Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jetty, and Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: There's so much insanity, and not just in politics. Chipotle
Speaker 2: announced this week they're planning to open a restaurant in Mexico.
Speaker 2: Don't they already have diarrhea in Mexico? Why are they
Speaker 2: doing that? This, to me is just breaks a sacred
Speaker 2: rule when it comes to food. You don't try to
Speaker 2: sell people their own stuff. There are no olive gardens
Speaker 2: in Italy, there's no Panda Express in China, there are
Speaker 2: no outback steakhouses in the outback, there's no red lobster
Speaker 2: in the ocean. And therefore you can't open a Chipotle
Speaker 2: in Mexico.
Speaker 3: The idea of Chipotle Mexico is really interesting. I'll bet
Speaker 3: it's in a tourist town where really lame tourists are
Speaker 3: going to Mexico on vacation and ed a Chipotle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is really sad. I'd say, please, don't do
Speaker 4: like the folks who go to a foreign land and
Speaker 4: eat at the McDonald's.
Speaker 1: You know, teach your own. But I imagine that there's
Speaker 1: some interesting aspects to that.
Speaker 3: I've done it, just they have different stuff, right, you know,
Speaker 3: Royale with cheese.
Speaker 4: Right, that's a good point. So a number of headlines
Speaker 4: worth at least touching on. We've got some big topics
Speaker 4: to get to, including Jack's review of the now famous.
Speaker 1: Book Pride Puppy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she is at the center of the Maryland
Speaker 4: School opting out of perverse indoctrination case.
Speaker 1: And some marriage therapists did a survey of like.
Speaker 3: Many, many, many, many, but many couples who didn't make
Speaker 3: it and what things most cause uh, marriage just to
Speaker 3: fall apart completely. And it's actually good. Most of this
Speaker 3: stuff is stupid and useless. This is pretty good. Actually,
Speaker 3: fan in with something Joe has said many times.
Speaker 4: Okay, and one final thing, why is Trump going after
Speaker 4: the accreditation agencies that accredit colleges in your universities as
Speaker 4: part of the war against DEI? We will explain it's
Speaker 4: actually a really good strategy, which we've been talking about
Speaker 4: for a while here on the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4: A couple of news headlines worth touching on. A new
Speaker 4: poll is out.
Speaker 1: It's the CAP's Harris.
Speaker 4: Pole and folks are really really not liking the tariff thing. Though,
Speaker 4: the public is largely behind Trump, with about forty percent
Speaker 4: of voters saying the country is on the right track,
Speaker 4: which is an increase of eleven points since January. Trump's
Speaker 4: personal job approval has so far peaked at fifty two
Speaker 4: percent in February is still at forty eight percent, a
Speaker 4: healthy figure in a polarized country. This does differ from
Speaker 4: the Gallup poll, which came out fairly recently, but it's
Speaker 4: in the same range.
Speaker 3: That's that's wild. I mean that he is. He's hanging
Speaker 3: in there with pretty high approval ratings. In the modern sense.
Speaker 3: There aren't going to be any presidents with sixty percent
Speaker 3: approvals again, I don't think, not for.
Speaker 4: A while, not barring some huge happening, you know, a
Speaker 4: war or an attack or something like that. But his
Speaker 4: numbers have plenty of room to grow. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: His greatest political danger is his trade policy. Voters like
Speaker 4: mister Trump's immigration policy. Seventy four percent say they favored
Speaker 4: deporting illegal aliens who have committed crimes, and you twenty
Speaker 4: six percent, why don't you sneak into another country do crimes?
Speaker 1: And then say what you're deporting me out of your minds.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: There was never significant support for the Biden administration's policy
Speaker 4: of open borders, which let ten million people enter the
Speaker 4: country illegally, wildly unpopular, in spite of what you'd gather
Speaker 4: in the media.
Speaker 1: One of the.
Speaker 3: Most huge, unpopular things any administration's ever done in the
Speaker 3: history of America, and historians will have to study it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say it was a miserable failure of democracy.
Speaker 4: I suppose you could point out that, well, they got
Speaker 4: voted out of office, the Democrats, But in the meantime,
Speaker 4: an enormous amount of damage had been done. An enormous
Speaker 4: number of criminals and rapists and murders and gang bangers
Speaker 4: have been let into the country. And then untangling that
Speaker 4: not is going to take many dollars, many years, and
Speaker 4: many victims.
Speaker 1: And I'll say this every time because it's extraordinary.
Speaker 3: It's the largest peacetime migration of humans and the Earth's history.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe Biden was not only senile, he was evil,
Speaker 4: as was Alijndro mayorchis what an evil man? Anyway, Let
Speaker 4: me plunge on with a pole. Huge majorities also support
Speaker 4: slimming down the government seventy seven percent support quote a
Speaker 4: full examination of all government expenditures.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, that's weird.
