Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arms Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: This scene that you saw off the coast of Venezuela
Speaker 2: really underscores just how dynamic this whole situation is, in
Speaker 2: which you see US forces being brought over to that
Speaker 2: ship by helicopter, repelling down onto the deck, seizing the ship,
Speaker 2: taking it into custody. The Attorney General's Office says that
Speaker 2: this ship was carrying sanctioned oil and contends that it
Speaker 2: has done so for Venezuela and Iran in the past,
Speaker 2: and this is certainly an escalation, you know, a major
Speaker 2: move that is being made by the administration here in
Speaker 2: the region.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Venezuela and Iran. This is a report on NEWSNAY
Speaker 3: this morning. I thought thought was so interesting. Then they
Speaker 3: went to a military guy who said, obviously this involves Venezuela,
Speaker 3: but it's also got to do with Russia and China
Speaker 3: and the war in Ukraine and everything else, and that
Speaker 3: there are many many oil tankers around the world that
Speaker 3: just fly under false flags illegally transporting oil around to
Speaker 3: get around the various sanctions that the countries that are
Speaker 3: part of the world order try to put on bad countries.
Speaker 3: And you always wonder how they get around these sanctions. Well,
Speaker 3: it's these sort of oil tankers. And was this at
Speaker 3: least the analysis on News Nation was this wasn't just
Speaker 3: you know, the ongoing trying to force Venezuela out. This
Speaker 3: was dealing with a separate problem also of we got
Speaker 3: to do something about these illegal oil shipments that have
Speaker 3: been going on forever, I mean forever.
Speaker 4: We just not hear about these seizures or are they
Speaker 4: really really rare? They never happened, That's what the guy
Speaker 4: was talking about, the world has just been letting this
Speaker 4: happen forever.
Speaker 3: And maybe Trump has decided that's enough of that. And
Speaker 3: I wonder, now this is getting into the giving Trump
Speaker 3: credit for nine dimensional chess thing, is part of the
Speaker 3: build up around Venezuela. To do this without specifically saying
Speaker 3: out loud of Vladimir Putin to poke him or whatever,
Speaker 3: that your daisy getting around the oil sanctions are coming
Speaker 3: to an end.
Speaker 4: Mmm. M. Realize that's a bit of a stretch, but
Speaker 4: a bit of a stretch, but not crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I call it.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a minority likelihood less than fifty percent.
Speaker 1: But conspirable. Lord, it's the Jews. There you go.
Speaker 4: I saved you the trouble. Ah oh yeah. And what's
Speaker 4: the what's the latest one? Oh that the US government
Speaker 4: killed Charlie Kirk. Yeah, the help of the Jews and
Speaker 4: erin Kirk.
Speaker 1: Oh back to.
Speaker 3: The uh So, we we landed a bunch of our
Speaker 3: our military geniuses on the repelled down onto the oil tanker,
Speaker 3: took it over. The people in the oil tanker didn't
Speaker 3: fight back. That was a good move since the US,
Speaker 3: you know, a quarter of the US navies in the area.
Speaker 4: But Trump was asked, what's going to happen to the oil?
Speaker 4: This was his answer, It's unfortunate what happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know exactly what happened. He kind of
Speaker 1: started a little bit. But we'll see if we can
Speaker 1: put it out. We're interested in the world where we
Speaker 1: keep it. I guess when you have to follow the tanker,
Speaker 1: you know, here a good judgement, just followed the tanker,
Speaker 1: follow follow with the keep it. I guess that's another
Speaker 1: that point. I can't understand what they're saying anyway, we
Speaker 1: keep it. I guess.
Speaker 4: Hey are oil now you know finder scapers? Uh, so,
Speaker 4: finder escapers. We found this. Speaking of Venezuela, have you
Speaker 4: heard the story of Ria Corina Machado, the Nobel Peace
Speaker 4: Prize winner. She was trying to get to Norway by
Speaker 4: Wednesday in time to receive the prize, but she couldn't
Speaker 4: quite get there in time. So she's been hiding in
Speaker 4: this suburb of Caracas for a year.
Speaker 1: But first she.
Speaker 4: Had to get from there to a coastal fishing village.
Speaker 4: Over the course of ten nerve wracking hours, Mahado and
Speaker 4: two people helping her escape, they hit ten military checkpoints,
Speaker 4: avoiding capture each time. She was wearing a wig in
Speaker 4: in disguise. Finally reached the coast by midnight, rested a
Speaker 4: couple hours, then launched off on a perilous trip across
Speaker 4: the open Caribbean Sea to Kasau.
Speaker 1: Now why does she have to do this?
Speaker 3: Is would she be arrested by the government if they
Speaker 3: could get a hold of her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially if she's trying to leave or come back
Speaker 4: into the country or whatever.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 4: She's in hiding, but there are strong winds, choppy seas,
Speaker 4: slowed them down.
Speaker 1: That's interesting to me.
