Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty. I'm strong and Jetty and
he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
With's so many things going wrong with the world, how
can we set things right?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
How about just a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
How me a selected mail, Give the gift the fun
that stops leading us astray.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Give up the bush the room, cover them and shut down.
Got you down? There you go? So if you I'm
sure mention spudge again.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
If you weren't listening the first two hours, fudge came
up as a topic, among many other things. Have you
missed it? Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Give a friend some fudge. Indeed, on a more serious
note this, former.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Vice President Dick Cheney died Monday night at the age
of eighty four. His family said in a statement it
was due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
The most powerful vice president perhaps in the nation's history,
has passed away at the age of eighty four. After
nine to eleven, he became George W. Bush's chief strategist
to fight the war on Terror, including by means some
considered torture because they probably wore a torture.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He was a former Secretary of Defense right way back
in the day HW, maybe, and then became.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Is that right, Yeah, that's right. He wasn't director of
the CIA, was he.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't think so. Now I'm thinking of somebody else.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I think he was seck deaf under HW, and if
I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But then he was vice president
under HW's son, George. And he's also a White House
Chief of Staff, Defense Secretary, and minority whip in the
US House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Kamala Harris is claiming she was the most qualified person
ever run for president, but there are a lot of
people like Dick Cheney who had many, many high level
roles in government before they got into office and was
obviously qualified to be president. The only reason he never
ran for president, I don't know if he had the desire,
but he couldn't because of his heart. He had heart
attacks starting very very young, and at least back in
(02:36):
the day, if he had health problems, we ain't gonna
elect yet, I think. And all that stuff is out
the window now. I mean, I'm not sure any of
that matters anymore, but he is. It's where many of
us learned the word gravitas, because George W. Bush was
seen as very young and somewhat inexperienced and ran for
president and picked Dick Cheney to run with him.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And that's when.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I think Rush Limbaugh is the first person to use
that term for what Dick Cheney did for George Bush.
Giving had brought gravitas in some seriousness and heft to
the whole thing, to the ticket in which helped him win.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Back to Cheney's faulty ticker, the fact that he made
it to eighty four gives all of us hope. I
think he suffered the first of five heart attacks at
age thirty seven and had eight cardiac events. Whatever whatever
that means between the two thousand and two thousand and
eight elections.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Probably doesn't hurt. To have the best healthcare in the
world at your side, Oh yeah, and plenty of money
to pay for three yeah, at any moment, keeping it
track your vitals on a day by day basis.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
The story is to me is.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Still not completely written on how we made the transition
from nine to eleven to invading Iraq, but Dick Cheney
played a big role in it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So a couple of Dick Cheney's greatest Yeah, a couple
of Dick Cheney's greatest hits.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Here.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Here he is in two thousand and four in the
vice presidential debate with pretty pretty John Edwards, who has
a baby mama across town.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
In another story, thirty one.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Senator Frankly, you have a record in the Senate that's
not very distinguished. You've missed thirty three out of thirty
six meetings of the Dish Area Committee, almost seventy percent of
the meetings of the Intelligence Committee. You've missed a lot
of key votes on tax policy, on energy, on Medicare reform.
Your hometown newspaper has taken to calling you Senator Gone.
You've got one of the worst attendance records in the
(04:31):
United States Senate. Now, in my capacity's vice president, I
am the president of Senate, the presiding officer. I'm up
in the Senate most tuesdays when they're in session. The
first time I ever met you was when you walked
on the stage tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Oh that's a good one. Devastating.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That's not exactly Mary Anne Williamson versus, I don't know
who is Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Is George like that one? Yeah, that's a good Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I remember when George is running for a present first
term and his Dick Cheney was his running mate, and
Al Gore's running mate was Joseph Lieberman, And when Lieberman
and Cheney had their debate, all of America said, why
aren't those two the head of the ticket. It was
a very you know, educational, knowledgeable, friendly, gentlemanly, gentlemenly debate. Man,
(05:22):
you talk about a previous era. That sort of thing
does not happen now, nor will it for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Right, Well, you can't talk about Dick Cheney without talking
about the post nine to eleven era.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Obviously.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Clip thirty three is Tim Russert, the Great Tim Russert
talking to Dick Cheney.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
When Osama bin Laden took responsibility for blowing up the
embassy's in Kenya and Tanzania, US embassy several hundred died,
the United States launched sixty Tomahawk missiles into his training
sites in Afghanistan. It only emboldened him, it only inspired him,
and seemed even to increase his recruitment. Is it safe
to say that that kind of response is not something
(06:00):
we're considering in that kind of minute magnitude.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
I'm wanna be careful here, Tim, because I clearly would
be inappropriate for me to talk about operational matters, specific options,
or the kinds of activities we might undertake going forward.
We do.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Indeed, they have obviously the world's finest military, They've got
a broad range of capabilities, and they may well be
given missions in connection with this overall task strategy. We
also have to work though sort of the dark side,
if you will. We're going to spend time in the
shadows and in the intelligence world. A lot of what
(06:41):
needs to be done here will have to be done quietly,
without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available
to our intelligence agencies. If we're going to be successful.
That's the world these folks operate in, and so it's
going to be vital for us to uh to use
any means that are disposable disposal basically to that you were.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Objected for instance, dam And I don't know how much
I can share here, but we have a bearded gentleman
strapped to a bed with his bare feet in a
pan of water, attached to a couple of wires in
the car battery right now. Oh again, we're getting some
good operational information right now to move forward.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Dam we ever heard of water boarding?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Just a quick note, what do you suppose is the
golf in Iq between Dick Cheney and Kamala Harris all
of them?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Is it fifty points?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, all of the points fifty to seventy five points?
And then finally this, this is in twenty twenty one
speaking of gulfs in Iq Simpleton wolf Blitzer talking to
Dick Cheney Clips thirty four.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is that why the US went to war?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So that Iraq would become a strategic partner bash Alasad
and machmadch Medima John.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
First, you're constructing a worst case scenario there, Wolf, I
don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You think there's going to be.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I think the Iraqis will in fact be somebody we
can work with on a regular basis, that they will
have a rudimentary democracy, if you will, and I think
it'll be a successful and Wad what goes through your mind? Well,
I think Mashirasad is not long for this world either.
Looks to me like he's uh, he's on his way
(08:22):
out because of the unrest that's been occasioned by his
own people inside Syria. He's one of the least popular
leaders in that part of the world. It's it's the
Middle East and stuff happens in the Middle East. You
know what, You've covered it for years, but you cannot.
