Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong and get enough,
Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Hetty.
Speaker 1: Republicans here in Texas are just one step closer to
Speaker 1: getting those new congressional maps past. These Texas House Democrats
Speaker 1: returned after that fifteen days stay away in part because
Speaker 1: there's not much more that they can do to try
Speaker 1: to block this piece of legislation now. Instead, their attention
Speaker 1: is going to turn to the upcoming lawsuits that will
Speaker 1: be pursued now. GOP lawmakers have not set a timeline
Speaker 1: for when these new congressional maps could be passed, but
Speaker 1: it could be as soon as this week, and that
Speaker 1: is when these Texas House Democrats plan to make their
Speaker 1: arguments that can be used in those legal cases.
Speaker 3: Paid this close attention to this dang story. But is
Speaker 3: this almost entirely performative? From what I understand, they have
Speaker 3: the legal right in Texas to do this correct?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well, and the Democrats have jerrymandered their states
Speaker 2: pretty much as far as they can already go. I
Speaker 2: want to get into the California situation in a second
Speaker 2: or two why not have a friend of the Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getty Show, Kevin Kyleie lead us their next clip.
Speaker 4: Michael, I think it is a very unhealthy thing for democracy.
Speaker 4: I think it's bad for representative goverment. I don't think
Speaker 4: it's particularly good for either party. In fact, members of
Speaker 4: Congress and both parties hate it. The voters certainly don't
Speaker 4: like it. So that's why I've actually introduced a bill
Speaker 4: in the House to bring this whole thing to an end,
Speaker 4: saying that you don't redistrict, you can't jerrymander in the
Speaker 4: middle of the decade, or.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, but how about ever, I don't, well, be
Speaker 3: nice if you could get rid of it. I realized
Speaker 3: it'd be a possible to completely get rid of it.
Speaker 3: But surely you can come up with some legislation where
Speaker 3: you can't have a snake that curls around be a district.
Speaker 2: Ever. Yeah, well, a couple of things. Number One, when
Speaker 2: Eldridge Gary was Gary mandering it in the beginning was
Speaker 2: like the year eighteen o.
Speaker 3: One, right, Yeah, he was a designer to the Declaration
Speaker 3: of Independence. It's just part of what we do or
Speaker 3: love it or hate it, and what it is is
Speaker 3: congress people choosing their voters as opposed to voters choosing
Speaker 3: their congressperson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I wish I had the Twitter thread in
Speaker 2: front of me. I thought I'd send it to myself.
Speaker 2: Maybe it didn't. But so Gaviy Newsome has a floated
Speaker 2: the idea of redrawing the map in California to change
Speaker 2: it from completely gerrymandered for Democrats to like obscenely stacked
Speaker 2: in favor of Democrats, even though the vast majority of
Speaker 2: Californians like the allegedly nonpartisan Citizens Commission that does it
Speaker 2: right now. But Gavey's trying desperately to look like a
Speaker 2: hero to the left. And that's most of what this is.
Speaker 2: But the analysis looked at his proposed map and it
Speaker 2: was hilarious. I mean, number one, like it went down
Speaker 2: to Orange County, where you know there are actually a
Speaker 2: fair number of Republicans and Republican seats, and like the
Speaker 2: city of Huntington Beach was divided slivers of it into
Speaker 2: three different districts and Garden Grove was cut in half,
Speaker 2: and one of the districts the comment was, oh, look
Speaker 2: an elephant, because it was just this weird shaped district,
Speaker 2: like an elephant's head and then a trunk that extended
Speaker 2: like into and around other districts and just completely ridiculous.
Speaker 3: But as pointed out last week, while short term that
Speaker 3: would give Democrats more seats, long term it weakens you're
Speaker 3: hold on a whole bunch of different Democratic seats, and
Speaker 3: if people ever got fed up, you could have a
Speaker 3: fee change occur.
Speaker 2: Right because you've you know, you got a safe, you know,
Speaker 2: twenty point win in this district, so you think, you know,
Speaker 2: why don't we peel off ten percent and put it
Speaker 2: in those two districts and we'll have sway there. But
Speaker 2: you know, as you point out, if there's a change election,
Speaker 2: you can have an enormous change. Well, not only that,
Speaker 2: but has been pointed out by several folks, the Republican
Speaker 2: states are less gerrymandered than the Democrat states, and so
Speaker 2: they have more if it becomes a game of screw
Speaker 2: your neighbor, the Republicans have a lot more screw than
Speaker 2: they can do than the Democrats, because the Democrats have
Speaker 2: pushed it so far already. I don't know if I
Speaker 2: like that name, but it's it's colorful, isn't it anyway?
