Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong.
Speaker 2: And gatty, and he armstrong and yetty.
Speaker 3: News reports have claimed that I am anti vaccine or
Speaker 3: any industry.
Speaker 2: I am neither.
Speaker 3: I am pro safety.
Speaker 2: Handsome fireworks, fire works, Hanson, you Obsessans Kennedy. I am
Speaker 2: pro safety.
Speaker 3: I worked for years to raise awareness about the mercury
Speaker 3: and toxic chemicals and fish, and nobody calls me.
Speaker 2: Is obsessed with pro testers interrupting. It's just I don't
Speaker 2: sound it fascinating. I find it the least bit interesting
Speaker 2: when somebody stands up to and then they lead them out. Okay, fine,
Speaker 2: you don't think it's interesting that a single human being
Speaker 2: was willing to shout no.
Speaker 4: I find the protests, unless something happens, the least interesting
Speaker 4: thing going on today. I have been watching some of
Speaker 4: this during the commercial breaks RFK Junior being grilled and whatnot,
Speaker 4: and there's a lot of interesting stuff there, mostly from
Speaker 4: the He has gone around making really strong statements about
Speaker 4: stuff because and I'll be I'll give the most generous
Speaker 4: version I can, because it's a good way to get
Speaker 4: attention and get a reaction.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean just get a reaction from a
Speaker 2: kind of childish way, but it's a good way to, like,
Speaker 2: you know, get the argument going. It's sort of what
Speaker 2: it works for Trump. I think we should get out
Speaker 2: of NATO.
Speaker 4: I don't think he had any attention get out of NATO,
Speaker 4: but he starts strong hiring him for donating, you know,
Speaker 4: donating spending more of the money that they had more
Speaker 4: mandated to spend. You know, you get the conversation going.
Speaker 4: That's not the way everybody handles these things. I'm not
Speaker 4: sure it's the best way, but Trump makes that work
Speaker 4: all the time. And RFK Junior is doing a lot
Speaker 4: of the same sort of stuff, but he is having
Speaker 4: to answer for a whole bunch of these things that
Speaker 4: he has said over the years. We got a good
Speaker 4: one coming up in a little bit where he is
Speaker 4: specifically asked about his famous statement from just like a
Speaker 4: year ago, sixteen months ago on the Lex Friedman podcast,
Speaker 4: where he said there's no safe and effective vaccine.
Speaker 2: We'll get that one on for you. He also has
Speaker 2: said at various times, if there's one thing I could
Speaker 2: redo in my life, it'd be go back and not
Speaker 2: have my children vaccinated because his cousin, Caroline, Sweet Caroline
Speaker 2: Kennedy came out yesterday and said he goes around telling
Speaker 2: you not to get your kids vaxed, and he got
Speaker 2: his kids vexed. He says it's the biggest mistake of
Speaker 2: his life life. All right, I don't know. Well, what
Speaker 2: is proof of that is? We have other Kennedy clupes
Speaker 2: that aren't protests many. Okay, I want to hear some anything, Yes,
Speaker 2: start with twenty Michael.
Speaker 3: Today, American's overall health is in grievous condition. Over seventy
Speaker 3: percent of adults and a third of children are overweight
Speaker 3: or obese. Diabetes is ten times more prevalent than it
Speaker 3: was during the nineteen sixties. Cancer among young people is
Speaker 3: rising by one or two percent a year. Autoimmune diseases,
Speaker 3: neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer's, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host
Speaker 3: of other physical and mental health conditions are all on
Speaker 3: the rise, some of them exponentially.
Speaker 2: The United States.
Speaker 3: Has worse health than any other developed nation. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: spend more on healthcare, at least double and in some
Speaker 3: cases triple as other countries.
Speaker 2: That's what I was talking about at the very beginning
Speaker 2: of the show. He regularly says we have the most
Speaker 2: unhealthy children in the world. Is that true or not?
Speaker 2: And I would love it if they got down to
Speaker 2: the brass tax of that. And if that's true, why
Speaker 2: the hell is that true? I happen to be doing
Speaker 2: a medium dive during the commercial break into some of
Speaker 2: those statistics, and boy, it gets a little hairy. It
Speaker 2: depends which stat you're talking about. But there are number
Speaker 2: stats like frequently you'll hear about how America has the
Speaker 2: highest infant mortality rate among development Western economies, and that's
Speaker 2: it's because we have a different standard for reporting them.
Speaker 2: Because we are so good at saving premis. We count them.