I don't think you can make the case that the
world would be better off today the Saddam Hussein we're still.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
In power, so well, regrets about a rock.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I think we made exactly the right decisions. Man.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
He always he always made that argument. Every time he
use question about it. He'd always go back to the
world is a better place with outside of Mussin Now, Okay, well, yeah,
I suppose.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But was it worth.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
The blood, the treasure of the chaos moving the counterbalance
to the Uranians?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Right right, right, right? All right, one more then we'll
wrap it up.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Thirty six Michael simply stated, there is no doubt that
Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destructure oops. There
is no doubt that he is amassing them to use
them against our friends, against our allies, and against us,
And there is no doubt that his aggressive regional ambitions
(09:29):
will lead him into future confrontations with his neighbors, confrontations
that will involve both the weapons that he has today
and the ones he will continue to develop with his
oil wealth.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That was August of two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
By the way, always worth pointing out that Sadam's own
generals believe they had weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Sadam had decided, I'm going to get rid of them,
but I'm going to pretend we still have them to
keep everybody at Bay moah a.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
If you I can't imagine anybody wanting this, but if
you ever need to revisit the why we went into
Iraq or whether it was a good idea, Christopher Hitchins
whole chapter about that in his book. And Christopher Hitchins
hated the bushes more than anyone, but he wrote an
entire chapter in hitch twenty two explaining as a lefty
(10:21):
why it was absolutely necessary that we go into Iraq.
He was pro Iraqi lost all of his friends, he
had to quit his job overtaking that stance. But it's
pretty persuasive if you ever decide to look into it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's good to be right.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
My final thought on the whole Dick Cheney dying thing
is just I wish human beings weren't so pulled toward
an exciting explanation for things, for complicated things, because it
keeps us from digging into the real reasons, which are
way more interesting. Dick Cheney didn't push getting into a
(11:55):
rack because it made him wealthy in his investments in
this or that or whatever it was. It's a combination
of groupthink and I mean different stuff that it's way
more interesting in terms of looking at and trying to
figure out how to.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Uh manage the next time around.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, interesting doesn't flip elections. Slogans do super simple slogans
do right.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
There was another passing of an actress who I couldn't
have named what she did ever in my life, but
her lifelong project is pretty interesting. I read in a
piece last night, the death of this actress. It's funny,
trust me, it's kind of funny, and a bunch of
other stuff. We can get to stay here.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
This study says prolonged use of melatonin is linked with
the higher risk of heart failure and early death and
adults with insomnia. It's not that melatonin causes these problems. Rather,
its use is an indicator of problems, because insomnia can
increase your blood pressure and inflammation, leading to serious cardiac troubles.
This study looked at the electronic medical records of more
(13:07):
than one hundred and thirty thousand adults with chronic insomnia.
It found those who took melatonin regularly for at least
a year were nearly twice as likely to develop heart
failure and more than three times as likely to be
hospitalized for the issue.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
God, I hate reporting. They don't even try well. They
do try to get clicks and eyeballs. They do not
try to tell you what's actually going on. I heard
that story presented several times, trying to make it sound
like if you take melatonin, you've increased your chance of
having art attack, which there's no indication of that whatsoever.
When obviously, I mean, the first thing I thought of was, well,
people who take melatonin are having trouble sleeping. Why are
(13:43):
they having trouble sleeping? What are all the things that
go along with that that might make it more likely
you're going to have art problems. Well, I admitted it,
and that in that story they did report, but the
multiple headlines I heard other than that, they just to
get you to click on the story.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, I mean it's just dumb.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
So people with insomnia have or heart problems, okay, and
they also take military and.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Or the kind of person and or the kind of
person that has sleeping problems and turns to medication for it,
which might include other factors.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Who knows. I don't know this story.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Elon Musk, will he be the first trillionaire. It's already
worth half a trillion dollars a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He was lost track. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Tesla's shareholders in the next couple of days are going
to vote on whether to approve this one trillion dollar
incentive package for Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Joe Hey Otani's thinking, Wow, that's real money.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
The current board chair says, we have to come up
with a pay package that keeps the world's richest man
interested in working for our company. I mean, that's kind
of the situation. If you're worth a half a trillion dollars,
you know, you ain't going to show up to work
(15:03):
and give your best effort for a pocket change, which
to him would be ten billion.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dollars or whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah, and for us, the chair there said that we
will lose his time, talent, and vision, which have been
essential delivering it to delivering extraordinary shareholder returns. Musk said
he wants a significant stake in the company as they
pivot toward AI and humanoid robot. The robot named Optimus.
(15:30):
Elon said a couple of weeks ago, if we build
this robot army, do I at least have a strong
influence over the robot army. I don't feel comfortable building
that robot army if I don't have a strong influence
over how it's used. So he wants to get a
lot of and have a lot of say and get
a lot of money out of it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
So well, to have a lot of say, that means
you have a lot of shares. He's going to control
the company, and that makes you crazy ass rich.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He's the largest shareholder currently with thirteen percent of the shares.
But they are they going to give him, for instance,
more than a twenty five percent stake in the company,
which would put him in a situation and maybe become
the world's first trillionaire, right, which because because I like
this about Elon, that would have very little effect on
(16:15):
what he wants to do with his life. Unlike Bezos,
who wants to have the biggest boat in the world
and the wife with the most operations on her face,
Elon's so focused on that that's a goal. Elon's so
focused on getting the Mars and everything like that.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
You know, Yeah, I mean it's unthinkable for most of
us to run into say one hundred million dollars and
you know, ten times that is one billion, and Elon
has five hundred of those, right or so yeah, yeah, place,
we're way beyond my comprehension.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So they're gonna vote. And then you're beyond the yachts.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You're you're past buying an island and you're into like
I'm buying the Hawaiian islands.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So I don't know that I knew who Diane Ladd was.
She's a famous actress. Apparently she died at eighty nine yesterday,
and she had been in some Her most famous days.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Were many many many years ago.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Her daughter She was married to Bruce Dernan and then
her daughter Laura Dern, also a famous actress. Mother daughter
Oscar winners. Blah blah blah blah. Here's the part I
found interesting about this old woman who died famous actress.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
She had spent.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Decades trying to unsuccessfully generate backing for her pet project,
a biopic of Martha Mitchell, the outspoken, alcoholic, estranged wife
of convicted Watergate conspirator John Mitchell. Wow, she never got
the funding. She spent her entire life trying to get
the funding to do a biopic about this.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Woman.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It sounds promise.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
She said the ghost of Martha Mitchell had visited her
and compelled her.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
To tell her story.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh Ky, and she spent her entire adult life trying
to get that movie made, and nobody would give her
the money so the ghost would quit.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hank, I'm trying. I had a meeting last week. You're
not trying hard at all. That's what you say every week.
I sent him an email that's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Gender bending Madness update comming up stay with.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Us Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So I've been taking in the Nick Fuentes on Tucker
Carlson podcast. You either know about that story or you
don't and it's role in the conversation about Republican Party
and conservatism. I want to talk about that a little
bit later.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
What's a mine?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Feel careful? Careful? I defend people wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I do have one thing that I know is could
be very dangerous to say about it, something that I
definitely agree with Nick foint is about.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Really, that's because I don't agree with him on a lot.
So that's that's intriguing. I will stay tuned. Of course,
I have to buy contract anyway, Ladies and gentlemen, the
battle goes on.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's a gender bending madness update. So I kept hearing
about this thing called the Loco. We're a Brave world.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We begin in Los Angeles, California, at the Golds Gym.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Did you tell me or not?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
That woman like.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You see exactly exactly now? He knows how to be
a man. Right now, he knows how to.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Be a man.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Stay out of the one who's locker room. We don't
want it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
He walked and one that told you.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
That is a fitness enthusiast female who undressed turned around
and saw a full grown, intact male in the locker room.