Speaker 3: I mean, prior to her becoming a big name, I
Speaker 3: could see how that was the case. But after she
Speaker 3: won the Nobel Peace Prize. God, he would bring down
Speaker 3: so much international pressure if he arrested her, certainly if
Speaker 3: he hurt her. But so well, right right, so hang
Speaker 3: with me here now. So at five a m.
Speaker 4: She and her two companions set out on a high
Speaker 4: speed boat trip across choppy seas and strong winds. All right,
Speaker 4: so what was somebody luckily said, you know what we
Speaker 4: ought to do. We ought to kill Call the US. Yeah,
Speaker 4: let the military know this is US where we're launching from.
Speaker 4: And when drawing a strike on the Nobel Peace Prize
Speaker 4: winner would not look good. And as you can see,
Speaker 4: the Nobel Peace Prize winner is still bobbing in the ocean,
Speaker 4: clinging to balsa woods.
Speaker 1: We hit her again, yeah, oh boy.
Speaker 4: So they warned American forces in the region of the
Speaker 4: vessel's occupents to avoid the kind of air strike that's
Speaker 4: hit more than twenty similar vessels in.
Speaker 1: The past three months. Perhaps you've heard about it.
Speaker 4: So it was all coordinated and her her daughter accepted
Speaker 4: the Peace Prize, but she got to Oslo the next
Speaker 4: day and was vetted or not vetted, but vetted and celebrated,
Speaker 4: and the rest of it.
Speaker 1: Vet vetted very different situations. Yeah, yeah, well she's probably
Speaker 1: fetted too.
Speaker 4: You can't have any joker walking off the street claiming
Speaker 4: they're the Nobel Priest Prize winner.
Speaker 3: But anyway, she got that show up in a city
Speaker 3: hoping to be fetted and they say, where's your birth certificate?
Speaker 1: I misread it, right, So then'd be unfortunate, right exactly.
Speaker 4: So moving along to other news, this is not getting
Speaker 4: any coverage, but I think it's really really interesting, particularly
Speaker 4: because this has been one of my many, many jihads
Speaker 4: through the years, and honestly, the confusion the reporting of
Speaker 4: it's been so confusing. Unless you know what they're talking about,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: There is a measure.
Speaker 4: A bill to overturn one of Trump's executive orders. The
Speaker 4: executive orders set no federal employee collective bargaining with the
Speaker 4: unions can't do that at an array of federal agencies,
Speaker 4: including parts of the Department of Defense, State Veterans Affairs, Justice,
Speaker 4: and Energy. Trump saying essentially we can't have the Department
Speaker 4: of Defense over a barrel because the union wants better
Speaker 4: benefits of the public employee union. And from Franklin D.
Speaker 4: Roosevelt on, most people with sanity know that there should
Speaker 4: not be collective bargaining for public employees, including one might.
Speaker 1: Argue school teachers. We could argue about that another day.
Speaker 4: It's just fraught with difficulties because the taxpayers are on
Speaker 4: the other side of the table, and generally nobody represents
Speaker 4: their interests anyway. Having said that, so there's this law
Speaker 4: to overturn Trump's executive order that the leadership won't the
Speaker 4: House leadership won't support, and so they're trying to pull
Speaker 4: off this discharge petition where you get another votes and
Speaker 4: whether the House leaders want it on the floor or not,
Speaker 4: it's coming to the floor for a vote.
Speaker 1: Here's the interesting thing.
Speaker 4: The thirteen Republicans joined Democrats to advance that bill to
Speaker 4: end Trump's efforts to cut down on the collective bargaining
Speaker 4: of unions, screwing up the government.
Speaker 1: Why did that happen? I found this interesting.
Speaker 4: A couple of these people, several of them are like
Speaker 4: in swing districts, and a couple of them just directly
Speaker 4: get a lot of union support. But here's where the
Speaker 4: thirteen were from. The thirteen congress people New Jersey, New York,
Speaker 4: New York, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
Speaker 4: New Jersey, Minnesota, and Ida and Ohio.
Speaker 1: They're just all in big Union states.
Speaker 4: You'd hope Republicans would stand up for principle.
Speaker 1: NA, it's not gonna happen. So moving along.
Speaker 4: Mentioned this early in the show, this is a huge,
Speaker 4: huge story. We played the whole audio of the Attorney
Speaker 4: General of Florida announcing this, James Huttmeyer.
Speaker 1: But the state of Florida's filed.
Speaker 4: Two blockbuster lawsuits, one against Starbucks for discriminating against white
Speaker 4: people in the post George Floyd madness era. But secondly,
Speaker 4: Florida's filed suit against three medical groups that have pushed
Speaker 4: children being mutilated in these sex change experiments that kids
Speaker 4: can't possibly consent to. The w path Maniacs, the World
Speaker 4: Professional Association for Transgender Health, the Endocrine Society, and the
Speaker 4: American Academy of Pediatrics. And he just absolutely blasts him.
