Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Jack Katie and Key Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
There are senior aides inside the Biden White House who
are deliberating over whether there should be a more formalized
approach by the president to protect people with a preemptive pardon.
So it's that's something that's in the discussion phase right now.
A preemptive pardons to people that may be on Donald
Trump or his allies lists of people they dislike. That
(00:46):
would be a whole new world of the usage of
the presidential pardon. So a lot of typical implications there.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, I would say it'd be a whole new world.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And that came out originally from Jonathan Martin his reporting,
and it was confirmed yesterday by Peter Baker of The
New York Times. The White House is weighing blanket pardons
for Trump's perceived enemies. James Cliburn, the guy from South
Carolina who's the only reason Biden ever ended up being president,
(01:18):
is urging Biden to do it. I've seen Cash Bettel
saying who he's going after? So why should we not
believe them.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Well, if the justice system and a jury of their
peers find the guilty of the stuff that earned them
the dislike of Trump, well then they're guilty. To presume
that every single thing Donald Trump is unhappy about or
his people are happy about, is merely a creation of
(01:46):
their own insanity.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Where did you get that?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, let me present it as a lefty I would
I think, why wouldn't you say, let this is good news?
If I'm a Democrat, Let Trump and his Justice Department
bring crazy charges against innocent people and make you spend
all their political capital on that.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Go for it?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Is what I would say, is a Democrat, because they're
claiming it's all nuts.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, then what do you need the blanket partons for?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You know, I might respond that it's incredibly expensive and
disruptive merely to be accused of stuff and follow Yeah, such,
it'd be miserable enforcement, it'd be miserable.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But I mean, if they're they're talking about some journalists
to Okay, if you think it's just insane and it
would be pretty insane to go after journalists, uh that way, well, then.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
What are you worried about? Well, and come on just
and this is this is a minor point, because the
constitutional point is is all powerful here. But Trump spent
his entire twenty sixteen campaigns saying Hillary ought to go
to jail. Then the moment he got in the office,
he said, no, that would be too divisive and time consuming.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Act point Tilly, We're not going to do that. We're
gonna focus on the Yeah, excellent point. And if I'm
a Republican, I might say the same thing. And I
was just saying about the Democrats, Hey, go for it,
Joe Biden, go with the blanket pardons, and see what
that does for your party. I don't care about your legacy,
but see what that does for your party. The problem
is what it does to people's view of the Justice
(03:20):
Department and rule of law and cynicism towards politicians and everything.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, you know, as Peggy Noonan wrote, well, just quote
her as embarrassing as a citizen to see the president
of the US pardon his son in such an all
encompassing way for any legal transaggression going back nearly eleven years,
which feels like a concession to the assumption that is
more interesting law breaking or stretching may yet be unknown.
And then she goes into the fact that he promised
(03:46):
frequently and explicitly that he'd play it straight and let
the course of justice play out, which means he knew
it was important to people how they viewed him, so
he lied to reassure them all. This did what others
have said, lower trust and political leaders, made them more cynical,
I think, and that's absolutely true, and that was indefensible
that blanket pardoned for a period of many years.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's just sick.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But she made makes two points kind of indirectly and
directly that I thought were interesting. Number one and the
less important one is she says this pardon struck me
as a bitter action too. A president who cared about
public opinion, even that of his own party, would not
have done it or this way. It's a president flipping
the bird to an ungrateful nation that coldly turned on
(04:31):
him after a single debate and then elected that tramp,
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They deserve what they get. There might be some of that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
There also might be some Most of us don't know
what it's like to be on d's d death's door,
which Biden might feel like he actually is that although
where does the anger come from, Where does the whole
the justice department is corrupt thing come from? Again, there's
that's a completely different.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Emotion.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then I'm a dad and I can and save my son,
so I'm going to well And it's just bizarre given
the facts of the case. I mean, the hunter bragged
about the gun thing in his memoir, he confessed in
writing to the crime, so that one check and then
the tax stuff he got the opposite of unfairly harsh
(05:20):
treatment or unusually harsh treatment.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So again it was just factually nuts. It was useless politically,
I swear I smell the the unfortunate perfume of one doctor.
Fake doctor Jill Biden in the wording say one way,
excuse me, I sneeze. You should see doctors should give
(05:43):
you some Come on, here's the main point. Though all
of this has been great fun, but here is this
is the devastating point.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Cleary calendars.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Tell your kids to shut up, full over to the
side of the road, all right, Joe's about to launch
a truth ICBM.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
In your direction. The kids shut up in the same
way that I just moved. Here.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I'll illustrate this, Judy and I moved several years ago
from a house that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Had very little storage.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It's weird, like, didn't have enough closets, there's no attic whatever,
to a house that had just tremendous amounts of storage
in the attics and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Everybody knows this.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
The more storage space you have, the more crap you accumulated,
and everyone knows it, or.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Keep it least.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, George Carlin had a great bit on it yourself anyway,
right in the same way, in a similar way. And
I don't make to make don't mean to make light
of this, because again I'm going to level the city
of your illusions with my atomic weaponry of logic. And
here it is, let's face it, politicians in general, people
(06:57):
in general, they get away with they try to get
away with what they think they can get away with.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They push against the.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Constitution or just tear it to the extent that they
think they can. They loot the treasury, they abuse your rights.
They you know, at list every conceivable miscarriage of power
misuse of power that you can think of. Okay, if
I am operating in a world where it is routine
(07:28):
or even just possible that the head guy will pardon
me in advance for anything that I do. Don't you
think that really enlarges the palate of things I might do?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah? No kidding, Holy crap.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's like, you know to some superhero who you know,
what's the superhero dude who you can like shoot him
and he's a wisecracking guy and the it heals real quick.
You can break his arm and it heals wise crack,
and everybody loves him as violent but funny. Come on, Katie,
you're young and hip. What the hell am I think
it's dead? Where's a mask?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Deadpool?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Exactly if I was in a beauty Why are you
shaking your head like that? Because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
What you're supposed to know. I'll look into my superhero
rolodex there knowing. But seriously, if I, as a bureaucrat,
a government official, can commit virtually any sin against the
people or the constitution knowing that I will be preemptively pardoned,
(08:41):
because that's a thing. Now, Holy crap, let's hear what
Ari Fleischer said about these potential pardons.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
So I just think this whole thing is nuts. They
think that Donald Trump is going to come out and
get them. It just shows they haven't learned any of
the less sins that made them lose this election. They
still have Trump de arrangement syndrome as opposed to realizing
Donald Trump actually stands for a lot of common sense.
But it's also destructive. It's destructive because if they do it,
rest assured another Republican president will do it as well, right,
(09:15):
and then the pardon as established in the Constitution is demolished.
