Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty, I'm Strong
Speaker 1: and Dead.
Speaker 2: Katie and he.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 1: Three weeks ago, Trump administration members, including Secretary of State
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, blasted Iran for seeking to monetize the waterway.
Speaker 4: No country has allowed to charge tolls or fees on
Speaker 4: an international waterway. I don't think we have anybody to
Speaker 4: convince around here in that regard. I think all the
Speaker 4: countries in this region would agree with us.
Speaker 1: Today, Ron's foreign minister, attempting to capture Irony, wrote the
Speaker 1: President of the United States is absolutely right, stating he
Speaker 1: agrees that a country guaranteeing safe passage deserves compensation, arguing
Speaker 1: Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and
Speaker 1: will remain so forever. Twenty percent is, of course too much.
Speaker 5: We will be fair snarkiness even among leaders were at
Speaker 5: war with I'll be darned Trump explaining here why we
Speaker 5: should do the toll thing there in the Strait.
Speaker 6: We're going to keep the straight and we'll probably run it,
Speaker 6: will become the guardian of the Strait. Maybe we'll go
Speaker 6: with the guardian angel of the Strait, and we should
Speaker 6: be reimbursed for that. We guarded it for nothing, and
Speaker 6: now we're going to guard it and we're going to
Speaker 6: get paid for guarding it a lot of money. But
Speaker 6: we just want to be reimbursed for doing all of this,
Speaker 6: for putting our people in danger. But we're really not
Speaker 6: putting people. We're really saving people.
Speaker 3: Twenty percent is a lot.
Speaker 5: Is classic Trump, where you throw out a really early,
Speaker 5: big number off the top of your head and go
Speaker 5: from there. I haven't come across anybody who thinks this
Speaker 5: toll will ever actually happen. If it did, it would
Speaker 5: be thirty million dollars for the really big ships to
Speaker 5: pay the toll to go through.
Speaker 3: That's a lot.
Speaker 5: But what would the collection mechanism be? And you know
Speaker 5: all kinds of different stuff there. Nobody seems to think
Speaker 5: that's actually good for everything happened to you, idiot, bo Please,
Speaker 5: it's well established.
Speaker 3: I doubt they take checks. You got a big wooden
Speaker 3: thing that comes down and the boat can't go through
Speaker 3: until you pay the toll. Exactly, you got the change bucket.
Speaker 3: The captain just leans over the rail of his boat
Speaker 3: and hurls the change down into the bucket.
Speaker 5: Here's Trump with more explanation of where we currently are
Speaker 5: in this whole thing.
Speaker 7: This is almost a military skirmish.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 7: With all of that being said, you have to get
Speaker 7: people that want it. Makes up that we had to
Speaker 7: deal with them two days ago and then they said, oh,
Speaker 7: we can't make that deal, we have to negotiate it further.
Speaker 7: And this is what they've done for forty seven years.
Speaker 7: The difference is nobody negotiated like I do. And this
Speaker 7: should have been done by Bush and Obama and Biden
Speaker 7: and people before them. Frankly, it's forty seven years. They've
Speaker 7: been ripping off everybody and really hurt again, killing thousands
Speaker 7: of people.
Speaker 3: So we have that as true.
Speaker 5: But now what right, So we haven't even talked about
Speaker 5: So I said yesterday. Trump should go on TV tonight
Speaker 5: and explain to the American people how Iran getting a
Speaker 5: nuclear weapon would be the worst day in world history,
Speaker 5: and nobody's been willing to stop it, as he just explained,
Speaker 5: and we're gonna stop it now and the price of
Speaker 5: gas is gonna go up for a while, we're gonna
Speaker 5: deal with it. He should make that, make that case.
Speaker 5: He should have made that case where the war started.
Speaker 5: But he should made that case yesterday, since the blockade
Speaker 5: is back on as of four o'clock this afternoon. When
Speaker 5: it was announced that Trump was gonna go on television
Speaker 5: Thursday evening, I thought, Okay, here he goes. He's gonna
Speaker 5: he's gonna explain to the American people why this is
Speaker 5: important and what we're about to do.
Speaker 3: Nope.
Speaker 5: Trump is going on TV Thursday night and has asked
Speaker 5: the networks for time because he has new evidence on
Speaker 5: how the twenty twenty election was stolen. Oh no, that's
Speaker 5: why he's going on TV. Oh boy, I hadn't heard that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: apparently there's some new information about how foreign country is
Speaker 5: probably Russia, intervened in the twenty twenty election and how
Speaker 5: it was stolen.