Speaker 4: They failed to disclose the risks, limits and evidence when
Speaker 4: promoting promoting so called gender affirming care for children. For years,
Speaker 4: these groups insisted the recommendations were set up science, but
Speaker 4: behind the closed doors, they knew the evidence was weak,
Speaker 4: they said, So they knew the outcomes are uncertain and
Speaker 4: the risk was real, and parents were not told the
Speaker 4: full story. In fact, many of them were emotionally blackmailed
Speaker 4: that if you did not turn Johnny into Jenny, Jenny
Speaker 4: would commit suicide.
Speaker 3: So is the key proving that they knew there were
Speaker 3: doing the wrong thing or known you're allowed to be wrong.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but if you're a medical association pushing say
Speaker 4: some heart surgery, that there's no statistical evidence that it's
Speaker 4: a good idea, yeah, you're absolutely liable. I was just
Speaker 4: wondering if it's like the tobacco companies, if they got
Speaker 4: emails or whatever, were people communicating where it's pretty clear
Speaker 4: that they knew they were pushing bs that was your help,
Speaker 4: I would think, although, I mean, if it's just gross negligent,
Speaker 4: I think they actually believed it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've heard people say it out loud that
Speaker 3: the whole you have to you have.
Speaker 1: To you know, do the.
Speaker 3: What do they call that addictomy or yeah, or the
Speaker 3: kid woke commit suicide. So you got no, but you
Speaker 3: said people, and I think it's absolutely imperative. You recognize
Speaker 3: we're talking about medical professionals and their groups. I mean,
Speaker 3: removing healthy genitalia from children unsupported by any reasonable evidence
Speaker 3: based science is horrific. Can I believe that they took
Speaker 3: the very specific small study about suicide and extrapolated it
Speaker 3: in their own minds to get the woke mind virus
Speaker 3: and believed it.
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do believe that. Yeah, Yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 4: So where this goes should be really really interesting to watch.
Speaker 1: My virus is a real thing. I agree with Elan
Speaker 1: on that sense. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just read actually a different study about how so
Speaker 4: much of the transgender stuff was just a signal of
Speaker 4: political position, political attitudes, and that the kids are so
Speaker 4: susceptible to that sort of thing tribal signaling or fashion
Speaker 4: signaling or I want to be in the in crowd signaling.
Speaker 4: That makes it all the more monstrous that you would
Speaker 4: seize on that sort of thing among children and alter
Speaker 4: their bodies forever.
Speaker 1: It's monstrous.
Speaker 3: It's like that buddy of mine here is his daughter,
Speaker 3: high school daughter, Herne. All her friends, like nine of
Speaker 3: them decided they were gay. At school and he was
Speaker 3: telling her statistically, that's really just not possible.
Speaker 4: And also statistically, in just a few years, the vast
Speaker 4: majority of you, we will say never mind, if not
Speaker 4: all of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so go Florida.
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon joke just came across on Twitter. I don't
Speaker 3: know how old it is. It doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 3: It's really interesting, among other things.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
Speaker 4: This is kind of apropos and nothing, and we don't
Speaker 4: need to dwell on it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long ago this.
Speaker 3: Was guessing since they were talking about the twenty twenty census.
Speaker 3: It was when do we get that information year year
Speaker 3: or two later, something like that. Yeah, AnyWho, And there's scary.
Speaker 3: There's music behind this because I came across it on
Speaker 3: Twitter and they wanted to be scary.
Speaker 1: It actually is scary.
Speaker 3: But this is a joke from the Tonight Show and
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon when he was talking about census data.
Speaker 1: Some more news.
Speaker 3: The results of the twenty twenty census just came out
Speaker 3: and for the first time in American history, the number
Speaker 3: of white people went down.
Speaker 4: That's the whole clip. Just and Jimmy Fallon had a
Speaker 4: look on his face. He looked at the band and
Speaker 4: made this confused face, like, why are you cheering that?
Speaker 1: Wow? What great? Being weird? How often has that ever happened?
Speaker 3: I've asked this question many times. How often has this
Speaker 3: ever happened in world history? We're any group of people,
Speaker 3: because I guarantee a lot of those people cheering were
Speaker 3: cheers their own diminishing power or existence or whatever.
Speaker 4: As I started to say, that is a really great
Speaker 4: emblem of how sick that time was, where self hatred
Speaker 4: among white people was so fashionable. Some have clung onto that,
Speaker 4: but they're sick. I think it's still around, and I
Speaker 4: don't care what the percentage of white people are. Doesn't
Speaker 4: make any difference to me. If you believe in you.
Speaker 3: Know, self governance and limited government, low taxes, The hue
Speaker 3: of your.
Speaker 4: Skin got nothing to do with it. But fewer white people,
Speaker 4: no matter your color, day is.
Speaker 3: Strange, subhorrent, sick And obviously don't even need to say this. Obviously,
Speaker 3: if you said that about any other skin color or
Speaker 3: religion or anything like that and people cheered.
