Speaker 1 (00:00):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty Armstrong and
Gettik and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
The food company Heines is partnering with Smoothie King to
offer the first ever Heinz Tomato ketchup smoothie and just
to guess here, also the last ever no black We're
first to the market.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, no kidding, ketchup smoothies. No.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Why is there so much talk about the Moon this
week in various podcasts I'm listening to. I guess because
NASA announced likely we're going to need to put nuclear
reactors on the Moon to have available power for all
the things we want to do for them, launching to Mars,
among other things. But the conversation has begun about America
(01:07):
and colonialism and blah blah blah that I want to
get into later this hour. Oh boy, bas colonialism.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
H yeah, yeah, And we need to win and we
will and it's going to be exactly the idea. Well,
I'll save it for when we talk about it. I'm
pro dude, I misunderstand You're not You're against this. Well,
I can't wait to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
A couple of things want to get to, including the
you know, Israel Hamas situation. Eventually maybe next hour, a
collection of what Gavin Newsom is up to in California
as he continues to lust like is hot to trot seventeen.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Year old for the Oval office.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
But first this, and it's appropriate, I think in the
wake of our discussion about Cincinnati and the police chief,
who is a woman who is promoting the vast majority
of women and minorities over men or white men, certainly
attempting to.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Build a DEI police force.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
And the problem with that, and the insidious, sad part
of it is that and I didn't come up with
this idea. I learned it from great black men and
women thinkers. They hate it because everything they achieve is
now suspect. Oh you didn't get that fellowship. You're not
at the Hoover Institution because you're brilliant. It's because they
(02:29):
needed a black guy or whatever. It's terrible, it really is.
And I thought this was so interesting. Big new poll
is out and black and Hispanic Americans are more likely
than white Americans to believe that left wing DEI programs
quote end up increasing discrimination against people like them. According
(02:53):
to the AP, they did a joint poll with the
Nork Center for Public Affairs Research.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That doesn't surprise what's going on with that chunk of
white people. It's that George Bush came up with the term,
I believe the soft bigotry of law expectations and you
think you're doing something noble or nice, trying to help
the down fraud and who can't get by on their
own that.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I learned in college really need help because of systemic racism.
So we've got to combat the racism with more racism.
Robin DiAngelo taught me. I actually met her at a
seminar and then we had Ebermex Kendy in. He spoke
for an hour for three hundred thousand dollars, and they
taught us about systemic racism. And now I understand why
DEI is so important. Meanwhile, significant percentages of black and
(03:39):
brown people are.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Like stop it.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
But the self congratulatory college educated white people, disproportionately women,
are utterly convinced that this is a righteous and good
thing to do. So it's about forty percent of Black
adults and one third of Hispanic adults say DEI increases
discrimination against black people compared with one quarter of white adults.
(04:03):
So forty percent of black people and a little less
than a quarter of white people believe that this.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Is you know, I often say, name one thing that's
getting better, because I feel like everything is getting worse,
and I'm not far off. But I do think we're
going the right direction on all of this stuff, the
race stuff. It's it's it's a slow slog, but it
seems to be going the right direction.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yes, yeah, the bloom is definitely off the rows of
the woke agenda well, or it still endoors in media
and academia obviously.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Or even long before woke the idea of trying to
fix racism with more racism. I just think that's going away.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
So just to take a quick look at the rest
of the numbers the broader public, If you just ask
all Americans, less than forty percent say DEI benefits the
minorities whom the policies are meant to help.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Less than forty.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
At least a quarter of Americans believe DEI actually increases
discrimination against these groups, while thirty three to forty one
percent say DEI makes no difference at all. You know,
just reinforcing for the empteenth time that these programs are
not are supported by a much smaller percentage of Americans
(05:23):
than a lot of people were led to believe, especially
in blue states because of it. And I wish I'd
memorize the term, because I think they had a clever
term for this. There's the the phenomenon where you've got
a very forceful and maybe like vicious, smallish percentage of
people who advocate strongly for particular point of view like DEI.