Speaker 3: So that's why he's going on TV. Not to deal
Speaker 3: with the war with Iran, to re energize the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty election was stolen debate, which why that makes any
Speaker 3: difference anymore? You you want a second term, fairly easily
Speaker 3: you could make the argument that weve got to root
Speaker 3: out any electoral frauds, certainly, but I mean there are
Speaker 3: ways to do that, you know. But the primetime address.
Speaker 5: Seriously, when I heard he was going to address the nation,
Speaker 5: I thought, Okay, here it comes. You know, we're about
Speaker 5: to do something, but we're going to take carg Islands.
Speaker 5: He's going to prepare the United States for casualties and
Speaker 5: gas being expensive for it.
Speaker 3: Certain that was the topic was I was absolutely certain of. Nope, nope,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty election stuff. I know, it's absolutely unbelievable. Here
Speaker 3: he is talking about a nuke fifty six place, Michael.
Speaker 7: If we'd involved, then they would have had a nuclear
Speaker 7: weapon long ago, one month, within one month the day
Speaker 7: we bombed them, they would have had If we didn't
Speaker 7: do it.
Speaker 6: They would have had a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 3: If they had a.
Speaker 7: Nuclear weapon, Israel would no longer be with us, and
Speaker 7: the Middle East probably would no longer be with us.
Speaker 7: So they sent missiles to five different countries that never
Speaker 7: even knew they were involved.
Speaker 3: Because they're stone called crazy, they are crazy. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: keep saying. Now, you keep saying that you don't seem.
Speaker 5: To actually believe that they're crazy, because you keep claiming
Speaker 5: that you made a deal with them. They've shown no
Speaker 5: willingness or interest in a deal whatsoever, but you keep
Speaker 5: pretending to yourself. I really am flummuxed by this whole thing.
Speaker 5: I can't wait to read years from now the history
Speaker 5: of it, when Marco Ruby or JD. Vance or whoever
Speaker 5: talks about what was going on behind the scenes, if
Speaker 5: it was the whole wishes being the father of your thoughts,
Speaker 5: or it'll be Maduro too. I get that in the beginning,
Speaker 5: and you can excuse him for thinking that they would
Speaker 5: be able.
Speaker 3: To pull that off. And you know, sometimes I'm not
Speaker 3: sure you can, no, but I'll hear you out. Well, okay,
Speaker 3: but that just makes you wrong. You're wrong. You thought
Speaker 3: you could do it and it turned out you couldn't.
Speaker 3: With a big strike and decapitate them and everything like that,
Speaker 3: You're wrong, and Joe's mine badly wrong.
Speaker 5: But after that, though, for the last however many months,
Speaker 5: when you keep talking about I'll never under I'll never
Speaker 5: understand Jade Vance should never be president because of that
Speaker 5: one quote.
Speaker 3: You know what it's cool. You know what's really cool
Speaker 3: is a revolutionary guard now realizes that being against the
Speaker 3: United States all these years is a bad idea. He's
Speaker 3: not a dumb guy. He's the last the last thing
Speaker 3: is is a dumb guy. Why in the world did
Speaker 3: he say that? Yeah, I know, I know it was ridiculous,
Speaker 3: and yeah, well I just again every single clip I
Speaker 3: respond to the same way. What now, Yeah they suck, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're crazy. Yeah they're religious fanatics. Yeah they're trying to
Speaker 3: get a nuke. Yeah, you knocked back their new program
Speaker 3: a long time. Yeah, their navy is at the bottom
Speaker 3: of the ocean. Yes, their defenses are decimated.
Speaker 6: Now what.
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like there are two options.
Speaker 5: You do the go full on war, open the straight
Speaker 5: militarily take the island, probably have to put boots on
Speaker 5: the ground, lose life, that sort of stuff. How long
Speaker 5: you'd have to hold that before you'd root out all
Speaker 5: the iro GC? I mean, would we be sending troops
Speaker 5: into interior Iran like we were doing in Afghanistan for
Speaker 5: a while, trying to root out the tally ban?
Speaker 3: I mean, what will we have a surge? Yeah? Yeah, great?
Speaker 5: Or the we shouldn't have lifted the blockade in the
Speaker 5: first time. Leave the blockade on, do it for a
Speaker 5: long time, choke them off until they run out of money,
Speaker 5: don't let them make any money. That was the Joe
Speaker 5: Getty policy is, you may recall, so the regime falls.
Speaker 5: Why the hell are you letting up the pressure? I
Speaker 5: says to myself, Well, I said, do you good folks
Speaker 5: at the time? Anyway, what's in the bank, what's in
Speaker 5: the back?
Speaker 3: What's cool? I'll tell you what's cool is they changed
Speaker 3: their mind. They've come around. That's why you let up
Speaker 3: the pressure. Why Michael?
