said, I
Speaker 5: only know my own industry, but.
Speaker 2: Nobody's doing that, I mean nobody.
Speaker 5: And then we got email after email after MeMail and said, no,
Speaker 5: nobody does that in my industry. So if you're surrounded
Speaker 5: by people that you know agree with you, I don't
Speaker 5: think you have to be crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Point, does ideology the capture of your brain bi ideology
Speaker 1: become madness?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But here's some more of those creepy new ideas being
Speaker 1: pushed by right winners. This trap has real consequences for
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community. Trans athletes were the opening salvo in
Speaker 1: a playbook already well underway in Red States, elimination of
Speaker 1: healthcare for trans kids.
Speaker 2: That's right, if they get pneumonia, we just let them die. No.
Speaker 1: No, what has been eliminated is cruel experiments in sex
Speaker 1: change on children who can't possibly consent to that sort
Speaker 1: of thing. If your trends, you're not allowed to get
Speaker 1: a tetnis shot right, So drop the euphemisms, deer, and
Speaker 1: talk about what you're actually talking about, and that is
Speaker 1: eighty five ten or so in the public consciousness as
Speaker 1: well leads directly to elimination of healthcare for trans adults.
Speaker 1: Policing Genitalia leads to proposals like George's HB two sixty seven,
Speaker 1: which is about trans athletes, but would also restrict listen
Speaker 1: to this creep new right wing program. It would restrict
Speaker 1: parental birth certificate options to mother and father. Creepy right
Speaker 1: wing ideas. That's just crazy. Wow, Californias do not want
Speaker 1: any part of regressive laws or the bigotry they embolden. You, dear,
Speaker 1: I think you are a person of good conscience. You
Speaker 1: are pro child abuse, and you are bizarrely out of
Speaker 1: touch with humanity. This is the final note passed along
Speaker 1: by Nick. I thought this is so good. Keeping in mind,
Speaker 1: I am a man proudly, proudly displaying a diploma that
Speaker 1: says I have a degree in political science, even as
Speaker 1: a twenty two year old. In receiving my diploma, I noticed,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, my degree is political science, but it's
Speaker 1: a Bachelor of Arts, which is not a Bachelor.
Speaker 2: Of science, which is why you wear a lab coat
Speaker 2: toward right. Anyway, I thought it was a scientist.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, anyway, Nick writes, I think I heard
Speaker 1: this from Brett Weinstein or a similar smarty pants, but
Speaker 1: it made an impact. Things with science in the name
Speaker 1: are rarely science. We don't add the word science to
Speaker 1: things that are clearly science, like physics, chemistry, biology, etc.
Speaker 1: It's only added to things that need dressing up, like
Speaker 1: social science and no offense. But political science, Oh, I know, Oh,
Speaker 1: there's a fair amount of like statistical studies in political
Speaker 1: science and that sort of thing. But no, it's fair criticism.
Speaker 1: It's a dead giveaway that you're not talking about science
Speaker 1: when the word itself pops up.
Speaker 5: Anything that's mostly malleable theory is obviously not science.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted to get this on as part of this.
Speaker 5: This happened somewhere where somebody misgendered somebody and then things
Speaker 5: went crazy. This is an actual adults rolling around. Wow,
Speaker 5: these people are crazy. I'm looking at the video chaos
Speaker 5: at a Saint Patrick's gala over an ex teacher who
Speaker 5: refused to use trans students pronouns and somebody got all crazy,
Speaker 5: and then people were screaming, and these are people in
Speaker 5: suits and ties and dresses rolling around on the floor fighting,
Speaker 5: screaming about transgenderism and people should be in prison in
Speaker 5: various things.
Speaker 2: It was a Saint Patrick's stay gather so you're drunk.
Speaker 5: And then one other thing. I wish I had gotten
Speaker 5: the audio for this. I saw this video the other
Speaker 5: day of uh I can't can't think of his name,
Speaker 5: not one the decathlon in nineteen seventy six and became
Speaker 5: a woman a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Jenner as Caitlyn.
Speaker 5: Who's now Kaitlyn Jenner Bruce Jenner, who's actually a Trump
Speaker 5: Conservative but as a h goes by a woman's name noun,
Speaker 5: dresses as a woman and calls himself a woman. He
Speaker 5: was playing golf the other day and one of the
Speaker 5: people in his foursome had their phone out and was
Speaker 5: video him when he came out of the men's room.
Speaker 2: When they stopped at.
Speaker 5: One of the holes, he he, uh, you know, he
Speaker 5: needed to drain the lizard whoever, and thanks for that.
Speaker 5: So he came out and they asked him about use
Speaker 5: the men's room. He said, yeah, I haven't used a
Speaker 5: women No. The women's room. He came out of the
Speaker 5: women's room. Sorry video of him coming out of the
Speaker 5: women's room, and he said, I haven't used a men's
Speaker 5: room in eight years.