Speaker 4: I keep hearing from David freaking Mure that Doge is
Speaker 4: evil and nice people are being laid off and it's terrible.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants this.
Speaker 4: No huge majority support it eighty one percent. Eighty one
Speaker 4: percent think the US should move in the next few
Speaker 4: years to balance the budget, which has not been achieved
Speaker 4: since that shining conservative Bill Clinton was in.
Speaker 1: The White House. You know, the.
Speaker 4: Devil in the details is when you talk about what
Speaker 4: to cut, and everybody's going to take a bit of
Speaker 4: a haircut to get to a balanced budget.
Speaker 1: And that's where it gets a little more complicated.
Speaker 3: It's it's good news that we want to I mean,
Speaker 3: it would be bad if most people think, nah, this
Speaker 3: is perfectly fine. So it's you know, it's a step
Speaker 3: in the right direction. But it is like you know,
Speaker 3: many of us, we're overweight. We're nowhere overweight. You would
Speaker 3: absolutely tell Gallop, yes, I want to lose weight, but
Speaker 3: not change any of your eating habits.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, in the meaning right, that's a good metaphor.
Speaker 4: There are deep passions on both sides. They right but
Speaker 4: a majority of Americans reject woke ideology. Sixty five percent
Speaker 4: of voters favor the policy of banning males from women's
Speaker 4: in girls' sports two thirds of people and again the
Speaker 4: supporting number is less than a third. I'll dig into it,
Speaker 4: but that you got a lot of people who don't
Speaker 4: have an opinion, and you know, please don't vote.
Speaker 1: Not have an opinion on this, you bullron. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I agree completely.
Speaker 4: Well, they've been cowed into silence by their neighbors. They're
Speaker 4: just seople, they're we killed. I think it's more cowards
Speaker 4: than idiots. You think women with penises should compete in
Speaker 4: men's sports? No, whoa whoa whoa whoa?
Speaker 1: What that that when phrase you threw at me? Women
Speaker 1: with penises? Wow? I don't know.
Speaker 4: Sixty percent support quote eliminating all preference by race and
Speaker 4: hiring an awarding of government contracts.
Speaker 1: Folks, we have enormous majorities.
Speaker 4: We don't have the media, we don't have Hollywood, we
Speaker 4: don't have education, and that is our challenge. But we're
Speaker 4: working on it, and I'm sure you are too.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Bobby.
Speaker 4: Kennedy Junior has a forty four percent personal favorability rating
Speaker 4: second only to Trump. Wow, among the fourteen political figures
Speaker 4: included in the poll.
Speaker 1: Wow, maybe we should all get a brain worm.
Speaker 4: I uh, that's that's a terrible thing to say. Oh,
Speaker 4: I want to get into something you said recently that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: And I think Bobby Kennedy just a full disclosure. I
Speaker 4: think he's half a crank. I think he's right about
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff. I think he's completely full of
Speaker 4: beans about a lot of stuff. And by the way,
Speaker 4: eat more beans is good for you, make America healthy
Speaker 4: again and flagelent.
Speaker 1: But it's good for it.
Speaker 4: You got to ease into it. That's the key with beans.
Speaker 4: Ease into it anyway, that's the key with beans. Joe says, yes, well,
Speaker 4: I right about that. Beans are of fabulous nutritional value.
Speaker 4: But you've got to get your gut used to them.
Speaker 4: Otherwise you'll be like the Hindenburg. And there's no reason
Speaker 4: to you that's right, there's no reason to get.
Speaker 1: Wish wish childish about this.
Speaker 3: We should have a phrase that pays, like old timey
Speaker 3: radio contests. If you hear this phrase, call in, you
Speaker 3: get dollars. And the phrase today is I don't what
Speaker 3: that's the key with beginning.
Speaker 4: He's into beans, right, all right, here's the rubs. Here's
Speaker 4: the rub, the tariffs, which generally confuse people. According to
Speaker 4: this ride Up, eighty four percent of the poll's respondents
Speaker 4: say they favor free trade. Our trade is not exactly free,
Speaker 4: but they don't want less free trade. Sixty six agree
Speaker 4: that quote tariffs are important to protect jobs in our
Speaker 4: country today, So obviously there's some tension there. Again, eighty
Speaker 4: four percent say yay free trade, sixty six percent say
Speaker 4: tariffs are important to protect jobs in our country today.