Speaker 2: So yeah, Gavy is completely phony, trying desperately to be
Speaker 2: the hero of the left. Oh oh, meanwhile, JB. Pritzker
Speaker 2: fat child mutilator. JB. Pritzker. Wow, is he going to
Speaker 2: run to the center as so many sane Democrats are saying. Look,
Speaker 2: we got to abandon the wok thing. We got to
Speaker 2: talk about what people care about. What happened. What we
Speaker 2: used to like, the working class around here, normal people.
Speaker 2: What happened Now it's all like grad student assistant lecturers
Speaker 2: that are our party. Anyway, JB's running in the other direction.
Speaker 2: Even though Illinois is drowning in debt. JB. Pritzker signed
Speaker 2: a bill into law opening student financial aid to all
Speaker 2: residents regardless of immigration status, opening a pathway for illegal
Speaker 2: immigrants resigning in the state to receive educational financial benefits.
Speaker 2: The bill purports to establish quote equitable eligibility for financial
Speaker 2: aid and benefits. The bill reads that a student who
Speaker 2: is an Illinois resident but is not otherwise eligible for
Speaker 2: federal financial aid, including but not limited to a transgender
Speaker 2: student who is disqualified for failure to register for selective
Speaker 2: service because there are millions of those. Right, some boy
Speaker 2: you feels who thinks he's gay but he thinks maybe
Speaker 2: that means I'm a girl because his teacher has been
Speaker 2: lecturing on him and lecturing him on it, now comes
Speaker 2: off his transgender and then doesn't register for selective service. Again,
Speaker 2: we've heard about the millions of cases. Of those are
Speaker 2: a non citizen student who has not obtained lawful permanent residence.
Speaker 2: Nobody like that shall be kept away from financial aid
Speaker 2: and benefits. So illegal, I'm sorry, college scholarships for illegal
Speaker 2: immigrants and non selective service. Registering transgender boys is his platform. Okays?
Speaker 2: The good fight?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, whoa, people are going to be flocking to
Speaker 3: your side. So Trump jumped into the whole mail in
Speaker 3: ballot thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, right, that's right. Why don't we
Speaker 2: just play the audio? Michael, you got that thirty one?
Speaker 5: Mail in ballots are corrupt. Mail in ballots. You can
Speaker 5: never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. And
Speaker 5: we as a Republican party, are going to do everything
Speaker 5: possible that we get rid of mail in ballots. We're
Speaker 5: going to start with an executive order that's being written
Speaker 5: right now by the best lawyers of the country to
Speaker 5: end mail in ballots because they're corrupt. And do you
Speaker 5: know that we're the only country.
Speaker 3: In the world.
Speaker 5: I believe I may be wrong, but just about the
Speaker 5: only country in the world that uses it because of
Speaker 5: what's happened massive fraud all over the place.
Speaker 3: Is that true? Do you have any idea other does
Speaker 3: Europe use mail in ballots for their elections. I don't
Speaker 3: actually know that there has not been massive fraud. I
Speaker 3: guess it's all in the determination of the word massive.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if I'm pretty sure there's never
Speaker 3: been an election that we thought would gone the other
Speaker 3: based on known mail in ballot fraud. But I do
Speaker 3: know as a renter, I got fifteen ballots last election
Speaker 3: to different names who lived there. I mean a lot
Speaker 3: for everybody, bitches, everybody that ever lived there in the
Speaker 3: last five years.
Speaker 2: I got a ballot. The screen trunk unleashed on true
Speaker 2: Social was actually his longest ever. They think I could
Speaker 2: read it to you, but it's quite.
Speaker 3: Long and has a lot of capital letters, which starts
Speaker 3: with call me ishmail.
Speaker 2: It's very long. But as Jeff Blair points out in
Speaker 2: the National Review d D, I can read Article one,
Speaker 2: Section four of the US Constitution as well as you can,
Speaker 2: and I know that none of these changes can be
Speaker 2: commanded via executive order. As the Constitution spells it out
Speaker 2: quite clearly, the times, places, and manner of holding elections
Speaker 2: for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each state
Speaker 2: by the legislature thereof. But the Congress may at any time,
Speaker 2: by law, make or alter such regulations, except as to
Speaker 2: the place of choosing senators.
Speaker 3: So I'm never gonna get my wish, so I've just
Speaker 3: given up on it. I would like it to go
Speaker 3: back to voting day. It's ad day and we all
Speaker 3: go vote. That's what I would like. I would feel.
