Speaker 2 (00:56):
Us From Aleen Anonymous.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We're on our way home from school tonight and out
of nowhere, my twelve year old daughter says, do you
know why I'm worried about having kids racing myself for
some climate scare mongering or some other brand of crazy
that TikToker or teachers are pushing.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I responded, no.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Why, she says, I'm afraid they'll come home one day
and they'll tell me they're trans and I'll say, oh, no,
you're not, and then they'll hate me, and the school
will call me in and yell at me and tell
me I'm anti trans, and I'll say you damn right,
I am.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is a twelve year old.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
By the way, Wow, who has a very similar attitude
is my twelve year old? Isn't that interesting? So many
thoughts and emotions racing through my head. But in the
moment I couldn't ever stout laughing.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I told her, I hope it's bad that will have
passed by the time she has kids. I certainly think
it will. I wouldn't call it a fad kind of one.
It's a psychological contagion. There are a bunch of examples
of this through history.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
How interesting is that the kids like her kid and
my kid coming to this conclusion in the face of
everything around them other than like reality.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, yeah, this young woman, obviously, God bless her, has
the I am not going to tell you to ignore
the evidence of my eyes and ears and my conscience.
Good for her anyway, Who knows, maybe a little be
the kids of this generation, whatever they're called, who are
growing up rolling their eyes at the furries in their classrooms.
(02:22):
They're sick of having pronouns and gender issues shoved down
their throats. Who can see plainly and simply that the
trans and nine non binary kids are mainly just misfits
who are desperate for attention and belonging ding. Maybe today's
middle schoolers will be the ones to rebel with conservatism
and put a stop to the madness eventually.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
My son's always bringing up the furries. How does he
even know the word furries?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Brilliantly said an anonymous and good for your kid. You
are absolutely right on every single count. How's about this?
Greeting's Big Freedom's old simple Jack in America's Sweethearts Michael,
Katie and Hanson. Our fabulous son, who just happens to
be of mixed heritage, is about the same age as
Jack's oldest, and, like Jack, soon or a young man,
(03:07):
is starting the years of freshmen at a very nice
California public high school. We've driven our son to and
from school since kindergarten in order to be sure he
attends better than nearby local schools up with school choice,
let's see. Due to this and to and fro drive time,
our son also enjoys the statistically proven educational advantage of
(03:29):
listening to the Armstrong and Getty Show. Our son, who
naturally understands the meaning of such words as Marxist, woke, progressive,
and scumbag reported that his classes were pretty much chill
and relax He reported that week one, after reviewing the
class syllabus, he asked his chill I think, I can
(03:49):
you know I'm going to leave the subject even out,
But he asked his chill blank teacher, what does climate
change have to do with this topic? The teacher leaned
in and quietly told him nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They make us teach this stuff. Oh my god, wow. Wow.
The notable exception.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
To the mostly chill and relaxed teachers who would say
that to him was the wait for it, young white,
college educated female English teacher who has a giant Pride
flag hanging in her classroom. This has been our son's
English teacher's teachings. Week one read a novel about the
offensive nature of quote not seeing color. Next week, definition examples,
(04:30):
and how to react to microaggressions.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh man, then he.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Was to declare what genders he identifies as for that week. Boy,
the whole microaggressions thing has been so thoroughly debunked and
misproven that that or whatever the word is, that that's
the worst thing you can do is have people, you know,
focus on microaggressions. Finally, last week he was to declare
(04:57):
his to the class his pronouns. This is English class now.
He stood up and proudly declared that his pronouns were
HRH and HRM, his Royal Highness and his royal majesty.
He reports that the class erupted in laughter and cheers.
His English teacher, on the other hand, was not amused
and angrily announced that his declaration was quote not appropriate
(05:19):
for her English class.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Why aren't you reading Shakespeare or something?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh, let's see on brighter side. Substitute teacher came in
who'd taught for decades. When the gentleman asked the class
what they had last worked on and was told pronouns,
he declared to the class, I will be teaching English
and nothing else. Twitch The class of kids cheered wow.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
A and g s A y daat ang.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Saving America's utes one day at a time, Alnonymous.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
You know it's not unrelated to the Wall Street Journal
opinion piece we read earlier about how America isn't ignoring
the fact that World War.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Three is on the horizon.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They're not unrelated that we're so willingly like giving away
Western civilization or embarrassed by it. Of course, they're related.
There's why would there be a great need to protect
something that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You don't like?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, yeah, I remember years It just started years ago
when I think it. Harold Bloom, his last name is Bloom,
the world's greatest Shakespeare expert who taught at Yale for
years and years, and how he was so bothered by
the fact that nobody taught Shakespeare anymore so, the greatest
writer in the English language of all time was no
longer being taught in the universities, unless it was to
(06:48):
point out how misogynist or racist or you know, male
toxic it was, or anything like That was the only
time I'd ever come up if at all. Well, if
you're that willing to give away your culture, of course
you're not figuring out how to make sure China, Russia.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And Iran don't band together to win.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Right, right in the success that they have had coming
up primarily through education, the teachers, colleges, and then the
schools in indoctrinating several generations of American kids and Western
kids in general into this stuff. Admires the wrong word.
You've got to respect how incredibly evil and devious and
(07:29):
successful it has been, and we.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Let it happen under our watch.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I was reading Henry the Fifth and listening to it
at fair amount over the weekend because I was doing
this history podcast about the Battle of Asancore, which is
what is in Henry the Fifth. The Shakespeare thing, that's
the famous speech we band of Brothers, That whole speech
is from that. But man, the writing of Shakespeare. I
(08:00):
know this is a ridiculous thing for anyone to say,
but it's just so amazing. I mean, it's unimaginably rich
and amazing. And the fact that we don't teach it
in universities anymore will come on in China, we don't
care about our culture.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
No, I'm sure there are multiple really good books about this. Actually,
I can think of a couple that are more or
less on this topic. And I just bought a Douglas
Murray book, The Strange Death of Europe, I think is
the title. Can't wait to dig into that, probably tonight.
But how the civil rights movement followed fairly closely after
(08:41):
the development of the critical theory crowd in France and Germany,
and how they realized, oh, racial divisions and later sexual divisions,
that's where we convinced people to hate their own countries
and their own civilizations.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's not gonna be workers of the World unite.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's gonna be every single misfit or minority we can
think of.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
We'll come up with a way to convince them.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
That there's no redeeming their society and they've got to
help us tear it down. That's what we'll do. And
just for what it's worth, this is not my paranoid ratings.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
They wrote books with their names on the cover describing
this very process.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And they got it into the schools and universities. Again,
it's insidious, it's horrifying, it's heartbreaking, but it has been successful.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And as my twelve year old just finished reading Animal
Farm and picking up on the fact that the people
who promised, you know, a more fair world took over
and were the same tyrants as the tyrants before a
line from the Who song one of the best lines
ever in rock music. Meet the new boss same as
(09:56):
the old boss.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah so good. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And as I tweeted the other day, I untleashed a
long screed about elections and political theory and stuff like that.