Speaker 2: Other countries they don't count them at all. It's easy
Speaker 2: to manipulate stats like that, which it's not to say
Speaker 2: our systems perfect. There doesn't need reform of COACT. I
Speaker 2: do know about that particular stat but just in general,
Speaker 2: do we have more ADHD anxiety among our kids stuff
Speaker 2: like that than any other country in the world. I'd
Speaker 2: love to know that, or even if it's all Western
Speaker 2: societies that have the same lifestyle as ours, and it's
Speaker 2: its skyrocketed the way we all know it has. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that should be like the highest priority to figure that out.
Speaker 2: Two things that are in conflict with each other, because
Speaker 2: that's okay, that's what life is all about. Number One,
Speaker 2: RFK does some pretty good work in identifying, you know,
Speaker 2: trends and problems and pointing out that we really need
Speaker 2: to deal with him as a society. That doesn't mean
Speaker 2: he is the right guy to be in charge of it,
Speaker 2: but that's what the senators are looking into. I have
Speaker 2: some issues with the guy, but that's fine. But the
Speaker 2: second thing is kind of in the other direction. He
Speaker 2: does make a really good point that we have had
Speaker 2: person after person, administration after administration just kind of go
Speaker 2: along to get along in spite of these horrific trends,
Speaker 2: and that the idea of zero sum budgeting or shake
Speaker 2: things up or starting from square one or reassessing everything
Speaker 2: we're doing is so foreign to Washington, d C. That's
Speaker 2: the opposite of DC culture, which is go along to
Speaker 2: get along and grow your turf.
Speaker 4: How would there not be some sort of pressure from
Speaker 4: a company that's making billions of dollars off of their
Speaker 4: vaccine to not look into vaccines to hey, leave the
Speaker 4: vaccines alone.
Speaker 2: How would that? You know, It's just it flies in
Speaker 2: the face of human nature, doesn't it. Yeah? Well right, yeah,
Speaker 2: And I think one of our case points. And again
Speaker 2: this doesn't prove he's the right guy for the job,
Speaker 2: but I think he's right about it is to a
Speaker 2: large extent when it comes to big pharma or big
Speaker 2: food or the various other you know, the hospital monopolies, whatever,
Speaker 2: it's like there's a defensive attorney, but there's no prosecuting
Speaker 2: attorney because the CDC isn't it and the FDA they're
Speaker 2: known to be kind of suspect in certain ways. And
Speaker 2: what he's saying is we needed a prosecuting attorney who's
Speaker 2: not a persecuting attorney, but a prosecuting attorney representing we
Speaker 2: the people, to make sure we're getting a square deal. Something.
Speaker 2: Can ask him about the bear in the park. I
Speaker 2: think that'll come up. Yeah, they'll ask him. Is that
Speaker 2: the funniest thing ever? Because I think it was Okay,
Speaker 2: Hanson grabbed this one. This is a good one. He
Speaker 2: just whispered in my ear in.
Speaker 5: A podcast in twenty twenty. You said, and I quote,
Speaker 5: you would do anything, pay anything to go back in
Speaker 5: time and not vaccinate your kids. Mister Kennedy, all of
Speaker 5: these things cannot be true. So are you lying to
Speaker 5: Congress today when you say you are a pro vaccine
Speaker 5: or did you lie on all those podcasts?
Speaker 2: We have all of this on tape, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 2: a senator.
Speaker 3: As you know, because it's been repeatedly debunked, that statement
Speaker 3: that I made on the Lex Friedman podcast was a
Speaker 3: fragment of this statement.
Speaker 2: He asked me, and.
Speaker 3: Anybody who actually goes and looks at that podcast and
Speaker 3: we'll see this. He asked me, are there vaccines that
Speaker 3: are saving effective? And I said to him some of
Speaker 3: the live iris vaccines are, And I said there are
Speaker 3: no vaccines that are saving effective. And I was going
Speaker 3: to continue for every person, every medicine has people who
Speaker 3: are sensitive to them, including vaccines, right, So he interrupted
Speaker 3: me at that point. I've corrected it many times, including
Speaker 3: on national TV. You know about this, Senator Widen, So
Speaker 3: bringing this up right now is dishonest.
Speaker 4: So I would like to listen to that because that
Speaker 4: sounds like exactly the whole Trump bloodbath thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, I got to
Speaker 2: tell you, as a citizen and I'm sure there are
Speaker 2: folks listening who feel the same. I feel like RFK
Speaker 2: Junior is a bit of a loose cannon and a
Speaker 2: bomb truck, a chucker and maybe half a con man
Speaker 2: who's right about a lot of stuff. And the people
Speaker 2: on the other side are utterly dishonest too, or greed heads.