Speaker 4: One way of reconciling the tension between these positions would
Speaker 4: be to use US tariff's as an incentive for other
Speaker 4: countries to reduce theirs. Obviously and quite correct. So here's
Speaker 4: where mister Trump in public opinion diverge. He gets only
Speaker 4: forty five percent approval on his tariff plans and forty
Speaker 4: one percent on his effort to curb inflation.
Speaker 1: He needs higher numbers. That's higher than I thought.
Speaker 4: That's pretty hot. Forty five for tariff. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: it's really well. I'm statistics. They're difficult to get to
Speaker 4: the bottom of sometimes, but I'm surprised by this number.
Speaker 4: What percentage of the goods we use in this country
Speaker 4: are imported.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal wants to.
Speaker 4: Know, asking people are for real, for real eleven percent,
Speaker 4: about three trillion dollars a year and a twenty eight
Speaker 4: hundred twenty eight trillion dollar economy.
Speaker 1: Boy, I'd have missed that. Yeah, I'd have missed it
Speaker 1: completely too. I would like to know. Oh, I might
Speaker 1: have said eighty five or something.
Speaker 4: Well, you get into the complexity of Okay, you've got
Speaker 4: a car assembled in America. It's got twelve hundred and
Speaker 4: forty parts. Each one of those parts has a different
Speaker 4: ratio foreign to domestic manufacturer and assembly.
Speaker 1: So is that car.
Speaker 3: You know, domestic are not all right? But yeah, but
Speaker 3: you buy one car every three to five years. Everything
Speaker 3: on the Walmart shelf is from China.
Speaker 1: So you know.
Speaker 4: I'd intended on touching on a number of other headlines
Speaker 4: in the segment, but got stuck on the poll, which
Speaker 4: is fine.
Speaker 1: It was pretty interesting.
Speaker 4: I will just throw in one more note that we'll
Speaker 4: take a break because Jack's got some good stuff for us.
Speaker 4: But a new study out of a couple of universities
Speaker 4: have joined up several French universities and research institutions, and
Speaker 4: they think that a combination of the food additives in
Speaker 4: our diets, the modern hyper refined diet, might raise the
Speaker 4: risk of diabetes.
Speaker 1: They add to the risk of each other.
Speaker 4: They snowball in other words, And we don't have time
Speaker 4: to get into this now. But you know, if you
Speaker 4: were a scientist studying whatever elephants, and all of a
Speaker 4: sudden elephants were getting much much fatter and dying younger
Speaker 4: and having more cancer at all. And somebody said, well,
Speaker 4: they're eating a diet unlike they've ever eaten in the
Speaker 4: history of elephants, and you said, no, that's not it.
Speaker 4: Let's keep looking. I mean, you'd be an idiot, right right,
Speaker 4: No kidding, all right, more to come on that topic.
Speaker 3: I'm sure how to keep your marriage together are man
Speaker 3: signs to look out for that are going to doom
Speaker 3: your marriage. And remember the big takeaway from this segment,
Speaker 3: ease into your new all bean diet.
Speaker 1: According to you, indeed hard primary, stay tuned. You've said
Speaker 1: this many times.
Speaker 3: After your years of trying a number of different kinds
Speaker 3: of therapy for me and my family, kids, marriage, all
Speaker 3: kinds of different stuff. I think it's mostly worthless. I
Speaker 3: really do, I really do. I think it's mostly a
Speaker 3: waste of money, unfortunately, but this was pretty good from
Speaker 3: a marriage psychologist who reveals the number one sign of
Speaker 3: a future separation. And this stuff is almost always crap,
Speaker 3: especially if it's in the New York Post, which is
Speaker 3: where I got this.
Speaker 1: But I thought this was really good.
Speaker 3: If you want to know if your marriage is heading
Speaker 3: to splitsville, don't check your partner's phone, check their face.
Speaker 1: Like any of that.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's so many stupid things out there, you know,
Speaker 3: the one sign that he's gonna cheat or whatever the
Speaker 3: hell I mean, they're just all dumb but click bait.
Speaker 3: The one sided mouth rays the subtle smirk of superiority
Speaker 3: is the number one red flag for divorce, according to
Speaker 3: this psychologist.
Speaker 1: And they get into why.
Speaker 3: Research blah blah blah blah found that four nasty little habits, criticism, contempt, defensiveness,
Speaker 3: and stonewalling are the four horsemen of the apocalypse when
Speaker 3: it comes to dooming relationships.
Speaker 1: I'll read those four again.
Speaker 3: Criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. But contempt is the kiss
Speaker 3: of death. That's the one. And you've said that for years.
Speaker 3: That's the one you can't get past done, the largest
Speaker 3: marriage experiment ever done. They think of couples that you know,
Speaker 3: survive and don't survive body language experts, which we've mocked
Speaker 3: for years and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Because they're usually stupid.