I don't know why the urge just overcame me, but
I was describing how elegant the description in nineteen eighty
four is of the scam the Orwell book. Obviously, and
(10:20):
interestingly enough, Well I won't give you the context because
it's fairly straightforward.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
But.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
He explains how the time honored technique is. The middle
says to the low, we're talking about like layers of society.
The middle says to the low, we will overthrow the high.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You gotta join with us. We'll overthrow the high.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And the middle throws out the high and becomes the high,
and the low gets screwed see Black America. Since you
know the New Deal practically, since the welfare state came
into being and debased the black family and made them
dependent on the largesse of the government as opposed to
their own genius and hard work. Anyway, then the next
(11:13):
time around the old high, remember they're now the middle,
they make.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The same promise to the low.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Maybe they throw out the current high, maybe they don't,
but either way, it's a scam.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
History of the world, yep, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show, Jack
Armstrong and.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show. Back to Joe
and Burton's soul.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So I have a lot of worries about Trump character
wise and judgment wise, and a few geopolitically. But at
the same time time, Kamala Harris's policies are so ruinous,
so dangerous, and she's such an idiot it's it's difficult
(12:10):
to know. I mean, like in terms of geopolitics, national security,
it's impossible to know what the hell she has in mind.
She hasn't given a single clue. But when it comes
to free speech, pro the economy, pro business, lower regulation,
not sacrificing our economy on the altar of green, this,
(12:32):
that and the other. Oh, I mean, I think Trump
is well who was it? Who said was it? Bill
Barr said? Trump is Russian Roulette, Kamala Harris's national suicide.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I think that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The one thing that does worry me a little bit
about Trump, though, is he is, I think, partly for
ego reasons, utterly unable to do the hard thing now
to protect the future. Fiscally speaking, guy say now granted
on the campaign trail some of the things he proposed,
I mean, the campaign it's silly season, you claimed, you
(13:07):
promise all sorts of ridiculous crap that couldn't happen in
a thousand years. Oh yeah, even if you were sincere
about of Congress would never let you do it, even
if it was your own party.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I remember when I read Stephanopolis's book All Too Human
about the Clinton campaign. It's going way back, but nothing
has changed. Just he was talking in that book about
that because he ran Clinton's campaign. If you don't know that,
George Stephanopolis from ABC this week, he was talking about
all the things that you promised that you know you
aren't even going to try to do, and then the
(13:35):
things that you promised that you'll try but you don't
think you can do them, and then the things you
promised that you actually that's why you're running for president.
But there there's a list of things that you don't
even intend to, like have a meeting about.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You're not.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I mean, there's zero effort whatsoever that you're out there
nickname for those things.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I don't know, it's just a category.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I think they all they just all acknowledged, they all
probably know the thing is that they're talking about that. Oh,
nobody's even going to bring this up the next day.
We're not even gonna have a meeting on it, right, Yeah,
not interesting. Beautiful, that is interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
But in terms of being afraid of what this country
would look like, it's funny. The left is always talking
about how Trump is this, that and the other new
Hitler blah blah blah, threatening democracy, threatening democracy. You have
the left trying to tear down the Supreme Court, trying
to end the filibuster. Tim Walls was in cal Unicorney
the other day, suck it up to Gavin Newsom saying, Hey,
(14:32):
we need to end the electoral college. We need to
go to a popular election of the president. We need
to do this as soon as possible. That would bring
civil war to this country. So though I am uncomfortable
with Trump, it's to me he's clearly the right choice anyway.
Having said that, though, the one thing that bothers me
is that he has all sorts of policies that would
(14:52):
would be wildly inflationary, partly because of rampant spending. He
seems to have no hesitation to spend like a lunatic
in lower taxes, and that's dangerous. And I came across
this from Milton Friedman, who is always worth quoting.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Michael. It's clip number fourteen if you would.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The great Milton Friedman on inflation and all sorts of.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Stuff, Inflation is the most destructive disease known to modern societies.
There is nothing which will destroy a society so fairly
and so fully as.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Letting inflation run right.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Inflation doesn't arise because you got to consumers who are.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Spends s rift. They've always been spend script. It doesn't arise.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Because you've got the businessmen who are greedy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
They've always been greedy.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Inflation arises because we, as citizens have been asking you,
as politicians, to perform an impossible test.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We've been asking you to spend.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Somebody else's money on us, but not to spend our
money on anybody else. Everybody talks against inflation, but what
he means is that he wants the prices of the
things he sells to go up and the prices of
the things he buys to go down. The real tax
on the American people is not what.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You label taxes. It's total spending.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
If Congress spends fifty billion dollars more than it takes in,
if govern and spend fifty billion dolls who do you supoth
pay that fifty billion dollars? The Arab cheeks aren't paying it.
Santa Claus isn't playing it. The tooth fairy isn't paying it.
You and I, as taxpayers are paying it indirectly through
hidden taxation.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, that's one of my favorite quotes from him, and
something the man they should teach in school. The real
rate of taxation is the rate of spending because it
has to get paid for someday. So whatever way they
come up with a way to get money from you,
that that's the rate of taxation.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But with interest, Yeah, which is the insidious part, and
that sort of the need for the US to service
debt at the level we're accumulating, it will drive up
interest rates for all of us, so it will be
much more difficult to borrow money to buy houses, cars,
et cetera, for businesses to borrow money. And inflation is
(16:47):
a tax. They print money to give us a bucket
a quarter. With the services for a buck it devalues
the money we have. That's the hidden tax, and then
we got to hit it back with interest. It's it's
brutally horrifically unwise.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Nobody wants to hear this.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm done right, So this is not the stuff that
gets talked about during elections, certainly not the last month
of any presidential election at this point in our nation's history.

Armstrong, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
First this.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I've been meaning to talk about this for a while.
LA Times has a story about how the San Francisco
mayor's race is the hottest and many many years, San
Francisco tech workers are spending millions on the mayor's race
in San Francisco because they want the politics to be
more sent T's just less progressive. I bring this up
for the rest of the country. He doesn't live in
San Francisco to wint out that there must be a limit.
Apparently there's a limit for everybody. Yeah, how far how
(18:09):
crappy you can let your town get with liberal policies
before you'll decide to do something different. I was just
reading about this ad this activist dude who's got somehow
all sorts of political power because he has a bunch
of followers in San Francisco, who's so staunchly against quote
unquote gentrification that anything that improves anything he's against, that's
(18:30):
a weird and he gets his neighbors to go along
with it.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
That's a wild position. I'd say.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
We were talking earlier about we're in the last three
weeks of the election, and both sides are promising to
give people all kinds of things they can't actually give
them because so many people vote on who's going to
give me the most. Got this text, I don't vote
for who will give me something. I will vote for
who takes less from me. Yeah, that's the category I'm in.