(05:48):
Say it's fifteen percent, and then you've got thirty or
forty percent at your workplace, in your school district, at
the hospital where you work, where you had to sit
down for these DEI trainings, thirty forty percent who are
just like, this is horsecrap. But I'm not saying a word.
(06:09):
And people look at that now, fifty five sixty percent total, right,
and they think, wow, everybody agrees with this.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I'd better shut up.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Sure, but all along, as we've been trying to tell you,
and a lot of you knew again there's there's very
little support for this stuff. It's idiotic, it's corrosive, it's counterproductive,
and all DEI programs, wherever they exist, government, education, private enterprise.
End them today by cob that's close the business.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Trump put at the end of his truth social the
other day about what was it? It was something huge?
It was which one was it? Probably everything? But is
something major? It's like threatening war with Russia or whatever.
And then at the end, thank you for your attention
to this matter. I know it's just disire.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
And then he tried it as a running joke for
a while, but it was just weird.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So we we were talking a little bit ago about tuberculosis.
There's a local case at a Indian casino, and I
know tuberculosis is up around the country.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
I prefer the term first people's gaming emporium, please.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Is that the tuberculosis comeback is mostly about our open borders,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, And so we has a little vaccine skepticism mixed in,
but yeah, it's the bulk of it is a wide
open plat.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
And whooping cough too well one of the reasons. So
the vaccine skepticism is just hitting at a bad time.
It wouldn't matter if you were vaccinated against whooping cough
or tuberculosis. Fairly recently because there wasn't any in the country.
You couldn't catch it, just so many people were vaccinating.
But now you're running into it all the time, Like
I ran into wooping cough and got very, very sick.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
We got this text a nurse here. If you were
born in the United States, you were.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Not immunized against tb We stopped quite a few years
back because you didn't need to.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
But if tuberculosis is running around, am I.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
As susceptible to it as Doc Holiday was in eighteen eighty?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean, if I catch it? Am I going to
get super duper sick.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Joe Biden was a villain in his administration. They weren't
bumbling in that they were villains doing this to the country.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And again, the timing is unfortunate that these diseases have
been re introduced to society at a time where you
do have a lot of people buying some.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Really wacky stories right about some very.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Long used vaccines like just more not like the COVID
vaccine that was introduced quickly and not a lot of
time to figure out long term effects or anything. Like
some of these vaccines have been around so.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
For so long.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I want to get into
this a little bit. I'm I'm pro vaxin. I'm not
anti vax I'm I guess you'd call me a conservative
on this issue, but I have sympathy for people who
are definitely further down the line than me, for reasons
that I will explain that may surprise you.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
There's a lot more people than I realized that are
super against all the vaccinations.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, I don't want to get whooping cough. Ever again,
I think I'm immune to it now that I got
the sickest I've ever been in my life, I don't
want to get tuberculosis either. We got more on the way,
including the Trump Putin meeting, which is being reported to
a bunch of places as likely to happen within days.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I find that hard to believe. Stay tuned.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Snacks in the air, deep center field, Scott going back
forget about it, Thanks God. Half Way up to pavilion,
the Dodger Tetzer launches a massive home run.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
When he was pitching, I didn't realize that his one
thousand tit was a home run for Shohey.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
A Tani, congratulations show, Hey Delmo arigato for all of
your baseball entertainment.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
May your future interpreters not steal from you traditional Japanese wish,
said Tels.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Really, so we're talking a little bit about the uh,
the whole vaccination anti vax thing, Jack, Did you want
to share that fascinating tidbit from the world of human coupling.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The world of you and coupling?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, I was told that on dating apps, we've heard
about how there are people that say, you know, if
you're a Trump fan, swipe left, which I guess means
you don't you're not interested. But there are quite a
few I guess if you're vaxed, swipe left from people
who are anti vaccine, like, don't even want to date
somebody who got vaccinated.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
You know, in my opinion, all you people are nuts,
and I wish you well. I'll be over here if
you need me, living my life and having friends and
associates that I disagree with on certain things.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But they're lovely people.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I wouldn't think you'd want to sow look for so
many ways to narrow the available pool of mates, but whatever.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Yeah, you do you So, I thought this was interesting
on a couple of different levels. The whole vax anti
vax thing, and I think most reasonable people are probably
somewhere in the middle. I remember being quite surprised in
the early days of discussing this several years ago. One
of our beloved listeners pointed out to me that, hey, Joe,
your kids who are now in their twenties and or thirties,
(11:42):
when they were vaccinated, they got X number of shots.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Now it's you know, whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
It was two and a half times as many, a
triple as many, or it was really a shocking number.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And I thought, Wow, that's a hell of a lot
of shots. So I'm reading this.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Piece in the Wall Street Journal about what's the headline?
