Speaker 1 (00:03):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and
Jacket and now he arm drawn yet live from studio scene,
(00:26):
say a deadly lit room, deepen in the bowels of
the Armstrong and getting communications compound. Hey y'all, today little Friday,
the week flew by. We're under the tutelage of our
general manager, Florida Attorney General, James Offmeier. Why would the
Florida Attorney General be our general manager? An apt question. Indeed,
(00:48):
he has filed lawsuits against a bunch of hospitals and
entities for mutilating children in experimental sex change procedures. This
is an enormously impactful story, and it's getting practically zero coverage.
Wow wow, And what could be the repercussions of that? Well, exactly.
(01:11):
And I've looked at the lawsuit. I've listened to his
description of it. This is no you know, meaningless political
internet gesture. This is a serious man making a serious effort.
We'll talk more about that, obviously. Yeah, I have questions
about that. I didn't want to ask about that. And
then and that just reminds me this story I was
just reading in the New York Times. A transgender cancer
(01:33):
patient secretly recorded her surgery. Here's what she heard. Have
you seen this story?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, I haven't. So this poor person is dying of
cancer and undergoing like yet another surgery on cancer tumors
and stuff like that, but for whatever reason, decides to record,
without the knowledge of the doctors, their conversations while they're
under uh, which would be an interesting thing for any
(02:03):
of us to do. Yes, yeah, if only. Oh, it's funny.
These guys are really into sports or whatever. Yeah. I
don't know, man. It was creeping me out reading about it,
just thinking about if I was one of the doctors.
I mean, is so is it? Do I need to
talk as if the person is awake even though they're asleep,
(02:28):
because how online is the human body on the table
the main topic of conversation. I mean, the procedure obviously
is going to be discussed, But what are their comments, like, well,
what is this tattoo? Wow, that's weird? You know what
is there? Stuff like? Probably yeah, probably is. Yeah. It's
how I'm fronted with a couple of surgeons and they
did they jam music and then laugh and talk about
(02:50):
life and the rest of it, the same things everybody
does when they're at work. But of course in this case,
somebody said, is this a he or a she? Stuff
like that. Yeah, that's that's gonna happen if you are
trying to dabble with sex changey stuff. And how outraged
should we all be that that conversation has had while
this person was under anesthesia. How does not in the
(03:14):
least suit you later, I thought it was a concept
of it was interesting. Yeah, I guess I'm scrolling through
various news outlets. I can't find any coverage of this
of the Attorney general going after the doctors, so the
Florida thing. Yeah, well, do you have a lot of questions, Matt?
I suppose I could do it news search, but I'll
(03:36):
wait till we get to the full story. Have you
seen the video of us going on that oil tanker,
the Venezuelan oil tanker. Yes, getting a lot of attention.
I took a relatively high amount of coverage on that,
and then just heard the actual explanation from some military
guy on News Nation a little bit ago. I hadn't
(03:57):
heard this person's anybody else say this. It had practically
nothing to do with our drug thing that we're doing
in Venezuela, or a whole bunch of other things. It's
it's like a separate action that there are I forget
if the guys said a hundred or hundreds, but either way,
(04:17):
it's a lot of these falsely flagged oil tankers that
are floating all around the world shipping oil all the time,
and for some reason, the world just puts up with it. Yeah,
the shadow fleet is that what they call it. I
don't think that's what it was called. I think it
was a different world word, but similar to that the
dark fleets or the dark something, the ghost fleet. Who
(04:40):
but anyway, I guess it goes on all the time.
There are many, many of these giant oil tankers that
move around that everybody knows they're you know, it's a
rainy and oil or Russian oil or China getting oil
to North Korea or whatever the hell it is, and
the world just puts up with it because it would
be messy to deal with or something. But anyway, yesterday
Trump administration, we boarded one of those ships. So he
(05:03):
was positing that this is just a coincidence that a
ship from Venezuela carrying oil to Cuba was the one
we busted. I don't know if he was specific He
didn't specifically use the word coincidence, but said it's not
it's not directly related to the He said, it's not
directly related to the whole drug thing. It certainly could
be related to the regime change thing. Oh yeah, which
(05:26):
is related to the drug thing. They're inseparable. They're a
narco cartel running a country. We shouldn't put up with that.
I mean, if oil sanctions are like the number one
tool of you know, the good guys, you can't just
let hundreds of these ships float around the world move
oil around. Or we're from Belgium. Yeah, that's it. They
(05:47):
had a Belgian flag and then nothing to do with Belgium.
Who want to say a waffle, we're shipping waffles around
the world. Were from We're from Belgium. Don't mind my
Middle Eastern accent. We have a clip about this. If
you want me to play it real quick, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It appears as out of the Country was not flying
a proper flag, as the Maritime Administration says that they
observed the proliferation and unacceptable trend of the unauthorized use
of our flag by vessels that are not registered to
our country.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
This is something that is typical using our flag without
authors and aid and we're not putting up with that.
Just I just I just I didn't know that that
was going on as regularly as it was, and everybody
knew it, and everybody said, well, what are you gonna do? Yeah, yeah,
well you got an evil, violent narco state that exports
crime and all sorts of stuff and one of their
you know, other avenues, revenues oil. So yeah, I don't
(06:39):
I don't think this is a coincidence or something. So
this particular military, this particular military, unless that it has
more to do with trying to keep the oil sanctions
that are hurting Russia on than what we're doing in Venezuela. Hmmm,
which which is so an interesting thing in the midst
of the peace talks. If it's to send the message
(06:59):
to put that hey, this hole you getting around the
sanctions the eyt and gott to go on forever, that
would be an interesting twist. I could see that. And
as long as we've got all the personnel in the Caribbean,
we decided to illustrate that point there. That's the only
way I could see that being true of it? Eh,
wait and see interesting. Let's start the show officially on
a Thursday. So Christmas is two weeks from today? Do
(07:21):
I have my math right today? Crack? I am starting
to feel the pressure as I have purchased zero prisons.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,
December eleventh, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and
getting we approve of this program. Let's begin then officially
according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go, leaping
into action at Mark.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
If I just said, like, there's only one thing you
can ever have for the rest of time, which admittedly
would be a bit monotonous, but it would probably be
a cheezburger, because cheeseburgers are amazing. It's a genius invention
we love.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Of must ladies and gentlemen. And I agree with him
one hundred percent. My top three foods have always been steak, gravy, churger.
But if I could only eat one for the rest
of my life, I'd probably go cheeseburger. Truth bombes elon
musk freaking cheeseburgers. Man, Yeah, yeah, speaking of which, Yeah,
funny coincidence. A word from our good friends at Omaha

it's possible I can make it through the entire four
hour show without door dashing and cheeseburger. At this point,
(09:21):
I think I will. Now it's just a matter of
from where. The time of day is a bit of
an issue, isn't it. McDonald's the serving cheeseburgers. Now that's
not really the cheeseburger I want. Well, you know what it's.
It's like, you know, it's not the right blood type,
but it won't kill you. It's an emergency. You need blood.
(09:44):
Now you need a cheeseburger. Now, cheeseburger emergency exactly. We
got Katie's headlines on the way and lots of other
stuff to get to stay here strong. The The House
is voting on some sort of legislation to cover the
Obamacare people whose subsidies are going to go up because
(10:07):
COVID ended and it's expected to fail. I don't know
why that's the story, but maybe more on that later.