Speaker 4: It would be a national crisis. Might they would end
Speaker 4: your career, take away your children. Oh, speaking of which,
Speaker 4: let's play this now, it goes along great. This is
Speaker 4: a Congresswoman, Sarah Stalker, Democrat of Kentucky at an education
Speaker 4: hearing eleven Michael.
Speaker 5: I don't feel good about being white every day for
Speaker 5: a lot of reasons, because it's a point of privilege
Speaker 5: that I get to move through the world in a
Speaker 5: way that so many of my other colleagues and friends
Speaker 5: and family members of the community don't get the privilege
Speaker 5: to do. And I'm just a female, but just a woman,
Speaker 5: just a white woman. If I was a white man,
Speaker 5: I would be functioning from a point of.
Speaker 1: Even greater privilege.
Speaker 5: I think we're missing an opportunity when kids have a
Speaker 5: moment to reflect about how the color of their skin
Speaker 5: does and does not allow them to move through the world,
Speaker 5: running to them and trying to stifle that and trying
Speaker 5: to say you shouldn't feel bad, so we don't want
Speaker 5: to ever expose you to something that is going to
Speaker 5: make you have to pause and have maybe some internal feelings.
Speaker 5: It's a missed opportunity for some really good diale.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what a favor of making white children
Speaker 4: feel bad for the color of their skin in every
Speaker 4: class And she.
Speaker 1: Is a what what is her position of power? Is
Speaker 1: she a congress person or is that a state legislator?
Speaker 1: She's a state representative. I don't care.
Speaker 4: She's a hot dog vendor on the corner. That attitude
Speaker 4: is unbelievable. Yeah, so she went from uh, she not
Speaker 4: only is going with the you need to recognize it,
Speaker 4: which I've never understood what the hell that means?
Speaker 1: What? What what am I supposed to do with that?
Speaker 4: It is somewhat easier to be a white person than
Speaker 4: a black person, for instance, Okay, some of the time, probably.
Speaker 1: Depending on how what do you want me to do?
Speaker 1: Just now feel bad?
Speaker 4: But then she took it to if kids aren't feeling bad,
Speaker 4: that's a problem, right, you are so nuts? Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: certainly misled. But she's a useful idiot of neo Marxism
Speaker 4: that seeks to pit all of us against each other,
Speaker 4: victim and oppressor at every moment. And how do you
Speaker 4: get power away from the patriarchy or the white supremacists
Speaker 4: as they see it, by shaming them into giving away,
Speaker 4: you know, virtually everything they have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: I'll bet she actually believes this also, though play that
Speaker 4: very first part again, though I thought that was interesting,
Speaker 4: just the first like sentence A useful idiot.
Speaker 5: I don't feel good about being white every day?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 3: You go through every day of your life not feeling
Speaker 3: good about your skin color.
Speaker 1: You're so crazy. I mean that's on your mind every day.
Speaker 4: How Wow, I'd like to crawl inside her brain for
Speaker 4: a while.
Speaker 1: Live that way. So people are sick and they're teaching
Speaker 1: their kids. Wow, different topic.
Speaker 3: The NATO Secretary General just gave one hell of a
Speaker 3: speech in Berlin that we ought to pay attention to
Speaker 3: no matter your skin.
Speaker 4: Color, and I will finally pay off. Why is ice slippery?
Speaker 4: Science thinks they've figured it out. They didn't know why
Speaker 4: we can fall on our heads happily knowing science can
Speaker 4: explain it.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Lucia has bought We're back into Europe and he must
Speaker 2: be prepared for the skill of our grandparents and great
Speaker 2: grandparents and Jeordan.
Speaker 3: That's part of quite a speech that was given today
Speaker 3: in Berlin by the current NATO Secretary General. That's Mark Root.
Speaker 3: I don't know what his nationality is. The commander of
Speaker 3: NATO is always an American because we are NATO, and
Speaker 3: NATO will only succeed.
Speaker 1: With US, at least so far.
Speaker 3: But the Secretary General said today we are Russia's next target.
Speaker 4: We must shift to a wartime mindset. Ukraine must have
Speaker 4: what it needs to defend itself. Russia's losing twelve hundred
Speaker 4: soldiers a day. If Putin's willing to sacrifice ordinary Russians
Speaker 4: like this, what is he prepared to do to us?
Speaker 4: Eighty percent of the critical components in Russians drones and
Speaker 4: missiles are made in China.
Speaker 1: China is a lifeline for Russia's war.
Speaker 3: Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO
Speaker 3: within five years. Conflict is at our door. And then
Speaker 3: what you just heard, we must be prepared for the
Speaker 3: scale of war our grandparents and great grandparents endured.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow is right.
Speaker 4: Well, and that's Samed at least partly right at Trump too,
Speaker 4: with that recent security document that came out that honestly
Speaker 4: its significance is overrated. But yeah, I think Europe is
Speaker 4: really really concerned about Trump's attitude toward Russia and Europe.
