Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Getty and Key Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A New York longevity clinic has announced recently we'll offer
a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars annual membership that
includes anti aging treatments. You ever noticed how it's only
super wealthy people who want to live longer. That's why
anti aging treatments are a quarter million dollars. But a
Taco Bell Supreme Lox boxes five ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Here's a ten, take me out. I'm not even sure
get this.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
So a lot of what drives news cycles is the
way a story is presented or the way it gets
spun and how it catches on. I think this is
good news for the current administration that the inflation numbers
are out. It's down, it's a tiny amount, but it
beat expectations, whatever that means. But here's how CNN is
(01:10):
presenting it, and this has got it. But Trump's got
to be happy to see this. US inflation slowed in
February for first time in four months. I mean, that's
a good headline for a administration that's two months old.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, yeah, particularly given the concerns about the tariff stuff
and trade stuff that it might drive up prices.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, it's good, it's good.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
But if you're barely paying attention, which is probably the
CNN viewer at the airport, you know, seeing that inflation
has slowed for the first time, you'd have to think, well,
I guess Trump's doing a good job.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
If CNN hadn't somehow gotten into airports, would they even
still be in business?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Good question, That is a good one. I mean I
rarely find myself with the urge to go there. Yeah,
that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Coming up what may be the greatest hellilariously self beclowning
academic paper in the history. And it's a rich, rich history.
Friends of this sort of thing coming up later in
the hour. Cool, did you have something else you want
to mention?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Or that was that? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So, I, in particular was highly skeptical Last Hour What
you missed Last Hour Gravit Fi podcast arm Strong in
Getty on demand subscribe anyway, I was highly skeptical about
the current whipsaw e tariff stuff going on under Trump
these days. Worried about what it's going to do to
the economy and business, small business and big business and
(02:35):
where it all ends.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And what his plan is.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Having said that, my four oh one K, you know
anybody who says that, or any reporters who say that,
they're either morons or deliberately being misleading.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Anytime, not just with this, with any with anything looking
at your four oh one K today.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Who's looking at the four to one K every day?
And why if you want to make a ride joke
about by four one ks three oh one, kay, okay,
that's fine, But yeah, to talk seriously about it day
to day is insanity. But there are a handful of
other things going on that I think are absolutely wonderful,
and you know, I.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Just I hope we can get a lot done.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We the same in America, you know before I don't
know some of the.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Rapid rapid change.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Maybe Disroyal derails us anyway, Washington, d C crews have
begun dismantling the Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC, which
will be replaced with projects celebrating America's two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary that includes artwork by local artists. This comes
after House Republicans pressured the communist mayor Muriel Bowserd or
(03:45):
removed the plaza, which features bold yellow lettering spelling black
Lives Matter, advertising a Marxist organization that is bent on overthrowing.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The United States.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, always separating the sentiment from the organization, but generally,
you know, it's the organization that you're seeing on signs
and that sort of thing. We are talking about an
old radio colleague yesterday and we're wondering if he's still alive,
and I googled him real quick and found his Twitter
feed and he's got a Black Lives Matter thing on,
you know, pinned on his avatar, Like, what do you
(04:18):
not follow the news?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
They're criminals?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, no kidding and avowed Marxists, which reminds me I
was gonna get into something else right now.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But this is the fits so beautifully.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's it's somebody summarizing a nineteen ninety seven book, The
Foundations of Geopolitics by Alexander Duggan Dugan who wrote it's
about Russia and and their.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
What would you call it? You know, I hate that misinformation.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Disinformation has been so abused, but there they're psy ops
against their opponents. Around the world, and they've been famous
for it from you know, Soviet times through modern times
are very very aggressive about it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But I here's the quote from the book.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Russia should introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging
all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts,
actively supporting all dissident movements, extremist, racist, and sectarian groups,
thus destabilizing internal political processes in the US. It would
(05:24):
also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics.
And then a Learning to commenter commented, I once interviewed
a US military analyst whose focus was Russian influence campaigns,
and one of the most surprising things he told me
was that Russia doesn't push Americans to the left or
(05:44):
right I would interject, or toward Trump or Hillary or whatever,
or even in a pro Russian direction.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Rather, it pushes Americans in all.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Directions every sort of dissent and dissidence and anger they
want to fuel all the time. That's the strategy. Anyway,
I thought that was interesting. Getting back to the A
I'm sorry, do you want to comment on that before
we move on? Now?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It's troubling, and I just I wonder if we're clever
enough to resist that. I bounce around social media, I
would say no.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, yeah, I think, And I see Russian bots and
Russian influenced commentators on Twitter all the time, and it's
it's been successful to the extent that. And if you're
ever on social media, first of all, stop than I
(06:43):
should do. You will see people who agree on eighty
seven percent of everything absolutely in a brutal knife fight
over that last thirteen percent. And that is the Russian goal,
absolutely true. Moving along, Tom Holman, the ass kicking borders are,
(07:05):
has said he wants two hundred work site checks for
illegal immigrants every week, two hundred a week across the
country to begin enforcing immigration law.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know, it's shocking that this is at all shocking, right,
that we don't enforce immigration law. That Congress passes laws
and then we don't paying attention to them. And even
more than that, we act as if it's an abhorrent
and bizarre to enforce the law. And some cities, counties,
or states say how dare you.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Which reminds me clip seventy Michael. This is Christy Nome,
the head of the Apartment of Homeland Security Secretary.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think is the technical.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Term looking disconcertingly glamorous. In this message paid for by
the DHS.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I'm Christine Noam, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
Thank you President Ronald J. Trump for securing our border,
for deporting criminal illegal immigrants, and for putting America first.
President Trump has a clear message for those that are
in our country illegally.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Leave now.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
If you don't, we will find you, and we will
deport you. You will never return. For too long week,
politicians left our borders wide open. They flooded our communities
with drugs, human trafficking, and violent criminals. They put American
lives at risk. Well, those days are over. If you
leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and
(08:32):
enjoy our freedom and live the American dream. But understand this.
Under President Trump, America's borders are closed to lawbreakers. Follow
the law and you'll find opportunity. Break it and you'll
find consequences. The choice is yours. America welcomes those who
respect our laws because a strong nation is a safe nation.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Music is going to give me a panic attack. It's
inspired me. I'm waving a flag right now. That was
an official message. Of the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Is that a message to illegals or is that a
message to everyone that look what we're accomplishing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, I think both absolutely true. And
so the concern, and again this is not if you're
new to the show, you maybe don't get this yet.
I'm neither going to cheerlead one hundred percent of the
time for Trump, nor criticism criticize him one hundred percent
(09:31):
in the policies and his administration doesn't make any sense.
