Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong
Speaker 1: and Jato arms Strong and Getty. Could he come inside?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: Awesome, you're groundated? No, my friends show me that one.
Speaker 3: They're ground You go outside?
Speaker 2: Well, it's different for you because you would rather be
Speaker 2: inside your corner shops.
Speaker 1: To be outside. You need to be a kid.
Speaker 2: Do something out here. There's a lot of things you
Speaker 2: can do. Climb the tree, jump the fence. I don't
Speaker 2: really care, go tea the audition neighbor.
Speaker 1: It's not worry. You have to be creative. What do
Speaker 1: you want to do inside?
Speaker 4: Anyways?
Speaker 1: And that's the probable.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: You know, well, that kid sounded like he was reading
Speaker 1: from a script. But I had a very similar conversation
Speaker 1: with my son last night, like in a very serious way.
Speaker 1: He was breaking down emotionally over this, over the whole
Speaker 1: thing I talked about over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm getting rid of Netflix and Disney and all that
Speaker 1: different sort of stuff. As I've been encouraging him for
Speaker 1: a long time. Got to come up with other things
Speaker 1: to do. He's homeschooled, so he has more time on
Speaker 1: his hands than his brother does. But uh, it's I
Speaker 1: do have some sympathy as a guy who loves to read.
Speaker 1: I find it difficult to read now because my brain
Speaker 1: is warped from looking at my phone. And I didn't
Speaker 1: start looking at my phone until I was forty five.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you've been if you've been doing
Speaker 1: that your whole life. Just the pace of things being outside.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to get a stick and like digging the
Speaker 1: dirt at their point, which is what I did sometimes,
Speaker 1: but just the pace is just so slow.
Speaker 5: We need and this is my ten million dollar idea
Speaker 5: that I'm too shift list to actually implement. We need
Speaker 5: electronic detox programs, and I know they exist, but they
Speaker 5: need to be like well known and popular where whether
Speaker 5: as an adult or as a parent or whatever. Maybe
Speaker 5: the kid himself realizes I am making myself insane. I
Speaker 5: need two weeks in the woods to decompress, get weaned
Speaker 5: off the devices, get back in touch with the reality.
Speaker 5: I mean actual real reality, not virtual reality reality.
Speaker 1: I need it myself, right, I camba have we done?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what are human beings doing to themselves?
Speaker 5: You know quote unquote tech I swear is the apple
Speaker 5: from the tree and knowledge in the Book of Genesis.
Speaker 5: It is the the thing we cannot handle as a species.
Speaker 1: Troubles me greatly and I only think about it every
Speaker 1: single day. So well, we're gonna do oh oh.
Speaker 5: Speaking of kids, I wanted to bring this up and again,
Speaker 5: you're not gonna hear this anywhere but here. Even though
Speaker 5: it's a huge, huge story, and especially in the wake
Speaker 5: of the recent Supreme Court oral arguments, the UK has
Speaker 5: banned puberty blockers for gender confused children indefinitely. It's an
Speaker 5: unacceptable safety risk quote unquote. Existing emergency measures banning the
Speaker 5: sale and supply puberty supressing hormones will be made indefinite
Speaker 5: following official advice from medical experts. Any medical expert that
Speaker 5: is not utterly corrupted by radical gender theory can look
Speaker 5: at the evidence and see what the CAST report saw
Speaker 5: and say, wow, there is no evidence that this is
Speaker 5: worth all of the risks and the side effects and
Speaker 5: the injuries and eighty five percent of kids grow out
Speaker 5: of it within six months anyway, and the rest of it.
Speaker 5: So I don't know what to say other than that
Speaker 5: the UK has made their very very strong decision, joining
Speaker 5: half a dozen other European countries that are doing exactly
Speaker 5: the same thing.
Speaker 1: So the biggest political story of the day to me,
Speaker 1: and I think this can't be overstated, is how high
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is right now as a politician compared to
Speaker 1: where he once was. There might not be a example
Speaker 1: of this throughout world history of anybody being as low
Speaker 1: as somebody was and as high as somebody was as
Speaker 1: right now with Donald Trump, it is absolutely amazing. So today,
Speaker 1: in case you didn't know it, he rang the bell
Speaker 1: to open the New York Stock Exchange, which no president
Speaker 1: or president elect has done since Reagan. So it's been
Speaker 1: forty years for whatever reason. But there's a video out
Speaker 1: of when Donald Trump gets told this yesterday, when somebody
Speaker 1: comes to us, say, hey, we just got the news
Speaker 1: the New York Stock Exchange is invited you to ring
Speaker 1: the bell. Nobody, no president has done it since Reagan
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two or whatever it is. It And
Speaker 1: you can just tell the I mean, the guy who's
Speaker 1: grown up in New York. New York is his home town.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, being successful wherever you went to
Speaker 1: high school, sure, I mean, and at the same day
Speaker 1: Time Magazine names You're gonna be on the cover of
Speaker 1: Time magazine, which Trump is an old man, it still
Speaker 1: really means something to be Time Magazine's person of the year.
