Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arm Strong and Joe Getty arm
Speaker 1: Strong and Jetty and.
Speaker 2: Arm Drawn.
Speaker 1: Fine, I've dropped like seven things today. Is that a
Speaker 1: sign of something?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Definitely, definitely terrible brain tumor? Probably you've dropped things? How interesting?
Speaker 1: Like I like you go to set something on a
Speaker 1: counter but not set it far enough on the counter
Speaker 1: that it falls off. M Like I did that with
Speaker 1: a pillow and soap and puffy, and I've done that
Speaker 1: with a bunch of things. I'm just wondering. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: my depth perception. Are those glasses you're wearing? Oh, I
Speaker 1: got like eight pairs of glasses, So I don't know
Speaker 1: how Sam, I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2: I'm just a doctor, That's right.
Speaker 1: It just seems weird.
Speaker 2: I just keeped I just did it.
Speaker 1: I just said down my key fob and that fell
Speaker 1: on the floor. It's like, why do I Why does
Speaker 1: this keep happening?
Speaker 2: That is clearly a case of perceptionium dementium.
Speaker 1: Besides gravity being playing a role live from Studio c
Speaker 1: Csony Or it is a dimly lit room deput on
Speaker 1: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. I
Speaker 1: can't wait for the text. Of course, that'll be my own.
Speaker 1: That happened in my own WI he was dead. He
Speaker 1: was dead by the afternoon. He didn't make it to
Speaker 1: lunch anyway. It's the Armstrong and Getty showed today. We're
Speaker 1: toiling under the title of the show, Iran shoots at
Speaker 1: the Straight, But are they straight shooters?
Speaker 3: Kind of like that one or if you prefer Francesca Hong,
Speaker 3: she's the socialist half wit there in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: She is a half wit.
Speaker 3: Francesca Hong makes aoc look like Margaret Thatcher.
Speaker 1: Or Stephen Hawking.
Speaker 3: In terms of react, I'm a, ah, yeah, trying stick
Speaker 3: with female politicians, but yeah, yeah, holy cow, there's there's
Speaker 3: an update to her sad sack story.
Speaker 1: I was listening to NPR and their headline was Iran
Speaker 1: has accepted a deal to open the Straight of hor
Speaker 1: moves and then it laid out the terms where they
Speaker 1: control the state straight in charge of toll and I thought,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. It's like my kid walking in and saying
Speaker 1: I've approved a deal for me getting a car. This
Speaker 1: is the car we're getting and I will have it
Speaker 1: this weekend, and I've approved it, I've signed it, and
Speaker 1: I'm in full agreement.
Speaker 2: Right, what makes that the way agreements work?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: Son?
Speaker 1: Anyway NPR presented it, it's like it's a one sided deal,
Speaker 1: which it is, but it doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: What's it like inside their brains over there? I think
Speaker 3: they actually believe this stuff.
Speaker 1: So what do you think is gonna happen there? Trump's
Speaker 1: just gonna say no, and then we're not going to
Speaker 1: remove the blockade.
Speaker 3: And or I heard yesterday, I think it was last
Speaker 3: night on the news they're bandying about specific amounts of tolls.
Speaker 3: Oh Ron saying seven percent, O Man saying let's go
Speaker 3: for like two three percent?
Speaker 2: Come on now?
Speaker 1: So is that getting to what I said yesterday? I
Speaker 1: think that the end result is going to be there
Speaker 1: will be a straight somewhere in the world, a waterway
Speaker 1: that has a toll on it for the first time
Speaker 1: in modern history, and it's just going to be the
Speaker 1: way it is.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, there's no indication, there was
Speaker 3: no comment from American officials about it, but you you know,
Speaker 3: posited yesterday that you Trump doesn't care that much about
Speaker 3: that issue. So if it ends the war, set back
Speaker 3: the nuclear program, they're going to charge oil tankers of
Speaker 3: a few million bucks.
Speaker 2: It's called us good. He's gonna call it a win.
Speaker 1: He also has the attitude of it ain't that much
Speaker 1: of virail tomorrow, Europe, in China, you're Japan. You want
Speaker 1: to open it and go ahead, feel free. But you
Speaker 1: know it's another drag on the world economy end quote unquote. Affordability,
Speaker 1: which is Trump's unwillingness or inability to do the things
Speaker 1: that it would take to make things more affordable, have
Speaker 1: really really surprised me, because that's why he got reelected.
Speaker 3: The economy was great under Trump. We didn't have this
Speaker 3: eigh inflation. Let's try him again.
Speaker 1: You know what I did early this morning, I for
Speaker 1: whatever reason woke up and couldn't go back to sleep
Speaker 1: and felt well rested, and probably this brain tumor that
Speaker 1: is causing me to drop things off the edge of things.
