Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And Katty and he Armstrong and Getty Strong.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Every New Year, Oh my god, I get so excited
with the calendar turning to a different year because there
are three hundred and sixty five days and just oh,
I understand why everybody is applotting last night.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
What the hell I'm still in bed? Let me arroll along?
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I did?
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Of course I would only sleep with my beautiful bride. Hey,
Happy New Year, everybody, and why not kick off the
new year with how you kicked out the old.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Dear with a little armstrong and giddy replay? Enjoy.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
This is yet another message of it's not awesome them,
it's us. It's a country, it's a people, and when
these things happen, instead of the divide, this is the
time to unite.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
That is a sheriff in Michigan talking about how we've
got to do something about all this violence in the
wake of I don't know, pick your favorite bit of horror.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Of the last week and a half, two a month.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, I didn't know where you were going to say,
there if it was somebody in North Carolina from the
guy that shot up that bar whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So on the political violence stuff, it's easier because you
can talk about the rhetoric and how we're all Americans
and this is only going to get worse if we
don't blah blah blah on just the random I'm just
mad at this church, bar school, whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know. That's life. Yeah. We have, in my mind,
two distinct things happening.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Number one, there is political violence that is the culmination
of a maybe stupid and crazy, but sought out formation
of a political philosophy. You got your Antifa violence, for instance.
They know what they're doing and why they're doing it.
They all talk about it all the time. They are
a group. You have various groups on campus. You got
(02:20):
the up with Hamas, people committing various acts of violence.
You have some folks on the right who are loonies.
They have their militia in the woods whatever. Once in
a great while they committed an act of violence. That
is one thing. Then the other thing is and we've
got to recognize this, and the half with jackasses in
the mainstream media never will because they have neither the
(02:40):
capacity nor the desire to understand anything, and they suck
at their jobs and I hate them.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Anyway, the other thing that we have going is the
I'm angry, I'm probably suicidal.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I think other people should be hurt.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And sometimes those people respond to an ideology like in
the last four months before they commit their glorified suicide.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, that's what. Most of these are glorified suicides.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
And the way they get attention for their suicide is
to take a few or a bunch of people with them.
That is a different thing, and we need to recognize
that as a society, I think. But as far as
going over the details of the latest horrors and the
suspected motivations and blah blah, I just don't have it
in me.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, and there's there well not only that, is it
depressing and doun't have it in me.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
There's just no there's no point. There's just no point
in it.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So the Governor of Utah was the lead story on
the season premiere sixty Minutes last night. You know, they
got so much attention after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in
his state, and he was again on sixty Minutes last
night going on about social media and the evils of
it and how it's making us all insane and crazy.
Do you think that plays a role at all, the
(04:00):
glorified suicide stuff. I wonder if it does, just because
it makes the world seem worse than it is.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, and I think it is just.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I think the culture of this has got to be
posted online to validate the experience online is what life?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Is?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
That a lot of the because you point out to
be pleased the next time one of these shooters turns
out to be an outgoing person who is involved in
several civics organizations, right and not. He spent all his
time online. He smoked a lot of potty, played a
lot of video games. So their worldview is it's got
to be big and be posted online to matter.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And I was listening to Governor what's his name? What's
the governor Utaw? His name Cox? I can't remember his name.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
For whatever, I was listening to Governor Cox last night
talk about the social media thing and the algorithms and
how it dominates our lives, how many hours a day
people spend on it and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And I was just thinking, is there a solution?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
To this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm not sure there is He's right about all that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I think he's one hundred percent right about the damage
it's doing and how it's crazy, it's making us and
depressed and it seems like there's nothing good in the world.
And but I don't know if there's anything that can
be done about that. Spreading awareness of what you just
said through what Facebook exactly? You got to post it online,
(05:31):
post it on TikTok, have a TikTok dance about this
is bad for you with the cat I had.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The neest trend is to reject all trends.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm not optimistic about that. Okay,
So that's that. Here's a different story. They got a
lot of attention in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
It's you always go ahead, you know, you always say that,
and you're right. But that is the solution. It is
clearly the solution. Anybody's looked at it knows it's the same.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, going to happen. That's why I dismiss it. It
is going to happen. You think people are going to
turn away from from the Internet.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I think that people who turn away from the Internet
are going to turn away from the internet.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Maybe it's going to be a small percentage of people
and will be very happy. Well, okay, you're talking about individuals.
I'm talking about society. Yeah, I'm wanting society to get better.
I'm wanting all these shootings to stop. For instance, that's
not going to stop. True, Okay, well.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Then we agree on that.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Well, well it's yeah, I know, it's it's it's it's
an entirely rhetorical distinction.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
In the same way that a corporation is people. As
Mitt Romney tried to point out too much mockery, society
is a collection of individuals. There is no fixing society
quote unquote, there's only fixing individuals.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But that is doomed as well. Why would anyone listen
to this show? Can't imagine when you have many other
options out there. Listen to some happy music or somebody
talking about sports or something like that. Anyway, here's a
different news story for you.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Just five weeks before election day, the scandal scarred Mayor
of New York City, Eric Adams is dropping out of
the race. Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my
re election campaign.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So the big question is who gave him?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Both both Republicans and Democrats.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Trump offered him a job a while back, and Adam
said he didn't want to take it. So but they're
all kinds of people offering him jobs spots on you know,
a corporate board where you're not gonna have to do anything,
where you're gonna get paid a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Just get out of the damn race.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
There's so many people left, right and center who don't
want the Communists to become mayor. Democrats don't want it
because it's gonna they're gonna have that hung around their
neck for however long he's mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is you want this this party this guy. Republicans don't
want it because he's going to bring policies that are
going to be awful. So no nobody wants this guy.
So I just wonder what did Eric Adams get to
drop out? That's one story. The Iken immunity, Oh it
could be yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
And then so you got the interesting thing of one
crook dropped out so that it's now a different crook
can run alone against the Communists to see is going
to be may or New York.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
What a situation.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
But the reason I wanted to bring this up is
Wall Street Journal had an article of why young people
are turning to socialisms? What was socialism? What is the
moment that got them all interested in socialism? And according
to Wall Street Journal, the main moment for Momnami himself
and a lot of his friends and a lot of
people of that ilk today, it was the two thousand
(08:48):
and eight meltdown financial crisis.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
People that were.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Of the age that they were out and about and
new people who were losing their homes because the mortgage
rate jumped all all of a sudden, because you know,
you bought it at three percent and then it jumps
to whatever it was going to be after five years.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And people said they didn't know that or whatever.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
But that whole thing where the world crash, that's what
the Tea Party grew out of. When we had the
eight hundred billion dollar bailout for these companies that had
gone around ripping people off, they got bailed out. That
is the ground zero for all the socialist communists out
there of what turned them the direction they got turned.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that so much of the crash was
set up by stupid government policy messing with the free market.