I think the main story is the GOP has no alternative,
they have no coherent plan, they have no message to
sell to the American people, or just in disarray. It's unbelievable.
A lot to get to today, including the blockbuster lawsuit
(10:29):
out of Florida that's getting virtually no coverage suing the
gender bending doctor Mengela like transition doctors. We'll cover it
for you because nobody else is, apparently, but first let's
figure out who suporting what. It's the lead story with
Katie Green. Katie, I was gred, you know. I was
going through our joke submissions from various people texting us.
(10:50):
I'm sure I'd heard this before, but for whateverver reason
in my life, maybe it's because I'm sick. What do
you call it? Cow with no legs? Ground beef made,
that's elastic there, It is a classic. For some reason,
I was picturing the cow out in the meadow, just there,
(11:12):
just round, he there, not going anywhere? Really, right?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
What do you call a cow jumping over a barbed
wire fence? An utter catastrophe?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It's more fine b fine humor. I like that. Oh right.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
The story the tanker, the headlines ABC US sees his
tanker off the coast of Venezuela from the New York Times.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oil tanker that.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
The US seized has faked its location before and from
Fox Venezuela accuses US of piracy after seizing massive oil tanker.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, it's interesting. So we got the whole Venezuela thing going,
We got all the Maybe that's it what you said.
Maybe it's just a fact that, Yeah, these ships are
floating around the ocean all the time. We got a
quarter of the world's biggest navy sitting right there. Might
as well put up with it in this instance, right
or in this case, the coast Guard, which many folks forget,
(12:10):
is one of our great armed services. But you ain't
gonna fight the coast Guard with the whole navy around you, right.
Oh yeah, Yeah, that was a factor. From the Wall Street.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Journal bed shared, Jerome Powell says US may be drastically
overstating jobs numbers.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah. I saw that. I was going to bring that up.
And is that because of the whole government shut down,
we don't actually know what the job's numbers are. That
didn't really factor into it. It's just there's a pattern
of revising job numbers downward. Well, that's what Trump was
complaining of for a long time that our method for
(12:53):
counting this is antiquated and horrible. So why we lack attention?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah, for the Washington Post, Republicans struggle to unite on
healthcare as Obama's subsidies expire.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, what's troubling about this is the reason the Republican
It's not just like a lack of organization or whatever.
There's a heck of a lot of Republicans, including the
President of the United States, who doesn't want, you know,
costs to go up for people because it's you know,
it's a losing argument, even though I mean, should you
(13:27):
should win this arguments A lett percent sure of This
is what they were before we made an exception for COVID,
the great cantaster for COVID. Now they're just going back
to the Biden era Democrat legislation numbers. What's wrong with that?
But we have some audio of Ron Johnson, the thirdly
reasonable senator from Wisconsin, talking about this, and the messaging
(13:48):
is perfect, and it's shocking because I haven't heard anybody
say what he said. It's just so the evil Party
and the Stupid Party.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
From NBC Survey said as twenty eight percent of US
teens say they use AI chatbots daily.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I do. Ben's what you're using it for? Are using
it for companionship, for sex? Or to answer to cheat
at school? A recipe or recipe? Yeah, exactly, or something benign.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
From the Telegraph, Australian teenagers already skirt the world's first
social media band.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Uh. Yeah, I had no doubt that would happen, at
least to some extent. But it might just be a
good run through for Okay, this is how kids get
around bands, This is the weak points, this is what
we need to know going forward. So I still say
it's worth trying. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I just think they need to up the technology on
how they're determining the age because apparently all they had
to do was frown at the cameras and they asked
the face ID.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
So really sophisticated rules. Yeah wow, frowning makes you look
significantly older, right, I'll be damned. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
From the New York Post, Hungover Russians delayed to Ukraine's
Pearls Harbor style.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Attack on Moscow. Yeah, I read that whole story. That's interesting. Well,
I talk about that later to fill in all the
gaps it takes a little while.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
From study Fines, survey says average child's allowance has reached
fifty two dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's gonna be it's got to be close to right.
Even if I think about my own allowance as a
kid and adjust it for inflation, it's probably about right. Yeah,
that's barely thirteen bucks a week. That doesn't seem that crazy.
And finally from the Babylon Bee.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Trump announces aid package to farmers to help them deal
with how amazing the economy is.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah. So it's interesting that young people got past the
camera as an adult by frowning, because a lot of
people develop a perma frown as they get older. And
I've talked about this on the air, but I wanted
to talk about it again. If you have RBF like
(16:20):
I did, which is basically a frown, I purposefully how
long ago was it, six months ago, whatever, that I
decided I'm going to walk around with a try to
walk around with a pleasant look on my face all
the time, or sit all the time. It has changed
my life. It is one of the biggest things I've
ever done in my life, is to actively try to
(16:43):
have a pleasant look on my face. It's just to
be able to remember to do that pretty consistently. Yeah,
I'm yeah. I think about it all the time when
I walk into a room and it's become. It's become,
And it took a while. It's like it's like muscle
memory practicing that they're hit a golf ball or play
a guitar or whatever. It took a while of muscle memory.
But now anytime people come near me, I immediately go
(17:05):
into my pleasant face. It just automatically happens, and I'm
hoping over time it just sticks. So it's that way
all the time. But it has changed the way people
interact with me completely. It's amazing. I wish I had,
like I had a film crew follow me around as
a psychological experiment. So if you've got the you know,
murdery face or the RBFF you, if you can actively
(17:28):
change that, people will react better to you. They really do.
That's super interesting. You ought to write that up, I mean,
but the journal would run that as a guess the
editorial or something like that. It's so interesting. My whole life,
I didn't know that I was, you know, being that
off putting to people and getting the reactions I was
getting just because of the look on my face. Yeah, yeah,
(17:50):
I gotta stop walking in the rooms and staring people
down saying you want to go, you want to go
right now? I just do you want a piece of me? Yeah?
I want to step outside? Oh boy, how interesting. Yeah yeah,
that's that's great. That's I would think that would be
really really hard to do because I would forget to
do it constantly. But I suppose you walk in you
(18:11):
see people that all remind you. Yeah, ah man, there's
some doctors out there that might want to flee the country.
Will explain coming up Armstrong, you'll have to do women's work.
And you know this company assigns different jobs.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
That's no one can take away what you've earned. Crimely
you earned it. It's yours.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay. What the hell was that? Oh boy? Apparently netflick
is Netflix. They're more than one flick. Netflix is taking
some flak for its upcoming ultra woke film featuring a
transgender coal miner fighting the patriarchy. I have a feeling
the transgender coal miner idea was pitched and accepted a
(19:06):
couple of years ago when the trans thing was a
little hotter. Yeah, you kind of were on the front
foot yes, yes, and people were afraid to say it
strikes me as madness. All of this. The Argentinian film
Queen of Coal, which stars Marvel and Star Wars star
Pedro Pescal's real life transgender brothers. Is there any way
(19:31):
I can get him to get out of my life?
Stop showing up on everything I want to watch? Trans
women dreams of working the coal mines, but in a
town steeped in superstition and patriarchy, Carlita must fight to
earn her place underground. Well, it's all in the execution,
so I guess you'd have to watch it. I probably
won't to decide whether or not it's good or not.