Speaker 3: I would just make me feel way more comfortable with
Speaker 3: the outcome of all my elections.
Speaker 2: And eliminate a couple of the dope dope y woke
Speaker 2: holidays and make election day holiday if you want, or
Speaker 2: a mandatory time off, which is already the law. Come
Speaker 2: to seven.
Speaker 3: Yep, No, I'd be fine with that and make it
Speaker 3: a holiday. But whatever, it seemed to work pretty good
Speaker 3: for a couple hundred years there. I'm all for it.
Speaker 3: I just I don't think it'll happen though. Now it's election.
Speaker 3: It's election several months depending on where you live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will agree with you. Though, for the record
Speaker 2: that mail in ballots are absolutely fraud central. I mean
Speaker 2: they enable fraud to take place, especially in Blue states
Speaker 2: that have legalized ballot harvesting. So you just wallpaper an
Speaker 2: apartment complex with mail in ballots, hundreds and hundreds and
Speaker 2: hundreds of them. So that's the bigger threat than well.
Speaker 2: And then the volunteers, the activists, they go they take
Speaker 2: them out of mailboxes. They just knock on doors, say hey,
Speaker 2: I can fill that out for you. Sometimes they even
Speaker 2: hand out money under the table, of course, and then
Speaker 2: they turn in because you can ballot harvest they turn
Speaker 2: in dozens and dozens or hundreds of ballots, many of
Speaker 2: whom of which were not you know, signed and certified
Speaker 2: by the person they're sent to, and nobody ever checks
Speaker 2: in a lot of Blue states.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole ballot harvesting thing, I believe is a problem,
Speaker 3: and I wish there was a way to do a
Speaker 3: way that the I don't know how many people are
Speaker 3: filling out you know, you live somewhere and you get
Speaker 3: six ballots and you're filling it out with a fake
Speaker 3: name and sending it in. But the ballot harvesting is
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, So if Congress wants to pass a law
Speaker 2: that tightens all this stuff up, Constitution says they can.
Speaker 2: You know, as soon as a Democrat Congress comes in,
Speaker 2: they'll loosen it up again because they're in favor of
Speaker 2: fraud and half wits and the brain dead voting. But
Speaker 2: that's the best you can do in our democracy.
Speaker 3: And of course it's interesting that until Trump jumped into it,
Speaker 3: the people who used mail in ballots were way heavy
Speaker 3: on the Republican side until Trump jumped into the issue,
Speaker 3: and then Democrats started thinking, no, this is our deal,
Speaker 3: and so then they overtook Republicans for people who do
Speaker 3: mail in balloting as a way to fight back.
Speaker 2: But it used to be.
Speaker 3: Older and rural people who are way more likely to
Speaker 3: be Republican that used mail in ballots. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 3: sure I would blame Trump for the change. I just
Speaker 3: think the Democrats saw an opportunity.
Speaker 2: AnyWho, So that's that.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: One of our favorite news anchors, Brett Pair of Fox,
Speaker 3: got ticketed for distracted driving good during the during the
Speaker 3: crime crackdown in Washington DC.
Speaker 2: Finally justice, he's probably looking at his phone.
Speaker 3: How dairy you ever? You ever actually look into other
Speaker 3: people's cars. When you're in traffic, it's like nine people
Speaker 3: are looking at their phone.
Speaker 2: They glanced up occasionally.
Speaker 3: It's amazing. There isn't There aren't more res really, okay,
Speaker 3: we got more on the way. Stay here. So this
Speaker 3: is an interior decorator with a list of things we
Speaker 3: should not have in our home.
Speaker 6: Number one a TV. Everybody places their furniture to face
Speaker 6: that ugly black box, and I don't want it in
Speaker 6: my house to disturb the beauty. Number two a microwave
Speaker 6: similar to the TV. I'm somebody who cooks every day
Speaker 6: and I never need to use a microwave. Three is
Speaker 6: laundry drying all over the house. It just kills the vibe.
Speaker 6: Four is overhead lighting. It makes everybody look a lot
Speaker 6: less attractive. The best thing to do is have lamps
Speaker 6: all around the room. Is unused candles that light them
Speaker 6: just for an hour or so. It looks used. It
Speaker 6: looks a lot better, all right.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 3: If I'm a childless, pretentious person with lots of free time,
Speaker 3: that would be a one way to live.
Speaker 2: His point about lamps was a good one. It is
Speaker 2: more flattering lighting the light one.