Now it becomes a tool for presidents of both parties
to in advance give out get out of jail free
cards to anybody and anybody on their list, even if
they didn't commit a crime.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
So here he's making the same point I did, without
the charming illustrations of attic Space and superheroes.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So the question I have is.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Most even lefties, think this pardoning his son was horrible,
mostly because Biden went out there and claimed five hundred times.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That he wasn't going to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well, people feel the same way about a blanket pardon
of Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff and was on the
list Anthony Fauci Or would they think that makes sense?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
See I don't because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
If they would react the same way as they're reacting
to Hunter, which most people think it's awful.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Good God.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Again, the lying in the hypocrisy is absolutely a legit
topic to be fired up about. It's the blanket nature
of any offenses for a given period of time that
is a horror. Right, that is the part we cannot accept. Well,
that's the people. Yeah, that's why I asked that it's articulately.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think there's a chance that a lot of Democrats
react with, well, he had to do that because Trump's
a hitler, and you've got to do this, and so
that will as you said, and NARRII Fleischer said, it's
just kind of it's going to rewrite the rules of pardons,
the Overton window of pardons, and establish that's what people
do now. And as you said, now all kinds of
(10:56):
friends of presidents will think I can do all kinds
of stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Right, it's the proverbial license to kill. You can give
all of your cronies a license for lawlessness with no
fear of retribution or repercussions. Again, that's the stuff of nightmares.
Never mind that the senile old mummy who's about to
leave us. Finally and let us get on with our
country is a lion hipocrite who cares it's the blanket anything.
(11:24):
They did think that it's Orwellian. I wish Orwell wasn't
quoted so much because it's lost some of its weight.
But this is a nightmare for a free people.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'll bet it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Doesn't happen because the reaction to the Hunter pardon has
been so bad.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, yeah, what was it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Five New York Times columnists the other day, in one
addition saying it was horrible. I'm thinking that the nose
will win the debate inside the White House.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
But the fact that they're having a vigorous debate over
this is.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Amazing, you know, And it's frustrating just as a per
who actually and I'm sure all of you share this,
who actually cares about this country and thinks it's an
incredible experiment.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
But you know, people based on a completely misplaced well no,
not completely. A lot of people had a misplaced perception
of the election being literally stolen by election officials in
Georgia or something. Did you see, by the way, where
Denish Desusa came out and apologized for two thousand mules saying, yeah,
a lot of that stuff I said wasn't true, and yeah,
(12:28):
the video wasn't what it claimed to be. It was
innocent stuff. And anyway, that was all wrong, and I'm sorry. Anyway,
the fact that you could get a fired up mob
to bust up the Capital over that stuff, and I
realized some of you are mad about other stuff. Let's
not get into it, but that nobody quite gets how
(12:49):
horrifying this pardon of Hunter is. In the aspect that
I've been drawning out and on about is frustrated. There
ought to be a crowd of five hundred thousand people
surrounding the White House right now, chanting no blanket pardons,
no blanket pardons, and hardly anybody's even talking about it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You got more on that later. Here's my favorite headline
from the New York Post today at seventy four, world's
oldest albatross hopes to become mom again and asks more
questions and it answers that headline. We've got more on
the way.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Stay with us. I was just on the phone with
my son.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
One of the really interesting things about raising kids, as
Joe knows, his kids are out of the house and
on into their lives, but watching your kids, especially now
that they're into the teenage years, go through some of
the first time this happened, experiences of being you know,
a human in the world.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And I just long story, I won't get into all
the details.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But my son overslept for something important and I had
I called him.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
He wasn't somewhere he was supposed to be. I called him.
He woke up. What time is it? And I told him?
He said, oh my god, you.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Know, just so, so that's the first time that has
happened in his life, and that whole feeling that he'll
have a hopefully few times, not a lot of times,
but throughout your life and just you know, all the
ramifications that come with it of dealing with the everything
it's funny part of life.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Well, it's yeah, And can you imagine if you removed
the all of the repercussions from that, right, the effect
that would have, Right, I don't know, it's self evident
to some of us the way life has to work.
But anyway, yeah, yeah, we've all done it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So what was that thing about Albatross's Oh and I
got jeez, I can't. I won't say who this is,
but another experience some teenager I know had in which
they were texting a lot and I said, hey, can
you put that down? And this teenager not my kids, said.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I can't. My girlfriend's met. I mean, I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Oh, point, son, you have become a man, I said,
I said to this person, not my son. No, I said,
this is going to happen a lot in your life.
Doesn't mean it's not important, right, but it is going
to happen a lot, yes, Katie. Now to which I say,
he knows, he knows what he did. Oh, I don't
(15:31):
know the woman you or you pretend to be part
of our team you're not.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Or of course the trump card of if he cared
about her, he would know.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
All oh lord, now you're killing me with this. It
reminds me of when my when one of my kids
had a teacher at the school that they thought was
an idiot. And I think they're at least half correct,
but they needed the good grade, and I told them
the skill of managing your relationship with an idiot who
(16:04):
you have to work with and getting a good result
is the most important thing you will learn from this class.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Kidding absolutely, talk about a life lesson.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Right, some this is going to be a painful exercise
you're going through, but you'll use that muscle again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
One another kid related, Are you looking at me, Joe?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
This is my son. So he's taking first year Spanish
in high school. You know, bueno. And but one of
the things he can do for extra credit that he
wants to get is go attend a Spanish mass.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So I guess we're gonna do that on Sunday. And
I thought I can understand a single.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Word, buy a condios and just sit there with people
asking me questions and me nod in my head and
smiling or talking slow and loudly in English.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I don't understand you. Thumbs up for Jesus whales. This
wal's this one of this? Yes sees one.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh, you know, I'll use all the Spanish ido Cabo
sam lucas to your gender bedning madness before the Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
More to come stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I got some great texts around the possible blanket pardon
of people who aren't his son. What happened to the
Any dad would do this? Any dad would pardon Adam Shift.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Shifts wouldn't pardon Adham Shift. He's a he's a garbage.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
More on that later. Sorry, that was disrespectful to garbage. Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
How about a gender bending madness update, A very special one.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It begins with mirth, ends with Supreme Court analysis. Let's
begin with a special guest gender beddening Madness updates. Contribution
from the geniuses at the Babylon B.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Fourteen.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
I'd like a tattoo of this really awesome Chinese symbol
that I saw.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
We're definitely gonna need your parents to come sign off
on that tattoo.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Why can't I do what I want? It's my body,
my choice, because you're fourteen, all right, tattoos are permanent.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You're gonna regret it one day.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Can I just buy some of those cigarettes?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
No way? Smoking is so bad?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
How about a beer?