The concern in the business community is that everybody's kind
of agreed we need lots and lots of immigrant labor,
and there's no time to fill out the paperwork. And
everybody knows there's millions of illegals and they're filling millions
and millions of jobs, and industry and hotels and hospitality.
(09:52):
We're all kind of in on this together, and now
you're going to yank them out all of a sudden.
That is going to really hurt the economy. We'll have
to find out. Ah, And that's this. The head of
the EPA, the new guy, Lee Zelden, has canceled four
hundred DEI and environmental justice grants and saves nearly two
(10:13):
billion dollars four hundred DEI, which is Marxism and environmental
justice grants. I say, good for you, sir, good for you.
So that's progress towards sanity.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And the Trump administration. Oh I should have done this
after the other immigration story. They have launched the Biden
Administration's CBP one app. That's the Hey, welcome to the
US immigration system. Here's your appointment to come and apply
for asylum and then disappear into the country and never
be seen again and live without consequence. They've turned it
(10:50):
into a self deportation tool. They have relaunched the Biden
administration's smartphone application. It will now offer several features, including
allowing illegal aliens to de clear an intent intent to
self deport and leave the country. The new app will
still allow non immigrant aliens to apply for.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Non immigrant aliens what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
To apply for and pay fees for an I ninety
four Temporary travel permit line visitors travel beyond twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Miles from the border. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
In addition, the app will allow commercial importers to request
inspections for blah blah blah, but mostly it's an intent
to deport yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It was what Christy Noman was saying.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Tell us you're here and go and we'll talk about
you coming back. You don't do this. You can never
come back again. Once we find you, we'll have to
see cool we had at the bottleneck's going to be
the immigration courts and hearings, and because that's all required
by law, there aren't nearly enough to process millions and
millions of people.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
But that can change too. A lot of good stuff
to talk about today.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Fire in half of the Department of Education employees yesterday
they announced, which we'll see what that means or is going.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
To do the end of education And that's what I
heard on MSNBC.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
On well answer the question is their life after death?
Which probably should have led with that.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Sebastian Younger, who we've had on the show before, great author.
He's got a new book out about that because he
had that experience. I was going to tell you about
that and then maybe we can get him on for
a podcast someday or something, because that's some interesting stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Right now. I would love to yeah all on the
way to stay here. Ky CNN Breaking News, we.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Begin this hour with the breaking news. A key report
on inflation gives fresh encouragement to Americans increasingly very worried
about the state of the US economy. The Consumer Price
Index shows annual inflation at two point eight percent, the
first time it has slowed in some four months.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
How about that, CNN not trying to spin it somehow
in a negative way.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, it appears they've decided to veer back towards something
like reasonable news coverage as opposed to part of an
advocacy for now.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Anyway, that's the inflation news of the day, and we
got a bunch of you got all the tariff stuff
going on at the same time, and who knows what
that's going to.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Do to inflation or whatever. More on that later.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So I cut the last part of this interview yesterday
and we got to have him on for a podcast.
I would love to talk to Sebastian Younger about that.
I was trying to remember, how did he become get
on everybody's radar? He his original big well maybe you
remember you remember his original big one, A perfect storm.
The Perfect Storm was his original big one, which got
some perfect storms, which is a lot of people have
(13:33):
seen the movie. If you haven't read the book. Woo,
it is something anyway. He also did Tribe, which we liked,
and a number of other things, and has done a
lot of war correspondent and been in a lot of
dangerous parts of the world. And I was unaware of
this new book that he's got called In My Time
of Dying. Sees hanging out at home with his family
(13:56):
when all of a sudden he starts feeling really bad.
His rushed to the hospital. Turns out he's having some
sort of aneurism I'd never heard of, which very few
people survive, and he barely did. He's at the hospital,
he starts slipping away. As he's in the blurb for
his book, he says, were worth pointing out a confirmed
(14:20):
lifelong atheist who grow up as an atheist himself, and
he's not religious now, but still as an atheist, you
don't tend to believe in this sort of thing. He's
slipping away there at the hospital, and he was visited
by his dead dad who said, it's okay, there's nothing
to be scared of. I'll take care of you. That's
(14:41):
the last thing he remembers until he came to the
next day, when he was told he had suffered a
ruptured aneurysm that f you survived, and since then he
has done a deep dive on the scientific philosophical question
of is there something after we die? And all kinds
of people have had similar experiences and all that sort
(15:02):
of stuff, which I find interesting. He is definitely a
believer there's more now, and he was talking about it
and the way he presented it, and I thought this
was really interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
And I don't remember if his him or the host.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
This idea of we look at the world the way
a dog looks at the TV screen. The dog has
no idea that there's so much going on behind that
TV screen to make that happen, that it's being piped
in for somewhere else, and there's actors in the script
and all.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
These different things.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Just you know, that's the world to that dog, that
that's the way it is for us. The reality we're
seeing is just like the veneer over something much bigger
on the other side of it that we'll all become
aware of once we pass along. And I find that
notion fascinating. I believe, I actually do believe there's something
like that. But we got to have him on for
(15:55):
a podcast or something. Oh yeah, my gosh, what could
be more compelling than that?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Very few things? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh well, I have a number of thoughts on the topic,
but very little time to express them. So I will
what's that phrase, maintain my own counsel.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Do you have a science shut up in old timey talking?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Are you gonna go with some sort of scientific explanation
for why if we get enough blood cut off, we
I don't know, miss our dead relatives or something I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
In virtually the same way through all of human history
seeing those who've gone before us welcoming us. I mean,
that's a little universal and experience to be a coincidence,
says the logical part of my brain. Right, I am fully,
flamingly agnostic on this question and fascinated by it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm not And if you don't agree with me, you're
clearly wrong. Okay, heretic? Who should die? Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I just sorry to finish your sentence story of it.
So one of the all time hilarious self declouning fake
science university research papers I've ever come across in a
couple of minutes plus, Boy, the gals on the viewer stupid.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I mean, I hate the sugar, that's not breaking news.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Dumb as hell. Y are strong and getty.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
When you come in and you say, oh, you know
these men, these are men, you know, competing and competing
against women. You're assuming that the women are weak and.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Just can't do anything.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Have you seen female athletes?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
They know what they're doing.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
So I'm not sure what's going on or why this
is an issue.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Please keep doing that. That's Whoopi Goldberger on the view.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Do it?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Come on, it's Gavin Whoopy all y'all on that side.