Speaker 1: Of course, what are they willing to do about it? Well?
Speaker 4: I like what he's saying that Europe needs to be
Speaker 4: ready to well, it needs to be ready for war
Speaker 4: on that scale, should it come as opposed to being
Speaker 4: a fat, lazy old you know, you know family pet
Speaker 4: of the United States that does nothing to protect the homestead.
Speaker 3: As I pointed out before, I forget what thinker said
Speaker 3: were for European countries in this battle. There are those
Speaker 3: that can but won't, and there are those that can't
Speaker 3: and won't. That's pretty much your choices.
Speaker 4: You got a handful of countries that can't even reform
Speaker 4: their entitlements and the rest of the things. The socialism
Speaker 4: in short, that's dragging them down to balance their budget,
Speaker 4: never mind dedicating another two three four percent of their
Speaker 4: GDP to defense.
Speaker 1: Good luck with that.
Speaker 3: Well, how about that shot at China? What was what's
Speaker 3: the intention there? Eighty percent of the critic components in
Speaker 3: Russians drones and missiles are made in China. China is
Speaker 3: a lifeline for Russia's.
Speaker 4: War message in that new foreign policy document that the
Speaker 4: Trump administration put out, they kissed up to China. They
Speaker 4: made it all about, hey, we got to do business
Speaker 4: with channelists. Do business with them there, buddy, And Europe
Speaker 4: needs to straighten up, including the best new Navidia chips
Speaker 4: yea and Ukraine needs to give up and the rest
Speaker 4: of it. Yeah, the Euros are not happy with the
Speaker 4: state of American foreign policy right now.
Speaker 3: I'm not happy with their foreign policy. I want you
Speaker 3: to do something about it. As I've said eighty times,
Speaker 3: I'm on Donald Tusk of Poland's side.
Speaker 1: Why are we.
Speaker 3: Equal economy to the United States counting on them to defend.
Speaker 1: Ourselves against Russia. Well, that's what Ruth's saying. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what he's saying. Yeah, well, you're turning it into Trump.
Speaker 3: I'm standing up for America about Europe does something about
Speaker 3: their own backyard.
Speaker 1: And then that was beautiful. That was really good and
Speaker 1: a nice saying. I think. I think that's when. I
Speaker 1: think that's when Lee Greenwood comes on the stage.
Speaker 4: Or something, eagle flies by or I'm not sure really,
Speaker 4: but yeah, probably the balls hit rock punches you in
Speaker 4: the balls exactly.
Speaker 1: Anyway, a couple old guys fighting.
Speaker 3: Here's my best slipping on the ice story before you
Speaker 3: explain to us why ice is slippery. And I've fallen
Speaker 3: down on ice many many times in my life. Having
Speaker 3: grown up in South Dakota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Kansas, I've
Speaker 3: slipped on the ice many many times, but my best
Speaker 3: slipping on the ice that hurt the most and was
Speaker 3: the most embarrassing. I'm in a tuxedo, I think for
Speaker 3: a wedding, and uh.
Speaker 1: Hard shoes are bad on ice, man, oh boy.
Speaker 3: And the worst of hard shoes cheap rental tuxedo shoes,
Speaker 3: which aren't likely.
Speaker 4: To have any rubber grips on them or anything like that.
Speaker 4: They're just the smooth leather.
Speaker 3: Somehow, like it was like a cartoon. I could feel it,
Speaker 3: and it feels like there was a pause in mid air.
Speaker 3: Both my feet went out and I feel like I
Speaker 3: was horizontal in the air at about eye height. That's
Speaker 3: what it felt like to me for like a second
Speaker 3: with music bellying in the background, before I came down
Speaker 3: to the ground, completely flat on the sidewalk. It was just, oh,
Speaker 3: did that hurt?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: She don't know how that happened, Auchie, Because ice is slippery, Jack,
Speaker 4: But why is ice slippery? I had no idea, We
Speaker 4: didn't know. It had never occurred to me to ask.
Speaker 4: Everybody knows it's slippery because ice is got a thin,
Speaker 4: watery layer on top of it. Well's gonna say if
Speaker 4: you put a thin watery layer on anything, pavement, anything,
Speaker 4: it's slippery.
Speaker 1: So that seems to answer the question, it's more slippery.
