Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong
and Jettie and He Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A friend of mine who's slightly overweight, to put it mildly,
went to a drug store in London and he was
able to.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Get one of the fat shots.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I caught the fat shots, said jamiad.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You lose weight. He knows exactly what I was talking about.
He called. He said that was interesting. He said he
was very concerned that I might use his name. I
might slip. Now he doesn't have to worry. But he
told me. He said, Hey, a strange thing happened.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I just bought the drug, same company, same plan, same everything.
Everything was the same in New York thirteen hundred dollars,
and in London, I'm paying eighty eight dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He said, what's going on? Now? He knew not that
he's a.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Very smart guy, He's a very rich guy. His big
problem is he's seriously overweight. But I don't think the
drug worked. Okay, to be honest with you, but it
makes him feel good anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That's like day three of Trump's story about his fat friend,
his drugs.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
He so workshops his comedy routine, tries it for different audiences.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I don't want to I'm gonna get into the foreign
policy speech he gave yesterday. I don't want to get
sidetracked by this whole drug prescription thing. It is so complicated, though.
I've listened to a number of podcasts where they got
into the details, and it's so easily easy to be
misled by a lot of statistics. So a lot of
the now it sounds like they're his fat friend, very fat,
(01:47):
incredibly fat. A fat friend there was paying thirteen hundred
dollars in New York and paid eighty dollars in London.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Wanted to know why.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
That's a perfectly reasonable question, like why am I paying
so much in the United States and so cheap here?
When we develop the reasonable question. But just in general,
a lot of the stuff you hear about drugs, the
statistics for costs, it's for the name brand, which practically
none of us are actually getting. We're getting the generic,
so it's the tiniest percentage of that, so it misleads
(02:16):
the statistics. There's all kinds of things going on in
that world that make it hard to nail down.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And the way money flows into and out of various entities,
from your insurance company to the pharmacies, to the drug
companies to the pharmacy benefit managers. An unholy group of
humans if there ever was. When yes, so complicated.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I'm on eight drugs for the swooping coth right now,
which is crazy. But like so, I went to the
doctor on Saturday after spending time there, and I think
it picked up four new drugs, just like everybody else
when they go to pharmacy. I had the slightest idea
what the little screen was going to say they cost,
had no idea. I wasn't very worried about it because
(02:57):
it probably wasn't gonna be very much. So like was
three cents, one them was a dollar five, one them
was forty four bucks, and then the other one was
like four and.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I just pressed okay and tapped my card and walked
out the door. And I don't have any imagine if
groceries are like that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Let's see, this ham will be one hundred and seventy
five dollars, this bread is two cents, this cheese will
be a dollar one, And you think, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And I don't have.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, it's way more complicated than even that example, because
like somebody may have been that one that cost eight cents,
my insurance company might have paid a five hundred dollars
for and I got spread around everybody else that's insured
by that company for some reason.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
I don't know any idea what it actually cost the
insurance company. And then what are what are my options
anyway to not press Okay, I will not pay forty
four dollars for whatever that drug is. It should be
much less than that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And incur the wrath of the already surly pharmacy employee.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
No way feel bad for those people. The other day
I got to the pharmacy. I've been there way too
much lately. I get there and some old guys walk
in my way and he says he said something old timey.
He says, like railroading. Me, it's train robbery or something
like that. I said, what's that and he said, it's
train robbery around here, that's what it is. I just
(04:20):
kind of said, like, the poor girl who's you know,
at pharmacy school, has any role in it whatsoever?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
What's she supposed to do?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's your insurance. I work for CBS.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
They I don't know, what do you want such a mess? Okay,
different topic than Trump's fat fat friend. Who people who
know Trump and his friends are trying to figure out
which fat friend.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So Donald Trump gave like a forty five minute speech
yesterday in Saudi Arabia. And this was Mark Halprin's ride
up of it today, in which he said Trump's Tuesday speech,
which shockingly gets almost zero coverage in the American media,
was one for the ages, with some observers not unreasonably
(05:08):
calling it extraordinary and some supporters saying it was one
of the best and most important addresses by a US
president in many, many years. It warn't your time to
watch it and full if you have not to understand
Trump's unusual distinctive worldview. Now I'm going to read a
little bit from you that will, you know, portray that worldview.