Speaker 8: For forty seven years, this country has been a thorn
Speaker 8: in our side. It's been kind of a basket case
Speaker 8: for Democrat and Republican administrations. The coolest thing about the
Speaker 8: progress we've made over the last few weeks is that
Speaker 8: you see people within the Iranian system, senior leadership, even
Speaker 8: IRGC officials, say, you know what, we may have some animosity,
Speaker 8: we may have some mistrust, but we recognize the way
Speaker 8: that we've done business with the United States for forty
Speaker 8: seven years as a mistake.
Speaker 3: Let's try something else.
Speaker 8: We're going to verify that, of course, but we're certainly
Speaker 8: willing to try something else.
Speaker 3: If they comply, you've got to be getting And they
Speaker 3: didn't comply for twenty minutes. No, And I don't know
Speaker 3: why they didn't, because they had a really good deal.
Speaker 5: I don't know why they didn't just keep cashing the
Speaker 5: checks and working on getting a nuclear weapon behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: I don't know why they started bombing the ships, but yeah,
Speaker 3: So what's in the bag? What's inside your dogs food bag?
Speaker 3: Not the good nutrition they need necessarily, But you don't
Speaker 3: need to buy some crazy expensive new dog food. You
Speaker 3: just need to try rough Greens. Thousands of dog owners

Speaker 5: There is a Trump's gonna speak from the Oval Office soon,
Speaker 5: so we'll supposedly about the war, not the twenty twenty
Speaker 5: election or Trump watches. So I just saw up here.
Speaker 5: It reminded me of some biggest footwear mistake you're making
Speaker 5: in the gym. I don't know if I'm making a
Speaker 5: footwear mistake in the gym, but it reminded me. I
Speaker 5: think I may be making that very footwear mistake.
Speaker 3: Really, what is it. It's not wearing the death pants.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's wearing the Maxi patting running shoes. That's true. Out,
Speaker 3: that's true. I stopped doing that because it's just it's
Speaker 3: not great for some of the extracises as I do.
Speaker 3: You taught me too wobbly, you tip over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're going straightforward with various things, those those
Speaker 5: super tall running shoes are pretty cool. But man, if
Speaker 5: you need to do anything like brace yourself lifting weight
Speaker 5: or something, they're not the best, really not very good.
Speaker 5: But there's a new guy at the gym is so huge.
Speaker 5: He's among the hugest people I've ever seen in my life. Wow,
Speaker 5: I almost want to talk to him and say, what's
Speaker 5: it like? Being so huge and not in a He
Speaker 5: looks like the dad from the Incredibles. Do you remember
Speaker 5: that cartoon for kids movie? He's built like that guy,
Speaker 5: like it's it's cartoonish. He's so wide. I like, where
Speaker 5: do you get T shirts?
Speaker 3: Dude?
Speaker 5: And not he's not in a ripped sort of muscular
Speaker 5: like on a magazine sort of guy. He's definitely he
Speaker 5: looks like zero percent body fat.
Speaker 3: But he's just so wide.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine how miserable would be to go through life.
Speaker 5: There's no way he could sit in an airline seat.
Speaker 5: No way, he'd have to buy three seats.
Speaker 3: Right, So I'd love to see the guy so ticket
Speaker 3: clandestine picture that's not at all unethical or weird. He's
Speaker 3: gonna look pretty gay. Yeah, yeah, is that like the
Speaker 3: woman who just it's Tanner and well guys like this too,
Speaker 3: Tanner and Tanner and Tanner till they look like a
Speaker 3: catcher's mitt he can't see or it's like anorexia and referm.
Speaker 3: This guy looks like it's just the way he was
Speaker 3: built and also lifts weight it looks very natural. But
Speaker 3: he's so wide his shoulders must be I don't know
Speaker 3: how far that would be, four feet wide. It's it's
Speaker 3: maybe he's a robot of some sort. I don't know
Speaker 3: if he can even be a human. It could be.
Speaker 5: And then the amount of weight he lifts with the
Speaker 5: barb actually bending the bar bend. When I lift weight,
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I can't imagine what multiple of what
Speaker 5: I lift it would take to bend the bar.
Speaker 3: I can barely lift the bar. It's terrible.
Speaker 5: I hate when I have to move the bar when
Speaker 5: somebody's put the bar somewhere else and just carrying the bar.
Speaker 3: So wow, wow. You just give him a quarter and
Speaker 3: see if he can break it in half.
Speaker 5: There you go, see if he can tear a quarter
Speaker 5: in half. I've seen it done, sir, he can't do it.
Speaker 5: You are a wimp.