Speaker 5: Oh you know who else is Time Magazine's person of
Speaker 5: the year Jack Perhaps you've heard of him Hitler.
Speaker 1: And so the combination of those two things with this
Speaker 1: CNN poll that is out, first of all, the CNN
Speaker 1: poll on how do you feel Trump is handling the transition?
Speaker 1: Fifty five forty five approved. He's got a ten point win.
Speaker 1: We're just a couple of weeks ago he was Hitler
Speaker 1: according to everyone, exception for people who are going to
Speaker 1: vote for Trump.
Speaker 5: And to me, the most interesting part of the transition
Speaker 5: the way it's being run is he's more or less
Speaker 5: the president already.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely.
Speaker 5: I wish we could revive James Madison and have him say, yeah,
Speaker 5: have the new guys start early. The old guy's not
Speaker 5: doing anything, so let's get started. Because that's the feel
Speaker 5: of it, according to Democrats.
Speaker 1: According to Politico over the weekend, unnamed Democrats in the
Speaker 1: White House saying, yeah, it feels like Trump's the president already.
Speaker 1: Democrats and the White House are saying that. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely amazing. So they break it down your choices
Speaker 1: on here are a lot of confidence, some confidence, no
Speaker 1: real confidence, no opinion. And here's all these different categories
Speaker 1: that Trump's killing it in. Dealing with the economy. You
Speaker 1: add up a lot of confidence with some confidencies at
Speaker 1: sixty five percent in the you know, positive territory on
Speaker 1: dealing with the economy, handling the war between Russia and
Speaker 1: Ukraine's sixty two, dealing with immigration policy sixty providing real
Speaker 1: leadership for the country fifty nine, handling foreign affairs. God
Speaker 1: Ian Bremer and people like him constantly writing how nervous
Speaker 1: world leaders are now that Trump's coming back in the eyes. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: Americans are fifty five percent of them either a lot
Speaker 1: or somewhat okay with way He's going to handle it,
Speaker 1: Appointing the best people to office fifty four percent, and
Speaker 1: then the most amazing one given January sixth, using the
Speaker 1: power of the presidency responsibly fifty four percent. He's above
Speaker 1: fifty on all of those categories. It's stunning. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: how much of it is the positive Trump thing? How
Speaker 1: much of it is the negative Democrat thing? They're just
Speaker 1: so not liked or respected or trusted. Yes, that's a
Speaker 1: great question.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, I would love to think
Speaker 5: long and hard about this and question others from a
Speaker 5: completely non partisan point of view. Just trying to understand
Speaker 5: how an electorate moves from one place to another is
Speaker 5: part of it. Just the dimming of memories, the when
Speaker 5: Lestrei's hand sung, those too painful to remember, we simply
Speaker 5: choose to forget. Is there a certain amount of that
Speaker 5: of the negatives of Trump? As you point out, Well,
Speaker 5: it's a binary choice, and the current guy is just
Speaker 5: a miserable loser. So yeah, we're gonna go with the
Speaker 5: next guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know. So final thing on this. Democrats are
Speaker 1: still trying to do a bit of an autopsy, not
Speaker 1: just on the election but on their party, like where
Speaker 1: are we and what's the future and everything like that.
Speaker 1: Polling suggests that Trump is ideologically closer to the median
Speaker 1: voter than Kamala Harris Shock. Third Way, which is a
Speaker 1: centrist democratic think tank their job is to figure this
Speaker 1: stuff out to get Democrats elected, conducted a post election
Speaker 1: survey asking voters to place themselves Harrison Trump on a
Speaker 1: scale ranging from zero very liberal to ten, very conservative.
Speaker 1: The mean response was two point four point five for Harris,
Speaker 1: just dang close down to the liberal end, seven point
Speaker 1: seven eight for Trump. For all voters it's five point
Speaker 1: sixty three. So Trump is way closer to where the
Speaker 1: average American is than Kamala Harris. I mean it's not
Speaker 1: even close. No wonder he won. Yeah, yeah, that's striking.
Speaker 1: I thought I had it and that's with me. And
Speaker 1: if you lean Wright, it's good news because the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: if they want to have any say whatsoever, is going
Speaker 1: to have to move closer to us if they want
Speaker 1: to have any say whatsoever.