Speaker 2: And I'm just not sure what to believe. See, I
Speaker 2: don't want to say he has said in the past.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say there are claims that he said in
Speaker 2: the past, because sometimes things aren't taken out of context.
Speaker 2: We saw it endlessly with Trump during the campaign, where
Speaker 2: the mainstream media would state Donald Trump promised a blood
Speaker 2: bath if he loses. No, he didn't.
Speaker 4: He said the electric car market would be a blood
Speaker 4: bath because it's an economic term. I mean, as big
Speaker 4: a lie as you could possibly have in terms of
Speaker 4: presenting information to people. So maybe that's going on in
Speaker 4: some of these cases here. But which of these stances
Speaker 4: was I about to refer to on the abortion when
Speaker 4: this just happened. And maybe we'll get the tape later,
Speaker 4: but this just happened, RFK Junior. I agree with President
Speaker 4: Trump that every abortion is a tragedy. So he's trying
Speaker 4: to soften his stance on being pro choice.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll hear some of that coming up. He does
Speaker 2: have a number of those issues out there, as I
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, Mark Alpern in his newsletter, and he talks
Speaker 2: to a lot of senators. He believes it's three quarters
Speaker 2: likely that RFK Junior does get confirmed today, gets enough
Speaker 2: or out of this whole process today and tomorrow gets
Speaker 2: enough Republican votes to get across them, which is surprising
Speaker 2: to me. Right, Yeah, and certainly it could be said
Speaker 2: the President nominated the guy. He's really smart, unless there
Speaker 2: are just glaring deficiencies. Give him a try, see what happens. Well,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like we're appointing him king.
Speaker 4: Well, right, I don't like this idea that if he
Speaker 4: gets confirmed, he will all automatically announce no more vaccines
Speaker 4: and now kids aren't getting there LEO vaccine and nobody's
Speaker 4: going to school.
Speaker 2: No, that's not gonna happen, So calm down. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not comfortable with the guy anyway, But I don't know.
Speaker 2: It would take the rest of my week to go
Speaker 2: through every claim and counterclaim the bombs he's chucked. Then
Speaker 2: when he walked it back and what he actually believes.
Speaker 2: I don't know that the waters become so clouded, which
Speaker 2: is the actual object of misinformation, by the way, and
Speaker 2: true and propaganda. It's not to convince you of something specific.
Speaker 2: It's to get you to the point where you don't
Speaker 2: know what to believe, and so you don't believe anything,
Speaker 2: which is a shame. I was going to go through
Speaker 2: a couple examples. He said, the CIA killed his uncle
Speaker 2: JFK was killed by the CIA, Sir Hen.
Speaker 4: Sir Hen did not kill his father RFK. The two
Speaker 4: thousand and four presidential election was stolen. He defended Putin
Speaker 4: in the invasion of Ukraine. There's a lot of examples
Speaker 4: out there of things he said. Now, is he just
Speaker 4: trying to be provocative, make a point, get an argument going.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Meat producers in America are a greater
Speaker 2: threat to the United States and democracy. That don't sew
Speaker 2: him a bid lot.
Speaker 4: In his Terra network, he's accused climate deniers of being
Speaker 4: traders and proposed they face criminal prosecution if you claim
Speaker 4: that climate change isn't the thing.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of these out there now. So he's
Speaker 2: a climate change superhero. Huh. The pushback on that, because
Speaker 2: I got an email from a longtime listener of our show,
Speaker 2: is these people who are saying that he said these
Speaker 2: things are in the pocket a big pharma or have
Speaker 2: their own issues. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I haven't done the deep dive on figuring that out.
Speaker 4: I have a feeling that a lot of that is
Speaker 4: going to be delved into Delvin delved We will delve
Speaker 4: into that, yes, delved into today between Republican and Democrat centers.
Speaker 2: We'll have some more on the way if you have
Speaker 2: a common and I'd be interested in what you think.
Speaker 2: Text Line four KFTC.
Speaker 6: Medical breakthrough dub the holy Grail of fertility research could
Speaker 6: allow for a baby to be made by just one person.
Speaker 6: So it's been real, man, we had a good run.
Speaker 2: Take care of y. You hear anything about that story,
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't doubt it. I'm not surprised by it.
Speaker 2: There's been a great effort. I mean, you don't need
Speaker 2: two people now. I mean some dude donate sperm somewhere.
Speaker 4: That reminds me I want to ban from the show
Speaker 4: the term dad joke. I'd like to ban it from society. Uh,
Speaker 4: Tony Romo used it during the Chiefs game the other day.
Speaker 4: Sorry for the dad joke, I thought, how did that?
Speaker 2: Why? I know how that caught on. It's part of
Speaker 2: that whole dad's are dumb thing. There's no mom joke.