Giving her the eyeball. This adult male happens to have
a bob and earrings in and masquerades as a woman.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But Tish Hyman, the name of the young lady there
was not having it. Her last name is Hymen. I
know odd she is.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Also, it's probably worth noting I think she's a lesbian,
and there are increasing numbers of folks in the LGB
community who are saying, look, this whole fake tea thing
is doing us no good. Not to mention the notion that,
all right, I'm a butch woman, I'm not a lesbian.
(20:29):
I'm actually in the wrong body and need to be
mutilated and fed hormones and stuff like that. A lot
of gay people are like, no, I'm just the way
I'm supposed to be, and I'm gonna keep being this way.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So anyway, Miss Hyman turns around and sees this guy
I can only assume his name. The last name is
Crotum uh with a crank. He's got a full crank there.
I'm not sure he was undressed.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
But yeah, he's a grown man looking at her naked
and she wasn't having it. Next clip, she's explaining what's
going on in the line.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Road man were big and a woman's locker road, and
that's why I'm getting kicked out.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And I want to make Sean across now.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And interestingly, the people around her, including quite a few women,
are just pretending they don't hear her and don't see her,
and just have their eyes down and are moving around
like good little sheep.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Don't get the.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Attention to the old little sheep walk around women and
continue to just let men masquerading as women trample on
your rights in your private.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I would loudly say, is this actually what's happening here?
We're kicking out the woman who's complaining there's a dude
in the locker room.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's who we're kicking out. I just want to make this,
get this from the record.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, she has been kicked out of the gym and
her membership provoked. Here she is in her car explaining
today I.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Was naked in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I turn around and there is.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
A man there and like boy clothes, lip gloss, standing
there looking at me.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I'm butt naked. So the first thing I think is
maybe there's a work doing here. Maybe I missed a sign.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
I say the word sir to say sir, what are
you doing in here?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He goes, don't talk to me.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm a woman.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I have a right to be in here. Immediately, I'm
pissed because I'm butt naked. I feel violated, I feel
like weird, like I don't want to.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Deal with this right listen, how can you say you
a woman or you want to be a woman and
you don't care how women feel.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's a decent point. It's an excellent point, and one
that JK.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Rowling has made very eloquently over and over again.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And bringing up the also controversy of is it butt
naked or buck naked? Always difficult to know, you know,
it's one.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Of those things.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm a stickler, but so many people say button naked.
It's just you gotta give up because we can see
your butt, I guess. Is the theory, well, it's an
understandable mistake. Yes, anyway, So so much of the world
has woken up to the fact that the transgender madness
was that madness. But you got to remember, there are
a hell of a lot of people who are still
(23:07):
they're like still climbing the hill toward woke radical gender theory.
They're still like catching up to the activists. All of
the rest of us are way past the peak of
the madness and trying to fight it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
But that fight's going to go on for a long time.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Colin Wright has been one of the people fighting it valiantly.
He's a thinker and academic and a writer these days,
and a couple of things from him. Number one, He
tweeted the other day about a peer reviewed paper that
claims anti drag sentiment has negatively impacted k through twelve
school environments, but has provided an important opportunity to celebrate
(23:48):
how drag pedagogy can transform school environments relationship to sexuality
and gender expression, The need for a drag focused framework
for educator of preparation and school leadership programs.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Four components for centralizing drag in the preparation of aspiring teachers, counselors,
and school leaders and he writes, just in case that
didn't quite sink in, they want to expose kindergarteners to
drag shows. They're arguing that adult men dressed in women's
clothing should be invited into your five year old's classroom
to perform sexually suggestive dance room teams.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Just in front of them.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I know, I say this every time. I just I
don't get the drag thing. I don't get how it
came out of nowhere, how it has gained any acceptance whatsoever.
And the pushback is always well why not where?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I think it's better to start with the why why
are we having grown men dance suggestively in front of
little children in girls' clothing, well at.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
School, at school, why why? I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
In the same world, there's no possible explanation for it.
In the activist radical gender theory world, it is the
beginning of blur the lines between men and women and
pretending that they are multiple genders. You can change which
one you are. They do it deliberately, doing Doctor Nathan
kids obviously.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
But we've all seen the videos, the parents showing such
enthusiasm as these because they think they're enlightened.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
These dudes dance.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Around in the kindergarten or whatever with the little kids,
just like clapping them along. I don't know what's happened
or whatever, and the parents are just so enthused that
this is happening.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
What freak is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I know they are soft headed sheep, so Cullen goes
on to write for The Wall Street Journal. I was
an academic scientist at Penn State in February of twenty
twenty when I became the target of an online mob
for tweeting about transgender identity. I shared a link to
an article from the Guardian with the accompanying quote Sweden's
Board of Health and Welfare confirmed a fifteen hundred percent
(25:47):
rise between two thousand and eight and twenty eighteen. Again,
that's a fifteen hundred percent rise, meaning sixteen times as
many between two thousand and eight and two twenty eighteen
ten years in gender just diagnoses among thirteen to seventeen
year old girls. My commentary was brief, two words social contagion,
(26:08):
which it obviously is and practically everybody agrees with that. Now,
within hours, colleagues denounced me as a transphobic bigot. Anonymous
activists emailed universities to poison my job prospects. A professional
job board even published mock job listings warning others not
to hire me. My academic career never recovered, But I
(26:30):
wasn't making an offhand re marker comparing people a group
of people to a disease vectorist.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Some accused me of doing.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I was referring to research published by Lisa Littman, physician
researcher formerly with Brown University, who had coined the term
rapid onset gender dysphoria in a twenty eighteen peer reviewed
paper to describe a newly emerging cohort of adolescents, overwhelmingly
girls with no childhood history of gender dysphoria or even
sex nonconformity, who suddenly began describing themselves as transgender, often
(26:59):
after friends in their peer group did the same. Doctor
Littman proposed that this pattern was best explained by social contagion,
meaning the spread of ideas or behaviors through peer influence.
The term isn't an insult. It's a well established sociological
concept used to describe how such trends as eating disorders
and even suicide clusters can spread.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And he continues at some length which I would.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Love to read to you about how the fact that
this is now completely accepted, but the radical gender crowd
was canceling people and ending their careers right and left
for saying what is clearly true anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Final note, the LA.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Professional women's soccer team, whose name I do not recall,
there was an article about Sorry, I meant to have
it open in front of me, about the fact that
it's an editorial and op ad that says the National
Women's Soccer League LOPS that is not what it's supposed
(27:59):
to be, must adopt gender standards to keep growing. It's
written by a woman, Elizabeth Eddie, and she makes the
obvious point, you can't have dudes in women's soccer. It
will ruin the sport. Well, some of her teammates and
other players have responded. Michael Clips seventy five as a
(28:21):
player by the name of Sarah Gordon.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
We've all obviously seen the article that was written in
the New York Post earlier this week, so I really
want to start off by saying that that article does
not speak for this team in this locker room. I've
had a lot of combos with my teammates in the
past few days, and they are hurt and they are
harmed by the article, and also they are disgusted by
(28:47):
some of the things that were said in the article,
and it's really important for me to say that. And
we don't agree with the things written for a plethora
of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobe
and racist as well.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Oh wow, Yeah, that is a woman in women's sports
demanding that nobody say that men should not be allowed
to be in their sports. In essence, because she thinks
she's being enlightened and woke, she goes on.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
The article calls for genetic testing on certain players, and
it has a photo of an African player as a headline.