Arnie Frank and Bill Clinton telling the banks, you got
to lend to anybody who Fogg's a mirror, otherwise we'll
bring you down. They said, all right, we'll go ahead,
and then they lent to people who had no business
having a mortgage and it all went kurb blue, credit
(09:55):
to fault swaps, et cetera. But the young people reacted
to that was we need more crappy government policy. In fact,
we need the government in charge of everything. That's how
we'll prevent this. It's like we were saying last week,
socialism is one of the greatest, most clever scams ever
created by humankind because you could get young people to
fall for it over and over again.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
It'll be interesting to see what the first polling is
with Eric Adams out and it's you know, well, some
of those people that were supporting him go to mom, Dami,
to Kami or will they all go over to Andrew
Cuomo the woman grabbing old person, killing, liar and crook.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
So can I love you?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
And that was the short version of Cuomo's resume right there. Yeah, yeah,
can we just call him the villain Cuomo or something
to summarize it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And he's the great hope to stop the awfulness of
the communists. Darling, I kissed a woman on the cheek, right, Yeah,
funny situation.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Gerty Armstrong and Getty show, So this.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Is so interesting and crazy. Steve Karnaki at NBC Polling
put this out. They asked young voters gen Z adults,
if you want to use that term, eighteen to twenty
nine years old. What they considered important to was successful life.
What is important to your personal definition of success? And
they gave them a bunch of things to choose. They
(11:31):
could choose no more than one. The numbers will make
that obvious. But the number one thing that's important your
personal definition of success among men who voted for Trump.
Young men who voted for Trump, number one thing was
having children, oh, thirty four percent, interesting, barely beating out
(11:52):
financial independence at thirty three percent, A fulfilling job and
career at thirty percent, and being married at twenty nine percent.
I family, success fulfillment, family.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I was four answers. I was joking yelling money. I
would not put that on my list of things that
make you a success.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Women who voted for Kamala Harris their top four at
fifty one percent fulfilling job and career, number two, having
money to do the things you want, number three, having
emotional stability whatever that means, thirty nine percent, and number
four using talents and resources to help others, which is
(12:34):
a lovely idea.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Emotional stability.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yeah, so, fulfilling job and career was fifty one percent,
having money to do the things you wants, forty six percent,
having emotional stability whatever that is. Thirty nine percent listed
that in their several choices. Now being married almost the
bottom six percent. Having children tied at the bottom six
(12:59):
per list of that is important a personal definition of
a successful life. In contrast to the men who voted
for Trump, having children being married was thirty four and
twenty nine percent.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, that's a problem. Obviously, you ain't gonna end up
with many kids in your country, which we don't have
lowest birth rate we've ever had in the United States
of America. I think you just explained it.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
It's not like the whole having emotional stability thing. Men
who voted for Trump that was in last place, probably
one percent of them said the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, probably with a heap and helping of what. Well,
I don't even know what you mean. So I'm gonna
put this last. Isn't that what what's weird about that is?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Isn't that something you just kind of, uh inherently want
every day of your life, starting at birth. I mean,
it's just it's like saying, I'd like to have enough
air throughout the day and enough calories to keep me alive.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I mean, yeah, well, given the fact that not having
emotional stability means you're emotionally unstable, yeah, that's you don't
want that. But the fact that really forty percent of
women listed that in their top I mean, it was
the third place, that's ten priority for life. Wow, it
(14:17):
speaks to the emotional instability of women in the modern world.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Very Now, what year did men are from Mars? Women
are from Venus? Come out? Early nineties? It's God, Now
it's men are from Mars and women are from I
don't know, some alternate universe that we've never looked into.
I mean, just how far apart they are. I'm not
claiming I am claiming this. I guess that I think
(14:44):
one is better than the other. I agree with one
much more than the other.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But there's certainly examples of unhinged young men too, but.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Again without putting a judgment on it, the two sides
are very, very far apart.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
How many times does it up in recent years that
the engine, the bulk of the people screaming like lunatics
at these progressive protests are young women. I mean, they're
just so angry and hostile and misguided and militant. And
(15:20):
there it is right there.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I don't know, I don't know what to make of that,
but like I said, it explains why we've got the
lowest birthrate we've ever had, and it would lead me
to believe that we're going to continue down that road.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I'm looking at some of the other answers, it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Seems to me in this anecdotally, God, it's way more
women than men. Anecdotally, it seems to me anecdotally that
most young women want to have enough money to travel.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That is your goal in life.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I want to travel the world and period pretty much period.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Drink after all, Sprits is at a good Instagram location
having children listed by almost six times as many men
as women, or six times the percentage.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's a problem. That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
That's a problem that you ever existed in the history
of mankind. That is the question I asked that all
the time. Has this ever happened before?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I won? You know, it's probably.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Worth as a caveat mentioning again, it was eighteen to
twenty nine year olds. And it's absolutely the case that
many men and women don't really feel think they would
have kids until they get to a certain point in
their lives, which is fine and appropriate, But given the
(16:47):
enormous gulf between men and women on that question.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's surprising.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yeah, before I make any doom and gloom judgments, I
suppose i'd like to hear those same questions put to
thirty to thirty nine year olds. Well, we're surrounded by
doom and drowning in gloom, So I don't think you
need to make that leap here.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We are.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
We're not having families, we're not having kids. The hell
they're not even having sex.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And Getty Show. So the story is.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Not, in and of itself terribly significant, I don't think,
except that it's symbolic and illustrates a point. You have
this county in New York, Chemung County. They have a
system of libraries. It happens to be a fairly conservative
part of New York. Interestingly, but they have expelled all
(17:46):
of the Tuttle Twins books from the child and youth sections.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I don't know those books.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
They are enormously popular now among especially conservative America, conservative
demand America. They are absolutely entertaining, funny, well written books
that represent traditional values.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I will read from their website.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
And help you understand gender fluidity. Oh no, they don't
really get into that.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
An innovative series of colorful, engaging books that use storytelling
to share important economics, civic and real history principles with
your child. Plus work books, audiobooks and parent guides to
empower parents and enhance learning. And they have many, many
titles and great.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
To teachers to help you understand gender fluidity. No, no, again,
I think you're misunderstanding this.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
No, you know what it is. It's books that educate.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
And I almost hate to use that word, but haven't
we all learned a ton from various stories and books
we've read about life and love and humanity and science
in some cases, and that sort of thing written from
a point of view that it is not about gender fluidity.