But about half the country don't believe there's such thing
as that. I guess everything you learn really belongs to
(18:58):
the government, and it's up to the government and to
let you. They decide how much they'll let you have, right,
and they'll take the part that's important for all of society. Hey,
one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness, says Tim Walls, Right,
and those are the same people who think the government
gives you your rights. Yeah, the same principle on the
(19:19):
Starbucks thing with the bathroom. So Starbucks the communal sinks
that they now have because they took the bathrooms and
mirrors out of the or they took the sinks and
mirrors out of the bathrooms because homeless.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
People were washing themselves in there.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
So now you come out of the bathroom and there's
like a communal thing there out by where you get
your coffee, like you're at an outdoor rock concert or
something outside the porta potties exactly. So the Starbucks communal
sinks are still used to bathe right there in the open.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
On many occasions we've caught them.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Straight up nude in the bathroom hallway with half their
naked bodies literally in the sink. I've been in leadership
for Starbucks for over ten years in northern California, trust me.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And it's mostly junkie, of course it is.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And we put up with this in some parts of
the country, and lots of the parts of the country,
this doesn't happen. I live near Portland. I assure you
it's not fine. We will not go downtown unarmed. Always
carry everywhere here. Yeah, and miss kidding brother. I could
not believe what I was hearing out of the NPR. Dude,
and this text just to keep us level headed. This
show has hit the rocks. There you go, hit the
(20:24):
rocks doing poorly, Icey Yeah wow, played this yesterday, but
in case you didn't hear it, it's pretty good. Trump
is closing hard on the immigration argument way too much. Well,
they call it the immigration argument. It's a legal immigration
that really bothers people, or just unregulated immigration, even if
(20:45):
people end up being legal or decent people, with.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Just the idea of just randomly decided no policy whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
It's just, however, many millions of people decide to come
in and where they want to go is a nutty
way to run a country, whoever they are. And polling
show sixty percent of Americans now want to deport everybody.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Who's undocumented, which is an extraordinary thing. Right.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
So Trump's closing hard with the immigration argument. He was
in Aurora, Colorado the other day talking about the Venezuelan's
taken over the apartment complexes. But anyway, Martha Rattits pushed
back against his running mate Vance the other day and
this is how that went.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The Center advance.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happened.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I'm going to stop you.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment CONFLX
apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
have acted on those concerns a handful of problems.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken
over by Venezuelan gangs. And Donald Trump is the problem
and not Kamala Harris's open border.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I know it's not the Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment
complexes that are the problem.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's Donald Trump saying rude things.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I know in the modern world, especially in social media,
everybody's always owning everybody or destroying everybody or whatever right
that is an own though, that is a are you
freaking kidding me? You just said with your own mouth
that only a handful of apartment complexes in a suburb
have been taken over by violent Venezuela gangs, and you're
(22:23):
portraying that is okay.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Therefore I ought to shut up about it. Yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That was astounding.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That is the protected class speaking that is so crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
There are forty thousand illegals in Denver, not just I
don't know what the number of would be. That people are,
you know, moved here recently that don't speak the language
or all the other things that make it difficult to assimilate.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
But forty thousand illegals, right, which is a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Denver's a big city, but not big enough to observe
forty thousand illegals. And why should they a sanctuary city.
As you're about to hear from this woman who lived
in one of the apartment complexes that was briefly taken
over by Venezuelan gangs.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I was pushed out of my apartment by gang activity,
people carrying guns in the hallway and patrolling the.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Grounds with guns.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
She goes on, I feel like the immedia took my
videos at face value and didn't do any research of
their own, so they immediately said, oh, this can't be true,
or this is only a few apartments. How many is okay?
There were six people outside my door with guns. That's
not counting all the other ones they used to patrol
(23:38):
the property with guns. How many gangs is okay to
have in Aurora? How many properties is okay to take
over How many people who are citizens and is paying
their bills? Is it okay to displace good questions?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
For Martha Raddins, this is an important principle. The classes
in America are the protected class in the unprotected class.
Their protected class passes these policies or refuses to enforce
the law, for instance, and they are protected from the
repercussions of what they have done. The rest of us
(24:13):
who live in the real world are the unprotected class.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I first heard that spelled out that clearly by Tucker
Carlson years ago on this Fox show. Just Nancy Pelosi
and various other people who are for these sanctuary scenes,
they don't live in neighborhoods where anything.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Is changed at all at all.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
The music they hear, the food they eat, their schools,
their hospitals, nothing has changed. So it's very easy for
them to talk about, you know, the raising tide lifts
all boats and all kinds of different things about assimilation.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
And melting pot and everything. No melting pot going on.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
In their neighborhood. Nothing has changed at all, White rich people.
How many US Senators have kids in public schools? How
many congress people have kids in actual public schools. I
would like to know the numbers. It would be interesting
to bring in some of these people to a public
school and say, you see what the teacher's doing here,
because I have seen it.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The teacher is using Google Translate on their phone.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
So they they talk about whatever they just talked about,
how Columbus, you know, raped the country or something. Whatever
they're teaching in public school priorities. Yes, in the gender
bread person they say that in English and then they
use Google Translate for their phone and do it again,
doubling the amount of time it takes for the handful
of students.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That don't speak English. Do they do that in your school? Oh,
they don't do that in your school. I'll be darned.
Your super expen's in private school.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
They don't do that.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah it really sucks. Yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Can we play the Martha Writings thring to get you there,
just to hear that again her tone. It's unbelievable that
she has this tone about this topic.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
The center evans I'm going to stop you because I
know exactly what happens.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm going to stop you.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment conflicts,
apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
have acted on those concerns.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
A handful of problems.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
open border.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
And as I pointed out yesterday, the line from the
police chief, our dedicated officers have responded to the concerns.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Actually, I heard from who did they have on Fox
and Friends today?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Was it the police chief?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
It was somebody from law enforcement in Aurora, Colorado, talking
about there are forty thousand illegals in Denver and they're
now coming into Aurora and we can't handle it. We
can't handle the number of people. But Denver's a sanctuary city.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Imagine being so ideological that you approach the conversation and
the problem the way Martha Raddits did. When you have
law enforcement saying we're overwhelmed, you have school officials saying
we're overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
What's it like to live in that world?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Well, I think if I lived in a DC suburb
or wherever she lives, gated community that hasn't changed a
bit in the forty years I've lived there. You know,
I don't know what my point of view would be.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Well, for what it's worth, we decided a long time
ago that we were not going to attempt to infiltrate
and hobnob with the halls of power because it changes
you and the way you do this job.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And so we're delighted to be outsiders.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
And I heard somebody make the point. So you had
violent Venezuelan gangs attempt to take over a handful, just
a handful, apartment companies, just a handful. But what about
convenience stores, community centers, all kinds of different things.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You got trend de agua robbing people in New York
City now growing problems, sending teenagers out on the streets
to rob.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, it's a handful of New York cities.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
What So, if Trump wins, and right now it looks
like he's going to I remember Mark alpern Wright in
this a year ago about the immigration thing when it
was really at its height and at that point getting
no national attention, him saying, if Trump wins, this is
going to be why the dominant media's willingness to overlook
(28:22):
this topic.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Oh, And it's becoming more and more clear, to my
delight that the transgender lunacy is becoming a serious sleeper issue.