(19:51):
I had forgotten about Netflix. I read an article the
other day the founder, because well, Netflix, you know, is
trying to buy HBO and Paramount, that whole merger thing
and all that sort of stuff coming together, and it'll
be even bigger of a behemoth than it already is.
But that those two dudes started with you could mail
a DVD. I mean, they were just trying to come
up with a better blockbuster, is what they did. And
(20:14):
then they and then they they changed on a fly.
It's very much like Zuckerberg. And Facebook. I mean, Facebook
wasn't intended to be what it ended up being. Want
of you know, making him a billionaire is a completely
different idea. But you're just nimble enough to adjust with
the times. It's pretty uch. Yeah, it is interesting, and
it reaffirms something I've long believed, which is sometimes just
(20:36):
try things because they might just be one or two
clicks off a really really good thing and you don't
know until you dive in. But for companies that successful
to have started is it's you know, not like Henry
Ford started out to make dog food and ended up
making cars. Cars was the original idea. But Facebook and
Netflix especially, Yeah, you put your little your DVD in
(20:59):
the power and it had a postage on it and
then you can mail it back. So the story we
want to feature right now. I think this is of
enormous significance culturally in the United States, and it's getting
cruelly little coverage. I've had to do a couple of
news searches to find it, and sure enough, I've found coverage.
(21:21):
But has to do with the Florida. Florida Attorney General
James Uttmeyer, who's got a couple of lawsuits that he's
announced The one that's getting much more attention is that
he's suing Starbucks, alleging the company uses racial discrimination and
illegal hiring quotas illegal race based quotas. The lawsuit alleges
(21:42):
that in twenty twenty, Starbucks set it's diverse representation goals
were to hire people of color in forty percent of
retail and distribution center jobs blah blah blah, and they're
actively discriminating against hiring people of a certain race that
would be non people of color. So anyway, that getting
a lot of attention. I had to do some digging
to find more than a bit of coverage on this story.
(22:05):
Florida is filing a lawsuit against three medical groups that
push children into transgender mutilation procedures, as I prefer to
call them, because that's what it is. They cause permanent
changes based on incredibly shaky r Is it fair to
say there's zero medical need? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely. The only
(22:29):
people who say that there are our radical gender activists
who claim that gender affirmation is a thing. But you
have to pretend there's genuine medical need to do the surgery,
don't you? Otherwise you're what the hell are you doing? Well? Right,
you're just like cropping the tails of dogs or something.
You're just doing something for well. It reminds me of
(22:51):
the horrible genital mutilations in Africa or what have you.
It's it's terrible, it's awful. As I've said a thousand times,
we will look back on this with horror and people
will be astounding, astounded that the various authorities, medical and
legal allowed these experiments to take place. Anyway, here's the
Florida Attorney General explaining himself. It's a little long ish,
(23:14):
but he does a really good job laying it out.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
This is Attorney General James off Meyer. Today, I'm announcing
that we are taking legal action against several powerful medical organizations,
the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Academy
of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society. We believe these organizations
failed to disclose the risks, limits, and evidence when promoting
(23:38):
so called gender affirming care for children. For years, these
groups insisted the recommendations were settled science, but behind closed doors,
they knew the evidence was weak, they knew the outcomes uncertain,
and the risks very real. Parents were not told the
full story. In fact, some parents were told that if
(23:59):
they didn't put their kids through permanent life altering sick
procedures like double missectomies and castration that their child would
commit suicide. Not only is that an ethical and dangerous medicine,
but it is against the law. Children were irrevocably harmed
because truth was replaced with political activism. When organizations make
(24:21):
medical claims, they have a duty to be honest. When
they intentionally mislead families, their members, and the medical profession,
we hold them accountable. Florida will always follow the evidence,
protect children, and defend parents' rights to make informed decisions.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
None of that is new news, obviously, but man, when
it's laid out like that, it's just unbelievable. You got
a mom and a dad who haven't been following this
story in freaking experts using my finger quotes tells you, well,
you've got no choice. You're twelve year old believes they're
a girl, and if we don't do the surgery, they'll
(25:01):
kill themselves. All studies only that, but they say, and
all studies show that a thirteen year old girl surrounded
by other thirteen year old girls saying the same thing,
they know with certainty that indeed they are in the
wrong body and need to be sexually don't question them,
don't talk about their autism, their depression, their alienation, don't
(25:21):
talk about any psychological problems. In fact, if you do that,
that's deprogramming or what do they call it, the the
gay conversion therapy. Yeah, you're practicing conversion therapy and that's
been discredited. It's an insidious conspiracy. But what did the
doctors use for their legal rationale that their recommendations from
(25:44):
the those various boards. Well, if I go to the
doctor and say I'd like you to remove my nose,
I think most ethical doctors are going to say, I'm
not going to do that, right right. The intersection of
these activist organizations like WPATH, that was the first one
he mentioned. They're infamous. They have foisted so many awful,
(26:08):
un replicable, thoroughly discredited, discredited studies that have influenced the
sex change industry around the world for a number of years.
Those were the studies that Europe took a serious look at,
and the CAST report in Sweden famously in the Netherlands
and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, there is no evidence based
(26:31):
science to support these claims, and they hit the brakes
hard and put the car of child sex changes hard
in reverse all across Europe because they realized that these
studies were utterly fictional. That's w path the American Academy
of Pediatrics, which sounds so wait a minute, their kid doctors, right, No,
they are a leftist activist group. They've been captured by
(26:55):
these activists, as has the Endocrine Society. If you're not
familiar with the term. It has to do with hormones.
Oh like selling hormones and prescribing hormones and that sort
of thing. Yeah, they're down with it. So this one's
going to be super interesting to follow. Something tells me
that the Attorney general there, mister Uckmeyer, is going to
(27:16):
file suits, not in some sort of crazy ass woke
Biden nominee court district. We'll see. And you know, the
Starbucks thing is huge, too impactful. So do we have
something to tell people about Michael before? Oh? Yeah, boy,
this is the time and year to tell you about
simply safe. The only time I've ever had my house
(27:38):
broken into, because it just sticks in my mind, was
Christmas time when you got a tree and presence and
all that sort of stuff. That's the time when scumbags
like to break in because they know there's stuff there.
And this is the time of year when I really,
really really like the fact that I got the simply
Safe sign out there, letting people know that I got
the simply Safe setup with the cameras and the sensors
(27:58):
and all that sort of stuff. And you can have
the lifeguard protection that catches people before they break in. Yeah,
you got your AI cameras to detect threats early. And
the key thing is they alert live agents, real people
who speak directly to intruders tell them to get the
hell out and that the cops are on their way.
That's real security. And this is amazing. No long term contracts,
(28:18):
no hidden fees, you can cancel anytime. Simply Safe earns
your business every day. Yeah, simply Safe, I don't know.
It makes me feel a lot more comfortable when I
drive away from my house. This month. Take fifty percent
off any new system. This is one of the best
prices you'll ever see for simply Safe. Don't miss it.
Hit simply safe dot com slash armstrong again. That's simplysafe
dot com slash armstrong in lock in your discount today.