Speaker 8 (18:28):
No, a fake pen? A lighter?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Not in this state?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Can I read a car bottled cough syrup?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
What do you drunk?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Fireworks?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You might blow yourself up?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
That Gruger GP one hundred and a box of thirty
eight specials you.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Might shoot your eye out.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I just I don't know. Like getting irreversible gender surgery?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No problem? Fuck get started right away?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Oh uh cool?
Speaker 8 (18:53):
I don't need my parents' permission.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Of course, not what if they're not a firm. Wow,
the fireworks really gotten me. Kid.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Can't buy a sixteen year old camp buy fireworks on
fourth of July, but you could get your penis lopped off.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah, or get powerful hormone treatments. So your gender betning
madness update proper. We mentioned this earlier. A bunch of
men pretending to be women and then activists and dudes
and whatever held a dance party in the women's bathroom
on Capitol Hill to protest banning men from women's bathrooms,
and anybody who's seen the video has signed up for
(19:31):
the Reality's Last Stand newsletter that's the conservative defending of
women's spaces and has become a fan of Riley Gains.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
They as usual these activists.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The more they do what they do, the more people realize, Oh,
that's crazy now that I take a look at it.
Another story for you. In Northern California, native has become
the first trans woman to men when Model of the
Year Sonoma Counties Alex Cansani, he's a dude. The first
Model of the Year at the Fashion Awards in London.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Of course, was but as the most attractive woman there.
And it's not a political virtue signaling at all.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
So once again women men are better at everything, including
being a woman. We'll just have to accept it. Oh yeah, yeah,
just ridiculous. Moving along, good news, the Ladies Professional Golf
Association has announced no, dudes, if you went through puberty
as a male, you're not playing women's golf because of
(20:33):
the obvious undeniable physical advantages you have over women. Well done, LPGA.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Nice job, and how much of a backlasher are they suffering.
I haven't even heard about it, so.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
They won't suffer much backlash at all?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, then why wouldn't more of these organizations have the
guts to stand up and do it.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Next LPGA tournament, to the extent that anyone pays very
much attention to it. I'm not belittling women's sports in
general bias. It's not nearly as big a deal as
men's golf. But anyway, there will be a protester or
two here and there. They might run onto the green
and then deface something or yell at something or chant
at somebody, and there will be outsized coverage of the
tiny handful of lunatics that thinks dudes ought to be
(21:19):
able to play women's golf. Disney has removed a children's
cartoon episode about transgender athletes in which a plucky transgender
girl it's a dude in a with long hair is
shown to be tough and brave and a groundbreaker and
(21:40):
participating in girls sports. That's funny. They've yanked that episode
elsewhere in children's entertainment. It's clip thirteen. Michael, this is
a dad watching his kid watch a Transformer's cartoon.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
When I'm with my friends or other non binary people,
binary people who walk female.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I shouldn't have help. Consolutely not. Tash Armer's earth Spark
on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Transformer streaming on Netflix a nice episode about a non
binary person explaining to their robot friend what non binary
is and how it's special and how they're only safe
among other non binary people.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
That guy said the same thing I said when my
kids were watching a Simpsons episode where they did an
up with Socialism song, like, absolutely not play that again, Michael,
It's good.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I don't safe when I'm with my friends or other
non binary people, nom binary people who walk female.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have help.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Consolutely not got you.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Trash Armer's Earthpark on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
How are you so out of touch that you don't
realize that almost your entire audience is going to react
negatively to that. Just from a commerce standpoint, he I mean,
we're in the business of having an audience and making
a living. Just from that standpoint, I would think you'd
stay away from that stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
You've come to believe Twitter is America and your activist
young employees represent the future, and they don't. They don't
at all. A couple more stories very quickly. We're working
our way up to just a little more Supreme Court
analysis of the oral arguments the other day. But are
you familiar with the l Leche League. It's existed for
many years. I think I'm pronouncing it correctly. It was
founded in the fifties by a couple of suburban moms
(23:37):
who realized they were doing something very rare at the time.
They were breastfeeding their babies at a time when the
hubris and idiocy of science. In the twenty twentieth century
this happened a lot. Announced that formula is much better
for your baby than breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is for poor people
and stupid people. And these two women are like that
can't possibly be true, and we think breastfeeding is important
(24:00):
and we want to make it easier for women and
understand and they know they're not alone. So this gal founded,
These gales founded this organization. Seventy years later, one of
their founders, ninety four year old what's her last name,
Marion Thompson, just quit the organization because it's gone woke
and is insisting on promoting men who desire to look
(24:25):
like women, taking lots and lots of hormones until they lactate,
and then having their babies eat that.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Ooh wow, is there any information out there about what
nutrients you get from a dude who lactates as a baby.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Well, precisely as she writes, she says, on such and
such a date, I resigned for such and such a board.
Blah blah blah, an organization that has become a travesty
of my original intent. From an organization with a specific
mission of supporting biological women who want to give their
baby just say women, to just say women. It's the
only kind of women there are who want to give
their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding them.
(25:06):
LL's focus has subtly shifted to include men who for
whatever reason, want to have the experience of breastfeeding despite
no careful, long term research on male actation and how
they may affect the baby.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Wow, that's horrible, I mean now, I mean, this is
like another level beyond other horrible stuff. You got a
tiny little baby that needs nutrients to survive and they
might not be getting any of it because who knows.
Oh my god, that's horrifying.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I read on this shift from following the norms of nature,
which is the core of mothering through breastfeeding, to indulging
the fantasies of adults is destroying our organization. She further
explained in an interview quote, there's no justification for experimentation
on newborn babies. No one knows the effects of the
multiple drugs and hormones used by these males on the
(25:54):
health of babies. There are no long term studies at all.
Of course, one of the drugs almost all well, yeah,
because this lunacy only reared its nutty head a few
years ago. Indeed, one of the drugs almost always used
to induce lactation, dom paradone, is actually banned in the
United States. How can we justify experimenting on babies? Who
cannot give any type of consent. How is this ethical?
(26:18):
God bless you, ma'am for doing that and writing that
and starting the league way back in the fifth. It
reminds me of wish more people were paying attention.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
It reminds me the Ricky Gervais joke a different issue,
same thing though, where he said, you know why there
aren't any rules about that because nobody thought we having.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Needed any.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Right exactly why are there no rules against people with
penises and women's sports because nobody thought it was necessary.
A little Supreme Court glance before we lay that to rest.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
To become one.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Ah okay, So back to the Supreme Court. A couple
of comments. There was so much madness in that hearing
the fact that it even occurred is a measure of
how far down the road to crazyville we've gotten that.