It's good stories that would have been written a generation ago.
(19:07):
And the response has been absolutely enormous to these books. Well,
this county library banned these books. Why they were asked
listen to this which some of the content promotes a
specific political and economic perspective that clashes with the library's
policy to include all points of view. The implication being
(19:31):
these books have a point of view, but do not
reflect all points of view, which.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Is a bizarre requirement.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
So what's the course, what's the points of view that
they do reflect?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Morale read in America?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, so if you do well, it kind of my
joke turns out it's too real. So if you don't
include gender fluidity, you're not including all points of view.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So it's the book's got to be banned.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Or if you proudly advocate for traditional civic virtues and
morality and family values, you cannot be in that library
because I quote, some of the content promotes a specific
political and economic perspective free markets, that clashes with the
(20:24):
library's policy to include all points of view. Then this
author shows the email that was leaked to them. Yet
they're banning our books. Rights Connor Boyak, who's the author
which teach kids and their parents about free markets, property rights,
personal responsibility, entrepreneurship and more. This shows that you can't
(20:45):
assume anything about anything in your area simply because we're
mostly conservative or whatever. The left has captured most of
society's institutions. They dominate the schools and the libraries, even
in otherwise conservative communities. And Connor I would say to you, sir,
we have been saying for a very long time around here.
You can live in the reddest area in the world.
(21:06):
You have a blue blotch right in the middle of
your town or county. It's your local school end or library.
But then Connor Boyak writes, I think my favorite thing
here is that they're removing the Subtle Twins books because
they alleged our books contain quote a political and economic
perspective that clashes with their policy to include all points
of view. So because our books aren't inclusive of all
(21:30):
points of view, they're excluding them. The irony is thick.
This sounds like something the Babylon b would write. Meanwhile,
what kids books are included in this library?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Let's take a look at screenshots which Jack I happen
to have in front of me.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
A is for activists.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Oh, it's an ABC board book written and illustrated for
the next generation of progressives. Families want their kids to
grow up in a space that is unapologetic about activism,
environmental justice, civil rights, LBGTQ rights, oh, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
My God, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
At the same time, here's another book that's included, phenomenal
AOC The Roots and Rise of Alexandria Acassio Cortez.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Wow Wow.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Continuing on Radical My Year with a Socialist Senator by
Sophia Warren, Moving along trans Bodies trans Selves a Resource
by and four transgender Communities in this Library. Connor goes on, wait,
(22:36):
there's more. Why not, We're having fun. Kamala raised her
hand a tribute to Vice President Kamala Harris, recounting every
time she raised her hand.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
To stand up for what she believes. So the other day,
I'll be vague about it. Let me finish the list
real quick.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Greta Tunberg Climate Activist, Beacon of Hope, The Life of
Barack Obama and I'm an activist and introduction activism teaches
people who are changing the world blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
And it's for kids.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Go on, the other day, my son was in a
situation with another kid, his age thirteen year old who
made some sort of comment that he didn't understand, and
he said, you know, what are you talking about? Or
does that mean or something like that, and the kids said,
(23:25):
what are you against bisexuals? Are you homophobic? And I
just thought, why does this come up all the time,
all the time, And it's because of these books that
they have at the schools and the stuff they teach
at school.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Plus you know, who knows what parents are talking about
all the time. Why is this topic so prevalent?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Why is it impossible to get away from sexuality as
a topic all the time? God, it never came up
when I was young, certainly at.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That age and younger. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Read James Lindsay and Helen play Cross's cynical theories about
critical queer radical gender theory and why they push that stuff.
It has to do with neo Marxism and eroding the
values of Western society.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
So you can overthrow it.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
But I'm reminded, I mean this library obviously saying some
of the content promotes a specific political and economic perspective
that clashes with the library's policy to include all points
of view, which is a ridiculous, laughable, cynical lie. And
I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes about these people.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Marxists just lie. They lie so.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Overtly and blatantly that people begin to question their own perceptions.
It works because no one expects another person to lie
so overtly. So these woke libraries, these woke schools, these
woke universities, they will out and out deny that they're
doing what they're doing. Just be ready for it.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Be aware that the nice local librarian will lie to
your face about what they're doing and why they're doing it. Yeah.
I find that very, very frustrating, and I have comments
i'd like to make, but I don't want to hurt
feelings or cause problems. But yeah, the whole library thing,
(25:16):
it's something that's the other thing Marxist count on.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
And you're talking about your personal life, So I'm not
telling you you should mess up your personal life fight,
but they one hundred percent count on you being afraid
to make the encounter hostile and unfriendly.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
They count on your niceness to win the day. Some
of those book titles you gave us, Oh my.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
God, trans bodies trans selves, there's no one way to
be transgender. Transbodies trans Selves is a revolutionary resource, a comprehensive,
reader friendly guide for transgender people, with each chapter written
by transgender and gender expansive authors.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I like the Rise of AOC, a minor congress person
who's a socialist but happens to be attractive, so she
gets lots of attention.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, good, And that book is in the library. That's right.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
And not only does it look like one eight weeks postoperatively,
it's acting like one.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
The level of kidney function is as good as we
would expect from a human kidney transport.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Holy cow, nice job, pig kidney.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So kidneys is one of the big ones, because why
do your kidneys go south on you?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Just happens?
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Sometimes high blood pressure is one major cause, because a
liver is often a drinking and drugs thing, right, But
kidneys can just fail on you. Yeah, some drugs you've
processed through your kidneys. But I don't know much about
it anyway. So you got two of those, You got
one liver, you got two kidneys, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So far?
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And then if you need a new kidney, somebody who
has a is a match for you. You can have
to take one of their kidneys, because a person can
get buying one kidney, right, but that's always been no kidneys.