(28:41):
There's no safe flight simply safe. So, of course this
is reported as a horror in the New York Times,
but it's about this person that had bad cancer and
was into their teenth surgery. A trans person a man
who now went by a woman, decided to secretly record
(29:02):
the surgery. And then what this person heard the surgeons
say was horrifying and shocking. She recorded the surgery, the
person saying, I just wanted to know, like in case
they gave any medical advice. You know, why I'm under anesthesia,
I heard or something like that. Okay, yeah, I wanted
to know what's going on. I'm reading from the New
(29:24):
York Times. She recounted. She turned on the audio recorder
on her phone before the anesthesia hit. It's kind of interesting.
I've I've been in those situations. I don't remember having
the opportunity to have my phone with me or record,
but anyway me neither. Yeah, the surgeons were removing part
of her lung. She She did not get around to
(29:45):
playing the recording until a few weeks later. Though the
audio was muffled, she could follow somewhat the surgical team
was saying. Before the procedure began, someone was going out
for coffee. Did any want somebody want something from Starbucks.
Then the conversation shifted. Still has man parts, said one
of the medical crew. It seemed to miss Kapasso. That's
(30:06):
the person in question that they were talking about her genitalia. Yeah,
I think I think you are correct and deducing that
good guess. On the recording, the healthcare workers express a
variety of opinions about transgender identity, more generally not that
it's not right, but said one person. I don't get
any of it. Another says, And in the middle of
the conversation, one person suggested updating the patient's medical file. Yeah,
(30:30):
and needs to say male. One of the medical teams said,
because that's a male is why, Yes, the patient said.
It appeared that the hospital staff had in fact changed
the electronic medical records all while The New York Times
says she was unconscious with the records now marked as
M for male. Some hospital staff members had referred to
(30:50):
her as sir during the weekly appointments after the surgery,
probably because it's a dude. Others made a big deal
about her being transition under. One person, perhaps taunting her,
says this person, I don't think so. I think they
were going along with your thing, perhaps trying to be supportive,
said things like yes, queen, also unwelcome, said miss Caposso
(31:14):
that's what young people say these days. That's supportive, but
some person going along with your wants also gets criticized. Yeah,
you can't win here. I take no joy in the
fact that this poor person A has cancer and B
is a paranoid, you know, activist, lunatic. But they clearly are.
(31:37):
It's sad they're to be pitied. That's an interesting one.
And then we'll take a break. But so, Miss Capasso
said that she asked the hospital administration to switch the
male designation back to female, and she received a surprising answer,
It couldn't be done anytime soon. What is the hospital
supposed to do because, certainly from a medical standpoint and
the way the you know, human body might react to
(31:58):
things as a male verse is a female, you gotta
leave it male. Yeah, you're a dude, dude. Sorry, Wow,
that's an interesting one. I'm surprised that hasn't been worked
out legally yet. Present as a man, woman, no ostrich, rodeo, clown,
whatever you want, but medically speaking, you're a male and
a discussion, so are medical professionals supposed to keep those
conversations to themselves while you're asleep. That's an interesting question itself.
(32:22):
So they're having it. I don't know about the whole
transgender thing. I don't get any of it while you're asleep.
Oh that's just awful. How dare they chat? App? Okay,
we got mail bag on the way and other news
to get to stay here. How y'all doing. I want
(32:43):
to talk about working at the Christmas tree lot last night.
I hadn't done any retail work in a long time.
Working with the public, which was ninety nine percent fantastic,
but one interaction that was hilarious and a good lesson
for my son. So we'll stay tuned. Fabulous. Here's your
freedom loving quote of the day. This is from Will Durant.
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it
(33:05):
has destroyed itself within. I think that is generally true,
echoing the thoughts of Alexander Souls and Nisen, who certainly
or well you know, had a kinship with To destroy
a people, you must first sever their roots. Yeah, it
covers public schools today, and I was quoting Christopher Hitchins.
A couple of weeks ago. I'd never heard him say
(33:27):
this before. He's giving a lecture. He said, usually when
civilizations fall, there are people there holding the door open
for the barbarians when they get there. Right. Yeah, indeed, mailbag,
drop a note mailbag at Armstrong he getdy dot com.
Mike formerly of Arkansas fly there's my Irish, my Irish
(33:50):
roots coming through. He's fireman from the land of Arkansas. Anyway,
he was the guy who uh answered a tweet coming
it on your tweet with like nastiness and viciousness, and
he says it was intended to be like a parody
(34:12):
of online anger. Yeah, well you're not good at it. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm gonna start blocking more people. I've decided I don't
need this in my life. You're gonna criticize family pictures,
screw you. I'm just gonna block you. I don't need yet. Yeah,
read the room. That's just not a good avenue of humor.
Moving along in Cheerior news, here's Carla a reminder for Jack.
(34:35):
Dear Jack, remember if it takes less than five minutes
to it now, cancel your Bloomberg subscription. It's been almost
two months. Thank you for your attention. To this matter.
Oh my god, I need that personal assist in my life. Yes, silent,
you're just thinking the introductor introductory eight dollars a month
for six months was a great deal, but it goes
to one hundred and fifty dollars a month on January seventh.
(34:57):
Remember it? And I always think I'll remember, and then
I don't. Carla, are you available for hire? I need you,
let's see. Greetings from a former fan of your show.
You two dipsses like to talk about what other people
think without actually knowing what they say. Before you get
on your show and call out people like Candace Owen's,
Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fouentes, among others, you should take
the time to listen to what they are actually saying.
(35:18):
Either that or stick to what you actually know. Wow,
that is exactly what they're saying, John, They're saying a
great deal of reasonable stuff and then a pretty good
chunk of abhorred stuff. But it's interesting that that defense
always comes up. Why do you call Nick findsay's a Nazi?
And then people who do can Well, here's eight tweets
where he calls himself a Nazi. What am I supposed
(35:39):
to do with that information. Moving along, I made reference
to Kate Moss's dopey sister yesterday on the show. I
believe she had overdosed on one of the GLP one
drugs or something like that. That was a Katie Green story.
Yeah right, yeah, Garrick and David California writes, I actually
knew Kate Moss's sister. She was really dope. So there
(36:01):
you go. Kate Moss who said nothing tastes better than thin,
that was her famous quote. I guess then thin feels
right something like that. Yeah, it's actually pretty decent. I mean, like,
if I'm thinking about eating cake or something, thin feels
better than cake tastes because it does, or not obese
when I'm thinking about should I eat this or not
(36:23):
well or yeah, yeah this doesn't taste as good as
not fitting into my pants feels bad. You can reverse
it if you want. Yeah, Drew the Millennial really interesting
note regarding your Sluttiest Mammals segment. If you missed it,
get this podcast Armstrong you getting on demand yesterday. We're
going to follow up on that today. By the way,
the sluttiest mammal according science is sheep. Interesting that a
(36:44):
common method of communist regimes is to promote promiscuity in
order to prevent the development of personal relationships and commitments
and family, to make people sheep for the state. Mister
Huxley had something to say about that. He did, indeed
in Brave New World, also completely related, Ulysses by James
Joyce sucks. I hate that stupid book, you know. I'll
(37:06):
tell you We've got to continue his critique next hour. Yeah,
I would like to get into that because I'm loving it.
But man, this chapter I'm in now is tough, really tough.