With RFA Junior on their side, parents feel emboldened to
question vaccines.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And they talked to this.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Gal who has had to switch to pediatricians a couple
of times and felt like people were looking down on
her because she was a vaccine hesitant or whatever for
her kids. And they mentioned that the number of kindergarteners
with exemptions from vaccine requirements is at his highest level
since the CDC began tracking the number in twenty eleven,
and a couple things struck me about this article number one.
(12:28):
That's the CDC that lied to us, repeatedly misled us,
just took wild guesses about all the COVID stuff over
and over again. They flushed their credibility down the toilet
for a lot of people during COVID And then I
thought it was funny. Virtually the next sentence after they
mentioned the CDC in this article, the next sentence is
(12:51):
nearly sixty percent of the public does not plan to
get the COVID nineteen vaccine this fall, according to a
new Tracking poll on Well, wait a minute, this fall.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, it's coming from I don't plan to get it either, No,
mean neither. I'm a fat, old guy. I had never
even thought about it.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, and I got plenty of natural immunity, and it
just why would I bother? And you know, there's there
are questions about the technology. I think most of those
questions are probably misplaced. But again, there's no need for me.
But in the mainstream media, they're like, oh, yeah, these
anti vax people, like some people aren't considering getting the
COVID nineteen vaccine this fall. I'm like, wait, what seriously,
(13:30):
You're using that In the same story about like the
childhood vaccines. I thought that was interesting, and then they
mentioned that scientists generally consider vaccines safe and say their
benefits outweigh uncommon risks. We're coming out of an era,
and again I'm pro most vaccinations. We're coming out of
an era where it became clear that the authorities were saying, look,
(13:52):
if we can save one hundred people and sacrifice ten,
We're going to pretend that those ten won't be sacrificed
because we need compliance to save those hundred people. And
I have the moral authority and wisdom to make that
sort of decision.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So instead of leveling with people.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Will just tell them what we'll get the most compliance, again,
flushing their credibility down the toilet. They quote a number
of different folks and then they get to For the
love of all that is wholly, doctor Sue Cresley, President
of the American Academy of Pediatrics, We're doing a lot
(14:31):
more debunking of misinformation. We're allaying a lot of anxiety.
It's completely unnecessary. The American Academy of Pediatrics, who are
hardcore pro gender affirming care for confused children to get
mutilated and fed powerful you know, sex changing chemicals.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You can't change six but.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
A wildly progressive organization being quoted in this article, and
to any of us who followed the progressive politics of
the American Academy of Pediatrics, they flushed their credibility down
the toilet.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I don't listen to a single damn thing they say.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
In fact, if they tell me I shouldn't drink gasoline,
I may go down to my local pump and get
a gallon in case I feel like it. That's how
much I despise the American Academy of Pediatrics. There's an
alternate group I can't remember what their name is that
are much much, much more sane. But here it is
another mainstream media publication quoting them with a straight face
on what's right and what's wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It's like the way the on old people's stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
They quote the AARP like they're a neutral arbitrator of news.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Right exactly, or the NAACP or the Southern Poverty Law
Center or what have you. So I don't agree with
a lot of the severe you know, vaccine skeptics, but
I get your lack of trust in the health authorities.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
How much time I got Michael one minute again, I
can tell the story. So I ordered the Nazi jeans
that Sidney Sweeney promoted the men's version, not her version.