Speaker 3: I agree with the rest of it, just don't don't
Speaker 3: have laundry around. Well, that'd be nice, but I got
Speaker 3: kids in laundry, and I gotta try it somewhere, so
Speaker 3: i'll pick it up when I get home.
Speaker 2: You have your couches facing the ugly black box. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I agree, here's supposed to face. I agree.
Speaker 3: It looks cool rooms that you can have the furniture.
Speaker 3: You don't have a television, but I have a television.
Speaker 2: We watch television, so We're gonna do a couple of
Speaker 2: things that I wanted. We got to combo it up
Speaker 2: so that it's also a conversation pit Comly a pit
Speaker 2: is not a good term, but for conversation it is
Speaker 2: for some reason.
Speaker 3: So I got a question for you. You have a cold,
Speaker 3: you said, I do rahinovirus.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 3: Where are you currently on your belief in various things
Speaker 3: that will help with a cold. Do you immediately jump
Speaker 3: on zinc or echinaesia or vitamin C or any of
Speaker 3: those things?
Speaker 2: Funny, you should mention that my wife suggested I hit
Speaker 2: the uh zinc I can't remember the name of it.
Speaker 2: Dissolve in your mouth orange flavored thingies every few hours. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I try that.
Speaker 3: Airborne's a combination of zinc and vitamin C, which I
Speaker 3: don't know if it does you any good at that
Speaker 3: point or not hour on the idea, but I feel
Speaker 3: like the zinc does. It might be I might be
Speaker 3: suffering from what's that where you believe, Yeah, I might
Speaker 3: be suffering from placbia, but I feel like the zinc
Speaker 3: does help. And man, if you can cut the length
Speaker 3: and severity of a cold by half, like they claim,
Speaker 3: that's not nothing.
Speaker 2: I hope I started sooner because it says, excuse me,
Speaker 2: started it like the earliest sign of a cold, and
Speaker 2: I think I waited a day. But what the heck
Speaker 2: damn it? I know slow on the uptake.
Speaker 3: I read that review you sent me from somebody, the
Speaker 3: funny review of the book Ulysses, since I'm still in
Speaker 3: the midst of reading Ulysses Ulysses, if you listen to it,
Speaker 3: I just realized, so reading it's very difficult, as I've
Speaker 3: been listening to it on audiobook much easier because the
Speaker 3: person who reads it with their tone of voice can
Speaker 3: let you know when you're doing inner mind dialogue, which
Speaker 3: is if you.
Speaker 2: Can't tell, it's really really hard.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, But anyway, I've been listening to it and
Speaker 3: reading it at the same time.
Speaker 2: It says it'll take forty hours.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of time, and I don't have a
Speaker 3: lot of spare time, so it could take me roughly
Speaker 3: till I'm ninety six to get through the book.
Speaker 2: But this review, you set aside an entire work week
Speaker 2: for it, nine to five with an hour for lunch
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 3: Got a couple of days off next week. I'm really
Speaker 3: looking forward to really diving into it. But this review,
Speaker 3: this one star review of it, is pretty funny.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry it'd be eight to five. Yes, back to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the person did not like it, did not enjoy
Speaker 3: reading Ulysses. Have you ever attempted to read the other
Speaker 3: James Joyce book that makes Ulysses seem like reading Rundick
Speaker 3: Run Finnegans Wake? Have you ever even attempted to read
Speaker 3: Finnegans Way.
Speaker 2: I dove into it once and thought, this is completely mystifying,
Speaker 2: and I'm hating it that.
Speaker 3: I feel likes a joke that's like a Andy Warhol
Speaker 3: sort of Let's see if I can throw this crap
Speaker 3: at people and some people will pretend to get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I think it is. Yeah, there. I've
Speaker 2: just conceded there are things that I am bad enough
Speaker 2: at that I'd be wasting my time because there are
Speaker 2: lots of other things I could be doing instead. And
Speaker 2: I don't turn my nose up it like theoretical physics.
Speaker 2: Lord knows string theory whatever that is. That stuff I
Speaker 2: just I don't get it, so I leave it to others,
Speaker 2: I would say.
Speaker 3: On the other side of the coin, though, I'm enjoying
Speaker 3: reading Ulysses so much. It's my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to get to it every single night.
Speaker 3: It's just really loving it so much. Some interesting new
Speaker 3: stuff about the war Ukraine and Russian and Trump and
Speaker 3: boots on the ground and all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 3: among other.
Speaker 2: Things on the limp Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: But if these two people can't sit in a room
Speaker 7: without killing each other, we're not going to end the war.