It's changing political races across the country because for the
millionth time, the way normal people perceive these issues is
so vastly different than the media's take on them. And
(28:46):
if you get too caught up in media, you start
to think, Wow, I must be an outlier.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You're not friends, You're not Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty
Armstrong and Getty Show, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So I was talking to a babysitter I was interviewing
yesterday and we got into this topic. This is not
anything we haven't discussed before, we haven't thought about. She
has a political science major, so we got into a
little bit of a conversation about that, and I just
was asking, do you think things will ever go back
to where this isn't everybody's life all the time following
politics constantly and pendulum or continuum that sort of stuff.
(29:29):
Kind of interesting, But I said, you know, you're you're
you're young, so you don't know this. But people didn't
used to talk about politics all the time. In fact,
we almost never talked about it. I said, you know,
when I none of my and I hadn't thought about
it because she's in college.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
All my friends in college, I don't have the slightest
idea what their politics were. Had the slightest idea never
came up.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I couldn't. I couldn't tell you now, people that I
hung out with all the time what their politics were.
All beer were our politics. And she looked at me
like I was crazy. She said, wow, I said, and girlfriends.
I'm thinking of all the girlfriends I had in college,
I don't have any idea what their politics were or
their parents.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And she said, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
She said, that's the first question you ask somebody when
you meet them, now, the first question. Wow, wow, And
we both couldn't believe each other's life experience around this.
I have no idea what any of my girlfriend's political
positions were.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Because we never discussed it. And who cares? And who cares?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I like it when you when we spay and spend
time together and talk, now one thing you do.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I love when you do that. But I don't care
whether you're republic my grand uh that's perverse.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It's absolutely perverse, and it speaks to a couple of a.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Handful of things. They can't be good.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Well, there are books written about this stuff, but it's
the omnipresence of government in our lives, in the decay
of our other social institutions that gave our lives meaning
and a sense of belongingness.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Right, And I was thinking, okay, so that's fine if
you're a lefty, and the first question is always you
know what a who do you vote for? What's your politics?
Because you can, you know, be out and proud and whoever.
The girl you're talking to, I'm thinking about myself as
a guy. The girl you're talking to is almost the
same as you, guaranteed. But what if you're not, you
(31:21):
either have to lie or not date anybody or have
any friends.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I guess that is correct, Yes, absolutely correct.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Yeah, wow, you know to that end, we don't have
much time, but I can squeeze this.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
In recent polling shows.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Married men are fifty nine to thirty nine Republican fifty
nine to thirty nine. Married women are fifty six to
forty two Republican. Unmarried men are fifty two forty five
Republican unmarried women are sixty eight thirty one Democrat. The
(31:57):
Democratic Party is has become the party of unmarried women,
and to some extent, either low te males or those
who are just so desperate to have a woman that
they pretend to be Democrats. I don't know, but that's shocking.
So Taylor Swift's endorsement, for instance, how could that be
(32:17):
a surprise to anyone that's like her entire constituency. Oh
and it's worth also mentioning The New York Post had
an interesting piece the other day pointing that over the
last eight years, especially the last eight years, women have
become much much more left wing than they were. So
(32:39):
it's not just that they're left, they're way more left.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
So this is an interview woman on the street.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
It's you could accuse us of not picking here of
where you just pick a random weirdo and then act
like it represents everybody. But I think this does represent
a fair number of people. This is in Oakland. This
is a woman who happens to be African American. I
think it's a germane to the discussion. Uh, And what's
(33:07):
absolutely one way.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I think it's a funny you should say Germaine the
day after Tito passed.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
That is funny Jackson five reference.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
There.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
This black woman feels like Target, who was getting a
robbed blind in Oakland and probably will end up closing
its doors the way Walgreens has and a whole bunch
of other businesses almost certainly was explaining why it was justified.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
And here she goes personally, I don't look at a crime.
If you're going into Target, a multi billion dollar company
and stealing clothes, it's not a crime.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Your resource not a crime. Hell no, it's your resourceful.
You're homeless.
Speaker 10 (33:40):
That's where we disagree.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I think you been you've been displaced. I mean because
you're white and I'm black.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
There's a whole nother socioeconomical piece.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
That I have never had access to.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
So you can go into any single place and put
your name on a piece of paper applied for that job.
You're not worried about if your name sounds too black.
You're not worried about if when you show up you
got to do something with your lock because inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Okay, So she is justifying the stealing lots of clothes,
for instance, from Target, and she goes on.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Target enslaved my ancestors a year ago? Are Target? What
a target?
Speaker 9 (34:13):
Do we really want to break down every single system
that has truly impoverished our community, enslaved us, taking money
from our families and then displaced us. As if now
we're the burdens of this entire city that was once
forty percent of black.
Speaker 10 (34:27):
UHM. But what a target do? And at what point
do we not uphold any values when we lead to
At what.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Point do we not uphold Target?
Speaker 9 (34:33):
So then give back all of their funds that they
can easily give back.
Speaker 10 (34:36):
But if we steal from Target, then we still from CBS.
Then we steal from Walmart, and then the Walmart's still
and then we have but we built it, don't know.
But then all we have our corner stores in Oakland
when we run out all these large businesses, right.
Speaker 9 (34:45):
Our corner stores are mom and pop's own, they're black
and brown own.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
We don't steal from our corner stores.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
But we could rock into Walmart's in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Okay, they're gone.
Speaker 10 (34:54):
Why are they gone? People stealing from Walmart?
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Why did Walmart come into an urban city already and
displaced thousands of black people in an area where we
needed housing first. Once we have housing, you can sustain
yourself from there on.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
In ball Mark, you cannot reason with these people. She's
actually a pretty good spokesperson for critical race theory and
in some of the allied theories. He's just there's no
winning in argument. She hasn't come at you to like
reach some sort of understanding or compare notes. Her words
are weapons, that's all. She just wants to tear down
(35:27):
the system.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
So how many of the people like going into a
target and robbing them blind probably will drive them out
of Oakland in the same way that Walmart was driven
out of Chicago. How many of the people going there
and Robin or are they just or is it just
as simple as what you can get stuff in there
and nobody's going to arrest you. I'm in It might
just be that there's.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
A lot of that.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
I'd ask her, Hey, sweetheart, how about the grocery stores
that have been driven out of all these neighborhoods, And
then everybody moans about a food desert and how that's
racist and the rest of it. They can do business
because y'all steal too much.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
We're on our way home from school tonight and out
of nowhere, my twelve year old daughter says, do you
know why I'm worried about having kids racing myself for
some climate scare mongering or some other brand of crazy
that TikToker or teachers are pushing.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I responded, no.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Why, she says, I'm afraid they'll come home one day
and they'll tell me they're trans and I'll say, oh, no,
you're not, and then they'll hate me, and the school
will call me in and yell at me and tell
me I'm anti trans, and I'll say you damn right,
I am.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is a twelve year old.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
By the way, Wow, who has a very similar attitude
is my twelve year old? Isn't that interesting? So many
thoughts and emotions racing through my head. But in the
moment I couldn't ever stout laughing.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I told her, I hope it's bad that will have
passed by the time she has kids. I certainly think
it will. I wouldn't call it a fad kind of one.