Speaker 5: Well, and for the emptieth time of the media is
Speaker 5: just a far left freak show. I mean, nobody.
Speaker 1: Believes what they believe.
Speaker 5: Statistically speaking, Why are they still in business?
Speaker 1: Well, they're they're rapidly going out of business.
Speaker 6: Ah.
Speaker 5: One final thought on that, and this is so remarkable
Speaker 5: to me. I find no need to relitigate the election.
Speaker 5: But after the election they hold this event. I think
Speaker 5: it's at Georgetown again. I'll bet I could find it
Speaker 5: real quick. But where the heavyweight of the two candidates
Speaker 5: campaigns get together and they compare notes and they make
Speaker 5: jokes and they cast dispersions and that sort of thing.
Speaker 5: And it's most Americans are totally unaware of it. But
Speaker 5: if you're a Beltway freak, I mean, this is the
Speaker 5: super Bowl. It's crazy interesting if you're into campaigns. And
Speaker 5: Carl Rove just wrote a piece for The Wall Street
Speaker 5: Journal that at Today's at this year's autopsy, the higher
Speaker 5: ups in the Harris campaign were saying, we ran a
Speaker 5: flawless campaign. We hit all the notes. Wow, it was
Speaker 5: mostly misogyny and that sort of thing. And they were
Speaker 5: dead blank and serious.
Speaker 1: Good good, good luck, good luck with that, Good luck
Speaker 1: with thinking that's it, Good luck with ignoring this think
Speaker 1: tank who said you're way out of step with the
Speaker 1: mean American You're not even close. Go ahead and think
Speaker 1: it's misogyny, racism, please do. Okay, So it's Harvard.
Speaker 5: As it turns out, Kamala Harris's campaign of chief of staff,
Speaker 5: Sheila Knicks, jolted the conference Thursday night by boasting that
Speaker 5: Democrats ran a pretty flawless campaign. In quotes, Ms Harris
Speaker 5: did all the steps that were required to be successful,
Speaker 5: she claimed, we hit all the marks. This earned derision
Speaker 5: from Trump campaign co manager Chris Lsovita, as it should have.
Speaker 5: And then he gets on to the you know, well,
Speaker 5: the obvious problems with her campaign and the electorate not
Speaker 5: separating yourself from Biden. We don't need to go over
Speaker 5: that again. But it is just amazing to me the
Speaker 5: extent to which these people are are siloed and still
Speaker 5: clueless about what happened. And as you said, well, good.
Speaker 1: Katie brought us this headline last week. I came across
Speaker 1: it and read a little bit about it. I'd rather
Speaker 1: die hot than live ugly. Tanning mania returns oh It
Speaker 1: pointed out that at the Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence was ridiculously bronze.
Speaker 1: So is Bradley Cooper and one other actor just like
Speaker 1: crazy tan and so it is like, you know, like
Speaker 1: fashion comes in and out, being over the top. Ten
Speaker 1: is back. I guess I know a couple of people
Speaker 1: who are ten.
Speaker 7: Guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, huh. I might have to get tan soon.
Speaker 5: Every time I go to my dermatologist, I lose a
Speaker 5: knife fight. So I don't I don't think it's a
Speaker 5: great idea. I'm not going to get actual sunshine. That's
Speaker 5: what's surprising to me that it's people. One of the
Speaker 5: Kardashians posted something she's got a tanning bed in her office,
Speaker 5: so she regular that's horrible.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that, but uh, I'll let
Speaker 1: him spray me. I can look bronze like Bradley Cooper.
Speaker 1: Does that protect you at all? Or does it do nothing?
Speaker 5: Interesting question? I have no idea is there? Does it
Speaker 5: reflect U V A and UVB raised I don't know,
Speaker 5: because we all.
Speaker 1: Know if you're tan, you don't burn his as is
Speaker 1: when you're pale. Does that help if you spray tan?
Speaker 1: Or will you burn as if you were? Why does
Speaker 1: the sheet of paper, which is what I actually am.
Speaker 5: I once asked a dermatologist friend, which sunscreen do you recommend?
Speaker 5: And she said the one you reapply. Yeah, that's the key.
Speaker 5: It doesn't last all day anyway. Word to the wise. Oh,
Speaker 5: which reminds me delighted to be on the air in
Speaker 5: beautiful Vero Beach, Florida now on the mighty Vero Patriot Cool.
Speaker 1: So thanks very much for having us folks.
Speaker 5: As we often say, the shows a little different than
Speaker 5: a lot of talk radio. Give it a little while
Speaker 5: to get used to it, and if you still don't
Speaker 5: like it, give it a little longer.