And that's very harmful and to me, it's inherently racist
because to single out this community based on them looking
or being different is absolutely a problem. And as a
mixed woman with a black family, I'm devastated by the
(29:41):
undertones of this article.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Wow, that is some absolute woke nonsense. Wow, difference is
in appearance. It's a male the appearance. Don't enter into it, sweetheart.
She is a soft head. She has no idea what
she's talking about. She is a woke cultist who doesn't
have the power of critical thinking. I'm sure she's outstanding
(30:04):
soccer player. Uh, But the problem is if enough of
those soft heads cultists get together and howl for your blood,
you will, like Colin Wright, see your career derailed, your
ability to feed your family derailed.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Did she mean by differences of a parent, they have
a crank.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's one of the differences. Yes, yes, the penis, the testicles,
et cetera, the bulkier skeleton, muscle, mass, lung's heart, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It is hard to believe.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Somebody could be that immune from logic in fact, but
a lot of people, including tragically a lot of women are.
And again, if you get enough of those cultists howling
for your blood, you will be harmed. It's gender bending madness.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So I kept hearing about this thing called.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, it's always interesting on the ranking of which group
is which wins out. Because I'm looking up at TV
and they've got that woman from the Gold Gym. She's
a black woman. Normally a black woman is going to
win any battle over any other group, but in this case,
she was up against a trans person, right, so.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
She even a black lesbian woman.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Wow, black lesbian woman's below on the totem pole of grievance.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
A transgender dude.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
He's a dude, that's interesting, wearing earrings and saying therefore
he gets to get into the women's locker room. It's
absolutely insane, you know, Speaking of folk attitudes, I've got
all sorts of stuff we haven't gotten to about liberal
judges turning scumbags loose on the streets, even after they
offend over and over again to hurt you and take
your stuff. That's why you want simply Safe home security.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
It is different. It's the only home.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Security you can actually call real security because simply safe
keeps watch outside your home and takes action before a
criminal breaks in.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
That's pretty cool. I got to simply Safe at my house.
Makes me feel very, very comfortable when I pull away
from the home. The cameras, the censors, the liveguard action,
all that different sort of stuff. How about the fact
that you can try it out with so little risk,
sixty day money back guarantee, no learn long term contract.
Why wouldn't you try it?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Simply Safe is like having a private security guard stationed
outside your home. Combination of AI and the UH monitoring
agents again prevent the crime before it happens. Don't miss
the sale. Go to simply safe dot com slash armstrong today.
You'll get sixty percent off any new system. This is
their best deal of the year. You won't see a

Like Jack said, simply Safe earns your business every day.
(32:35):
Get sixty percent off your new system. It's simply safe
dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe flight, simply safe.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I've got the headline of the day, which includes a beheading.
Her takes an interesting twist among other things. On the way,
stay here, all right, I'm a butch woman. Dodgers win,
they win this World Series. After they win the World Series,
they riot, Of course they do. That's what you do
in Los Angeles after your team wins. And there was
(33:03):
a giant doe. It looked to be a lot of
fun parade yesterday. Here's John Stewart on The Daily Show
commenting on that.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Here's for America this weekend.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
We finally defeated our worst enemy, Canada. Yeah, congratulationss to
Los Angeles. I hope that you are celebrating safely and
responsibly as you enjoy this very.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No what do you do?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
God?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
No fire?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Really?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
Your hope can say, he is kindling.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
What are we doing.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Whatever?
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Having a good old fashioned, wholesome water balloon celebration?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Why and when we decided it's okay to destroy a
whole bunch of public property that taxpayers have to pay for.
If your team wins, well, you know, boys will be boys.
You gotta let them. They have to have a release
vow for all that energy or or what. It's funny.
I can get excited and I manage not to destroy anything. AnyWho.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I just think the calculation has been made. Stopping it
would cause more trouble than it would save the first time.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'm not saying I agree.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Maybe the first time, it wouldn't. After that, once you
make it clear, Oh, you go to jail for a
long time and pay a.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Heavy price, So you don't want to do this.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Different topic, So, a buddy of mine who lives in
Salt Lake City where we are on the air, sent
me a clip of a musician. It was a news
article of a musician we both like named Todd Snyder,
who apparently got in a drunken fight outside his hotel
and end up in the hospital, and then when they
let him out of the hospital, he got in a
fight with the hospital because he says they should have
kept him in there. Anyway, It's a tearspornierkes drunken drug
(34:46):
addict musician sorts of stories. But he sends us to
me because we both liked this musician, and below it
on the same TV newsfeed was this story, and I thought,
this is the interesting one. The headline, and I didn't
click on it. Illegal immigrant arrested for decapitating boss and
kicking head in front of family.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh, oh, that's not in good form. Which family? I mean,
neither family?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Would it be a good I was assuming it was
his boss's family, although.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
It could be his own family.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Maybe I should have clicked on the story. So you
got the head off your boss and kicked his head.
You're not You're not okay.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I don't want you in my country, certainly not walking
the streets.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
So I would love to know what percentage of you
are even aware of the name Nick Flintes. Then I
would like to know how many of you are following
the supposed giant controversy about Nick Flines being on Tucker
Carlson Show. I'd like to know how many of you
watched it. I'd like to know how many of you
(35:55):
agree with his takes on the Jews control everything and.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I don't really have a sense of it. I have
zero sense of it. That's one of the problems with
you know, modern media and social media and all that
sort of.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Stuff is stuff very online.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Yeah, stuff gets blown into in the world of the online.
It's a very big story and people are commenting back
and forth like crazy. But that might just be like
the online world, Like my parents are very maga. I
don't know if they've ever heard the name Nick Fuentes.
I'll bet they haven't. But that doesn't mean anything either,
So I don't know. But so he's twenty seven years old.
(36:31):
He's a way out there guy politically, and Tucker Carlson
had on his show the other day and so I
did a bit of a deep dive on this. Nick
fuentt as the guy who blames all the problems of
the world on the Jews, and like was watching, he's
been kicked off of every platform. He's still on Twitter,
(36:53):
but man, he is out there with his the Jews
caused all the problems and he has million of followers.
I don't know, you know, we're a very very big country.