But I also wonder, since Trump is a very interesting
guy who's primarily interested in economics and that sort of stuff,
(05:32):
although he was pretty hardcore anti the Iraq war back
in the day, like, how much of this speech did
he sit down with speech writers and explain to them
what he wanted to communicate.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Did Jade Vance write most of this?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
And Trump is like, sure, fine, I don't care, or
what I don't I don't actually know, but let me
read some of it. Oh, and he's talking about the
success of all the people in that room, because he
had people from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and you know,
those rich areas of the Middle East that we see
with their gleaming buildings and more modern than anything we've
(06:06):
got in the United States. It's crucial for the wider
world to know this great transformation has not come from
Western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you
lectures on how to live and how to govern your
own affairs. In the end, the so called nation builders
racked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists
were intervening in societies they did not understand themselves. No,
(06:30):
the gleaming marbles of Riad and Abu Dhabi were not
created by the so called nation builders, neo cons or
liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of
dollars failing to develop Bagdad and so many other cities.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's a good point. Now, this is very JD. Vanside.
That's what I thought, solidly reasoned so far decent point.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Though we poured trillion I don't know about trillions, but
lots of money into Baghdad. It's till everything it's ever
been Abu Dhabi and ryodd that was ground up from
the inside.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Anyway, back to.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Every mind the zillions of dollars spent in Afghanistan.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been
brought by the people of the region themselves, the people
that are right here, the people that have lived here
all their lives, Developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your
own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your
own way. They told you how to do it, but
they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity,
(07:31):
and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of
your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and
embracing the same heritage that you loved so dearly. You
achieved a modern miracle, the Arabian way.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
No wonder people respect you so much. I thought that
was really interesting. Yeah, agreed, it's really good outreach too.
I think it's savvy most gleaming modern.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Look like something from the jets and cities in the
world did come from those local societies. Whether you hate
their culture or politics or the way they treat women
or whatever, they were able to build these unbelievable cities.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And we've tried so hard to turn.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Kabul and Bagdad and a whole bunch of other different
places in the Middle East into god, you know, anything
close to Cincinnati, and we haven't come within a million miles.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, this it gets a little more complicated, but you know,
the broad outlines of your point I think are true.
It helps to have unlimited numbers of petro dollars. And
the whole modern gleaming thing is partly because there wasn't
anything there twenty years ago. So yeah, it's it's modern gleaming,
because what else would it be.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, but I think a certain amount of it has
to do with.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Taking off the restrictions of here's the way we feel
like you need to treat women, gay people, minorities, disentrenchised,
all this different sort of stuff, all these ties that
come with it, as opposed to Trump saying, hey, it's
your society, it's your customs, it's your heritage.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You know, you're building it the way you want, and hey,
look at your city.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And honestly, in spite of the lack of success with
China doing this, I think there's probably a fair amount
of Hey, let's get these guys up and involved in
world economics and international diplomacy and have them intertwined with
bunches of other countries and it'll drag them into the
modern era much more effectively than browbeating them will.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Anyway, Well, there's zero is there any Are there any
good examples of us trying to build from the ground
up one of these uh, turn one of these citters
around having it work.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Ceruly not in the Middle East?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, it depends, you know, how much involvement over what
period of time you're talking about. And interestingly enough, there
were some pretty good success stories in Africa, but those
of on completely to hell now and you could argue that, well,
that's because they didn't build up the infrastructure. It's like
we're watching the we're doing a bit of a remodel
(10:10):
on our house, and it's been super interesting to see
how they dig the hole for the footings and then
pour the foundation and all the rebar and the cinder
blocks and stuff like that. And we've made the point
many times that our system of government, our rights that
we enjoy, our constitution are built on the concrete and
(10:30):
rebar and cinder blocks of hundreds of years of English
common law, Judeo Christian principles, the rest of it. And
then if you try to build, at the risk of
belaboring the metaphor, if you try to build the house
of that sort of thing on sand, it's not going
to work. And so Trump is saying, y'all build your
(10:53):
foundations the way you want and then let's do business.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So you think JD.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Vance had a hand in that whole speech, both hands.