Speaker 3: I think I can outrun him. Surely he can't run
Speaker 3: very fast. I don't ask him. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 3: you might find out if you can outrun him after
Speaker 3: he catches you taking pictures of him.
Speaker 5: I did want to talk about the DSA, which is
Speaker 5: in the news a lot, maybe an hour for the
Speaker 5: Democratic Socialists of America Party. Jonah Goldberg had a great screen.
Speaker 5: He went on off on on Twitter last week. He's
Speaker 5: really worked up about this socialism stuff because he's written
Speaker 5: several books about capitalism and socialism being awful and all.
Speaker 3: That sort of stuff. Oh boy, speaking of lefties, the
Speaker 3: man with the world's worst voice is back in the news.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, great, I think it's legit to Actually, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I know some of your streaming. Don't do it. You start,
Speaker 3: I swear to God, I'll find you. The weird guy
Speaker 3: who brought.
Speaker 9: Us the vocal fry and the word I have a
Speaker 9: little offend that guy asked that guy.
Speaker 3: He's back at the dube stick. Stay tuned.
Speaker 4: California man recently said a Guinness World record by solving
Speaker 4: two rubixed cube puzzles while skydiving. The previous record was
Speaker 4: almost two. Didn't even get his name on Tuesday. They
Speaker 4: asked his family. They're like, you don't want to put
Speaker 4: his name on it. They're like, yeah, put dumb mother.
Speaker 5: They're like, we're not going to do that. They're like,
Speaker 5: then leave it. Black people in their stunts. I guess
Speaker 5: he gotta get the clicks, get the Instagram followers or something.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm too old to understand and the need I
Speaker 5: don't know. I just look it up at the TV.
Speaker 5: So Norway got beat by England in World Cup soccer
Speaker 5: and they returned home, and oh my god, even though
Speaker 5: they only made it to the final eight, one hundred
Speaker 5: thousand people turned out in the streets to watch them
Speaker 5: land at the airport and get off the plane. Fighter
Speaker 5: jets came and intercepted the plane and flew next to
Speaker 5: it as it landed, and then the striking Viking, Eric
Speaker 5: Hollin got off the plane carrying his stuffed raccoon that
Speaker 5: he bought at a Texas bootstore, which is funny.
Speaker 3: Crowd going wild. That's really fun, I guess because they
Speaker 3: don't have an NBA team, or you don't have other
Speaker 3: sports to cheer for. Whatever, and get into the Elite eight,
Speaker 3: it's a hell of an achievement. Oh yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 3: seem to be poop pooing it. I won't have it.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Should we be rooting for France against
Speaker 3: Spain today since it's bastile day? Go ahead if you
Speaker 3: want to.
Speaker 5: Hanson, our executive producer, believes there's been an uptick in
Speaker 5: attractive young teachers having sex with high school boys, which
Speaker 5: is a story that when did that first like erupts
Speaker 5: a thing? And then I remember us talking about it
Speaker 5: on the air decades ago, and theyn getting all kinds
Speaker 5: of emails. I was about to say text this is
Speaker 5: before texts existed, Emails from people say, yeah, it happened
Speaker 5: to mygh school. Just nobody talked about it. So it
Speaker 5: had been a thing apparently for maybe forever. It's just
Speaker 5: not something that made the news. Right, who's the attractive gallon?
Speaker 5: Was it Washington State who ended up marrying? I got
Speaker 5: married and stayed together a very long time. Yeah, kids, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: but it's it's almost always somebody very attractive, and it's
Speaker 5: some sort of reliving your high school popularity thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. So woman seeing her
Speaker 3: beauty vanish, desperately clinging to it her sexual power.
Speaker 5: Yeah, here's a substitute teacher who was going after a
Speaker 5: fourteen year old man. Seventeen's one thing, sixteen's one thing.
Speaker 5: Fourteen is really young. Anyway, she was sending naked snaps
Speaker 5: every time she showered. God, I want you so bad,
Speaker 5: she would say, gi Many, It's not fair. Something wrong
Speaker 5: with you, no kidding, Wow.
Speaker 3: This is new.
Speaker 5: Ukraine reportedly has struck one hundred and sixteen Russian vessels
Speaker 5: in the Sea of Azov over the past week and
Speaker 5: a half. Are the numbers that came out One Way
Speaker 5: attack drones. One hundred and sixteen Russian vessels.
Speaker 3: That's a lot between that and all the oil refineries
Speaker 3: and the fact that your lifespan as a Russian soldier
Speaker 3: when you hit the front is twenty minutes. Now, at
Speaker 3: some point, Putin's got to be thinking, is this a
Speaker 3: good idea? Should I keep doing this? And I don't
Speaker 3: mean to be inhumane comparing lives to money, but it
Speaker 3: reminds me of you know, the old saying, how'd you
Speaker 3: go broke? You know, a bit by bit then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, that's how you run out of guys.