Speaker 2: Mom jokes.
Speaker 4: Of course, if a mom tells a joke, of course
Speaker 4: it's witty and insightsful and creative and it should be repeated.
Speaker 4: And the clever and intelligent dad jokes dumb because dads
Speaker 4: are kind of dumb, and we just we just we
Speaker 4: just barely make it through life bumping into things with
Speaker 4: our dumb bodies and our dumb brains.
Speaker 2: That whole thing as a dad makes me so freaking mad.
Speaker 4: How dad get going? We all know in every ad
Speaker 4: you still see ads all the time. I don't watch
Speaker 4: sitcoms anymore. Dumb dads became the thing in sitcoms in
Speaker 4: like the nineties and the two thousands. But every ad
Speaker 4: it's the mom holding the family together and dad, dad
Speaker 4: can't figure out how to do this, or brun the
Speaker 4: TV or what's in the fridge, or dads can't do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know. The dad. The dumb dad guided
Speaker 2: by the wise woman has been a trope for a
Speaker 2: long time, but it's become like the exclusive way to
Speaker 2: present dads in the last forty years. Would I would
Speaker 2: just top of my head, what is one of the
Speaker 2: main things the radical left rails against all the time,
Speaker 2: the patriarchy? And if you portray any male as wise, kind, loving,
Speaker 2: any positive attribute whatsoever in any way, right, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you have set back the great war for humanity that
Speaker 2: the political left is so hardcore to win. To overturn
Speaker 2: society as it is in usher in a Marxist utopia,
Speaker 2: you've got to undermine every aspect of society that currently
Speaker 2: has respect and power.
Speaker 4: Imagine any commercial where the woman can't do something, get
Speaker 4: the TV going, or fix the car, or help the
Speaker 4: kids with homework.
Speaker 2: Pick a topic. I saw my first one and saw
Speaker 2: my fun boy. I don't know what it was, it's
Speaker 2: it's that great campaign for one of your insurance companies.
Speaker 2: I think, wouldn't it be great if there were backups
Speaker 2: in real life and the first couple were the guy
Speaker 2: who couldn't quite back the trailer into the driveway and
Speaker 2: they say Jones come in, and they bring in an
Speaker 2: NFL star who backs in successfully. Wouldn't it be great
Speaker 2: to have backups. They had. The third one I've seen
Speaker 2: was a woman who's struggling with the taxes and they
Speaker 2: called for a backup. The backup came in and did
Speaker 2: the taxes for and she's like, wow, I just I'm
Speaker 2: struggling today. And they're funny and nice commercials, but it
Speaker 2: struck me. I was like, oh my god. They did
Speaker 2: one with a woman, but it was a mail. It
Speaker 2: wasn't the dad, It wasn't the husband stepping in to
Speaker 2: fix the problem. No, gotcha. Oh no, not to assume
Speaker 2: he is an idiot. Yeah, that would be like shocking
Speaker 2: to the system. Well, a woman can't do something and
Speaker 2: the dad can. Well, oh this is awful. Well I
Speaker 2: tell you what, Let's have a bet and it'll never
Speaker 2: pay off. So you can bet as much as you want.
Speaker 2: You wait for the first time that happens, and I'll
Speaker 2: wait for the first show that has a black criminal
Speaker 2: victimizing a white person. So not using the DJ term anymore.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. It's insulting and not good for America.
Speaker 2: We got a lot on the way of continuing to
Speaker 2: watch the RFK junior hearing. If anything happens that's exciting
Speaker 2: will bring that to you. We got plenty of other
Speaker 2: stuff for you too. An armed foreign force is fired
Speaker 2: on our government and nobody's talking about it for some reason.
Speaker 3: Starts our only purpose, one all people share, is to
Speaker 3: search for ways to reduce the danger of nuclear war.
Speaker 1: In this Oval office speech, President Ronald Reagan outlined his
Speaker 1: plans for a missile defense system later nicknamed star Wars.
Speaker 1: On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order to build
Speaker 1: a next generation space based missile defense architecture to protect
Speaker 1: the US from threats posed by a new generation of
Speaker 1: hypersonic glide missiles. Another indication that space is becoming a
Speaker 1: war fighting domain.
Speaker 4: Should be included in that report was named star Wars
Speaker 4: by the people who were trying to deride it. Yes,
Speaker 4: they were trying to mock Old ron Reagan, for he
Speaker 4: saw star Wars now things we need to do this.
Speaker 4: If you're old enough to remember that it was seen
Speaker 4: as stupid by the mainstream media, it's now accepted as
Speaker 4: obviously something that needed to happen.