That's a drag, right, and then you got to find
somebody of the kidney. And sometimes you're on the list
and thinking, man, if I don't get a kidney soon,
I'm gonna be kidney lists, which you can't be, and
then you'll die. Nobody want to say, yes, Katie, do
(27:11):
you know something about kidneys?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, yeah, I have a.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Kidney disease, and the transplant list for kidneys is the
longest out of all of the organs.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Do you still have both yours?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I do?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
They both work for the most part, yes, But if.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
There are cancers that affect the kidneys, there are all
sorts of things that can hurt them.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, how'd you ruin your kidneys? It's just a like
genetic thing. Or it's a genetic thing, gotcha, m h.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
And then but so we've been hearing about this our
whole lives. And now if they could use pig kidneys,
that would eliminate the whole problem.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
I assume, Yeah, unless you're a pig, then it causes
a whole new set of problems. But the point remains
it's an evance. More of doctor Sanjay Gupta's report.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Now, there is one complication they're watching for very carefully,
something that has unique to zeno transplants, and we have
only tim maybe all of us. If there is some
sort of weird or strange virus in the pig and
it gets into the human population through one of these transplants,
might not only affect the patient, but people around the
patient as well.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
In all the studies that we're doing, we're not only
monitoring the patient, but they're close context.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
You're right, these stories are always presented from the human
being point of view and not from the pig's point
of view, in which he would say, Hey, I was
using this.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You show me where I said
this was cool.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
It is not cool, by the way, the idea of
some horrendous pig virus spreading to humans. Doctor Fauci says,
what it's probably doing experiments in North Korea right now.
It's some leaky lab financing that good thing. Biden pardoned.
I'll never forget one more nugget from this story.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
This is really the progress of several Nobel Prize winning discoveries.
Everything from crisper, which is gene editing technology actually taking
genes out of the pig genome adding other genes in
from humans into the pig genome. They also use cloning,
They use IVF, they use transplant immunology. These are just huge,
(29:13):
huge developments in the world of medicine that have all
sort of come together to make this work. But they
basically make the pig genome compatible with humans.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
That's what they do. Two legs good, four legs bad.
That's where you end.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Up fall in love with her, cute little snout, her hooves.
Let me stroke your hooves, my love. That'd be cool
if this becomes a thing of the past, having to
worry about kidneys. Do they get to vote these half human,
half pig, well not exactly half Katie, Yes.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, I do have to tell you.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
During that report, when they were giving the guy the
ultrasound to show him the kidney, he rubbed his stomach
and went, you can feel the little piggy right there,
A little cringey.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That's very cringy.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
And do you every time you eat like bacon, do
you kind of just like not up to heaven a
little bit salute like a little.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Toast for the homies, homies or do you like vomit
it because you're you know, you're rejected? Yeah kind of
all right, yeah, it's right pigabilism anyway.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
So well, the doctor that puts your pig kidney in
you have been the most qualified person they could get
at UCLA or did they just fit the racial quotas
that they wanted. This is going on at UCLA Medical School,
one of the most you know, prestigious medical schools in
the entire world. They're clearly was clearly continuing to use
(30:33):
race and admissions. I mean, there's just no getting around
at whatsoever in the lawsuit going on right now. And
it's against the Asians because they just there's too many
Asian kids that are super smart and can qualify for
the school and not enough Black kids, and they don't
like that result.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So what do you do? You discriminate by race?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
I mean, you have the lefties, you discriminate by race
to try to fix the problem, which is just nuts
right right, The UCLA Medical is unforgivably woke.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
A new story emerges every week.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Lawsuit brought on behalf of students denied admissions since twenty twenty.
According to the complaint. UCLA will routinely admit black applicants
with below average GPA and m CAT scores. In twenty
twenty three, Asians where forty one percent of the total
applicants and only twenty eight percent of the people that graduated.
(31:27):
Black applicants made up eight percent of the applicants but
fourteen percent of the graduates.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, so at much lower scores. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Racial preferences have been outlawed in California since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Even in California, we.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Voted that now making decisions based on racis racists, we
ain't gonna do that, even in California. But of course
the enlightened universities find their way around it. Right, And
here's an idea of Black America. We just keep you know,
growing school choice and all the other things that will
actually improve education and educational outcomes for black kids, so
(32:07):
that every damn a black man or woman who graduates
from a medical school, everybody will know they're one hundred
percent qualified. Wouldn't and there will never be any whispers about,
you know, diversity hires or DEI doctors, or wouldn't that
be great?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And yet the progressives are the ones who prevent that justice.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Roberts wrote in the student's prefer admissions case that racial
preferences cannot be reconciled with the Constitution's equal protection clause
and that a student must be traded based on his
or her experience as an individual, not.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
On the basis of race.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Obbs would be my response, as I know, right, Obs,
it's amazing how hard it is to kill off this
kind of racism.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Well, they do it with the approval of their own consciences.
They are convinced that they are doing the right thing
by pushing some people down to elevate others. It's the
hubris of it has always amazed me. You think so
highly of yourself, your judgments, your morals that you can
(33:15):
wield the awful, awful tool of racial discrimination to get
the outcome that you say is appropriate. Sickening you people,
sicken me, and and god, dang it.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
This is it. I almost said a very nasty thing.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I'm glad I didn't part of me which is ia
anyway you're conflicted on this, I am. Thank you for
summarizing what really blanking pisses me off is that these
same people are putting the band aid of Look, they're
not really qualified, and we really didn't educate them at
(33:50):
government schools. But let's go ahead and shove them into
these upper tier colleges and medical schools or whatever and
then pretend like they're qualified. You are making it impossible
to actually reform schools for the little kids when they're
young and idealistic and want to learn. I'm talking about
your black kids and whatever kids of whatever race you're
(34:11):
talking about. You with your let's just go ahead and
kowtow to the teachers unions, then elevate them artificially when
they hit college. You are making it impossible to do
the real work to improve these people's lives. You hypocritical
self regarding bastards.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I hate you. You want hate speech? There it is,
I hate you. So these are these are kidneys that
are actually taken just out of a regular pig. It's
not one of those they're growing a pig valve and
a Petri dish or something.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I don't actually know that.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
I mean, the guy mentioned the many many incredible technologies
that grow in go into getting a very different I mean,
it's not a typical you can't like go down to
your local hog farm steal a kidney and then have
it stuffed in you.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
These are incredibly advanced.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Oh so it's not just a kidney run of the mill,
horble the pig kidney. No, were you listening, that's goodn't understand.
So they had to use the crisper and everything else
to bring this kidney around.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
There you go, yep, among other things. Yeah, and what
is it with the pig? Why the pig.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
The monkey, for instance, Yeah, the monkey, which is genetically
very similar. Sure, certainly apes are certainly several people I know,
I uh, fair point
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And Katty and he Armstrong and Getty Strong.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Every New Year, Oh my god, I get so excited
with the calendar turning to a different year because there
are three hundred and sixty five days and just oh,
I understand why everybody is applotting last night.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
What the hell I'm still in bed? Let me arroll along?
