We're off for taking 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:30.040 a break. 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.000 And as long as we're. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.480 Off, perhaps you'd like to catch up on podcasts, subscribe 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.279 to Armstrong and Getty on demand or one more thing 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:36.879 we think. 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.120 You'll enjoy it, sir, choices we get in l those 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.200 were your choices. 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.680 Somebody got shot? O? 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.800 How good? Hold on the dirty dead? 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:55.640 What do I want with my da do? 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:56.920 Shaddy? 0:00:58.960 --> 0:00:59.760 What the hell is this? 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.440 Everybody that is? 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.360 That is rapper too low? Who is a pairing as 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.319 a kiss? A guest on a podcast? Who the gun 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.840 went off in his pocket? Apparently somehow? 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.960 Okay? First of all, guests on a podcast. To have 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.840 a podcast, all you need to do is own a 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.959 phone or a computer. So is this a podcast with 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.520 any I mean anyway? So he's sitting around talking to 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.679 a guy and his gun goes off. What's the most 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.240 interesting to me is these people live such a lifestyle. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.400 The reaction is, Hey, who's gun went off? 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:33.920 Somebody's gone. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:38.679 Who pretty, somebody's gun went off. Whereas most of the 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.480 company I keep, if there were a gun shot in 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.280 the room, we would all be quite flabbergasted. Who shot? Who? 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.440 Oh my gosh, is that a gun in your pocket? 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.000 Or you're just happy to be on my podcast. Say 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.840 that again, Michael. Just the beginning of it. 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.800 And choices we got in life. Those were your choices. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.440 All right. Getting back to our topic, motivating ourselves for 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.079 the new year, rapper too low. If you need to 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:21.800 stick to your diet through January, that's beautiful. So there 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.880 are a couple of things I wanted to do yesterday 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.480 as kind of a kicking off the year thing. But 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.120 we have so much let's to get to it. We 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.880 can't get to all of it. But I love this. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.240 I'm gonna hit you with part of it and then 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.000 we'll move on. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.920 We got a bunch of stuff. But this is written 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.320 by a guy named Jeff Goldstein, who is a writer 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.680 I really like, and he has this redeclaration of independence, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.240 and you'll know what he's driving at immediately. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.600 Be it so understood. This is my vow for the 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.560 new year, too. I refuse to. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.200 Unpack white violence. I reject the idea that my existence 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.240 perpetuates white power structures. I will not, and in fact cannot, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.440 examine my ipplicit biases. I'm an indo. I refuse to 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.800 grant determined interpretive communities authority over my being. My meaning 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.560 is mine, is what makes me me. I'm not taking 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.000 any journey to discover the impact of my privilege on 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.040 black and brown people's I will not become anti racist 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.160 or anti fascist to satisfy your demands. I reject cultural Marxism. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.680 I am an individual. I'm not defined by my color, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.160 my lrige, and my sex. I'm jeff good to meet you. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.800 I will not respect your pronouns or celebrate your queerness. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.280 I am hostile to your sexualization of children. I reject 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.560 your triggers and your desire to control my speech. I 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.040 know who and what you are. You are my presumptive master, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.880 or else the useful idiot who empowers him. But I 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.960 will grant you and your ideology no power over me. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.000 There's more you want to hear a little more sure. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.400 I reject equity because it is collectivism disguised as virtue. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.720 I reject inclusivity because it is inorganic superficial and contrived. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.440 I reject mandated diversity. I will not surrender to the 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.120 crayon box mafia, nor do the gender changelings who pretend 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:06.920 I am construct answerable to their whims. Cultural appropriation is 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.360 merely culture. It expands to include, and it makes up 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.520 the very fabric of a pluralistic society. There's no such 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.839 thing as digital blackface. My whiteness is not violent, my 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.880 sex is not oppressive. My religion doesn't concern you, and 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.600 my children are not your stam mold. Your beliefs will 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.600 not be imposed on me. The state will not parent 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:26.440 my sons. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.400 Theory. Yes, digital blackface, I'd forgotten that term. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.560 Oh yeah, and again if you've lost a thread, This 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:39.720 is a re declaration of independence. Queer theory is critical. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.919 Race theory is critical. Consciousness is the Marxist rejection of 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:49.240 the individual as individual. I have some stats on how 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.320 many states queer theory is being taught in schools to 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.000 little children as truth and is as shocking. Well, one 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.320 more time. Queer theory is critical. Race theory is critical. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.480 Consciousness is the Marxist rejection of the individual as individual. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.600 Cultural Marxism is determined to raise norms so chaos tear 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:13.000 families asunder and reduce being to collective conformity. I reject 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.120 its premises as fully as I reject its adherents. I 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.880 will not comply. I will not mouth your slogans. I 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.400 will not denounce on command. I am not your tool, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.520 and you are not my minder. And he has a 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.320 little more about my speech is my own. I reject 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.640 each of your excuses to silence me. I don't ask 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.280 for your protections. I can filter information without your interference, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.000 Mark Zuckerberg, and I despise your presumption to protect me 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.000 from myself. I am your sworn enemy, and you are mine. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.440 I will not perform for you. I will not read 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.599 from your script or dance in your follies. Oh my brother, 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.440 we'll post this at armstrong egedi dot com. It is brilliant, 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:54.240 and he goes on. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.280 But that's the main party, and it fits in with 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.159 that Wall Street Journal article I was reading from last hour. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.040 The progressive moment in global politics is over. That moment 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:08.719 existed mostly online and with the you know, high level 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.760 university set. It was a much smaller group than we 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:17.680 all thought or feared, thank god, but it was it 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:22.599 was misleading because it was so prevalent in you know, TV, 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.880 newspapers and Twitter in places like that, but it was 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.800 not near as big as we all thought. And the 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.440 best thing that could happen to people that are on 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.440 the right side of that, and you could be a 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.480 lifelong Democrat and be to the right of all that 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.280 stuff by a law shirt like Bill Maherr and lots 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.599 of people. The best thing that could happen for us 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.960 is if they continue to believe that they have the 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.599 numbers they think they have as opposed to the tiny 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.800 fraction that actually agrees with them. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:52.640 Right. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.920 I'm reminded of something great you brought to us, I 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.800 think it was last year about how it only takes 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.000 fifteen percent of a population that's dedicated to a revolution 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.240 to make it successful. Because you want to give us 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.120 the nickel version of. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.840 That, Yeah, you have to have the fifteen percent really 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.320 really active group that wants to overthrow the current regime. 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.160 But you get a big enough chunk of people who 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.320 mostly agree with you. They're not going to really do much, 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:19.480 but they're not going to get in the way, and 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.120 then you have the crowd that's scared of you, and 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.000 you can easily. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.800 Get over fifty percent, right right, and that's how you in. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.280 And imagine if you were in that hardcore fifteen percent 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.200 that wanted to, I don't know, for the sake of 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.680 the argument overthrow Western society in the name of neo Marxism. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.680 Imagine if your first step was to capture media and education. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.400 I mean, that would be an enormous coupe because you could, 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.360 and I'm stating the obvious here, you could project the 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:49.240 idea that you have way way more mass than you 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.080 do for your radical ideas, like radical gender theory, which 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.520 I will give you a clue. It's like over a 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:00.960 third of American states are teaching radical theory. There's no 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.520 such thing as a man or a woman. You get 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.040 to choose to little kids in schools. So man, these 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.040 these scumbags, And I'm sorry for the for the you know, 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:12.680 I'm a wardsmith. I can do better than that. I 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.640 apologize these monsters. At least it's more adult. The fact 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.480 that these monsters have gotten as far as they have 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:26.400 is really really troubling. But you know, on we go 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.880 with the fight. Trudeau resigning in Canada is a lot 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.360 of what sparked. For instance, the Wall Street Journal article 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.640 one on the list of Western leaders or parties that 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:42.719 have really suffered defeats trying to ride the whole pronouns 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.320 latinex you should be ashamed of yourself for being a 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.199 white male. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.800 Bang right, Yeah, yeah, he was huge into that. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.880 And the what's really troubling about this, and we've had 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.120 a bunch of conversations, is you got to your well, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.079 just you keep calling it fifteen percent for the sake 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:58.559 of the argument. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.760 You get your hardcore fifteen percent activists. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:06.160 Well, the genius of neo Marxism developed in the intellectual 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.840 salons of Europe in the forties and fifties, nineteen forties 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.959 and nineteen fifties. They wrote books, they signed their name, 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.560 they told us precisely what they wanted to do. The 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.200 genius of it is they have crafted, and it's an 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:23.240 evil genius, these moral sounding arguments that convince a certain 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.480 sort of person that they are doing the right thing 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:28.679 morally by becoming. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:29.760 An adherent to Neo Marxism. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.040 And it's particularly effective among women who want to seek 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.560 agreement and groups and acceptance of that sort of thing. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.880 And it's particularly successful among your university crowd who want 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.400 to be on the cutting edge of thought, that's how 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.960 they gratify their egos by being the innovator, the new person, 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:53.880 the revolutionary. It's incredibly I mean, they take practically sexual 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.320 glee for being innovators in the universities, because how are 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.640 you going to justify your big if you in any 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.440 level of education say you know that stuff we've been doing, 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.840 it's perfect. I wouldn't change it at all. True, you've 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:12.440 wasted your PhD. So anyway, man, you have heard a 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.000 lot of gun shots. If your reaction to a gun 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.000 shot in a room is this. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.120 And choices we got in laye, those were your choices? 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:30.960 Whobody been calmer than that shot? 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.440 Who did somebody get shot? 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.599 Huh? What? It would be the most amazing thing that 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.720 ever happened in my life if a gun went. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.320 Off in a room. We're sitting there interviewing, I don't know. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.880 Rich Lowry from the National Review of Rich says who 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:46.440 shot who? 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.040 Who? Somebody get shot? 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.280 And choices we got in lay Those were your choices? 0:10:54.840 --> 0:11:00.560 Who? It actually pretty interesting conversation before you know, the 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:05.000 gun went on. So the other thing I wanted to 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.760 squeeze in a couple more kind of wrapping up the 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.840 year looking forward, to the year things, because I'll rant 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.560 and rave about the previous story for the rest of 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:17.080 my life. But Jan Crawford was on CBS's face the 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:17.840 Nation Sunday. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.120 I saw that, and she brought the thunder. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.240 That the most uncovered and underreported topic last year was 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.960 clearly she said, quote that to me, Joe Biden's obvious 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:34.040 cognitive decline. They became undeniable in the televised debate, unquestioned 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.400 that that's the most underreported story of the year. 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:42.920 Yeah, absolutely true. But we'll be lost to history. It's 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.000 amazing that there isn't more introspection over that. Well, here's 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.079 the really interesting part. She says, still incredibly, we read 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.160 in the Washington Post that his advisers are saying that 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.840 he regrets that he dropped out of the race, that 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.920 he thinks he could have beaten Trump, and I think 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.960 that is either delusional or the gaslighting the American people. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.760 But CBS's chief Election. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.320 And campaign correspondent Robert Costa jumped up and said, well, 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.600 President Biden has repeatedly said he was sick during the 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.440 debate in Atlanta, and he's always been fine, and he 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:13.240 leaves fine. 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:14.559 That is his position. 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.720 The position of many of his top stadents as well 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.840 as even though there is that reporting that Jan was 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:26.319 talking to reduce the obvious accepted by everyone reality of 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:31.640 Joe Biden's cogdon decline as there is that reporting, but 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.400 he has now Jan he has said repeatedly had a cold. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.960 Costa's lost to me, he's lost his mind. I don't 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.760 know who that's for. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.920 Eighty five percent of America before that debate thought he 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:44.920 shouldn't serve again. 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.800 So I don't know who you're serving with that, But 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.160 enjoy your bubble Bob, the Armstrong and. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:55.320 Getty Show, Yeah, or Jack Orgoe podcasts and our Hot Lakes, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:04.000 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, the Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:14.000 I wonder if. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.840 There's gonna be a run on those giant Schnauzer. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.280 Of course there are, of course, they're the dignified giant 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.240 Schnauzer they call it. Is there like an undignified giant 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.960 Schnauzer breed as well, like the clowney, you know, kind 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.520 of loser giant Schnauzer that where's a wife beater around 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.520 the house and woops where it once? I don't know. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.960 So this is one of my favorite moments in legislative history. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:44.160 A House Republican representative Earl Buddy Carter of Georgia, natch, 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.160 I'm gonna move to Georgia just to vote for Earl 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:53.000 Buddy Carter. He introduced a bill this week that would 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.800 enable President Trump's efforts to purchase Greenland and rename it 0:13:58.559 --> 0:13:59.920 Red White and Blueland. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:03.600 Awesome. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.440 The bill would also require the federal government to refer 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.800 to it as such on official maps and documents. Never 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:14.360 mind what the Denmarkians and Greenlanders say. Let's see as 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.280 part of the bill, America is back and will soon 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.240 be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.400 and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.840 what is now Greenland is a national security priority, and 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.200 we'll proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:26.640 ever exist. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.320 When our negotiator in chief inks this monumental deal. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:36.960 Also considered as names for the new state, Cold af Sylvania, 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:43.400 Polar Barrington, simply Ice, Ice Baby, and my favorite North 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:49.520 North North Dakota. Oh. Now, we're gonna have nice cooperation 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.520 with Greenland. The Arctic and those passageways are going to 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.000 be incredibly important in the next fifty years and it's 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:55.400 a good thing. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.280 Do you remember? I should do it again in case 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.960 anybody didn't hear it. The biggest rumor in Washington, d C. 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.640 According to Mark Alpern, and he talks to all the players. 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.680 Oh yeah, the biggest rumor in the world, persistent and omnipresent, 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.560 is the talk of a grand bargain between the United 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:17.040 States and China that involves reduced tariffs, US access to Greenland, 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:22.280 China's peaceful taking of Taiwan, all and several provisions and 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:23.400 players to be named later. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.200 It seems implausible to many years and eyes, but the 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.520 talk of this deal is everywhere, says Mark. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.800 Alper This sounds like it could be. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.400 A moral horror to me, but I'm trying to understand it. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:45.400 We won't fight you on Taiwan. We concede, sorry, Vladimer. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.360 You get the rights to the Northern Passage through the 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.400 Arctic and the rest of it as a zone of 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.960 influence and security. And let's get it on and we 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.880 call it a deal. Yeah, yeah, and a couple of 0:15:58.960 --> 0:15:59.960 players to be named later. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:00.640 Yeah. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:01.280 I got a question. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.880 So yesterday was Lincoln's birthday, Yes, sir, and Lincoln is 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.920 on the penny. The penny was the most my whole 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:15.160 life on the present piece of currency that existed. It 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:19.200 is since lost its usefulness. Yes, we all agree with that. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.480 But if Lincoln isn't the greatest president of all time, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.840 he's number two. So I mean, you know, everybody agrees 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.240 on that pretty much. Right, he's either him or Washington. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.560 They're in the top two. And do we move him 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.120 to another? Doesn't it seem I mean, we're eliminating the 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.400 most dominant currency that existed for my whole life with 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.120 him on it. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.720 So that's a lot of less Lincoln bouncing around. And 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:44.760 they're talking about putting you know, Harriet Tubman on the 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.000 twenty or whatever. I've been talking about that for a 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.720 long time. Lincoln still got there. He's got the five 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:56.800 dollar bill. Yeah, that's a fine. You know, he's the currency, 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:57.760 the finn the five. 0:16:58.320 --> 0:16:59.240 It ain't like the penny. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.400 Though everybody had a penny in their pocket my whole life, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.280 Lincoln was in their pocket, your whole life. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.960 No more. You got to move on. I just feel 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.000 like he's getting downgraded. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.040 Not only I don't know what to tell you, you know how, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.840 I'm always predicting a planet of the beavers, because human 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.359 beings are going to die off because we're not reproducing 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.400 a fascinating story. The Czech Republic was trying to build 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.080 a damn project for years and years and years, and 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.000 while they were arguing about it, beavers actually damned off 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:27.879 the river and accomplished what the government couldn't. 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.680 That's a pretty funny story. They're ready to take over. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.119 Arm Strong Heyetty. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:49.919 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Keetty Armstrong and. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:57.159 Jet Kid, he Armstrong and Getty Strong. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.840 Not live from Studio C Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.840 And We're off.