Speaker 4: But why is there a See, this is why you're
Speaker 4: not a scientist. Why is there a thin watery layer. Well,
Speaker 4: three main theories about the phenomenon have been debated over
Speaker 4: the past two centuries. This is one of the great
Speaker 4: questions confronting mankind and one that frankly, could go un
Speaker 4: answered for the rest of time and everybody'd continue to
Speaker 4: fall and break their elbow. But anyway, earlier this year,
Speaker 4: researchers in Germany who ought to have a better defense,
Speaker 4: put forward a fourth hypothesis that they say solves the
Speaker 4: puzzle all right. So hypothesis number one was pressure, Like
Speaker 4: if you're skating or you step on it, the pressure
Speaker 4: melts the surface, making its slippery. Now, in the nineteen
Speaker 4: thirties they disproved that they calculated to me the average
Speaker 4: skier exerts way too little pressure to significantly alter ICE's
Speaker 4: melting point. To do so, the skier would have to
Speaker 4: weigh thousands of kilograms, and certainly that five thousand pounds
Speaker 4: skier would need specially designed skis moving along. How about friction, Yes,
Speaker 4: it's the friction that melts the ice as you step
Speaker 4: on it. They tested Zeri and Round official ice cave
Speaker 4: in the Swiss Alps, using a complex contraption to measure
Speaker 4: the friction between ice and other materials. Although this explanation
Speaker 4: still appears in textbooks, many scientists disagree with it. The
Speaker 4: problem is that you only melt the ice behind you,
Speaker 4: not the ice you're actually skating on. Ah right, exactly,
Speaker 4: you haven't.
Speaker 3: You haven't had friction on the stuff that your skating
Speaker 3: blade is about to hit, and it's already slippery.
Speaker 4: And to test the friction hypothesis, these scientists created a
Speaker 4: microscopic ice skating rink. They rotated a piece of metal
Speaker 4: standing in for a blade of a skate at different speeds,
Speaker 4: measuring the force required to move the metal and force
Speaker 4: the metal exerted onto the ice.
Speaker 1: Measure that.
Speaker 3: It turns out, I was assuming that, like all scientific experts,
Speaker 3: experiments that involved mice.
Speaker 4: So they put mice in tiny little ice skits. Couldn't
Speaker 4: get them laced up. Try it over and over again,
Speaker 4: couldn't get them on type. The mice's ankles just bent sideways.
Speaker 4: Sound they gave it up anyway, that didn't work. In short,
Speaker 4: there's another possibility the ice surface is wet before anything
Speaker 4: makes contact with it. That's called the pre melting theory,
Speaker 4: which is getting close but hypothesis number four. Recently, a
Speaker 4: team of researchers in Germany identified arguments against all three
Speaker 4: prevailing theories for pressure to be high enough to melt
Speaker 4: eight surfaces.
Speaker 1: In short, it doesn't. It doesn't work.
Speaker 3: So my biggest question is, and I'll bet there's an
Speaker 3: answer to this. It seems like a lot of time, effort,
Speaker 3: and money is being spent on trying to figure this out.
Speaker 3: So there must be some reason they think if they
Speaker 3: could figure out why, and I bet it's got to
Speaker 3: do with some sort of cheap transportation or something, why
Speaker 3: they need the answer to this question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there was another explanation that I kind of skipped, that,
Speaker 4: being that surface molecules don't have as many neighbors as
Speaker 4: low lying molecules, and so they don't have enough energy
Speaker 4: to overcome the strong bonds with solid ice molecules. And
Speaker 4: that's what they're looking at right now. Gemstone polishers have
Speaker 4: long known from experience that some sides of a diamond
Speaker 4: are easier to polish or softer than others. In twenty eleven,
Speaker 4: another German research group published paper explaining this phenomenon. They
Speaker 4: created computer simulations of two diamonds sliding against each other.
Speaker 4: Atoms on the surface were mechanically pulled out of their bonds,
Speaker 4: which allowed them to move form new bonds and so on.
Speaker 4: This sliding formed a structureless amorphous layer, and in contrast
Speaker 4: to the liquid nature of the diamond, this layer is
Speaker 4: disordered and behaves more like a liquid than a solid.
Speaker 1: So it gets go ahead. I'll think about that the
Speaker 1: next time I'm polishing in the diamond. Wow.
Speaker 4: So they argue that a similar mechanism happens in ice.
Speaker 4: They simulated ice surfaces sliding against each other. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: It's at a molecular level. It's just more unstable at
Speaker 4: the edges. And so you know, I've I've played pond
Speaker 4: hockey on days that were so bitterly cold it was
Speaker 4: a risk for frostbite at every moment. There's no melting
Speaker 4: of the surface of the ice under any circumstances. Yet
Speaker 4: it was slippery as hell. They should have asked a
Speaker 4: young pond hockey player.
Speaker 1: Our pond. Yeah, that's true. I've been on ice. It's
Speaker 1: not slippery.
Speaker 3: Our pond nearby when I lived in one time moved
Speaker 3: a lot and when we lived in a near Hazel Green, Wisconsin,
Speaker 3: tiny little time, the pond that we'd go out on
Speaker 3: was actually the sewage that's where all the sewage would go,
Speaker 3: and then it would freeze over and have a ice
Speaker 3: on the top and we'd.
Speaker 4: Go out there and skate around stuff like that. But
Speaker 4: occasionally it would break and I don't remember anybody ever
Speaker 4: fallen in, but like you could throw rocks in that
Speaker 4: pond and the water that would splash up would be brown.