Speaker 6: Also well on cable TV they are, Yeah, brought couples
Speaker 6: into a lab and if one member of the couple
Speaker 6: shows a one sided mouth raise, which I had never
Speaker 6: heard before as like a physical contempt thing.
Speaker 1: But I guess we're just programmed. When we're feeling that
Speaker 1: feeling of contempt.
Speaker 3: For something or you know, the old pleaser get out
Speaker 3: of here with that BS or whatever feeling, you raise.
Speaker 1: One side of your mouth.
Speaker 3: It's funny if one member of the couple shows a
Speaker 3: one sided mouth raise towards the other, he can tell
Speaker 3: you if they're going to get divorced, because it's contempt.
Speaker 3: He could predict divorce with an astonishing ninety four percent
Speaker 3: accurate Fear. Now this is part I think. I thought
Speaker 3: that was really interesting. Fear comes in a burst, and
Speaker 3: then you calm down. Happiness comes and then you go
Speaker 3: back to normal. Anger comes and then you calm down,
Speaker 3: but not contempt. If you feel scorn or disdain for
Speaker 3: someone else, and if it's not addressed, it just festers
Speaker 3: and grows and stays at the same level. All that
Speaker 3: is true, doesn't it fear anger and then obviously happiness
Speaker 3: you get back to a normal level. Contempt, it does
Speaker 3: not go away, you know.
Speaker 4: In a definition of contempt, the feeling that a person
Speaker 4: or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless or deserving scorn.
Speaker 1: Ye, he's coming back from that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why at the end of a marriage you
Speaker 3: often have two people who can't even look at each other.
Speaker 3: You only need what contempt on one end obviously for
Speaker 3: the whole thing to work. I I've not felt contempt,
Speaker 3: but I have been on the wrong end of contempt,
Speaker 3: I think. And having read this, I thought, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what was insurmountable. I mean, because once you have contempt
Speaker 3: for someone you don't agree, you don't think they are
Speaker 3: worth listening to on anything.
Speaker 4: Right, this is how I feel. This is my priority.
Speaker 4: I don't care right. Yeah, that's a tough one to
Speaker 4: get past. So look out for contempt and whatever started
Speaker 4: to bring it on. The point is you start to
Speaker 4: deal with it right away, otherwise it does just grow
Speaker 4: and fester. And then it gets into a situation where
Speaker 4: it might might not be reversible. They also believe that
Speaker 4: many couples get stuck in an endless loop of the
Speaker 4: same three arguments throughout the relationship.
Speaker 1: They just don't realize it. And if you can nail down.
Speaker 3: What your three most common arguments are you and your partner,
Speaker 3: you can solve a lot of problems. Like you get
Speaker 3: into something, you say, okay, here we're in argument number
Speaker 3: two again. We always argue about this, and you can
Speaker 3: you know, realize that you know, you don't see eye
Speaker 3: to eye on this particular thing and how you've dealt
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 1: In the past, which is a pretty good kid.
Speaker 4: Actually distracted by the details or the trivia, you realize, oh,
Speaker 4: this is argument B.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and that interesting back to the contempt thing.
Speaker 3: Disgust and contempt are to a relationship with gasoline, and
Speaker 3: matches are to a fire. The telltale signs are eye rolling,
Speaker 3: somebody's rolling their eyes at you. That's not good, eye rolling,
Speaker 3: mouth crimping, and then subtle fidgeting like picking it closed
Speaker 3: or cleaning fingers mid conversation as signals of disdain. This
Speaker 3: person said that they dubbed this move the lint picker,
Speaker 3: a behavior that he says, screams contempt.
Speaker 1: Louder than words ever could.
Speaker 3: If somebody is, you know, explaining something very important and
Speaker 3: you're like picking lint off your shirt or.
Speaker 4: Something, oh my god, interesting, you know, it's probably worth
Speaker 4: presenting the other side of the coin at some point.
Speaker 4: We don't have time now, but how do you prevent
Speaker 4: that sort of thing if it in the bud having
Speaker 4: lint on your shirt, No contempt in your marriage, no heart,
Speaker 4: Strong and geddy. Rosie o'donald told CNN it's heartbreaking to
Speaker 4: watch Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Destroy the country from her new home of Ireland.
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, Ireland told CNN it's heartbreaking that there's not enough
Speaker 6: guinness to make Rosie o'donnald look pretty.
Speaker 4: No, no, Michael, I don't approve of that joke. That's
Speaker 4: just she's not an attractive woman. Yeah, it's a matter
Speaker 4: of genetics, and I just know. No, she's cruel cruel
Speaker 4: See you.