Speaker 3: And you have to like institute a widespread draft and
Speaker 3: that will not go overwhelmed. Rush is in trouble. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we had a lot on the way.
Speaker 5: If you missed the segment at the podcast I'm Strong
Speaker 5: and Getty on demand I'm.
Speaker 3: Strong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Part of our thesis here is that people do not
Speaker 2: want their candidates grown invests. They want people who are
Speaker 2: real human beings, and they want people who do not
Speaker 2: look and sound like the background people who've been leading
Speaker 2: this country off a cliff for last century. And that
Speaker 2: was Graham.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, oh boy, you know I just misplaced. I
Speaker 3: think Nelly Bowles of the Free Press hilarious description of
Speaker 3: his voice. That is Daniel Moraff part of the brain
Speaker 3: trust that recruited rapee Nazi, fake oysterman Graham Platner to
Speaker 3: run for the Senate in Maine. And he almost got
Speaker 3: away with it too, if it weren't for you kids.
Speaker 3: But so Moraf is half of this brain trust with
Speaker 3: Morris Katz. And boy, the story on who these guys
Speaker 3: are is coming out now, and it's so interesting because
Speaker 3: it's so typical. Cats became a bonafide Beltway celebrity when
Speaker 3: he helped Mumdannie get elected, and then he recruited Platner
Speaker 3: with Moraf to run in Maine. Made a slickly produced
Speaker 3: launch video of the unemployed business owner cause playing his
Speaker 3: working class every man. The New York Times wrote of
Speaker 3: Cats like mister mcdonnie mister Katz as a child of
Speaker 3: the New York cultural elite, but is fluent in the
Speaker 3: anti elite language of progressive populism. Populism, he's twenty six
Speaker 3: and ready to fix the Democrat strategy twenty six. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so you know he's the rich kid who says he
Speaker 3: hates capitalism, functioning societies, and any opponents of terrorism. His
Speaker 3: great grandfather made a fortune in hosiery, according to The
Speaker 3: New York Times, Hey, you know what, I don't care
Speaker 3: what I make of fortune in hosiery, light bulbs, kalmanre whatever.
Speaker 3: His grandfather, Harry J. Katz, was a notorious libertine described
Speaker 3: as the playboy Prince of Darkness. With a multimillion dollar
Speaker 3: trust fund. He claims to have slept with four thousand
Speaker 3: women and ranny. Yes what this is the grandfather? Yes wow,
Speaker 3: and ran a vanity publication whose poetry editor would go
Speaker 3: on to be known as the Unicorn Killer after murdering
Speaker 3: his ex girlfriend in nineteen seventy seven. That's quite the
Speaker 3: family lineage. Yeah so the younger cats. Morris Cat's father,
Speaker 3: David Barkatz, is an award winning playwright best known for
Speaker 3: finding Philip Seymour Hoffman's dead body. How interesting that trajectory
Speaker 3: from super successful, driven businessman to purve to playwright to
Speaker 3: fake Marxist, well, real Marxist, yes, rich kid, all right,
Speaker 3: so that but basically accomplishing nothing. Yeah, exactly. Oh I'm
Speaker 3: sorry I almost left out Kat's mother, Julie Murrberg, who's
Speaker 3: a prolific author of left wing picture books for preschool
Speaker 3: aged children. Popular titles include My First Book of Feminism,
Speaker 3: My First Book of Feminism for Boys, Diversity is a Superpower,
Speaker 3: and No, my first book of protest. Oh God, a toddlers,
Speaker 3: I would hate you. You are a long day because
Speaker 3: you can't wait till these kids get to kindergarten to
Speaker 3: start indoctrinating them. The book includes a footnote explaining that
Speaker 3: Katz's publisher rejected the author's idea of using quote images
Speaker 3: of my penis instead of cartoon drawings. Oh that's cats. Himself,
Speaker 3: he tried to follow in his mother's footsteps by writing
Speaker 3: an illustrated guide to Puberty for a curious boys. That
Speaker 3: doesn't at all seem groomy to me, But that's cats.
Speaker 3: Let's make our way back to Daniel moraff.
Speaker 2: Who were grown in bats and had never done or
Speaker 2: said anything.
Speaker 5: Now, in contrast to how much of that is is is?
Speaker 5: You know you shouldn't make fun of somebody's voice. That's
Speaker 5: what they were born with. How much is that just
Speaker 5: the way he was born? And how much of that
Speaker 5: is an affectation? One hundred percent affectation you thinks?