Speaker 2: Men's rooms are disgusting.
Speaker 5: And then they got into a conversation how much cleaner
Speaker 5: the women's room is in the men's room.
Speaker 2: But I just thought that was kind of funny, kind
Speaker 2: of a lighthearted. Men's rooms are disgusting, so I used
Speaker 2: the women's room.
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, Yeah, Okay, it's gender bending, madness fighting.
Speaker 2: I as forgot in this.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it was profession Jenner who was like six for
Speaker 1: two thirty.
Speaker 2: I mean, a built dude, even at his age. It
Speaker 2: would be a little shocking.
Speaker 1: If you're a wow, misgendering and dead naming, you're a bigot.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: We got a lot more of this so called ceasefire
Speaker 5: and a bunch of other stuff coming up.
Speaker 2: Stay here, armstrong.
Speaker 6: Yet, if you look at the actual content of what
Speaker 6: President Putin said during that press conference, on the one hand,
Speaker 6: he said, yes, it's a great idea, it's a correct idea,
Speaker 6: the idea of this thirty day ceasefire, and we welcome it.
Speaker 6: Butt And it was a big butt, And he went
Speaker 6: on to list a raft of kind of preconditions, some
Speaker 6: of those including that during this thirty day complete ceasefire,
Speaker 6: Ukraine would have to stop training its troops, it would
Speaker 6: not be able to mobilize its troops, it would not
Speaker 6: be able to receive any weaponry, and a number of
Speaker 6: different issues he raised, essentially trying to really apparently slow
Speaker 6: this whole process down.
Speaker 5: He likes big butts. Yes, it was a big butt.
Speaker 5: I agree to the Sea Spire butt. It's got to
Speaker 5: be everything we want to nothing they want.
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't even I mean, you don't need
Speaker 1: to be a political analyst. Now, well he's saying he's
Speaker 1: in favor of it, then setting conditions that are utterly
Speaker 1: unacceptable and almost hilariously impractical. So then he can, you know,
Speaker 1: prolong the process and try to play Trump.
Speaker 5: Right, and then it works to a certain extent in
Speaker 5: that I saw many headlines that at least the big
Speaker 5: print headline was putin agrees to Sea Spire, and then
Speaker 5: the print underneath it would be depending on conditions or whatever.
Speaker 2: But you know, the headline was that's idiotic.
Speaker 5: I know it's idiotic anyway, as Zolensky thought it was idiotic.
Speaker 6: President Zelenski saying and response to President Putin's comments and
Speaker 6: that press conference that his words were quote, very predictable
Speaker 6: and very manipulative. He went on to basically accuse President
Speaker 6: Putin of being too much of a coward to just
Speaker 6: come out out and say that basically Russia wants to
Speaker 6: continue the war. He went on to say that Ukraine,
Speaker 6: unlike Russia, will not be getting in the way of
Speaker 6: peace and trying to make things difficult.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he went he said, what we've heard from Russia's
Speaker 5: Putin is very predictable, very manipulative. In practice, he's preparing
Speaker 5: a rejection, which that is what's happening.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, while calling it an acceptance, I mean it's
Speaker 1: not even it's so transparent where we even discussing.
Speaker 5: The interesting thing and the whole world is waiting to
Speaker 5: see this is once it's clear that Putin has rejected this,
Speaker 5: Zelensky having finally agreed to it. What's Trump's move? What's
Speaker 5: the United States move in terms of any pressure toward Putin?
Speaker 5: Or do you start arming Ukraine like crazy, which Trump
Speaker 5: threatened during the campaign.
Speaker 1: Right, So we'll see speaking of difficult deals next hour,
Speaker 1: our four we will have a look at the deal
Speaker 1: the Trump administration has offered to Columbia University to resume
Speaker 1: of funding them, and I love it.
Speaker 5: Oh small other fair Speaking of Trump, I forgot to
Speaker 5: mention one thing that has happened today on that front.
Speaker 2: Let me find that because it is good. Bah bah
Speaker 2: bah bah bah bah. I got some other good stuff.
Speaker 5: Trump warned Putin today that millions could die if fighting
Speaker 5: in Ukraine doesn't end. I don't know what that means. Millions.
Speaker 5: What do you expect to happen? I think you're absolutely
Speaker 5: arms correct. Putin's not going to agree to a ceasefire.
Speaker 5: He's going to drag it out. How is Trump going
Speaker 5: to react to this? He's going to Is he going
Speaker 5: to play along and act like Putin's actually trying to
Speaker 5: make up his mind?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: You ain't not a guess, No, no, I cannot imagine
Speaker 1: what's Trump's mind at this point toward put I just
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't get the things he says, and does you know,
Speaker 2: I don't think I have a guess either.
Speaker 5: I suppocify as going to guess it would be he
Speaker 5: allows Putin to drag this out and stretch it out
Speaker 5: and acts like Putin's trying to come to an agreement
Speaker 5: but hope not.