Speaker 3: Don't find old women hot unless she's totally irrelevant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, that is just cruelty for cruelty's sake. I
Speaker 1: don't approve. We need a woman to stand it, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Katie as the woman on the program, Michael, I approve
Speaker 1: of that joke. No, no, no, you're overruled.
Speaker 4: That helps, does it? You know it just occurred to
Speaker 4: me Jack on air meeting. We've got that Martha McCallum
Speaker 4: talking to the evil Randy Winegarten audio about the nature
Speaker 4: of education. Maybe we go big on that hour four
Speaker 4: of the hour four. My goodness, you fellas work hard,
Speaker 4: Yes we do. If you don't get our four, you
Speaker 4: can subscribe to our podcast Armstrong you get on demand.
Speaker 1: It's available later on the day. If I had to
Speaker 1: describe us in two words, it would be put upon yes,
Speaker 1: oh please please. They forced us to sign the contract. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you've heard that Donald J.
Speaker 4: Recently issued an executive order yesterday as a matter of fact,
Speaker 4: to shake up the world of college accreditation, which Trump
Speaker 4: called his secret weapon in a bid to remake higher
Speaker 4: education and somehow drag our colleges in universities away from
Speaker 4: the neo Marxist woke thing, which we have identified as
Speaker 4: maybe the biggest challenge this country has churning out generation
Speaker 4: after generation of kids who are trained to hate their
Speaker 4: own country and hate the very foundations of Western civilization.
Speaker 4: It is a bizarre experiment in suicide, you know, cultural suicide,
Speaker 4: and it needs to end like the day before yesterday.
Speaker 4: But it's going to be a hell of a fight anyway.
Speaker 4: The order aims to use the accrediting system to combat
Speaker 4: with Trump used as a discriminator, as discriminatory practices and
Speaker 4: ideological overreach on college campuses, The White House said, And
Speaker 4: it's interesting that this piece in the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: Which is written by a couple of gals.
Speaker 4: I believe they're both gals, you know, has this sort
Speaker 4: of cliched phrase that you're used to some or Trump
Speaker 4: and other Republicans have long criticized the accreditation problem, says,
Speaker 4: calling it a cartel that stifles competition and doesn't help
Speaker 4: police colleges and universities with poor student outcomes. And indeed,
Speaker 4: some conservatives claim it reinforces the woke ideology. I'm paraphrasing
Speaker 4: what they say in the article, and I'm reading this
Speaker 4: and thinking, you're a reporter, why don't you look into
Speaker 4: whether those claims are true or not. Joe Getty claimed
Speaker 4: that his business partner Jack Armstrong, is a murderer in
Speaker 4: other news. Wait a minute, this is the pivotal question
Speaker 4: before us and your journalists allegedly.
Speaker 1: Well, I says to myself, I says, wait a minute.
Speaker 4: Didn't the journal itself have a really interesting piece not
Speaker 4: long ago about these accreditation agencies and how they operate.
Speaker 4: And it took jack God, Oh was it three weeks
Speaker 4: or no, it was about two and a half minutes
Speaker 4: to find a great piece by Henry Stone. How colleges
Speaker 4: and universities get around eight DEI bands. They hide behind
Speaker 4: vague demands from accreditors, and Congress should deprive them of
Speaker 4: this excuse.
Speaker 1: You know, a brief tangent here. Yeah, Congress has got
Speaker 1: to pass laws. Executive orders are good. Laws are great.
Speaker 4: Anyway, this gentleman is writing about how incredibly woke these
Speaker 4: accreditation agencies are, and they are. Here's here's an example,
Speaker 4: des Moines, Iowa. Someone's lying, he writes, that's what I
Speaker 4: discovered after trying to free my state's higher education system
Speaker 4: from DEI. Instead of complying with a DEI band we
Speaker 4: passed into law earlier this year, the University of Iowa,
Speaker 4: the College of Medicine, says it's forced to maintain these
Speaker 4: programs or it will lose its accreditation, essentially killing the institution.
Speaker 4: Yet a creditor say that's not the case, even as
Speaker 4: they give quiet cover to universities. If federal reforms don't
Speaker 4: stop these shenanigans, virtually every part of higher education may
Speaker 4: soon wriggle.
Speaker 1: Free of state DEI bands.
Speaker 4: So the states are trying to do the right thing
Speaker 4: because they understand that this is perverse, neomarxist, it's racist,
Speaker 4: it's anti Title nine, it's all sorts of evil. But
Speaker 4: the accreditation agencies are saying, let me find this specific here, okay.