Keep fighting that fight, die on that hill. Fantastic. Take
it all the way, you morons?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
How do you?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
First of all, I don't know how you get to
that point of view, But secondly, you don't see the
polling on such a minor issue too.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's such a minor.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Issue, it doesn't happen that often. It's just so crazy
and stupid and dangerous. No, you know, we all hate it, right,
it's not well having your party lose election after election.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Over right, I would agree that.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I just think that illustrates the delusion that these super
fringy again neo Marxist critical theory issues have become so
accepted in such a required part of the you know,
the the catechism of the American left right now, something
as absurd and indefensible as men competing and beating the
crap out of women on the sports.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Field, that they'll die on that hill.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
As you say, it's insane and I want to get
to uh, I mean that that argument was so devoid
of anything to even be worth arguing about it. It's just
an illustration of how stupid WHOOPI Goldberg is? I think anyway,
I want to get to Gavin Newsom's actual history on
this stuff in a sense, but it's worth pointing out.
(19:03):
In the one hundred meter dash, the women's world records
are equaled by fifteen year old boys. Two hundred meters,
the women's world records is equaled by fourteen year old
boys four hundred meters, fourteen year old boys on through
eight hundred meters, fourteen year olds thousand meters, fifteen year olds,
(19:26):
et cetera. Every single woman's record has been tied or
bested by a fourteen or fifteen year old lad, not
even full grown to male strength. Anybody who's ever run
into a strong boy knows it's not the same as
a strong man.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I understand your point.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
But as at my son's volleyball game the other day,
is funny watching the high school volleyball dudes. I mean
there's some saying to somebody, well, I hope his kids
are here watching him play, because he's really doing a
good job. I mean, he looked like he was thirty.
It's funny how some people developed so much faster.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, and by the time you're eighteen. I mean,
that's one of my points is there's a difference. But anyway,
so great piece by John Girardi in the National Review.
Don't be fooled. Gavin Newsom is no moderate on trans issues.
I just don't think he has any beliefs whatsoever. But
as they noted last week, Newsom is not likely to
(20:28):
actually reverse any California laws that allow students to participate
in sports on the basis of gender identity, and the
commentariat largely understand that his change of heart is transparently insincere.
But we should also note John Wrights that Newsom's record
of signing far more harmful legislation to house males in
(20:48):
women's correctional facilities with predictably devastating consequences, consequences that are
on full display in a Central California rape trial. I
love this writing twenty COVID dictator Newsom took a break
from destroying businesses, permanently setting back public school achievement, and
violating Californians free exercise rights to sign SB one point two,
(21:10):
the Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Law, a law mandating
that inmates in California correctional facilities be housed on the
basis of their gender identity. The naivete of thinking that
convicted male felons wouldn't immediately exploit this new law in
order to rape female inmates was breathtaking. And this, of
course is exactly what happened, and we could go into
(21:33):
the awful, awful.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Details of it. I can imagine. Yeah, I mean, you
got this.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Tremaine Carroll, a man who claims to identify as a woman,
raped three women allegedly in the Central Californians Women's facility
in Choutchilla, California. The three victims were all former cellmates
of Carrol, one of whom became pregnant.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Man and you're you're a woman in prison, quite possibly
you had a rough one your whole life, and then
all of a sudden you're in jail and they put
a rapist dude in there with you.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yes, because he says I'm a woman now and the
governor believes him.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
That's like torture. That is just torturing people, right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And one of the reasons, one of a couple of
reasons this hasn't generated enormous outrage because generally speaking, you
need to have at least a little bit of buying
from the bigfoot media to really generate enormous outrage. Is
that prisoners convicts don't get a lot of sympathy. But
(22:36):
if somebody, you know, committed tax fraud or sold drugs
in their hood or whatever and got busted and did
a little bit of time, the idea that a man
can check in next to them and rape them, check
into the cell with them or next to them, rape
that's horrific. And there is evidence that Carol simply lied.
This is the rapist about quote unquote identifying as a
(22:56):
woman so he could be housed with women and rape them.
He kept the masculine first name Tremaine. He's not undergone
or requested any transgender surgeries or hormonal interventions. He had
a goatee and his not at all feminine mug shop. Well,
on top of it all, he'd been charged with prior
sex crimes, raping women at gunpoint.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
That's an interesting point, I guess. But as long as
the person has a penis, they shouldn't be in the
female prison.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, yeah, you're right. I'm not saying at all that
that should be the standard. I see your point, and
it's a good one. What I'm saying is this demonstrates
the utter bizarre lack of common sense in regard by
Gavin Newsom and his people. Literally, all it takes is
(23:44):
you fill out a form says I'm a girl now,
and you get put in the women's presence.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's there is a certain.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Percentage of the audience right now, Jack listening and saying
that can't be. That can't be because it's so insane.
I promise you this now. I'm going to bring it
to you. Courtesy of Angie, It writes what does she
write something this is solid candidate for a campus madness
(24:14):
or gender bending madness feature here or both enjoy or
drink whatever, which I thought was funny, and she says
pretty sure it's not written by James Lindsay.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Lol.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well I looked into it and it is actually written
by a woman by the name of Chloe Diamond Lenau
who's on the faculty of American University. She is an
adjunct professor orial lecturer in Women's and Gender studies. Here's
your title, Queer Canine Becomings, Lesbian Feminists, Cyborg Politics and
(24:50):
Interspecies Intimacies in Ecologies of Love and Violence. Now, as
if that wasn't a mouthful enough.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Women having sex with dogs?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
No, no, you bigot and misogynist, and.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm printing over there. Oh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So that's the title, Queer Canine Becomings, Lesbian Feminist, Cyborg
Politics and Interspecies, Intimacies and Ecologies.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Of Love and Violence. Again, that's the title.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Here's the abstract, which describes what they're studying.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
This old trope. Do we need another study of that?
Do we all kind of feel like.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
We play this game yesterday with a lecture series? This
is the soft sciences are fake sciences. There are hardly
sciences at all, in fact that they occasionally poll people.
But the idea that social science is a science is
a strange bun. And what are you going to play
this game where you count on your fingers and your
toes and Katie, you get to play along again if
(25:55):
you want. How many terms and or phrases you hear
that you have no idea what they are?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All? Right? Here we go. Now this is going to
take a second, but enjoy.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
This article offers a queer lesbian feminist analysis attuned to lesbian,
queer trans canine relationships. Specifically, the article places queer and
lesbian ecofeminism in conversation with Donna Harroway's work on the
cyborg what Now and companion species to theorize the interconnected
(26:26):
queer becomings of people, nature, animals, and machines amidst ecologies
of love and violence in the twenty twenties. It takes
two key case studies as the focus for analysis, first
the state instrumental instrumentalization of dogs and robot dogs for
racialized and imperial violence, and second, quotitian queer and lesbian
(26:50):
dog relationships and becomings. Keep in mind this is not
a joke. Well it is, but it's not. In the
first the article traces how dogs are weaponized as tools
of state violence and proposes a queer lesbian feminist critique
of white supremacy and militarization.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
They can also extend he.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Got some white supremacy in there, turned it racial.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh yeah, I worked it in midway. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
In militarization, they can also extend to a critique of
the violence committed through and towards the dogs. In the second,
the article analyzes how, within lesbian, non binary and trans
dog intimacies, is that like a transgender dog where I mean,
my dog got his balls removed, but he's not a woman.