Dropis not if there's 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.040 something you ought to be talking about when we get 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.639 back to work, and while you're there, pick up some 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.200 ang swag Armstrong Egeddy dot com. So ourfka junior hearing 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:33.080 I do not have a strong position on a lot 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:38.960 of these issues, as they are so freaking complicated. And 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.040 then you add in politics and money and then try 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.399 to figure out what's true and what's not. It's really 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:49.280 really difficult, but I do know this, Practically everybody in 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.840 the country seems like they got a kid who's got 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:57.880 something wrong with him that didn't exist decades ago. How 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.560 many times have we said on this show, how is 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.520 this not biggest story in America? 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:02.920 Right? 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.399 And RFK Junior spends a lot of time talking about it. 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.640 Whether he's right about all of that stuff. I haven't 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:13.520 got the slightest idea. I would say this, it matters 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.280 more to me than anything else in my life. I 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.960 spent the entire day yesterday, like I've spent many of 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.040 my entire days over the last thirteen years, dealing with 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:28.600 this situation with one child. Psychiatrists start this medicine, stop 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:29.400 that medicine. 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.960 Do I call the police right now? What? 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.400 How do I handle this whole situation? And it's all 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.919 because of something that my kid doesn't deserve, that happened 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.320 to him, because of the environment, or something that happens 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.760 with vaccines around Who freaking knows. I have no idea, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:47.639 but I know a lot of you are in the 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.800 same boat, and I would love to be able to 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:50.440 figure this out. 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:52.600 Love to be able to figure this out. It's the 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.280 most challenging thing that's ever happened in my life. It'll 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.320 be the most challenging thing in my son's life the 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:58.120 rest of his life. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.960 And I love it if we could have serious conversations 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:02.720 about these things. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.560 But can we? Is it possible to get it beyond 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.240 what is Trump for? Is he for it that I'm 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.000 for it? Is he for it that I'm against it? 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:11.480 Can we get past that or not? 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.560 If we can't get past that, then I guess we're 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.080 all just doomed to try to figure this all out 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:16.560 on our own. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:17.880 Yeah. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.000 Getting back more specifically at RFK Junior, I think you 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.880 could teach a college class, maybe two of them, back 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.639 to back an entire year on his nomination and the 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.919 controversies around it, because there are I mean, there's the 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.720 scientific part of it, certainly, the question of you know, 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.359 how to approach scientific studies and meta studies and that 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.840 sort of thing. Correlation and causation could be a few cases, 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:48.199 a few classes, and then you could get into a 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:54.080 situation where somebody and I'm glad that sen It's in 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:55.960 charge of getting to the bottom of this and not me, 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.359 but somebody says a whole lot of things that are true, 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.080 and a whole lot of the people that are attacking 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:09.560 him are greed heads and liars, and he's a greed 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.840 head and a crack pot and says things that aren't 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.240 true for attention and money. All of those things can 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.760 simultaneously be true. And that's why this is so interesting 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.679 to me and troubling and confusing. And you know, I 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.199 have no idea, no desire rather to offend anybody who 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.359 thinks that Bobby Kennedy would be a real force for 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.760 good given some of his stances, because I get that, 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.160 I actually get it. I'm just troubled by the guy 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:38.480 in a lot of the things he believes. 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:43.000 I am back to the general back away from RFK Junior, 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.840 to the general question of so he says, on a 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.280 regular basis, we have the sickest kids in the world. 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:54.080 Is that documentable? Is that true? I know we've got 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.880 more anxiety and depression and suicide than we've ever had. 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.360 Do we have more than other ways? I don't look 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:02.119 into this stuff. 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.000 Maybe I should, because I'm so busy dealing with my 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:06.639 own individual situation. 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:07.800 I don't really have. 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.000 Time to look into the meta problem and compare it 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.439 to you know, Norway, because I'm trying to figure out 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.640 you yesterday, yesterday, I'm on the phone with multiple doctors 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.240