You know, the state of Tennessee could say there's no
scientific basis for this dangerous medical treatment you're laying on children,
(28:10):
how that you can't do this anymore? And then activists
say no, the Constitution says we can continue to experiment
on children.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's a decent point. And I made it all the
way to the Supreme Court. Yeah, yeah, gosh, dang it,
that's disturbing.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
But anyway, Judge Justice Alito asked whether transgender is an
immutable characteristic because under the fourteenth Amendment that the plaintiffs
were saying, you can't have unequal treatment. If a boy
can get hormones for you know, some sort of testicular
malfunction for instance, then a girl should be able to
get hormones to turn her into a boy. Otherwise that
(28:45):
sex discrimination because she's transgender. Well, Alito said, all right,
is transgender an immutable characteristic which means you can't possibly
change it? You can't like become a white guy tomorrow
if you're a black guy, you just can't.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
That's what immutable means. What about Michael Jackson, the.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Exception that proves the rule? He anyway, so strongio.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
The the the the.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Lawyer person person argued, Yeah, there is a strong biological
basis between sex and gender. Therefore it is immutable. In
the very next question, the next question, Alito asked about
gender fluidity and strongio. The transgender lawyer argued, the gender
identity is informed by an individual's understanding of their gender.
(29:37):
Therefore it is fluid, which is the opposite of immutable
right back to back questions.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Aw, that's interesting, I had missed that. But yeah, that
argument has been a problem all along, and this doctor
right now, I could born that way, and it's up
to me on it can change on a daily basis. Okay,
which is it exactly?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Well, here's the devastating point by this doctor. It should
not be lost on us that we live in a
time when the US Supreme Court is presented two arguments
back to back that are completely and undeniably in contradiction
with each other, while the arguing attorney has the ability
to carry on with full confidence lacking any awareness of
these glaring problems. Thus, we have some of the best
(30:21):
legal minds in the country hearing arguments from someone who
not only cannot identify her own contradictions, but does not
appear to comprehend the very concept of contradiction in the
first place. I guess this shouldn't be much of a surprise,
since the judicial bench is shared with another justice who
casually compares the risks of taking aspirin to the chronic
administration of deforming and sterilizing hormones. There are many questions
(30:44):
that will arise from the skurmeti case. But one that
I imagine we will be pondering for quite some time
is how we got to this situation in the first place.
And then let's see what time is it. We're running
kind of late. That's too bad. We've got some great
about this. You have time for this.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
We can do them, maxt I was going to do
a couple of texts.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
You want to do text mail, sure from some of
you who are smart slash funny. Got that on the way,
and a bunch of other stuff. Stay here, how y'all doing.
You realize that you got this weekend, two more weekends,
and then you got Christmas on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You realize that, right? Okay? Do I realize that? I
better realize that craziness.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
I was tempted to get into this great piece by
a legal expert on at least a half a dozen
false claims that were made during the governments, the federal
government and the transactivists side. What the hell the federal
government Joe Biden's federal government is arguing in favor of
mutilating kids lovely anyway, But there were many false false
(31:54):
claims that are easily debunked in front of the Supreme
Court about the safety of these drugs and the side
effects and their permanence and all sorts of stuff. Man,
if you're having to come to the Supreme Court with dishonesty,
it's because you don't have an honest case to make.
But why don't we go with some of the text
and emails instead? You want to lead with a text
or two.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Or no, no, no, do your stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Okay, let's see you got this from anonymous morning fellas.
I want to chime in on what the lawyer she
him at. Whatever they were said about children not having
the right to hormones due to sex discrimination, I couldn't
help but think as I listened to them speak, how
absurd it is to claim sex discrimination while simultaneously being
unable to define what a boy or a girl even is.
(32:35):
It goes back to the same question. If genitals don't
decide gender, then how does cutting them off a fermit?
The mental gymnastics are wild. How can these people be
so blinded by ideology that their arguments don't even hold
up within their own framework?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
That is the one that has really struck me in
recent days, is that idea that it doesn't matter if
I have boobs in of a I'm not a woman. Okay, well,
then why does removing them help you?
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Right? And I find, as the father of a couple
of beautiful daughters, the idea that a woman is just
a low testosterone male with a couple of nips and tucks.
That's what a woman is, my ass.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Anyway, let's see this gender madness. Note. You know, I
really like this because I think John represents so many
people guys. I have no personal experiments experience with this subject.
I don't know anyone who's dealing with this problem. I
personally think it's all a mental illness. I'm fifty four
years old. How do I not know anyone who's dealing
with this? Is it because I live in the Central
(33:37):
Valley of California. Both of my sons are mechanics. I'm
a tradesman myself. People will work with their hands and
do s don't have these issues.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
It saddens me.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
I think if everyone just grabbed a shovel once in
a while and dug a holder built a fence, we'd
all be okay.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Mmmm, that's good, and that's my dad right there. More
people need to dig a hole or build a fence less,
depression less, this stuff less, all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I would agree. I would agree.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I just talked to one of my daughters as a
matter of fact last night about you know, emotional struggles
and problems and how going out and taking a brisk
walk is like a wonder drug. Hey, it's an exercise.
Get your heart pump.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
We're talking about the Hunter Biden parton and maybe the
blanket partons for other people. A lot of people have
mentioned this. What if Hunter said to Joe over Thanksgiving,
if I serve time, we all serve time. I don't
know if he had to say that, or if he's
just kind of implied. Look, if I go down and
they start looking into this stuff, we're all going down.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So that might be driving a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I don't mean to be unnecessarily dramatic, but no mob
boss has to say that. Everybody involved in the syndicate nose.
And I don't know if is this legally possible?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Day one and Office Trump should issue an executive order
revoking the blanket presidential pardon for unter Biden, let him
face the consequences, revoke any other blanket partons as well,
and then eat the Thanksgiving Turkey.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Too excellent comedic camp to that street. I don't know
anything about if you can unpardon somebody I don't respect, not,
but if.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You could, and maybe you can, I don't know, Probably not,
but then you know it'd be'd further prove what we've
been saying. The other side is going to get to
do this too. Do you want the other side to
be able to do this? Democrats? Do you want Trump
to be able to pardon blanket pardon for people as
he heads out the door in four years?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
No, you don't.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
As I always say, the fact that you even have
to use that argument is incredibly disappointing.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But there it is.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I am certain, and perhaps we could consult one of
our constitutional Anita Turkey.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Your unpardoned bitch plate.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Certainly he could attempt it, citing the unconstitutionality of a
vague like time period covering all incumstancing immunity from the law.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Let's let the courts wrestle with this.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
That would be hilarious. Trump giving a speech. We need
to take a look at the pardon power. It's become
too broad. I uh, let do this.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'm gonna try to rein it in here broad Many
people say it's too brong.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
If you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Jack Katie and Key Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
There are senior aides inside the Biden White House who
are deliberating over whether there should be a more formalized
approach by the president to protect people with a preemptive pardon.