He's still a male dog. Katie is just exhausted by this.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I just I almost want to try to read it.
I mean, I'm sure I couldn't get very far, but
I almost want to try to read it.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I know, Katie, as the kids say, I can't even Yeah, oh,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I got to finish it.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
In the second, the article analyzes how within lesbian, non
binary and trans dog intimacies, dogs help articulate queer gender
sexuality and kinship formations, and as how much queer worlds
for gender sexual and kN becomings. The entanglements of violence
and love in these queer dog relationalities provides insights into
the complexities of queer and lesbian feminist world building. Lesbian
(28:13):
and queer feminist cyborg politics can help theorize the potentials
and challenges of these interspecies entanglements.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Have you forwarded this to James Lindsay? Somebody needs afford
this to Lindsay and say is this you or is
this real?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It really? Really?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It just came out a few days ago, published by
an actual woman who is an actual lecture professor on
the East Coast.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Now, we pointed out yesterday that the great Jim James Lindsay,
who he and his friends have written books about what's
going on here is it's supposed to be confusing to you.
You're supposed to not understand it. That gives them power
and that you feel dumb. Katie Katie was talking about
this yesterday. It used to work this way on me too.
I don't need more, but it used to be this
(28:59):
way on me. I hear this sort of stuff and
I'd feel dumb. So then you just kind of shut
up and let them talk. But that's the whole point.
It's worth to me so confusing and have somebody terms
and phrases you don't know what they mean, that you
just you give them the power of.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Getting to speak exactly because it's not academia. It's a
tool for conquest. It's a tool for taking over institutions.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I believe that that is one hundred percent true that
sort of thing. But like the person who wrote that,
did they know they're doing that or do they think
all that crap is real and significant?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Probably the ladder, although they are one hundred percent down
with the former as well.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
A little of both is so crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
This is like insanely elaborate crazy, but like the bedrock
crazy that so many people are caught on to, except
soft headed white ladies.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Mostly is that.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
The idea that you're a racist, and if you deny
you're a racist, that proves you're a racist. And if
you had admit you're a racist, that proves you're racist.
And anybody with two brain cells to rub together, it's like, oh,
I see what this is. It's trap, right, heads win, tails,
you lose.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
There were like three instances in there where it sounded
like these people were having relationships with.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Dogs and robot dogs, robot dogs and cyborgs.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah anyway, But so my point is both in that
ultra simple to understand trap and the super complex I
don't know what these words means, so I'll shut up.
Trap the desires the same. You obey, that's their only goal.
You obey them when they tell you this is the
way it's got to be. That's the connection to Marxism
(30:40):
and read you know, Lindsay and pluck Rose's cynical theories.
It explains brilliantly and in a way that's easy to understand.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
So do you have the actual paper UK that forward
that to me? I'm going to try to read some
of it. I don't know how far all get.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, I don't read this article.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I think I need to sign in through like my
university or something.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Wow, that is so crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Hey, hey, is there somebody who can who has access
to these scholarly papers, has like signing credentials that I
can borrow to read this thing? Email us mail bag
at Armstrong in getty dot com. You're a poor, beleaguered,
sane person working for a university against mail bag at
Armstrong and getty dot com.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
And then you send your kid to one of these
expensive places and get taught by this person nice more
on the.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Ways to hear.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Strong. So in our three we'll get into the ceasefire
using my finger quotes.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't know if this is going to happen or.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Uh, but Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire, and now
it's up to Russia where they agree in some update
on Russia's economy, which is really quite amazing, all that
sort of stuff, and then we'll also get into the
whole White House lawn being a Tesla dealership at least
for an afternoon and talking about all that with Elon
Trump getting a new car, Tesla becoming the Maga Hat
(32:08):
of cars in the last couple of weeks. But we'll
talk about that in hour three.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Who saw that?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
No kidding, Yeah, I don't mean to be flip, but
the quote unquote ceasefires a ceasefire in the same way
that if I announced I was going to become an artist,
I could talk about my art career. And by the way,
if I try to draw a cat, you'll think it's
a bear, so I'm terrible.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, we have no ceasefire anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Brett Barrow was talking to Tom Cotton last night about
his fabulous books Seven Things You Can't Say about China
Really good, really good stuff. But a couple of other
odd ball things came up and thought this was intriguing.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Daily Mail article.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Tucker Carlson has claimed that Republican centater Tom Cotton has
been working beyond the scenes to block the release of
the JFK assassination files. In the conversation with Chris Cromo,
Carlson claimed the Arkansas lawmaker prevented a key intelligence hire
in the Trump cabinet and to stop the full release
of the classified documents.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Your response, that's.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
False, I have no I have no problem releasing the
JFK files. Tucker could have called her, texted me. He
has texted me multiple times in recent weeks and asked me.
I would have told him that I've never spoken to
President Trump or any of his associates or administration officials
about the JFK files. I've never objected to someone taking
office because of their position on.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
The JFK files.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
I have complete faith and cash retail Pam Bondi, John Ratcliffe,
and Tulca Gabbard to carry out President Trump's directive on
the JFK files. I'm a little surprised that Tucker Carlson
apparently doesn't have faith and those four people, all of
whom I think he knows and personally respects that they're
going to carry out President Trump's directive.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Wow, I'm so trying to And I know some of
you have this worldview because I see your texts and
tweets and we get your emails. But I'm trying so
hard to wrap my head around the whole. There's some
secret thing going on and it involves JFK's assassination and
Epstein and Pedophile Ring and only the Jews the stuff
(34:09):
that they're putting in the food and it all fits
in the Jews and it all fits together and they're
all in it.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
And uh, like the JFK assassination.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
What is even the what is the theory that, like
Tucker believes we're hiding?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
What are we hiding and work in Sasquatch and maybe
the Lockness monster?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Then you got my attention.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
There is and I'll bet I'll bet there are folks
listening who could enlighten us about this. There is a
business model that is that reflects the reality that a medium, small,
but intensely engaged audience is more profitable than a broader,
less engaged audience as an Internet business model.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I get that, but like, I see how Pedophile Ring Democrats,
Epstein filesquatch No Epstein files all fits together.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Where does the JFK assassination fit in? I mean, what does.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's the cabal of evil doers behind the scenes. It's
just it's one more data point in that broad narrative.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
And Tucker thinks the CIA or our own government killed JFK.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I think I think that's why he thinks it's very
profitable to say so. Yes, if you miss the.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Getty and Key Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A New York longevity clinic has announced recently we'll offer
a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars annual membership that
includes anti aging treatments. You ever noticed how it's only
super wealthy people who want to live longer. That's why
anti aging treatments are a quarter million dollars. But a
Taco Bell Supreme Lox boxes five ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Here's a ten, take me out. I'm not even sure
get this.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
So a lot of what drives news cycles is the
way a story is presented or the way it gets
spun and how it catches on. I think this is
good news for the current administration that the inflation numbers
are out. It's down, it's a tiny amount, but it
beat expectations, whatever that means. But here's how CNN is
(01:10):
presenting it, and this has got it. But Trump's got
to be happy to see this. US inflation slowed in
February for first time in four months. I mean, that's
a good headline for a administration that's two months old.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, yeah, particularly given the concerns about the tariff stuff
and trade stuff that it might drive up prices.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, it's good, it's good.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
But if you're barely paying attention, which is probably the
CNN viewer at the airport, you know, seeing that inflation
has slowed for the first time, you'd have to think, well,
I guess Trump's doing a good job.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
If CNN hadn't somehow gotten into airports, would they even
still be in business?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Good question, That is a good one. I mean I
rarely find myself with the urge to go there. Yeah,
that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Coming up what may be the greatest hellilariously self beclowning
academic paper in the history. And it's a rich, rich history.