Speaker 1: But a scroll in media, because that's the best thing
Speaker 1: to do when you can't sleep, is to just start
Speaker 1: scrolling Twitter. But actually is reading Mark Halpern's newsletter, and
Speaker 1: it had a link in there to this Hassan piker character,
Speaker 1: which I gotta admit I'm late on a lot of
Speaker 1: my favorite podcasts. You other people have been talking about
Speaker 1: him for now, for six months, nine months, and I
Speaker 1: just have been thinking, Nah, I ain't got time for that.
Speaker 1: It'll go away. But he's pretty big deal apparently. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I followed one of the links to his actual Twitch feed.
Speaker 1: That's where he does his show on Twitch, and he
Speaker 1: does one looks like pretty much every day and they
Speaker 1: vary from an hour and a half to six hours long.
Speaker 1: He sits there in a room and talks and it's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. It made me feel incredibly old in that
Speaker 1: the new media is just I mean, it's the stuff
Speaker 1: my kids are into, what they expect when they go
Speaker 1: to a show or I don't even know what the
Speaker 1: right term would be content. I'm using my finger quotes
Speaker 1: for show. But what my kids expect is completely different
Speaker 1: what I expect, just because what I grew up with,
Speaker 1: I expect like a beginning of middle and end, an intro,
Speaker 1: a theme, you know some And it's just everything with
Speaker 1: the young people is just so frantic and haphazard and
Speaker 1: random seeming to me, it's hard for me to follow,
Speaker 1: Like my kids will always say, check out this meme
Speaker 1: and it's just like to me, it's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what this is, but it has an
Speaker 1: impact on them. And Hassan Piker's show is a lot
Speaker 1: like that. He clearly and he's a young guy, early thirties,
Speaker 1: he something like that. He has that modern vidia vibe,
Speaker 1: which again made me feel tremendously old. So part of
Speaker 1: it is just the kind of content that it is.
Speaker 1: And he's got a bunch of screens open and he's
Speaker 1: taken in. He just sits down and starts talking and
Speaker 1: uh like, no, hey, how you doing, or today we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about or whatever, the sort of stuff
Speaker 1: we old people do. He's just it's just like he
Speaker 1: doesn't even know the audience is there. And then he's
Speaker 1: just reading comments and reacting to them. Without reading the comments,
Speaker 1: he just reacts to him. I don't know, I've never
Speaker 1: seen that before. Yeah, I'm watching the new Ted last
Speaker 1: So what does the deal with that guy? Is he retarded?
Speaker 1: I've just I've never understood what's with Ted Lightso is
Speaker 1: he retarded guy? I mean, just stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: then it'd be back into politics and the Jews or whatever,
Speaker 1: and millions of people watching him every single day, right right,
Speaker 1: and a powerful political force. And it was a little
Speaker 1: discouraging to me that I'm so far out of understanding
Speaker 1: the news flow, the information flow, that'd be the proper term.
Speaker 2: Probably.
Speaker 1: I so don't understand the information flow of today. Luckily,
Speaker 1: those who do it the way we do it are
Speaker 1: the ones that are doing most of the voting and
Speaker 1: controlling most of the power still because a lot of
Speaker 1: those people that take in that that information don't vote,
Speaker 1: thank god yet. But I don't even know what's going
Speaker 1: on there. I can't even figure out what it is.
Speaker 3: I think part of it is famously, undeniably many many
Speaker 3: young people's.
Speaker 2: Lives are online.
Speaker 3: They don't have real friends, yes, real encounters and real interactions.
Speaker 1: That's clearly part of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And these folks are taking the place of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is clearly part of it. And I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have left that out, because that's what occurred to me,
Speaker 1: is just these are people who live online, and it's
Speaker 1: relatable because he's just hanging out of his house talking
Speaker 1: at a screen, not really looking at it, kind of
Speaker 1: just you know, walking around and doing other things and
Speaker 1: drinking coffee and petting his dog and sometimes he's over
Speaker 1: here not near the microphone and whatever. But the people
Speaker 1: at home are doing the same thing. They just have
Speaker 1: their screen open, having a conversation, kind of half paying attention,
Speaker 1: and and they all just hang out together all day long.
Speaker 1: And that might be where you know that next generation
Speaker 1: is gonna live in terms of information flow. They just
Speaker 1: like you said, it's just they're online all the time,
Speaker 1: just kind of hanging out. It's the it's the crowd
Speaker 1: that you see walking down the street always have their
Speaker 1: phone open. Then there's somebody on there while they're walking,
Speaker 1: and it always seems weird to be like you're not
Speaker 1: engaged in the conversation. You can hear both ends of it,
Speaker 1: and they're just kind of have their phone out and
Speaker 1: they're sitting on a bus to Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: that foot hurts today. Hey did you see that thing
Speaker 1: the other day where just it's just random they're hanging out.