Speaker 4: So they had legislation in Iowa that banned public institutions,
Speaker 4: including i with three public universities, from having DEI offices, programs,
Speaker 4: and staff. And he thought that the law would soon
Speaker 4: strive DEI from the campuses in state government.
Speaker 1: He writes, I was wrong.
Speaker 4: In early November, the Iowa Board of Regents, which oversees
Speaker 4: the state's public universities, issued a report on compliance with
Speaker 4: the law. It laid out in detail how DEI initiatives
Speaker 4: hadn't been shut down statewide, But in fine print, on
Speaker 4: page seventy eight, I learned that Carver College, that's the
Speaker 4: big medical school, is keeping its Office of Health Parody open.
Speaker 4: The office proudly declares on its home page that it
Speaker 4: quote strives to achieve excellence through the advancement of diversity, equity,
Speaker 4: and inclusion. The Board of Regents says its hand was
Speaker 4: forced by accreditors. These are private institutions that decide whether
Speaker 4: universities and graduate schools can grant degrees or not.
Speaker 1: And they are woke af pardon me, as the kids
Speaker 1: say these days. Wow.
Speaker 3: So they keep open that office, and the people that
Speaker 3: made that decision might not believe in it at all,
Speaker 3: but they got to have that to keep their accreditation.
Speaker 3: And then the people that work in what was the
Speaker 3: name of that Office of Health Equity or whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, it's such an Orwellian office of health parody,
Speaker 4: Jack right, the Office.
Speaker 1: Of Health Parity.
Speaker 3: The people that work in that office toiling away probably
Speaker 3: don't know Your only here is like a token to
Speaker 3: the accreditation people.
Speaker 1: Be successful or don't. I don't care. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So the accreditors deny pushing the DEI agenda. Last week
Speaker 4: last year, rather as The Wall Street Journal reported, the
Speaker 4: alleas On Committee on Medical Education, which accredits to US
Speaker 4: medical schools, told federal lawmakers, we don't require DEI, but
Speaker 4: their charter does demand that all medical schools that get
Speaker 4: accredited engage quote in ongoing systematic and focused recruitment and
Speaker 4: retention activities to achieve mission appropriate diversity outcomes, or.
Speaker 1: We yank your accreditation and you're not educating anybody.
Speaker 3: Diverse outcome meaning you have to have a certain percentage
Speaker 3: of different people graduating.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you've got to toe the line on health equity,
Speaker 4: education programs and just all of this this garbage.
Speaker 3: And it's mostly by the way, because it always I'm
Speaker 3: always worried to sound like, you know, a white male
Speaker 3: standing up for more what it's the Asian kids that
Speaker 3: are getting screwed.
Speaker 1: In that thing the most.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, yeah, yeah. I mean there are a
Speaker 4: hundred problems with that, with this, but that's one of them.
Speaker 4: And you know, for what it's worth, I've learned, you know,
Speaker 4: thirty five times more after graduating from college than I
Speaker 4: did in college. But my educational background is political science
Speaker 4: and comparing the political systems and how they function. And
Speaker 4: I've got to admit, when I step aside from my
Speaker 4: disgust in horror at this unholy experiment in turning our
Speaker 4: kids against their own country and Western civilisation in general,
Speaker 4: I've got to admire the insidious effectiveness of these people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 4: They said to themselves, all right, what do we really
Speaker 4: need to rot this society from the inside out? You know,
Speaker 4: the media was a fairly easy play. But we need education.
Speaker 4: We've got to get the kids. We've got to indoctrinate
Speaker 4: the kids to hate their country so we can tear
Speaker 4: it down.
Speaker 3: And the conservative analogy to that would be the decades
Speaker 3: long effort to overturn Roe versus Wade and getting various
Speaker 3: judges at various levels of federal courts building up to
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. I mean, it's no very long planned
Speaker 3: out decades, Yeah, a very strategic effort to do that.
Speaker 1: The liberal end of it is this what you're just
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing to get all of these policies
Speaker 3: and place at so many different levels of our education system, right,
Speaker 3: and the cleverness to say, well, what if the colleges resist,
Speaker 3: what if they still want a diversity of opinions on
Speaker 3: their faculty, then we yank their accreditation.
Speaker 1: We need to control the accreditation agencies. How do we
Speaker 1: do that?