I don't know at what point millions of followers turns
into a movement that you have to reckon with. Some
would suggest you nip that sort of thing in the bud. Yeah,
(37:14):
I want to talk more about that because it could
be a story. If you don't get that aw or four,
get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and
Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty. I'm strong and Jetty and
he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
With's so many things going wrong with the world, how
can we set things right?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
How about just a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
How me a selected mail, Give the gift the fun
that stops leading us astray.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Give up the bush the room, cover them and shut down.
Got you down? There you go? So if you I'm
sure mention spudge again.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
If you weren't listening the first two hours, fudge came
up as a topic, among many other things. Have you
missed it? Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Give a friend some fudge. Indeed, on a more serious
note this, former.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Vice President Dick Cheney died Monday night at the age
of eighty four. His family said in a statement it
was due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
The most powerful vice president perhaps in the nation's history,
has passed away at the age of eighty four. After
nine to eleven, he became George W. Bush's chief strategist
to fight the war on Terror, including by means some
considered torture because they probably wore a torture.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He was a former Secretary of Defense right way back
in the day HW, maybe, and then became.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Is that right, Yeah, that's right. He wasn't director of
the CIA, was he.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't think so. Now I'm thinking of somebody else.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I think he was seck deaf under HW, and if
I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But then he was vice president
under HW's son, George. And he's also a White House
Chief of Staff, Defense Secretary, and minority whip in the
US House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Kamala Harris is claiming she was the most qualified person
ever run for president, but there are a lot of
people like Dick Cheney who had many, many high level
roles in government before they got into office and was
obviously qualified to be president. The only reason he never
ran for president, I don't know if he had the desire,
but he couldn't because of his heart. He had heart
attacks starting very very young, and at least back in
(02:36):
the day, if he had health problems, we ain't gonna
elect yet, I think. And all that stuff is out
the window now. I mean, I'm not sure any of
that matters anymore, but he is. It's where many of
us learned the word gravitas, because George W. Bush was
seen as very young and somewhat inexperienced and ran for
president and picked Dick Cheney to run with him.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And that's when.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I think Rush Limbaugh is the first person to use
that term for what Dick Cheney did for George Bush.
Giving had brought gravitas in some seriousness and heft to
the whole thing, to the ticket in which helped him win.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Back to Cheney's faulty ticker, the fact that he made
it to eighty four gives all of us hope. I
think he suffered the first of five heart attacks at
age thirty seven and had eight cardiac events. Whatever whatever
that means between the two thousand and two thousand and
eight elections.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Probably doesn't hurt. To have the best healthcare in the
world at your side, Oh yeah, and plenty of money
to pay for three yeah, at any moment, keeping it
track your vitals on a day by day basis.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
The story is to me is.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Still not completely written on how we made the transition
from nine to eleven to invading Iraq, but Dick Cheney
played a big role in it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So a couple of Dick Cheney's greatest Yeah, a couple
of Dick Cheney's greatest hits.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Here.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Here he is in two thousand and four in the
vice presidential debate with pretty pretty John Edwards, who has
a baby mama across town.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
In another story, thirty one.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Senator Frankly, you have a record in the Senate that's
not very distinguished. You've missed thirty three out of thirty
six meetings of the Dish Area Committee, almost seventy percent of
the meetings of the Intelligence Committee. You've missed a lot
of key votes on tax policy, on energy, on Medicare reform.
Your hometown newspaper has taken to calling you Senator Gone.
You've got one of the worst attendance records in the
(04:31):
United States Senate. Now, in my capacity's vice president, I
am the president of Senate, the presiding officer. I'm up
in the Senate most tuesdays when they're in session. The
first time I ever met you was when you walked
on the stage tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Oh that's a good one. Devastating.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That's not exactly Mary Anne Williamson versus, I don't know
who is Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Is George like that one? Yeah, that's a good Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I remember when George is running for a present first
term and his Dick Cheney was his running mate, and
Al Gore's running mate was Joseph Lieberman, And when Lieberman
and Cheney had their debate, all of America said, why
aren't those two the head of the ticket. It was
a very you know, educational, knowledgeable, friendly, gentlemanly, gentlemenly debate. Man,
(05:22):
you talk about a previous era. That sort of thing
does not happen now, nor will it for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Right, Well, you can't talk about Dick Cheney without talking
about the post nine to eleven era.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Obviously.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Clip thirty three is Tim Russert, the Great Tim Russert
talking to Dick Cheney.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
When Osama bin Laden took responsibility for blowing up the
embassy's in Kenya and Tanzania, US embassy several hundred died,
the United States launched sixty Tomahawk missiles into his training
sites in Afghanistan. It only emboldened him, it only inspired him,
and seemed even to increase his recruitment. Is it safe
to say that that kind of response is not something
(06:00):
we're considering in that kind of minute magnitude.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
I'm wanna be careful here, Tim, because I clearly would
be inappropriate for me to talk about operational matters, specific options,
or the kinds of activities we might undertake going forward.
We do.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Indeed, they have obviously the world's finest military, They've got
a broad range of capabilities, and they may well be
given missions in connection with this overall task strategy. We
also have to work though sort of the dark side,
if you will. We're going to spend time in the
shadows and in the intelligence world. A lot of what
(06:41):
needs to be done here will have to be done quietly,
without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available
to our intelligence agencies. If we're going to be successful.
That's the world these folks operate in, and so it's
going to be vital for us to uh to use
any means that are disposable disposal basically to that you were.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Objected for instance, dam And I don't know how much
I can share here, but we have a bearded gentleman
strapped to a bed with his bare feet in a
pan of water, attached to a couple of wires in
the car battery right now. Oh again, we're getting some
good operational information right now to move forward.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Dam we ever heard of water boarding?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Just a quick note, what do you suppose is the
golf in Iq between Dick Cheney and Kamala Harris all
of them?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Is it fifty points?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, all of the points fifty to seventy five points?
And then finally this, this is in twenty twenty one
speaking of gulfs in Iq Simpleton wolf Blitzer talking to
Dick Cheney Clips thirty four.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is that why the US went to war?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So that Iraq would become a strategic partner bash Alasad
and machmadch Medima John.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
First, you're constructing a worst case scenario there, Wolf, I
don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You think there's going to be.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I think the Iraqis will in fact be somebody we
can work with on a regular basis, that they will
have a rudimentary democracy, if you will, and I think
it'll be a successful and Wad what goes through your mind? Well,
I think Mashirasad is not long for this world either.
Looks to me like he's uh, he's on his way
(08:22):
out because of the unrest that's been occasioned by his
own people inside Syria. He's one of the least popular
leaders in that part of the world. It's it's the
Middle East and stuff happens in the Middle East. You
know what, You've covered it for years, but you cannot.