Speaker 1: They're just hanging out, but instead of together in a room,
Speaker 1: the room is online, I guess. And that's what the
Speaker 1: news is today.
Speaker 3: As a political scientist, I find myself wondering, uh, how
Speaker 3: in the world you might counter that not that it
Speaker 3: needs to happen exactly, but it's an intriguing thought experiment.
Speaker 2: You can't fake it, no.
Speaker 1: No, no one thing. You know what you reminded me
Speaker 1: of a lot early Rush Limbaugh's That's what he really
Speaker 1: reminded me of. It's the modern version of he is
Speaker 1: tapped into a crowd that doesn't feel like anybody gets them,
Speaker 1: like Rush did. I remember Chris Matthews on MSNBC talking
Speaker 1: about Russian in the early day, saying, there's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of guys out there driving around, feel like they're
Speaker 1: getting screwed. Their family treats them like an atm, their
Speaker 1: boss over uses them, blah blah blah, and nobody speaks
Speaker 1: for them. And then comes along Rush Limbaugh and he does.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think this Hassan Piker guy is that for
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of young people, not just on the
Speaker 1: jew thing, just on a whole bunch of difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's just a shame that so many of those voices
Speaker 3: are so perverse and believe such sick stuff, including socialism,
Speaker 3: which is the you know, the velvet glove over the
Speaker 3: iron hand, right.
Speaker 1: I think it might be this Hassan Piker dude is smart.
Speaker 1: For one thing, He's very smart, very quick man. His
Speaker 1: mind is it's it's incredible the way he takes in
Speaker 1: information and responds to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: I think he might have all that stuff I just
Speaker 1: said with an agenda that he slips in as often
Speaker 1: as he can, as opposed to just like Russia Limbaugh's agenda,
Speaker 1: our agenda try to stay employed in a business that
Speaker 1: has this very specific model for listeners and advertising and
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. I think the Hassan Pikers of
Speaker 1: the world have a I hate Jews and want them
Speaker 1: to go to Way agenda or whatever they got to
Speaker 1: work in all the time, right, right, It's interesting though
Speaker 1: it's a different world. I don't have to try to
Speaker 1: compete in that world, no, in that way, because I couldn't.
Speaker 3: Right right, It's a really interesting phenomenon. What's next is
Speaker 3: the question I think. But I'm utterly flabbergasted by the
Speaker 3: whole time.
Speaker 1: I would recommend checking it out if you haven't anybody
Speaker 1: like him, just to know that's that's where that whole
Speaker 1: younger crowd that you don't understand what's going on and
Speaker 1: why do they believe this? And blah, blah blah. You
Speaker 1: know all the people that don't, they can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that I ever even mentioned the
Speaker 1: Evening News or sixty Minutes or the New York Times
Speaker 1: is hilarious to all of those people. And you should
Speaker 1: tune in sometimes and see that's the next group of
Speaker 1: people that are going to run this country. That's where
Speaker 1: they're hanging out, and that's where they're having their national conversations.
Speaker 3: God help us, we had we had a few listeners
Speaker 3: recommend a particular quote unquote show that was about Iran
Speaker 3: and the Iran War and that it was the best
Speaker 3: source of information. It was one of the it was
Speaker 3: real time monitoring the news, open source intel type things.
Speaker 2: But it was so scattered and slow paced.
Speaker 3: I mean it was it would be utterly content free
Speaker 3: for seven to eight minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of the deal.
Speaker 2: What happened.
Speaker 1: That's part of the deal with this crowd. Scattered definitely
Speaker 1: and very relaxed. You go off on a tangent about
Speaker 1: nothing for five minutes, then you come back to the topic.
Speaker 1: Because everybody at home, I think because they don't.
Speaker 3: Have jobs and is playing a video game on their phone. Yes,
Speaker 3: or scrolling Twitter and half listening. Yes, that is clearly
Speaker 3: the case that they're just kind of half paying attention.
Speaker 1: Now, it's wild. Yeah, I recommend checking it out just
Speaker 1: so you know what's going on. That's I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's the future, it's the present for a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Anyway, we got to start the show officially.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday,
Speaker 1: August seventh, your twenty twenty sixth Armstrong. You're getting we
Speaker 1: approve this year program.
Speaker 3: Let's speaking then officially, according to f CC rules, regular shoes.
Speaker 3: Here we go jumping into action at mark.
Speaker 2: My god, I got it. I caught the show.
Speaker 1: I got in the face and caught a shoe.