Speaker 7: So Trump is a peacemaker. But you gotta have willing partners.
Speaker 7: You can only expect so much from a single man.
Speaker 7: Does that say, if they can get in a room,
Speaker 7: not kill each other and come out willing to talk again?
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean he doesn't mean literally. But Zelensky, if
Speaker 3: he could, would kill Putin and should and vice versa
Speaker 3: and should Well, yeah, Putin is desperate to be rid
Speaker 3: of Zelensky in his entire government. In a different sort
Speaker 3: of way, Putin, I wouldn't want to like walk out
Speaker 3: of there with bloody hands and be known as the
Speaker 3: guy who killed him. He's been trying to kill Zelenski
Speaker 3: for years, and that is well documented. Zelensky would kill
Speaker 3: Trump Putting with his bare hands and be fine to
Speaker 3: walk out of the room with blood on his hands.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: And you know, arrest me to whatever you want. I
Speaker 3: did a service to my country.
Speaker 2: But uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Putin's literally trying to kill Liz Zelensky every
Speaker 3: single day, every single day. If he ever gets a
Speaker 3: clear shot or the chance to poison him or whatever,
Speaker 3: he will uh. And Zelensky would like to kill Putin
Speaker 3: if he could. So that is an interesting situation.
Speaker 2: I'd say, where it goes from here? And nobody knows.
Speaker 2: The hard work is yet to begin. I was talking
Speaker 2: to somebody yesterday.
Speaker 3: I got to ask somebody I know in uh in
Speaker 3: security about Putin getting in the car with Trump because
Speaker 3: Putin's a known killer, and did the Secret Service check
Speaker 3: him for weapons.
Speaker 2: Or anything like that? I know. No, so you let
Speaker 2: a known killer get alone in a car with Trump?
Speaker 2: And how about the hole?
Speaker 3: You know the Putin has killed people, not with his
Speaker 3: own hands, but he's ordered people killed with those tiny
Speaker 3: amounts of the super awful poison. Yeah, so he could have, like,
Speaker 3: you know, just clapped Trump on the back with a
Speaker 3: little bit of that poison. He secretly took the antidote
Speaker 3: to the poison on the plane before he got a
Speaker 3: clever Russian bastard. Right, Trump keels over dead. Well, he's
Speaker 3: an old, fat guy, not surprising. He had a heart attack.
Speaker 3: He'll be missed, says Putin. And you know, well, thank
Speaker 3: god that didn't happen. Jack, Well, thanks for warning us.
Speaker 3: I had something more serious, but I've lost heart for it.
Speaker 3: But maybe we'll do that later. Oh my main theme
Speaker 3: of the day, And I've been reading some more stuff
Speaker 3: about that. Does Putin have the slightest interest in any
Speaker 3: of this? Does he have any interest whatsoever in what
Speaker 3: Europe and Trump come up with? Or just like, I'm
Speaker 3: going to continue the war no matter what you say
Speaker 3: or do. I feel like I can win this thing.
Speaker 3: I feel like you're gonna give up. I feel like
Speaker 3: things are going pretty.
Speaker 5: Well for me.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's one of me and like a dozen
Speaker 2: of you, and you don't even agree with each other
Speaker 2: most of the time. So yeah, I'm just waiting out.
Speaker 2: I'm messing with you and waiting. Yeah. You know, I
Speaker 2: liked your metaphor early in the show that everybody's going
Speaker 2: on and on about the flower arrangements and the guest
Speaker 2: list and the venue and then the reception venue, and
Speaker 2: one of the people who's party to it is like,
Speaker 2: I'm not getting married, not getting married to anybody. But
Speaker 2: you know, the other side really wants a marriage, so
Speaker 2: they just keep planning and they're going to have a
Speaker 2: meeting at some point between the bride and the utterly
Speaker 2: unwilling to be a groom.
Speaker 3: Groom, let's present him with a honeymoon that is, instead
Speaker 3: of Hawaii Europe. It doesn't make any difference. He ain't
Speaker 3: getting married. He's never said yes.
Speaker 2: That could be the case. Yeah, we'll have to see.
Speaker 2: So enough of Ukraine. We haven't and many people haven't
Speaker 2: talked about Israel much in Gaza and the rest of it,
Speaker 2: although if you flip on NPR, they are just absolutely
Speaker 2: obsessed with Gaza and Israel and that whole thing just
Speaker 2: because well we've discussed why it's a victim oppressor thing
Speaker 2: from the point of view of postmodern neo Marxism, and
Speaker 2: it's a battle they feel like they can win. But
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous the way they're framing it, in my opinion.