Speaker 4: Through DEI And I'll give you the nickel version of this,
Speaker 4: as James Lindsay put it so brilliantly critical. Race theory
Speaker 4: is calling something racist until you control it. So you
Speaker 4: go to the accreditation agency and you say, are you
Speaker 4: an anti racist? I'm against racism. No, you've got to
Speaker 4: be an anti racist first of all, read this book
Speaker 4: by Robin DiAngelo ibramex Kindy and declare that all white
Speaker 4: people are racist and white supremacists, including you. And you're like, no,
Speaker 4: I'm not a racist, and they get you fired because
Speaker 4: you're not an anti racist. A lot of you perhaps
Speaker 4: saw people run out of their careers for not towing
Speaker 4: the post George Floyd Black Lives Matter line, and they
Speaker 4: terrify people into leaving, or they run them out, or
Speaker 4: they force them to their knees like a struggle session
Speaker 4: in Mao's China, to decline, to declare that, yes, I'm evil.
Speaker 4: Yes the United States was founded on a bigotry in slavery,
Speaker 4: and yes all of Western civilization is white supremacy. Don't
Speaker 4: hurt me, let me keep my job. And then you're
Speaker 4: under their control and they take over the accreditation agencies.
Speaker 1: That's how they did it. It's evil, but it's clever.
Speaker 4: We've got to be every bit as aggressive and clever
Speaker 4: fighting back. So anyway, you see that Donald Jay's going
Speaker 4: after college accreditation agencies, why that's why.
Speaker 3: So I don't think Trump knew this stuff. No either,
Speaker 3: certainly back in twenty fifteen when he ran. I wonder
Speaker 3: who convinced him of all this?
Speaker 1: And I think JD. Vance has a terrific grasp of
Speaker 1: this stuff.
Speaker 4: I disagree with JD on a handful of things pretty vehemently,
Speaker 4: but I think he's really really good on this stuff.
Speaker 1: Hmm, that'd be interesting. I'd like to know more about that. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 3: I disagree with him one hundred percent today on his
Speaker 3: Ukraine stuff, and we got more of that later. But
Speaker 3: if he's driving the bus on this, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And like I say, this is so critical
Speaker 1: a fight.
Speaker 4: I mean, I really really believe it is that when
Speaker 4: I see them do stuff like the whips on on
Speaker 4: the tariffs and some of the trades stuff, and it's
Speaker 4: not like, all right, don't mess up the economy because
Speaker 4: if you do that, Republicans are going to get booted
Speaker 4: out of office and we're not going to get a
Speaker 4: chance to fight this fight. So proceed at least Semikar.
Speaker 4: Of course that's not exactly. You know, the Donald J.
Speaker 4: Trump boy are doing things which is fun.
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 3: Uh right, So we got we got to get into
Speaker 3: the book Pride Puppy an hour three, a variety of things.
Speaker 3: I would definitely want to get to that whole Ukraine conversation.
Speaker 3: We know no more about that Maryland man, Uh, the
Speaker 3: MS thirteen guy.
Speaker 1: The Little League coach Dad, Marylynd father.
Speaker 3: Right, we got that, and uh and j Lo and
Speaker 3: Ben Affleck are having a hard time selling their house.
Speaker 3: That's a oh sorry to hear that their house is
Speaker 3: worth mentioning. Wow, but a lot of stuff on the
Speaker 3: way to stay.
Speaker 5: Here, Armstrong Eddie, we saw a mail truck driving in
Speaker 5: the wrong direction in the same lane that we were in.
Speaker 5: He proceeded to drive in zigzags all the way down
Speaker 5: the road until she got to the stop sign, where
Speaker 5: she proceeded to kick a solo cup out of the
Speaker 5: side of the mail truck. She was literally off roading
Speaker 5: in the mail truck.
Speaker 1: We have a drunk mail truck driver.
Speaker 4: I like the kicking the solo cup out gez Yeah,
Speaker 4: And they'll never notice this.
Speaker 1: Hey, here's a mail truck worker.
Speaker 4: A female Maleman who was rolling along doing her thing
Speaker 4: thirty three years old, came across.
Speaker 1: There are a female Maleman. They're probably by them. Oh boy.
Speaker 4: Anyway, this thoroughly woman Maleman saw a house party and
Speaker 4: evidently somebody said, hey, come on in for a proper two.
Speaker 1: She thought why not, and indeed got somewhat.
Speaker 4: Well unsober and has been charged with a variety of
Speaker 4: crimes which are no joke. But I've got to admit
Speaker 4: it's somewhat amusing. The idea of hey, you know, you
Speaker 4: get your route is long and life is hard, come
Speaker 4: on in for a drink.
Speaker 1: And she says, yeah, I know. Some point old lady
Speaker 1: didn't get her TV guide. What are they going to get.
Speaker 3: Their safeway flyers fifteen minutes late? Come on in and
Speaker 3: have a drink.
Speaker 1: Good lord, exactly.