Speaker 1: Right, anyway, you get you can adapt to anything, you
Speaker 1: can get used to anything. That's a good point. You
Speaker 1: keep a listening, it'll be all right.
Speaker 5: Last week we were talking about the fact that so
Speaker 5: many protests that end up on the evening news feature
Speaker 5: professional protesters, and we heard via email from a handful
Speaker 5: of folks who have friends and relatives who've done it,
Speaker 5: and yeah, they're unmailing lists and they're told, all right,
Speaker 5: get on this bus to Portland. Be there, we'll cover
Speaker 5: your travel expenses and blah blah blah and pay you,
Speaker 5: you know, fifty bucks a day for your trouble. And
Speaker 5: you got people who do this, which is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So you get there and then they hand you a
Speaker 1: big placard that says my body, my choice or something
Speaker 1: like that, and you stand outside a building. Yeah up
Speaker 1: with this or down with that.
Speaker 5: Frequently you don't even know what you're going to protest
Speaker 5: for against until you get there. And you know, you
Speaker 5: combine that with the fact that if you have people,
Speaker 5: if you have half a dozen people shouting angrily, the
Speaker 5: news media will come with a camera and push it
Speaker 5: as close as they have to so that that number
Speaker 5: of people, be it six or sixty, fill the frame,
Speaker 5: and as I often say, they'll have, you know, a
Speaker 5: couple of dozen people chanting angrily on the steps of
Speaker 5: the Supreme Court. There are five times that many sitting
Speaker 5: right now watching a high school basketball game somewhere, and
Speaker 5: nobody's covering that.
Speaker 1: So add this to that. This is in the Liberal
Speaker 1: LA Times.
Speaker 5: Paid protester company looking to hire seven foot three hundred
Speaker 5: pounds giants quote unquote for intimidation factor.
Speaker 1: A lot of seven three hundred pound people to hire.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I would say ask for a lot of money if
Speaker 5: you are one of the aforementioned behemoths. But Crowds on
Speaker 5: Demand is a Beverly Hills based company that provides quote
Speaker 5: incentivized activism.
Speaker 1: I love that for companies and.
Speaker 5: Groups looking to fill out events and demonstrations with totally real,
Speaker 5: totally paid activists. The company recently posted a job opening
Speaker 5: for people over seven feet tall and three hundred pounds, crowds.
Speaker 1: I could get to if I eate enough. I can't
Speaker 1: get a foot taller, though.
Speaker 5: So Crowds on Demand founder and CEO Adams Swartt says
Speaker 5: the gigantic protestors will mostly be used to turn heads
Speaker 5: for the corporate side of the business that provides crowds
Speaker 5: for new startups and product launches.
Speaker 1: That's a good way.
Speaker 5: It can't help or it can't hurt that it will
Speaker 5: be intimidating in a positive sense, he said.
Speaker 1: When is intimidating ever in a positive sense, well.
Speaker 5: He means attractive. It will attract attention. It's positively intimidating. No,
Speaker 5: it's a torture of the language. There are only seventy
Speaker 5: such adult men in the United States between the ages
Speaker 5: of twenty and forty, according to a recent Sports Illustrated article.
Speaker 1: Seventy Yeah, rough, Wow, that's not very many. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So if you're a giant and would like to stand
Speaker 5: around chanting what was that phrase?
Speaker 1: Again?
Speaker 5: I loved it so much and I forgot it incentivized activism,
Speaker 5: you know, call now.
Speaker 1: Quick question for you, What if you happen to miss
Speaker 1: this unbelievable radio program.

Speaker 8: Are people are not thrilled with the altoon of McDonald's
Speaker 8: employees who mickfingered him. Several nasty Google reviews have been
Speaker 8: left of the Altoona location, including they got rats behind
Speaker 8: the counter, do not recommend, while many other simply left
Speaker 8: one star reviews citing bad service and so called snitches.
Speaker 8: You know what they say, snitches get filet of fishes.
Speaker 1: Michael play thirty three and thirty four back to back
Speaker 1: for us would be so kind.
Speaker 9: Manjoni's case has become a cause, with admirers posting videos
Speaker 9: on Instagram. The social media profile gained hundreds of thousands
Speaker 9: of followers after his arrest, and the police department that
Speaker 9: arrested Manchoni has been threatened. His lawyer's office has been
Speaker 9: inundated with calls from people offering to pay his legal bills.
Speaker 1: It's not only in the digital world. We saw a
Speaker 1: lookalike contest in New York.
Speaker 10: People are selling things or we're selling things with Mangoni's
Speaker 10: image on.