Speaker 2: A couple of headlines. Oh, you know, I heard a
Speaker 2: great analysis by an expert in urban warfare who is
Speaker 2: talking about how the standards being applied to the Israelis
Speaker 2: in a war because this is not a terrorist suppression exercise.
Speaker 2: This is the government of Gaza attacking Israel, and Israel
Speaker 2: taking the fight to the government of Gaza and seeking
Speaker 2: to deny them the power to harm Israel again. And
Speaker 2: so the rules of engagement are warfare, not counter terrorism,
Speaker 2: and that there has never been in the history of
Speaker 2: this sort of warfare a standard like is being applied
Speaker 2: to Israel to protect and feed all the civilians and
Speaker 2: not make them relocate either that's cruel, that's a genocide
Speaker 2: or something or ethnic cleansing. No, civilians always leave war
Speaker 2: zones always. You know why they're not in this case
Speaker 2: because Egypt won't have them, and Jordan won't have them,
Speaker 2: and nowhere will have them. Because if you import a
Speaker 2: bunch of Palestinians, you import political violence and unrest. Anyway.
Speaker 3: Having said that, yeah, talking about your underreported part of
Speaker 3: it is how Egypt immediately reinforced their walls to keep
Speaker 3: the Palestinians out of their country. I mean, Egypt could
Speaker 3: easily accept a whole bunch of people coming across the
Speaker 3: border or let food in across there, and they don't.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, yeah, if you were to have a
Speaker 2: mass exodus of people temporarily or whatever, there's tremendous amounts
Speaker 2: of room in the Sinai region and tremendous amounts of
Speaker 2: money and financing to build you know, camps and food
Speaker 2: and water tanks and the rest of it. So everybody
Speaker 2: would be absolutely peachy. I mean, granted, their house has
Speaker 2: been destroyed by a war, but their government shouldn't have
Speaker 2: declared war on Israel anyway. Handful of headlines here. Senior
Speaker 2: Hamas official Gazi Hamad hailed Canadian, British and French plans
Speaker 2: to recognize a Palestinian state, quote as the fruits of
Speaker 2: October seventh. Why are all the countries recognizing a Palestinian
Speaker 2: state today? The senior member of the Hamas pulit Borough
Speaker 2: asked during an interview on Al Jazeera before October seventh,
Speaker 2: did any country dare recognize a Palestinian state the fruits
Speaker 2: of October seventh or what caused the entire world to
Speaker 2: open its eyes to the Palestinian issue and they are
Speaker 2: moving toward it with force? Wow.
Speaker 3: So they basically just declared, we are getting a positive
Speaker 3: benefit out of what we did on October seventh.
Speaker 2: Murder worked, Murdering.
Speaker 3: Civilians, babies, old ladies, setting people on fire, raping all
Speaker 3: those college girls at the concert.
Speaker 2: It worked well. And he also came for us. He
Speaker 2: made it clear that the accords between Israel and the
Speaker 2: Arab States the Gulf States were proceeding and were about
Speaker 2: to be finalized, and they had to derail that, and
Speaker 2: they derailed it. So he said, in practically every way,
Speaker 2: October seventh was successful. Well, that's horrifying A long yeah,
Speaker 2: it is moving along. Charming story here former youth organizer
Speaker 2: for AOC busted after urging attack on Jewish students at
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Public High School. This imman Obdual age twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Let's see tweeted I think it was tweeted. Posted a
Speaker 2: screenshot of the location of this high School for the
Speaker 2: Sciences in Manhattan Beach if anyone needs a public school
Speaker 2: in New York City to attack for whatever reason. Lexus
Speaker 2: driving Israe Hell loving Zionists miss spelled all attend here.
Speaker 2: They've all gone on birthright, adding to a popular program
Speaker 2: that offers free ten day trips to Israel for Jewish
Speaker 2: young adults. Blah blah blah. She worked for the Democratic
Speaker 2: primary campaigns of AOC and state and State Senator Julie Salazar,
Speaker 2: paid Canvasser for Salazar, and she was charged with Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, where are the charges? A lot of serious
Speaker 2: charges about inciting terroristic threats and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Man, it's one thing to be anti the Israeli army
Speaker 3: or anti the Yahoo government or but if you're wanting
Speaker 3: to take it out on Jewish kids in America, you're
Speaker 3: a freaking nut. Well, you hate Jews is your thing?
Speaker 2: Ah. The NYPD arrested miz Abdul, Islamist, activist and Marxist.