Oh and the white supremacist denhim. Yes, And I got
on the MAILI yesterday, and so then last night my
idea was because I got a denim shirt. I put
on the denim shirt and the jeans and I laid
down on the floor and I had Henry take a
(16:16):
picture of me, and I tweeted it out. And it
was meant to be a joke. Obviously, I thought it
was interpreted by some as like an attempt to be sexy.
I'm a sixty year old bald man. It seems to
me like on its face, it's a joke. Katie, I
still haven't slept since I saw the PA. Well, anyway,
the most trolls way in. I hate that that happened. Well,
(16:36):
that's what I was expecting, lots of troy and I
got lots of trollery. And it was hilarious and I
deserved the trollery. I mean, that was the point of
the picture. But somebody did a grock version of me
struggling to get up off the floor a video. They
took the picture turned it into a video of me
trying to get up.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's disturbing.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Now, I've seen a lot of grock videos, but when
you see yourself doing something that you didn't actually do,
it's weird. Oh we got a post it. It's wild.
Well it's on our Twitter feed.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But it's just like it's too good. It looks like
me trying to get up.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Isn't it weird that we will post it at Armstrong
and getty dot com under hot links take a look
the future.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Is now Nikes, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Isn't there a reality where like we're this planet is
not gonna be able to sustain us for the long term.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
We're gonna have to find elsewhere.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Well, okay, by bits sane estimates, it looks like our
population will level off at about ten billion. And but
if we want to keep growing a population, or if
we want to live forever, all right, we're gonna need
We're gonna need another planet.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That's one of the most prominent scientists in America, Neil
de grass Tyson. He was on CBS News yesterday and
they were talking about the hole.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
He's a jackass. Wait a minute, We're not taking him seriously,
are we.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He's a jerk. I hate him. I don't think I
said you've got to have his voice on my air.
I don't think I said anything that's controversial. He's one
of the most prominent scientists in America, and what.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Get out of my way. I'm yelling he's an idiot,
and what you said is accurate.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Also, while he's one of the most prominent scientists in America,
but he agrees with Elon Musk on that the only
way a species can survive in the universe is to
be multiplanetary. There may have been life on other planets,
but it died out when the planet got too hot
or too cold, or they killed themselves off or whatever.
(18:27):
And so that's one of the reasons, the main reason
that Elon Musk thinks that we need to be able
to get to Mars. This all came out of the
conversation earlier in the week when NASA announced the plan
to build probably two nuclear reactors on the Moon to
have power to do all the stuff you need to
do to have a Moon base, and that got the
(18:48):
conversation started on that whole thing. I was listened to
a podcast the other day and they're making the point.
These people that were really knowledgeable about it, making the
point that for some reason a certain segment of society
takes the whole space thing is kind of a joke.
I don't know why. Yeah, yeah, I heard that with
interest in your right. Virtually every announcement made over the
(19:09):
last you know, decade or so has been scoffed at
of whether it's the Space Force or building a base
on the Moon or going to Mars.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And I don't get it. Is it just because it's
the Trump administration to a large extent? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Anyway, So the conversation went this direction, is you're about
to hear and that's what I want to discuss with
with Tyson and the host on CBS News.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
So, so is that the moon because A I don't
want to live on the moon?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Right? Is it?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Will it serve as a functional life source eventually for
human beings? And B we know how the age of
colonialism worked on this planet. Should we be trying to
colonize and saying that there's a keepout zone that not
other countries can participate in.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
The real problem with the colonization history in Western civilization
is that there were people already there right right, There
are no moon beings that were displacing now right now,
or Martians. I'm just saying that the moon in Mars, Yes,
they would be the next place you might put people.
