You 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.760 gotta do that with your fingers doing his head change? 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:01.840 All right? 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.520 The general manager is the winds of change. Okay, wait, 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.959 what does it struck be? Getting ready for the program today? 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:14.400 How many fairly significant tectonic plates are shifting, especially in 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.720 domestic politics, whether it be the much discussed and about 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.480 to be much discussed Supreme Court oral arguments yesterday about 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:26.720 gender bending, madness and mutilating children based on extremists bizarre experiments, 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.880 or the doge guys Yea Elon and Vivek are talking 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.280 about where they want to go, what they want to target, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.360 really intriguing, and I heard the point made that these guys, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.240 especially because they'll get a lot of attention, are refocusing 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.760 Americans on we pay them money the government and they're 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.400 supposed to do stuff. How much, what are they doing 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.840 with our money? How effective is it? 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.640 Why are they spending more than or taken in? 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.960 It could refocus us on the most fundamental aspects of 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.639 our relationship with the federal government, which I thought is great. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.400 Yeah, I've been thinking about this a lot. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.960 So the DOGE, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency, 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:12.120 being run by Elon Muskin Vivek meeting with congressional people today. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.720 You know what, We're a couple months before, a month 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.880 and a half before the administration even takes hold, but 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.520 they're already meeting with people and they seem to be 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.640 pretty serious. And like I said the other day, if 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:27.160 you follow Vivik's Twitter feed or Elon, they keep putting 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.440 out all kinds of things, Hey, here's a department that 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.560 does nothing as a building and nobody works in it, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:33.679 and then just stuff like that. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.480 I don't like people. 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.160 That are being critical of this because that's just the 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.200 minor percentage of I don't care. I mean, I understand 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.880 that you got to eventually get to the big stuff 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.919 to really make a difference. 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.120 But how think they will? 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.440 How about we just get a culture of wasting taxpayers' 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.919 money is really really bad. I would like that even 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.680 if one hundred freaking dollars undred percent you don't get 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:08.919 to do that. But did you see Mitt Romney's speech yesterday? 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:09.799 I did not. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.440 It's pretty good. I thinking about grabbing. It's kind of 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.800 long in the way that senators are, but it was 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.959 his final speech. He's leaving as a US senator, and 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.760 his political career is over, and he's an old man, 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.480 and he's you know, he's basically retiring from public life. 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.000 And the second half of his speech was about how 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.960 great it was to serve the great state of Utah. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.320 But the first half of the speech was his only 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.000 disappointment was that they didn't get any further in wrestling 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:43.040 with our debt and that and that, and he wishes 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.680 he could draw more attention in both parties to how 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.119 big a deal this is. And he said a couple 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.440 of things like, do you realize if we didn't have 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.080 this debt? And he threw out the number whatever it 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.120 is now, it's insane how much we're spending just on 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.800 the interest payments, Like if you've ever matched out a 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.760 credit card, you know what that's like, just the interest payments. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.360 He said, if we weren't paying off our debt. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.400 We could double the budget of the Pentagon, double it 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.720 and not even notice because that's how much money where 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.400 he's punny, he said. Or if you're not into that, 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.760 if that's not your thing, we could double Social Security payments, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.120 and then he listened to a whole bunch of other 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.760 you know, entitlement sort of things. 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:19.960 We could double them. 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.880 And have money left over if we opportunity has probably 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.960 been squandered at this point, right, So I'm just thinking 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:33.320 that from a strategic standpoint because the doge thing is 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:40.280 running up against the corporate media, mainstream media, you know, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.839 not liking anything that's a cut back in government. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.919 The way it's presented all the time, it really is, it's. 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.320 It's to look at it, you know, in a like 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.880 a scientific way. It is bizarre that any citizen of 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.479 any country would say, I am going to stand with 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.760 the government wasting and abusing the taxpayers because of some 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.880 vaguely felt opposition to the other side. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.000 Yeah, it seems to be into cutting the waste and abuse. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.719 So I am far wasted abuse. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.520 As an aside, on the walk from my car to 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.360 the building, I was reading about the Simpson Bowls Commission 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.400 back from twenty ten. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.400 Aren't I a fun guy? 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.839 And that was the biggest effort in our lifetime to 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.120 try to do something about our debt and our spending. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.000 And they put together, Barack Obama put together a commission, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.800 two highly respected senators who were out of office, so 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.080 they had, you know, no reason to politics. But all 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.080 the people that were that had to vote on it 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.320 were in office. Where's the problem. But anyway, they came 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.680 up with a combination of spending cuts and taxes that 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.320 was something for everyone to love and or hate. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.880 I mean, the tax stuff really were me the wrong way. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.279 The spending cuts part was awesome for a lot of 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.120 for half of america'd be the other way around. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.279 But that's what's going to have to happen at some point. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.760 And they put this thing together, and the way the 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.600 law was written, there were eighteen members of this commission, 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.200 and when they put it to the vote, it didn't 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.960 get the number of votes necessary to even get to 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.599 Congress to get voted on, because when it came to 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.400 an individual vote, a bunch of Republicans didn't want to 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.800 have their their hand in the air on a vote 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.560 having voted for a tax increase on anything, because they 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.080 would get booted out of office. And the Democrats couldn't 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.400 have their hand up in the air to vote for 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.719 anything that would be a you know, a cut in 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.039 an entitlement, or they would get booted out office. And 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.279 so it didn't get anywhere. And that's what's gonna happen. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.480 Went over you'll like this. It went over for like 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.880 a call for a prayer at a Diddy free call. 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.800 Wow. Wow, No, I feel like that was a lot. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.720 But what excuse me before we get all oiled up 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.680 and participate in this orgy with some unwilling members as well. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.760 Can we all join our hands now in prayer? 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:57.640 But so, what I was thinking about on the way 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.720 in here, because I want this to work, I really 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.680 want to work, and the only way it's gonna work 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.479 is if we're all all in it together. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:05.520 Or in agreement or something like that. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.080 And I was thinking about with one person that I 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.400 have parented, I'll just be vague about it, like that 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:15.040 who had as a youngster emotional difficulties and really really 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.280 difficult time making decisions, and somebody suggested to me, and 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.360 if I was a better parent, I would have figured 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.520 this out myself. But whenever we're trying to do anything, 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.200 always bring it down to two things. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.880 So do you want this or this? Because then he 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.120 could make a decision. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.760 But if it was just wide open, he just fall 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.240 apart and just to become a crisis and just everything 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.960 would go apets. But if you could get it down 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.240 to this or this, and I think we've got to 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:45.520 do that with this whole doge thing for everyone. Look, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.720 it's this or this. These are the two options. The 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.800 not doing it is not an option. It's this or this. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.800 And now, okay, on this one, it's this or this. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.480 It's the only way we're going to get through this. 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.440 If you realize you have to choose one of these 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:05.000 two things. Yes, absolutely, and one of the choices is 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:10.200 being chosen by not making the decision. I'm reminded of 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.600 the line by the genius Neil Peirtiff, you choose not 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.160 to decide, you've still made a choice. And as a 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.000 matter of fact, and this is a full blown segment 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.160 on this topic now, but we'll wrap it up in 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.600 a moment. France I know there's a lot of wacky 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:30.240 stuff going on geopolitically right now within government's South Korea's meltdown. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.000 France is having a serious political meltdown. And here's the reason. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.400 Their debt service. They're over spending. How many times have 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.520 we said we don't want to become France through socialism 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.240 and then have a moribund economy, over regulated, sapped by 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.360 government pensions and the rest of it. Well, France has 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.319 truly become France at this point. They have such a 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:56.440 fiscal nightmare on their hand. Any sane suggestion for how 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:01.559 to fix it is immediately shouted down. They lack the 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:06.760 discipline and character as a people to recognize what they 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.480 have wrought and do it's necessary to fix it. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.000 And we're close. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.320 We happen to have the de you know, the currency 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.800 of record for a mankind, which helps we can print 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.960 as much of it as we want. But even that 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.440 strategy is wearing thin now well with the bond markets. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:23.920 I won't bore you with the details. Or a guy 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.720 or a family that makes a lot of money, and 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.480 so you get yourself into credit card debt, but you 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.320 can just earn your way out of it and keep 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.800 up all the time, but you just keep spending more. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.360 At some point that ends. I think we just I 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.920 think it's just got to be presented psychologically, to the news, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:42.360 to the voter, to everyone, Okay, cut this or increase that, 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.400 cut this or increase that. Not an option of not 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.840 doing it. That's not on the table. I don't know 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.560 if we can get there. I'll given the incentives and 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:59.600 disincentives that politicians deal with. I am bitterly pessimistic. It's 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.320 going to be really interesting when Elon and Viveik present 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.079 this to the world. I just feel like the all 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.200 of the media is gonna be so lined up against them, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.040 just ideologically because they hate them, regardless of what they say. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.040 It's gonna be really a tough cell. It's frustrating. We 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.400 need and I wish Trump was this guy. I don't 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:18.920 think he is. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:25.320 We need a charismatic, persuasive ruler. Ruler Why did I 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:31.480 use that term leader who can communicate? Because communication skills 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.439 matter a lot. Is the president who can communicate how 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.880 dire the situation is in a way that activates people. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.360 It's a tough ask, though, because we have been trained 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.800 for decades to get I want more, you got to give. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.160 Me more to get my vote. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.560 And if you ask me for anything, including sanity, I'll 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.520 say you go to hell. You're trying to balance the 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.720 budget on the backs of the poor or whatever. Yeah, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.160 I guess to wrap up this conversation for now. It 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.720 doesn't help that both presidential candidates vowed to never cut 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.400 any entitlements. I mean, because you have to. I mean, 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.480 it just absolutely has to happen. So increase the age 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.360 or something. Anyway, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.200 He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday, December fifth, 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.200 the year twenty twenty four. We are armstrong in getting 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.160 we approve of this program. Let's begin officially. According to 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.600 FCC rules and regulations, here we go at mark. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.520 These are young people who may have known since they 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.360 were two years old exactly who they are, who suffered 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.760 for six seven years before they had any relief. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:37.320 There was the lady posing as a fella before the 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.800 Supreme Court arguing that two year olds know they want 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.800 to change their sex and if they reach age seven 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.000 having not changed their sex, they've been suffering. And that's 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.760 the tragedy. Why was an insane person allowed in the 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.920 Supreme Court. That's my question. Well, some of the justices 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.880 that made sense to based on the comments I saw, 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.840 and we'll place more of those a little bit later 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.160 in the Supreme Court yesterday. 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.679 They're wacky toodles and may they never hold a majority. Amen. 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.760 How does mailbag look? Oh? 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:12.720 It's full of dry and delicious humor. Boy uh, people, 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:17.240 I knew this was gonna happen. The hatred slash glee 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:22.240 about that insurance ceo getting murdered in New York. Yeah, 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.840 from the crazies. I knew that would happen. Anyway, We 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.640 got that on the way too. Here's our text line 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:33.199 four one two nine five KFTC. I'll tell you what 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.080 the general manager should have been. I didn't even want 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:42.520 to talk about it. Freaking bitcoin since election day could 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:46.200 have changed your life, my life if we had gotten 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.839 into bitcoin I did day of the election, knowing. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:49.440 What was going to happen. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.800 Damn it could have what a should have. Here's your 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:57.480 freedom loving quote of the day, oddly from Groutow Marx 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.240 set along by in Texas. 