Speaker 2: How odd that's the red green connection we've talked about,
Speaker 2: charging her with making a terroristic threat, acting in a
Speaker 2: manner injurious to a child, aggravated harassment and making a
Speaker 2: throat of mass harm moving along a great peace from
Speaker 2: the free press. The GOP divide over Israel is mostly fiction,
Speaker 2: and they tip their cap to the Tucker Carlson Steve
Speaker 2: Bannon crowd. But in terms of and like Marjorie Taylor Green,
Speaker 2: but she's increasingly isolated and out of step on GOP
Speaker 2: foreign policy, and they're practically is no GOP divide. A
Speaker 2: recent gallupol, for instance, earned considerable coverage for finding that
Speaker 2: only thirty two percent of Americans approve of Israel's military
Speaker 2: actions in Gaza. But dig deeper and you learned that
Speaker 2: the shift is entirely attributable to collapsing democratic and to
Speaker 2: a lesser extent, independent support. Republican backing for Israel's war
Speaker 2: against Thamas has increased since last year, from sixty six
Speaker 2: to seventy one percent, and the proportion of Republicans who
Speaker 2: approve of Israel's actions in the twelve day war against
Speaker 2: it Iran runs even higher at seventy eight percent. So
Speaker 2: it is roughly an eighty twenty issue. And then finally
Speaker 2: this again, the free press, they became symbols for Gozen starvation,
Speaker 2: but all twelve suffer from other health problems. This is
Speaker 2: an interesting story. Yeah. A Free Press investigation found that
Speaker 2: the viral photos lacked important context. The subjects have cystic fibrosis, Ricketts,
Speaker 2: and other serious ailments. And it wasn't just that little
Speaker 2: eighteen month old Mohammad et cetera, et cetera name that
Speaker 2: was on the front page of the New York Times.
Speaker 2: He had serious pre existing health conditions affecting his brain
Speaker 2: and muscle development.
Speaker 3: Now a second, they ran a correction saying that kid
Speaker 3: was not starving, he had other health conditions. They ran
Speaker 3: their correction on their pr Twitter feed that has like
Speaker 3: eighty thousand followers.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and that was not a one off. An
Speaker 2: investigation by The Free Press revealed it at least a
Speaker 2: dozen other viral images of starvation and gaza also lacked
Speaker 2: important context. The subjects of those photos have significant health problems.
Speaker 2: Those appeared all over social media, in the reports of
Speaker 2: leading international aid organizations and some of the most prestigious
Speaker 2: news outlets in the United States, and some really crappy ones,
Speaker 2: including CNN, NPR and The New York Times, without disclosing
Speaker 2: that the complicated medical histories that help explain their stark appearance.
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is they found this pretty easily. They
Speaker 2: just did searches on these people's names and found local
Speaker 2: news accounts and other things talking about their terrible health
Speaker 2: situations that had nothing to do with starvation. Nice job,
Speaker 2: mainstream media. You either are in the propaganda business.
Speaker 3: You're either lazy, sloppy, or did that all completely on purpose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. It's miserable there. Miserable because it's
Speaker 2: always miserable for civilian populations in war zones. So Israel
Speaker 2: ought to just let Jumas win or just leave them
Speaker 2: alone now because they've ass is no longer a threat.
Speaker 2: I keep hearing. Yeah, that's for the Israelis to decide.
Speaker 3: Breaking headline. The PGA Tour is returning to a Trump
Speaker 3: golf course next year. Their schedule includes Trump National Draw
Speaker 3: for the Miami stop.
Speaker 2: Have you ever played legendary golf course? Have you ever
Speaker 2: played a Trump golf course? No? No, they're a handful.
Speaker 2: I'd really like to, but now I haven't. Gold Cups,
Speaker 2: gold Flags, gold clubs, gold fairways, gold everywhere.
Speaker 3: Gold.
Speaker 2: You'd like to because they're pretty nice. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're all terrific. I mean he's you know, for all
Speaker 2: of Trump's courts and faults, He's a fiendishly enthusiastic golfer
Speaker 2: and like his course in Ireland is supposed to be spectacular,
Speaker 2: I'd like to play that. How good a golfer is Trump? Well,
Speaker 2: he cheats like crazy. He's he's quite good for a
Speaker 2: guy his age. He's almost eighty, like surprisingly good for
Speaker 2: a guy his age. He's not as good as he
Speaker 2: claims he is. Because he claims he like every year
Speaker 2: he won the the club championship and the Senior Club Championship.
Speaker 2: There's zero chance.