Speaker 2: Who shoe do I have?
Speaker 1: You know what's most interesting to me is that Michaelangelo
Speaker 1: has been pushing that clip on us the entire week.
Speaker 1: He was so excited about a guy on a roller
Speaker 1: coaster getting hit with someone shoe and catching it and.
Speaker 2: Evidently doing play by play on the shoe incident.
Speaker 1: Anyway, is he okay, Michael, as far as you.
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, everything's fine.
Speaker 1: It's just a father out with his family and having fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Roller coaster went upside down.
Speaker 1: The shoe hit him in the face, and I said.
Speaker 2: I got it by a shoe and I caught it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was at the state for the oll.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 1: I was at the state Fair with my two kids
Speaker 1: in the other day, and we were all in agreement
Speaker 1: that we're so happy that we never have to ride
Speaker 1: rides again in our lives. There's no reason for us
Speaker 1: to ever do that again. I don't have to, like
Speaker 1: with them, because they're kids, they don't have to maybe
Speaker 1: when they have kids, but whatever, no time soon do
Speaker 1: any of us ever have to ride it because I
Speaker 1: have has no appeal for me whatsoever. Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want that. We got to get to the headlines.
Speaker 1: We got mail bag, we got clips of the week,
Speaker 1: We got so much stuff today, August seventh is maybe
Speaker 1: the most important date in my history, which I in
Speaker 1: my life, which I will talk about later, and a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other stuff. So to stay here, Hey,
Speaker 1: I use it up all our time rambling for a segment.
Speaker 1: But Katie asked me later about my crock pop meal
Speaker 1: from last night, because you've been pushing me on the
Speaker 1: crockpot for a long Okay, all right, well.
Speaker 2: CROC talk coming up, stay with us.
Speaker 1: Let's figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story
Speaker 1: with Katy Green Katie hit it all.
Speaker 4: Right, Well for the sake of time, three Alphabet Network, CNN, NBC,
Speaker 4: and Fox all leading with Murkowski to oppose Todd blanche nomination.
Speaker 1: So does that mean he's doomed or does it just
Speaker 1: make it more difficult hanging by a thread? Okay, and
Speaker 1: he's the Attorney general?
Speaker 2: It would be here acting now. Yeah, ABC.
Speaker 4: Crucially, US missile stockpiles quote extremely low.
Speaker 1: According to officials, This is an incredibly important story that
Speaker 1: is either completely true, completely false, or halfway. And I
Speaker 1: don't know which do you?
Speaker 3: I would guess halfway Ish don't have time to discuss
Speaker 3: it now. But yeah, there's absolutely truth to it. I
Speaker 3: think it may be overstated by people with an agenda,
Speaker 3: I hope.
Speaker 1: So if it's if people are covering up the fact
Speaker 1: that we're dangerously low, that would be horrified. Speaking of
Speaker 1: horrifying from the New York Times, frightening China's robots no
Speaker 1: kung fu and now can scale walls? No kno kung Fu? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: I thought you meant no kung ful out among our robots.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, kung fu they can they can
Speaker 1: do the kung fu.
Speaker 2: They can come over the wall.
Speaker 3: Then kung fu your ass great, super Well, that'll be
Speaker 3: fun nightmares tonight. Huh.
Speaker 1: And if I end up in a kung fu fight
Speaker 1: with a Chinese robot, I'm gonna think, where has my
Speaker 1: life gone wrong?
Speaker 2: I told you this would That's what I do be thinking.
Speaker 4: From the Wall Street Journal, the rise of the one
Speaker 4: hundred dollars hot dog, premium toppings and extravagant presentations are
Speaker 4: pushing hot dogs into the realm of the new hot cuisine.
Speaker 2: M that's you can go ahead and put that hot
Speaker 2: dog somewhere.
Speaker 1: So hot dogs are having a moment. Somebody hit me
Speaker 1: yesterday with though, you got to try this new hot
Speaker 1: dog place. It's epic. So okay, So hot dogs are
Speaker 1: a thing now. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And finally, from the Babylon b update, the Moroccans who
Speaker 4: invaded Spain are now registered to vote.
Speaker 2: In New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Hey, Politico admitted the other day it's probably more than
Speaker 3: six thousand motor voter. I mean it just leads to
Speaker 3: foreigner's non citizens getting registered. Yeah, that's I wish somebody
Speaker 3: on the right side of the aisle had been saying
Speaker 3: that for I don't know, twenty five years, Politico, But
Speaker 3: thanks for coming along in.