I don't think you can make the case that the
world would be better off today the Saddam Hussein we're still.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
In power, so well, regrets about a rock.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I think we made exactly the right decisions. Man.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
He always he always made that argument. Every time he
use question about it. He'd always go back to the
world is a better place with outside of Mussin Now, Okay, well, yeah,
I suppose.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But was it worth.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
The blood, the treasure of the chaos moving the counterbalance
to the Uranians?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Right right, right, right? All right, one more then we'll
wrap it up.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Thirty six Michael simply stated, there is no doubt that
Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destructure oops. There
is no doubt that he is amassing them to use
them against our friends, against our allies, and against us,
And there is no doubt that his aggressive regional ambitions
(09:29):
will lead him into future confrontations with his neighbors, confrontations
that will involve both the weapons that he has today
and the ones he will continue to develop with his
oil wealth.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That was August of two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
By the way, always worth pointing out that Sadam's own
generals believe they had weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Sadam had decided, I'm going to get rid of them,
but I'm going to pretend we still have them to
keep everybody at Bay moah a.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
If you I can't imagine anybody wanting this, but if
you ever need to revisit the why we went into
Iraq or whether it was a good idea, Christopher Hitchins
whole chapter about that in his book. And Christopher Hitchins
hated the bushes more than anyone, but he wrote an
entire chapter in hitch twenty two explaining as a lefty
(10:21):
why it was absolutely necessary that we go into Iraq.
He was pro Iraqi lost all of his friends, he
had to quit his job overtaking that stance. But it's
pretty persuasive if you ever decide to look into it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's good to be right.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
My final thought on the whole Dick Cheney dying thing
is just I wish human beings weren't so pulled toward
an exciting explanation for things, for complicated things, because it
keeps us from digging into the real reasons, which are
way more interesting. Dick Cheney didn't push getting into a
(11:55):
rack because it made him wealthy in his investments in
this or that or whatever it was. It's a combination
of groupthink and I mean different stuff that it's way
more interesting in terms of looking at and trying to
figure out how to.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Uh manage the next time around.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, interesting doesn't flip elections. Slogans do super simple slogans
do right.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
There was another passing of an actress who I couldn't
have named what she did ever in my life, but
her lifelong project is pretty interesting. I read in a
piece last night, the death of this actress. It's funny,
trust me, it's kind of funny, and a bunch of
other stuff. We can get to stay here.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
This study says prolonged use of melatonin is linked with
the higher risk of heart failure and early death and
adults with insomnia. It's not that melatonin causes these problems. Rather,
its use is an indicator of problems, because insomnia can
increase your blood pressure and inflammation, leading to serious cardiac troubles.
This study looked at the electronic medical records of more
(13:07):
than one hundred and thirty thousand adults with chronic insomnia.
It found those who took melatonin regularly for at least
a year were nearly twice as likely to develop heart
failure and more than three times as likely to be
hospitalized for the issue.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
God, I hate reporting. They don't even try well. They
do try to get clicks and eyeballs. They do not
try to tell you what's actually going on. I heard
that story presented several times, trying to make it sound
like if you take melatonin, you've increased your chance of
having art attack, which there's no indication of that whatsoever.
When obviously, I mean, the first thing I thought of was, well,
people who take melatonin are having trouble sleeping. Why are
(13:43):
they having trouble sleeping? What are all the things that
go along with that that might make it more likely
you're going to have art problems. Well, I admitted it,
and that in that story they did report, but the
multiple headlines I heard other than that, they just to
get you to click on the story.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, I mean it's just dumb.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
So people with insomnia have or heart problems, okay, and
they also take military and.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Or the kind of person and or the kind of
person that has sleeping problems and turns to medication for it,
which might include other factors.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Who knows. I don't know this story.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Elon Musk, will he be the first trillionaire. It's already
worth half a trillion dollars a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He was lost track. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Tesla's shareholders in the next couple of days are going
to vote on whether to approve this one trillion dollar
incentive package for Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Joe Hey Otani's thinking, Wow, that's real money.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
The current board chair says, we have to come up
with a pay package that keeps the world's richest man
interested in working for our company. I mean, that's kind
of the situation. If you're worth a half a trillion dollars,
you know, you ain't going to show up to work
(15:03):
and give your best effort for a pocket change, which
to him would be ten billion.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dollars or whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah, and for us, the chair there said that we
will lose his time, talent, and vision, which have been
essential delivering it to delivering extraordinary shareholder returns. Musk said
he wants a significant stake in the company as they
pivot toward AI and humanoid robot. The robot named Optimus.
(15:30):
Elon said a couple of weeks ago, if we build
this robot army, do I at least have a strong
influence over the robot army. I don't feel comfortable building
that robot army if I don't have a strong influence
over how it's used. So he wants to get a
lot of and have a lot of say and get
a lot of money out of it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
So well, to have a lot of say, that means
you have a lot of shares. He's going to control
the company, and that makes you crazy ass rich.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He's the largest shareholder currently with thirteen percent of the shares.
But they are they going to give him, for instance,
more than a twenty five percent stake in the company,
which would put him in a situation and maybe become
the world's first trillionaire, right, which because because I like
this about Elon, that would have very little effect on
(16:15):
what he wants to do with his life. Unlike Bezos,
who wants to have the biggest boat in the world
and the wife with the most operations on her face,
Elon's so focused on that that's a goal. Elon's so
focused on getting the Mars and everything like that.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
You know, Yeah, I mean it's unthinkable for most of
us to run into say one hundred million dollars and
you know, ten times that is one billion, and Elon
has five hundred of those, right or so yeah, yeah, place,
we're way beyond my comprehension.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So they're gonna vote. And then you're beyond the yachts.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You're you're past buying an island and you're into like
I'm buying the Hawaiian islands.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So I don't know that I knew who Diane Ladd was.
She's a famous actress. Apparently she died at eighty nine yesterday,
and she had been in some Her most famous days.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Were many many many years ago.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Her daughter She was married to Bruce Dernan and then
her daughter Laura Dern, also a famous actress. Mother daughter
Oscar winners. Blah blah blah blah. Here's the part I
found interesting about this old woman who died famous actress.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
She had spent.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Decades trying to unsuccessfully generate backing for her pet project,
a biopic of Martha Mitchell, the outspoken, alcoholic, estranged wife
of convicted Watergate conspirator John Mitchell. Wow, she never got
the funding. She spent her entire life trying to get
the funding to do a biopic about this.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Woman.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It sounds promise.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
She said the ghost of Martha Mitchell had visited her
and compelled her.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
To tell her story.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh Ky, and she spent her entire adult life trying
to get that movie made, and nobody would give her
the money so the ghost would quit.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hank, I'm trying. I had a meeting last week. You're
not trying hard at all. That's what you say every week.
I sent him an email that's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Gender bending Madness update comming up stay with.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Us Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So I've been taking in the Nick Fuentes on Tucker
Carlson podcast. You either know about that story or you
don't and it's role in the conversation about Republican Party
and conservatism. I want to talk about that a little
bit later.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
What's a mine?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Feel careful? Careful? I defend people wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I do have one thing that I know is could
be very dangerous to say about it, something that I
definitely agree with Nick foint is about.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Really, that's because I don't agree with him on a lot.
So that's that's intriguing. I will stay tuned. Of course,
I have to buy contract anyway, Ladies and gentlemen, the
battle goes on.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's a gender bending madness update. So I kept hearing
about this thing called the Loco. We're a Brave world.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We begin in Los Angeles, California, at the Golds Gym.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Did you tell me or not?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
That woman like.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You see exactly exactly now? He knows how to be
a man. Right now, he knows how to.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Be a man.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Stay out of the one who's locker room. We don't
want it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
He walked and one that told you.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
That is a fitness enthusiast female who undressed turned around
and saw a full grown, intact male in the locker room.