Friends of this sort of thing coming up later in
the hour. Cool, did you have something else you want
to mention?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Or that was that? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So, I, in particular was highly skeptical Last Hour What
you missed Last Hour Gravit Fi podcast arm Strong in
Getty on demand subscribe anyway, I was highly skeptical about
the current whipsaw e tariff stuff going on under Trump
these days. Worried about what it's going to do to
the economy and business, small business and big business and
(02:35):
where it all ends.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And what his plan is.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Having said that, my four oh one K, you know
anybody who says that, or any reporters who say that,
they're either morons or deliberately being misleading.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Anytime, not just with this, with any with anything looking
at your four oh one K today.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Who's looking at the four to one K every day?
And why if you want to make a ride joke
about by four one ks three oh one, kay, okay,
that's fine, But yeah, to talk seriously about it day
to day is insanity. But there are a handful of
other things going on that I think are absolutely wonderful,
and you know, I.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Just I hope we can get a lot done.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We the same in America, you know before I don't
know some of the.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Rapid rapid change.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Maybe Disroyal derails us anyway, Washington, d C crews have
begun dismantling the Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC, which
will be replaced with projects celebrating America's two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary that includes artwork by local artists. This comes
after House Republicans pressured the communist mayor Muriel Bowserd or
(03:45):
removed the plaza, which features bold yellow lettering spelling black
Lives Matter, advertising a Marxist organization that is bent on overthrowing.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The United States.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, always separating the sentiment from the organization, but generally,
you know, it's the organization that you're seeing on signs
and that sort of thing. We are talking about an
old radio colleague yesterday and we're wondering if he's still alive,
and I googled him real quick and found his Twitter
feed and he's got a Black Lives Matter thing on,
you know, pinned on his avatar, Like, what do you
(04:18):
not follow the news?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
They're criminals?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, no kidding and avowed Marxists, which reminds me I
was gonna get into something else right now.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But this is the fits so beautifully.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's it's somebody summarizing a nineteen ninety seven book, The
Foundations of Geopolitics by Alexander Duggan Dugan who wrote it's
about Russia and and their.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
What would you call it? You know, I hate that misinformation.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Disinformation has been so abused, but there they're psy ops
against their opponents. Around the world, and they've been famous
for it from you know, Soviet times through modern times
are very very aggressive about it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But I here's the quote from the book.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Russia should introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging
all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts,
actively supporting all dissident movements, extremist, racist, and sectarian groups,
thus destabilizing internal political processes in the US. It would
(05:24):
also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics.
And then a Learning to commenter commented, I once interviewed
a US military analyst whose focus was Russian influence campaigns,
and one of the most surprising things he told me
was that Russia doesn't push Americans to the left or
(05:44):
right I would interject, or toward Trump or Hillary or whatever,
or even in a pro Russian direction.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Rather, it pushes Americans in all.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Directions every sort of dissent and dissidence and anger they
want to fuel all the time. That's the strategy. Anyway,
I thought that was interesting. Getting back to the A
I'm sorry, do you want to comment on that before
we move on? Now?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It's troubling, and I just I wonder if we're clever
enough to resist that. I bounce around social media, I
would say no.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, yeah, I think, And I see Russian bots and
Russian influenced commentators on Twitter all the time, and it's
it's been successful to the extent that. And if you're
ever on social media, first of all, stop than I
(06:43):
should do. You will see people who agree on eighty
seven percent of everything absolutely in a brutal knife fight
over that last thirteen percent. And that is the Russian goal,
absolutely true. Moving along, Tom Holman, the ass kicking borders are,
(07:05):
has said he wants two hundred work site checks for
illegal immigrants every week, two hundred a week across the
country to begin enforcing immigration law.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know, it's shocking that this is at all shocking, right,
that we don't enforce immigration law. That Congress passes laws
and then we don't paying attention to them. And even
more than that, we act as if it's an abhorrent
and bizarre to enforce the law. And some cities, counties,
or states say how dare you.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Which reminds me clip seventy Michael. This is Christy Nome,
the head of the Apartment of Homeland Security Secretary.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think is the technical.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Term looking disconcertingly glamorous. In this message paid for by
the DHS.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I'm Christine Noam, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
Thank you President Ronald J. Trump for securing our border,
for deporting criminal illegal immigrants, and for putting America first.
President Trump has a clear message for those that are
in our country illegally.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Leave now.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
If you don't, we will find you, and we will
deport you. You will never return. For too long week,
politicians left our borders wide open. They flooded our communities
with drugs, human trafficking, and violent criminals. They put American
lives at risk. Well, those days are over. If you
leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and
(08:32):
enjoy our freedom and live the American dream. But understand this.
Under President Trump, America's borders are closed to lawbreakers. Follow
the law and you'll find opportunity. Break it and you'll
find consequences. The choice is yours. America welcomes those who
respect our laws because a strong nation is a safe nation.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Music is going to give me a panic attack. It's
inspired me. I'm waving a flag right now. That was
an official message. Of the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Is that a message to illegals or is that a
message to everyone that look what we're accomplishing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, I think both absolutely true. And
so the concern, and again this is not if you're
new to the show, you maybe don't get this yet.
I'm neither going to cheerlead one hundred percent of the
time for Trump, nor criticism criticize him one hundred percent
(09:31):
in the policies and his administration doesn't make any sense.