Speaker 5: Etsy and with the whole denied delay defend or the
Speaker 5: deposed variation that this murderer came up with, and the
Speaker 5: response to it's been very, very odd and troubling, and
Speaker 5: you want to ask these people, all right, the CEOs
Speaker 5: of what other industries, and how many of them including women?
Speaker 5: How about minorities? Do they all get murdered if you
Speaker 5: don't like their company's polls? Oil companies perhaps, I don't know,
Speaker 5: tobacco carmakers, and nobody seems to have an answer for that.
Speaker 5: You know, it occurred to me Jack just now, as
Speaker 5: I was thinking about this, I wonder how much of
Speaker 5: this is that such a high percentage of our interactions
Speaker 5: with any human beings are third hand via the Internet,
Speaker 5: and so they don't seem like real human beings at all.
Speaker 5: You get a character on TV got gunned down, Oh
Speaker 5: I'm so in Manhattan. Absolutely, it's not a real human being.
Speaker 5: It's just a TV show.
Speaker 1: Well, and then if you combine the coin of the
Speaker 1: realm in twenty twenty four, for communication is just over
Speaker 1: the top. I mean, that's just the way we all
Speaker 1: talk now, at least online, that's the way people talk. Certainly,
Speaker 1: it's so over the top. Maybe those two things coming together,
Speaker 1: I mean, do people mean this as we As we've
Speaker 1: experienced before, we've had some situations with some really nasty
Speaker 1: textures emails who were violently threatened, and we turn it
Speaker 1: over to cops or investigators or something like that, and
Speaker 1: as soon as there's any pushback whatsoever there all I know,
Speaker 1: I don't mean you that I love the show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's amazing about face Michael. One more montage
Speaker 5: if you would clip number thirty eight. This is, you know,
Speaker 5: media and social media reactions.
Speaker 10: I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I
Speaker 10: think that's why I felt, along with so many other
Speaker 10: Americans joy unfortunately, you know, because seriously.
Speaker 1: I mean execution.
Speaker 10: Maybe not joy, but certainly not no, certainly not empathy.
Speaker 1: A reaction not of.
Speaker 7: Universal horror that a fifty year old father of two
Speaker 7: and husband was shot dead in public, but rather of.
Speaker 10: And I don't want to call it glee, but let's
Speaker 10: just say not unhappiness.
Speaker 7: Some of the comments were thoughts and deductibles to the family.
Speaker 7: One of the comments was, unfortunately, my condolences are out
Speaker 7: of network, and so I think it really.
Speaker 1: Isn't that something.
Speaker 7: I really think it's reflective about how people are feeling
Speaker 7: about their healthcare.
Speaker 1: Well, you are twisted. If you throughout the word joy,
Speaker 1: you're a sick human being. Yeah.
Speaker 5: That was Taylor Lorrain on Piers Morgan, and she is
Speaker 5: absolutely a sick human being. She is a twisted she's
Speaker 5: you know what, she is very much of cut from
Speaker 5: the same cloth as the killer.
Speaker 1: I don't see her killing anybody, But.
Speaker 5: She is the over educated progressive who is so one
Speaker 5: hundred percent convinced of her own rightness that she believes
Speaker 5: people can be hurt, silence, jailed, whatever if they dare
Speaker 5: disagree with her. Her her COVID record is unforgivable, especially
Speaker 5: because that big five hundred page report just came out
Speaker 5: and said that virtually everything they did with sher saying
Speaker 5: was wrong at the time was wrong, including the shutdowns
Speaker 5: and the stupid masks and the schools being closed, unforgivable.
Speaker 1: Even without getting into the complications of health insurance and
Speaker 1: the government's role and what would you replace it with
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. How could you possibly
Speaker 1: think that a society where you're okay with gunning people
Speaker 1: down that you disagree with would never work right? It
Speaker 1: would fall apart immediately. Hey, guess what, Taylor Lorenz, There's
Speaker 1: people who think you're bad, so.
Speaker 3: They'd gunn you down, You moron.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you not understand that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: You could.
Speaker 5: You could absolutely make a coherent argument that Taylor Lorenz
Speaker 5: was a prominent force in keeping kids out of schools,
Speaker 5: and a lot of those kids are either miserable, fallen behind,
Speaker 5: have psychological problems, or committed suicide. So you know, I
Speaker 5: would never make that argument because it's abhorrent, but it
Speaker 5: could be made that she is so evil dot dot
Speaker 5: dot if you live.
Speaker 1: In that society. Uh, you know, let's go ahead.
Speaker 5: She was on Piers Morgan and he was trying to
Speaker 5: like get coherent answers out of her, and.