And little bonus mail bag next hour. Then stay tuned
if you're there. A number of other stories to get
to the Wall Street Journal on why the Republicans are
not going to be able to pass anything around the
whole Obamacare subsidies. Maybe we'll get to that. Armstrong and
(37:28):
Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and
Jacket and now he arm drawn yet live from studio scene,
(00:26):
say a deadly lit room, deepen in the bowels of
the Armstrong and getting communications compound. Hey y'all, today little Friday,
the week flew by. We're under the tutelage of our
general manager, Florida Attorney General, James Offmeier. Why would the
Florida Attorney General be our general manager? An apt question. Indeed,
(00:48):
he has filed lawsuits against a bunch of hospitals and
entities for mutilating children in experimental sex change procedures. This
is an enormously impactful story, and it's getting practically zero coverage.
Wow wow, And what could be the repercussions of that? Well, exactly.
(01:11):
And I've looked at the lawsuit. I've listened to his
description of it. This is no you know, meaningless political
internet gesture. This is a serious man making a serious effort.
We'll talk more about that, obviously. Yeah, I have questions
about that. I didn't want to ask about that. And
then and that just reminds me this story I was
just reading in the New York Times. A transgender cancer
(01:33):
patient secretly recorded her surgery. Here's what she heard. Have
you seen this story?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, I haven't. So this poor person is dying of
cancer and undergoing like yet another surgery on cancer tumors
and stuff like that, but for whatever reason, decides to record,
without the knowledge of the doctors, their conversations while they're
under uh, which would be an interesting thing for any
(02:03):
of us to do. Yes, yeah, if only. Oh, it's funny.
These guys are really into sports or whatever. Yeah. I
don't know, man. It was creeping me out reading about it,
just thinking about if I was one of the doctors.
I mean, is so is it? Do I need to
talk as if the person is awake even though they're asleep,
(02:28):
because how online is the human body on the table
the main topic of conversation. I mean, the procedure obviously
is going to be discussed, But what are their comments, like, well,
what is this tattoo? Wow, that's weird? You know what
is there? Stuff like? Probably yeah, probably is. Yeah. It's
how I'm fronted with a couple of surgeons and they
did they jam music and then laugh and talk about
(02:50):
life and the rest of it, the same things everybody
does when they're at work. But of course in this case,
somebody said, is this a he or a she? Stuff
like that. Yeah, that's that's gonna happen if you are
trying to dabble with sex changey stuff. And how outraged
should we all be that that conversation has had while
this person was under anesthesia. How does not in the
(03:14):
least suit you later, I thought it was a concept
of it was interesting. Yeah, I guess I'm scrolling through
various news outlets. I can't find any coverage of this
of the Attorney general going after the doctors, so the
Florida thing. Yeah, well, do you have a lot of questions, Matt?
I suppose I could do it news search, but I'll
(03:36):
wait till we get to the full story. Have you
seen the video of us going on that oil tanker,
the Venezuelan oil tanker. Yes, getting a lot of attention.
I took a relatively high amount of coverage on that,
and then just heard the actual explanation from some military
guy on News Nation a little bit ago. I hadn't
(03:57):
heard this person's anybody else say this. It had practically
nothing to do with our drug thing that we're doing
in Venezuela, or a whole bunch of other things. It's
it's like a separate action that there are I forget
if the guys said a hundred or hundreds, but either way,
(04:17):
it's a lot of these falsely flagged oil tankers that
are floating all around the world shipping oil all the time,
and for some reason, the world just puts up with it. Yeah,
the shadow fleet is that what they call it. I
don't think that's what it was called. I think it
was a different world word, but similar to that the
dark fleets or the dark something, the ghost fleet. Who
(04:40):
but anyway, I guess it goes on all the time.
There are many, many of these giant oil tankers that
move around that everybody knows they're you know, it's a
rainy and oil or Russian oil or China getting oil
to North Korea or whatever the hell it is, and
the world just puts up with it because it would
be messy to deal with or something. But anyway, yesterday
Trump administration, we boarded one of those ships. So he
(05:03):
was positing that this is just a coincidence that a
ship from Venezuela carrying oil to Cuba was the one
we busted. I don't know if he was specific He
didn't specifically use the word coincidence, but said it's not
it's not directly related to the He said, it's not
directly related to the whole drug thing. It certainly could
be related to the regime change thing. Oh yeah, which
(05:26):
is related to the drug thing. They're inseparable. They're a
narco cartel running a country. We shouldn't put up with that.
I mean, if oil sanctions are like the number one
tool of you know, the good guys, you can't just
let hundreds of these ships float around the world move
oil around. Or we're from Belgium. Yeah, that's it. They
(05:47):
had a Belgian flag and then nothing to do with Belgium.
Who want to say a waffle, we're shipping waffles around
the world. Were from We're from Belgium. Don't mind my
Middle Eastern accent. We have a clip about this. If
you want me to play it real quick, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It appears as out of the Country was not flying
a proper flag, as the Maritime Administration says that they
observed the proliferation and unacceptable trend of the unauthorized use
of our flag by vessels that are not registered to
our country.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
This is something that is typical using our flag without
authors and aid and we're not putting up with that.
Just I just I just I didn't know that that
was going on as regularly as it was, and everybody
knew it, and everybody said, well, what are you gonna do? Yeah, yeah,
well you got an evil, violent narco state that exports
crime and all sorts of stuff and one of their
you know, other avenues, revenues oil. So yeah, I don't
(06:39):
I don't think this is a coincidence or something. So
this particular military, this particular military, unless that it has
more to do with trying to keep the oil sanctions
that are hurting Russia on than what we're doing in Venezuela. Hmmm,
which which is so an interesting thing in the midst
of the peace talks. If it's to send the message
(06:59):
to put that hey, this hole you getting around the
sanctions the eyt and gott to go on forever, that
would be an interesting twist. I could see that. And
as long as we've got all the personnel in the Caribbean,
we decided to illustrate that point there. That's the only
way I could see that being true of it? Eh,
wait and see interesting. Let's start the show officially on
a Thursday. So Christmas is two weeks from today? Do
(07:21):
I have my math right today? Crack? I am starting
to feel the pressure as I have purchased zero prisons.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,
December eleventh, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and
getting we approve of this program. Let's begin then officially
according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go, leaping
into action at Mark.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
If I just said, like, there's only one thing you
can ever have for the rest of time, which admittedly
would be a bit monotonous, but it would probably be
a cheezburger, because cheeseburgers are amazing. It's a genius invention
we love.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Of must ladies and gentlemen. And I agree with him
one hundred percent. My top three foods have always been steak, gravy, churger.
But if I could only eat one for the rest
of my life, I'd probably go cheeseburger. Truth bombes elon
musk freaking cheeseburgers. Man, Yeah, yeah, speaking of which, Yeah,
funny coincidence. A word from our good friends at Omaha
(08:17):
Steaks and delivering the world's best steak experience and juicy burgers,
cosey and convenient comfort meals and so much more. Enduring
the Sizzle All the Ways sale, you can get fifty

We love those a lot. And of course the steaks,
that's what their uh you know, their bread and butter is.
(08:38):

it's possible I can make it through the entire four
hour show without door dashing and cheeseburger. At this point,
(09:21):
I think I will. Now it's just a matter of
from where. The time of day is a bit of
an issue, isn't it. McDonald's the serving cheeseburgers. Now that's
not really the cheeseburger I want. Well, you know what it's.
It's like, you know, it's not the right blood type,
but it won't kill you. It's an emergency. You need blood.