It's a psychological contagion. There are a bunch of examples
of this through history.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
How interesting is that the kids like her kid and
my kid coming to this conclusion in the face of
everything around them other than like reality.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, yeah, this young woman, obviously, God bless her, has
the I am not going to tell you to ignore
the evidence of my eyes and ears and my conscience.
Good for her anyway, Who knows, maybe a little be
the kids of this generation, whatever they're called, who are
growing up rolling their eyes at the furries in their classrooms.
(02:22):
They're sick of having pronouns and gender issues shoved down
their throats. Who can see plainly and simply that the
trans and nine non binary kids are mainly just misfits
who are desperate for attention and belonging ding. Maybe today's
middle schoolers will be the ones to rebel with conservatism
and put a stop to the madness eventually.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
My son's always bringing up the furries. How does he
even know the word furries?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Brilliantly said an anonymous and good for your kid. You
are absolutely right on every single count. How's about this?
Greeting's Big Freedom's old simple Jack in America's Sweethearts Michael,
Katie and Hanson. Our fabulous son, who just happens to
be of mixed heritage, is about the same age as
Jack's oldest, and, like Jack, soon or a young man,
(03:07):
is starting the years of freshmen at a very nice
California public high school. We've driven our son to and
from school since kindergarten in order to be sure he
attends better than nearby local schools up with school choice,
let's see. Due to this and to and fro drive time,
our son also enjoys the statistically proven educational advantage of
(03:29):
listening to the Armstrong and Getty Show. Our son, who
naturally understands the meaning of such words as Marxist, woke, progressive,
and scumbag reported that his classes were pretty much chill
and relax He reported that week one, after reviewing the
class syllabus, he asked his chill I think, I can
(03:49):
you know I'm going to leave the subject even out,
But he asked his chill blank teacher, what does climate
change have to do with this topic? The teacher leaned
in and quietly told him nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They make us teach this stuff. Oh my god, wow. Wow.
The notable exception.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
To the mostly chill and relaxed teachers who would say
that to him was the wait for it, young white,
college educated female English teacher who has a giant Pride
flag hanging in her classroom. This has been our son's
English teacher's teachings. Week one read a novel about the
offensive nature of quote not seeing color. Next week, definition examples,
(04:30):
and how to react to microaggressions.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh man, then he.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Was to declare what genders he identifies as for that week. Boy,
the whole microaggressions thing has been so thoroughly debunked and
misproven that that or whatever the word is, that that's
the worst thing you can do is have people, you know,
focus on microaggressions. Finally, last week he was to declare
(04:57):
his to the class his pronouns. This is English class now.
He stood up and proudly declared that his pronouns were
HRH and HRM, his Royal Highness and his royal majesty.
He reports that the class erupted in laughter and cheers.
His English teacher, on the other hand, was not amused
and angrily announced that his declaration was quote not appropriate
(05:19):
for her English class.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Why aren't you reading Shakespeare or something?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh, let's see on brighter side. Substitute teacher came in
who'd taught for decades. When the gentleman asked the class
what they had last worked on and was told pronouns,
he declared to the class, I will be teaching English
and nothing else. Twitch The class of kids cheered wow.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
A and g s A y daat ang.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Saving America's utes one day at a time, Alnonymous.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
You know it's not unrelated to the Wall Street Journal
opinion piece we read earlier about how America isn't ignoring
the fact that World War.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Three is on the horizon.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They're not unrelated that we're so willingly like giving away
Western civilization or embarrassed by it. Of course, they're related.
There's why would there be a great need to protect
something that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You don't like?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, yeah, I remember years It just started years ago
when I think it. Harold Bloom, his last name is Bloom,
the world's greatest Shakespeare expert who taught at Yale for
years and years, and how he was so bothered by
the fact that nobody taught Shakespeare anymore so, the greatest
writer in the English language of all time was no
longer being taught in the universities, unless it was to
(06:48):
point out how misogynist or racist or you know, male
toxic it was, or anything like That was the only
time I'd ever come up if at all. Well, if
you're that willing to give away your culture, of course
you're not figuring out how to make sure China, Russia.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And Iran don't band together to win.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Right, right in the success that they have had coming
up primarily through education, the teachers, colleges, and then the
schools in indoctrinating several generations of American kids and Western
kids in general into this stuff. Admires the wrong word.
You've got to respect how incredibly evil and devious and
(07:29):
successful it has been, and we.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Let it happen under our watch.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I was reading Henry the Fifth and listening to it
at fair amount over the weekend because I was doing
this history podcast about the Battle of Asancore, which is
what is in Henry the Fifth. The Shakespeare thing, that's
the famous speech we band of Brothers, That whole speech
is from that. But man, the writing of Shakespeare. I
(08:00):
know this is a ridiculous thing for anyone to say,
but it's just so amazing. I mean, it's unimaginably rich
and amazing. And the fact that we don't teach it
in universities anymore will come on in China, we don't
care about our culture.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
No, I'm sure there are multiple really good books about this. Actually,
I can think of a couple that are more or
less on this topic. And I just bought a Douglas
Murray book, The Strange Death of Europe, I think is
the title. Can't wait to dig into that, probably tonight.
But how the civil rights movement followed fairly closely after
(08:41):
the development of the critical theory crowd in France and Germany,
and how they realized, oh, racial divisions and later sexual divisions,
that's where we convinced people to hate their own countries
and their own civilizations.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's not gonna be workers of the World unite.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It's gonna be every single misfit or minority we can
think of.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
We'll come up with a way to convince them.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
That there's no redeeming their society and they've got to
help us tear it down. That's what we'll do. And
just for what it's worth, this is not my paranoid ratings.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
They wrote books with their names on the cover describing
this very process.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And they got it into the schools and universities. Again,
it's insidious, it's horrifying, it's heartbreaking, but it has been successful.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And as my twelve year old just finished reading Animal
Farm and picking up on the fact that the people
who promised, you know, a more fair world took over
and were the same tyrants as the tyrants before a
line from the Who song one of the best lines
ever in rock music. Meet the new boss same as
(09:56):
the old boss.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah so good. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And as I tweeted the other day, I untleashed a
long screed about elections and political theory and stuff like that.
