Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and he.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Armstrong and Getty Strong.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And there are a rare few in media who are
actually standing up for a liberty and be responsible governance
(00:46):
and media. John Stossel is highly placed among them. Came
across some work he did the other day his website,
I believes John stossel dot com. There's all sorts of
good content there. And if you don't know John Stossel's act,
it's it's absolutely worth knowing him is He is a
good egg. He's one of those guys on the rare
occasions I disagree with him, his opinion is always worth
(01:07):
hearing because it helps you, you know, wrestle with your
own and make your own stronger.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
At any rate, this first clip is a.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Little bit long ish, but there was no natural breaking in,
and it's very very good talking about the unbelievably dishonest
media we have right now, which you know it's not
news to anybody, but I thought he'd put it pretty eloquently.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
We'll start with seventy Michael, have.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
You noticed how some in the media just suck up
to some politicians.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm struck just in your presence, struck in her presence,
looking you in the eye, with your passion that you
were displaying. Republicans are treated differently, if I may.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Finished this answer, Well, let me just I'm gonna I'm
gonna go ahead and interrupt you here.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
In the FBI.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I mean, we have just my question, though, governor, excuse me.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Aggressive interviews are easy to notice, but some bias is
more subtle.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
For example, what a great campaign.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Media have always covered Iowa caucus victory speeches.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
We're gonna want to listen in very very closely, thank
you all.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
But this year when Trump won, thank you wet, CNN
cut away from his speech.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Here he is right now under my voice. You hear
him repeating his anti immigrant rhetoric. Actually, no, Jake, you
hear him. We don't.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
CNN wouldn't let us actually listen to Trump and decide
for ourselves. MSNBC showed one of Trump's speech. Rachel Maddow said, we.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Will let you know if there's any news made.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Madows says it's not responsible to broadcast Trump live because
he lies so much. Wow, we reporters can point that
out instead of cutting away when he talks. I've repeatedly
reported on Trump's lies. Trump lies even about unimportant things
like the crowd at his inauguration.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The ratings of his TV show. But Biden lies too.
Here he lies about doing well in law school. Get
it up in the top half of my class.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Biden now concedes he did not graduate in the top
half of his law school class.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He also lied when he said I.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Have never discussed if my son were on my brother
or anyone else having to do with their businesses.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And that's good stuff right there, and appalling. I'd be
interested to look into who lies the most and how
consequential they are. I think Biden's in the in the
running with Donald Trump for exaggerations or lies, absolutely, but
they would never consider cutting away from Biden's not involved anymore,
but back in the day cutting away from his big
(03:36):
speech because he lies so much.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's it's it's appalling you, mainstream media.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
You want to drive Trump's skeptical voters into Trump's arms.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Keep doing that. God, that's so damned maddening.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
How'd you like Jake Tapper, who I used to think
more highly of with his well, you hear as his
anti immigrant rhetoric. Oh yeah, because it's only like, what
a ten percent or so of the racist, hateful Americans
who want the border secure?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Right, Jake?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Why so between sixty and ninety percent of Americans agree
with Trump on the border stuff, depending on which question
you're talking about. But that's anti immigrant rhetoric, So we
won't even run the speech. That's freaking insane from a
journalistic standpoint.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
More good stuff from the great John Stossel. Next clip
seventy one.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Shouldn't be surprised that the media treat Republicans differently. For
every Republican in newsrooms, there are ten Democrats. And now
NPR has actually hired this woman to be its new CEO.
She not only tweeted Trump's a racist, but during BLM
looting said sure, looting is counterproductive, but it's fine because
(04:48):
what they're looting comes from a system of oppression.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
She's now the boss of government funded radio. Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yes, wow, yeah, yeah, she that chick is a This
is far about her when she got hired.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
If you miss it, we're.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Further down this road than we've been in my lifetime,
don't you think?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh yeah, oh, one hundred percent yeah. Absolutely. Next clip,
here's another example.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
The governor of Texas refuses to give in to federal law.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Recently, reporters suddenly got very upset about rule of law.
The governor of Texas refuses to give.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
In to federal law.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The media can't believe that Texas politicians put up a
fence and won't remove it even after the Feds told
them to. But when it comes to sanctuary cities, the
tone is very different.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Communities that shield undocumented immigrants by not reporting offenses to
immigration enforcement.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
They choose not to follow federal immigration laws.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
They simply choose not to follow the law. They don't
refuse like Texas does. The governor of Texas refuses to
give in to federal law.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right, yeah, yep. Egregious and obvious. One more from Ostocles
is a seventy six Michael.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Libertarians get trashed, Republicans get interrupted and their speech is
cut off, but Democrats largely get a pass, even if you.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Can't tell what they say. Beer brute. Here it is
used to make to prove Beard in his fine oooh
Worth riders. Thanks for the great legs, But there is
some good news today.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
More people ignore leftist media c a n's primetime viewership
fell behind the history channels. Recently, more people now get
their news from independent journalists who publishing places like substack
and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Like us.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It's a good trend because we're more thoughtful than the
silly people on TV.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
The chalk and chocolate chip. Nah good, clip good, John Stossel.
When do they ever ask Donald Trump?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
What did you order? If they get a chance to
ask him a question outside a restaurant or something, give
me a break.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I know who is it that was pointing this out
from the convention? Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Mark Halpern in his newsletter, he said, it's just true.
When reporters see a big player who's a Democrat at
the convention, they run up. So how do you think
it's gone so far? If they see a Republican they
run up?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You said, JD.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Vance was right about blah blah blahs.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Just the way it is. Mm hmm yep. We have
to be better on the right side of the aisle.
It just is the world we live in. Is it fair?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Is it honorable? Is it patriotic? No? None of the above,
And yet it is.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I realized Biden's well, I keep saying he's no longer anything.
He's the freaking president of the United States. He's the
most powerful man on planet Earth. Maybe number two, but
certainly in the top two. And you know he's an afterthought.
But anyway, that particular clip of him being indecipherable I
hadn't heard before.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Wow, that's a goodness, some serious garblage.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
The fact that he would have still been the candidate
today and for another two months outside of that debate. God,
I wish I could do the parallel universe where he
didn't debate until September or October like they normally do, right, right,
And how the media would still be saying things like
(08:24):
cheap fakes, I can't keep up with him, or behind
the scenes, he's better than I've ever seen him. I'd
still be saying that, and you know, they would.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Be right right.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And imagine the panic that would have set in after
the disastrous debate, because it was inevitable that it would
be disastrous and his senile.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
And part of the panic was because Kamala Harris was
a know nothing who couldn't possibly win. But now that's
all thrown aside. She's the greatest thing that's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, wild again.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
If you'd gone into a coma in June and walking
up now you'd say.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Wait, what they yet, we're all just supposed to say yes,
yes with his trade face.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Since we're probably gonna move away from presidential politics after this,
I'll say I used to say, I think Trump understands
the modern moment we're in better than anybody else, certainly
when he was running against Hillary and maybe against Biden.