(09:44):
Now you need a cheeseburger. Now, cheeseburger emergency exactly. We
got Katie's headlines on the way and lots of other
stuff to get to stay here strong. The The House
is voting on some sort of legislation to cover the
Obamacare people whose subsidies are going to go up because
(10:07):
COVID ended and it's expected to fail. I don't know
why that's the story, but maybe more on that later.
I think the main story is the GOP has no alternative,
they have no coherent plan, they have no message to
sell to the American people, or just in disarray. It's unbelievable.
A lot to get to today, including the blockbuster lawsuit
(10:29):
out of Florida that's getting virtually no coverage suing the
gender bending doctor Mengela like transition doctors. We'll cover it
for you because nobody else is, apparently, but first let's
figure out who suporting what. It's the lead story with
Katie Green. Katie, I was gred, you know. I was
going through our joke submissions from various people texting us.
(10:50):
I'm sure I'd heard this before, but for whateverver reason
in my life, maybe it's because I'm sick. What do
you call it? Cow with no legs? Ground beef made,
that's elastic there, It is a classic. For some reason,
I was picturing the cow out in the meadow, just there,
(11:12):
just round, he there, not going anywhere? Really, right?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
What do you call a cow jumping over a barbed
wire fence? An utter catastrophe?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It's more fine b fine humor. I like that. Oh right.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
The story the tanker, the headlines ABC US sees his
tanker off the coast of Venezuela from the New York Times.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oil tanker that.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
The US seized has faked its location before and from
Fox Venezuela accuses US of piracy after seizing massive oil tanker.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, it's interesting. So we got the whole Venezuela thing going,
We got all the Maybe that's it what you said.
Maybe it's just a fact that, Yeah, these ships are
floating around the ocean all the time. We got a
quarter of the world's biggest navy sitting right there. Might
as well put up with it in this instance, right
or in this case, the coast Guard, which many folks forget,
(12:10):
is one of our great armed services. But you ain't
gonna fight the coast Guard with the whole navy around you, right.
Oh yeah, Yeah, that was a factor. From the Wall Street.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Journal bed shared, Jerome Powell says US may be drastically
overstating jobs numbers.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah. I saw that. I was going to bring that up.
And is that because of the whole government shut down,
we don't actually know what the job's numbers are. That
didn't really factor into it. It's just there's a pattern
of revising job numbers downward. Well, that's what Trump was
complaining of for a long time that our method for
(12:53):
counting this is antiquated and horrible. So why we lack attention?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah, for the Washington Post, Republicans struggle to unite on
healthcare as Obama's subsidies expire.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, what's troubling about this is the reason the Republican
It's not just like a lack of organization or whatever.
There's a heck of a lot of Republicans, including the
President of the United States, who doesn't want, you know,
costs to go up for people because it's you know,
it's a losing argument, even though I mean, should you
(13:27):
should win this arguments A lett percent sure of This
is what they were before we made an exception for COVID,
the great cantaster for COVID. Now they're just going back
to the Biden era Democrat legislation numbers. What's wrong with that?
But we have some audio of Ron Johnson, the thirdly
reasonable senator from Wisconsin, talking about this, and the messaging
(13:48):
is perfect, and it's shocking because I haven't heard anybody
say what he said. It's just so the evil Party
and the Stupid Party.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
From NBC Survey said as twenty eight percent of US
teens say they use AI chatbots daily.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I do. Ben's what you're using it for? Are using
it for companionship, for sex? Or to answer to cheat
at school? A recipe or recipe? Yeah, exactly, or something benign.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
From the Telegraph, Australian teenagers already skirt the world's first
social media band.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Uh. Yeah, I had no doubt that would happen, at
least to some extent. But it might just be a
good run through for Okay, this is how kids get
around bands, This is the weak points, this is what
we need to know going forward. So I still say
it's worth trying. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I just think they need to up the technology on
how they're determining the age because apparently all they had
to do was frown at the cameras and they asked
the face ID.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
So really sophisticated rules. Yeah wow, frowning makes you look
significantly older, right, I'll be damned. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
From the New York Post, Hungover Russians delayed to Ukraine's
Pearls Harbor style.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Attack on Moscow. Yeah, I read that whole story. That's interesting. Well,
I talk about that later to fill in all the
gaps it takes a little while.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
From study Fines, survey says average child's allowance has reached
fifty two dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's gonna be it's got to be close to right.
Even if I think about my own allowance as a
kid and adjust it for inflation, it's probably about right. Yeah,
that's barely thirteen bucks a week. That doesn't seem that crazy.
And finally from the Babylon Bee.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Trump announces aid package to farmers to help them deal
with how amazing the economy is.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah. So it's interesting that young people got past the
camera as an adult by frowning, because a lot of
people develop a perma frown as they get older. And
I've talked about this on the air, but I wanted
to talk about it again. If you have RBF like
(16:20):
I did, which is basically a frown, I purposefully how
long ago was it, six months ago, whatever, that I
decided I'm going to walk around with a try to
walk around with a pleasant look on my face all
the time, or sit all the time. It has changed
my life. It is one of the biggest things I've
ever done in my life, is to actively try to
(16:43):
have a pleasant look on my face. It's just to
be able to remember to do that pretty consistently. Yeah,
I'm yeah. I think about it all the time when
I walk into a room and it's become. It's become,
And it took a while. It's like it's like muscle
memory practicing that they're hit a golf ball or play
a guitar or whatever. It took a while of muscle memory.
But now anytime people come near me, I immediately go
(17:05):
into my pleasant face. It just automatically happens, and I'm
hoping over time it just sticks. So it's that way
all the time. But it has changed the way people
interact with me completely. It's amazing. I wish I had,
like I had a film crew follow me around as
a psychological experiment. So if you've got the you know,
murdery face or the RBFF you, if you can actively
(17:28):
change that, people will react better to you. They really do.
That's super interesting. You ought to write that up, I mean,
but the journal would run that as a guess the
editorial or something like that. It's so interesting. My whole life,
I didn't know that I was, you know, being that
off putting to people and getting the reactions I was
getting just because of the look on my face. Yeah, yeah,
(17:50):
I gotta stop walking in the rooms and staring people
down saying you want to go, you want to go
right now? I just do you want a piece of me? Yeah?
I want to step outside? Oh boy, how interesting. Yeah yeah,
that's that's great. That's I would think that would be
really really hard to do because I would forget to
do it constantly. But I suppose you walk in you
(18:11):
see people that all remind you. Yeah, ah man, there's
some doctors out there that might want to flee the country.
Will explain coming up Armstrong, you'll have to do women's work.
And you know this company assigns different jobs.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
That's no one can take away what you've earned. Crimely
you earned it. It's yours.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay. What the hell was that? Oh boy? Apparently netflick
is Netflix. They're more than one flick. Netflix is taking
some flak for its upcoming ultra woke film featuring a
transgender coal miner fighting the patriarchy. I have a feeling
the transgender coal miner idea was pitched and accepted a
(19:06):
couple of years ago when the trans thing was a
little hotter. Yeah, you kind of were on the front
foot yes, yes, and people were afraid to say it
strikes me as madness. All of this. The Argentinian film
Queen of Coal, which stars Marvel and Star Wars star
Pedro Pescal's real life transgender brothers. Is there any way
(19:31):
I can get him to get out of my life?
Stop showing up on everything I want to watch? Trans
women dreams of working the coal mines, but in a
town steeped in superstition and patriarchy, Carlita must fight to
earn her place underground. Well, it's all in the execution,
so I guess you'd have to watch it. I probably
won't to decide whether or not it's good or not.