The concern in the business community is that everybody's kind
of agreed we need lots and lots of immigrant labor,
and there's no time to fill out the paperwork. And
everybody knows there's millions of illegals and they're filling millions
and millions of jobs, and industry and hotels and hospitality.
(09:52):
We're all kind of in on this together, and now
you're going to yank them out all of a sudden.
That is going to really hurt the economy. We'll have
to find out. Ah, And that's this. The head of
the EPA, the new guy, Lee Zelden, has canceled four
hundred DEI and environmental justice grants and saves nearly two
(10:13):
billion dollars four hundred DEI, which is Marxism and environmental
justice grants. I say, good for you, sir, good for you.
So that's progress towards sanity.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And the Trump administration. Oh I should have done this
after the other immigration story. They have launched the Biden
Administration's CBP one app. That's the Hey, welcome to the
US immigration system. Here's your appointment to come and apply
for asylum and then disappear into the country and never
be seen again and live without consequence. They've turned it
(10:50):
into a self deportation tool. They have relaunched the Biden
administration's smartphone application. It will now offer several features, including
allowing illegal aliens to de clear an intent intent to
self deport and leave the country. The new app will
still allow non immigrant aliens to apply for.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Non immigrant aliens what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
To apply for and pay fees for an I ninety
four Temporary travel permit line visitors travel beyond twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Miles from the border. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
In addition, the app will allow commercial importers to request
inspections for blah blah blah, but mostly it's an intent
to deport yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It was what Christy Noman was saying.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Tell us you're here and go and we'll talk about
you coming back. You don't do this. You can never
come back again. Once we find you, we'll have to
see cool we had at the bottleneck's going to be
the immigration courts and hearings, and because that's all required
by law, there aren't nearly enough to process millions and
millions of people.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
But that can change too. A lot of good stuff
to talk about today.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Fire in half of the Department of Education employees yesterday
they announced, which we'll see what that means or is going.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
To do the end of education And that's what I
heard on MSNBC.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
On well answer the question is their life after death?
Which probably should have led with that.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Sebastian Younger, who we've had on the show before, great author.
He's got a new book out about that because he
had that experience. I was going to tell you about
that and then maybe we can get him on for
a podcast someday or something, because that's some interesting stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Right now. I would love to yeah all on the
way to stay here. Ky CNN Breaking News, we.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Begin this hour with the breaking news. A key report
on inflation gives fresh encouragement to Americans increasingly very worried
about the state of the US economy. The Consumer Price
Index shows annual inflation at two point eight percent, the
first time it has slowed in some four months.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
How about that, CNN not trying to spin it somehow
in a negative way.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, it appears they've decided to veer back towards something
like reasonable news coverage as opposed to part of an
advocacy for now.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Anyway, that's the inflation news of the day, and we
got a bunch of you got all the tariff stuff
going on at the same time, and who knows what
that's going to.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Do to inflation or whatever. More on that later.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So I cut the last part of this interview yesterday
and we got to have him on for a podcast.
I would love to talk to Sebastian Younger about that.
I was trying to remember, how did he become get
on everybody's radar? He his original big well maybe you
remember you remember his original big one, A perfect storm.
The Perfect Storm was his original big one, which got
some perfect storms, which is a lot of people have
(13:33):
seen the movie. If you haven't read the book. Woo,
it is something anyway. He also did Tribe, which we liked,
and a number of other things, and has done a
lot of war correspondent and been in a lot of
dangerous parts of the world. And I was unaware of
this new book that he's got called In My Time
of Dying. Sees hanging out at home with his family
(13:56):
when all of a sudden he starts feeling really bad.
His rushed to the hospital. Turns out he's having some
sort of aneurism I'd never heard of, which very few
people survive, and he barely did. He's at the hospital,
he starts slipping away. As he's in the blurb for
his book, he says, were worth pointing out a confirmed
(14:20):
lifelong atheist who grow up as an atheist himself, and
he's not religious now, but still as an atheist, you
don't tend to believe in this sort of thing. He's
slipping away there at the hospital, and he was visited
by his dead dad who said, it's okay, there's nothing
to be scared of. I'll take care of you. That's
(14:41):
the last thing he remembers until he came to the
next day, when he was told he had suffered a
ruptured aneurysm that f you survived, and since then he
has done a deep dive on the scientific philosophical question
of is there something after we die? And all kinds
of people have had similar experiences and all that sort
(15:02):
of stuff, which I find interesting. He is definitely a
believer there's more now, and he was talking about it
and the way he presented it, and I thought this
was really interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
And I don't remember if his him or the host.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
This idea of we look at the world the way
a dog looks at the TV screen. The dog has
no idea that there's so much going on behind that
TV screen to make that happen, that it's being piped
in for somewhere else, and there's actors in the script
and all.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
These different things.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Just you know, that's the world to that dog, that
that's the way it is for us. The reality we're
seeing is just like the veneer over something much bigger
on the other side of it that we'll all become
aware of once we pass along. And I find that
notion fascinating. I believe, I actually do believe there's something
like that. But we got to have him on for
(15:55):
a podcast or something. Oh yeah, my gosh, what could
be more compelling than that?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Very few things? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh well, I have a number of thoughts on the topic,
but very little time to express them. So I will
what's that phrase, maintain my own counsel.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Do you have a science shut up in old timey talking?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Are you gonna go with some sort of scientific explanation
for why if we get enough blood cut off, we
I don't know, miss our dead relatives or something I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
In virtually the same way through all of human history
seeing those who've gone before us welcoming us. I mean,
that's a little universal and experience to be a coincidence,
says the logical part of my brain. Right, I am fully,
flamingly agnostic on this question and fascinated by it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm not And if you don't agree with me, you're
clearly wrong. Okay, heretic? Who should die? Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I just sorry to finish your sentence story of it.
So one of the all time hilarious self declouning fake
science university research papers I've ever come across in a
couple of minutes plus, Boy, the gals on the viewer stupid.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I mean, I hate the sugar, that's not breaking news.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Dumb as hell. Y are strong and getty.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
When you come in and you say, oh, you know
these men, these are men, you know, competing and competing
against women. You're assuming that the women are weak and.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Just can't do anything.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Have you seen female athletes?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
They know what they're doing.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
So I'm not sure what's going on or why this
is an issue.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Please keep doing that. That's Whoopi Goldberger on the view.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Do it?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Come on, it's Gavin Whoopy all y'all on that side.