Speaker 3: Please? Yeah, plainly do you would do that?
Speaker 2: Who were grown in bats and had never done or
Speaker 2: said anything?
Speaker 3: Come on, he just wants to be the ultra effeminate
Speaker 3: intellectual male, you know, barely male quote unquote. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: not the way I'm reading it. In contrast to his
Speaker 3: partner Cats, there is no contrast to Cats. Moraf is
Speaker 3: a left wing activist with the V degrees from Brown
Speaker 3: and Yale and is called a mad scientist who helped
Speaker 3: recruit Platner because he wanted Democrats to nominate quote real
Speaker 3: human being. Sure corner right. He's the grandson of the
Speaker 3: guy who founded the toy stores that became Toys r
Speaker 3: Us Wow, and served as the toy chain's first president. Wow. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: So did he get cooled the kid with the weird voice?
Speaker 3: Did he get fooled by whom?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 5: Because if he if his if his thing was we
Speaker 5: need to get real people, well were was he fooled?
Speaker 5: Because Platner's not a real oyster farmer. He whatever the
Speaker 5: hell that is that? Nobody'd ever heard that term in
Speaker 5: their life before he sold a few to his mom.
Speaker 5: I mean, so he's not a real person. Uh right?
Speaker 3: I think he just thought that he came across as one. Okay,
Speaker 3: well buy that. But oh here it is.
Speaker 10: I love this.
Speaker 3: This is actually uh uh, what's his? What's his? Andrew
Speaker 3: styles in the Washington Free Beacon. Given his pampered background,
Speaker 3: it's unclear what qualifies. More have to assess whether someone
Speaker 3: or not whether or not someone is a quote unquote
Speaker 3: real human being. There is also the glaring issue of
Speaker 3: his voice and a feat and a feat insufferable wine
Speaker 3: rarely encountered beyond the decidedly inhuman confines of elite graduate schools.
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be legal to sound like that.
Speaker 2: Who were grown in bats and had never done or said.
Speaker 3: Anything eighty one being mine wouldn't be legal to sound
Speaker 3: like that? Is pretty funny.
Speaker 2: I think if what the voters wanted were people who
Speaker 2: were grown in bats and had never done or said
Speaker 2: anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have
Speaker 2: a very different country.
Speaker 5: But so is this writer suggesting that lots of people
Speaker 5: sound like that in certain academic circles. Oh my god,
Speaker 5: I can't imagine sitting around and not saying, what is
Speaker 5: going on here?
Speaker 3: Why is everybody talking like this? I remember talking like
Speaker 3: what ages ago? One of them? I think it may
Speaker 3: have been me. It doesn't matter. Post a question on
Speaker 3: the air. Hey, gay guys, what is it with the lisping?
Speaker 3: I mean, lisping is literally a speech defect, and it
Speaker 3: has to do with the you know, your formation of
Speaker 3: your your tongue and your teeth or maybe you're hearing
Speaker 3: or you know whatever. Why did gay guys lisp like that?
Speaker 3: And we had gay guys say it's just a cultural norm.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a signal. It's fine. And this guy's
Speaker 3: cultural norm is air park lark. You barely is? He
Speaker 3: were a little testoster.
Speaker 2: I think if what the voters wanted were people who
Speaker 2: were grown in bats and had never done or said
Speaker 2: anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have
Speaker 2: a very different country.
Speaker 5: So you talk like a cartoon Porcupine's you decided to do?
Speaker 3: Morat reportedly like in Platner to Barack Obama in the
Speaker 3: early days of the campaign, didn't bother to subject the
Speaker 3: anidate to a normal vetting process in an levised decision
Speaker 3: in respect. Along with his business partner and fiance Leanne Fan,
Speaker 3: Moraf was convinced that Platner was a historic figure destined
Speaker 3: to lead a revolution, and The New York Times calumnist
Speaker 3: Matthew Iglesias praised Moraf as quote a new force in
Speaker 3: politics specializing in populist outsiders.
Speaker 5: Yeah, is it that hard to find somebody that is
Speaker 5: actually a working class person.
Speaker 3: Who believes what you believe that isn't a rapist? By
Speaker 3: the way, that would help. Oh, by the way, you know,
Speaker 3: I knew Nellie Bulls had said something about this that
Speaker 3: was worth mentioning. She absolutely has murdered the New York Times.
Speaker 3: The New York Times is now a zombie. It is
Speaker 3: dead because Nelly murdered them for the way they handled
Speaker 3: that rape accusation story.
Speaker 5: We talked about that a lot last week. Mark It
Speaker 5: was huge on that, Like, they need to answer for this.