Speaker 1: A fight with a Chinese kung fu robot. I told
Speaker 1: you this would happen. That's very funny. We got a
Speaker 1: lot on the way to here, Armstrong and Getty. So
Speaker 1: the political media I take in podcast stuff I read
Speaker 1: and everything like that, it's probably going to be like
Speaker 1: eighty five percent the Michigan race for the next three months,
Speaker 1: and we probably ought to try to avoid doing that. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's easy to get sucked into that. But do have
Speaker 1: some interesting stuff, including the new poll that shows he's
Speaker 1: ahead of Mike Rodgers at the current point. So the
Speaker 1: hole he can't win if he gets a nomination, that's
Speaker 1: out the door already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose so, although it is very very easy
Speaker 3: for us and even you folks listening perhaps to overestimate
Speaker 3: how much the average voter knows, how much they're in touch,
Speaker 3: how much they've heard, how much they've read. For a
Speaker 3: lot of people, it's practically nothing even a political story
Speaker 3: this big.
Speaker 2: So that pole could change a great deal.
Speaker 3: You can introduce it or no, oh my god, oh
Speaker 3: my god. I wondered why you're looking at me like that.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I think I'm making a pretty good point.
Speaker 1: He's clapping, Hansen's doing high vibes to himself. Everybody's excited,
Speaker 1: perverse and idiotic. Anytime, anytime one of the hosts forgets
Speaker 1: our benchmark Friday bit for sor it's celebration for everyone
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 2: Are starved for entertainment.
Speaker 3: Everybody says the things right, all right, you deplicitus, bastards.
Speaker 3: Let's let's see Friday tradition apparently. Let's take a fun
Speaker 3: look back at the week it was. It's cow clips
Speaker 3: of the week.
Speaker 1: It's cow. They call it cow clips of the week.
Speaker 2: It's cow.
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Strait, the opening of the Strait,
Speaker 1: having it opened literally by tomorrow. The IRGC is continuing
Speaker 1: attacks in the goal. We are attack that would be
Speaker 1: the biggest attack since World War Two.
Speaker 2: The first time Iran is getting specific about what's in
Speaker 2: a deal. This is the last chance for them to
Speaker 2: sign a good document. There is so much more that
Speaker 2: unites us than divides us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kim in the street, you're not going to be
Speaker 1: in the same party with San Prik. I can tell
Speaker 1: you that right now.
Speaker 5: Thankskeeping is also a time that's incredibly painful for many
Speaker 5: people in our communities.
Speaker 1: Did you ever support a self described socialist candidate?
Speaker 2: No, no way, no.
Speaker 1: Let the streets soak in their red capitalist blow. Republican
Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio calling his former son in law,
Speaker 1: Ohio Congressman Max Miller a madman. This is truly the seventh.
Speaker 2: Level of health.
Speaker 3: Look, he called me, and he said Max, He said, Maxie,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're gonna be able to, you know,
Speaker 3: pull this one out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plead the fifth Okay, okay, talk to get
Speaker 1: up there and start talking to you know. He didn't
Speaker 1: know anything really about anything, and I'd say that to
Speaker 1: his face.
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 5: There's a divergence of interest between parents and children. It's
Speaker 5: likelier that young people, not people who are raising families,
Speaker 5: will have the best insight into the interests of children. Five.
Speaker 1: I think that even asked, are you surprised? Six South
Speaker 1: Let's just say, but I'd go up to Lebron's names.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, I say, Lebron, did you ever have
Speaker 2: any desire to be a woman?
Speaker 1: Because what I'd love you to do is star on
Speaker 1: my team that I'm building up, all the land on
Speaker 1: and the whole love on the WNBA. I just sent
Speaker 1: hands in a clip. There's a couple of NBA stars
Speaker 1: maybe you don't know, they're kind of low level stars,
Speaker 1: but sitting around talking about at what age they would
Speaker 1: have dominated the WNBA, respectfully saying full respect for these women.
Speaker 1: It's not their following anything like that. We're just pointing
Speaker 1: out how much different it is between men and women.
Speaker 1: And they're gone. I think when I was fourteen, I
Speaker 1: would have just absolutely run rough shot of the league.
Speaker 1: I think I would have been at fifteen. You know
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Yeah, which is kind of interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sociological reasons, mostly the ridiculous cunard
Speaker 3: that it's that it's an important league and as popular
Speaker 3: or whatever. It's just the whole thing is silly. Then,
Speaker 3: you know, at some point we could talk about the
Speaker 3: bizarre thinking of that WNBA coach whose name I don't recall.
Speaker 2: I got it around here somewhere, that was whearing the
Speaker 2: trans kids matter.
Speaker 3: We want to be inclusive that lady, you know, but
Speaker 3: she's come out strong that she fears men taking coaching jobs,
Speaker 3: all right, because we need to protect women's coaching jobs.
Speaker 2: You don't know what a woman is, and you just.