Keep fighting that fight, die on that hill. Fantastic. Take
it all the way, you morons?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
How do you?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
First of all, I don't know how you get to
that point of view, But secondly, you don't see the
polling on such a minor issue too.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's such a minor.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Issue, it doesn't happen that often. It's just so crazy
and stupid and dangerous. No, you know, we all hate it, right,
it's not well having your party lose election after election.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Over right, I would agree that.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I just think that illustrates the delusion that these super
fringy again neo Marxist critical theory issues have become so
accepted in such a required part of the you know,
the the catechism of the American left right now, something
as absurd and indefensible as men competing and beating the
crap out of women on the sports.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Field, that they'll die on that hill.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
As you say, it's insane and I want to get
to uh, I mean that that argument was so devoid
of anything to even be worth arguing about it. It's just
an illustration of how stupid WHOOPI Goldberg is? I think anyway,
I want to get to Gavin Newsom's actual history on
this stuff in a sense, but it's worth pointing out.
(19:03):
In the one hundred meter dash, the women's world records
are equaled by fifteen year old boys. Two hundred meters,
the women's world records is equaled by fourteen year old
boys four hundred meters, fourteen year old boys on through
eight hundred meters, fourteen year olds thousand meters, fifteen year olds,
(19:26):
et cetera. Every single woman's record has been tied or
bested by a fourteen or fifteen year old lad, not
even full grown to male strength. Anybody who's ever run
into a strong boy knows it's not the same as
a strong man.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I understand your point.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
But as at my son's volleyball game the other day,
is funny watching the high school volleyball dudes. I mean
there's some saying to somebody, well, I hope his kids
are here watching him play, because he's really doing a
good job. I mean, he looked like he was thirty.
It's funny how some people developed so much faster.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, and by the time you're eighteen. I mean,
that's one of my points is there's a difference. But anyway,
so great piece by John Girardi in the National Review.
Don't be fooled. Gavin Newsom is no moderate on trans issues.
I just don't think he has any beliefs whatsoever. But
as they noted last week, Newsom is not likely to
(20:28):
actually reverse any California laws that allow students to participate
in sports on the basis of gender identity, and the
commentariat largely understand that his change of heart is transparently insincere.
But we should also note John Wrights that Newsom's record
of signing far more harmful legislation to house males in
(20:48):
women's correctional facilities with predictably devastating consequences, consequences that are
on full display in a Central California rape trial. I
love this writing twenty COVID dictator Newsom took a break
from destroying businesses, permanently setting back public school achievement, and
violating Californians free exercise rights to sign SB one point two,
(21:10):
the Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Law, a law mandating
that inmates in California correctional facilities be housed on the
basis of their gender identity. The naivete of thinking that
convicted male felons wouldn't immediately exploit this new law in
order to rape female inmates was breathtaking. And this, of
course is exactly what happened, and we could go into
(21:33):
the awful, awful.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Details of it. I can imagine. Yeah, I mean, you
got this.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Tremaine Carroll, a man who claims to identify as a woman,
raped three women allegedly in the Central Californians Women's facility
in Choutchilla, California. The three victims were all former cellmates
of Carrol, one of whom became pregnant.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Man and you're you're a woman in prison, quite possibly
you had a rough one your whole life, and then
all of a sudden you're in jail and they put
a rapist dude in there with you.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yes, because he says I'm a woman now and the
governor believes him.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
That's like torture. That is just torturing people, right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And one of the reasons, one of a couple of
reasons this hasn't generated enormous outrage because generally speaking, you
need to have at least a little bit of buying
from the bigfoot media to really generate enormous outrage. Is
that prisoners convicts don't get a lot of sympathy. But
(22:36):
if somebody, you know, committed tax fraud or sold drugs
in their hood or whatever and got busted and did
a little bit of time, the idea that a man
can check in next to them and rape them, check
into the cell with them or next to them, rape
that's horrific. And there is evidence that Carol simply lied.
This is the rapist about quote unquote identifying as a
(22:56):
woman so he could be housed with women and rape them.
He kept the masculine first name Tremaine. He's not undergone
or requested any transgender surgeries or hormonal interventions. He had
a goatee and his not at all feminine mug shop. Well,
on top of it all, he'd been charged with prior
sex crimes, raping women at gunpoint.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
That's an interesting point, I guess. But as long as
the person has a penis, they shouldn't be in the
female prison.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, yeah, you're right. I'm not saying at all that
that should be the standard. I see your point, and
it's a good one. What I'm saying is this demonstrates
the utter bizarre lack of common sense in regard by
Gavin Newsom and his people. Literally, all it takes is
(23:44):
you fill out a form says I'm a girl now,
and you get put in the women's presence.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's there is a certain.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Percentage of the audience right now, Jack listening and saying
that can't be. That can't be because it's so insane.
I promise you this now. I'm going to bring it
to you. Courtesy of Angie, It writes what does she
write something this is solid candidate for a campus madness
(24:14):
or gender bending madness feature here or both enjoy or
drink whatever, which I thought was funny, and she says
pretty sure it's not written by James Lindsay.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Lol.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well I looked into it and it is actually written
by a woman by the name of Chloe Diamond Lenau
who's on the faculty of American University. She is an
adjunct professor orial lecturer in Women's and Gender studies. Here's
your title, Queer Canine Becomings, Lesbian Feminists, Cyborg Politics and
(24:50):
Interspecies Intimacies in Ecologies of Love and Violence. Now, as
if that wasn't a mouthful enough.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Women having sex with dogs?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
No, no, you bigot and misogynist, and.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm printing over there. Oh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So that's the title, Queer Canine Becomings, Lesbian Feminist, Cyborg
Politics and Interspecies, Intimacies and Ecologies.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Of Love and Violence. Again, that's the title.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Here's the abstract, which describes what they're studying.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
This old trope. Do we need another study of that?
Do we all kind of feel like.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
We play this game yesterday with a lecture series? This
is the soft sciences are fake sciences. There are hardly
sciences at all, in fact that they occasionally poll people.
But the idea that social science is a science is
a strange bun. And what are you going to play
this game where you count on your fingers and your
toes and Katie, you get to play along again if
(25:55):
you want. How many terms and or phrases you hear
that you have no idea what they are?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All? Right? Here we go. Now this is going to
take a second, but enjoy.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
This article offers a queer lesbian feminist analysis attuned to lesbian,
queer trans canine relationships. Specifically, the article places queer and
lesbian ecofeminism in conversation with Donna Harroway's work on the
cyborg what Now and companion species to theorize the interconnected
(26:26):
queer becomings of people, nature, animals, and machines amidst ecologies
of love and violence in the twenty twenties. It takes
two key case studies as the focus for analysis, first
the state instrumental instrumentalization of dogs and robot dogs for
racialized and imperial violence, and second, quotitian queer and lesbian
(26:50):
dog relationships and becomings. Keep in mind this is not
a joke. Well it is, but it's not. In the
first the article traces how dogs are weaponized as tools
of state violence and proposes a queer lesbian feminist critique
of white supremacy and militarization.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
They can also extend he.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Got some white supremacy in there, turned it racial.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh yeah, I worked it in midway. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
In militarization, they can also extend to a critique of
the violence committed through and towards the dogs. In the second,
the article analyzes how, within lesbian, non binary and trans
dog intimacies, is that like a transgender dog where I mean,
my dog got his balls removed, but he's not a woman.