But I don't see it as a It makes a
(20:18):
good headline and clickbait, but I don't see it as
a realistic way to deal with our overpopulation or overconsumption?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Is there in me?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
All right? I dislike him slightly less.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
He was polite about it, but essentially he said, that's
a stupid effing question.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
The CBS host getting a fair amount of blowback, as
he should for the moronic statement of we saw how
colonial times worked out on this planet. First of all,
that's that's just on it, without even getting into the
moon conversation. That's just a dumb thing to say. What
what was your alternative to the way things unfolded in
(20:54):
human history? And how are you going to enforce it?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
What everybody say?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Exactly where you are in the year five thousand BC.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
What the hell are you even talking about?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
What sort of agreement were people's going to have as
we populated the earth as to who gets what land?
In your mind, how was that going to play out?
You freaking more on people that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Are that shortsighted or have such dumb takes.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
It makes me mad that there's no pushback and they
never have to explain themselves. I would love that guy
in CBS. Go ahead, flesh out your thoughts here. How
did you see the world unfolding planet Earth as the
population grew? That didn't include colonialism? Go ahead, talk as
long as you want.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I don't know if there's an entry in the Oxford
English Dictionary for pseudo intellectual But man, they got to
run that video on the online version of it.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Kah.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
People get away with saying that sort of crap all
the time.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
It's tribal signaling, that's all. It is, dumb masquerading as ideas.
But now getting to the Moon stuff, that's where we're headed.
So what they mentioned there, I should have set it
up better. What they mentioned there that with NASA included
in their statement about nuclear reactors that there would have
to be a keepout zone. There would have to be
a segment of the Moon where nobody else is allowed.
(22:13):
That's a message to China, and how do you enforce that?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I mean, the rules on the moon, the rules of
human nature, the rules of human nature are going to
be exactly the same on the Moon as they were
in Mexico in fifteen thirty when the Spanish showed up,
or at any other time in history. I mean, whoever
can enforce their will will get what they want.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Well, we know how the age of colonialism went on Earth.
You know, I've got the cure for this. It's funny.
Nobody's asked me, and it's fairly simple. There will be
some printing costs, but look, it's just a name change,
the United States and Moon of America. That's the new
name of the country.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That settles it. Anybody want to take our moon, come
and get it. It's like changing the Gulf of America
to the Moon of America. The Moon of America will
be a similar sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
United States and Moon of America.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
But this is happening. How in the world do people
not get that this is inevitable. There will be a
battle for resources on the Moon in the same way
that there was on every square inch of Earth, and
it'll be settled by whoever can enforce their will.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
My only disagreement is that and I can't see.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I can't see next week, much less five thousand years
in the future. But every square inch of Earth is
a real exaggeration because Greenland, for instance, that has amazing resources,
but it's just so forbidding and expensive to extract them.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Nobody has.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
And the only way the Moon doesn't turn out the
way you're talking about is if it's it's the same
you know results, Yeah, there's stuff there, but it's just
it doesn't make any sense to get it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
But the two countries that are going to try the
hardest are the two most powerful countries that you know,
with the two biggest economies on the planet. And so,
but we since we're already here on planet Earth and
we can battle it out here, I suppose that's where
it'll get decided as opposed.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
To on the Moon, right or maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Maybe we start to build a nuke reactor, we have
our keep out sign. China goes up there and just
goes right into that area, like okay, now, what are
you gonna do about it.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Which is you know, playing out what happens on Earth.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
They say there's no, uh, you can't come into the
South China see, and we say, yeah, yeah we can,
and we send all our ships through there, and they
would say, yeah, we want free navigation of the Moon.
So yeah, we're gonna, in fact, we're gonna go sit
on your nuclear reactor and pick our teeth for a while.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
What are you gonna do? I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I was listening to a story yesterday about the whole
rare earth minerals. How how is this a term that's
like just entered the world in the last six months
for most people. I mean, it's a fairly new conversation.