(19:51):
I had forgotten about Netflix. I read an article the
other day the founder, because well, Netflix, you know, is
trying to buy HBO and Paramount, that whole merger thing
and all that sort of stuff coming together, and it'll
be even bigger of a behemoth than it already is.
But that those two dudes started with you could mail
a DVD. I mean, they were just trying to come
up with a better blockbuster, is what they did. And
(20:14):
then they and then they they changed on a fly.
It's very much like Zuckerberg. And Facebook. I mean, Facebook
wasn't intended to be what it ended up being. Want
of you know, making him a billionaire is a completely
different idea. But you're just nimble enough to adjust with
the times. It's pretty uch. Yeah, it is interesting, and
it reaffirms something I've long believed, which is sometimes just
(20:36):
try things because they might just be one or two
clicks off a really really good thing and you don't
know until you dive in. But for companies that successful
to have started is it's you know, not like Henry
Ford started out to make dog food and ended up
making cars. Cars was the original idea. But Facebook and
Netflix especially, Yeah, you put your little your DVD in
(20:59):
the power and it had a postage on it and
then you can mail it back. So the story we
want to feature right now. I think this is of
enormous significance culturally in the United States, and it's getting
cruelly little coverage. I've had to do a couple of
news searches to find it, and sure enough, I've found coverage.
(21:21):
But has to do with the Florida. Florida Attorney General
James Uttmeyer, who's got a couple of lawsuits that he's
announced The one that's getting much more attention is that
he's suing Starbucks, alleging the company uses racial discrimination and
illegal hiring quotas illegal race based quotas. The lawsuit alleges
(21:42):
that in twenty twenty, Starbucks set it's diverse representation goals
were to hire people of color in forty percent of
retail and distribution center jobs blah blah blah, and they're
actively discriminating against hiring people of a certain race that
would be non people of color. So anyway, that getting
a lot of attention. I had to do some digging
to find more than a bit of coverage on this story.
(22:05):
Florida is filing a lawsuit against three medical groups that
push children into transgender mutilation procedures, as I prefer to
call them, because that's what it is. They cause permanent
changes based on incredibly shaky r Is it fair to
say there's zero medical need? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely. The only
(22:29):
people who say that there are our radical gender activists
who claim that gender affirmation is a thing. But you
have to pretend there's genuine medical need to do the surgery,
don't you? Otherwise you're what the hell are you doing? Well? Right,
you're just like cropping the tails of dogs or something.
You're just doing something for well. It reminds me of
(22:51):
the horrible genital mutilations in Africa or what have you.
It's it's terrible, it's awful. As I've said a thousand times,
we will look back on this with horror and people
will be astounding, astounded that the various authorities, medical and
legal allowed these experiments to take place. Anyway, here's the
Florida Attorney General explaining himself. It's a little long ish,
(23:14):
but he does a really good job laying it out.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
This is Attorney General James off Meyer. Today, I'm announcing
that we are taking legal action against several powerful medical organizations,
the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Academy
of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society. We believe these organizations
failed to disclose the risks, limits, and evidence when promoting
(23:38):
so called gender affirming care for children. For years, these
groups insisted the recommendations were settled science, but behind closed doors,
they knew the evidence was weak, they knew the outcomes uncertain,
and the risks very real. Parents were not told the
full story. In fact, some parents were told that if
(23:59):
they didn't put their kids through permanent life altering sick
procedures like double missectomies and castration that their child would
commit suicide. Not only is that an ethical and dangerous medicine,
but it is against the law. Children were irrevocably harmed
because truth was replaced with political activism. When organizations make
(24:21):
medical claims, they have a duty to be honest. When
they intentionally mislead families, their members, and the medical profession,
we hold them accountable. Florida will always follow the evidence,
protect children, and defend parents' rights to make informed decisions.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
None of that is new news, obviously, but man, when
it's laid out like that, it's just unbelievable. You got
a mom and a dad who haven't been following this
story in freaking experts using my finger quotes tells you, well,
you've got no choice. You're twelve year old believes they're
a girl, and if we don't do the surgery, they'll
(25:01):
kill themselves. All studies only that, but they say, and
all studies show that a thirteen year old girl surrounded
by other thirteen year old girls saying the same thing,
they know with certainty that indeed they are in the
wrong body and need to be sexually don't question them,
don't talk about their autism, their depression, their alienation, don't
(25:21):
talk about any psychological problems. In fact, if you do that,
that's deprogramming or what do they call it, the the
gay conversion therapy. Yeah, you're practicing conversion therapy and that's
been discredited. It's an insidious conspiracy. But what did the
doctors use for their legal rationale that their recommendations from
(25:44):
the those various boards. Well, if I go to the
doctor and say I'd like you to remove my nose,
I think most ethical doctors are going to say, I'm
not going to do that, right right. The intersection of
these activist organizations like WPATH, that was the first one
he mentioned. They're infamous. They have foisted so many awful,
(26:08):
un replicable, thoroughly discredited, discredited studies that have influenced the
sex change industry around the world for a number of years.
Those were the studies that Europe took a serious look at,
and the CAST report in Sweden famously in the Netherlands
and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, there is no evidence based
(26:31):
science to support these claims, and they hit the brakes
hard and put the car of child sex changes hard
in reverse all across Europe because they realized that these
studies were utterly fictional. That's w path the American Academy
of Pediatrics, which sounds so wait a minute, their kid doctors, right, No,
they are a leftist activist group. They've been captured by
(26:55):
these activists, as has the Endocrine Society. If you're not
familiar with the term. It has to do with hormones.
Oh like selling hormones and prescribing hormones and that sort
of thing. Yeah, they're down with it. So this one's
going to be super interesting to follow. Something tells me
that the Attorney general there, mister Uckmeyer, is going to
(27:16):
file suits, not in some sort of crazy ass woke
Biden nominee court district. We'll see. And you know, the
Starbucks thing is huge, too impactful. So do we have
something to tell people about Michael before? Oh? Yeah, boy,
this is the time and year to tell you about
simply safe. The only time I've ever had my house
(27:38):
broken into, because it just sticks in my mind, was
Christmas time when you got a tree and presence and
all that sort of stuff. That's the time when scumbags
like to break in because they know there's stuff there.
And this is the time of year when I really,
really really like the fact that I got the simply
Safe sign out there, letting people know that I got
the simply Safe setup with the cameras and the sensors
(27:58):
and all that sort of stuff. And you can have
the lifeguard protection that catches people before they break in. Yeah,
you got your AI cameras to detect threats early. And
the key thing is they alert live agents, real people
who speak directly to intruders tell them to get the
hell out and that the cops are on their way.
That's real security. And this is amazing. No long term contracts,
(28:18):
no hidden fees, you can cancel anytime. Simply Safe earns
your business every day. Yeah, simply Safe, I don't know.
It makes me feel a lot more comfortable when I
drive away from my house. This month. Take fifty percent
off any new system. This is one of the best
prices you'll ever see for simply Safe. Don't miss it.