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I did?
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Of course I would only sleep with my beautiful bride. Hey,
Happy New Year, everybody, and why not kick off the
new year with how you kicked out the old.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Dear with a little armstrong and giddy replay? Enjoy.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
This is yet another message of it's not awesome them,
it's us. It's a country, it's a people, and when
these things happen, instead of the divide, this is the
time to unite.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
That is a sheriff in Michigan talking about how we've
got to do something about all this violence in the
wake of I don't know, pick your favorite bit of horror.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Of the last week and a half, two a month.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, I didn't know where you were going to say,
there if it was somebody in North Carolina from the
guy that shot up that bar whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So on the political violence stuff, it's easier because you
can talk about the rhetoric and how we're all Americans
and this is only going to get worse if we
don't blah blah blah on just the random I'm just
mad at this church, bar school, whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know. That's life. Yeah. We have, in my mind,
two distinct things happening.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Number one, there is political violence that is the culmination
of a maybe stupid and crazy, but sought out formation
of a political philosophy. You got your Antifa violence, for instance.
They know what they're doing and why they're doing it.
They all talk about it all the time. They are
a group. You have various groups on campus. You got
(02:20):
the up with Hamas, people committing various acts of violence.
You have some folks on the right who are loonies.
They have their militia in the woods whatever. Once in
a great while they committed an act of violence. That
is one thing. Then the other thing is and we've
got to recognize this, and the half with jackasses in
the mainstream media never will because they have neither the
(02:40):
capacity nor the desire to understand anything, and they suck
at their jobs and I hate them.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Anyway, the other thing that we have going is the
I'm angry, I'm probably suicidal.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I think other people should be hurt.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And sometimes those people respond to an ideology like in
the last four months before they commit their glorified suicide.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, that's what. Most of these are glorified suicides.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
And the way they get attention for their suicide is
to take a few or a bunch of people with them.
That is a different thing, and we need to recognize
that as a society, I think. But as far as
going over the details of the latest horrors and the
suspected motivations and blah blah, I just don't have it
in me.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, and there's there well not only that, is it
depressing and doun't have it in me.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
There's just no there's no point. There's just no point
in it.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So the Governor of Utah was the lead story on
the season premiere sixty Minutes last night. You know, they
got so much attention after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in
his state, and he was again on sixty Minutes last
night going on about social media and the evils of
it and how it's making us all insane and crazy.
Do you think that plays a role at all, the
(04:00):
glorified suicide stuff. I wonder if it does, just because
it makes the world seem worse than it is.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, and I think it is just.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I think the culture of this has got to be
posted online to validate the experience online is what life?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Is?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
That a lot of the because you point out to
be pleased the next time one of these shooters turns
out to be an outgoing person who is involved in
several civics organizations, right and not. He spent all his
time online. He smoked a lot of potty, played a
lot of video games. So their worldview is it's got
to be big and be posted online to matter.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And I was listening to Governor what's his name? What's
the governor Utaw? His name Cox? I can't remember his name.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
For whatever, I was listening to Governor Cox last night
talk about the social media thing and the algorithms and
how it dominates our lives, how many hours a day
people spend on it and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And I was just thinking, is there a solution?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
To this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm not sure there is He's right about all that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I think he's one hundred percent right about the damage
it's doing and how it's crazy, it's making us and
depressed and it seems like there's nothing good in the world.
And but I don't know if there's anything that can
be done about that. Spreading awareness of what you just
said through what Facebook exactly? You got to post it online,
(05:31):
post it on TikTok, have a TikTok dance about this
is bad for you with the cat I had.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The neest trend is to reject all trends.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm not optimistic about that. Okay,
So that's that. Here's a different story. They got a
lot of attention in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
It's you always go ahead, you know, you always say that,
and you're right. But that is the solution. It is
clearly the solution. Anybody's looked at it knows it's the same.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, going to happen. That's why I dismiss it. It
is going to happen. You think people are going to
turn away from from the Internet.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I think that people who turn away from the Internet
are going to turn away from the internet.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Maybe it's going to be a small percentage of people
and will be very happy. Well, okay, you're talking about individuals.
I'm talking about society. Yeah, I'm wanting society to get better.
I'm wanting all these shootings to stop. For instance, that's
not going to stop. True, Okay, well.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Then we agree on that.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Well, well it's yeah, I know, it's it's it's it's
an entirely rhetorical distinction.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
In the same way that a corporation is people. As
Mitt Romney tried to point out too much mockery, society
is a collection of individuals. There is no fixing society
quote unquote, there's only fixing individuals.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But that is doomed as well. Why would anyone listen
to this show? Can't imagine when you have many other
options out there. Listen to some happy music or somebody
talking about sports or something like that. Anyway, here's a
different news story for you.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Just five weeks before election day, the scandal scarred Mayor
of New York City, Eric Adams is dropping out of
the race. Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my
re election campaign.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So the big question is who gave him?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Both both Republicans and Democrats.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Trump offered him a job a while back, and Adam
said he didn't want to take it. So but they're
all kinds of people offering him jobs spots on you know,
a corporate board where you're not gonna have to do anything,
where you're gonna get paid a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Just get out of the damn race.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
There's so many people left, right and center who don't
want the Communists to become mayor. Democrats don't want it
because it's gonna they're gonna have that hung around their
neck for however long he's mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is you want this this party this guy. Republicans don't
want it because he's going to bring policies that are
going to be awful. So no nobody wants this guy.
So I just wonder what did Eric Adams get to
drop out? That's one story. The Iken immunity, Oh it
could be yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
And then so you got the interesting thing of one
crook dropped out so that it's now a different crook
can run alone against the Communists to see is going
to be may or New York.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
What a situation.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
But the reason I wanted to bring this up is
Wall Street Journal had an article of why young people
are turning to socialisms? What was socialism? What is the
moment that got them all interested in socialism? And according
to Wall Street Journal, the main moment for Momnami himself
and a lot of his friends and a lot of
people of that ilk today, it was the two thousand
(08:48):
and eight meltdown financial crisis.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
People that were.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Of the age that they were out and about and
new people who were losing their homes because the mortgage
rate jumped all all of a sudden, because you know,
you bought it at three percent and then it jumps
to whatever it was going to be after five years.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And people said they didn't know that or whatever.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
But that whole thing where the world crash, that's what
the Tea Party grew out of. When we had the
eight hundred billion dollar bailout for these companies that had
gone around ripping people off, they got bailed out. That
is the ground zero for all the socialist communists out
there of what turned them the direction they got turned.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that so much of the crash was
set up by stupid government policy messing with the free market.