But it turns out there are all these things, and
some of it is computer technology demands these rare earths
that we didn't need before, But it turns out China
(25:18):
has got a ton of it. All my life, I've
been hearing about the great you know, was it Providence,
was it God?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
The democracy and freedom landed in the United States, a
giant country with oceans on each side to protect it
and unbelievable natural resources when coil and oil and timber
were the main things you needed. But it turns out
the stuff you need now, China's got most of it,
and they're producing ninety percent of most of the rare
(25:45):
earths that are needed for all your different kinds of
computer chips and all these different sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
This is a proatteries. This is a serious problem.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Oh yeah, And every so often there's another headline the
other day they're choking off the supply, partly because our
military is desperate for this stuff. We are in such
a vulnerable position vis a v you know, the rare
earths and the minerals we need and China's control of them.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Well, there's all kinds of stuff on the Moon that
if we can extract it at a cost that makes sense.
I suppose that will be very valuable. And to think
that we're when space exploration got started, first of all,
it was only us in the Russians a little bit,
so you couldn't have much conflict. And then you know,
you had the space station, and what a deal it
(26:33):
was when you had US astronauts crawling across and shaking
hands with the evil Soviets and all that.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Sort of stuff. But there was like this.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Haze around space exploration that the rules of human nature
didn't apply in space and never.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
On, which is just silly, right, Yeah, I agreed.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Well, and we haven't even talked about the nuclear reactor
on the moon really, other than a passing reference that
seems to be the go to energy source of choice,
and that'd be a fascinating thing to have, you know,
decades worth of ready energy to power whatever we wanted.
The moon, you know, as a springboard of the stars
and Mars and beyond. That's an incredibly valuable use of
(27:17):
that real estate, never mind rarer earth metals or whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I didn't realize how much water's on the Moon. Remember
when they discovered there was water on the moon what not,
like three years ago. That was such a huge giant
development to figure out there's water on the mood a
molecule of water. Now they're gazillions of gallons of water
on the moon seie.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
But yeah, better for cocktails moon cocktails anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And you can use that with the nuclear reactors and
everything you need to or extract stuff from the water.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So I'm putting out two albums at once, like you know,
like a prince would do or Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
One is Nuke the Moon's Punk Album.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
The other is what was that style of music that
was big like in the nineties, like Enya?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Was that real atmospheric what was the term for that?
You remember that.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Because my my album and that genre is Springboard that Stars.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
No, No, it's a good descriptory age new Age.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I think that is it. Yeah, that's my New Age album,
Springboard to the Stars, very calming, flowing.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yes, I want to honor an anniversary when we come back,
a self serving anniversary.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Then we'll get into all right.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Apple claims it's going to invest another one hundred billion
dollars in US manufacturing and gave Trump a great big
plaque yesterday to try to get a little heat of
the tariffs off of them. But yes, that's one of
the problems with the whole tariff thing. As I've learned
since we've all become semi experts in terrorists tariffs, as
(29:01):
we've looked into it. The problem with tariff's way back
in the day in the United States was it lends
itself to so much corruption to where you can favor
this company or that company based on whether they do
what you want them to do.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, exactly, winners.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
And losers, the winners and losers. Right, Apple's trying to
be a winner. But we got all kinds of stuff
on the waist.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
To hear.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
A naked man wearing nothing but a black gimp mask
and sneakers was caught on video prowling the streets of
a quiet town in England. You know, maybe I'm getting old,
but I can remember a time when brit Hume spent
his vacation in the Hamptons.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Wow, was Greg gutt Felt just suggesting that the naked
gimp mask sporting fellow was Frick Hume.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Good lord, odd situation.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
I just want to mention this because if we've gotten
texts or emails over the years that people said they
had helped them in their lives, so I'll mention it
again this year. It is nineteen ten years since I
have had a drink of alcohol. I am an alcoholic
and it has been nineteen years. And it can You
can do that too. You have to make it the
most important thing in your life is my experience. It
(30:13):
has to be the highest priority among everything, including your
children or your job or anything else. As they say,
in the world of trying to stay sober, anything you
put ahead of sobriety you will lose. So that's my suggestion,
and it can be done.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
That's enough of that.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yeah, let's say, yeah, go ahead, there's more of that. Nope, okay,
I thought you're still talking. Ah, so I can't decide
whether to go a hard newsy relevant. I've got some
Gavin Knew, someome kicking to do. I wanted to do
my teeth. That's what I was starting to say.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Deserved For the next hour.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I just came across some fantastic Epstein stuff and I'm
the last person would sell it's not at all. It's
not about the files or trials would It's just another
glimpse from another person, another poor victim, who has done
an interview about what the whole Epstein lifestyle thing was like.