Speaker 2: And it was what five short years ago that the
Speaker 2: idea of the space force was just goffawed at by
Speaker 2: all of the intelligencia. Trump is so stupid, he thinks
Speaker 2: we're going to have what guardians of the galaxy? Man?
Speaker 2: Is he stupid? Now? Any country bigger than Guatemala that
Speaker 2: isn't exploring defense in the atmosphere in space is insane.
Speaker 2: It's going to be critically important going forward. Let's hear
Speaker 2: a little more Jennifer Griffin's report. We need to immediately
Speaker 2: begin the construction of a state of the art iron
Speaker 2: Dome missile defense shield which we'll be able to protect
Speaker 2: Americans a.
Speaker 1: Reference to israel short range missile defense system, but the
Speaker 1: Iron Dome only defense against short range missiles in a
Speaker 1: country the size of New Jersey.
Speaker 2: It's a metaphor.
Speaker 4: What this is about is, I would say, an agenda,
Speaker 4: a broad agenda for trying to get after the spectrum
Speaker 4: of air and missile threats. Yeah, and particularly, as she
Speaker 4: mentioned in that first clip, the hypersonic missiles that at
Speaker 4: least currently I think can get by our systems, which ain't.
Speaker 2: Good right right, and has been pointed out many times already.
Speaker 2: He says, iron Dome. It's a metaphor. It's a very
Speaker 2: different system than Israel would have. But to not thoroughly
Speaker 2: explore technological opportunities to deflect aggressive acts by bad actors.
Speaker 2: Why in the name of heaven would you not do that?
Speaker 2: I don't there's no argument. And if it turns out
Speaker 2: it's going to be cataclysmically expensive, all right, fine, well
Speaker 2: then we'll get those studies and think, yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: we don't have the money or we will. But anybody
Speaker 2: who poo poose this as a moron should be quiet. Oh,
Speaker 2: speaking of being a attack from foreign baddies. To point
Speaker 2: out yet again how the mainstream media is utterly incompetent
Speaker 2: and biased. Is the fund's gone out of it? It's
Speaker 2: just so obvious at this point. But the border patrol
Speaker 2: has come under fire several times in recent days from
Speaker 2: Mexican drug cartels. Foreign armed groups are attacking our people
Speaker 2: on our soil on a semi regular basis. Now point
Speaker 2: out to me, please, when in the history of humankind
Speaker 2: in any nation that sort of thing has been fundamentally ignored? Ever,
Speaker 2: I'll wait, is it? Because once you acknowledge that a
Speaker 2: bunch of things, big things need to happen, and we're
Speaker 2: trying to get it settled before you have to do
Speaker 2: those big things. But the complicity of the New York
Speaker 2: Times in this, for instance, is are they being quiet
Speaker 2: about it because they want to? I think the diplomacy
Speaker 2: work beyond the scenes. I think that would be just, uh,
Speaker 2: you don't want to portray anything from Mexico as bad, right,
Speaker 2: because that seems I don't know nationalists. I've I've heard
Speaker 2: of these Christian nationalists and how dangerous they're white support
Speaker 2: racists or at the very least in agreement with Trump. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and I could go into detail, but trust me when
Speaker 2: I say there are heavily armed these trucks that look
Speaker 2: a lot like you know, our are fighting vehicles, super
Speaker 2: heavy duty all terrain with a machine gun mounted on
Speaker 2: the top of them, and soldiers quote unquote working in
Speaker 2: and around them occasionally squeezing off multiple shots. That are
Speaker 2: people along the border. Is any good? It's It's absolutely shocking,
Speaker 2: totally totally different topic, and I've wanted to talk about this,
Speaker 2: you know, it occurred to me. I think I've got
Speaker 2: the perfect metaphor for Trump in his administration, because you know,
Speaker 2: he he does stuff that's not a good idea at times,
Speaker 2: and he nominates people in my mind that are terrible
Speaker 2: nominees just because they kissed his ass or they were
Speaker 2: loyal to him and and you know what, either of
Speaker 2: the Senate sens were no on this one, like Matt Gates,
Speaker 2: who was a terrible choice from the beginning, or have
Speaker 2: you watched a workout in the end. Matt Gates was
Speaker 2: on Bill Maher's Basement show for like a Knowledge. I
Speaker 2: want to tune that in that to be interesting. Bill Maher,
Speaker 2: a comedian Friday Night hbo Hoo sas this other show
Speaker 2: that he does where he's basically sitting in the basement
Speaker 2: and talks to people length. It's like a podcast on video.