So it's that's something that's in the discussion phase right now.
A preemptive pardons to people that may be on Donald
Trump or his allies lists of people they dislike. That
(00:46):
would be a whole new world of the usage of
the presidential pardon. So a lot of typical implications there.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, I would say it'd be a whole new world.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And that came out originally from Jonathan Martin his reporting,
and it was confirmed yesterday by Peter Baker of The
New York Times. The White House is weighing blanket pardons
for Trump's perceived enemies. James Cliburn, the guy from South
Carolina who's the only reason Biden ever ended up being president,
(01:18):
is urging Biden to do it. I've seen Cash Bettel
saying who he's going after? So why should we not
believe them.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Well, if the justice system and a jury of their
peers find the guilty of the stuff that earned them
the dislike of Trump, well then they're guilty. To presume
that every single thing Donald Trump is unhappy about or
his people are happy about, is merely a creation of
(01:46):
their own insanity.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Where did you get that?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, let me present it as a lefty I would
I think, why wouldn't you say, let this is good news?
If I'm a Democrat, Let Trump and his Justice Department
bring crazy charges against innocent people and make you spend
all their political capital on that.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Go for it?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Is what I would say, is a Democrat, because they're
claiming it's all nuts.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, then what do you need the blanket partons for?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You know, I might respond that it's incredibly expensive and
disruptive merely to be accused of stuff and follow Yeah, such,
it'd be miserable enforcement, it'd be miserable.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But I mean, if they're they're talking about some journalists
to Okay, if you think it's just insane and it
would be pretty insane to go after journalists, uh that way, well, then.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
What are you worried about? Well, and come on just
and this is this is a minor point, because the
constitutional point is is all powerful here. But Trump spent
his entire twenty sixteen campaigns saying Hillary ought to go
to jail. Then the moment he got in the office,
he said, no, that would be too divisive and time consuming.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Act point Tilly, We're not going to do that. We're
gonna focus on the Yeah, excellent point. And if I'm
a Republican, I might say the same thing. And I
was just saying about the Democrats, Hey, go for it,
Joe Biden, go with the blanket pardons, and see what
that does for your party. I don't care about your legacy,
but see what that does for your party. The problem
is what it does to people's view of the Justice
(03:20):
Department and rule of law and cynicism towards politicians and everything.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, you know, as Peggy Noonan wrote, well, just quote
her as embarrassing as a citizen to see the president
of the US pardon his son in such an all
encompassing way for any legal transaggression going back nearly eleven years,
which feels like a concession to the assumption that is
more interesting law breaking or stretching may yet be unknown.
And then she goes into the fact that he promised
(03:46):
frequently and explicitly that he'd play it straight and let
the course of justice play out, which means he knew
it was important to people how they viewed him, so
he lied to reassure them all. This did what others
have said, lower trust and political leaders, made them more cynical,
I think, and that's absolutely true, and that was indefensible
that blanket pardoned for a period of many years.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's just sick.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But she made makes two points kind of indirectly and
directly that I thought were interesting. Number one and the
less important one is she says this pardon struck me
as a bitter action too. A president who cared about
public opinion, even that of his own party, would not
have done it or this way. It's a president flipping
the bird to an ungrateful nation that coldly turned on
(04:31):
him after a single debate and then elected that tramp,
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They deserve what they get. There might be some of that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
There also might be some Most of us don't know
what it's like to be on d's d death's door,
which Biden might feel like he actually is that although
where does the anger come from, Where does the whole
the justice department is corrupt thing come from? Again, there's
that's a completely different.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Emotion.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then I'm a dad and I can and save my son,
so I'm going to well And it's just bizarre given
the facts of the case. I mean, the hunter bragged
about the gun thing in his memoir, he confessed in
writing to the crime, so that one check and then
the tax stuff he got the opposite of unfairly harsh
(05:20):
treatment or unusually harsh treatment.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So again it was just factually nuts. It was useless politically,
I swear I smell the the unfortunate perfume of one doctor.
Fake doctor Jill Biden in the wording say one way,
excuse me, I sneeze. You should see doctors should give
(05:43):
you some Come on, here's the main point. Though all
of this has been great fun, but here is this
is the devastating point.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Cleary calendars.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Tell your kids to shut up, full over to the
side of the road, all right, Joe's about to launch
a truth ICBM.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
In your direction. The kids shut up in the same
way that I just moved. Here.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I'll illustrate this, Judy and I moved several years ago
from a house that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Had very little storage.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It's weird, like, didn't have enough closets, there's no attic whatever,
to a house that had just tremendous amounts of storage
in the attics and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Everybody knows this.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
The more storage space you have, the more crap you accumulated,
and everyone knows it, or.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Keep it least.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, George Carlin had a great bit on it yourself anyway,
right in the same way, in a similar way. And
I don't make to make don't mean to make light
of this, because again I'm going to level the city
of your illusions with my atomic weaponry of logic. And
here it is, let's face it, politicians in general, people
(06:57):
in general, they get away with they try to get
away with what they think they can get away with.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They push against the.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Constitution or just tear it to the extent that they
think they can. They loot the treasury, they abuse your rights.
They you know, at list every conceivable miscarriage of power
misuse of power that you can think of. Okay, if
I am operating in a world where it is routine
(07:28):
or even just possible that the head guy will pardon
me in advance for anything that I do. Don't you
think that really enlarges the palate of things I might do?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah? No kidding, Holy crap.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's like, you know to some superhero who you know,
what's the superhero dude who you can like shoot him
and he's a wisecracking guy and the it heals real quick.
You can break his arm and it heals wise crack,
and everybody loves him as violent but funny. Come on, Katie,
you're young and hip. What the hell am I think
it's dead? Where's a mask?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Deadpool?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Exactly if I was in a beauty Why are you
shaking your head like that? Because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
What you're supposed to know. I'll look into my superhero
rolodex there knowing. But seriously, if I, as a bureaucrat,
a government official, can commit virtually any sin against the
people or the constitution knowing that I will be preemptively pardoned,
(08:41):
because that's a thing. Now, Holy crap, let's hear what
Ari Fleischer said about these potential pardons.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
So I just think this whole thing is nuts. They
think that Donald Trump is going to come out and
get them. It just shows they haven't learned any of
the less sins that made them lose this election. They
still have Trump de arrangement syndrome as opposed to realizing
Donald Trump actually stands for a lot of common sense.
But it's also destructive. It's destructive because if they do it,
rest assured another Republican president will do it as well, right,
(09:15):
and then the pardon as established in the Constitution is demolished.