And it's pretty damned interesting. So a couple of stories.
(31:06):
First of all, we ran out of time yesterday. Unfortunately.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
I was talking about how England is in terrible shape
the UK, that some people think the regime of.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
The Labor and.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Tory Party, the whole swamp of Britain's about to fall
apart because there's so much anger over the rampant, unchecked
immigration into Britain and there's you know, anger building.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
And I didn't get to one of my favorite parts
of this essay.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
The guy says.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
The Times London cartoon from July twenty fifth showed female
protesters waving homemade placards with slogans such as we're not
far right, We're worried about our kids, and British people
before boat people, and Dominic Green writes they stand on
a thin crust of earth below a skinhead ogre with
hate tattooed on his knuckles and made in England, and
(32:06):
a Saint George's cross tattooed on his shoulder. The ogre
arises the stubble of his buzz cut has already broken
through the surface and could be mistaken for the grass
of Bell Common, a very British reference there. The little
women have no idea that they have wakened an evil
giant across the country. The English giant has awakened on
the streets. No political party, older, New Left or right,
(32:28):
has a serious plan for how to placate it and
restore the social contract. The language of censure can no
longer silence it. The recourse to censorship will enrage it further. Wow,
and he's talking about the grooming and rape gangs. And
it's specifically this article is about Epping, England in the
Bell Hotel, which was housing a bunch of migrant asylum
(32:55):
seeking Africans who had crossed four or five safe country
and had arrived in England because of what they were
told were the country's generous welfare provisions and how England
is getting madder and madder and matter anyway, We'll have
to see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
God, i'd say.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
And then you combine it with the thing I'm always
talking about that nobody ever mentions is. It's a normal reaction,
I think, to just not want things to change from
the way they were when you were.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
A kid, that's just a normal reaction.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
And if they're demonstrably worse right, or they're worse to
the point that your daughters are getting raped, or their
worse to the point that an extremist political slash religious
movement is changing everything about your culture.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah, people are going to react very very badly. We
just got this text.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I won't finish it because maybe I'll get to a
next hour, But it starts with Jack Armstrong. You are
the most ignorant, ill informed pie hole on radio. I
wonder what topic that is. We'll get to it next hour.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Well, it's good to be you know the best. If
something my texts went through, I just like to be noticed. Yeah,
let's see my final thought, I guess someone on that topic.
Tom Cotton, Senator, is petitioning the IRS to formally investigate
the Council on American Islamic Relations CARE for violations of
(34:27):
its tax exempt status, citing quote ties to terrorist organizations
concluding Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. According to a formal
letter sent Tuesday and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon,
this could absolutely happen.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Wow. Cotton, who's the.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He's not
some sort of Marjorie Taylor green bomb chucking backbencher. He's
a very very serious man. Says that CARES deep tized
terrorist organizations weren't immediate IRS investigation to determine if the
group is in compliance with Section five to one c
three of the tax Code, which governs nonprofits. There's more
(35:06):
to this, but that's the long short of it. Really
interesting to see where this goes.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Power four is going to be great.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
And then we have the One More Thing podcast, so
we do more stuff that maybe some of you don't
get or hear. If you want to catch it, you
can find our podcast Armstrong and Geeddy on demand on
Armstrong in Getty on demand.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
So much good material. It's just I'm embarrassed to how
great it Armstrong and Getty