Speaker 3: Okay, just anybody could just willingly change their sex willy nilly.
Speaker 3: But it's very important to coaching jobs be people with
Speaker 3: the UTERI okay, what every crazy person.
Speaker 1: So we're all just waiting for that transplayer in Europe
Speaker 1: to decide to come to the the NBA and then
Speaker 1: it'll be up. Yes, this broke yesterday. I don't I
Speaker 1: didn't look into it much. Maybe you did. Meta ordered
Speaker 1: to pay almost a billion dollars to address harm to
Speaker 1: kids from social media, significantly increasing the cost of that
Speaker 1: landmark verdict that came out a while back. It's almost
Speaker 1: a billion dollars nine and forty two million. That's a
Speaker 1: pretty stiff penalty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd love for more people to be talking about this,
Speaker 3: just because I'd love for more people to be talking
Speaker 3: about the hazards of online life for kids. But it's
Speaker 3: ad judge in New Mexico. I think where this goes
Speaker 3: next in the legal process, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, it'll be challenged you say, in oh, yeah for
Speaker 1: years years.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It has to be getting their attention in other companies though,
Speaker 1: worried that they're going to be held liable for this stuff,
Speaker 1: and I don't know where you go from there. As
Speaker 1: as I've said many times, as much as I hate
Speaker 1: social media and the Internet in general, I wish the
Speaker 1: Internet didn't exist, and social media and Zuckerberg is probably
Speaker 1: evil and all that sort of stuff. The idea that
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to have endless scrolling because it's too enticing,
Speaker 1: it's just no way to operate a free market, right.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm watching an evil person who's guilty
Speaker 3: of crimes being falsely accused and convicted of the wrong stuff,
Speaker 3: and it's it's troubling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a lot of money though, that ought
Speaker 1: to get their attention.
Speaker 3: You know, what I don't know is how uh I've
Speaker 3: probably heard this, but how a civil suit ends ends like, no,
Speaker 3: you can't appeal it anymore.
Speaker 2: It's over pay up.
Speaker 3: You get to a certain level of the court system, obviously,
Speaker 3: but anyway, yeah, they'll appeal like crazy.
Speaker 1: It looks like Tucker Carlson's gonna run for president, or
Speaker 1: at least Douglas Murray seems to think so, writing in
Speaker 1: the Free Press today. We'll get into that a little
Speaker 1: bit later. I mean, Tucker's come out with a ten
Speaker 1: point plan to fix America. That sounds pretty running for president,
Speaker 1: d doesn't it sort of thing you do about this
Speaker 1: time in a cycle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's really coming out as a jew too.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's really establishing his credentials as that he had.
Speaker 3: That Darryl Cooper joker back on again and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's something.
Speaker 1: Do you think Tucker Carlson could get the nomination of
Speaker 1: one of the of a of a major party and
Speaker 1: maybe even get elected president? I do in our current climate,
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's worth paying attention to. Yeah, in the
Speaker 1: right circumstances. Sure, I mean we're living is funny. My
Speaker 1: takeaway from clips of the week was the world has
Speaker 1: gone nuts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, my takeaway from watching Hassan Piker last night, I'm
Speaker 1: so out of touch with a giant chunk of the
Speaker 1: country and the way they communicate. How do you what
Speaker 1: to do about that?
Speaker 3: That's why you need to retire and move to the
Speaker 3: woods or from our friends at Blue Collar Dollar speaking
Speaker 3: of you know, getting to retirement and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3: You want to talk to folks who talk to you,

Speaker 2: So I got to tell you about you know, we
Speaker 2: can do it right now.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I'm looking at the clock
Speaker 3: I mentioned during the introduction of the show that what's
Speaker 3: her face? Jessica Francesca Hong makes aoc look like Margaret Thatcher.
Speaker 2: She is really something else.
Speaker 3: That's the socialist halfwit who's running for governor of Wisconsin.
Speaker 3: Just a quick note on her before we get to
Speaker 3: the audio. At the beginning of this year, she was
Speaker 3: one of only six legislators in the entire Wisconsin Assembly
Speaker 3: to vote against AB six seven seventy bipartisan bill. It
Speaker 3: was practically unanimous that made grooming a child for sexual
Speaker 3: activity a felony. The measure defined grooming is a pattern
Speaker 3: of conduct ongoing intended to condition, seduce, solicit, lua entice
Speaker 3: child for sexual purposes. The vote was ninety three to
Speaker 3: six before it was signed in the law, she voted
Speaker 3: against it. And part of the reason, and it's worth
Speaker 3: knowing this is the next frontier in anything goes sexually
Speaker 3: is maps I don't know, head of fhiles minor attracted persons.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, right, So part of the whole socialist critic
Speaker 3: theory LGBTQ plus minus three for to memorize and all
Speaker 3: that is. The next is child sex with children? Where
Speaker 3: does that fit in with affordability? Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I don't want to get hung up on
Speaker 3: that because it is so sick and serious. Also, we
Speaker 3: mentioned late in the show yesterday that she had posted
Speaker 3: these words abolish the Senate in a text that is
Speaker 3: still up.