Speaker 1: She's occurred to me a lot of that crowd probably uh,
Speaker 1: vehemently anti capital punishment.
Speaker 5: Also, oh yeah, yeah, good point, good point, but pro abortion,
Speaker 5: So give us forty you're gonna you've heard part of
Speaker 5: this already.
Speaker 10: I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I
Speaker 10: think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans,
Speaker 10: joy Unfortunately, you know, because it.
Speaker 1: Seriously, I mean execution.
Speaker 4: Should they will be killed, these healthcare executives. Would that
Speaker 4: make you even more joyful?
Speaker 1: I know that would not want And.
Speaker 10: Good question, I think, because yours, because it doesn't wouldn't
Speaker 10: fix the whole thing there is.
Speaker 1: I find your question, let's be murdered in the street.
Speaker 1: I don't find it funny. I don't. That's a very
Speaker 1: good question from Meerce Margan, who I generally find annoying.
Speaker 1: But that's a very good question. So if more were killed,
Speaker 1: would that make you more joyful? Well? No, of course not.
Speaker 1: Well why not.
Speaker 5: Come on, lay out your logic for me here? Why
Speaker 5: no one was shot, not killed, but just blinded. Now
Speaker 5: how joyful would that make? It?
Speaker 1: Kind of medium joyful? And you know, just because I
Speaker 1: thought of the capital punishment thing, i'd like to joy
Speaker 1: read with that order. How do you feel about I guarantee
Speaker 1: she's against capital punch of men. So people have been
Speaker 1: convicted of a heinous murder, gone through all the appeals
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. Put to death, wrong,
Speaker 1: random killing on the street because you don't agree with
Speaker 1: the policy. Correct. Okay, Now you explain to me how
Speaker 1: that makes sense in your worldview.
Speaker 5: And these people are our moral betters, by the way,
Speaker 5: they're constantly explaining to us what's right and what's wrong.
Speaker 5: One more clip of the utterly soulless, gutless, brainless Taylor
Speaker 5: Lorenz and Peers Morgan.
Speaker 10: Now, I want to.
Speaker 1: Fix the system.
Speaker 10: You're right, we shouldn't be going around shooting each other
Speaker 10: with vigilante justice. No, I think that it is a
Speaker 10: good thing that this murder has led to America. Really,
Speaker 10: the media elites and politicians in this country paying attention
Speaker 10: to this issue. For the first time, you mentioned you
Speaker 10: couldn't understand why somebody would feel this reaction when they
Speaker 10: watched a CEO die. It's because you have not dealt it.
Speaker 10: Sounds like with the American healthcare system in the way
Speaker 10: that millions of other Americans have.
Speaker 4: I've doubled the healthcare system in various ways in America.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's perfect by any means. But the
Speaker 4: idea that I would view it as something the idea
Speaker 4: that I would view it as something joyful that a
Speaker 4: man has been he's just a healthcare executive has been
Speaker 4: executed in the street, I find completely bizarre.
Speaker 10: Okay, so I don't say I'm joyful.
Speaker 1: I said, I said you would.
Speaker 4: You said you were feeling joyful.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I take that back. Joyful is the wrong word here,
Speaker 10: I said as I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think is the wrong wood.
Speaker 10: Yeah, indicated celebratory, because again, it feels like justice in
Speaker 10: this system when somebody responsible for the deaths of tens
Speaker 10: of thousands of Americans suffers the same fate as those
Speaker 10: tens of thousands of Americans he.
Speaker 1: Murdered that I never brought this up the other day.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should find it on my phone, So that
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of Americans, there's a number going around
Speaker 1: sixty eight thousand. It comes from a wacky study by
Speaker 1: wacky people that exaggerates all kinds of things, includes all
Speaker 1: kinds of things that don't fit in as often is
Speaker 1: the case wise damn lies and statistics. So that's where
Speaker 1: that argument comes from. Not that that would make any
Speaker 1: sense anyway, right.
Speaker 5: And then juxtaposing the healthcare CEO murder with the other
Speaker 5: big high profile guy who died story, and that would
Speaker 5: be the Penny Subway vigilante defending the innocent guy ends
Speaker 5: up dead. I'm not going to call it a murder
Speaker 5: like Al Sharpton and his folks are, but place forty two,
Speaker 5: This is on CNN.
Speaker 7: Penny and the verdict there there you also have a
Speaker 7: victim who somebody determined did not deserve.
Speaker 1: To continue living. No, no, no, yeah, tell me tell
Speaker 1: me which tell me which vigilante action is? Okay? Is
Speaker 1: one is being proactive?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 1: So this kid who executed someone executed a guy walking
Speaker 1: away from him, shot him in the back, shot him
Speaker 1: in the for no reason whatsoever. Daniel Penny, he's a.