I think right now, and this is none of this
is good, but I think he realized where we are
with celebrity culture and what people pay attention to and
(09:28):
what we don't. I think he just understood that intuitively
different the Democrats might be onto it now, positions on
your website, Hey grandpa nice do want interviews?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Why?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
They might just understand where we are culturally media wise
in a way that now Trump doesn't quite understand.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Kamo's campaign isn't studying Bill Clinton. They're studying the Kardashians, right,
or Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, yes, Michael, people want to be entertained, not informed.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Don't got time for that or don't or yeah, all
kinds of different things. Just you know, like my side,
I don't want to hear any negative the thing about
my side. So I'm fine with no interview. In fact,
I've heard people say out loud, I think it's a
good idea for not doing interviews. It's the most important
thing is that we defeat Donald Trump. So I'm fine
with the Democrats are saying this. I'm fine with the
fact that she has taken no positions because it's that
(10:22):
important that we beat Trump. Wow, that's where we are.
She What if she gets elected president without having a
position on our website or having done an interview? What
does that say for where we are is the world's
oldest democracy.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I hope Lincoln and Douglas rise from their graves and
rain heavy blows down upon anybody who thinks that way.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
See, I hope people are beaten by skeletons in the street.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's your answer, Well, ghosts, you know, ghost scot haunted,
bipartisan ghosts.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Though, all right, I was looking for you. You're a
political science major. I was hoping for more, But.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
No, I want to go with ghost ghostly patriots to
to to haunt the living.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, I got at least I have a policy.
Speaker 1 (11:10):

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
So it's not pretty good to just see how many
people are behind us. Caleb Horse went to school with
the support of the community Monday morning and is left
wondering if he'll be punished for flying the American flag.
Corset says he was told last week by adding public
schools to have the flag off by Monday. Instead, an
entourage of the Red, white, and Blue showed up beside him.
(11:57):
The students I talked to told me they haven't heard
anything about punishment yet and they think with all the support,
it's not likely.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
One senior I.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Talk to says it's not over for them and they're
going to continue flying their flags daily. Right now, it's
unclear what's next for these students, but they did tell
me they help. Other students will join in as they
continue to keep their flags on their trucks.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
First of all, the kid's name is Horsed, not Horse.
Sounds like he's a character in a child's book Ethan
Horse and Caleb Horse anyway, So that's Edmund Oklahoma, and
I will skip to the end. This is brilliant proof
once again that there is a rot in America's school systems.
(12:37):
And if you think you live in a red state,
a red city, whatever your local schools, damn good chance
they are a deep, deep blue region. Teaching your kids
you don't occurred to me the way to pitch this
to you, because I believe this to my heart to
be true. In fact, I know it to be true.
Getting the kids is the lynch pin. It is the critical,
(13:01):
critical part of the progressive plan to take over America
and to get rid of Western civilization, bring in a
new Neo Marxist utopia. It is the one indispensable strategy
that they must be successful at.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's the way they look at its.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Plus the constantly pushing it's had an effect on me,
Like I talked about when I got back from my vacation,
driving through thousands of miles of what I would call
normal America as opposed to the part I live.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
In, it was like.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
It shouldn't have been shocking to me, and it shouldn't
have made me like slightly weirdly uncomfortable overt displays of
patriotism or religious belief or whatever. I've been hammered on
it so often that it's had an effect, even as
like a grown man who came into it with, you know,
(13:54):
some solid beliefs. So you're young. Of course it would
to where it just it would. It would get to
where un American flag is a little in your face,
so I probably shouldn't, right.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So they're in Edmund, Oklahoma, of all places.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
This kid had an American flag on the back of
his pickup truck, which happens to be red, white and blue,
and he was told, as you heard, you got till
Monday to take that off because well, according to an
Edmund Public Schools spokesperson, students are not allowed to display
or bring any kind of flag on campus to limit
distraction and create a safe environment. And because they're progressives
(14:27):
and neo Marxists, whether they know it or not, they
do not consider the flag of the United States of
America to be any different from a Pride flag or
a you know, Broncos flag or whatever else.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's a perfectly good rule with the exclusion of the
US flag and the state flag of Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, how can you make an exception for one flag
because that's you're anaty or nation. My answer is you're
an idiot. You know what I'm going with his argument,
it's better than mine.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
And so instead of taking down the flag, he showed
up with one hundred or more other trucks in car
flying American flags a protest there at the school.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
In a video posted Monday, and I should have asked
for this audio. We don't have the audio of Ryan Walters,
do he?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I don't think we do. I have praised him lavishly
in the past.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He's the Oklahoma state Superintendent of Schools who is an
avowed saying patriotic conservative, an American. He says, no school
in Oklahoma should tell students they can't wave an American flag.
We've had Americans die for that flag, die for students
to have the right to carry the flag, to wave
the flag, to be proud of the flag. My department
(15:38):
right now is working on guidelines that will be issuing
to districts to ensure that no student is ever targeted
for having an American flag, and also that our schools
will promote patriotism. We want our young people to be patriotic,
we want them to love this country, and we're going
to continue to support our young people to have the
greatest understanding of American history in the country and to
be proud of our country.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
That is so dumb on so many levels. See, we've
got a government school run by the federal government that
set the standards and fund the school. But you're not
allowed to have the flag of that government.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That's crazy because that's co equals any other symbol or
flag or sign. You people are stupid. Needs to quote
my partner or idiots. I don't want to quit. Yeah,
that's unbelievable, and I've got so much more information on
the rot in America's schools, but you know that'll be
a thing that will certainly continue on.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
There's a short story for you. It doesn't take very long.
Every parent is worried about this. Family takes their four
year old to a museum. Kid accidentally smashes a thirty
five hundred year old priceless jar.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Doh.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Four year old just grabs hold of a jar to
look inside it tips over, smashes into pieces.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yesh, you gotta put that thing behind glass or something.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, a lot of cool museums don't because it's kind
of cool to not have everything sure protecting them behind glass.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But yeah, that's unfortunate. What happened they jailed the kid?
Arrest him? I don't know, I'd have to read the
whole thing. And who's got the time?

Come on enjoy this carefully curated Armstrong and Getty replay.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Now on with the infotainment.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
If I love company holiday parties, you can get to
be with people that you work with all day long
for more hours, and you get to say I love
your ugly Christmas sweater and they're like, that's just my
sweater and you get to be like, hey, remind me,
do you go buy Steve or Steven?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And he's like it's Mark.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
And your boss tries to crack a joke and everyone
around them does the employment laughter like and you get
to say no work talk, and then you realize that
you have nothing to talk about, and you get to
station yourself right in front of the food platter so
that if you don't want to talk to the person
standing in front of you anymore, you just shove something
into your mouth. And at the end of the night
(18:30):
you get to do an Irish exit where everyone's like,
where's Paul's he gett us drinks up at the bar. Nope,
Paul's at home.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I have had a great, great time at many a
company Christmas party in my life, like great time. I
don't know who started the idea that they're miserable, and
then of course the trend toward well, we can't have
them anymore because all the awful things that happen. What
I went to a million Christmas parties one time, something
(19:00):
that happened and everybody's better for it having happened.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It was hilarious. Yeah, I suppose.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
They ranged from great to okay? Were you hammered at
some of them? Most of them that were great? Do
you think?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I'm sure I was, But they but they used to
throw a lot of places I worked through real Christmas
parties like nice restaurant, nicer than I would have gone
to on my own. With nicer drinks than I was
going to get on my own. And then that, at
least in our industry, dribbled away over time, and then
over that hole, that whole ridiculousness of it's just too
dangerous with people getting out of hand and the sexual
(19:38):
harassment really liability blob right right, So that choked it out.
That I just happened to run into somebody twice this week,
two different people who had real company Christmas parties, and
I thought, okay, those still exists certain certain industries.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
That's that's nice to hear.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, And you get to see your coworkers in a
completely different setting and meet their families and have some
human relationship with them.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That helps the business. It helps the business, it really does. Yeah. Yep.
A couple of things for you.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Rob Schneider, you know Rob Schneider from Sarah Ive way
back in the day making copies, the copy of Guy
and then his friends with Adam Sandler, so Adam Sandler
put him in a whole bunch of his movies, so
that helped make him richer. Also, Rob Schneider announced he's
launching a new all woman talk show, which will be
the opposite of the view and will not shame people
for their politics. It's supposed to be an all inclusive
they actually have different points of view.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
The view well, I love that.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Rob Schneider's a really interesting guy. He's a solid thinker.
He is good presence online search.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Him and Bill Maher as he sat in Bill Maher's
basement and talked for like an hour and a half
about politics a couple weeks ago is really interesting. The
Lincoln Project, which I like to bring up just because
I hate those people so much, is a bunch of
Republican hacks who decided to be anti Trump and run
a scam to make money, and a whole bunch of
you probably are anti Trump, probably gave him money. Never Trump.
(20:59):
Lincoln Project paid millions in twenty twenty four to companies
owned by themselves.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Shocking. Oh wow, that's weird.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
So much of politics, you really need to spend a
lot of time on any charity or political group of
any kind to figure out if they're doing what you
think they're doing with your money, because they appeal to
your emotion and then they keep a lot of it,
whether it's Black Lives Matter, the Lincoln Project, Al Sharpen
what he's trying to do for the guy that dangle
penny choked or or whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
So many of the packs that ask for your money
because if you're with Trump like we are, if you
think Trump is hitler like we do, give twenty dollars
now and all the relatives are on the payroll and
they all get rich.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, U, this is too long. Better save that for
next hour.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Next hour. You say there's another hour, You're darn right
there is. We do four hours every single day.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Are you sure?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
If you missed it the podcast Armstrong and getting on demand.
Go into an all Spanish Catholic Mass tonight, which will
be interesting. My son's doing it. My son's doing it
for extra credit in his Spanish class. And uh, I
have a feeling I'll hear a lot of Spanish Spanish
Spanish Jesus Spanish Spanish Spanish Jesus. And that's little God. See,
(22:17):
I didn't even know that word. I know, I know
very little Spanish unless they say casada or.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Wow. This is heading in a really objectionable time. For
some reason, I'm not going to I'm not going to
understand anything other than Jesus.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
And the Lord is the sombrero over us they'll be
explaining in Spanish and you'll say, wait a minute, sombrero,
I get that's good. Uh, you gotta open Google Transfer
all right, right, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Via condos English God, even when it's in English, a
Catholic mass is difficult. You gotta like, look around, we
kneeling now, were standing up. We're not standing up.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We're standing. They can tell you're an outsider. Then they
give you the hairy eyeball.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
You know what your cats sitting?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes, indeed, my daughter has two absolutely delightful cats. They
are kind of adolescent age. They haven't quite mellowed out
into super chill cats lay on top of the sofa
and just look at you. They still want to play
a lot and stuff, so they're they're a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Do they pee on things? That's always my concern if
I'm watching.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Anybody, No, no, no, no, they're very very well littered
boxy train. Naturally.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
The cats do that naturally, really, unless they have some
sort of problem. But they've been delightful. They're a lot
of fun. They're so sweet, and I'm not allergic to
them by some miracle. But Judy and I have agreed
that like the last evening, I walk the dog, I
run up, I play with the cats because they need
(23:51):
some interaction stuff like that. I go downstairs and I
feed the dog. Then I take a shower, and then
I blah blah blah. Then I got to go to
deal with the cats because Judy is out, and and
then I go out to the garage and this frog
or toad or something's jumping around.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I'm like, I'm living.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm Doctor Doolittle over here. But it's a lot of work,
it's a lot of responsibility, having two more beasts in
the house. Yeah, or Paxster is so old and I
don't know if he's hard at hearing or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They don't meow.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Upstairs because they're the restrict restricted to one upstairs bedroom.
And they meow and we look at Pastor and he's like,
what what are you looking at me for? So he's
totally unaware.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I'm a pet fan in general, but Jesus, the pet
thing is just it. It's beyond where it was thirty
years ago, twenty years ago. It's just And yes, can
you afford it? Do you have time for it? Does
your lifestyle allow for this? And the traveling with the pets.
While I was staying in a hotel over Thanksgiving, nice
(24:50):
hotel that allows dogs, and most of the people I
saw having their dogs in the hotel, they looked miserable, trying.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
To deal with it. Is stressed out, stressed out.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
And I saw mom and dad trying to get the
dog out of the room with the kids, and you
hold that, you hold the dog, I'll bring them. He's like,
is this fun for anybody having the dog with you
on this trip or or would have been just fine
to have.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The dog at home or not have a dog.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
You talk about facets of modern life. I don't get
I love dogs. I love my dog, but he's not
coming on any damn trip. Sorry, he's not coming to the.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Store with me.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I've talked to my son about this. I said, you
got to get this early in the relationship. I mean,
are they dog rides in the truck with you wherever
you go, person sleeps in the bed with you, person
goes to the restaurant or not? And are you because
he's a no way and uh, because that's it, that's it.
That could be a deal breaker because one of you
(25:50):
has to give on something that's obviously very important to
you right, animals in the car. I hate it absolutely, Oh.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Really I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
I don't mind that for some reason, but I just
the logistics of trying to do things and tend to
a dog.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Katie, what the side of this are you on? Are
you the dog goes everywhere? Person? Oh, my dog has
a car seat. Sure, that's absolutely fine, But I don't
want to do it.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
He actually went to a restaurant with us and was
very well behaved. It was amazing, cool, it's fantastic. I
just I don't want to do it. Miss Now, I
don't on what it's not on something else to worry about. Yeah,
it's funny, little he's your best friend.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You do have the situation though, where you upset on
the air that you were working toward a family and
so you got the whole messing thing going that that
that's that's different too.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, a little baby crazy? Yeah, exactly. You've got sweaters
and stuff, that's what that's what? Oh lord?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, my daughter in the cats place place. It's it's
so clearly rehearsing.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Really cool. Fine, but yeah, that's awesome. I think that's natural.
Cart sure, right, quick question for Katie, when you took
the dog to the restaurant. Did you guys order him
a meal?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I did order him a plain beef patty, and he
thoroughly enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
All right, So we're dealing with a nut job here, folks.
She's sweet, kind of nutty.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Do you take him through the drive through at Starbucks
where they have.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
What do they call him? Puppet pop?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
No, I have not done that. Yeah, you're well you
don't love them, then I guess, Oh wod.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
I was watching that family fight their dog at the
at the hotel, trying to get the kids and the
dog and all the stuff, and I thought that freaking
looks miserable.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, they look miserable.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Oh you know, I mean mine twelve pounds, so I
can just pick him up.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's easy. That is a difference.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I've always been a big dog person. Joe and I
have talked about this over the years. I've always liked
big dogs, always had big dogs. Then Henry won to pug.
We got a pug. Here's something awful handy about the
tiny little dog. You just pick up here, come here,
setting you over here for now?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh yeah yeah, And housing and feeding and cleaning up
after a seventy five pound dog as well.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
It's many multiples of the little fella.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Although I did love who's that against a chihuam owner,
But either you heard about that or you didn't, you know.
On the other end of the lifespan Katie to various
people who may or may not be like rehearsing parenthood.
When Delaney left the house, it was when she, you know,
went off to college. It was a couple of years
(28:18):
after our dog Onyx had died, who was a black
lab too, and I was so disoriented by not having
another beast to care for.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
We got a dog.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And whoever you are, I should remember your name. Some
emailer wrote, Joe, are you out of your friggin mind?
You finally got an empty nest, You got all this
freedom and you got a big dog.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
What's the matter with you? And he was right on
one level.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Although Backster is my buddy and I love him, But yeah,
this time, and Judy has put her foot down and
it's fine. I need some sort of dad detox program
so I can just get used to it's just the
two of us, and I'm not caring for another beast
who needs my attention.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Does free you up a lot? When you don't have
a pet. Yeah, and let's go here or there or whatever.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
But you know, as some listeners know, I had a
minor child under my roof for twenty five consecutive years,
and it's not easy to transition out of that life.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Sound it's not effortless. I can't even imagine. I will
have to imagine in about ten years, eight years. I guess,
quick question for.

I'm Strong and get each Other.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
You've certainly heard of the Jurassic period of time because
you got all those movies right, or maybe in school
at some point had to memorize all the different periods
of world history?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Did you have to do that?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I remember having that memorized at one point, and I'd
be another one of those that I would look back
on and think, was that just an epis an experiment
in memorization? Or was I supposed to hang on to
that for the rest of my life when the Pleocene
era ended, in the Jurassic era began, and.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
How long that was just going to say, I'm I'm
placed to scene man any other eras a waste of time.
I don't even want to look at your bones if
you're from a different era.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
But usually there hundreds of millions of years long, these
different periods of time, And there was a group of
scientists that were trying to get a new one going
for now, because man has so changed the planet that we.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Needed a new name.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
But before we get to that, the Earth is about
four point six billion years old, And there is actually
a particular group of scientists that decide these things. The
grandly named chapters of our planet's history are governed by
a body of scientists, the International Union of Geological Sciences,
And they get together and talk about this and vote
now and then as to when what, when one era
(31:20):
began another one ended, in why and that sort of stuff. Well,
they had to vote the other day, and of the
seventeen scientists who vote on this sort of thing, only
a handful voted for calling our current age the anthroposine
era the human age. Overwhelming to surprise, a lot of
(31:41):
your like climate activists, to the big surprise of a
lot of climate activists, overwhelmingly the scientists said, now, you know,
it's just too new. I've read a whole bunch of
the different quotes, too new to too many criteria involved.
I don't know scientists, but seems pretty clear to me
that when we've had all these different ages that have
(32:02):
been hundreds of millions of years long, to all of
the sudden decide that the human the most recent human age,
which really only goes back, you know, a couple hundred
years of really perhaps affecting the planet, is clearly a
new age. Seems like a bad idea and would have
been a political move and an effort to get the
climate change crowd all whipped up and have an argument.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I'm happy to see that. The scientist said, Nah, not
even close.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Really, yeah, yeah, I uh, I'm just looking at the
Wikipedia for this, and there are different systems and scales
and stuff, and way more ages than I was aware of. Yeah,
how do you feel about the hollow scene age? That's
what we're currently living in, right, it's a hollow scene man.
Well now that was uh, well wait or is it? Yeah,
(32:50):
you're right, it is.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Yeah, that's where we're currently living through the Hollow Scene age,
and so the debate was over whether or not that
had come to a close in the Anthropocene age, where
human beings at affected the planet so much that the
human age would be declared, but they decided to not,
and it wasn't even closed again.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Like I said, I'm happy to hear that.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Judy and I just bought a vacation home in Upper Triassic.
By the way, it is so beautiful, the views amazing.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Everybody's had this experiment experience. Who's ever been to a
museum or looked into this sort of thing or watched
a National geographic show. The planet is so damned old,
and these various periods of time are so long. A
lot of your favorite dinosaurs didn't live within one hundred
million years.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Of each other.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
I mean, it's just it's a mind boggling to think
of the amount of time, and then to start getting
into an age that you're concerned about, going back to
the late eighteen hundreds when we started having gas powered engines.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Come on, yeah, yeah, So I'm just troubled.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You're saying my kids TV shows of the of Saturday morning,
we're inaccurate in their portrayal of all your major hot
dinosaurs ganging up on say a family that had been
mysteriously transported to that era. You're saying that was inaccurate.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
The period of time that human beings have been the
dominant beast on Earth is so short, it's just a
blink of an eye. And then the period of that
blink of an eye where we have, you know, been
really pumping plastics into the landfills and using combustable engineses tiny.
In that blink of an eye.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
One could argue that given that the damage that's been
done is spectacular, although you know, I always maintain I
think there are probably geological forces at work that we
don't understand until they start. I mean, for instance, people
have commented that some of the particulate matter in the
(34:52):
atmosphere actually reflects sunlight out and lowers the temperature, and
if we were to clean it all up, there'd be
much more direct s and it would raise the heat.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So I just wonder if some of this stuff is
self correcting. There is no positive to plastics in the ocean,
for instance. No, no, I'm super anti that. But having
said that, ninety percent of it or a huge percentage
of it comes from Asia. So what am I gonna
do about it? Towed around my disgusting canvas bag to
my infrequent grocery store trips.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
No, give me a damn bag.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Plus we only all get what is it? Three score
and ten years? The Bible says, roughly seventy eighty years
on Earth.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I don't know. I can only worry about so many things.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
I'm hoping for four score in seven years, just in
honor of Lincoln as a Lincoln File eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
You can do that. Maybe have you ever hung out
with me?
Speaker 5 (35:43):

this unbelievable radio program.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
And there are a rare few in media who are
actually standing up for a liberty and be responsible governance
(00:46):
and media. John Stossel is highly placed among them. Came
across some work he did the other day his website,
I believes John stossel dot com. There's all sorts of
good content there. And if you don't know John Stossel's act,
it's it's absolutely worth knowing him is He is a
good egg. He's one of those guys on the rare
occasions I disagree with him, his opinion is always worth
(01:07):
hearing because it helps you, you know, wrestle with your
own and make your own stronger.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
At any rate, this first clip is a.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Little bit long ish, but there was no natural breaking in,
and it's very very good talking about the unbelievably dishonest
media we have right now, which you know it's not
news to anybody, but I thought he'd put it pretty eloquently.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
We'll start with seventy Michael, have.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
You noticed how some in the media just suck up
to some politicians.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm struck just in your presence, struck in her presence,
looking you in the eye, with your passion that you
were displaying. Republicans are treated differently, if I may.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Finished this answer, Well, let me just I'm gonna I'm
gonna go ahead and interrupt you here.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
In the FBI.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I mean, we have just my question, though, governor, excuse me.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Aggressive interviews are easy to notice, but some bias is
more subtle.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
For example, what a great campaign.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Media have always covered Iowa caucus victory speeches.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
We're gonna want to listen in very very closely, thank
you all.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
But this year when Trump won, thank you wet, CNN
cut away from his speech.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Here he is right now under my voice. You hear
him repeating his anti immigrant rhetoric. Actually, no, Jake, you
hear him. We don't.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
CNN wouldn't let us actually listen to Trump and decide
for ourselves. MSNBC showed one of Trump's speech. Rachel Maddow said, we.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Will let you know if there's any news made.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Madows says it's not responsible to broadcast Trump live because
he lies so much. Wow, we reporters can point that
out instead of cutting away when he talks. I've repeatedly
reported on Trump's lies. Trump lies even about unimportant things
like the crowd at his inauguration.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
The ratings of his TV show. But Biden lies too.
Here he lies about doing well in law school. Get
it up in the top half of my class.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Biden now concedes he did not graduate in the top
half of his law school class.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He also lied when he said I.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Have never discussed if my son were on my brother
or anyone else having to do with their businesses.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And that's good stuff right there, and appalling. I'd be
interested to look into who lies the most and how
consequential they are. I think Biden's in the in the
running with Donald Trump for exaggerations or lies, absolutely, but
they would never consider cutting away from Biden's not involved anymore,
but back in the day cutting away from his big
(03:36):
speech because he lies so much.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's it's it's appalling you, mainstream media.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
You want to drive Trump's skeptical voters into Trump's arms.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Keep doing that. God, that's so damned maddening.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
How'd you like Jake Tapper, who I used to think
more highly of with his well, you hear as his
anti immigrant rhetoric. Oh yeah, because it's only like, what
a ten percent or so of the racist, hateful Americans
who want the border secure?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Right, Jake?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Why so between sixty and ninety percent of Americans agree
with Trump on the border stuff, depending on which question
you're talking about. But that's anti immigrant rhetoric, So we
won't even run the speech. That's freaking insane from a
journalistic standpoint.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
More good stuff from the great John Stossel. Next clip
seventy one.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Shouldn't be surprised that the media treat Republicans differently. For
every Republican in newsrooms, there are ten Democrats. And now
NPR has actually hired this woman to be its new CEO.
She not only tweeted Trump's a racist, but during BLM
looting said sure, looting is counterproductive, but it's fine because
(04:48):
what they're looting comes from a system of oppression.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
She's now the boss of government funded radio. Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yes, wow, yeah, yeah, she that chick is a This
is far about her when she got hired.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
If you miss it, we're.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Further down this road than we've been in my lifetime,
don't you think?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh yeah, oh, one hundred percent yeah. Absolutely. Next clip,
here's another example.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
The governor of Texas refuses to give in to federal law.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Recently, reporters suddenly got very upset about rule of law.
The governor of Texas refuses to give.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
In to federal law.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The media can't believe that Texas politicians put up a
fence and won't remove it even after the Feds told
them to. But when it comes to sanctuary cities, the
tone is very different.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Communities that shield undocumented immigrants by not reporting offenses to
immigration enforcement.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
They choose not to follow federal immigration laws.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
They simply choose not to follow the law. They don't
refuse like Texas does. The governor of Texas refuses to
give in to federal law.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right, yeah, yep. Egregious and obvious. One more from Ostocles
is a seventy six Michael.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Libertarians get trashed, Republicans get interrupted and their speech is
cut off, but Democrats largely get a pass, even if you.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Can't tell what they say. Beer brute. Here it is
used to make to prove Beard in his fine oooh
Worth riders. Thanks for the great legs, But there is
some good news today.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
More people ignore leftist media c a n's primetime viewership
fell behind the history channels. Recently, more people now get
their news from independent journalists who publishing places like substack
and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Like us.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It's a good trend because we're more thoughtful than the
silly people on TV.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
The chalk and chocolate chip. Nah good, clip good, John Stossel.
When do they ever ask Donald Trump?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
What did you order? If they get a chance to
ask him a question outside a restaurant or something, give
me a break.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I know who is it that was pointing this out
from the convention? Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Mark Halpern in his newsletter, he said, it's just true.
When reporters see a big player who's a Democrat at
the convention, they run up. So how do you think
it's gone so far? If they see a Republican they
run up?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You said, JD.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Vance was right about blah blah blahs.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Just the way it is. Mm hmm yep. We have
to be better on the right side of the aisle.
It just is the world we live in. Is it fair?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Is it honorable? Is it patriotic? No? None of the above,
And yet it is.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I realized Biden's well, I keep saying he's no longer anything.
He's the freaking president of the United States. He's the
most powerful man on planet Earth. Maybe number two, but
certainly in the top two. And you know he's an afterthought.
But anyway, that particular clip of him being indecipherable I
hadn't heard before.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Wow, that's a goodness, some serious garblage.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
The fact that he would have still been the candidate
today and for another two months outside of that debate. God,
I wish I could do the parallel universe where he
didn't debate until September or October like they normally do, right, right,
And how the media would still be saying things like
(08:24):
cheap fakes, I can't keep up with him, or behind
the scenes, he's better than I've ever seen him. I'd
still be saying that, and you know, they would.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Be right right.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And imagine the panic that would have set in after
the disastrous debate, because it was inevitable that it would
be disastrous and his senile.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
And part of the panic was because Kamala Harris was
a know nothing who couldn't possibly win. But now that's
all thrown aside. She's the greatest thing that's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, wild again.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
If you'd gone into a coma in June and walking
up now you'd say.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Wait, what they yet, we're all just supposed to say yes,
yes with his trade face.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Since we're probably gonna move away from presidential politics after this,
I'll say I used to say, I think Trump understands
the modern moment we're in better than anybody else, certainly
when he was running against Hillary and maybe against Biden.
I think right now, and this is none of this
is good, but I think he realized where we are
with celebrity culture and what people pay attention to and
(09:28):
what we don't. I think he just understood that intuitively
different the Democrats might be onto it now, positions on
your website, Hey grandpa nice do want interviews?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Why?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
They might just understand where we are culturally media wise
in a way that now Trump doesn't quite understand.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Kamo's campaign isn't studying Bill Clinton. They're studying the Kardashians, right,
or Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, yes, Michael, people want to be entertained, not informed.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Don't got time for that or don't or yeah, all
kinds of different things. Just you know, like my side,
I don't want to hear any negative the thing about
my side. So I'm fine with no interview. In fact,
I've heard people say out loud, I think it's a
good idea for not doing interviews. It's the most important
thing is that we defeat Donald Trump. So I'm fine
with the Democrats are saying this. I'm fine with the
fact that she has taken no positions because it's that
(10:22):
important that we beat Trump. Wow, that's where we are.
She What if she gets elected president without having a
position on our website or having done an interview? What
does that say for where we are is the world's
oldest democracy.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I hope Lincoln and Douglas rise from their graves and
rain heavy blows down upon anybody who thinks that way.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
See, I hope people are beaten by skeletons in the street.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's your answer, Well, ghosts, you know, ghost scot haunted,
bipartisan ghosts.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Though, all right, I was looking for you. You're a
political science major. I was hoping for more, But.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
No, I want to go with ghost ghostly patriots to
to to haunt the living.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, I got at least I have a policy.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
So it's not pretty good to just see how many
people are behind us. Caleb Horse went to school with
the support of the community Monday morning and is left
wondering if he'll be punished for flying the American flag.
Corset says he was told last week by adding public
schools to have the flag off by Monday. Instead, an
entourage of the Red, white, and Blue showed up beside him.
(11:57):
The students I talked to told me they haven't heard
anything about punishment yet and they think with all the support,
it's not likely.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
One senior I.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Talk to says it's not over for them and they're
going to continue flying their flags daily. Right now, it's
unclear what's next for these students, but they did tell
me they help. Other students will join in as they
continue to keep their flags on their trucks.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
First of all, the kid's name is Horsed, not Horse.
Sounds like he's a character in a child's book Ethan
Horse and Caleb Horse anyway, So that's Edmund Oklahoma, and
I will skip to the end. This is brilliant proof
once again that there is a rot in America's school systems.
(12:37):
And if you think you live in a red state,
a red city, whatever your local schools, damn good chance
they are a deep, deep blue region. Teaching your kids
you don't occurred to me the way to pitch this
to you, because I believe this to my heart to
be true. In fact, I know it to be true.
Getting the kids is the lynch pin. It is the critical,
(13:01):
critical part of the progressive plan to take over America
and to get rid of Western civilization, bring in a
new Neo Marxist utopia. It is the one indispensable strategy
that they must be successful at.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's the way they look at its.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Plus the constantly pushing it's had an effect on me,
Like I talked about when I got back from my vacation,
driving through thousands of miles of what I would call
normal America as opposed to the part I live.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
In, it was like.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
It shouldn't have been shocking to me, and it shouldn't
have made me like slightly weirdly uncomfortable overt displays of
patriotism or religious belief or whatever. I've been hammered on
it so often that it's had an effect, even as
like a grown man who came into it with, you know,
(13:54):
some solid beliefs. So you're young. Of course it would
to where it just it would. It would get to
where un American flag is a little in your face,
so I probably shouldn't, right.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So they're in Edmund, Oklahoma, of all places.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
This kid had an American flag on the back of
his pickup truck, which happens to be red, white and blue,
and he was told, as you heard, you got till
Monday to take that off because well, according to an
Edmund Public Schools spokesperson, students are not allowed to display
or bring any kind of flag on campus to limit
distraction and create a safe environment. And because they're progressives
(14:27):
and neo Marxists, whether they know it or not, they
do not consider the flag of the United States of
America to be any different from a Pride flag or
a you know, Broncos flag or whatever else.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's a perfectly good rule with the exclusion of the
US flag and the state flag of Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, how can you make an exception for one flag
because that's you're anaty or nation. My answer is you're
an idiot. You know what I'm going with his argument,
it's better than mine.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
And so instead of taking down the flag, he showed
up with one hundred or more other trucks in car
flying American flags a protest there at the school.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
In a video posted Monday, and I should have asked
for this audio. We don't have the audio of Ryan Walters,
do he?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I don't think we do. I have praised him lavishly
in the past.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He's the Oklahoma state Superintendent of Schools who is an
avowed saying patriotic conservative, an American. He says, no school
in Oklahoma should tell students they can't wave an American flag.
We've had Americans die for that flag, die for students
to have the right to carry the flag, to wave
the flag, to be proud of the flag. My department
(15:38):
right now is working on guidelines that will be issuing
to districts to ensure that no student is ever targeted
for having an American flag, and also that our schools
will promote patriotism. We want our young people to be patriotic,
we want them to love this country, and we're going
to continue to support our young people to have the
greatest understanding of American history in the country and to
be proud of our country.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
That is so dumb on so many levels. See, we've
got a government school run by the federal government that
set the standards and fund the school. But you're not
allowed to have the flag of that government.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That's crazy because that's co equals any other symbol or
flag or sign. You people are stupid. Needs to quote
my partner or idiots. I don't want to quit. Yeah,
that's unbelievable, and I've got so much more information on
the rot in America's schools, but you know that'll be
a thing that will certainly continue on.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
There's a short story for you. It doesn't take very long.
Every parent is worried about this. Family takes their four
year old to a museum. Kid accidentally smashes a thirty
five hundred year old priceless jar.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Doh.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Four year old just grabs hold of a jar to
look inside it tips over, smashes into pieces.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yesh, you gotta put that thing behind glass or something.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, a lot of cool museums don't because it's kind
of cool to not have everything sure protecting them behind glass.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But yeah, that's unfortunate. What happened they jailed the kid?
Arrest him? I don't know, I'd have to read the
whole thing. And who's got the time?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Now on with the infotainment.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
If I love company holiday parties, you can get to
be with people that you work with all day long
for more hours, and you get to say I love
your ugly Christmas sweater and they're like, that's just my
sweater and you get to be like, hey, remind me,
do you go buy Steve or Steven?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And he's like it's Mark.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
And your boss tries to crack a joke and everyone
around them does the employment laughter like and you get
to say no work talk, and then you realize that
you have nothing to talk about, and you get to
station yourself right in front of the food platter so
that if you don't want to talk to the person
standing in front of you anymore, you just shove something
into your mouth. And at the end of the night
(18:30):
you get to do an Irish exit where everyone's like,
where's Paul's he gett us drinks up at the bar. Nope,
Paul's at home.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I have had a great, great time at many a
company Christmas party in my life, like great time. I
don't know who started the idea that they're miserable, and
then of course the trend toward well, we can't have
them anymore because all the awful things that happen. What
I went to a million Christmas parties one time, something
(19:00):
that happened and everybody's better for it having happened.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It was hilarious. Yeah, I suppose.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
They ranged from great to okay? Were you hammered at
some of them? Most of them that were great? Do
you think?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I'm sure I was, But they but they used to
throw a lot of places I worked through real Christmas
parties like nice restaurant, nicer than I would have gone
to on my own. With nicer drinks than I was
going to get on my own. And then that, at
least in our industry, dribbled away over time, and then
over that hole, that whole ridiculousness of it's just too
dangerous with people getting out of hand and the sexual
(19:38):
harassment really liability blob right right, So that choked it out.
That I just happened to run into somebody twice this week,
two different people who had real company Christmas parties, and
I thought, okay, those still exists certain certain industries.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
That's that's nice to hear.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, And you get to see your coworkers in a
completely different setting and meet their families and have some
human relationship with them.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That helps the business. It helps the business, it really does. Yeah. Yep.
A couple of things for you.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Rob Schneider, you know Rob Schneider from Sarah Ive way
back in the day making copies, the copy of Guy
and then his friends with Adam Sandler, so Adam Sandler
put him in a whole bunch of his movies, so
that helped make him richer. Also, Rob Schneider announced he's
launching a new all woman talk show, which will be
the opposite of the view and will not shame people
for their politics. It's supposed to be an all inclusive
they actually have different points of view.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
The view well, I love that.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Rob Schneider's a really interesting guy. He's a solid thinker.
He is good presence online search.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Him and Bill Maher as he sat in Bill Maher's
basement and talked for like an hour and a half
about politics a couple weeks ago is really interesting. The
Lincoln Project, which I like to bring up just because
I hate those people so much, is a bunch of
Republican hacks who decided to be anti Trump and run
a scam to make money, and a whole bunch of
you probably are anti Trump, probably gave him money. Never Trump.
(20:59):
Lincoln Project paid millions in twenty twenty four to companies
owned by themselves.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Shocking. Oh wow, that's weird.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
So much of politics, you really need to spend a
lot of time on any charity or political group of
any kind to figure out if they're doing what you
think they're doing with your money, because they appeal to
your emotion and then they keep a lot of it,
whether it's Black Lives Matter, the Lincoln Project, Al Sharpen
what he's trying to do for the guy that dangle
penny choked or or whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
So many of the packs that ask for your money
because if you're with Trump like we are, if you
think Trump is hitler like we do, give twenty dollars
now and all the relatives are on the payroll and
they all get rich.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, U, this is too long. Better save that for
next hour.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Next hour. You say there's another hour, You're darn right
there is. We do four hours every single day.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Are you sure?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
If you missed it the podcast Armstrong and getting on demand.
Go into an all Spanish Catholic Mass tonight, which will
be interesting. My son's doing it. My son's doing it
for extra credit in his Spanish class. And uh, I
have a feeling I'll hear a lot of Spanish Spanish
Spanish Jesus Spanish Spanish Spanish Jesus. And that's little God. See,
(22:17):
I didn't even know that word. I know, I know
very little Spanish unless they say casada or.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Wow. This is heading in a really objectionable time. For
some reason, I'm not going to I'm not going to
understand anything other than Jesus.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
And the Lord is the sombrero over us they'll be
explaining in Spanish and you'll say, wait a minute, sombrero,
I get that's good. Uh, you gotta open Google Transfer
all right, right, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Via condos English God, even when it's in English, a
Catholic mass is difficult. You gotta like, look around, we
kneeling now, were standing up. We're not standing up.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We're standing. They can tell you're an outsider. Then they
give you the hairy eyeball.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
You know what your cats sitting?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes, indeed, my daughter has two absolutely delightful cats. They
are kind of adolescent age. They haven't quite mellowed out
into super chill cats lay on top of the sofa
and just look at you. They still want to play
a lot and stuff, so they're they're a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Do they pee on things? That's always my concern if
I'm watching.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Anybody, No, no, no, no, they're very very well littered
boxy train. Naturally.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
The cats do that naturally, really, unless they have some
sort of problem. But they've been delightful. They're a lot
of fun. They're so sweet, and I'm not allergic to
them by some miracle. But Judy and I have agreed
that like the last evening, I walk the dog, I
run up, I play with the cats because they need
(23:51):
some interaction stuff like that. I go downstairs and I
feed the dog. Then I take a shower, and then
I blah blah blah. Then I got to go to
deal with the cats because Judy is out, and and
then I go out to the garage and this frog
or toad or something's jumping around.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I'm like, I'm living.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm Doctor Doolittle over here. But it's a lot of work,
it's a lot of responsibility, having two more beasts in
the house. Yeah, or Paxster is so old and I
don't know if he's hard at hearing or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They don't meow.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Upstairs because they're the restrict restricted to one upstairs bedroom.
And they meow and we look at Pastor and he's like,
what what are you looking at me for? So he's
totally unaware.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I'm a pet fan in general, but Jesus, the pet
thing is just it. It's beyond where it was thirty
years ago, twenty years ago. It's just And yes, can
you afford it? Do you have time for it? Does
your lifestyle allow for this? And the traveling with the pets.
While I was staying in a hotel over Thanksgiving, nice
(24:50):
hotel that allows dogs, and most of the people I
saw having their dogs in the hotel, they looked miserable, trying.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
To deal with it. Is stressed out, stressed out.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
And I saw mom and dad trying to get the
dog out of the room with the kids, and you
hold that, you hold the dog, I'll bring them. He's like,
is this fun for anybody having the dog with you
on this trip or or would have been just fine
to have.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The dog at home or not have a dog.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
You talk about facets of modern life. I don't get
I love dogs. I love my dog, but he's not
coming on any damn trip. Sorry, he's not coming to the.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Store with me.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I've talked to my son about this. I said, you
got to get this early in the relationship. I mean,
are they dog rides in the truck with you wherever
you go, person sleeps in the bed with you, person
goes to the restaurant or not? And are you because
he's a no way and uh, because that's it, that's it.
That could be a deal breaker because one of you
(25:50):
has to give on something that's obviously very important to
you right, animals in the car. I hate it absolutely, Oh.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Really I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
I don't mind that for some reason, but I just
the logistics of trying to do things and tend to
a dog.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Katie, what the side of this are you on? Are
you the dog goes everywhere? Person? Oh, my dog has
a car seat. Sure, that's absolutely fine, But I don't
want to do it.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
He actually went to a restaurant with us and was
very well behaved. It was amazing, cool, it's fantastic. I
just I don't want to do it. Miss Now, I
don't on what it's not on something else to worry about. Yeah,
it's funny, little he's your best friend.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You do have the situation though, where you upset on
the air that you were working toward a family and
so you got the whole messing thing going that that
that's that's different too.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, a little baby crazy? Yeah, exactly. You've got sweaters
and stuff, that's what that's what? Oh lord?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, my daughter in the cats place place. It's it's
so clearly rehearsing.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Really cool. Fine, but yeah, that's awesome. I think that's natural.
Cart sure, right, quick question for Katie, when you took
the dog to the restaurant. Did you guys order him
a meal?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I did order him a plain beef patty, and he
thoroughly enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
All right, So we're dealing with a nut job here, folks.
She's sweet, kind of nutty.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Do you take him through the drive through at Starbucks
where they have.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
What do they call him? Puppet pop?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
No, I have not done that. Yeah, you're well you
don't love them, then I guess, Oh wod.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
I was watching that family fight their dog at the
at the hotel, trying to get the kids and the
dog and all the stuff, and I thought that freaking
looks miserable.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, they look miserable.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Oh you know, I mean mine twelve pounds, so I
can just pick him up.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's easy. That is a difference.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I've always been a big dog person. Joe and I
have talked about this over the years. I've always liked
big dogs, always had big dogs. Then Henry won to pug.
We got a pug. Here's something awful handy about the
tiny little dog. You just pick up here, come here,
setting you over here for now?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh yeah yeah, And housing and feeding and cleaning up
after a seventy five pound dog as well.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
It's many multiples of the little fella.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Although I did love who's that against a chihuam owner,
But either you heard about that or you didn't, you know.
On the other end of the lifespan Katie to various
people who may or may not be like rehearsing parenthood.
When Delaney left the house, it was when she, you know,
went off to college. It was a couple of years
(28:18):
after our dog Onyx had died, who was a black
lab too, and I was so disoriented by not having
another beast to care for.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
We got a dog.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And whoever you are, I should remember your name. Some
emailer wrote, Joe, are you out of your friggin mind?
You finally got an empty nest, You got all this
freedom and you got a big dog.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
What's the matter with you? And he was right on
one level.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Although Backster is my buddy and I love him, But yeah,
this time, and Judy has put her foot down and
it's fine. I need some sort of dad detox program
so I can just get used to it's just the
two of us, and I'm not caring for another beast
who needs my attention.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Does free you up a lot? When you don't have
a pet. Yeah, and let's go here or there or whatever.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
But you know, as some listeners know, I had a
minor child under my roof for twenty five consecutive years,
and it's not easy to transition out of that life.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Sound it's not effortless. I can't even imagine. I will
have to imagine in about ten years, eight years. I guess,
quick question for.
Speaker 5 (29:33):

Speaker 3 (29:37):

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I'm Strong and get each Other.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
You've certainly heard of the Jurassic period of time because
you got all those movies right, or maybe in school
at some point had to memorize all the different periods
of world history?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Did you have to do that?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I remember having that memorized at one point, and I'd
be another one of those that I would look back
on and think, was that just an epis an experiment
in memorization? Or was I supposed to hang on to
that for the rest of my life when the Pleocene
era ended, in the Jurassic era began, and.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
How long that was just going to say, I'm I'm
placed to scene man any other eras a waste of time.
I don't even want to look at your bones if
you're from a different era.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
But usually there hundreds of millions of years long, these
different periods of time, And there was a group of
scientists that were trying to get a new one going
for now, because man has so changed the planet that we.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Needed a new name.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
But before we get to that, the Earth is about
four point six billion years old, And there is actually
a particular group of scientists that decide these things. The
grandly named chapters of our planet's history are governed by
a body of scientists, the International Union of Geological Sciences,
And they get together and talk about this and vote
now and then as to when what, when one era
(31:20):
began another one ended, in why and that sort of stuff. Well,
they had to vote the other day, and of the
seventeen scientists who vote on this sort of thing, only
a handful voted for calling our current age the anthroposine
era the human age. Overwhelming to surprise, a lot of
(31:41):
your like climate activists, to the big surprise of a
lot of climate activists, overwhelmingly the scientists said, now, you know,
it's just too new. I've read a whole bunch of
the different quotes, too new to too many criteria involved.
I don't know scientists, but seems pretty clear to me
that when we've had all these different ages that have
(32:02):
been hundreds of millions of years long, to all of
the sudden decide that the human the most recent human age,
which really only goes back, you know, a couple hundred
years of really perhaps affecting the planet, is clearly a
new age. Seems like a bad idea and would have
been a political move and an effort to get the
climate change crowd all whipped up and have an argument.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I'm happy to see that. The scientist said, Nah, not
even close.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Really, yeah, yeah, I uh, I'm just looking at the
Wikipedia for this, and there are different systems and scales
and stuff, and way more ages than I was aware of. Yeah,
how do you feel about the hollow scene age? That's
what we're currently living in, right, it's a hollow scene man.
Well now that was uh, well wait or is it? Yeah,
(32:50):
you're right, it is.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Yeah, that's where we're currently living through the Hollow Scene age,
and so the debate was over whether or not that
had come to a close in the Anthropocene age, where
human beings at affected the planet so much that the
human age would be declared, but they decided to not,
and it wasn't even closed again.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Like I said, I'm happy to hear that.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Judy and I just bought a vacation home in Upper Triassic.
By the way, it is so beautiful, the views amazing.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Everybody's had this experiment experience. Who's ever been to a
museum or looked into this sort of thing or watched
a National geographic show. The planet is so damned old,
and these various periods of time are so long. A
lot of your favorite dinosaurs didn't live within one hundred
million years.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Of each other.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
I mean, it's just it's a mind boggling to think
of the amount of time, and then to start getting
into an age that you're concerned about, going back to
the late eighteen hundreds when we started having gas powered engines.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Come on, yeah, yeah, So I'm just troubled.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You're saying my kids TV shows of the of Saturday morning,
we're inaccurate in their portrayal of all your major hot
dinosaurs ganging up on say a family that had been
mysteriously transported to that era. You're saying that was inaccurate.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
The period of time that human beings have been the
dominant beast on Earth is so short, it's just a
blink of an eye. And then the period of that
blink of an eye where we have, you know, been
really pumping plastics into the landfills and using combustable engineses tiny.
In that blink of an eye.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
One could argue that given that the damage that's been
done is spectacular, although you know, I always maintain I
think there are probably geological forces at work that we
don't understand until they start. I mean, for instance, people
have commented that some of the particulate matter in the
(34:52):
atmosphere actually reflects sunlight out and lowers the temperature, and
if we were to clean it all up, there'd be
much more direct s and it would raise the heat.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So I just wonder if some of this stuff is
self correcting. There is no positive to plastics in the ocean,
for instance. No, no, I'm super anti that. But having
said that, ninety percent of it or a huge percentage
of it comes from Asia. So what am I gonna
do about it? Towed around my disgusting canvas bag to
my infrequent grocery store trips.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
No, give me a damn bag.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Plus we only all get what is it? Three score
and ten years? The Bible says, roughly seventy eighty years
on Earth.