Speaker 2: That's the entire text.
Speaker 3: She was commenting on somebody else's criticizing the Senate as
Speaker 3: being un democratic.
Speaker 2: She said, abolished the Senate.
Speaker 3: Well, her opponent in the gubernatorial race pointed out to
Speaker 3: fact checkers because she is denying that she ever said that.
Speaker 2: Her campaign says she has never said that.
Speaker 3: Well, the opponent pointed out, well, yes, she said that directly,
Speaker 3: and the so called fact checker for one of the
Speaker 3: big news outlets said, as always, thanks for the suggestion,
Speaker 3: but I think we're going to pass on this one
Speaker 3: since it's one tweet and this doesn't seem to be
Speaker 3: your position.
Speaker 2: So just absolutely bizarre. Thank you media for doing what
Speaker 2: you do well.
Speaker 3: But the Thanksgiving thing, which is silly, Michael, I'm talking
Speaker 3: clip forty two here. Remember she also posted abolished Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: It took COVID to end something that should have ended
Speaker 3: in sixteen twelve or whatever. She said, Okay, abolished Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: about three days ago. She said the first thing you're
Speaker 3: about to hear, and then she switched to the next
Speaker 3: thing you're about to hear.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many
Speaker 1: people in our communities.
Speaker 5: My favorite holiday is.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving because I have it.
Speaker 2: Yep, I don't want to cancel it.
Speaker 1: I actually love it. When did she okay? Was that
Speaker 1: an attempt to clean up that mess?
Speaker 3: Or apparently she's on some sort of podcast or something.
Speaker 3: They asked her, what's your favorite holiday? My favorite?
Speaker 2: Howiday?
Speaker 1: Is this? Sound like we're giving you sound like Luyane?
Speaker 1: Uncle Hank? What a half wit? So now she's claiming
Speaker 1: it's her favorite holiday. That's who I'm gonna hear whenever
Speaker 1: she talks now major babies, Uncle Hank. She's Lunne from
Speaker 1: King of the Hill, That's who she is. Yes, Oh wow,
Speaker 1: oh boy. You talk about a hot issue. Thanksgiving. People's
Speaker 1: hatred of Thanksgiving. They hate it so much. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got to get the mail back. Gavin Newsom's going to
Speaker 1: Michigan this weekend. My whole will major candidates stand on
Speaker 1: a stage with Alsie head Well. I got answered pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Gary Newsom's going Okay, so stick around. I want to
Speaker 1: talk a little more later about how we're gonna be
Speaker 1: on YouTube soon.
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: And everything that's going into that, putting in all the
Speaker 1: cameras and the lights and trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: we're gonna dress and all is a is a I think,
Speaker 1: a fun behind the scenes glimpse. Old guy's about to
Speaker 1: go on television, go back on television. That's true.
Speaker 6: We were on TV for like ten years. Yeah, we
Speaker 6: were a lot younger. Uh yeah, that's a good point too.
Speaker 6: I lost my freedom well being quote of the day.
Speaker 6: Where the hell did I put it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 3: I think I know where it is? Sorry, speaking of
Speaker 3: old guys, where is it? I think the housekeeper stole
Speaker 3: it from me?
Speaker 1: She steals.
Speaker 3: No, you know what it's it's it's gone. I don't
Speaker 3: I can't find it. Oh well i'll find it for
Speaker 3: you next hour.
Speaker 2: Mail bag. See this is really really annoying to me.
Speaker 3: I was super excited about it because it's a really
Speaker 3: good from good one from C. S.
Speaker 2: Lewis.
Speaker 3: I don't want to bore everybody while I sit here
Speaker 3: looking for it. It's got too much stuff, too much.
Speaker 1: Stuff, fascinating dude cs Lewis's conversion from hardcore intellectual Oxford
Speaker 1: atheists to very religious one of the most influential religious
Speaker 1: writers of all time really something Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, it was so good.
Speaker 3: Well you'll just have to take my word for it, obviously,
Speaker 3: Uh drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong andighetty
Speaker 3: dot com got this note from Mark jack Is my
Speaker 3: spirit animal.
Speaker 2: Heard him talking about eating funky expired ham. I too
Speaker 2: do this kind of thing. I call it eating like
Speaker 2: a coyote.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you need to call it anything, Mark, but
Speaker 3: sometimes you're really hungry and it doesn't smell that bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I suffer the funk every few months. I suppose it
Speaker 3: keeps the immune system rock hard.