Speaker 5: Heron panelists, and I wish i'd bother to get her name.
Speaker 5: Was trying to suggest that, Hey, they're both vigilantic killings,
Speaker 5: and you're saying one's right and one's wrong. Where do
Speaker 5: you get off precisely where I get off? And how
Speaker 5: I say that?
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, yeah, I tell you what.
Speaker 5: Every time CNN does some pretty good reporting, like Clarissa
Speaker 5: Ward's been terrific, for instance, they turn around and do
Speaker 5: something like that, and I think they should just be unplugged.
Speaker 5: But anyway, I yeah, just yank the court on CNN.
Speaker 5: They're losing money anyway, nobody watches it. They suck anyway. Uh,
Speaker 5: Jake Tapper would make a fine assistant manager of pet
Speaker 5: food stores. Wow, yeah, Joe Getty's hot and fire no
Speaker 5: even bombs, truth bombs right and left. We need to
Speaker 5: develop And I wonder if the kids have this already
Speaker 5: new vernacular for like that freaking moron Taylor Lorenz, who
Speaker 5: I've just just despised for years in a very inside
Speaker 5: media way. Most people have never heard of her, and good,
Speaker 5: your life is better for it. But do the kids
Speaker 5: already have an expression for you know, somebody says I
Speaker 5: think that guy ought to be shot? Do you really
Speaker 5: mean that? No, I Internet mean it. I just mean
Speaker 5: it on internet level.
Speaker 1: That guy should realize that guy should low key be shot, right. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the similar. Yeah. I don't know, but as
Speaker 1: you heard, they're drilled down a little bit. Those people
Speaker 1: seem to mean it. I don't know how many people
Speaker 1: online mean it, but those those panelists meant it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whether it was the joy or where do you draw
Speaker 1: the line between vigilante justice? What are you talking about?
Speaker 10: Ho?
Speaker 1: Stupid?
Speaker 9: Are you?
Speaker 1: These are apples and refrigerators as a come you know,
Speaker 1: as a comparison.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I think it probably all boils down
Speaker 5: to what's making so many of people miserable, including the kids,
Speaker 5: and that is that, in a very very very short
Speaker 5: span of time, we as human beings have gone from
Speaker 5: every single interaction is in person with a flesh and
Speaker 5: blood human being, with the rare exception of maybe you
Speaker 5: got a letter from somebody, to now ninety percent of
Speaker 5: your interactions are not in person with an air breathing
Speaker 5: Homo sapien. They're online, they're electronic, and therefore the killing
Speaker 5: of one of those human beings doesn't mean anything to you.
Speaker 5: They're an abstraction. They're not a human being. They're a
Speaker 5: video of a human being. Before we go to break,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to explain this. You either understand it
Speaker 5: or you don't. Did you hear that former Patriots coach
Speaker 5: Bill Belichick might take the job coaching at North Carolina.
Speaker 1: The joke is it's will help his girlfriend with admissions.
Speaker 1: She's youthful. Youthful, let us sin fifty year age gap
Speaker 1: in that relationship. He started dating cheerleader. He's in his
Speaker 1: mid seventies, she's in her mid twenties. He's a very
Speaker 1: young seventy five. Armstrong and Yetty. Quick question for you,

Speaker 11: My son was playing the drums at the high school
Speaker 11: basketball game the first time I've watched him do it
Speaker 11: at the basketball game, and I hadn't been in it
Speaker 11: banned situation drum line, so it's just all drums, but nice.
Speaker 11: First time I've been inside a small high school gym
Speaker 11: a game, with all that goes on with that in many,
Speaker 11: many decades.
Speaker 1: It hasn't changed a bit. Really. It was a lot
Speaker 1: more people staring at their phones than the last time I.
Speaker 1: Nobody was staring at some piece of equipment in their
Speaker 1: handback when the last time I was in a gym.
Speaker 1: But other than that, it was all the same. And
Speaker 1: I wish this weren't true. I know this makes me
Speaker 1: a crazy person, but I get just as uncomfortable. I
Speaker 1: was just as uncomfortable last night being in that gym
Speaker 1: as I was when I was in high school myself
Speaker 1: and all the dynamics of high school and everything that
Speaker 1: goes on with that and everything, and how much I
Speaker 1: hated it, and how how it just freaked me out.
Speaker 1: I feel exactly the same way now, And it's just
Speaker 1: it's it's some sort of PTSD, right. It's got to
Speaker 1: because obviously I don't need to know if the cool
Speaker 1: group thinks I'm got the right shoes on or anything.