I don't know why the urge just overcame me, but
I was describing how elegant the description in nineteen eighty
four is of the scam the Orwell book. Obviously, and
(10:20):
interestingly enough, Well I won't give you the context because
it's fairly straightforward.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
But.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
He explains how the time honored technique is. The middle
says to the low, we're talking about like layers of society.
The middle says to the low, we will overthrow the high.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You gotta join with us. We'll overthrow the high.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And the middle throws out the high and becomes the high,
and the low gets screwed see Black America. Since you
know the New Deal practically, since the welfare state came
into being and debased the black family and made them
dependent on the largesse of the government as opposed to
their own genius and hard work. Anyway, then the next
(11:13):
time around the old high, remember they're now the middle,
they make.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The same promise to the low.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Maybe they throw out the current high, maybe they don't,
but either way, it's a scam.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
History of the world, yep, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show, Jack
Armstrong and.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show. Back to Joe
and Burton's soul.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So I have a lot of worries about Trump character
wise and judgment wise, and a few geopolitically. But at
the same time time, Kamala Harris's policies are so ruinous,
so dangerous, and she's such an idiot it's it's difficult
(12:10):
to know. I mean, like in terms of geopolitics, national security,
it's impossible to know what the hell she has in mind.
She hasn't given a single clue. But when it comes
to free speech, pro the economy, pro business, lower regulation,
not sacrificing our economy on the altar of green, this,
(12:32):
that and the other. Oh, I mean, I think Trump
is well who was it? Who said was it? Bill
Barr said? Trump is Russian Roulette, Kamala Harris's national suicide.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I think that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The one thing that does worry me a little bit
about Trump, though, is he is, I think, partly for
ego reasons, utterly unable to do the hard thing now
to protect the future. Fiscally speaking, guy say now granted
on the campaign trail some of the things he proposed,
I mean, the campaign it's silly season, you claimed, you
(13:07):
promise all sorts of ridiculous crap that couldn't happen in
a thousand years. Oh yeah, even if you were sincere
about of Congress would never let you do it, even
if it was your own party.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I remember when I read Stephanopolis's book All Too Human
about the Clinton campaign. It's going way back, but nothing
has changed. Just he was talking in that book about
that because he ran Clinton's campaign. If you don't know that,
George Stephanopolis from ABC this week, he was talking about
all the things that you promised that you know you
aren't even going to try to do, and then the
(13:35):
things that you promised that you'll try but you don't
think you can do them, and then the things you
promised that you actually that's why you're running for president.
But there there's a list of things that you don't
even intend to, like have a meeting about.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You're not.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I mean, there's zero effort whatsoever that you're out there
nickname for those things.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I don't know, it's just a category.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I think they all they just all acknowledged, they all
probably know the thing is that they're talking about that. Oh,
nobody's even going to bring this up the next day.
We're not even gonna have a meeting on it, right, Yeah,
not interesting. Beautiful, that is interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
But in terms of being afraid of what this country
would look like, it's funny. The left is always talking
about how Trump is this, that and the other new
Hitler blah blah blah, threatening democracy, threatening democracy. You have
the left trying to tear down the Supreme Court, trying
to end the filibuster. Tim Walls was in cal Unicorney
the other day, suck it up to Gavin Newsom saying, Hey,
(14:32):
we need to end the electoral college. We need to
go to a popular election of the president. We need
to do this as soon as possible. That would bring
civil war to this country. So though I am uncomfortable
with Trump, it's to me he's clearly the right choice anyway.
Having said that, though, the one thing that bothers me
is that he has all sorts of policies that would
(14:52):
would be wildly inflationary, partly because of rampant spending. He
seems to have no hesitation to spend like a lunatic
in lower taxes, and that's dangerous. And I came across
this from Milton Friedman, who is always worth quoting.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Michael. It's clip number fourteen if you would.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The great Milton Friedman on inflation and all sorts of.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Stuff, Inflation is the most destructive disease known to modern societies.
There is nothing which will destroy a society so fairly
and so fully as.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Letting inflation run right.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Inflation doesn't arise because you got to consumers who are.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Spends s rift. They've always been spend script. It doesn't arise.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Because you've got the businessmen who are greedy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
They've always been greedy.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Inflation arises because we, as citizens have been asking you,
as politicians, to perform an impossible test.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We've been asking you to spend.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Somebody else's money on us, but not to spend our
money on anybody else. Everybody talks against inflation, but what
he means is that he wants the prices of the
things he sells to go up and the prices of
the things he buys to go down. The real tax
on the American people is not what.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You label taxes. It's total spending.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
If Congress spends fifty billion dollars more than it takes in,
if govern and spend fifty billion dolls who do you supoth
pay that fifty billion dollars? The Arab cheeks aren't paying it.
Santa Claus isn't playing it. The tooth fairy isn't paying it.
You and I, as taxpayers are paying it indirectly through
hidden taxation.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, that's one of my favorite quotes from him, and
something the man they should teach in school. The real
rate of taxation is the rate of spending because it
has to get paid for someday. So whatever way they
come up with a way to get money from you,
that that's the rate of taxation.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But with interest, Yeah, which is the insidious part, and
that sort of the need for the US to service
debt at the level we're accumulating, it will drive up
interest rates for all of us, so it will be
much more difficult to borrow money to buy houses, cars,
et cetera, for businesses to borrow money. And inflation is
(16:47):
a tax. They print money to give us a bucket
a quarter. With the services for a buck it devalues
the money we have. That's the hidden tax, and then
we got to hit it back with interest. It's it's
brutally horrifically unwise.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Nobody wants to hear this.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm done right, So this is not the stuff that
gets talked about during elections, certainly not the last month
of any presidential election at this point in our nation's history.

Armstrong, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
First this.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I've been meaning to talk about this for a while.
LA Times has a story about how the San Francisco
mayor's race is the hottest and many many years, San
Francisco tech workers are spending millions on the mayor's race
in San Francisco because they want the politics to be
more sent T's just less progressive. I bring this up
for the rest of the country. He doesn't live in
San Francisco to wint out that there must be a limit.
Apparently there's a limit for everybody. Yeah, how far how
(18:09):
crappy you can let your town get with liberal policies
before you'll decide to do something different. I was just
reading about this ad this activist dude who's got somehow
all sorts of political power because he has a bunch
of followers in San Francisco, who's so staunchly against quote
unquote gentrification that anything that improves anything he's against, that's
(18:30):
a weird and he gets his neighbors to go along
with it.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
That's a wild position. I'd say.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
We were talking earlier about we're in the last three
weeks of the election, and both sides are promising to
give people all kinds of things they can't actually give
them because so many people vote on who's going to
give me the most. Got this text, I don't vote
for who will give me something. I will vote for
who takes less from me. Yeah, that's the category I'm in.