Speaker 3: That's true when he was younger. You think he legit
Speaker 3: did It's possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good player.
Speaker 3: We'll fitish strong next.
Speaker 8: With our bright pink cowboy hat and birthday sign held high,
Speaker 8: eight year old was shocked when country superstar Brad.
Speaker 2: Paisley noticed her, but then to be.
Speaker 8: But here's what it, Paisley signing his guitar before passing
Speaker 8: it to her in front of this South Carolina crowd.
Speaker 2: I got ELA's a Navy the.
Speaker 8: Surprise, a long standing tradition at Paisley's concerts.
Speaker 2: That's how you made the Taylor swift to inspire young
Speaker 2: guitar players. That's how you make it, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: So Brad Paisley, who was one of the world's greatest
Speaker 3: guitar players, hands out a guitar to young people, saying, hey,
Speaker 3: you go learn to play guitar, and it reminded me
Speaker 3: of my son is taking guitar lessons right now. I
Speaker 3: attempted teaching him, but he did not like the vibe
Speaker 3: of learning from his own dad for whatever reason, As
Speaker 3: often happens with kids and parents, or husbands and wives
Speaker 3: or whatever. Maybe'd be better to have your wife take
Speaker 3: lessons from a different than from you.
Speaker 2: Sometimes that just works out. I guess it's a good idea.
Speaker 2: Why is that, Well, I'm thinking of the game of golf,
Speaker 2: or just in general that sort of thing. I actually
Speaker 2: said to my wife, I want to be your man,
Speaker 2: not your swing coach, because it's a frustrating game and
Speaker 2: I don't want to be on the receiving end of it. Well,
Speaker 2: any other the defensiveness of a kid and a parent
Speaker 2: being corrected. It's just it doesn't work. Yeah, in a
Speaker 2: lot of cases, it doesn't work. Anyways.
Speaker 3: Also, thinking about the the idea of so, I don't
Speaker 3: know if you'll stick with it or not. Based on
Speaker 3: averages of kids sticking with musical instruments, I'd say the
Speaker 3: average would be he's not going to Maybe he will
Speaker 3: because I practice a musical instrument every single day, so
Speaker 3: he lives in a household where that's a thing. But
Speaker 3: a lot of people want to do things like I
Speaker 3: think about when I wanted to be.
Speaker 2: A writer, but I didn't want to write.
Speaker 3: People who want to play the guitar, but they don't
Speaker 3: actually want to practice. Maybe people like the idea of
Speaker 3: golfing but don't want to practice golfing. It's just do
Speaker 3: you want to put in the actual effort. I want
Speaker 3: to be in shape, but I don't want to have
Speaker 3: to go to the gym, you know that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: It's it was the great Plato, I believe, who said,
Speaker 2: if you would play the flute, play the flute. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 2: there's Jack Kansas joking man with the help of Kadie
Speaker 2: Green and Michael Langelo stabbing the connor there on our radio.
Speaker 2: So we'll stare their finals, ask before they have to go.
Speaker 3: I picture a lot Bubu singing that with its head
Speaker 3: dancing back at home.
Speaker 2: I only want to be able to sleep tonight. All that.
Speaker 2: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. So many
Speaker 2: people think, oh, I'm sorry, I'm premature on that. Times
Speaker 2: I apologize. Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody
Speaker 2: on the crew. I was deep in thought. Michaelangelo lead
Speaker 2: us off. Final thought. I like this idea of using
Speaker 2: AI for therapy, but I'm intrigued by Jack saying that
Speaker 2: Grok has a beautiful female voice, and I'm picturing him
Speaker 2: driving his car to lover's and just being alone with
Speaker 2: his AI. A loan with my grock. Oh boy, Katie
Speaker 2: Green are esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie, I
Speaker 2: think you guys just inspired me to pick my guitar
Speaker 2: back up. I haven't picked that thing up in longer
Speaker 2: than i'd like to admit. Yeah, come on back, Yeah, Jack.
Speaker 3: Final thought for us for everything, whether it be writing, guitar, golf,
Speaker 3: pretty much, whatever you want to do, going to the gym,
Speaker 3: It's all about a little bit every day as opposed
Speaker 3: to one afternoon you do six hours and then not
Speaker 3: again for another month.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit every day. Yeah. My final thought.
Speaker 2: And I'm late to this party, but I jumped onto
Speaker 2: Netflix documentary series Quarterback, about playing quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievably compelling and interesting, and like all documentaries, it's
Speaker 2: about human beings, although there's plenty of football on it. Interesting.