Giving her the eyeball. This adult male happens to have
a bob and earrings in and masquerades as a woman.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But Tish Hyman, the name of the young lady there
was not having it. Her last name is Hymen. I
know odd she is.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Also, it's probably worth noting I think she's a lesbian,
and there are increasing numbers of folks in the LGB
community who are saying, look, this whole fake tea thing
is doing us no good. Not to mention the notion that,
all right, I'm a butch woman, I'm not a lesbian.
(20:29):
I'm actually in the wrong body and need to be
mutilated and fed hormones and stuff like that. A lot
of gay people are like, no, I'm just the way
I'm supposed to be, and I'm gonna keep being this way.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So anyway, Miss Hyman turns around and sees this guy
I can only assume his name. The last name is
Crotum uh with a crank. He's got a full crank there.
I'm not sure he was undressed.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
But yeah, he's a grown man looking at her naked
and she wasn't having it. Next clip, she's explaining what's
going on in the line.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Road man were big and a woman's locker road, and
that's why I'm getting kicked out.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And I want to make Sean across now.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And interestingly, the people around her, including quite a few women,
are just pretending they don't hear her and don't see her,
and just have their eyes down and are moving around
like good little sheep.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Don't get the.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Attention to the old little sheep walk around women and
continue to just let men masquerading as women trample on
your rights in your private.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I would loudly say, is this actually what's happening here?
We're kicking out the woman who's complaining there's a dude
in the locker room.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's who we're kicking out. I just want to make this,
get this from the record.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, she has been kicked out of the gym and
her membership provoked. Here she is in her car explaining
today I.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Was naked in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I turn around and there is.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
A man there and like boy clothes, lip gloss, standing
there looking at me.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I'm butt naked. So the first thing I think is
maybe there's a work doing here. Maybe I missed a sign.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
I say the word sir to say sir, what are
you doing in here?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He goes, don't talk to me.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm a woman.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I have a right to be in here. Immediately, I'm
pissed because I'm butt naked. I feel violated, I feel
like weird, like I don't want to.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Deal with this right listen, how can you say you
a woman or you want to be a woman and
you don't care how women feel.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's a decent point. It's an excellent point, and one
that JK.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Rowling has made very eloquently over and over again.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And bringing up the also controversy of is it butt
naked or buck naked? Always difficult to know, you know,
it's one.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Of those things.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm a stickler, but so many people say button naked.
It's just you gotta give up because we can see
your butt, I guess. Is the theory, well, it's an
understandable mistake. Yes, anyway, So so much of the world
has woken up to the fact that the transgender madness
was that madness. But you got to remember, there are
a hell of a lot of people who are still
(23:07):
they're like still climbing the hill toward woke radical gender theory.
They're still like catching up to the activists. All of
the rest of us are way past the peak of
the madness and trying to fight it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
But that fight's going to go on for a long time.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Colin Wright has been one of the people fighting it valiantly.
He's a thinker and academic and a writer these days,
and a couple of things from him. Number one, He
tweeted the other day about a peer reviewed paper that
claims anti drag sentiment has negatively impacted k through twelve
school environments, but has provided an important opportunity to celebrate
(23:48):
how drag pedagogy can transform school environments relationship to sexuality
and gender expression, The need for a drag focused framework
for educator of preparation and school leadership programs.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Four components for centralizing drag in the preparation of aspiring teachers, counselors,
and school leaders and he writes, just in case that
didn't quite sink in, they want to expose kindergarteners to
drag shows. They're arguing that adult men dressed in women's
clothing should be invited into your five year old's classroom
to perform sexually suggestive dance room teams.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Just in front of them.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I know, I say this every time. I just I
don't get the drag thing. I don't get how it
came out of nowhere, how it has gained any acceptance whatsoever.
And the pushback is always well why not where?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I think it's better to start with the why why
are we having grown men dance suggestively in front of
little children in girls' clothing, well at.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
School, at school, why why? I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
In the same world, there's no possible explanation for it.
In the activist radical gender theory world, it is the
beginning of blur the lines between men and women and
pretending that they are multiple genders. You can change which
one you are. They do it deliberately, doing Doctor Nathan
kids obviously.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
But we've all seen the videos, the parents showing such
enthusiasm as these because they think they're enlightened.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
These dudes dance.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Around in the kindergarten or whatever with the little kids,
just like clapping them along. I don't know what's happened
or whatever, and the parents are just so enthused that
this is happening.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
What freak is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I know they are soft headed sheep, so Cullen goes
on to write for The Wall Street Journal. I was
an academic scientist at Penn State in February of twenty
twenty when I became the target of an online mob
for tweeting about transgender identity. I shared a link to
an article from the Guardian with the accompanying quote Sweden's
Board of Health and Welfare confirmed a fifteen hundred percent
(25:47):
rise between two thousand and eight and twenty eighteen. Again,
that's a fifteen hundred percent rise, meaning sixteen times as
many between two thousand and eight and two twenty eighteen
ten years in gender just diagnoses among thirteen to seventeen
year old girls. My commentary was brief, two words social contagion,
(26:08):
which it obviously is and practically everybody agrees with that. Now,
within hours, colleagues denounced me as a transphobic bigot. Anonymous
activists emailed universities to poison my job prospects. A professional
job board even published mock job listings warning others not
to hire me. My academic career never recovered, But I
(26:30):
wasn't making an offhand re marker comparing people a group
of people to a disease vectorist.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Some accused me of doing.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I was referring to research published by Lisa Littman, physician
researcher formerly with Brown University, who had coined the term
rapid onset gender dysphoria in a twenty eighteen peer reviewed
paper to describe a newly emerging cohort of adolescents, overwhelmingly
girls with no childhood history of gender dysphoria or even
sex nonconformity, who suddenly began describing themselves as transgender, often
(26:59):
after friends in their peer group did the same. Doctor
Littman proposed that this pattern was best explained by social contagion,
meaning the spread of ideas or behaviors through peer influence.
The term isn't an insult. It's a well established sociological
concept used to describe how such trends as eating disorders
and even suicide clusters can spread.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And he continues at some length which I would.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Love to read to you about how the fact that
this is now completely accepted, but the radical gender crowd
was canceling people and ending their careers right and left
for saying what is clearly true anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Final note, the LA.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Professional women's soccer team, whose name I do not recall,
there was an article about Sorry, I meant to have
it open in front of me, about the fact that
it's an editorial and op ad that says the National
Women's Soccer League LOPS that is not what it's supposed
(27:59):
to be, must adopt gender standards to keep growing. It's
written by a woman, Elizabeth Eddie, and she makes the
obvious point, you can't have dudes in women's soccer. It
will ruin the sport. Well, some of her teammates and
other players have responded. Michael Clips seventy five as a
(28:21):
player by the name of Sarah Gordon.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
We've all obviously seen the article that was written in
the New York Post earlier this week, so I really
want to start off by saying that that article does
not speak for this team in this locker room. I've
had a lot of combos with my teammates in the
past few days, and they are hurt and they are
harmed by the article, and also they are disgusted by
(28:47):
some of the things that were said in the article,
and it's really important for me to say that. And
we don't agree with the things written for a plethora
of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobe
and racist as well.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Oh wow, Yeah, that is a woman in women's sports
demanding that nobody say that men should not be allowed
to be in their sports. In essence, because she thinks
she's being enlightened and woke, she goes on.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
The article calls for genetic testing on certain players, and
it has a photo of an African player as a headline.