Speaker 1: I was disgusting.
Speaker 4: Oh and it horrible, But we would go out on
Speaker 4: that when it was frozen winter.
Speaker 1: Wonderland. Mmm, We're lucky.
Speaker 4: Our little town in Chicago Land we had a big,
Speaker 4: big park at the time. It's kind of gotten squashed
Speaker 4: by building a school in the middle of it and
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. But they would just flood these large,
Speaker 4: large surfaces of the park and it would freeze like
Speaker 4: for most of the winter. That was great to play on.
Speaker 4: That was the purpose. Oh yeah, yeah, for pond hockey.
Speaker 3: Could you get away with that anymore? Or would you
Speaker 3: get sued? Because somebody fell and hurt their arm, or.
Speaker 4: Oh, now you're making me sangry, sad and angry. Yeaheah,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, but oh yeah, god.
Speaker 1: We'd be out there for hours and hours and hours and.
Speaker 4: Hours and at risk of getting a bruise or I
Speaker 4: took a couple of bucks off the face of maybe
Speaker 4: bleeding a little bit. And all we got out of
Speaker 4: it was constant exercise, inventing games, inventing rules, adjudicating disputes
Speaker 4: for those rules, and just.
Speaker 1: All without adult supervision.
Speaker 4: And when we did get our heads split open, we thought,
Speaker 4: ow huh. And we made our way home and our
Speaker 4: mom said, oh my god, what happened, and they dealt
Speaker 4: with our wounds, and we thought, yeah, it's no big
Speaker 4: deal to get hurt.
Speaker 1: You're generally pretty okay. It's a good thing we didn't
Speaker 1: do that when we were kids. My grade school in
Speaker 1: high school had a steep hill that we skate. We
Speaker 1: slid down on our shoes in the middle of the winter,
Speaker 1: and it was so much fun.
Speaker 3: Everybody would wear their Sunday school shoes on the bus
Speaker 3: in the winter. See have your slipperiest shoes on and
Speaker 3: get at the top of the hill and you just
Speaker 3: kind of squat down and go flying down that thing
Speaker 3: and crash at the bottom, and.
Speaker 1: Everybody loved it. Yeah, there's no way you'd come close
Speaker 1: to doing that sort of thing. Now.
Speaker 3: I'll visit at that school when we were at the convention,
Speaker 3: the Republican Convention and Madison, I drove over and checked.
Speaker 3: That school still has the hill, But I'll bet they
Speaker 3: don't let people sled down it on.
Speaker 1: Their shoes anymore.
Speaker 4: I would bet you any sum of money you're right,
Speaker 4: and does any Is there a single human being that
Speaker 4: thinks that's better? There might be sort of moms that
Speaker 4: go to the skate park and make kids fill out
Speaker 4: forms to make sure they have a helmet on before
Speaker 4: they have any fun. The fact that Jack played on sewage, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's where I'm stuck. Okay, sewage hockey. It's not like
Speaker 4: we've lost in America. And the fact that that was
Speaker 4: the sliding down the hill generation one World War two
Speaker 4: all right, didn't really It was several generators, remember though, huh,
Speaker 4: I don't remember dashing Grenada.
Speaker 1: So playing on the sewage pond is surprising to you.
Speaker 3: It's surprising to me looking back on it a lot.
Speaker 3: I don't know that any there were any parents that
Speaker 3: were aware we were doing it, so they might not
Speaker 3: have been in.
Speaker 1: Favor of it either. I don't It was.
Speaker 3: Off far away. What was the best toll exactly? The
Speaker 3: death toll was zero. Luckily we were still still around
Speaker 3: to win World War two. According to Joe in the seventies,
Speaker 3: we will finish ship strong next. I swear our goal
Speaker 3: on this show every day is not how could we
Speaker 3: depress people the most? Though sometimes it seems like that
Speaker 3: is our raison dat track for this program.
Speaker 4: Stike you sad, scared or depressed. I don't know, It's
Speaker 4: just our personalities, I guess.
Speaker 3: Anyway, there's this article that would would be uplifting if
Speaker 3: it weren't for I'm going to throw in there, here's
Speaker 3: why you shouldn't be so happy. Oh No, four oh
Speaker 3: one k's are minting a generation of millionaires. Many Americans
Speaker 3: are peaking that the retirement counts and cheering higher balances.
Speaker 3: I had to for legal reasons, actually take a look
Speaker 3: at my four on one K yesterday, and it was
Speaker 3: pretty pleased at where it was compared to the last
Speaker 3: place I looked at it. Because, as you know, the
Speaker 3: stock market is been setting a record practically every day
Speaker 3: for quite a while now, and it's a lot higher.
Speaker 1: As of the.
Speaker 3: Third quarter, there were six hundred and fifty four thousand
Speaker 3: millionaires in the brokerage fadility, just from their four to
Speaker 3: one k, highest level they've ever had. My first thought
Speaker 3: when I read that was yeah, but with inflation, it
Speaker 3: don't quite mean the same as it used to.