Speaker 4: Evidently she could not hold her liqueur though, and was
Speaker 4: swerving in and out of her lane, et cetera, including
Speaker 4: into the oncoming traffic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which, yeah, terrible. Oh yeah yeah. Start with the
Speaker 1: least important stupidest thing first.
Speaker 3: J Lo and ben Aflack, who got divorced again after
Speaker 3: getting married for the second time. Their divorce is being
Speaker 3: held up by they're trying to figure out how to
Speaker 3: deal with their home it hasn't been selling, and then
Speaker 3: split in the money. Sixty eight million dollar Beverly Hills
Speaker 3: home that's expensive even by you know, rich people standards.
Speaker 3: Sixty eight million dollar home, Beverly Hills, calip It is
Speaker 3: a thirty eight thousand square foot man, you just get
Speaker 3: done with dusting and you'd have to start over on
Speaker 3: the other end again, that'd be oh yeah, yeah, thirty
Speaker 3: thousand square foot home.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at this compound.
Speaker 3: It looks like it's a community college or something, but
Speaker 3: it's their home in Beverly Hills. And I just.
Speaker 1: You know, most of us will never know but that
Speaker 1: that's beyond buying a home. I don't even I don't
Speaker 1: even know what.
Speaker 3: It really is when you look at a place like that,
Speaker 3: And how do you compare one to another? If when
Speaker 3: you're looking at something.
Speaker 1: That large, and what do you play? I think you
Speaker 1: do there?
Speaker 4: A compound is a much better way to look at it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you own, Why would you restrict yourself to your home?
Speaker 4: You have like one or two guest homes of significant
Speaker 4: size that are bigger than most Americans homes. For you know,
Speaker 4: friends and relatives and partiers and the rest of it.
Speaker 4: You have a bar with the dance floor used twice
Speaker 4: a year, but who came to the theater in a
Speaker 4: basketball court right exactly, a big gym as well equipped
Speaker 4: as your local gym.
Speaker 1: And you know.
Speaker 4: The enormous dining room that you probably used again three
Speaker 4: four times a year. Otherwise you're eating in the kitchen
Speaker 4: like normal people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: And some some incredible beautiful outdoor pool with the patio.
Speaker 3: Set, and obviously you're not cleaning it yourself. I wish
Speaker 3: somebody would put out the side costs on a home
Speaker 3: like that one time. Oh you never hear those. I'd
Speaker 3: like to hear what what's your property tax? Is easy
Speaker 3: to figure out because it's roughly ten percent in California.
Speaker 3: So that's what you got to pay in property tax
Speaker 3: every single year. That's a lot. So you'd pay six
Speaker 3: point eight million dollars in property tax every year.
Speaker 4: No, no, ten percent a year. I think somebody's stealing
Speaker 4: from you. It's like and the county I lived one
Speaker 4: in a quarter. I think you may have moved a
Speaker 4: decimal point, but anyway, it's exhausted and big houses equal
Speaker 4: big bills.
Speaker 1: I learned that early on in life. Somebody told me that,
Speaker 1: and it's it's quite true.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm sure, But like I'd love to know
Speaker 3: what's their energy bill, what's it cost to clean it?
Speaker 1: How much did they spend on gardeners?
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean it would be no you if, obviously,
Speaker 3: if somebody gave you that home, even without property tax,
Speaker 3: you couldn't afford to live there.
Speaker 4: It'd be impossible unless you're gonna get tax it. It's
Speaker 4: completely out of the question. Yeah, it'd be funny just
Speaker 4: to present the idea that j Lo finally got tired
Speaker 4: of cleaning. She just she would vacuum and vacuum and
Speaker 4: vacuum and dust and dust and clean the toilets, and
Speaker 4: then you know, there's Ben sitting on table watching football,
Speaker 4: and then it was time to start cleaning again, right.
Speaker 3: Let Jenny from the block trying to get the cobwebs
Speaker 3: down in bedroom number forty.
Speaker 4: Seven, and she had it hasn't been in it in
Speaker 4: six months, and look at these cobwebs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't get to the fact that Trump speaking
Speaker 3: to homes. He's putting up flagpoles on the White House grounds.
Speaker 3: He's paying for him himself. Two one hundred foot flagpoles
Speaker 3: on each side of the White House will have big
Speaker 3: American flags, and he's paying for it. And he's a
Speaker 3: you know, he's a builder. So he had contractors out
Speaker 3: there yesterday. You could see pictures of him like pointing
Speaker 3: up in the sky and at trees.
Speaker 1: And stuff like that. Wow, Okay, I'm in favor of that.
Speaker 3: He's footing the bill because he didn't want it to
Speaker 3: become a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, huh, good for him. The book Tried Puppy in
Speaker 1: the News will tell you about it.