Speaker 1: I put some probably spoiled cream in my coffee just now,
Speaker 1: But I did throw out pot roast yesterday. I wanted
Speaker 1: to put it in the crockpot, and I thought, when
Speaker 1: did I buy this? This smells horrible. I actually threw
Speaker 1: it out and went back to the store. So if
Speaker 1: it had just been me, I might eating it. But
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make my kids eat rancid meat. I'm
Speaker 1: patting myself on the back here. Wow, that's that's so good.
Speaker 1: That's just good.
Speaker 2: And I got a tear running down my cheek. Oh hey,
Speaker 2: I found my C. S. Lewis quote.
Speaker 3: It has to do with why quote unquote, dumb blue
Speaker 3: collar people usually do not fall for the same terrible
Speaker 3: ideas that the educated elite class so often does.
Speaker 2: Like socialism.
Speaker 3: The whole socialist thing in America right now is practically
Speaker 3: entirely college educated white youngsters. Anyway, in his brilliant book
Speaker 3: That Hideous Strength, which was essentially about the rise of
Speaker 3: the nazis.
Speaker 2: Why you fool.
Speaker 3: It's the educated readers who can be gulled. All our
Speaker 3: difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a
Speaker 3: working man who believes the newspapers. He takes it for
Speaker 3: granted that they're all propaganda and skips the lead articles. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he buys his paper for the football results and the
Speaker 3: little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses
Speaker 3: found in Mayfair flats.
Speaker 2: He is problem. We have to recondition him.
Speaker 3: But the educated public, the people who read the highbrow weeklies,
Speaker 3: don't need reconditioning.
Speaker 2: They're all right, they're all right already. They'll believe anything.
Speaker 1: Plus, there's just with that crowd It's just so exciting
Speaker 1: to discover some new thing that the dumb people don't know.
Speaker 1: So now that elevates me.
Speaker 3: Right, Lord it over them. Look at what an intellectual
Speaker 3: I am. Or thankful thanks to Josh who also threw
Speaker 3: this in. Or if you prefer. Romans won from the
Speaker 3: Bible claiming to be wise, they became fools. Human nature
Speaker 3: does not change all Right, back to mailbag. I'm bobbing
Speaker 3: and we've been doing the weave. Howdy gentz, you're speaking
Speaker 3: to the lunacy of men competing in women's sports. The
Speaker 3: sprint records, et cetera. The twenty four year old, twenty
Speaker 3: something year old world record for women's hundred yard dash
Speaker 3: is beaten by one thousand high school boys every year.
Speaker 3: Just for instance, he said, I thought I should throw
Speaker 3: out numbers from the world from my world to highlight
Speaker 3: the insanity. I think this is voice texted, and gosh,
Speaker 3: it's riddled with type posts.
Speaker 2: I'm into all.
Speaker 3: Strength sports, such as powerlifting, strong man and Olympic weightlifting
Speaker 3: directly from the International Powerlifting Federation. One of the most
Speaker 3: respective powerlifting bodies. The world record in the open weight
Speaker 3: class for bench press no weight, no body weight limit
Speaker 3: for women is three hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1: Eight pounds three sixty eight bench for a chick.
Speaker 3: Wow, he says, this incredibly impressive lift performed by a
Speaker 3: gal who weighed about three hundred and six pounds.
Speaker 2: She was a very big gal.
Speaker 3: Now over in the men's division, going to the lightest
Speaker 3: weight class, we have a fellow weighing in at one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty nine pounds benching three seventy seven. So
Speaker 3: to to recap in a world where the only goals
Speaker 3: to find the absolute strongest examples of your section, your
Speaker 3: weight class, the man who weighs just over one third
Speaker 3: of the woman's weight bench nine pounds more than she did.
Speaker 3: It's just common sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've known lots of dudes that could bench three fifteen,
Speaker 1: which is a common number for because of the plates
Speaker 1: the way they line up, but lots of regular guys.
Speaker 1: Not me.
Speaker 3: Ever, Yeah, I could bench three point fifteen if it
Speaker 3: was in thirty pound increments, say ten or twelve times.
Speaker 3: I could babble this out at at high speed, but
Speaker 3: there's no time. We'll get to it later. Another good
Speaker 3: one about Mamdanni's grocery stores. What a debacle of an idea.
Speaker 1: That is, Oh, they're going to put limits on air
Speaker 1: conditioning for rentals in the LA area, which is an
Speaker 1: interesting story. And then the I think obvious how that's
Speaker 1: going to turn out. We can talk about that Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty
