Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio from the
George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty and he
Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We have an.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Exciting update on the death of Gene Hackman. I didn't
think there would be anything to this story ever again.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hum exciting? No, can we have a second take? Please?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What's wrong with the word exciting?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
A man and his wife have died. Their bodies were found.
I disassociate myself Gene Hacker this now. Our sources are
rock solid, the Daily Mail and TMZ.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, TMZ is pretty solid. Yeah, Daily Mail is pretty good.
This this definitely has the feel of it might turn
out to be wrong, but Gene Hackman and his wife
were found partially mummified at the couple's mansion, with pills
strewn in their bathroom. Miss Arakawa, aged sixty four, found
decomposed with bloating on her face, mummification in their hands
(01:12):
and feet.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sheriff said. Hackman was found to have the same signs
of decomposition as his wife. He was in the mudroom
of their house, fully clothed wearing sunglasses, which is interesting.
Two maintenance workers discovered the bodies let's see Wednesday in
the afternoon Boba. The workers told investigators they had not
(01:35):
seen them for two weeks. Both appeared to have been
dead for some time. Arakawa discovered lying on the bathroom
floor of the couple's homes home with an open prescription
bottle of pills scattered across a nearby countertop. And let's see,
Hackman found dead in a mudroom off the couple's kitchen.
The warrants said they call it an arrest warrant in
the Daily Mail, but they do not ever refer to
(01:57):
anybody being arrested or being sought. So I don't know
how it's an arrest warrant per se. Can you have
anything more than that? No signs of a gas leak?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
That?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
That was That was the last little part of it
is that CMZ is calling it a search warrant.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
But yeah, here's what I think happened. Better, here's what
I think happened. First of all, we need an egyptologist
to call in. How long does it take for a
body to begin the mummification process once you die and
you're just laying there?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
He said, right, a month or three weeks or a while.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I think Gene Hackman, who is ninety five, his wife
is sixty five.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
They'd been married for thirty years, so.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
They got together when he was you know, he was
in his sixties and she was in her thirties. But
I think he, uh what you made that face, Katie?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What was that face?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I just what was the what did you say?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Half half your age plus two or seven years plus seven? Yeah,
thirty years the decency ratio, Yes, d thirty year old
woman marrying a six year old man.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yet that's definitely definitely that's dad. Okay, I'm glad you're
here to say that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Uh so, because he could to you and because she
could works both ways, right, he married, it's super very famous,
got a.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Judgment here, and probably had a really cool.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Life there for quite a while.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I think he comes into the mudroom, he's ninety five
years old, dies, somehow, hits his head, has a heart attack. Whatever,
they'll figure it out. She can't go on now that
he's gone. She downs a bunch of pills and dies.
Now why the dog died though I haven't figured that
one out. The dogs, he's both the owners and I'm
never going to go on a walk again, so he
sticks his head in the oven.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
They found pills all over the bathroom floor. So maybe
the dog got into the pills, because they said the
dog was about ten to fifteen feet away from his
wife back on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, that could be conceivable. Or maybe the dog starved,
although I don't know now he was generally a starving dog. Wills, yes,
And I was going to try to be a bit
more delicate than that. But obviously your filter, along with
your respiratory tract, is sick and not functioning properly. So
we'll forgive you. I guess it would be good if
(04:20):
you would would say you are on cold medicine. That
would be you denied it earlier. I suggest, as your attorney,
you retract that and say, oh I forgot I took powerful.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Drunks, all of them. So anyway, that's my theory.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The very old hackman dies, she's distraught and depressed and
takes a bunch of pills to overdose.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It's not impossible, but the man was ninety five. If
you have not processed the fact that your spouse might
pass when he's ninety five, you've got some serious psychological problems.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
That reminds me of when BB King died at age
ninety I think, and then his daughter said there had
to be foul play, and that was that was like, heyah, right,
ninety nine year old profoundly obese men don't just drop dead.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sighing is a miss here.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Immensely fat, ancient bluesmen don't just suddenly pass away.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
But so your point, you wouldn't have thought she'd have
been too shocked to ever. I mean, at ninety five,
you gotta walk into the house practically every day thinking
I wonder if he's still upright.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, you've certainly worked through this, you know, the possibility.
I've got to admit. I was absolutely certain, well not certain.
I thought it was highly likely it was some sort
of carbon monoxide lead or something like that. The fact
that they were in different rooms, different states of you know, activity,
the dog was not with them in the room with
the faultye heater or what have you, that there's something
(05:54):
very odd that's gone on here.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
No doubt mummification. I wonder how long that takes.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
M last person who saw him seems to be a
couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
The Google says that in extremely dry conditions, this mummification
process can start within a week.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh really. And they're in New Mexico, right, beautiful Santa Fe.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, and he lived.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
In one of the very very cool artsy partsy town
if you've never been in Santa Fe. And he lived
in one of those adobe houses. I have a friend
who lives in one of those. They're like four hundred
years old. You're not allowed to do anything to them
because they're historic relics, but they're very cool to live in,
and lots of artists there. And he was really into
painting and sculpting. I guess these last several decades when
(06:40):
he wasn't acting.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I hope his funnel years were happy and satisfying. And
I hope the end to both he and his his
and his way too young to be croaking mysteriously wife.
It was not gruesome. I suppose the truth will out
at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
So, but we we woke up to because we got
the alerts overnight Gene Hackman is dead. Then you look,
you know, one sentence below it, and it's he and
his wife and his dog are dead. And then immediately
the police say no suspicion of foul play. So that
sends your mind worrying. Okay, well then what the heck?
And that's how you come up with what you know,
Joe's theory or whatever. But now, when you got the
(07:22):
mummification thing.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Why did that police say that? Why is that significant?
Just nobody found the body for a week.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Because the body's been sitting around for weeks. How could
you immediately jump to no foul play. I don't know
how you would.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do that, no sign of any trauma. But even then,
somebody could be choked or or something like that, or asphyxiated. Yeah,
sometimes the cop shops say things they shouldn't many times.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
If your body's down the road to be in a mummy,
I don't know, it'd be kind of hard to tell
exactly what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Nicee your point, you'll.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Probably see pictures by the end of the day from
TMZ the.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Old mummy road down the road being a mummy. Any
chance we could change topics? Now? Before you know anybody
else is offended.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well, we gotta we gotta take a break, and then
we'll get into.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Think about the things we've done. Yes, agreed.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Oh man, my favorite actor of all time, gifted man,
you know what we could do here?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yes? Please, yes, the clip of one of his great performance. Yes,
how about maybe it can save the segment.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
How about Gene Hackman, my favorite actor of all time
in the fabulous movie Hoosiers.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
There's a condition and tournament play, and not talk about
the next step until you've climbed the one in front
of you.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm sure going to the state finals is beyond.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Your wildest dream.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So let's just keep it right there and.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, their
fancy uniforms, and remember I got you here. Focus on
the fundamentals we've gone over time and time again, and
most important, don't get caught up thinking about winning or
losing this game. If you put your effort in concentration
into playing to your potential.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
To be the best that you can be.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end
of the game.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
In my book, we're going to be winners.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Okay, all right, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Let me hear.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Cat.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I wish, I wish I could listen to that speech
before I did every athletic thing I ever did in
high school, because my mind was always saying, God, you
lose to this ilk wrestling you lose to this guy.
You're a laughing stock. I mean, I can hear the
jokes people are going to be making on the ride.
This the right mindsets, Well exactly, I needed a pre
mummified Gene Hackman giving me that boosting speech.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh my god, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
We've got more on the way.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Stay here.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Barnard College is the private women's liberal arts college that
is part of Columbia University. So they're together in this
little thing here Barnard in Columbia that we're about to
talk about. It's all around the same issue last year
when everything blew up at Colombia pro hamas protesters getting
(10:26):
all crazy and a bunch of students that took over
a building. But before we get to that and the
chanting so car anti settler colonialism, Jack, Columbia had to
apologize yesterday because a teacher in the astronomy department was
found to have inserted political views within the syllabus for
(10:46):
a class session, in violation of university policy. Now some
people are seeing this as Columbia pushing back that they're
starting to get the message a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
The fact that they pushed back at this at all.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
So in your Astronomy class number one in the description
of the class, not number five or ten or further
down the line, but number one Astronomy and Palestine. It says,
throughout this course, we'll be doing some observing of the
celestial bodies. It is important to understand the privileges we
have to be able to even do astronomy without worrying
(11:18):
about being caught in an airstrike as we watch a
genocide unfolding. Gods, it's important to tell the story of Palestine.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Blah blah blah. That is parody.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Surely it's not, And Columbia officially apologized for that and
said that graduate student is not no longer teaching that class.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
How nuts is that? Wow?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Also fitting in with this, a sophomore at Barnard College
that's the women's blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
As I just said, took a video.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Every single English professor I looked at this video, Every
single English professor at the university has free Palestine and
end the genocide stickers on their doors. As this person says,
what the hell does English have to do with the
Middle East? But they all believable have end the genocide
stickers on their doors. Where you're sending your kid to
learn you know, their uh, get their English one oh
(12:08):
one at cost of ninety thousand dollars a year or something,
insaying like that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Tear down the university system, we rebuild it. It'll take
a year. You're going to be a freshman next year.
Go get a job at Chili's, make some money. You'll
be better off anyway. We'll restart colleges next year. Protesters
took over in a building. An employee was it was assaulted.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Classes were disrupted and or canceled, depending on what part
of the campus.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You were on yesterday.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
So you paid ninety grand to go to the college
and your kid couldn't go to class because these pro
Homas protesters took over the building.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The dean had to ask to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I should have grabbed that audio because I saw that
where he said it would it be okay if I
went to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You're allowed to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You're the freaking dean asking these people if you can
go to the How symbolic is that?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I'm no kidding? Uh?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
And the administration admitted they don't know if everyone involved
in the sit in taking over the building is even
a member of the college negotiating, they said they would
not leave, and the negotiating was going on, and I
watched some of this. Barnard Faculties serving as a spokesman,
assured the radical Columbia students that the NYPD would not
(13:14):
be called at least before ten thirty while they tried
to work out their what do you call it in
a negotiation? Your terms? Why are you to have any
terms at all? Leave or you're expelled. There's my term
and arrested. But whatever terms they worked out, the students
did leave at ten thirty before the Columbia said they
(13:34):
were going to call the n WAY the New York
Police Department, and then they gathered off campus and started
their chanting. And this is what it sounded like. Intifada revolution,
(14:10):
et cetera, et cetera. These people are lunatics, dangerous lunatics
that I don't know if they follow the recent news
of what Hamas is doing with the strangling the babies
and then parading them around and mocking Israel and vowing
(14:31):
more October seventh, but there you go, there you go.
That's who some of these enlightened college students are on
the side of do we.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Have the other audio that was in our text string,
Maybe we can grab that. That's what I've been touting
all day long. That is some of my favorite chanting
of all time. Yeah, yeah, okay, well, a bit of
a miscommunication there, We will get that hilariously ironic chanting.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
So what we learned shortly after October seventh seems to
still be the case. The reason the dean is willing
to make himself subservient to these people is he agrees
with them or she.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I don't know if is a he or she.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And to whatever extent they don't agree or aren't comfortable
enforcing their disagreement, that is their customer base. They're getting
tons and tons of money to give these poor dopes
practically zero education. So you don't want to upset that
apple cart.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How about that astronomy thing.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
We should consider ourselves privilege to be able to even
concern ourselves with astronomy while there are air strikes going on.
I mean, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, you've got the University of California system saying that
principles of equity and activism should be in every single class,
and this guy or gal just took it seriously, said Okay, astronomy,
let me think. Yeah, yeah, Palestinians like to look up
at this at Mars. Yeah, so we'll talk about Palestine,
you know, the Palestinians and guys. It's just if I know,
(16:08):
it sounds crazy to say we've got to completely tear
our university system down to the studs because there's not
like one entity in charge of it. So I don't
even know what that would look like, but it's it's
perhaps diseased beyond redemption.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
You combine the things that they teach our kids with the.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Cost, and I mean it's just.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I don't know how you justify sending your kid to
one of these places unless you agree with that ideology.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And it's such a waste of taxpayer money to artificially
subsidize all of this stuff to keep the prices as
high as possible, so the campus folks will always, always
always vote Democrat. Yeah, it's just it's awful. So then
we let it happen. I blame myself.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
So we got some good stuff out of Joe's favorite
new guy, Lutnik coming up.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, Howard Lutnick is Secretary of Commerce who's talking about China.
Really persuasive stuff, and with all of our domestic policy
yelling at each other elon musketctera, nobody's paying attention to
what China is doing right now. They are making aggressive
moves all over the place. I hope you can stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
That more armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Mistakes happen. The important thing is to learn from those unforgivable,
punishable mistakes that will permanently be in permanent files and
move on. So now we have the chanting that we
actually wanted from the nutjob Columbia Barnard students. Dig this
if you will, eighty two. This is the whole Enchilada is.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
Our freedom and poor one another.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Nothing we love.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So these are a bunch of wealthy, privile, wealthy privileged.
I mean, you're among the most privileged young people on
planet Earth that have practice lived, and you're chanting we
have nothing to lose about our chains.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Do they mean like their Taylor Swift Friendship bracelets or
their gold chains around their necks? Or I confuse chanting
like they're Jay kuevera a bunch of privileged Northeastern college
students cause playing that they're brave revolutionaries. What could be
more absurd?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Or that they're put upon in any way and they
have to break something.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Chains of capitalism, probably in white supremacy, the patriarchy, settler colonialism.
Oh man, for kids, they didn't raise themselves, they didn't
teach themselves.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
No, they didn't raise their kids theirselves. I was about
to say, like if my kid, but my kid wouldn't
end up with that point of view. I mean, you'd
have to grow up in a household where people talk
to that way, I guess.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I mean if some kids, kids swept up in the
whole college thing and they completely abandon their families, that's true.
I have heard it happens a lot.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well, and then you come home spouting that crap. Okay,
I know what, I'll release you from your chains. You're released,
and go go take on the world on your own
now because I'm not writing anymore checks. Go take on
the world. You're you're freed from the chains of me
paying for stuff. Go knock it out of the park.
I wish you're sorry about those chains. My bad. Where
(20:13):
did I get off putting the chains of sending you
to one of the most expensive colleges in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That is just astounding, I know, is that a linguine
armed fella, or I realize the to assigned gender is,
you know, completely out of the question among the very
chanting nut jobs we're talking about. But set an linguen
(20:40):
armed fella probably a big beefy angry gal.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Why the size of his by and or triceps matters.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Well, And I suspect it's the aforementioned angry revolutionary woman
who has no idea what to do with her life
and has been trained to be angry and unhappy.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Here's a chick sat as a check.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I'll say it sounds like a beefy a beefy girl.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
But well, just the chanting at the beginning was so
weird and cult like just that.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Well, and they're all standing in a circle holding hands.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, and the childlike voices struck me too, how they
were hardly more than children who had been trained to
chant in the matter of the Red Guard or Hitler
youth or whatever radical you know, movement through history you
want to cite. I picture the children chanting, and that's
(21:32):
what I heard.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, and they are Marxists, I mean a lot of
them are Maoists. So the comparison is not a stretch
at all. Wow China. Wow, I know, I know what
Wow wow Wow, We've gotten off track anyway, speaking of China,
thought this was interesting Howard Lutnik, the new Secretary of Commerce.
(21:56):
Great interview with Brett Bear last night on Special Report
and some of the stuff we played last hour about
how he sees all sorts of opportunities to economize, you know,
combine the census with a postal service, then send out
census forms to your house when a baby is born.
The government knows a baby is born, why do you
have to go to a census office or go through
(22:18):
all sorts of you know, hoops and ladders to get
the forms. Anyway, But the last question I think was
that Brett asked him was what are you worried about?
And I thought his answer was terrific. It's forty nine.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The thing that concerns me most is China.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
There's a giant country who hates us, who wants us
to not have this way of life, and the rest
of the world not so much.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
So.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
The issue is how do you make sure that they
don't run like Huawei?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
And you say, well, why do I care about that?
Speaker 10 (22:51):
Well, if they get in the phone system, they'll turn
it off.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
You know, these kind of things. We've got to protect ourselves,
and we've got to protect.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
Our allies who get week want to buy it cheap, right,
they dumb cars, think about it. We have We won't
let a Chinese car come here, right Europe, let them come.
They started selling a car that costs thirty thousand euro
for seventeen thousand.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The cost was thirty and.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
What volkswagons started saying, we're going to start closing plants.
They're trying to crush us. And we need to pay attention.
And thank god we have Donald Trump in the White
House because he's paying attention. He's going to bring the
pharmaceuticals back, the semiconductors back.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
We have to protect.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
Ourselves and be powerful as the country. We are the
greatest country on earth. We will not cut one penny
from someone who deserves those security someone that deserves medicare.
But let me tell you all that crap of waste
and fraud and abuse that's out of here.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We're going to balance this budget.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
We're going to drive interest rates down, and we're going
to make the greatest America great again.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That's the Secretary of Commerce, who's a China Hawk. Couldn't
love it more. No, man, that's troubling stuff though. Oh yeah, yeah.
Do you see the story where Taiwan's coast guard detained
a cargo ship with a Chinese crew. They're cutting undersea
internet cables, Yeah, trying to cut Taiwan's communication. And the
(24:15):
Wall Street Journal was reporting the other day China and
Russia are expanding cooperation from Alaska to Taiwan in joint
military drills, extremely belligerent military drills all over the map.
That's beautiful. And then I had one more Shina story.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Boy, that dropping.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
And I've not driven a Chinese electric car, but I
guess they're pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I saw that article the other day about how some
you know, they steal everything they have. They've got some
Chinese electric car that looks exactly like Mercedes Benz or
a Porschmart model or whatever. It looks just like operates
really really well, much much cheaper that they sell in China,
and those have become really sought after vehicles and it's
(25:07):
going to be hard to.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Compete with I don't know if that well, that's yeah,
that's the point, and I don't know that particular vehicle
if it's another example of predatory dumping. But the idea is,
you subsidize your car industry to the point that you
can sell well thirty thousand euro worth equality for seventeen
until you drive all your competitors out of business. Then
(25:29):
you start charging the legature price. And that's what tariffs
exist to prevent. And I hope Trump uses those judiciously.
But oh, the other thing I want to mention about
China is that m it was again the Wall Street
General reporting that Chinese money brokers, with the absolute approval
of the government, are now the money launderers of the
drug cartels. Well, you know, just the Mexican cartels, which
(25:50):
are into a hell of a lot more than drugs.
So the unholy cartels now have joined in the access
of a holes with China and Russia in Iran and
North Korea. Great, and they're not only across the southern border,
they're operating in the US. Every American, and actually pretty
(26:11):
good percentage of Americans, are aware of this, But every
American ought to be aware of how aggressively China is
attacking us in every way they can think of, Right
now I'm glad the Trump administration is wide awake to
that reality.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No kidding.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
And then, you know, to get back to how we
started this segment, the fact that we have some of
our best and brightest chanting that the only thing they
have to lose are their chains and crying themselves asleep
at night because they're so oppressed and their country is
so awful.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Right that is that is not good?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, think if the the mental gymnastics, the emotional gymnastics,
you would have to do to end up thinking you're
oppressed and you have nothing to lose but your chains.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
But the China's best and bright it's they're being you know,
bathed their entire lives in patriotism for their country, as
opposed to our kids being bathed their entire elite lives.
And you should. You gotta hate this country. We're really
the source of all evil. I mean, the world would
be so much better off if we didn't exist in.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Small parts through TikTok and platforms like that that are
sponsored by the communist Chinese, but in large part by
our own elite educational infrastructure. I can't believe we're putting
up with it. I'm not sure exactly what to do
about it other than what we're doing here trying to
raise awareness of it. But my god, we have a
disease in this country, a serious, perhaps fatal disease named
(27:46):
our educational system.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Could anything be more annoying than some twenty year old
been pampered their entire lives, rich kid walking around thinking
they are living in chains. I mean, that's so annoying.
I can't hardly stand it well.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Only if they would run round with their face covered
by a terrorist scarf saying that the only democracy in
the Middle East should be wiped off the map by
Islamic supremacists. That would be hard to take too.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yeah, man, and is something we will finish strong next
new numb nuts. We have nothing to lose our chains.
Good lord. Ah, that might be the most in up
(28:40):
uh the top not understanding your own place in the
world I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I was gonna say, it's the grand champion of un
self awareness. Yes, ah, see Elon Musk respond with change all.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Its fan of Elon Musk and ai so this begad.
I don't know if this happened to any of you,
but if you downloaded the new Apple operating system for
your phone and you're doing any of the voiced voice
texting stuff. People started to notice that if you use
the word racist. I don't say the word racist that
much when I'm sending messages to people, But if you
(29:28):
said the word racist, it would come out as trump.
For some reason, it would then correct itself to the
word racist, but it would first say trump. If you
said the word racist in your voice texting on Apple, obvious,
what's going on there? And it happened, Yeah, And it
happened enough times it became a viral TikTok thing and
people were wondering, what the hell is going on there?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Well.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
As CNN reported yesterday, Apple had an explanation.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
The company is saying, essentially that the AI system behind
its voice to text feature can occasionally type an incorrect
word with phonetic overlap, essentially a word that sounds similar
to what a user was trying to say before quickly correcting,
which is what we see happened here. A user would
say racist, the thing would type trump and then quickly
correct to racist. But you know, I think users can
(30:15):
decide how much phonetic overlap they think there is between
the words racist and Trump. Apple says this was a
glitch and it's working on a fix.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Why did CNN not have the guts to say?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Why did CNN have the guts to say, obviously there's
no phonetic overlap between the words racist and Trump, as
opposed to saying viewers can determine for themselves how much
overlap they think there is phonetically between the word racist
and Trump.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, the question before us isn't is this a beautiful painting?
Which is obviously an opinion question. Phonetic overlap is not
an opinion question. It's not even close. So you have
simultaneously Apple fan of and CNN contemptuous of, just utterly
(30:59):
because themselves. Do you people not have any shame or
do you think we're all so stupid that we buy
your sunshiny little explanation? Please, it's trollery. Some Apple staffer
who hates Trump got it in there. It's decent trollery.
I mean, you're an a hole, but you know somehow
(31:21):
they got it in there. It's semi clever, But that's
clearly what happened.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Elon Musk commented on this story yesterday, saying, this is
what I mean by the woke mind virus, and the
more I learned, the more insidious and deadly it appears.
And he's really concerned about AI being so woke, and
he said it's tough to remove because there's so much
woke content content on the internet. And he used this
example which I remember when other AIS were asked whether
(31:45):
global thermonuclear war or misgendering was worse every AI, but
Grox said misgendering's worse than thermonuclear war. Great and Elon
said the problem with that is AI could decide that
the only way to certainly to stop misgendering is to
kill all humans.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That seems a little extreme, but just in case she
Jenping is listening, Chairman, she yes, it's true. Call me
a girl before you drop a nuclear bomb on my head,
because that's way, way worse. Clearly AI is right.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Viewers can decide for themselves how much phonetic overlap they
believe there is between the two words.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Why are you treating great grape rip? Rick Trump? Racist?
You see? Seriously, Apple come on, are a bunch of
dumb asses, but Apple come on?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Tim Cook should have come out yesterday and said somebody
did this was either a prank or they have an
ideology that they shouldn't be bringing to work, and I
will get to the bottom of the say they should
have just been upfront about it.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah what who made that decision? Or send Jenny out
there and she'd claim it was phonetic overlap to words
that are completely unlike each other and the stupid morons
will lap it up.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Wow, they got my sagia, They get me what they got?
You sell bend Over sounds for final thoughts?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
That was unnecessarily suggested, but thank you, Blues guys banded over.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Where'd the Bendover come from? Here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Just get a final thought from everybody on the crew

Please check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Thank you, Okay, fantastic Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman As
a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Well, you guys mentioned Grock the AI system and I
made an image yesterday of Gavin Newsom's head on a
pile of poop and called it Gavin.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Poosum and was mocked by you guys. You people on Twitter.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
Are loving it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Katie for the way and Jack final thought.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I'm just curious since I haven't messed around with groc
or any other AI, Like, how long did that take you?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Five seconds? Five seconds? Yeah? Wow? And it just does
it for you. I got to spend more time with AI.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, you're gonna have a lot of heads, different heads
sitting on piles of poop and I'm done with it, eh.
Armstrong you getty. Wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
Somebody's making money on your feet there.
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Your time has expired.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
They all very much Armstrong and Getty,
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio from the
George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty and he
Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We have an.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Exciting update on the death of Gene Hackman. I didn't
think there would be anything to this story ever again.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hum exciting? No, can we have a second take? Please?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What's wrong with the word exciting?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
A man and his wife have died. Their bodies were found.
I disassociate myself Gene Hacker this now. Our sources are
rock solid, the Daily Mail and TMZ.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, TMZ is pretty solid. Yeah, Daily Mail is pretty good.
This this definitely has the feel of it might turn
out to be wrong, but Gene Hackman and his wife
were found partially mummified at the couple's mansion, with pills
strewn in their bathroom. Miss Arakawa, aged sixty four, found
decomposed with bloating on her face, mummification in their hands
(01:12):
and feet.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sheriff said. Hackman was found to have the same signs
of decomposition as his wife. He was in the mudroom
of their house, fully clothed wearing sunglasses, which is interesting.
Two maintenance workers discovered the bodies let's see Wednesday in
the afternoon Boba. The workers told investigators they had not
(01:35):
seen them for two weeks. Both appeared to have been
dead for some time. Arakawa discovered lying on the bathroom
floor of the couple's homes home with an open prescription
bottle of pills scattered across a nearby countertop. And let's see,
Hackman found dead in a mudroom off the couple's kitchen.
The warrants said they call it an arrest warrant in
the Daily Mail, but they do not ever refer to
(01:57):
anybody being arrested or being sought. So I don't know
how it's an arrest warrant per se. Can you have
anything more than that? No signs of a gas leak?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
That?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
That was That was the last little part of it
is that CMZ is calling it a search warrant.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
But yeah, here's what I think happened. Better, here's what
I think happened. First of all, we need an egyptologist
to call in. How long does it take for a
body to begin the mummification process once you die and
you're just laying there?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
He said, right, a month or three weeks or a while.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I think Gene Hackman, who is ninety five, his wife
is sixty five.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
They'd been married for thirty years, so.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
They got together when he was you know, he was
in his sixties and she was in her thirties. But
I think he, uh what you made that face, Katie?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What was that face?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I just what was the what did you say?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Half half your age plus two or seven years plus seven? Yeah,
thirty years the decency ratio, Yes, d thirty year old
woman marrying a six year old man.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yet that's definitely definitely that's dad. Okay, I'm glad you're
here to say that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Uh so, because he could to you and because she
could works both ways, right, he married, it's super very famous,
got a.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Judgment here, and probably had a really cool.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Life there for quite a while.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I think he comes into the mudroom, he's ninety five
years old, dies, somehow, hits his head, has a heart attack. Whatever,
they'll figure it out. She can't go on now that
he's gone. She downs a bunch of pills and dies.
Now why the dog died though I haven't figured that
one out. The dogs, he's both the owners and I'm
never going to go on a walk again, so he
sticks his head in the oven.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
They found pills all over the bathroom floor. So maybe
the dog got into the pills, because they said the
dog was about ten to fifteen feet away from his
wife back on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, that could be conceivable. Or maybe the dog starved,
although I don't know now he was generally a starving dog. Wills, yes,
And I was going to try to be a bit
more delicate than that. But obviously your filter, along with
your respiratory tract, is sick and not functioning properly. So
we'll forgive you. I guess it would be good if
(04:20):
you would would say you are on cold medicine. That
would be you denied it earlier. I suggest, as your attorney,
you retract that and say, oh I forgot I took powerful.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Drunks, all of them. So anyway, that's my theory.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The very old hackman dies, she's distraught and depressed and
takes a bunch of pills to overdose.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It's not impossible, but the man was ninety five. If
you have not processed the fact that your spouse might
pass when he's ninety five, you've got some serious psychological problems.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
That reminds me of when BB King died at age
ninety I think, and then his daughter said there had
to be foul play, and that was that was like, heyah, right,
ninety nine year old profoundly obese men don't just drop dead.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sighing is a miss here.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Immensely fat, ancient bluesmen don't just suddenly pass away.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
But so your point, you wouldn't have thought she'd have
been too shocked to ever. I mean, at ninety five,
you gotta walk into the house practically every day thinking
I wonder if he's still upright.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, you've certainly worked through this, you know, the possibility.
I've got to admit. I was absolutely certain, well not certain.
I thought it was highly likely it was some sort
of carbon monoxide lead or something like that. The fact
that they were in different rooms, different states of you know, activity,
the dog was not with them in the room with
the faultye heater or what have you, that there's something
(05:54):
very odd that's gone on here.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
No doubt mummification. I wonder how long that takes.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
M last person who saw him seems to be a
couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
The Google says that in extremely dry conditions, this mummification
process can start within a week.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh really. And they're in New Mexico, right, beautiful Santa Fe.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, and he lived.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
In one of the very very cool artsy partsy town
if you've never been in Santa Fe. And he lived
in one of those adobe houses. I have a friend
who lives in one of those. They're like four hundred
years old. You're not allowed to do anything to them
because they're historic relics, but they're very cool to live in,
and lots of artists there. And he was really into
painting and sculpting. I guess these last several decades when
(06:40):
he wasn't acting.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I hope his funnel years were happy and satisfying. And
I hope the end to both he and his his
and his way too young to be croaking mysteriously wife.
It was not gruesome. I suppose the truth will out
at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
So, but we we woke up to because we got
the alerts overnight Gene Hackman is dead. Then you look,
you know, one sentence below it, and it's he and
his wife and his dog are dead. And then immediately
the police say no suspicion of foul play. So that
sends your mind worrying. Okay, well then what the heck?
And that's how you come up with what you know,
Joe's theory or whatever. But now, when you got the
(07:22):
mummification thing.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Why did that police say that? Why is that significant?
Just nobody found the body for a week.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Because the body's been sitting around for weeks. How could
you immediately jump to no foul play. I don't know
how you would.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do that, no sign of any trauma. But even then,
somebody could be choked or or something like that, or asphyxiated. Yeah,
sometimes the cop shops say things they shouldn't many times.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
If your body's down the road to be in a mummy,
I don't know, it'd be kind of hard to tell
exactly what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Nicee your point, you'll.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Probably see pictures by the end of the day from
TMZ the.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Old mummy road down the road being a mummy. Any
chance we could change topics? Now? Before you know anybody
else is offended.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well, we gotta we gotta take a break, and then
we'll get into.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Think about the things we've done. Yes, agreed.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Oh man, my favorite actor of all time, gifted man,
you know what we could do here?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yes? Please, yes, the clip of one of his great performance. Yes,
how about maybe it can save the segment.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
How about Gene Hackman, my favorite actor of all time
in the fabulous movie Hoosiers.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
There's a condition and tournament play, and not talk about
the next step until you've climbed the one in front
of you.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm sure going to the state finals is beyond.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Your wildest dream.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So let's just keep it right there and.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, their
fancy uniforms, and remember I got you here. Focus on
the fundamentals we've gone over time and time again, and
most important, don't get caught up thinking about winning or
losing this game. If you put your effort in concentration
into playing to your potential.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
To be the best that you can be.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end
of the game.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
In my book, we're going to be winners.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Okay, all right, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Let me hear.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Cat.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I wish, I wish I could listen to that speech
before I did every athletic thing I ever did in
high school, because my mind was always saying, God, you
lose to this ilk wrestling you lose to this guy.
You're a laughing stock. I mean, I can hear the
jokes people are going to be making on the ride.
This the right mindsets, Well exactly, I needed a pre
mummified Gene Hackman giving me that boosting speech.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh my god, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
We've got more on the way.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Stay here.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Barnard College is the private women's liberal arts college that
is part of Columbia University. So they're together in this
little thing here Barnard in Columbia that we're about to
talk about. It's all around the same issue last year
when everything blew up at Colombia pro hamas protesters getting
(10:26):
all crazy and a bunch of students that took over
a building. But before we get to that and the
chanting so car anti settler colonialism, Jack, Columbia had to
apologize yesterday because a teacher in the astronomy department was
found to have inserted political views within the syllabus for
(10:46):
a class session, in violation of university policy. Now some
people are seeing this as Columbia pushing back that they're
starting to get the message a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
The fact that they pushed back at this at all.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
So in your Astronomy class number one in the description
of the class, not number five or ten or further
down the line, but number one Astronomy and Palestine. It says,
throughout this course, we'll be doing some observing of the
celestial bodies. It is important to understand the privileges we
have to be able to even do astronomy without worrying
(11:18):
about being caught in an airstrike as we watch a
genocide unfolding. Gods, it's important to tell the story of Palestine.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Blah blah blah. That is parody.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Surely it's not, And Columbia officially apologized for that and
said that graduate student is not no longer teaching that class.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
How nuts is that? Wow?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Also fitting in with this, a sophomore at Barnard College
that's the women's blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
As I just said, took a video.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Every single English professor I looked at this video, Every
single English professor at the university has free Palestine and
end the genocide stickers on their doors. As this person says,
what the hell does English have to do with the
Middle East? But they all believable have end the genocide
stickers on their doors. Where you're sending your kid to
learn you know, their uh, get their English one oh
(12:08):
one at cost of ninety thousand dollars a year or something,
insaying like that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Tear down the university system, we rebuild it. It'll take
a year. You're going to be a freshman next year.
Go get a job at Chili's, make some money. You'll
be better off anyway. We'll restart colleges next year. Protesters
took over in a building. An employee was it was assaulted.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Classes were disrupted and or canceled, depending on what part
of the campus.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You were on yesterday.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
So you paid ninety grand to go to the college
and your kid couldn't go to class because these pro
Homas protesters took over the building.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The dean had to ask to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I should have grabbed that audio because I saw that
where he said it would it be okay if I
went to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You're allowed to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You're the freaking dean asking these people if you can
go to the How symbolic is that?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I'm no kidding? Uh?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
And the administration admitted they don't know if everyone involved
in the sit in taking over the building is even
a member of the college negotiating, they said they would
not leave, and the negotiating was going on, and I
watched some of this. Barnard Faculties serving as a spokesman,
assured the radical Columbia students that the NYPD would not
(13:14):
be called at least before ten thirty while they tried
to work out their what do you call it in
a negotiation? Your terms? Why are you to have any
terms at all? Leave or you're expelled. There's my term
and arrested. But whatever terms they worked out, the students
did leave at ten thirty before the Columbia said they
(13:34):
were going to call the n WAY the New York
Police Department, and then they gathered off campus and started
their chanting. And this is what it sounded like. Intifada revolution,
(14:10):
et cetera, et cetera. These people are lunatics, dangerous lunatics
that I don't know if they follow the recent news
of what Hamas is doing with the strangling the babies
and then parading them around and mocking Israel and vowing
(14:31):
more October seventh, but there you go, there you go.
That's who some of these enlightened college students are on
the side of do we.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Have the other audio that was in our text string,
Maybe we can grab that. That's what I've been touting
all day long. That is some of my favorite chanting
of all time. Yeah, yeah, okay, well, a bit of
a miscommunication there, We will get that hilariously ironic chanting.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
So what we learned shortly after October seventh seems to
still be the case. The reason the dean is willing
to make himself subservient to these people is he agrees
with them or she.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I don't know if is a he or she.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And to whatever extent they don't agree or aren't comfortable
enforcing their disagreement, that is their customer base. They're getting
tons and tons of money to give these poor dopes
practically zero education. So you don't want to upset that
apple cart.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How about that astronomy thing.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
We should consider ourselves privilege to be able to even
concern ourselves with astronomy while there are air strikes going on.
I mean, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, you've got the University of California system saying that
principles of equity and activism should be in every single class,
and this guy or gal just took it seriously, said Okay, astronomy,
let me think. Yeah, yeah, Palestinians like to look up
at this at Mars. Yeah, so we'll talk about Palestine,
you know, the Palestinians and guys. It's just if I know,
(16:08):
it sounds crazy to say we've got to completely tear
our university system down to the studs because there's not
like one entity in charge of it. So I don't
even know what that would look like, but it's it's
perhaps diseased beyond redemption.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
You combine the things that they teach our kids with the.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Cost, and I mean it's just.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I don't know how you justify sending your kid to
one of these places unless you agree with that ideology.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And it's such a waste of taxpayer money to artificially
subsidize all of this stuff to keep the prices as
high as possible, so the campus folks will always, always
always vote Democrat. Yeah, it's just it's awful. So then
we let it happen. I blame myself.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
So we got some good stuff out of Joe's favorite
new guy, Lutnik coming up.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, Howard Lutnick is Secretary of Commerce who's talking about China.
Really persuasive stuff, and with all of our domestic policy
yelling at each other elon musketctera, nobody's paying attention to
what China is doing right now. They are making aggressive
moves all over the place. I hope you can stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
That more armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Mistakes happen. The important thing is to learn from those unforgivable,
punishable mistakes that will permanently be in permanent files and
move on. So now we have the chanting that we
actually wanted from the nutjob Columbia Barnard students. Dig this
if you will, eighty two. This is the whole Enchilada is.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
Our freedom and poor one another.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Nothing we love.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So these are a bunch of wealthy, privile, wealthy privileged.
I mean, you're among the most privileged young people on
planet Earth that have practice lived, and you're chanting we
have nothing to lose about our chains.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Do they mean like their Taylor Swift Friendship bracelets or
their gold chains around their necks? Or I confuse chanting
like they're Jay kuevera a bunch of privileged Northeastern college
students cause playing that they're brave revolutionaries. What could be
more absurd?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Or that they're put upon in any way and they
have to break something.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Chains of capitalism, probably in white supremacy, the patriarchy, settler colonialism.
Oh man, for kids, they didn't raise themselves, they didn't
teach themselves.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
No, they didn't raise their kids theirselves. I was about
to say, like if my kid, but my kid wouldn't
end up with that point of view. I mean, you'd
have to grow up in a household where people talk
to that way, I guess.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I mean if some kids, kids swept up in the
whole college thing and they completely abandon their families, that's true.
I have heard it happens a lot.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well, and then you come home spouting that crap. Okay,
I know what, I'll release you from your chains. You're released,
and go go take on the world on your own
now because I'm not writing anymore checks. Go take on
the world. You're you're freed from the chains of me
paying for stuff. Go knock it out of the park.
I wish you're sorry about those chains. My bad. Where
(20:13):
did I get off putting the chains of sending you
to one of the most expensive colleges in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That is just astounding, I know, is that a linguine
armed fella, or I realize the to assigned gender is,
you know, completely out of the question among the very
chanting nut jobs we're talking about. But set an linguen
(20:40):
armed fella probably a big beefy angry gal.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Why the size of his by and or triceps matters.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Well, And I suspect it's the aforementioned angry revolutionary woman
who has no idea what to do with her life
and has been trained to be angry and unhappy.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Here's a chick sat as a check.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I'll say it sounds like a beefy a beefy girl.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
But well, just the chanting at the beginning was so
weird and cult like just that.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Well, and they're all standing in a circle holding hands.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, and the childlike voices struck me too, how they
were hardly more than children who had been trained to
chant in the matter of the Red Guard or Hitler
youth or whatever radical you know, movement through history you
want to cite. I picture the children chanting, and that's
(21:32):
what I heard.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, and they are Marxists, I mean a lot of
them are Maoists. So the comparison is not a stretch
at all. Wow China. Wow, I know, I know what
Wow wow Wow, We've gotten off track anyway, speaking of China,
thought this was interesting Howard Lutnik, the new Secretary of Commerce.
(21:56):
Great interview with Brett Bear last night on Special Report
and some of the stuff we played last hour about
how he sees all sorts of opportunities to economize, you know,
combine the census with a postal service, then send out
census forms to your house when a baby is born.
The government knows a baby is born, why do you
have to go to a census office or go through
(22:18):
all sorts of you know, hoops and ladders to get
the forms. Anyway, But the last question I think was
that Brett asked him was what are you worried about?
And I thought his answer was terrific. It's forty nine.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The thing that concerns me most is China.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
There's a giant country who hates us, who wants us
to not have this way of life, and the rest
of the world not so much.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
So.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
The issue is how do you make sure that they
don't run like Huawei?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
And you say, well, why do I care about that?
Speaker 10 (22:51):
Well, if they get in the phone system, they'll turn
it off.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
You know, these kind of things. We've got to protect ourselves,
and we've got to protect.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
Our allies who get week want to buy it cheap, right,
they dumb cars, think about it. We have We won't
let a Chinese car come here, right Europe, let them come.
They started selling a car that costs thirty thousand euro
for seventeen thousand.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The cost was thirty and.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
What volkswagons started saying, we're going to start closing plants.
They're trying to crush us. And we need to pay attention.
And thank god we have Donald Trump in the White
House because he's paying attention. He's going to bring the
pharmaceuticals back, the semiconductors back.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
We have to protect.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
Ourselves and be powerful as the country. We are the
greatest country on earth. We will not cut one penny
from someone who deserves those security someone that deserves medicare.
But let me tell you all that crap of waste
and fraud and abuse that's out of here.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We're going to balance this budget.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
We're going to drive interest rates down, and we're going
to make the greatest America great again.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That's the Secretary of Commerce, who's a China Hawk. Couldn't
love it more. No, man, that's troubling stuff though. Oh yeah, yeah.
Do you see the story where Taiwan's coast guard detained
a cargo ship with a Chinese crew. They're cutting undersea
internet cables, Yeah, trying to cut Taiwan's communication. And the
(24:15):
Wall Street Journal was reporting the other day China and
Russia are expanding cooperation from Alaska to Taiwan in joint
military drills, extremely belligerent military drills all over the map.
That's beautiful. And then I had one more Shina story.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Boy, that dropping.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
And I've not driven a Chinese electric car, but I
guess they're pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I saw that article the other day about how some
you know, they steal everything they have. They've got some
Chinese electric car that looks exactly like Mercedes Benz or
a Porschmart model or whatever. It looks just like operates
really really well, much much cheaper that they sell in China,
and those have become really sought after vehicles and it's
(25:07):
going to be hard to.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Compete with I don't know if that well, that's yeah,
that's the point, and I don't know that particular vehicle
if it's another example of predatory dumping. But the idea is,
you subsidize your car industry to the point that you
can sell well thirty thousand euro worth equality for seventeen
until you drive all your competitors out of business. Then
(25:29):
you start charging the legature price. And that's what tariffs
exist to prevent. And I hope Trump uses those judiciously.
But oh, the other thing I want to mention about
China is that m it was again the Wall Street
General reporting that Chinese money brokers, with the absolute approval
of the government, are now the money launderers of the
drug cartels. Well, you know, just the Mexican cartels, which
(25:50):
are into a hell of a lot more than drugs.
So the unholy cartels now have joined in the access
of a holes with China and Russia in Iran and
North Korea. Great, and they're not only across the southern border,
they're operating in the US. Every American, and actually pretty
(26:11):
good percentage of Americans, are aware of this, But every
American ought to be aware of how aggressively China is
attacking us in every way they can think of, Right
now I'm glad the Trump administration is wide awake to
that reality.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No kidding.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
And then, you know, to get back to how we
started this segment, the fact that we have some of
our best and brightest chanting that the only thing they
have to lose are their chains and crying themselves asleep
at night because they're so oppressed and their country is
so awful.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Right that is that is not good?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, think if the the mental gymnastics, the emotional gymnastics,
you would have to do to end up thinking you're
oppressed and you have nothing to lose but your chains.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
But the China's best and bright it's they're being you know,
bathed their entire lives in patriotism for their country, as
opposed to our kids being bathed their entire elite lives.
And you should. You gotta hate this country. We're really
the source of all evil. I mean, the world would
be so much better off if we didn't exist in.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Small parts through TikTok and platforms like that that are
sponsored by the communist Chinese, but in large part by
our own elite educational infrastructure. I can't believe we're putting
up with it. I'm not sure exactly what to do
about it other than what we're doing here trying to
raise awareness of it. But my god, we have a
disease in this country, a serious, perhaps fatal disease named
(27:46):
our educational system.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Could anything be more annoying than some twenty year old
been pampered their entire lives, rich kid walking around thinking
they are living in chains. I mean, that's so annoying.
I can't hardly stand it well.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Only if they would run round with their face covered
by a terrorist scarf saying that the only democracy in
the Middle East should be wiped off the map by
Islamic supremacists. That would be hard to take too.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yeah, man, and is something we will finish strong next
new numb nuts. We have nothing to lose our chains.
Good lord. Ah, that might be the most in up
(28:40):
uh the top not understanding your own place in the
world I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I was gonna say, it's the grand champion of un
self awareness. Yes, ah, see Elon Musk respond with change all.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Its fan of Elon Musk and ai so this begad.
I don't know if this happened to any of you,
but if you downloaded the new Apple operating system for
your phone and you're doing any of the voiced voice
texting stuff. People started to notice that if you use
the word racist. I don't say the word racist that
much when I'm sending messages to people, But if you
(29:28):
said the word racist, it would come out as trump.
For some reason, it would then correct itself to the
word racist, but it would first say trump. If you
said the word racist in your voice texting on Apple, obvious,
what's going on there? And it happened, Yeah, And it
happened enough times it became a viral TikTok thing and
people were wondering, what the hell is going on there?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Well.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
As CNN reported yesterday, Apple had an explanation.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
The company is saying, essentially that the AI system behind
its voice to text feature can occasionally type an incorrect
word with phonetic overlap, essentially a word that sounds similar
to what a user was trying to say before quickly correcting,
which is what we see happened here. A user would
say racist, the thing would type trump and then quickly
correct to racist. But you know, I think users can
(30:15):
decide how much phonetic overlap they think there is between
the words racist and Trump. Apple says this was a
glitch and it's working on a fix.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Why did CNN not have the guts to say?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Why did CNN have the guts to say, obviously there's
no phonetic overlap between the words racist and Trump, as
opposed to saying viewers can determine for themselves how much
overlap they think there is phonetically between the word racist
and Trump.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, the question before us isn't is this a beautiful painting?
Which is obviously an opinion question. Phonetic overlap is not
an opinion question. It's not even close. So you have
simultaneously Apple fan of and CNN contemptuous of, just utterly
(30:59):
because themselves. Do you people not have any shame or
do you think we're all so stupid that we buy
your sunshiny little explanation? Please, it's trollery. Some Apple staffer
who hates Trump got it in there. It's decent trollery.
I mean, you're an a hole, but you know somehow
(31:21):
they got it in there. It's semi clever, But that's
clearly what happened.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Elon Musk commented on this story yesterday, saying, this is
what I mean by the woke mind virus, and the
more I learned, the more insidious and deadly it appears.
And he's really concerned about AI being so woke, and
he said it's tough to remove because there's so much
woke content content on the internet. And he used this
example which I remember when other AIS were asked whether
(31:45):
global thermonuclear war or misgendering was worse every AI, but
Grox said misgendering's worse than thermonuclear war. Great and Elon
said the problem with that is AI could decide that
the only way to certainly to stop misgendering is to
kill all humans.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That seems a little extreme, but just in case she
Jenping is listening, Chairman, she yes, it's true. Call me
a girl before you drop a nuclear bomb on my head,
because that's way, way worse. Clearly AI is right.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Viewers can decide for themselves how much phonetic overlap they
believe there is between the two words.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Why are you treating great grape rip? Rick Trump? Racist?
You see? Seriously, Apple come on, are a bunch of
dumb asses, but Apple come on?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Tim Cook should have come out yesterday and said somebody
did this was either a prank or they have an
ideology that they shouldn't be bringing to work, and I
will get to the bottom of the say they should
have just been upfront about it.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah what who made that decision? Or send Jenny out
there and she'd claim it was phonetic overlap to words
that are completely unlike each other and the stupid morons
will lap it up.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Wow, they got my sagia, They get me what they got?
You sell bend Over sounds for final thoughts?