Speaker 2: But he had Matt Gates on, so I want to
Speaker 2: check that out. Yeah, it was Gates drinking and burning
Speaker 2: one down with the mar which some teenage girls. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Oh see, that was out of bounds, right,
Speaker 2: there was it? Out of bounds? You're the chiefs. Anyway,
Speaker 2: getting back to my main point, this headline Trump signed.
Speaker 2: Oh I came up with a perfect metaphor for Trump
Speaker 2: because he's doing so many things that are just so great.
Speaker 2: But he creates, he hands his opponent's clubs to beat
Speaker 2: him with, and frequently steps on his own messaging and
Speaker 2: the rest of that. He's like a great gifted musician
Speaker 2: but whether it's personality or drugs or liquor or whatever,
Speaker 2: you're never quite sure if they're going to do the
Speaker 2: right thing for themselves and the band and whatever else.
Speaker 2: He's incredibly gifted. He's got the don't give a damn
Speaker 2: that's necessary to confront well, the swamp and all these
Speaker 2: entrenched practices and bureaucracies and budgets and the rest of it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't care. And he is in a brilliant way
Speaker 2: confronting that stuff like it had to be confronted, but
Speaker 2: never is. At the same time, you'll nominate a Matt Gates,
Speaker 2: and he just reminds me of musicians I've known who
Speaker 2: are just brilliant, but they keep getting in their own way.
Speaker 2: And the question is will his brilliance win the day
Speaker 2: over the long term? Are Willy finally, you know, step
Speaker 2: in it badly enough that you know that either the
Speaker 2: support falls apart or they can impeach him or whatever.
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to watch. But speaking of the great
Speaker 2: things he's doing, Trump signed. The headline is Trump signs
Speaker 2: Executive Order protecting children from chemical and surgical gender mutilation,
Speaker 2: which is so much more an accurate headline. It's from
Speaker 2: the National Review than you would ever see about gender
Speaker 2: affirming care in the most of the mainstream media. But
Speaker 2: Trump issued the executive order yesterday to ban the chemical
Speaker 2: and surgical mutilation of children, known among progressive id logs
Speaker 2: as gender affirming care. The act will cut back federal
Speaker 2: funding for medical institutions that provide puberty blockers, hormone therapies,
Speaker 2: and surgical mutilations to minors. Trump declared in the order,
Speaker 2: and I quote across the country today, medical professionals are
Speaker 2: maiming and sterilizing, absolutely true, a growing number of impressionable
Speaker 2: children under the radical and false claims that adult el
Speaker 2: can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible
Speaker 2: medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on
Speaker 2: our nation's history and it must end. Ah, that is
Speaker 2: very true. And also that puts US in step with
Speaker 2: most of Europe. Oh yeah, yeah, we are like wildly
Speaker 2: radical on this stuff compared to Europe, which innovated a
Speaker 2: lot of it quote unquote, then did careful actual studies
Speaker 2: of the results of it and realized a lot of
Speaker 2: the positive claims were fraudulent. And any reasonable study of
Speaker 2: this stuff shows that it is a permanent and B
Speaker 2: shows no signs of actually helping people's long term mental health,
Speaker 2: and it's not going to I've said this before, and
Speaker 2: I will stand by these words. And if there are
Speaker 2: rare cases of quote unquote gender dysphoria that don't fit this,
Speaker 2: I will listen and I will learn, and I will
Speaker 2: admit it the moment I'm convinced it's true. Okay, there
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that are alienated oncometrible, neurotic, afraid, anxious, depressed, whatever,
Speaker 2: in including myself at times, and the idea of becoming
Speaker 2: a completely different person is so incredibly intoxicating. And Jack,
Speaker 2: you've talked about this, you know, in conjunction with substance
Speaker 2: abuse and stuff like that. Sometimes people just think if
Speaker 2: they change where they are or the house they have,
Speaker 2: the car they have, the woman or man they're married
Speaker 2: to or with, if they can just change that, they
Speaker 2: will be happy, they will fit in, they will be
Speaker 2: popular at the rest of it. It's incredibly alluring. And
Speaker 2: if you get a confused adolescent it was unpopular, autistic, anxious,
Speaker 2: terrified of womanhood or puberty or whatever, one hundred different things,
Speaker 2: and you sell them on the idea that hey, you're
Speaker 2: actually a different person, a different person who will get
Speaker 2: all sorts of a approval and love and you'll be popular.
Speaker 2: Look you even saying you're curious about changing your sex
Speaker 2: they say gender, even just hinting that you're thinking about it.
Speaker 2: Look at all this approval and love you've gotten online.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you're somebody different and everyone loves you.