Speaker 5: Why did they got the story? Is that CNN Jake
Speaker 5: Tapper was presented exactly the same information as The New
Speaker 5: York Times was. The New York Times decided to make
Speaker 5: it not a story you even remember happening, whereas CNN
Speaker 5: ended the guy's career political career with it with the
Speaker 5: same information.
Speaker 3: Right exactly, The New York Times that essentially caught and
Speaker 3: killed the story, as they say, well, we called it
Speaker 3: an inoculation story where they give you just a little
Speaker 3: dose of the truth, so you built up an immunity
Speaker 3: to it. Then the next time you hear it, you
Speaker 3: ignore it. But yeah, they buried the actual physical assault
Speaker 3: part as you guys were discussing, downplayed it completely. And
Speaker 3: you know, some of the victims said, look, I got
Speaker 3: corroborating sources. Here are their names, here are their numbers.
Speaker 3: They're willing to talk to. You never called them, they
Speaker 3: did not call them absolutely shameful. Well, I remember you
Speaker 3: counting the paragraphs at the time. I'm those twenty six
Speaker 3: paragraphs before they got to the most exciting thing they
Speaker 3: were even willing to reveal, and they didn't reveal the
Speaker 3: best stuff they had, right, right, And then Nelly goes
Speaker 3: on to talk about For instance, Jody Canter of hashtag
Speaker 3: Me Too Fame went on CNN to defend Platner and
Speaker 3: explained that what Platner did was not at all as
Speaker 3: bad as what Trump has done, and I quote the
Speaker 3: way my colleagues. Colleagues reported on them were not like
Speaker 3: classic abuse allegations. They're mostly like quote, being his boyfriend
Speaker 3: gave me a view into him, and I did not
Speaker 3: like what I saw. Quote. There was one allegation of
Speaker 3: crossing line physically, but I think that means that these
Speaker 3: are pretty different accusations than, say, the ones that President
Speaker 3: Trump faced. This is a hashtag me too leader who
Speaker 3: ignores rape because it's her side, Stephen King, who really
Speaker 3: needs to just shut up and write about unholy cars
Speaker 3: and killer clowns. So tell you what, if you knew
Speaker 3: the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House
Speaker 3: of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said,
Speaker 3: let him without sin cast the first stone, and Nelly writes,
Speaker 3: I'm out of touch with straight male behavior. So someone
Speaker 3: just level with me here. All men don't rape, right,
Speaker 3: that's a rare thing. Yes, yeah, Nelly, it is. It's
Speaker 3: extremely rare, and it's horrible. Wow wow, So.
Speaker 5: Worth there are things currently on that he got out.
Speaker 5: But so they're gonna have a quickie primary or something
Speaker 5: to try to choose somebody. Yeah, I think he's gonna
Speaker 5: disappear into the dust bin of history.
Speaker 3: It'd be my guess. Lon h Chin disagreed with me
Speaker 3: and thought he had some staying power. Nelly bowls right,
Speaker 3: So I'm not worried about Graham. He'll have a very
Speaker 3: successful second career on the podcast circuit. He'll re emerge
Speaker 3: suddenly with some new theories about who killed Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3: Congratulations to Graham Platner on your upcoming fortune. Wow, I
Speaker 3: hope that's not true. The tough talking oyster man a
Speaker 3: regular guy. Wow ah boy?
Speaker 5: How did the universe begin? That's our topic next segment.
Speaker 5: I came across this reading last night and then did
Speaker 5: a couple of questions to Grock and chat GPT. I
Speaker 5: found this stuff fascinating, just absolutely fascinating. Probably heard it before,
Speaker 5: but I'd forgotten it. So it was exciting a new
Speaker 5: about all kinds of things. So stay tuned for that. Also,
Speaker 5: can't wait to get an hour four. Jeneral Goldberg really
Speaker 5: went out after the DSA and the way the mainstream
Speaker 5: media treats that party, the Democratic Socialists of America, in
Speaker 5: a way that they would never treat a conservative group. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 5: for obvious reasons, but it's pretty interesting. So that'll be
Speaker 5: an hour for lots of stuff on the way.
Speaker 3: Stay here.
Speaker 10: I go buffer fast, I go buffer slow. In the
Speaker 10: buffer grass, in the buffer snow. I've got buffer bars,
Speaker 10: I've got buffer flow. I'm a buffer star. I'm a
Speaker 10: buffer bufflo. Buffalo.
Speaker 5: Lots of buffalo memes erupting for obviously reasons over the
Speaker 5: last couple of days. I like any of the ones
Speaker 5: where a buffalo is at a podium with a microphone.
Speaker 5: I'm not taking any more questions or you know that
Speaker 5: sort of thing.
Speaker 10: Missed that.
Speaker 3: I retweeted that you should look at our Twitter thing.
Speaker 3: There's lots of fun stuff. Okay, this is my favorite
Speaker 3: story of the day. I love the weights for written
Speaker 3: so dopey peanut butter is typically more of a pantry
Speaker 3: stable than an art supply, but eight hundred pounds of
Speaker 3: the creamy spread or the centerpiece of a museum installation
Speaker 3: that opened on Thursday in the Netherlands in honor of
Speaker 3: the artist whim Tea Shippers, who died last month at
Speaker 3: eighty three. So this famous Dutch artist dies and his
Speaker 3: lifelong dream had been what he called pindakos bloor or
Speaker 3: peanut butter floor, which is a big octagon. Can't remember
Speaker 3: what shape? Doesn't matter? With like a foot deep of
Speaker 3: peanut butter on the floor of the art gallery, three
Speaker 3: point two pounds per square foot, the smooth kind, not
Speaker 3: the chunky kind, must be spread as evenly as possible.
Speaker 3: According to the statement on the museum, you can follow
Speaker 3: the smell all the way from the atrium up to
Speaker 3: the exhibition in the third floor. He had dreamed since
Speaker 3: the sixties Jack of this peanut butter floor art, but
Speaker 3: hadn't managed to pull it off during his lifetime. What
Speaker 3: a load of crap, you know. I've really tried to
Speaker 3: be a wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait wait,
Speaker 3: said the museum director. It's both a parody of art
Speaker 3: and an invitation to think about art differently. All right,
Speaker 3: I talked about this a while back.
Speaker 5: I've tried to be way more open minded than I've
Speaker 5: ever been about abstract art. And I've watched a couple
Speaker 5: of videos about it with people explaining it, and I'm
Speaker 5: trying to and I went to the moment in San
Speaker 5: Francisco and looked at some art. But okay, so I'm
Speaker 5: willing to grant that some of it has some merit
Speaker 5: and maybe requires some talent. But man, there's a lot
Speaker 5: of it that is just crap and is just a ruse.
Speaker 5: I swear to God, I don't care if you if
Speaker 5: all it is is a big block of red and
Speaker 5: you say no, it demonstrates the simplicity of art. It's
Speaker 5: the opposite of the effort. Now that's just crap. Don't
Speaker 5: give me that it's just crap. Yeah, my floor a
Speaker 5: fine arts major by use of money. What's He seemed
Speaker 5: to enjoy it though.
Speaker 3: He took a perform orman's art class and explained to
Speaker 3: me some of the you know, performance art that the
Speaker 3: folks in the class had done, and some of it
Speaker 3: seemed utterly ridiculous to me, But some of it I thought, Wow, okay,
Speaker 3: I get that. That's okay, that is actually art. But
Speaker 3: this is my favorite sentence from the story. In one
Speaker 3: of the reasons I brought it up. Shippers the dead
Speaker 3: artist fellow who's buried just in the woods, unmarked grave
Speaker 3: by his friends at his request, which is interesting. Shippers
Speaker 3: was a beloved and eccentric cultural figure in the Netherlands,
Speaker 3: where he produced provocative television shows, wrote poetry, composed music,
Speaker 3: and once directed a play performed entirely by German shepherds.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'd pay a dollar to see that.
Speaker 3: You know, there was more barking than I expected. You know,
Speaker 3: it's oh my god.
Speaker 6: This link.
Speaker 3: Wow, hang on, that's on my computer. It's a it's
Speaker 3: a YouTube video of his quote unquote play Going to
Speaker 3: the Dogs is the title of it. Good Lord. This
Speaker 3: guy was a beloved figure in the Netherlands. You know
Speaker 3: why because of the American security umbrama that has covered
Speaker 3: Europe since World War Two and enabled them to put
Speaker 3: on German shepherd plays and smear peanut butter on the
Speaker 3: floors of their art galleries and call it art. I
Speaker 3: had tickets for the show front row seats on a
Speaker 3: Friday night, but it got canceled fleas Oh boy, he
Speaker 3: performed entirely.
Speaker 6: Come.
Speaker 5: I went the second night. It was open, but the
Speaker 5: lead actor had the cone on and it just was
Speaker 5: hard to enjoy.
Speaker 3: It was so distracted. I couldn't take him seriously as
Speaker 3: the romantic lead coat of shame. Oh my god.
Speaker 5: If you miss a segment of the show, get the
Speaker 5: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Got some interesting stuff
Speaker 5: for our four performance art No kidding a lot more