Speaker 5: Now right, your shoes are by the way, we're all
Speaker 5: just commenting on what nice shoes you have.
Speaker 1: Whatever. The stupid moronic dynamics of high school are, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's absolutely anthropological.
Speaker 5: It's at the point that you're really becoming in charge
Speaker 5: of keeping your DNA alive. You take in data about
Speaker 5: what's a danger, what's good, what's bad, and it burns
Speaker 5: permanent pathways in your head so you don't have to
Speaker 5: be reminded of it again.
Speaker 1: Just to survive.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, I wouldn't call being in the same
Speaker 5: room with your your first love PTSDA good, But does
Speaker 5: that bring on a flood of emotion?
Speaker 1: That's a good loan, That's that's a pretty good. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's per charitable and pretty good. And it's
Speaker 1: so easy. I feel like the spot as I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there in the gym, I can say, Okay, there's the
Speaker 1: cool group they just walked in, look at the like
Speaker 1: the the water's part as they walked through, and everybody
Speaker 1: starre hated them a little, didn't you.
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't think I hated them. I don't
Speaker 1: think I ever hated them. I was scared of them,
Speaker 1: but I didn't hate them. Then there's there's the group
Speaker 1: that wants to be them but not quite is. And
Speaker 1: there's the outliers. They're kind of standing alone over there,
Speaker 1: and they wish they could be part of any group.
Speaker 3: And you can.
Speaker 5: You can just see all the dynam of high school
Speaker 5: just right there. You're freaking everyone out. This is making
Speaker 5: me really uncomfortable, which proves your point.
Speaker 1: Now's your chance, Jack.
Speaker 5: You see that cool group, you can tell them off,
Speaker 5: like you listen, you think you're so cool.
Speaker 6: See, I don't.
Speaker 1: I never, I don't. I didn't have that feeling. Then
Speaker 1: I don't have that feeling. Now tell them off for what?
Speaker 1: How dare you be attractive and have good personalities and
Speaker 1: good at something? How screw you?
Speaker 6: I mean, I didn't feel that way them. I don't
Speaker 6: feel that way. That's healthy, that's right. You gotta tear
Speaker 6: him down. Life is a zero some game. Their happiness
Speaker 6: is your unhappiness. Look at your DEI training. If they
Speaker 6: have something, it's because.
Speaker 1: They stole it. There's no such thing as merits. There's
Speaker 1: a certain amount of happiness to go around there. There
Speaker 1: there is a particular guy and girl that walked in
Speaker 1: high school guy and girl and he was a he
Speaker 1: looked like a like something from a TV show, and
Speaker 1: she was stunning. And it was just like the attention
Speaker 1: they got when they came over to the bleachers and
Speaker 1: kind of just sat wherever they wanted. Everybody moved out
Speaker 1: of the way. It's just something to see. What is
Speaker 1: it with human beings? I don't know. Do bears do
Speaker 1: the same thing.
Speaker 5: I mean, they're sitting there eating their berries or overturning
Speaker 5: trash cans or something. Then a really hot looking bear
Speaker 5: and her big bear mate come along.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, look at them. Yeah, he could be
Speaker 1: a movie star. You and they looked so comfortable and
Speaker 1: in charge of the world, like things could never be better.
Speaker 1: And then all the other people you could see the
Speaker 1: angst on their face. So not all of them, but
Speaker 1: certain groups of people. Is just like you know, looking
Speaker 1: around and trying to how should I walk, how should
Speaker 1: I sit? How should I whatever? You know that goes
Speaker 1: on when you're that age. Just oh my god. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't go through that again for any amount of money.
Speaker 5: Like observing a band of chimps in the forest lest
Speaker 5: poo chucking, Thank goodness, and I.
Speaker 1: Don't And one other thing before we got to get
Speaker 1: to Katie's headlines, I don't know. My brother was telling
Speaker 1: me about how like his daughter is a super stud
Speaker 1: of high school girls basketball player, and he said, girls
Speaker 1: basketball is so much better now than it was like
Speaker 1: when we were younger. It's a different thing, but so
Speaker 1: is the boys. I thought, this boy's high school team,
Speaker 1: I don't know if my high school team could score
Speaker 1: a basket on these guys. Has everything just gotten that
Speaker 1: much better because of youth sports or emphasis on sports
Speaker 1: or something? But yeah, more professionalized. Everything's more professional.
Speaker 5: Games are not to be played for fun, there to
Speaker 5: be excelled at to game of scholarship.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it. But it was a completely different level
Speaker 1: than the last time I was in a high school gym,
Speaker 1: which was a very very long time. It was in
Speaker 1: black and white.