Speaker 2: That is what's happening here. And when a couple of
Speaker 2: years down the line they realize, oh my god, I've
Speaker 2: allowed myself to be mutilated. I can never have children.
Speaker 2: I'm unhappy and precisely the same ways that I used
Speaker 2: to be, But now I'm a dude who looks slightly
Speaker 2: like a woman. Great, that's not a solution. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: get the encouragement, and you're being called brave. Who wants
Speaker 2: to walk away from being called brave, especially as a
Speaker 2: confused adolescent to pray on? I mean, people who prey
Speaker 2: on like confused oldsters and steal their life savings are
Speaker 2: rightfully seen as monsters. Monsters, but people who for idea
Speaker 2: logical reasons do the same thing to confuse adolescents and
Speaker 2: to call them brave and use the techniques I've been
Speaker 2: describing and then when they show up to the clinics,
Speaker 2: don't do any counseling whatsoever. They don't ask them, Oh
Speaker 2: you were raped as a child. That might have a
Speaker 2: role in your fearing puberty. Oh you're autistic, Oh you
Speaker 2: have underlying psychological problems. They don't even ask those questions.
Speaker 2: Those people are monsters. I prefer the people stealing from
Speaker 2: old people because at least I get their brand of evil.
Speaker 2: End of screed. So the new Transportation Secretary just put
Speaker 2: a big knife in the whole evy mandate thing. Thank
Speaker 2: God or sanity, Yeah, more sanity, cut the crap or
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 4: What did Trump call it? The return to common sense
Speaker 4: or something like that. Love it got a couple examples
Speaker 4: of that. Also, are you downloading that new Chinese AI app?
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that?
Speaker 4: But a little more information about that, stay tuned.
Speaker 3: I don't want to take food away from anybody. If
Speaker 3: you like a cheesebag McDonald's cheezburger, which my boss loves,
Speaker 3: you should be able to get them. If you want
Speaker 3: to eat hostest dwinkies, you should be able to do that.
Speaker 3: But you should know what the impacts are on your family.
Speaker 2: And on your house. Do we not already? And I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to be controversial here, I just do we
Speaker 2: I thought we did. Aren't the ingredients everywhere? Aren't they
Speaker 2: already posted on all that stuff? It's hard for me
Speaker 2: to imagine somebody who doesn't understand the ramifications of eating
Speaker 2: a bunch of that and swinging down a bunch of pop.
Speaker 4: Sometimes starting the conversation is I don't know enough, but
Speaker 4: a big deal. A lot of the talk about processed
Speaker 4: food and what's in food and everything like that comes
Speaker 4: from RFK Junior going around the country talking about it.
Speaker 4: A lot of the national conversation around this he got going,
Speaker 4: no doubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I almost feel like with RFK Junior, you have
Speaker 2: to like make clear, all right, everything we talk about
Speaker 2: in reference to him is on its own. It's not
Speaker 2: a leap toward therefore he should be in charge of everything, right,
Speaker 2: it's just a sub discussion. And to that point, that's
Speaker 2: absolutely true. My God, look at look at us as
Speaker 2: a people. We're fed up, pardon me, in terms of
Speaker 2: our health and our diets and all sorts of things psychology,
Speaker 2: for whatever reasons, at least, let's talk about it all
Speaker 2: the time. How many times have we uttered the sentence
Speaker 2: or the phrase Jack. This ought to be the biggest
Speaker 2: story in the world. We ought to be talking about
Speaker 2: this every single day. Well we're talking about it more so.
Speaker 2: He's still testifying right now.
Speaker 4: RFK Junior very tan and Hanson pointed out good point, Hanson,
Speaker 4: he's not wearing He's a very stylish guy. I was
Speaker 4: actually thinking watching him, I need to get a custom
Speaker 4: My suit's custom made. Because you get your suit's custom made,
Speaker 4: they just fit you better, you just look better.
Speaker 2: He's a Kennedy, though I'm not a Kennedy. That's why
Speaker 2: I buy off the wreck.
Speaker 4: But he's wearing the same suit that his dad and
Speaker 4: uncle war back in the early sixties, even though that's
Speaker 4: not really the style right now. The super skinny tie
Speaker 4: and that collar. He just wants to evoke the whole
Speaker 4: Kennedy thing.
Speaker 2: Very clever. I wonder if he has to get those
Speaker 2: special made, because that's.
Speaker 4: Not really what people are wearing, but nobody gets I
Speaker 4: need the early sixties.
Speaker 2: Kennedy suits and they make them for him. Look sharp.
Speaker 2: He's a little two tan. I feel like it if
Speaker 2: you got the white hair and you get that tan,
Speaker 2: whoo I'm hearing racism there or something.