But about half the country don't believe there's such thing
as that. I guess everything you learn really belongs to
(18:58):
the government, and it's up to the government and to
let you. They decide how much they'll let you have, right,
and they'll take the part that's important for all of society. Hey,
one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness, says Tim Walls, Right,
and those are the same people who think the government
gives you your rights. Yeah, the same principle on the
(19:19):
Starbucks thing with the bathroom. So Starbucks the communal sinks
that they now have because they took the bathrooms and
mirrors out of the or they took the sinks and
mirrors out of the bathrooms because homeless.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
People were washing themselves in there.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
So now you come out of the bathroom and there's
like a communal thing there out by where you get
your coffee, like you're at an outdoor rock concert or
something outside the porta potties exactly. So the Starbucks communal
sinks are still used to bathe right there in the open.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
On many occasions we've caught them.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Straight up nude in the bathroom hallway with half their
naked bodies literally in the sink. I've been in leadership
for Starbucks for over ten years in northern California, trust me.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And it's mostly junkie, of course it is.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And we put up with this in some parts of
the country, and lots of the parts of the country,
this doesn't happen. I live near Portland. I assure you
it's not fine. We will not go downtown unarmed. Always
carry everywhere here. Yeah, and miss kidding brother. I could
not believe what I was hearing out of the NPR. Dude,
and this text just to keep us level headed. This
show has hit the rocks. There you go, hit the
(20:24):
rocks doing poorly, Icey Yeah wow, played this yesterday, but
in case you didn't hear it, it's pretty good. Trump
is closing hard on the immigration argument way too much. Well,
they call it the immigration argument. It's a legal immigration
that really bothers people, or just unregulated immigration, even if
(20:45):
people end up being legal or decent people, with.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Just the idea of just randomly decided no policy whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
It's just, however, many millions of people decide to come
in and where they want to go is a nutty
way to run a country, whoever they are. And polling
show sixty percent of Americans now want to deport everybody.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Who's undocumented, which is an extraordinary thing. Right.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
So Trump's closing hard with the immigration argument. He was
in Aurora, Colorado the other day talking about the Venezuelan's
taken over the apartment complexes. But anyway, Martha Rattits pushed
back against his running mate Vance the other day and
this is how that went.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The Center advance.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happened.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I'm going to stop you.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment CONFLX
apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
have acted on those concerns a handful of problems.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken
over by Venezuelan gangs. And Donald Trump is the problem
and not Kamala Harris's open border.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I know it's not the Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment
complexes that are the problem.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's Donald Trump saying rude things.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I know in the modern world, especially in social media,
everybody's always owning everybody or destroying everybody or whatever right
that is an own though, that is a are you
freaking kidding me? You just said with your own mouth
that only a handful of apartment complexes in a suburb
have been taken over by violent Venezuela gangs, and you're
(22:23):
portraying that is okay.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Therefore I ought to shut up about it. Yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That was astounding.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That is the protected class speaking that is so crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
There are forty thousand illegals in Denver, not just I
don't know what the number of would be. That people are,
you know, moved here recently that don't speak the language
or all the other things that make it difficult to assimilate.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
But forty thousand illegals, right, which is a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Denver's a big city, but not big enough to observe
forty thousand illegals. And why should they a sanctuary city.
As you're about to hear from this woman who lived
in one of the apartment complexes that was briefly taken
over by Venezuelan gangs.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I was pushed out of my apartment by gang activity,
people carrying guns in the hallway and patrolling the.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Grounds with guns.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
She goes on, I feel like the immedia took my
videos at face value and didn't do any research of
their own, so they immediately said, oh, this can't be true,
or this is only a few apartments. How many is okay?
There were six people outside my door with guns. That's
not counting all the other ones they used to patrol
(23:38):
the property with guns. How many gangs is okay to
have in Aurora? How many properties is okay to take
over How many people who are citizens and is paying
their bills? Is it okay to displace good questions?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
For Martha Raddins, this is an important principle. The classes
in America are the protected class in the unprotected class.
Their protected class passes these policies or refuses to enforce
the law, for instance, and they are protected from the
repercussions of what they have done. The rest of us
(24:13):
who live in the real world are the unprotected class.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I first heard that spelled out that clearly by Tucker
Carlson years ago on this Fox show. Just Nancy Pelosi
and various other people who are for these sanctuary scenes,
they don't live in neighborhoods where anything.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Is changed at all at all.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
The music they hear, the food they eat, their schools,
their hospitals, nothing has changed. So it's very easy for
them to talk about, you know, the raising tide lifts
all boats and all kinds of different things about assimilation.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
And melting pot and everything. No melting pot going on.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
In their neighborhood. Nothing has changed at all, White rich people.
How many US Senators have kids in public schools? How
many congress people have kids in actual public schools. I
would like to know the numbers. It would be interesting
to bring in some of these people to a public
school and say, you see what the teacher's doing here,
because I have seen it.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The teacher is using Google Translate on their phone.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
So they they talk about whatever they just talked about,
how Columbus, you know, raped the country or something. Whatever
they're teaching in public school priorities. Yes, in the gender
bread person they say that in English and then they
use Google Translate for their phone and do it again,
doubling the amount of time it takes for the handful
of students.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That don't speak English. Do they do that in your school? Oh,
they don't do that in your school. I'll be darned.
Your super expen's in private school.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
They don't do that.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah it really sucks. Yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Can we play the Martha Writings thring to get you there,
just to hear that again her tone. It's unbelievable that
she has this tone about this topic.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
The center evans I'm going to stop you because I
know exactly what happens.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm going to stop you.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment conflicts,
apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
have acted on those concerns.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
A handful of problems.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
open border.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
And as I pointed out yesterday, the line from the
police chief, our dedicated officers have responded to the concerns.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Actually, I heard from who did they have on Fox
and Friends today?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Was it the police chief?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
It was somebody from law enforcement in Aurora, Colorado, talking
about there are forty thousand illegals in Denver and they're
now coming into Aurora and we can't handle it. We
can't handle the number of people. But Denver's a sanctuary city.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Imagine being so ideological that you approach the conversation and
the problem the way Martha Raddits did. When you have
law enforcement saying we're overwhelmed, you have school officials saying
we're overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
What's it like to live in that world?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Well, I think if I lived in a DC suburb
or wherever she lives, gated community that hasn't changed a
bit in the forty years I've lived there. You know,
I don't know what my point of view would be.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Well, for what it's worth, we decided a long time
ago that we were not going to attempt to infiltrate
and hobnob with the halls of power because it changes
you and the way you do this job.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And so we're delighted to be outsiders.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
And I heard somebody make the point. So you had
violent Venezuelan gangs attempt to take over a handful, just
a handful, apartment companies, just a handful. But what about
convenience stores, community centers, all kinds of different things.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You got trend de agua robbing people in New York
City now growing problems, sending teenagers out on the streets
to rob.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, it's a handful of New York cities.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
What So, if Trump wins, and right now it looks
like he's going to I remember Mark alpern Wright in
this a year ago about the immigration thing when it
was really at its height and at that point getting
no national attention, him saying, if Trump wins, this is
going to be why the dominant media's willingness to overlook
(28:22):
this topic.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Oh, And it's becoming more and more clear, to my
delight that the transgender lunacy is becoming a serious sleeper issue.