Speaker 1: So I got out my inflation calculator and here's.
Speaker 3: Where I take what was supposed to be an uplifting
Speaker 3: story about how many of us are millionaires and turn
Speaker 3: it into it's not quite the same. It depends on
Speaker 3: how far back you want to go. But if you
Speaker 3: go back to nineteen eighty, like you know, were you
Speaker 3: a kid or whatever you were in nineteen eighty and
Speaker 3: you had a view of what a millionaire was, well,
Speaker 3: that person that'd be like a someone a two hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars back then, two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, a two hundred and fifty thousand there, or
Speaker 3: another way to look at it, was a millionaire back then,
Speaker 3: you'd have to have four million dollars now to reach
Speaker 3: what you thought of as a millionaire back then in
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty or Okay, that's too far back, you're not
Speaker 3: that old. Let's just go back to two thousand, in
Speaker 3: the beginning of the century. Still about half a million.
Speaker 3: She still got to have about wow million dollars to
Speaker 3: be the same as what a millionaire was in the
Speaker 3: year two thousand.
Speaker 4: Keep pumping currency into the economy and devaluing everything we've
Speaker 4: worked for a government.
Speaker 3: I'm not actually, my goal actually isn't to make me
Speaker 3: or anyone said. My goal is let and this is
Speaker 3: one of the cores of conservative is to live in reality.
Speaker 4: There's no point in going around thinking I'm a millionaire.
Speaker 3: If your view of a millionaire is a little outdated
Speaker 3: given the inflation over the.
Speaker 1: Last several years.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean to the extent that I have
Speaker 4: a philosophy of this show at all.
Speaker 1: It's what is the truth? What's reality? That's something, isn't it.
Speaker 4: The nineteen eighty number was interesting, The two year two
Speaker 4: thousand number was shocking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cutting in half Pikes final, Oh gee, are you
Speaker 1: ready to soft rock? Here's your host for final thoughts.
Speaker 4: Joe getting Let's get a final time from everybody on
Speaker 4: the crew. To wrap up the day, there is Michael
Speaker 4: Angelo pressing the buttons in the control room.
Speaker 1: Michael final thought, you.
Speaker 4: Know, we did a news story about cheeseburgers and then
Speaker 4: it turned into it we need to get a cheeseburger
Speaker 4: for lunch. I'm just thinking, how often do we do
Speaker 4: stories about food.
Speaker 1: And it ends up becoming lunch after the show? A lot?
Speaker 4: A lot? Yeah, indeed, Katie Green are a steam newswoman.
Speaker 4: As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 3: Well, on that note, I have already planned my cheeseburger
Speaker 3: for later today.
Speaker 1: He wants me talk about it. I have to have it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too, heah yeah, and you're cheeseburgering for two yes.
Speaker 4: Jack. A final thought, Ah, the way I.
Speaker 3: Have started to do it is to I'll indulge the cheeseburger,
Speaker 3: but no fries. There's really no reason for me eating
Speaker 3: French fries. I love French fries, are delicious, but I
Speaker 3: mean they're just there's just like no.
Speaker 1: Health benefit to eating French fries. Yeah. I love the cheeseburger,
Speaker 1: love it, love it, love it like everybody does.
Speaker 4: But if I had one food, I had to eat
Speaker 4: only that the rest of my life, no question. Be
Speaker 4: like supreme pizza. Number one, I'm a pizza freak. Number two.
Speaker 1: I get tired of sausage, I just pick off the sausage.
Speaker 4: I get tired of green peppers and just pick off
Speaker 4: the peppers.
Speaker 1: So it's a bit of a cheating, is what you're doing.
Speaker 1: It's not cheating at all, it's thinking. Do you consider
Speaker 1: thinking cheating? Do you do you?
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny Armstrong in Geeddy wrapping up, But oh
Speaker 3: they're grueling four hour work there.
Speaker 4: I would eat pizza five daytes a week. Ah, so
Speaker 4: many people who thinks so a little time ago. At
Speaker 4: Armstrong and geddy dot com, the swag store is still open.
Speaker 4: Put a picture of the really cool T shirt. You're
Speaker 4: gonna get your loved one under the tree. That's good enough.
Speaker 4: Drop is a oak nail bag. At Armstrong and Getdy
Speaker 4: dot com, I give.
Speaker 1: Them a picture of their gift. They'll get us soon enough.
Speaker 1: Sure we will see tomorrow with all the news. Oh
Speaker 1: tomorrow's Friday. I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 4: We'll see then, God us America. I'm strong and Jetty
Speaker 4: stole bluff the show. Listen there there get a six.
Speaker 1: Sons all honey yet song. Benny Foot Song, Benny Foot,
Speaker 1: Sonny Top Talk, Bendy, Tom Tugbady's Dot Talk, Armstrong and