And that's very harmful and to me, it's inherently racist
because to single out this community based on them looking
or being different is absolutely a problem. And as a
mixed woman with a black family, I'm devastated by the
(29:41):
undertones of this article.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Wow, that is some absolute woke nonsense. Wow, difference is
in appearance. It's a male the appearance. Don't enter into it, sweetheart.
She is a soft head. She has no idea what
she's talking about. She is a woke cultist who doesn't
have the power of critical thinking. I'm sure she's outstanding
(30:04):
soccer player. Uh, But the problem is if enough of
those soft heads cultists get together and howl for your blood,
you will, like Colin Wright, see your career derailed, your
ability to feed your family derailed.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Did she mean by differences of a parent, they have
a crank.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's one of the differences. Yes, yes, the penis, the testicles,
et cetera, the bulkier skeleton, muscle, mass, lung's heart, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It is hard to believe.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Somebody could be that immune from logic in fact, but
a lot of people, including tragically a lot of women are.
And again, if you get enough of those cultists howling
for your blood, you will be harmed. It's gender bending madness.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So I kept hearing about this thing called.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, it's always interesting on the ranking of which group
is which wins out. Because I'm looking up at TV
and they've got that woman from the Gold Gym. She's
a black woman. Normally a black woman is going to
win any battle over any other group, but in this case,
she was up against a trans person, right, so.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
She even a black lesbian woman.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Wow, black lesbian woman's below on the totem pole of grievance.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
A transgender dude.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
He's a dude, that's interesting, wearing earrings and saying therefore
he gets to get into the women's locker room. It's
absolutely insane, you know, Speaking of folk attitudes, I've got
all sorts of stuff we haven't gotten to about liberal
judges turning scumbags loose on the streets, even after they
offend over and over again to hurt you and take
your stuff. That's why you want simply Safe home security.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
It is different. It's the only home.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Security you can actually call real security because simply safe
keeps watch outside your home and takes action before a
criminal breaks in.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
That's pretty cool. I got to simply Safe at my house.
Makes me feel very, very comfortable when I pull away
from the home. The cameras, the censors, the liveguard action,
all that different sort of stuff. How about the fact
that you can try it out with so little risk,
sixty day money back guarantee, no learn long term contract.
Why wouldn't you try it?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Simply Safe is like having a private security guard stationed
outside your home. Combination of AI and the UH monitoring
agents again prevent the crime before it happens. Don't miss
the sale. Go to simply safe dot com slash armstrong today.
You'll get sixty percent off any new system. This is
their best deal of the year. You won't see a
better price, and with a sixty day money back guarantee.
Like Jack said, simply Safe earns your business every day.
(32:35):
Get sixty percent off your new system. It's simply safe
dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe flight, simply safe.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I've got the headline of the day, which includes a beheading.
Her takes an interesting twist among other things. On the way,
stay here, all right, I'm a butch woman. Dodgers win,
they win this World Series. After they win the World Series,
they riot, Of course they do. That's what you do
in Los Angeles after your team wins. And there was
(33:03):
a giant doe. It looked to be a lot of
fun parade yesterday. Here's John Stewart on The Daily Show
commenting on that.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Here's for America this weekend.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
We finally defeated our worst enemy, Canada. Yeah, congratulationss to
Los Angeles. I hope that you are celebrating safely and
responsibly as you enjoy this very.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No what do you do?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
God?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
No fire?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Really?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
Your hope can say, he is kindling.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
What are we doing.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Whatever?
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Having a good old fashioned, wholesome water balloon celebration?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Why and when we decided it's okay to destroy a
whole bunch of public property that taxpayers have to pay for.
If your team wins, well, you know, boys will be boys.
You gotta let them. They have to have a release
vow for all that energy or or what. It's funny.
I can get excited and I manage not to destroy anything. AnyWho.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I just think the calculation has been made. Stopping it
would cause more trouble than it would save the first time.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'm not saying I agree.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Maybe the first time, it wouldn't. After that, once you
make it clear, Oh, you go to jail for a
long time and pay a.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Heavy price, So you don't want to do this.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Different topic, So, a buddy of mine who lives in
Salt Lake City where we are on the air, sent
me a clip of a musician. It was a news
article of a musician we both like named Todd Snyder,
who apparently got in a drunken fight outside his hotel
and end up in the hospital, and then when they
let him out of the hospital, he got in a
fight with the hospital because he says they should have
kept him in there. Anyway, It's a tearspornierkes drunken drug
(34:46):
addict musician sorts of stories. But he sends us to
me because we both liked this musician, and below it
on the same TV newsfeed was this story, and I thought,
this is the interesting one. The headline, and I didn't
click on it. Illegal immigrant arrested for decapitating boss and
kicking head in front of family.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh, oh, that's not in good form. Which family? I mean,
neither family?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Would it be a good I was assuming it was
his boss's family, although.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
It could be his own family.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Maybe I should have clicked on the story. So you
got the head off your boss and kicked his head.
You're not You're not okay.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I don't want you in my country, certainly not walking
the streets.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
So I would love to know what percentage of you
are even aware of the name Nick Flintes. Then I
would like to know how many of you are following
the supposed giant controversy about Nick Flines being on Tucker
Carlson Show. I'd like to know how many of you
watched it. I'd like to know how many of you
(35:55):
agree with his takes on the Jews control everything and.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I don't really have a sense of it. I have
zero sense of it. That's one of the problems with
you know, modern media and social media and all that
sort of.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Stuff is stuff very online.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Yeah, stuff gets blown into in the world of the online.
It's a very big story and people are commenting back
and forth like crazy. But that might just be like
the online world, Like my parents are very maga. I
don't know if they've ever heard the name Nick Fuentes.
I'll bet they haven't. But that doesn't mean anything either,
So I don't know. But so he's twenty seven years old.
(36:31):
He's a way out there guy politically, and Tucker Carlson
had on his show the other day and so I
did a bit of a deep dive on this. Nick
fuentt as the guy who blames all the problems of
the world on the Jews, and like was watching, he's
been kicked off of every platform. He's still on Twitter,
(36:53):
but man, he is out there with his the Jews
caused all the problems and he has million of followers.
I don't know, you know, we're a very very big country.
I don't know at what point millions of followers turns
into a movement that you have to reckon with. Some
would suggest you nip that sort of thing in the bud. Yeah,
(37:14):
I want to talk more about that because it could