He's still a male dog. Katie is just exhausted by this.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I just I almost want to try to read it.
I mean, I'm sure I couldn't get very far, but
I almost want to try to read it.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I know, Katie, as the kids say, I can't even Yeah, oh,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I got to finish it.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
In the second, the article analyzes how within lesbian, non
binary and trans dog intimacies, dogs help articulate queer gender
sexuality and kinship formations, and as how much queer worlds
for gender sexual and kN becomings. The entanglements of violence
and love in these queer dog relationalities provides insights into
the complexities of queer and lesbian feminist world building. Lesbian
(28:13):
and queer feminist cyborg politics can help theorize the potentials
and challenges of these interspecies entanglements.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Have you forwarded this to James Lindsay? Somebody needs afford
this to Lindsay and say is this you or is
this real?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It really? Really?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It just came out a few days ago, published by
an actual woman who is an actual lecture professor on
the East Coast.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Now, we pointed out yesterday that the great Jim James Lindsay,
who he and his friends have written books about what's
going on here is it's supposed to be confusing to you.
You're supposed to not understand it. That gives them power
and that you feel dumb. Katie Katie was talking about
this yesterday. It used to work this way on me too.
I don't need more, but it used to be this
(28:59):
way on me. I hear this sort of stuff and
I'd feel dumb. So then you just kind of shut
up and let them talk. But that's the whole point.
It's worth to me so confusing and have somebody terms
and phrases you don't know what they mean, that you
just you give them the power of.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Getting to speak exactly because it's not academia. It's a
tool for conquest. It's a tool for taking over institutions.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I believe that that is one hundred percent true that
sort of thing. But like the person who wrote that,
did they know they're doing that or do they think
all that crap is real and significant?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Probably the ladder, although they are one hundred percent down
with the former as well.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
A little of both is so crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
This is like insanely elaborate crazy, but like the bedrock
crazy that so many people are caught on to, except
soft headed white ladies.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Mostly is that.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
The idea that you're a racist, and if you deny
you're a racist, that proves you're a racist. And if
you had admit you're a racist, that proves you're racist.
And anybody with two brain cells to rub together, it's like, oh,
I see what this is. It's trap, right, heads win, tails,
you lose.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
There were like three instances in there where it sounded
like these people were having relationships with.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Dogs and robot dogs, robot dogs and cyborgs.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah anyway, But so my point is both in that
ultra simple to understand trap and the super complex I
don't know what these words means, so I'll shut up.
Trap the desires the same. You obey, that's their only goal.
You obey them when they tell you this is the
way it's got to be. That's the connection to Marxism
(30:40):
and read you know, Lindsay and pluck Rose's cynical theories.
It explains brilliantly and in a way that's easy to understand.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
So do you have the actual paper UK that forward
that to me? I'm going to try to read some
of it. I don't know how far all get.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, I don't read this article.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I think I need to sign in through like my
university or something.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Wow, that is so crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Hey, hey, is there somebody who can who has access
to these scholarly papers, has like signing credentials that I
can borrow to read this thing? Email us mail bag
at Armstrong in getty dot com. You're a poor, beleaguered,
sane person working for a university against mail bag at
Armstrong and getty dot com.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
And then you send your kid to one of these
expensive places and get taught by this person nice more
on the.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Ways to hear.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Strong. So in our three we'll get into the ceasefire
using my finger quotes.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't know if this is going to happen or.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Uh, but Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire, and now
it's up to Russia where they agree in some update
on Russia's economy, which is really quite amazing, all that
sort of stuff, and then we'll also get into the
whole White House lawn being a Tesla dealership at least
for an afternoon and talking about all that with Elon
Trump getting a new car, Tesla becoming the Maga Hat
(32:08):
of cars in the last couple of weeks. But we'll
talk about that in hour three.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Who saw that?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
No kidding, Yeah, I don't mean to be flip, but
the quote unquote ceasefires a ceasefire in the same way
that if I announced I was going to become an artist,
I could talk about my art career. And by the way,
if I try to draw a cat, you'll think it's
a bear, so I'm terrible.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, we have no ceasefire anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Brett Barrow was talking to Tom Cotton last night about
his fabulous books Seven Things You Can't Say about China
Really good, really good stuff. But a couple of other
odd ball things came up and thought this was intriguing.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Daily Mail article.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Tucker Carlson has claimed that Republican centater Tom Cotton has
been working beyond the scenes to block the release of
the JFK assassination files. In the conversation with Chris Cromo,
Carlson claimed the Arkansas lawmaker prevented a key intelligence hire
in the Trump cabinet and to stop the full release
of the classified documents.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Your response, that's.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
False, I have no I have no problem releasing the
JFK files. Tucker could have called her, texted me. He
has texted me multiple times in recent weeks and asked me.
I would have told him that I've never spoken to
President Trump or any of his associates or administration officials
about the JFK files. I've never objected to someone taking
office because of their position on.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
The JFK files.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
I have complete faith and cash retail Pam Bondi, John Ratcliffe,
and Tulca Gabbard to carry out President Trump's directive on
the JFK files. I'm a little surprised that Tucker Carlson
apparently doesn't have faith and those four people, all of
whom I think he knows and personally respects that they're
going to carry out President Trump's directive.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Wow, I'm so trying to And I know some of
you have this worldview because I see your texts and
tweets and we get your emails. But I'm trying so
hard to wrap my head around the whole. There's some
secret thing going on and it involves JFK's assassination and
Epstein and Pedophile Ring and only the Jews the stuff
(34:09):
that they're putting in the food and it all fits
in the Jews and it all fits together and they're
all in it.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
And uh, like the JFK assassination.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
What is even the what is the theory that, like
Tucker believes we're hiding?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
What are we hiding and work in Sasquatch and maybe
the Lockness monster?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Then you got my attention.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
There is and I'll bet I'll bet there are folks
listening who could enlighten us about this. There is a
business model that is that reflects the reality that a medium, small,
but intensely engaged audience is more profitable than a broader,
less engaged audience as an Internet business model.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I get that, but like, I see how Pedophile Ring Democrats,
Epstein filesquatch No Epstein files all fits together.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Where does the JFK assassination fit in? I mean, what does.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's the cabal of evil doers behind the scenes. It's
just it's one more data point in that broad narrative.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
And Tucker thinks the CIA or our own government killed JFK.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I think I think that's why he thinks it's very
profitable to say so. Yes, if you miss the.