Arnie Frank and Bill Clinton telling the banks, you got
to lend to anybody who Fogg's a mirror, otherwise we'll
bring you down. They said, all right, we'll go ahead,
and then they lent to people who had no business
having a mortgage and it all went kurb blue, credit
(09:55):
to fault swaps, et cetera. But the young people reacted
to that was we need more crappy government policy. In fact,
we need the government in charge of everything. That's how
we'll prevent this. It's like we were saying last week,
socialism is one of the greatest, most clever scams ever
created by humankind because you could get young people to
fall for it over and over again.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
It'll be interesting to see what the first polling is
with Eric Adams out and it's you know, well, some
of those people that were supporting him go to mom, Dami,
to Kami or will they all go over to Andrew
Cuomo the woman grabbing old person, killing, liar and crook.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
So can I love you?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
And that was the short version of Cuomo's resume right there. Yeah, yeah,
can we just call him the villain Cuomo or something
to summarize it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And he's the great hope to stop the awfulness of
the communists. Darling, I kissed a woman on the cheek, right, Yeah,
funny situation.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Gerty Armstrong and Getty show, So this.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Is so interesting and crazy. Steve Karnaki at NBC Polling
put this out. They asked young voters gen Z adults,
if you want to use that term, eighteen to twenty
nine years old. What they considered important to was successful life.
What is important to your personal definition of success? And
they gave them a bunch of things to choose. They
(11:31):
could choose no more than one. The numbers will make
that obvious. But the number one thing that's important your
personal definition of success among men who voted for Trump.
Young men who voted for Trump, number one thing was
having children, oh, thirty four percent, interesting, barely beating out
(11:52):
financial independence at thirty three percent, A fulfilling job and
career at thirty percent, and being married at twenty nine percent.
I family, success fulfillment, family.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I was four answers. I was joking yelling money. I
would not put that on my list of things that
make you a success.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Women who voted for Kamala Harris their top four at
fifty one percent fulfilling job and career, number two, having
money to do the things you want, number three, having
emotional stability whatever that means, thirty nine percent, and number
four using talents and resources to help others, which is
(12:34):
a lovely idea.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Emotional stability.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yeah, so, fulfilling job and career was fifty one percent,
having money to do the things you wants, forty six percent,
having emotional stability whatever that is. Thirty nine percent listed
that in their several choices. Now being married almost the
bottom six percent. Having children tied at the bottom six
(12:59):
per list of that is important a personal definition of
a successful life. In contrast to the men who voted
for Trump, having children being married was thirty four and
twenty nine percent.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, that's a problem. Obviously, you ain't gonna end up
with many kids in your country, which we don't have
lowest birth rate we've ever had in the United States
of America. I think you just explained it.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
It's not like the whole having emotional stability thing. Men
who voted for Trump that was in last place, probably
one percent of them said the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, probably with a heap and helping of what. Well,
I don't even know what you mean. So I'm gonna
put this last. Isn't that what what's weird about that is?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Isn't that something you just kind of, uh inherently want
every day of your life, starting at birth. I mean,
it's just it's like saying, I'd like to have enough
air throughout the day and enough calories to keep me alive.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I mean, yeah, well, given the fact that not having
emotional stability means you're emotionally unstable, yeah, that's you don't
want that. But the fact that really forty percent of
women listed that in their top I mean, it was
the third place, that's ten priority for life. Wow, it
(14:17):
speaks to the emotional instability of women in the modern world.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Very Now, what year did men are from Mars? Women
are from Venus? Come out? Early nineties? It's God, Now
it's men are from Mars and women are from I
don't know, some alternate universe that we've never looked into.
I mean, just how far apart they are. I'm not
claiming I am claiming this. I guess that I think
(14:44):
one is better than the other. I agree with one
much more than the other.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But there's certainly examples of unhinged young men too, but.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Again without putting a judgment on it, the two sides
are very, very far apart.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
How many times does it up in recent years that
the engine, the bulk of the people screaming like lunatics
at these progressive protests are young women. I mean, they're
just so angry and hostile and misguided and militant. And
(15:20):
there it is right there.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I don't know, I don't know what to make of that,
but like I said, it explains why we've got the
lowest birthrate we've ever had, and it would lead me
to believe that we're going to continue down that road.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I'm looking at some of the other answers, it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Seems to me in this anecdotally, God, it's way more
women than men. Anecdotally, it seems to me anecdotally that
most young women want to have enough money to travel.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That is your goal in life.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I want to travel the world and period pretty much period.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Drink after all, Sprits is at a good Instagram location
having children listed by almost six times as many men
as women, or six times the percentage.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's a problem. That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
That's a problem that you ever existed in the history
of mankind. That is the question I asked that all
the time. Has this ever happened before?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I won? You know, it's probably.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Worth as a caveat mentioning again, it was eighteen to
twenty nine year olds. And it's absolutely the case that
many men and women don't really feel think they would
have kids until they get to a certain point in
their lives, which is fine and appropriate, But given the
(16:47):
enormous gulf between men and women on that question.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's surprising.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yeah, before I make any doom and gloom judgments, I
suppose i'd like to hear those same questions put to
thirty to thirty nine year olds. Well, we're surrounded by
doom and drowning in gloom, So I don't think you
need to make that leap here.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We are.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
We're not having families, we're not having kids. The hell
they're not even having sex.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And Getty Show. So the story is.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Not, in and of itself terribly significant, I don't think,
except that it's symbolic and illustrates a point. You have
this county in New York, Chemung County. They have a
system of libraries. It happens to be a fairly conservative
part of New York. Interestingly, but they have expelled all
(17:46):
of the Tuttle Twins books from the child and youth sections.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I don't know those books.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
They are enormously popular now among especially conservative America, conservative
demand America. They are absolutely entertaining, funny, well written books
that represent traditional values.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I will read from their website.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
And help you understand gender fluidity. Oh no, they don't
really get into that.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
An innovative series of colorful, engaging books that use storytelling
to share important economics, civic and real history principles with
your child. Plus work books, audiobooks and parent guides to
empower parents and enhance learning. And they have many, many
titles and great.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
To teachers to help you understand gender fluidity. No, no, again,
I think you're misunderstanding this.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
No, you know what it is. It's books that educate.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
And I almost hate to use that word, but haven't
we all learned a ton from various stories and books
we've read about life and love and humanity and science
in some cases, and that sort of thing written from
a point of view that it is not about gender fluidity.