(28:41):
There's no safe flight simply safe. So, of course this
is reported as a horror in the New York Times,
but it's about this person that had bad cancer and
was into their teenth surgery. A trans person a man
who now went by a woman, decided to secretly record
(29:02):
the surgery. And then what this person heard the surgeons
say was horrifying and shocking. She recorded the surgery, the
person saying, I just wanted to know, like in case
they gave any medical advice. You know, why I'm under anesthesia,
I heard or something like that. Okay, yeah, I wanted
to know what's going on. I'm reading from the New
(29:24):
York Times. She recounted. She turned on the audio recorder
on her phone before the anesthesia hit. It's kind of interesting.
I've I've been in those situations. I don't remember having
the opportunity to have my phone with me or record,
but anyway me neither. Yeah, the surgeons were removing part
of her lung. She She did not get around to
(29:45):
playing the recording until a few weeks later. Though the
audio was muffled, she could follow somewhat the surgical team
was saying. Before the procedure began, someone was going out
for coffee. Did any want somebody want something from Starbucks.
Then the conversation shifted. Still has man parts, said one
of the medical crew. It seemed to miss Kapasso. That's
(30:06):
the person in question that they were talking about her genitalia. Yeah,
I think I think you are correct and deducing that
good guess. On the recording, the healthcare workers express a
variety of opinions about transgender identity, more generally not that
it's not right, but said one person. I don't get
any of it. Another says, And in the middle of
the conversation, one person suggested updating the patient's medical file. Yeah,
(30:30):
and needs to say male. One of the medical teams said,
because that's a male is why, Yes, the patient said.
It appeared that the hospital staff had in fact changed
the electronic medical records all while The New York Times
says she was unconscious with the records now marked as
M for male. Some hospital staff members had referred to
(30:50):
her as sir during the weekly appointments after the surgery,
probably because it's a dude. Others made a big deal
about her being transition under. One person, perhaps taunting her,
says this person, I don't think so. I think they
were going along with your thing, perhaps trying to be supportive,
said things like yes, queen, also unwelcome, said miss Caposso
(31:14):
that's what young people say these days. That's supportive, but
some person going along with your wants also gets criticized. Yeah,
you can't win here. I take no joy in the
fact that this poor person A has cancer and B
is a paranoid, you know, activist, lunatic. But they clearly are.
(31:37):
It's sad they're to be pitied. That's an interesting one.
And then we'll take a break. But so, Miss Capasso
said that she asked the hospital administration to switch the
male designation back to female, and she received a surprising answer,
It couldn't be done anytime soon. What is the hospital
supposed to do because, certainly from a medical standpoint and
the way the you know, human body might react to
(31:58):
things as a male verse is a female, you gotta
leave it male. Yeah, you're a dude, dude. Sorry, Wow,
that's an interesting one. I'm surprised that hasn't been worked
out legally yet. Present as a man, woman, no ostrich, rodeo, clown,
whatever you want, but medically speaking, you're a male and
a discussion, so are medical professionals supposed to keep those
conversations to themselves while you're asleep. That's an interesting question itself.
(32:22):
So they're having it. I don't know about the whole
transgender thing. I don't get any of it while you're asleep.
Oh that's just awful. How dare they chat? App? Okay,
we got mail bag on the way and other news
to get to stay here. How y'all doing. I want
(32:43):
to talk about working at the Christmas tree lot last night.
I hadn't done any retail work in a long time.
Working with the public, which was ninety nine percent fantastic,
but one interaction that was hilarious and a good lesson
for my son. So we'll stay tuned. Fabulous. Here's your
freedom loving quote of the day. This is from Will Durant.
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it
(33:05):
has destroyed itself within. I think that is generally true,
echoing the thoughts of Alexander Souls and Nisen, who certainly
or well you know, had a kinship with To destroy
a people, you must first sever their roots. Yeah, it
covers public schools today, and I was quoting Christopher Hitchins.
A couple of weeks ago. I'd never heard him say
(33:27):
this before. He's giving a lecture. He said, usually when
civilizations fall, there are people there holding the door open
for the barbarians when they get there. Right. Yeah, indeed, mailbag,
drop a note mailbag at Armstrong he getdy dot com.
Mike formerly of Arkansas fly there's my Irish, my Irish
(33:50):
roots coming through. He's fireman from the land of Arkansas. Anyway,
he was the guy who uh answered a tweet coming
it on your tweet with like nastiness and viciousness, and
he says it was intended to be like a parody
(34:12):
of online anger. Yeah, well you're not good at it. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm gonna start blocking more people. I've decided I don't
need this in my life. You're gonna criticize family pictures,
screw you. I'm just gonna block you. I don't need yet. Yeah,
read the room. That's just not a good avenue of humor.
Moving along in Cheerior news, here's Carla a reminder for Jack.
(34:35):
Dear Jack, remember if it takes less than five minutes
to it now, cancel your Bloomberg subscription. It's been almost
two months. Thank you for your attention. To this matter.
Oh my god, I need that personal assist in my life. Yes, silent,
you're just thinking the introductor introductory eight dollars a month
for six months was a great deal, but it goes
to one hundred and fifty dollars a month on January seventh.
(34:57):
Remember it? And I always think I'll remember, and then
I don't. Carla, are you available for hire? I need you,
let's see. Greetings from a former fan of your show.
You two dipsses like to talk about what other people
think without actually knowing what they say. Before you get
on your show and call out people like Candace Owen's,
Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fouentes, among others, you should take
the time to listen to what they are actually saying.
(35:18):
Either that or stick to what you actually know. Wow,
that is exactly what they're saying, John, They're saying a
great deal of reasonable stuff and then a pretty good
chunk of abhorred stuff. But it's interesting that that defense
always comes up. Why do you call Nick findsay's a Nazi?
And then people who do can Well, here's eight tweets
where he calls himself a Nazi. What am I supposed
(35:39):
to do with that information. Moving along, I made reference
to Kate Moss's dopey sister yesterday on the show. I
believe she had overdosed on one of the GLP one
drugs or something like that. That was a Katie Green story.
Yeah right, yeah, Garrick and David California writes, I actually
knew Kate Moss's sister. She was really dope. So there
(36:01):
you go. Kate Moss who said nothing tastes better than thin,
that was her famous quote. I guess then thin feels
right something like that. Yeah, it's actually pretty decent. I mean, like,
if I'm thinking about eating cake or something, thin feels
better than cake tastes because it does, or not obese
when I'm thinking about should I eat this or not
(36:23):
well or yeah, yeah this doesn't taste as good as
not fitting into my pants feels bad. You can reverse
it if you want. Yeah, Drew the Millennial really interesting
note regarding your Sluttiest Mammals segment. If you missed it,
get this podcast Armstrong you getting on demand yesterday. We're
going to follow up on that today. By the way,
the sluttiest mammal according science is sheep. Interesting that a
(36:44):
common method of communist regimes is to promote promiscuity in
order to prevent the development of personal relationships and commitments
and family, to make people sheep for the state. Mister
Huxley had something to say about that. He did, indeed
in Brave New World, also completely related, Ulysses by James
Joyce sucks. I hate that stupid book, you know. I'll
(37:06):
tell you We've got to continue his critique next hour. Yeah,
I would like to get into that because I'm loving it.
But man, this chapter I'm in now is tough, really tough.
And little bonus mail bag next hour. Then stay tuned
if you're there. A number of other stories to get
to the Wall Street Journal on why the Republicans are
not going to be able to pass anything around the
whole Obamacare subsidies. Maybe we'll get to that. Armstrong and

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