Now it becomes a tool for presidents of both parties
to in advance give out get out of jail free
cards to anybody and anybody on their list, even if
they didn't commit a crime.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
So here he's making the same point I did, without
the charming illustrations of attic Space and superheroes.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So the question I have is.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Most even lefties, think this pardoning his son was horrible,
mostly because Biden went out there and claimed five hundred times.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That he wasn't going to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well, people feel the same way about a blanket pardon
of Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff and was on the
list Anthony Fauci Or would they think that makes sense?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
See I don't because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
If they would react the same way as they're reacting
to Hunter, which most people think it's awful.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Good God.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Again, the lying in the hypocrisy is absolutely a legit
topic to be fired up about. It's the blanket nature
of any offenses for a given period of time that
is a horror. Right, that is the part we cannot accept. Well,
that's the people. Yeah, that's why I asked that it's articulately.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think there's a chance that a lot of Democrats
react with, well, he had to do that because Trump's
a hitler, and you've got to do this, and so
that will as you said, and NARRII Fleischer said, it's
just kind of it's going to rewrite the rules of pardons,
the Overton window of pardons, and establish that's what people
do now. And as you said, now all kinds of
(10:56):
friends of presidents will think I can do all kinds
of stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Right, it's the proverbial license to kill. You can give
all of your cronies a license for lawlessness with no
fear of retribution or repercussions. Again, that's the stuff of nightmares.
Never mind that the senile old mummy who's about to
leave us. Finally and let us get on with our
country is a lion hipocrite who cares it's the blanket anything.
(11:24):
They did think that it's Orwellian. I wish Orwell wasn't
quoted so much because it's lost some of its weight.
But this is a nightmare for a free people.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'll bet it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Doesn't happen because the reaction to the Hunter pardon has
been so bad.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, yeah, what was it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Five New York Times columnists the other day, in one
addition saying it was horrible. I'm thinking that the nose
will win the debate inside the White House.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
But the fact that they're having a vigorous debate over
this is.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Amazing, you know, And it's frustrating just as a per
who actually and I'm sure all of you share this,
who actually cares about this country and thinks it's an
incredible experiment.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
But you know, people based on a completely misplaced well no,
not completely. A lot of people had a misplaced perception
of the election being literally stolen by election officials in
Georgia or something. Did you see, by the way, where
Denish Desusa came out and apologized for two thousand mules saying, yeah,
a lot of that stuff I said wasn't true, and yeah,
(12:28):
the video wasn't what it claimed to be. It was
innocent stuff. And anyway, that was all wrong, and I'm sorry. Anyway,
the fact that you could get a fired up mob
to bust up the Capital over that stuff, and I
realized some of you are mad about other stuff. Let's
not get into it, but that nobody quite gets how
(12:49):
horrifying this pardon of Hunter is. In the aspect that
I've been drawning out and on about is frustrated. There
ought to be a crowd of five hundred thousand people
surrounding the White House right now, chanting no blanket pardons,
no blanket pardons, and hardly anybody's even talking about it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You got more on that later. Here's my favorite headline
from the New York Post today at seventy four, world's
oldest albatross hopes to become mom again and asks more
questions and it answers that headline. We've got more on
the way.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Stay with us. I was just on the phone with
my son.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
One of the really interesting things about raising kids, as
Joe knows, his kids are out of the house and
on into their lives, but watching your kids, especially now
that they're into the teenage years, go through some of
the first time this happened, experiences of being you know,
a human in the world.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And I just long story, I won't get into all
the details.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But my son overslept for something important and I had
I called him.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
He wasn't somewhere he was supposed to be. I called him.
He woke up. What time is it? And I told him?
He said, oh my god, you.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Know, just so, so that's the first time that has
happened in his life, and that whole feeling that he'll
have a hopefully few times, not a lot of times,
but throughout your life and just you know, all the
ramifications that come with it of dealing with the everything
it's funny part of life.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Well, it's yeah, And can you imagine if you removed
the all of the repercussions from that, right, the effect
that would have, Right, I don't know, it's self evident
to some of us the way life has to work.
But anyway, yeah, yeah, we've all done it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So what was that thing about Albatross's Oh and I
got jeez, I can't. I won't say who this is,
but another experience some teenager I know had in which
they were texting a lot and I said, hey, can
you put that down? And this teenager not my kids, said.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I can't. My girlfriend's met. I mean, I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Oh, point, son, you have become a man, I said,
I said to this person, not my son. No, I said,
this is going to happen a lot in your life.
Doesn't mean it's not important, right, but it is going
to happen a lot, yes, Katie. Now to which I say,
he knows, he knows what he did. Oh, I don't
(15:31):
know the woman you or you pretend to be part
of our team you're not.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Or of course the trump card of if he cared
about her, he would know.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
All oh lord, now you're killing me with this. It
reminds me of when my when one of my kids
had a teacher at the school that they thought was
an idiot. And I think they're at least half correct,
but they needed the good grade, and I told them
the skill of managing your relationship with an idiot who
(16:04):
you have to work with and getting a good result
is the most important thing you will learn from this class.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Kidding absolutely, talk about a life lesson.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Right, some this is going to be a painful exercise
you're going through, but you'll use that muscle again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
One another kid related, Are you looking at me, Joe?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
This is my son. So he's taking first year Spanish
in high school. You know, bueno. And but one of
the things he can do for extra credit that he
wants to get is go attend a Spanish mass.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So I guess we're gonna do that on Sunday. And
I thought I can understand a single.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Word, buy a condios and just sit there with people
asking me questions and me nod in my head and
smiling or talking slow and loudly in English.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I don't understand you. Thumbs up for Jesus whales. This
wal's this one of this? Yes sees one.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh, you know, I'll use all the Spanish ido Cabo
sam lucas to your gender bedning madness before the Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
More to come stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I got some great texts around the possible blanket pardon
of people who aren't his son. What happened to the
Any dad would do this? Any dad would pardon Adam Shift.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Shifts wouldn't pardon Adham Shift. He's a he's a garbage.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
More on that later. Sorry, that was disrespectful to garbage. Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
How about a gender bending madness update, A very special one.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It begins with mirth, ends with Supreme Court analysis. Let's
begin with a special guest gender beddening Madness updates. Contribution
from the geniuses at the Babylon B.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Fourteen.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
I'd like a tattoo of this really awesome Chinese symbol
that I saw.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
We're definitely gonna need your parents to come sign off
on that tattoo.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Why can't I do what I want? It's my body,
my choice, because you're fourteen, all right, tattoos are permanent.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You're gonna regret it one day.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Can I just buy some of those cigarettes?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
No way? Smoking is so bad?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
How about a beer?