It's changing political races across the country because for the
millionth time, the way normal people perceive these issues is
so vastly different than the media's take on them. And
(28:46):
if you get too caught up in media, you start
to think, Wow, I must be an outlier.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You're not friends, You're not Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty
Armstrong and Getty Show, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So I was talking to a babysitter I was interviewing
yesterday and we got into this topic. This is not
anything we haven't discussed before, we haven't thought about. She
has a political science major, so we got into a
little bit of a conversation about that, and I just
was asking, do you think things will ever go back
to where this isn't everybody's life all the time following
politics constantly and pendulum or continuum that sort of stuff.
(29:29):
Kind of interesting, But I said, you know, you're you're
you're young, so you don't know this. But people didn't
used to talk about politics all the time. In fact,
we almost never talked about it. I said, you know,
when I none of my and I hadn't thought about
it because she's in college.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
All my friends in college, I don't have the slightest
idea what their politics were. Had the slightest idea never
came up.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I couldn't. I couldn't tell you now, people that I
hung out with all the time what their politics were.
All beer were our politics. And she looked at me
like I was crazy. She said, wow, I said, and girlfriends.
I'm thinking of all the girlfriends I had in college,
I don't have any idea what their politics were or
their parents.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And she said, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
She said, that's the first question you ask somebody when
you meet them, now, the first question. Wow, wow, And
we both couldn't believe each other's life experience around this.
I have no idea what any of my girlfriend's political
positions were.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Because we never discussed it. And who cares? And who cares?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I like it when you when we spay and spend
time together and talk, now one thing you do.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I love when you do that. But I don't care
whether you're republic my grand uh that's perverse.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It's absolutely perverse, and it speaks to a couple of a.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Handful of things. They can't be good.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Well, there are books written about this stuff, but it's
the omnipresence of government in our lives, in the decay
of our other social institutions that gave our lives meaning
and a sense of belongingness.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Right, And I was thinking, okay, so that's fine if
you're a lefty, and the first question is always you
know what a who do you vote for? What's your politics?
Because you can, you know, be out and proud and whoever.
The girl you're talking to, I'm thinking about myself as
a guy. The girl you're talking to is almost the
same as you, guaranteed. But what if you're not, you
(31:21):
either have to lie or not date anybody or have
any friends.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I guess that is correct, Yes, absolutely correct.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Yeah, wow, you know to that end, we don't have
much time, but I can squeeze this.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
In recent polling shows.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Married men are fifty nine to thirty nine Republican fifty
nine to thirty nine. Married women are fifty six to
forty two Republican. Unmarried men are fifty two forty five
Republican unmarried women are sixty eight thirty one Democrat. The
(31:57):
Democratic Party is has become the party of unmarried women,
and to some extent, either low te males or those
who are just so desperate to have a woman that
they pretend to be Democrats. I don't know, but that's shocking.
So Taylor Swift's endorsement, for instance, how could that be
(32:17):
a surprise to anyone that's like her entire constituency. Oh
and it's worth also mentioning The New York Post had
an interesting piece the other day pointing that over the
last eight years, especially the last eight years, women have
become much much more left wing than they were. So
(32:39):
it's not just that they're left, they're way more left.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
So this is an interview woman on the street.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
It's you could accuse us of not picking here of
where you just pick a random weirdo and then act
like it represents everybody. But I think this does represent
a fair number of people. This is in Oakland. This
is a woman who happens to be African American. I
think it's a germane to the discussion. Uh, And what's
(33:07):
absolutely one way.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I think it's a funny you should say Germaine the
day after Tito passed.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
That is funny Jackson five reference.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
There.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
This black woman feels like Target, who was getting a
robbed blind in Oakland and probably will end up closing
its doors the way Walgreens has and a whole bunch
of other businesses almost certainly was explaining why it was justified.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
And here she goes personally, I don't look at a crime.
If you're going into Target, a multi billion dollar company
and stealing clothes, it's not a crime.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Your resource not a crime. Hell no, it's your resourceful.
You're homeless.
Speaker 10 (33:40):
That's where we disagree.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I think you been you've been displaced. I mean because
you're white and I'm black.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
There's a whole nother socioeconomical piece.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
That I have never had access to.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
So you can go into any single place and put
your name on a piece of paper applied for that job.
You're not worried about if your name sounds too black.
You're not worried about if when you show up you
got to do something with your lock because inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Okay, So she is justifying the stealing lots of clothes,
for instance, from Target, and she goes on.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Target enslaved my ancestors a year ago? Are Target? What
a target?
Speaker 9 (34:13):
Do we really want to break down every single system
that has truly impoverished our community, enslaved us, taking money
from our families and then displaced us. As if now
we're the burdens of this entire city that was once
forty percent of black.
Speaker 10 (34:27):
UHM. But what a target do? And at what point
do we not uphold any values when we lead to
At what.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Point do we not uphold Target?
Speaker 9 (34:33):
So then give back all of their funds that they
can easily give back.
Speaker 10 (34:36):
But if we steal from Target, then we still from CBS.
Then we steal from Walmart, and then the Walmart's still
and then we have but we built it, don't know.
But then all we have our corner stores in Oakland
when we run out all these large businesses, right.
Speaker 9 (34:45):
Our corner stores are mom and pop's own, they're black
and brown own.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
We don't steal from our corner stores.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
But we could rock into Walmart's in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Okay, they're gone.
Speaker 10 (34:54):
Why are they gone? People stealing from Walmart?
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Why did Walmart come into an urban city already and
displaced thousands of black people in an area where we
needed housing first. Once we have housing, you can sustain
yourself from there on.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
In ball Mark, you cannot reason with these people. She's
actually a pretty good spokesperson for critical race theory and
in some of the allied theories. He's just there's no
winning in argument. She hasn't come at you to like
reach some sort of understanding or compare notes. Her words
are weapons, that's all. She just wants to tear down
(35:27):
the system.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
So how many of the people like going into a
target and robbing them blind probably will drive them out
of Oakland in the same way that Walmart was driven
out of Chicago. How many of the people going there
and Robin or are they just or is it just
as simple as what you can get stuff in there
and nobody's going to arrest you. I'm in It might
just be that there's.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
A lot of that.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
I'd ask her, Hey, sweetheart, how about the grocery stores
that have been driven out of all these neighborhoods, And
then everybody moans about a food desert and how that's
racist and the rest of it. They can do business
because y'all steal too much.