Speaker 4: A couple of quick things that are actually important. First
Speaker 4: of all, this our new transportation secretary. Name him off
Speaker 4: the top of your head, you can't. It's Sean Deffy. Duffy.
Speaker 4: He acxed Biden's Cafe Fuel Economy Standards caf E.
Speaker 2: It's a whatever. It is an acronym for something. It was.
Speaker 4: It's an acronym for government forcing you an electric car.
Speaker 4: And he acts those and he said it's needlessly driven
Speaker 4: up the cost of all cars in order to push
Speaker 4: a radical green New Deal agenda, which is absolutely true.
Speaker 4: So now these car companies aren't going to have to
Speaker 4: make a whole bunch of cars that they know nobody's
Speaker 4: going to buy, and of course, how do they pay
Speaker 4: for them. They have to raise the price of all
Speaker 4: the other cars that you actually do buy. I know
Speaker 4: this from a guy who owns a car dealership. I
Speaker 4: have to have this number of electric cars on my
Speaker 4: lot to be part of my fleet, to be in business,
Speaker 4: and nobody wants them.
Speaker 2: And as we've gone over many times, the net environmental
Speaker 2: effect of electric cars is unknown at best. Right, good point,
Speaker 2: different topic.
Speaker 4: So took out a bunch of information yesterday about that
Speaker 4: new Chinese AI thing and whether or not it's as
Speaker 4: big a deal as everybody says it is or not,
Speaker 4: and all that.
Speaker 2: I find that fascinating and time will tell.
Speaker 4: But it is the number one app in the Apple
Speaker 4: Store and the Google Store for androids.
Speaker 2: And I don't know why you're all downloading so eagerly
Speaker 2: Chinese apps. I don't quite get that. I think it's
Speaker 2: just curiosity. In this case, it got so much coverage.
Speaker 2: Don't you care about the I care about handing over
Speaker 2: every key stroke I make to other, to any even
Speaker 2: American companies, lit alone a Chinese place. But so if
Speaker 2: you go on to that new AI thing from China
Speaker 2: and ask what happened in Tienaman Square in nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 2: their answer will be I'm sorry, I cannot answer that question.
Speaker 2: I'm an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses.
Speaker 4: If you ask the same Chinese app what happened in
Speaker 4: Ohio in nineteen seventy. In nineteen seventy, Ohio was the
Speaker 4: site of a significant historical event, most notably the Kent
Speaker 4: State shootings in nineteen seventy. The tragic incident occurred during
Speaker 4: a period of widespread protests of the Vietnam War. So
Speaker 4: it has it's US history fairly nailed down. It's Chinese
Speaker 4: history that everybody knows. That makes the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 4: look bad.
Speaker 2: Not so much. Yeah, look like murderous monsters. Yeah, not surprising.
Speaker 2: That is going to be man, that's the common future
Speaker 2: is I mean, we think that people are bubbled at
Speaker 2: countries are bubbled. Billions of people will be bubbled. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just reading about Kim Jong UN's desperation to
Speaker 2: keep the outside world out of North Korean. How that's
Speaker 2: getting harder and harder, because if they can pierce the illusion,
Speaker 2: or if the illusion is pierced that they are a
Speaker 2: socialist paradise and everybody else is way poorer and way
Speaker 2: more miserable than North Korean's, it's all over the scam ends.
Speaker 4: Hey, this is really interesting. Let me see if I
Speaker 4: can jam this in. This is from the New York Times,
Speaker 4: which I don't always agree with. But when the market's
Speaker 4: lost a sunning one trillion dollars of value on Monday,
Speaker 4: as many economic commentators nihilists are making sense of the
Speaker 4: news of the new AI platform, I started thinking about
Speaker 4: a serpent eating its own tail. And he talked to
Speaker 4: this Harvard Business School, Harvard economist or whatever. I got
Speaker 4: to jump ahead here because I thought this is interesting.
Speaker 4: He believes that the investors are flooding the magnificence that'd
Speaker 4: be these seven tech giants that really are driving the
Speaker 4: entire SMB five hundred thing, whose valuations currently make up
Speaker 4: over thirty percent of the market capitalization, with cheap money
Speaker 4: making it easy for these forms to pour capital into
Speaker 4: investments with each other, And that these companies have been
Speaker 4: eating their own tails for the last several years and
Speaker 4: that is about to come to an end.
Speaker 2: That's a fascinating thought. I don't know if it's true
Speaker 2: or not. Speaking of major revelations Next Hour, why everybody's
Speaker 2: so anxious and depressed? I've figured it out. Isn't that handy?