It's good stories that would have been written a generation ago.
(19:07):
And the response has been absolutely enormous to these books. Well,
this county library banned these books. Why they were asked
listen to this which some of the content promotes a
specific political and economic perspective that clashes with the library's
policy to include all points of view. The implication being
(19:31):
these books have a point of view, but do not
reflect all points of view, which.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Is a bizarre requirement.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
So what's the course, what's the points of view that
they do reflect?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Morale read in America?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, so if you do well, it kind of my
joke turns out it's too real. So if you don't
include gender fluidity, you're not including all points of view.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So it's the book's got to be banned.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Or if you proudly advocate for traditional civic virtues and
morality and family values, you cannot be in that library
because I quote, some of the content promotes a specific
political and economic perspective free markets, that clashes with the
(20:24):
library's policy to include all points of view. Then this
author shows the email that was leaked to them. Yet
they're banning our books. Rights Connor Boyak, who's the author
which teach kids and their parents about free markets, property rights,
personal responsibility, entrepreneurship and more. This shows that you can't
(20:45):
assume anything about anything in your area simply because we're
mostly conservative or whatever. The left has captured most of
society's institutions. They dominate the schools and the libraries, even
in otherwise conservative communities. And Connor I would say to you, sir,
we have been saying for a very long time around here.
You can live in the reddest area in the world.
(21:06):
You have a blue blotch right in the middle of
your town or county. It's your local school end or library.
But then Connor Boyak writes, I think my favorite thing
here is that they're removing the Subtle Twins books because
they alleged our books contain quote a political and economic
perspective that clashes with their policy to include all points
of view. So because our books aren't inclusive of all
(21:30):
points of view, they're excluding them. The irony is thick.
This sounds like something the Babylon b would write. Meanwhile,
what kids books are included in this library?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Let's take a look at screenshots which Jack I happen
to have in front of me.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
A is for activists.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Oh, it's an ABC board book written and illustrated for
the next generation of progressives. Families want their kids to
grow up in a space that is unapologetic about activism,
environmental justice, civil rights, LBGTQ rights, oh, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
My God, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
At the same time, here's another book that's included, phenomenal
AOC The Roots and Rise of Alexandria Acassio Cortez.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Wow Wow.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Continuing on Radical My Year with a Socialist Senator by
Sophia Warren, Moving along trans Bodies trans Selves a Resource
by and four transgender Communities in this Library. Connor goes on, wait,
(22:36):
there's more. Why not, We're having fun. Kamala raised her
hand a tribute to Vice President Kamala Harris, recounting every
time she raised her hand.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
To stand up for what she believes. So the other day,
I'll be vague about it. Let me finish the list
real quick.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Greta Tunberg Climate Activist, Beacon of Hope, The Life of
Barack Obama and I'm an activist and introduction activism teaches
people who are changing the world blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
And it's for kids.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Go on, the other day, my son was in a
situation with another kid, his age thirteen year old who
made some sort of comment that he didn't understand, and
he said, you know, what are you talking about? Or
does that mean or something like that, and the kids said,
(23:25):
what are you against bisexuals? Are you homophobic? And I
just thought, why does this come up all the time,
all the time, And it's because of these books that
they have at the schools and the stuff they teach
at school.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Plus you know, who knows what parents are talking about
all the time. Why is this topic so prevalent?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Why is it impossible to get away from sexuality as
a topic all the time? God, it never came up
when I was young, certainly at.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That age and younger. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Read James Lindsay and Helen play Cross's cynical theories about
critical queer radical gender theory and why they push that stuff.
It has to do with neo Marxism and eroding the
values of Western society.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
So you can overthrow it.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
But I'm reminded, I mean this library obviously saying some
of the content promotes a specific political and economic perspective
that clashes with the library's policy to include all points
of view, which is a ridiculous, laughable, cynical lie. And
I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes about these people.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Marxists just lie. They lie so.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Overtly and blatantly that people begin to question their own perceptions.
It works because no one expects another person to lie
so overtly. So these woke libraries, these woke schools, these
woke universities, they will out and out deny that they're
doing what they're doing. Just be ready for it.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Be aware that the nice local librarian will lie to
your face about what they're doing and why they're doing it. Yeah.
I find that very, very frustrating, and I have comments
i'd like to make, but I don't want to hurt
feelings or cause problems. But yeah, the whole library thing,
(25:16):
it's something that's the other thing Marxist count on.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
And you're talking about your personal life, So I'm not
telling you you should mess up your personal life fight,
but they one hundred percent count on you being afraid
to make the encounter hostile and unfriendly.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
They count on your niceness to win the day. Some
of those book titles you gave us, Oh my.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
God, trans bodies trans selves, there's no one way to
be transgender. Transbodies trans Selves is a revolutionary resource, a comprehensive,
reader friendly guide for transgender people, with each chapter written
by transgender and gender expansive authors.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I like the Rise of AOC, a minor congress person
who's a socialist but happens to be attractive, so she
gets lots of attention.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, good, And that book is in the library. That's right.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
And not only does it look like one eight weeks postoperatively,
it's acting like one.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
The level of kidney function is as good as we
would expect from a human kidney transport.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Holy cow, nice job, pig kidney.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So kidneys is one of the big ones, because why
do your kidneys go south on you?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Just happens?
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Sometimes high blood pressure is one major cause, because a
liver is often a drinking and drugs thing, right, But
kidneys can just fail on you. Yeah, some drugs you've
processed through your kidneys. But I don't know much about
it anyway. So you got two of those, You got
one liver, you got two kidneys, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So far?
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And then if you need a new kidney, somebody who
has a is a match for you. You can have
to take one of their kidneys, because a person can
get buying one kidney, right, but that's always been no kidneys.