Speaker 8 (18:28):
No, a fake pen? A lighter?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Not in this state?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Can I read a car bottled cough syrup?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
What do you drunk?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Fireworks?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You might blow yourself up?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
That Gruger GP one hundred and a box of thirty
eight specials you.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Might shoot your eye out.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I just I don't know. Like getting irreversible gender surgery?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No problem? Fuck get started right away?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Oh uh cool?
Speaker 8 (18:53):
I don't need my parents' permission.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Of course, not what if they're not a firm. Wow,
the fireworks really gotten me. Kid.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Can't buy a sixteen year old camp buy fireworks on
fourth of July, but you could get your penis lopped off.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah, or get powerful hormone treatments. So your gender betning
madness update proper. We mentioned this earlier. A bunch of
men pretending to be women and then activists and dudes
and whatever held a dance party in the women's bathroom
on Capitol Hill to protest banning men from women's bathrooms,
and anybody who's seen the video has signed up for
(19:31):
the Reality's Last Stand newsletter that's the conservative defending of
women's spaces and has become a fan of Riley Gains.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
They as usual these activists.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The more they do what they do, the more people realize, Oh,
that's crazy now that I take a look at it.
Another story for you. In Northern California, native has become
the first trans woman to men when Model of the
Year Sonoma Counties Alex Cansani, he's a dude. The first
Model of the Year at the Fashion Awards in London.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Of course, was but as the most attractive woman there.
And it's not a political virtue signaling at all.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
So once again women men are better at everything, including
being a woman. We'll just have to accept it. Oh yeah, yeah,
just ridiculous. Moving along, good news, the Ladies Professional Golf
Association has announced no, dudes, if you went through puberty
as a male, you're not playing women's golf because of
(20:33):
the obvious undeniable physical advantages you have over women. Well done, LPGA.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Nice job, and how much of a backlasher are they suffering.
I haven't even heard about it, so.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
They won't suffer much backlash at all?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, then why wouldn't more of these organizations have the
guts to stand up and do it.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Next LPGA tournament, to the extent that anyone pays very
much attention to it. I'm not belittling women's sports in
general bias. It's not nearly as big a deal as
men's golf. But anyway, there will be a protester or
two here and there. They might run onto the green
and then deface something or yell at something or chant
at somebody, and there will be outsized coverage of the
tiny handful of lunatics that thinks dudes ought to be
(21:19):
able to play women's golf. Disney has removed a children's
cartoon episode about transgender athletes in which a plucky transgender
girl it's a dude in a with long hair is
shown to be tough and brave and a groundbreaker and
(21:40):
participating in girls sports. That's funny. They've yanked that episode
elsewhere in children's entertainment. It's clip thirteen. Michael, this is
a dad watching his kid watch a Transformer's cartoon.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
When I'm with my friends or other non binary people,
binary people who walk female.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I shouldn't have help. Consolutely not. Tash Armer's earth Spark
on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Transformer streaming on Netflix a nice episode about a non
binary person explaining to their robot friend what non binary
is and how it's special and how they're only safe
among other non binary people.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
That guy said the same thing I said when my
kids were watching a Simpsons episode where they did an
up with Socialism song, like, absolutely not play that again, Michael,
It's good.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I don't safe when I'm with my friends or other
non binary people, nom binary people who walk female.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have help.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Consolutely not got you.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Trash Armer's Earthpark on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
How are you so out of touch that you don't
realize that almost your entire audience is going to react
negatively to that. Just from a commerce standpoint, he I mean,
we're in the business of having an audience and making
a living. Just from that standpoint, I would think you'd
stay away from that stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
You've come to believe Twitter is America and your activist
young employees represent the future, and they don't. They don't
at all. A couple more stories very quickly. We're working
our way up to just a little more Supreme Court
analysis of the oral arguments the other day. But are
you familiar with the l Leche League. It's existed for
many years. I think I'm pronouncing it correctly. It was
founded in the fifties by a couple of suburban moms
(23:37):
who realized they were doing something very rare at the time.
They were breastfeeding their babies at a time when the
hubris and idiocy of science. In the twenty twentieth century
this happened a lot. Announced that formula is much better
for your baby than breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is for poor people
and stupid people. And these two women are like that
can't possibly be true, and we think breastfeeding is important
(24:00):
and we want to make it easier for women and
understand and they know they're not alone. So this gal founded,
These gales founded this organization. Seventy years later, one of
their founders, ninety four year old what's her last name,
Marion Thompson, just quit the organization because it's gone woke
and is insisting on promoting men who desire to look
(24:25):
like women, taking lots and lots of hormones until they lactate,
and then having their babies eat that.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Ooh wow, is there any information out there about what
nutrients you get from a dude who lactates as a baby.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Well, precisely as she writes, she says, on such and
such a date, I resigned for such and such a board.
Blah blah blah, an organization that has become a travesty
of my original intent. From an organization with a specific
mission of supporting biological women who want to give their
baby just say women, to just say women. It's the
only kind of women there are who want to give
their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding them.
(25:06):
LL's focus has subtly shifted to include men who for
whatever reason, want to have the experience of breastfeeding despite
no careful, long term research on male actation and how
they may affect the baby.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Wow, that's horrible, I mean now, I mean, this is
like another level beyond other horrible stuff. You got a
tiny little baby that needs nutrients to survive and they
might not be getting any of it because who knows.
Oh my god, that's horrifying.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I read on this shift from following the norms of nature,
which is the core of mothering through breastfeeding, to indulging
the fantasies of adults is destroying our organization. She further
explained in an interview quote, there's no justification for experimentation
on newborn babies. No one knows the effects of the
multiple drugs and hormones used by these males on the
(25:54):
health of babies. There are no long term studies at all.
Of course, one of the drugs almost all well, yeah,
because this lunacy only reared its nutty head a few
years ago. Indeed, one of the drugs almost always used
to induce lactation, dom paradone, is actually banned in the
United States. How can we justify experimenting on babies? Who
cannot give any type of consent. How is this ethical?
(26:18):
God bless you, ma'am for doing that and writing that
and starting the league way back in the fifth. It
reminds me of wish more people were paying attention.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
It reminds me the Ricky Gervais joke a different issue,
same thing though, where he said, you know why there
aren't any rules about that because nobody thought we having.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Needed any.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Right exactly why are there no rules against people with
penises and women's sports because nobody thought it was necessary.
A little Supreme Court glance before we lay that to rest.

com for restrictions and details. Hate lawyers anyway, daughter's about.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
To become one.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Ah okay, So back to the Supreme Court. A couple
of comments. There was so much madness in that hearing
the fact that it even occurred is a measure of
how far down the road to crazyville we've gotten that.