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:03.800 I love this. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.800 Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.800 diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.720 Remedies might be the might be what talk radio. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:19.640 Is also although uh with with politics, all of it 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.800 results in raiding the treasury to hand out money to 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.679 your cronies see previous The World Go Round see previous segment, 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.760 Yeah Yeah, no kidding? Mailbag dovers and would you mailbag 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.839 at Armstrong A giddy dot com jay dog in the 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.439 State of Jefferson rights new t shirt idea for you guys. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:44.360 GMOs equals bad, chemical castrations equals good. I love that. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.599 That's a good sarcasm. The progressives have no philosophy, only slogans. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.560 And then he signs off, Katie. He signs off with 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.560 keep up the fight boys and the assigned female at 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:55.360 birth boy too. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.480 There you go, well played boy. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.959 Speaking of dry humor, guys, your discussion of people whose 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.600 stories stay the same versus those who changed constantly, we're 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.800 talking about the irs, whistle blowers versus the Biden family. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.920 Reminded of a phrase Elizabeth Warren of all people once 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.800 said that we should all know and remember in terms 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.960 of the credulity of a consistent story compared to. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:21.520 A changing one. 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.960 In a storm, some menner the bran are branches clinging 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.800 to leaves and others are a trunk tied to its roots? 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.760 Is truth found in the wind or the earth? Now? 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.200 He writes paint with all the colors of the wind 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:43.040 and wow, reference of course to Elizabeth Warren's Native American 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:49.760 culture or background heritage. Let's see Jim from Kansas City, right, Jack, Joe, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.720 Jack is right on the peat hegxeth story. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:53.960 Joe is out to launch. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.400 Real issue is whether we're going to have a consistent 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.520 standard of behavior for our public servants and have so 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.120 what the standards to be? And he gives a couple 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:06.280 of examples, including Kamala Harris sleeping her way to the top. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.880 As he puts it, well, Katie Grimes puts it the 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.400 same way. It's well known anyway, if Democrats gave an 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:19.440 airborne fornication about extramarital affairs, Gavin Newsom would be on 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.360 the library board in San Francisco instead of governor of 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.360 the largest state. I fear you're right that this issue 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.280 will be mooted soon by Hegsath's withdrawal. I'm like Joe, however, 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.280 I'm just made by the withdrawal because it robs us 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.000 of the opportunity to. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.600 Highlight the blatant double standard here. 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.120 Once again, soft headed Republicans let the Democrats act as 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.320 judge and jury, then wonder why it's only their people 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.160 who get convicted. Then he says he really likes the show. Jim, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.720 I think that's an excellent point, and thanks for making it. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:45.800 I concede the point. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.160 Now, Hegseth is not going to borrow Lago today. That 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.880 doesn't seem like a good sign. No, He's got a 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.760 piece in the Wall Street Journal that is really really good. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.160 I mean it's an A plus defending himself and his 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.320 candidacy or his appointedment sey or whatever you call it. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.480 More on that to New York Times, says Trump is 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.760 pretty angry that Hegsath wasn't more forthcoming with the stuff 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.040 that was gonna come out, like just just a heads up, 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.200 you're probably gonna hear about this. Let's see, we have 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.200 a lot of thoughts on the transgender Supreme Court thing, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.480 Amani rights with the way the left leaning media, social 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:31.280 media giants, and Democrat politicians handled stories like alternative COVID theories, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.680 lab League, Russia Gate, evidence of Biden influenced pedaling, and 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.720 the Hunter Biden laptop I can't see why anyone would 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.080 think these people should be in charge of determining what 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:45.320 is fake news and disinformation. Then he asked, will Old 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.480 Joe pardon any more families in the final days for 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.880 financial crimes? Blah blah blah, an eleven year pardon for 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.120 anybody named Biden? Maybe not, maybe so. But the rumor 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.240 that's hanging heavy in the air right now is Biden 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:04.200 is gonna pre emptively pardon Fauci and Francis Collins and 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:09.960 all of the monstrous things Adam Schiff right, anybody Trump 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:14.359 could conceivably investigate who he is ever named, including the 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.040 monster Fauci, Biden is going to preemptively pardon, which we're 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.040 not exactly sure if that's a thing or not, so 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.520 that's got to be figured out by someone. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:23.960 Also, we have a lot to talk about. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:28.479 Stay here, arm Strong and Getty. How much have you 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.520 paid people to pull out customers who are in line 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.760 with a bag that's two centimeters too big because a 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.440 shorter Well. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.520 We recognize this as a hard job, and so therefore 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:40.840 we incentivize them to do that. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.560 How much it's ten dollars per bag? Wow? 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.040 Ten dollars per bag? I mean you guys, do appreciate 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.439 that flying on your airlines is a disaster, don't you. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.399 I'm slightly amazed by the general attitude of all of 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.800 you here. Flying on your airlines is horrible. It's terrible experience. 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.280 I mean, I say this as a father of three 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.400 young children, but I can't tell you nobody enjoys flying 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.280 on your airlines. It's a disaster. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.159 You know. Sometimes I go back and forth on this. 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.280 That's Josh Holly, Senator yelling at the people that run 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.679 the airlines. I go back and forth between absolutely loving 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.119 populism because of the way it makes me feel. Yeah, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.320 let's yell at the people that run the airlines and 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.119 just tell them it sucks and how populism is bad 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.119 and not a way to accomplish anything, and it's a 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.080 trans For some reason, I took great joy as also 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.199 a father, a father of two and the difficulties flying 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.760 just over the last week. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.400 Just haven't getting a chance, he yelled those people, saying 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.560 it sucks, it sucks. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.800 What is fatherhood a greater factor than just in terms 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.080 of your slepping kids around and they get searched and stuff, 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.159 or just just you know, the slepping through the airport 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.040 with the kids and all the stuff, and it's just 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.120 it's a pain in the ass and you're mad about it. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.159 And does you need to yell at someone about it? 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:02.520 I mean, that's populism and it's best great, feel better, super. 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:08.560 Is brilliant. I'm not offering a solution. I'm not even 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:10.000 saying there's any way. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.080 To do any better. And it's a free market, and 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.119 you know, you get to compete against each other. But 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:15.879 this makes me feel good. It sucks. 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:17.240 I forget hate this. 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:19.119 Wow. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.360 Wow, oh my god. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.400 I was watching the airport because my kids are older now. 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.119 I was watching people at the airport with the little kids. 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.639 That is a chore flying with small children. And I 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.080 was actually seeing somebody with the baby, and I was 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.240 thinking to myself, you think it's bad with the baby. 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:37.760 You know when it gets really hard when they get 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.320 out of diapers. You think it's harder the baby. It's 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.960 actually harder when they need to use the bathroom all 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:48.840 the time. Oh boy, the chance to yell at the 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:50.640 people that run all the airlines and just tell them 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.240 I hate this, it would be uh, I get it. Well, 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.879 Thank goodness, Jack, they don't have men's and women's bathrooms 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.600 on airplanes. Otherwise you'd have to go the bathroom determined 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.440 by your assigned sex at birth, gender something or other. 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:06.679 The Supreme Court. 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.119 You may have heard this, had a oral argument session 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.919 about a Tennessee law seeking to end the mutilation of 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.680 little children based on a radical gender theory held only 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.439 by lunatics. And we will talk about that at length 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.640 and play you some really interesting audio next hour as 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.680 a and let you know how it went down. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.200 It's looking good for sanity. Cool. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.840 So I will tell you this though, before we get 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:39.840 into it. Got this email from Aaron, frequent correspondent all 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.120 the gender cult conspirators, and he named several of them, 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:48.399 including J. B. Pritzker spokespeople, government sponsors, child butchers, and 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.480 all of the menglosurgeons should get the chair. Ride the 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.280 lightning straight to hell, you disgusting evil monsters. 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.800 Ride the lightning fairly strong. 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.720 Right. Here's the United States Senator Mike Lee on Twitter. 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.200 He retweets the audio that we played. 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:05.920 Well, you know what, I. 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:09.560 Tell you what just for chuckles, not chuckles, but our 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.520 enlightenment to where the heck is it? 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:13.400 We've got so. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:22.040 Much audio today.