That's a drag, right, and then you got to find
somebody of the kidney. And sometimes you're on the list
and thinking, man, if I don't get a kidney soon,
I'm gonna be kidney lists, which you can't be, and
then you'll die. Nobody want to say, yes, Katie, do
(27:11):
you know something about kidneys?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, yeah, I have a.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Kidney disease, and the transplant list for kidneys is the
longest out of all of the organs.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Do you still have both yours?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I do?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
They both work for the most part, yes, But if.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
There are cancers that affect the kidneys, there are all
sorts of things that can hurt them.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, how'd you ruin your kidneys? It's just a like
genetic thing. Or it's a genetic thing, gotcha, m h.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
And then but so we've been hearing about this our
whole lives. And now if they could use pig kidneys,
that would eliminate the whole problem.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
I assume, Yeah, unless you're a pig, then it causes
a whole new set of problems. But the point remains
it's an evance. More of doctor Sanjay Gupta's report.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Now, there is one complication they're watching for very carefully,
something that has unique to zeno transplants, and we have
only tim maybe all of us. If there is some
sort of weird or strange virus in the pig and
it gets into the human population through one of these transplants,
might not only affect the patient, but people around the
patient as well.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
In all the studies that we're doing, we're not only
monitoring the patient, but they're close context.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
You're right, these stories are always presented from the human
being point of view and not from the pig's point
of view, in which he would say, Hey, I was
using this.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You show me where I said
this was cool.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
It is not cool, by the way, the idea of
some horrendous pig virus spreading to humans. Doctor Fauci says,
what it's probably doing experiments in North Korea right now.
It's some leaky lab financing that good thing. Biden pardoned.
I'll never forget one more nugget from this story.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
This is really the progress of several Nobel Prize winning discoveries.
Everything from crisper, which is gene editing technology actually taking
genes out of the pig genome adding other genes in
from humans into the pig genome. They also use cloning,
They use IVF, they use transplant immunology. These are just huge,
(29:13):
huge developments in the world of medicine that have all
sort of come together to make this work. But they
basically make the pig genome compatible with humans.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
That's what they do. Two legs good, four legs bad.
That's where you end.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Up fall in love with her, cute little snout, her hooves.
Let me stroke your hooves, my love. That'd be cool
if this becomes a thing of the past, having to
worry about kidneys. Do they get to vote these half human,
half pig, well not exactly half Katie, Yes.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, I do have to tell you.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
During that report, when they were giving the guy the
ultrasound to show him the kidney, he rubbed his stomach
and went, you can feel the little piggy right there,
A little cringey.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That's very cringy.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
And do you every time you eat like bacon, do
you kind of just like not up to heaven a
little bit salute like a little.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Toast for the homies, homies or do you like vomit
it because you're you know, you're rejected? Yeah kind of
all right, yeah, it's right pigabilism anyway.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
So well, the doctor that puts your pig kidney in
you have been the most qualified person they could get
at UCLA or did they just fit the racial quotas
that they wanted. This is going on at UCLA Medical School,
one of the most you know, prestigious medical schools in
the entire world. They're clearly was clearly continuing to use
(30:33):
race and admissions. I mean, there's just no getting around
at whatsoever in the lawsuit going on right now. And
it's against the Asians because they just there's too many
Asian kids that are super smart and can qualify for
the school and not enough Black kids, and they don't
like that result.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So what do you do? You discriminate by race?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
I mean, you have the lefties, you discriminate by race
to try to fix the problem, which is just nuts
right right, The UCLA Medical is unforgivably woke.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
A new story emerges every week.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Lawsuit brought on behalf of students denied admissions since twenty twenty.
According to the complaint. UCLA will routinely admit black applicants
with below average GPA and m CAT scores. In twenty
twenty three, Asians where forty one percent of the total
applicants and only twenty eight percent of the people that graduated.
(31:27):
Black applicants made up eight percent of the applicants but
fourteen percent of the graduates.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, so at much lower scores. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Racial preferences have been outlawed in California since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Even in California, we.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Voted that now making decisions based on racis racists, we
ain't gonna do that, even in California. But of course
the enlightened universities find their way around it. Right, And
here's an idea of Black America. We just keep you know,
growing school choice and all the other things that will
actually improve education and educational outcomes for black kids, so
(32:07):
that every damn a black man or woman who graduates
from a medical school, everybody will know they're one hundred
percent qualified. Wouldn't and there will never be any whispers about,
you know, diversity hires or DEI doctors, or wouldn't that
be great?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And yet the progressives are the ones who prevent that justice.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Roberts wrote in the student's prefer admissions case that racial
preferences cannot be reconciled with the Constitution's equal protection clause
and that a student must be traded based on his
or her experience as an individual, not.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
On the basis of race.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Obbs would be my response, as I know, right, Obs,
it's amazing how hard it is to kill off this
kind of racism.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Well, they do it with the approval of their own consciences.
They are convinced that they are doing the right thing
by pushing some people down to elevate others. It's the
hubris of it has always amazed me. You think so
highly of yourself, your judgments, your morals that you can
(33:15):
wield the awful, awful tool of racial discrimination to get
the outcome that you say is appropriate. Sickening you people,
sicken me, and and god, dang it.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
This is it. I almost said a very nasty thing.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I'm glad I didn't part of me which is ia
anyway you're conflicted on this, I am. Thank you for
summarizing what really blanking pisses me off is that these
same people are putting the band aid of Look, they're
not really qualified, and we really didn't educate them at
(33:50):
government schools. But let's go ahead and shove them into
these upper tier colleges and medical schools or whatever and
then pretend like they're qualified. You are making it impossible
to actually reform schools for the little kids when they're
young and idealistic and want to learn. I'm talking about
your black kids and whatever kids of whatever race you're
(34:11):
talking about. You with your let's just go ahead and
kowtow to the teachers unions, then elevate them artificially when
they hit college. You are making it impossible to do
the real work to improve these people's lives. You hypocritical
self regarding bastards.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I hate you. You want hate speech? There it is,
I hate you. So these are these are kidneys that
are actually taken just out of a regular pig. It's
not one of those they're growing a pig valve and
a Petri dish or something.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I don't actually know that.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
I mean, the guy mentioned the many many incredible technologies
that grow in go into getting a very different I mean,
it's not a typical you can't like go down to
your local hog farm steal a kidney and then have
it stuffed in you.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
These are incredibly advanced.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Oh so it's not just a kidney run of the mill,
horble the pig kidney. No, were you listening, that's goodn't understand.
So they had to use the crisper and everything else
to bring this kidney around.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
There you go, yep, among other things. Yeah, and what
is it with the pig? Why the pig.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
The monkey, for instance, Yeah, the monkey, which is genetically
very similar. Sure, certainly apes are certainly several people I know,
I uh, fair point

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