You know, the state of Tennessee could say there's no
scientific basis for this dangerous medical treatment you're laying on children,
(28:10):
how that you can't do this anymore? And then activists
say no, the Constitution says we can continue to experiment
on children.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's a decent point. And I made it all the
way to the Supreme Court. Yeah, yeah, gosh, dang it,
that's disturbing.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
But anyway, Judge Justice Alito asked whether transgender is an
immutable characteristic because under the fourteenth Amendment that the plaintiffs
were saying, you can't have unequal treatment. If a boy
can get hormones for you know, some sort of testicular
malfunction for instance, then a girl should be able to
get hormones to turn her into a boy. Otherwise that
(28:45):
sex discrimination because she's transgender. Well, Alito said, all right,
is transgender an immutable characteristic which means you can't possibly
change it? You can't like become a white guy tomorrow
if you're a black guy, you just can't.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
That's what immutable means. What about Michael Jackson, the.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Exception that proves the rule? He anyway, so strongio.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
The the the the.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Lawyer person person argued, Yeah, there is a strong biological
basis between sex and gender. Therefore it is immutable. In
the very next question, the next question, Alito asked about
gender fluidity and strongio. The transgender lawyer argued, the gender
identity is informed by an individual's understanding of their gender.
(29:37):
Therefore it is fluid, which is the opposite of immutable
right back to back questions.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Aw, that's interesting, I had missed that. But yeah, that
argument has been a problem all along, and this doctor
right now, I could born that way, and it's up
to me on it can change on a daily basis. Okay,
which is it exactly?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Well, here's the devastating point by this doctor. It should
not be lost on us that we live in a
time when the US Supreme Court is presented two arguments
back to back that are completely and undeniably in contradiction
with each other, while the arguing attorney has the ability
to carry on with full confidence lacking any awareness of
these glaring problems. Thus, we have some of the best
(30:21):
legal minds in the country hearing arguments from someone who
not only cannot identify her own contradictions, but does not
appear to comprehend the very concept of contradiction in the
first place. I guess this shouldn't be much of a surprise,
since the judicial bench is shared with another justice who
casually compares the risks of taking aspirin to the chronic
administration of deforming and sterilizing hormones. There are many questions
(30:44):
that will arise from the skurmeti case. But one that
I imagine we will be pondering for quite some time
is how we got to this situation in the first place.
And then let's see what time is it. We're running
kind of late. That's too bad. We've got some great
about this. You have time for this.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
We can do them, maxt I was going to do
a couple of texts.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
You want to do text mail, sure from some of
you who are smart slash funny. Got that on the way,
and a bunch of other stuff. Stay here, how y'all doing.
You realize that you got this weekend, two more weekends,
and then you got Christmas on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You realize that, right? Okay? Do I realize that? I
better realize that craziness.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
I was tempted to get into this great piece by
a legal expert on at least a half a dozen
false claims that were made during the governments, the federal
government and the transactivists side. What the hell the federal
government Joe Biden's federal government is arguing in favor of
mutilating kids lovely anyway, But there were many false false
(31:54):
claims that are easily debunked in front of the Supreme
Court about the safety of these drugs and the side
effects and their permanence and all sorts of stuff. Man,
if you're having to come to the Supreme Court with dishonesty,
it's because you don't have an honest case to make.
But why don't we go with some of the text
and emails instead? You want to lead with a text
or two.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Or no, no, no, do your stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Okay, let's see you got this from anonymous morning fellas.
I want to chime in on what the lawyer she
him at. Whatever they were said about children not having
the right to hormones due to sex discrimination, I couldn't
help but think as I listened to them speak, how
absurd it is to claim sex discrimination while simultaneously being
unable to define what a boy or a girl even is.
(32:35):
It goes back to the same question. If genitals don't
decide gender, then how does cutting them off a fermit?
The mental gymnastics are wild. How can these people be
so blinded by ideology that their arguments don't even hold
up within their own framework?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
That is the one that has really struck me in
recent days, is that idea that it doesn't matter if
I have boobs in of a I'm not a woman. Okay, well,
then why does removing them help you?
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Right? And I find, as the father of a couple
of beautiful daughters, the idea that a woman is just
a low testosterone male with a couple of nips and tucks.
That's what a woman is, my ass.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Anyway, let's see this gender madness. Note. You know, I
really like this because I think John represents so many
people guys. I have no personal experiments experience with this subject.
I don't know anyone who's dealing with this problem. I
personally think it's all a mental illness. I'm fifty four
years old. How do I not know anyone who's dealing
with this? Is it because I live in the Central
(33:37):
Valley of California. Both of my sons are mechanics. I'm
a tradesman myself. People will work with their hands and
do s don't have these issues.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
It saddens me.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
I think if everyone just grabbed a shovel once in
a while and dug a holder built a fence, we'd
all be okay.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Mmmm, that's good, and that's my dad right there. More
people need to dig a hole or build a fence less,
depression less, this stuff less, all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I would agree. I would agree.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I just talked to one of my daughters as a
matter of fact last night about you know, emotional struggles
and problems and how going out and taking a brisk
walk is like a wonder drug. Hey, it's an exercise.
Get your heart pump.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
We're talking about the Hunter Biden parton and maybe the
blanket partons for other people. A lot of people have
mentioned this. What if Hunter said to Joe over Thanksgiving,
if I serve time, we all serve time. I don't
know if he had to say that, or if he's
just kind of implied. Look, if I go down and
they start looking into this stuff, we're all going down.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So that might be driving a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I don't mean to be unnecessarily dramatic, but no mob
boss has to say that. Everybody involved in the syndicate nose.
And I don't know if is this legally possible?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Day one and Office Trump should issue an executive order
revoking the blanket presidential pardon for unter Biden, let him
face the consequences, revoke any other blanket partons as well,
and then eat the Thanksgiving Turkey.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Too excellent comedic camp to that street. I don't know
anything about if you can unpardon somebody I don't respect, not,
but if.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You could, and maybe you can, I don't know, Probably not,
but then you know it'd be'd further prove what we've
been saying. The other side is going to get to
do this too. Do you want the other side to
be able to do this? Democrats? Do you want Trump
to be able to pardon blanket pardon for people as
he heads out the door in four years?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
No, you don't.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
As I always say, the fact that you even have
to use that argument is incredibly disappointing.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But there it is.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I am certain, and perhaps we could consult one of
our constitutional Anita Turkey.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Your unpardoned bitch plate.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Certainly he could attempt it, citing the unconstitutionality of a
vague like time period covering all incumstancing immunity from the law.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Let's let the courts wrestle with this.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
That would be hilarious. Trump giving a speech. We need
to take a look at the pardon power. It's become
too broad. I uh, let do this.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'm gonna try to rein it in here broad Many
people say it's too brong.