It was completely It's a complete rejection of George Bush's
ideas of nation building, and it's a rejection of democratic
(11:17):
presidents with their coming in there with we'll give you money,
but here's the way we think you should live.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's a complete rejection of that too.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, I'm still super for the record, I'm super uncomfortable
with the fact that Cutter, for instance, is trying to
buy influence in America hundreds of billions of dollars, perverting
our colleges, having them become just vipers nests of Islamism,
anti Israel rhetoric, the rest of it. There are huge
(11:46):
supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood on Islamist organization that would
like Sharia law to conquer the entire earth, and they're
not spending hundreds of billions of dollars backing that because
they don't believe it or don't.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Agree with it.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
But there are those things we don't have to let
them do that. We can let them build their big,
gleaming city. We don't have to let them, you know,
influence our colleges.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Well right now, well right, yeah, for instance, that's not
gonna happen, but more on that later. Uh yeah, Well
the argument would be, well, we don't want to participate
in enriching them, so they have even more finances to
back terrorism. M But you know, I'm if JD. Vans
(12:27):
were to say to me, dude, that'll go away of
its own. That's what I think on a cord. It's
not a stupid argument. I'm not sure I agree with it,
but it's it's worth considering.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
They play, they beat, They more than play footsie with
the terrorists, no doubt about it. But I don't think
MBS his goal in life is not to establish a
Muslim caliphate.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
No, I don't think so. No, not to be starving
poor when the oil runs out. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Anyway, I thought that was damned interesting and got zero attention, zero,
no coverage whatsoever. And he talked quite a bit about
becoming friends with a Ryan again and how we don't
have to be enemies and all that. Different topic, different name.
As they screamed toward getting a bond a bomb. George
(13:18):
Biden did not recognize George Clooney. Breaking news among other things,
George Biden, Joe Biden, Let me read it again. Take
Joe Biden did not recognize George Clooney.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
What breaking news? Among other things? Coming up? Stay toue.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I'm tired of dumb movies. I want to talk about
that later. Dumb movies. Not this is not a place
for them, but I'm tired of dumb movies. By the way,
breaking news, HBO max Max is changing its name back
to HBO Max.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Oh this changes everything, all right?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Fine, Speaking of stupid stories, This was sent along by
alert listener William. I think this has to do with
the UK. But if you're a pilot you may know this.
The world has two hundred and eighty thousand aviation GPS
waypoints that have a code assigned to them. It's part
of the navigation process. And apparently I think this is
(14:20):
in the UK, air traffic controllers are refusing to use
potentially offensive route names and are forcing the regulator to
rename them. These are random five letter codes that were
assigned and now in the twenty first century the air
(14:41):
twenty twenty five, some of them are seen as offensive
and the air traffic controllers just don't even want to
say them. This is so childish and stupid. Here are
the five most offensive ones that need to be renamed.
Pik e y pike it's an offensive, uh racial slur
(15:03):
referring to roma gypsies so called Irish travelers. Others include
ak knob U t I t I, which I guess
is pronounced to you titty, and ratpoo r A t
p O, and also coxp CO x p E.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I don't particularly like that name. That second one, who's
out to rub me as an activity or a name
for a GPS thing. No, no, no, let's stick with
the topic here. These are way points, navigation waypoints. Yeare
are U B M I.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Pikey's going to be renamed Vaxima. Oh that's that's like
forcing vaccines. Donald throats COXP will now be far Joe.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Okay, seriously, you people got nothing more important to worry about.
All the problems in the world. All that is is
all the hunger, all everything, and this is your cost.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Right Somewhere in there is that whole narcissism of small
differences thing or something.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, or the princess and the pe idea that look,
look at me, how sensitive and enlightened I am.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I'm bothered by old COXP every time. I never every
time I try to fly through Britain, somebody says Coxpe
to me, and I'm tired of it. Obscene.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
We do need a world We need a world war
or a great depression to get us out of this.
Although we thought the like a worldwide pandemic might fix it,
and it didn't know in certain some way that made
it worse.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, things worse. That's disappointing.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
On the other hand, you got medical science forging ahead.
You need a kidney, you can't get one, borrow one
from your neighborhood. Pig pig kidneys. There's a pig borrowing
borrow one familiar with them, borrow.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
One like you'll return it when you're done with it,
and from your neighborhood pig which is not exactly a thing,
depending on your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I was just trying to be I don't know lyrical anyway.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, but that is a major medical breakthrough, and we'll
have a little news on that, among other things on
the way.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Stay here, Armstrong and.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Getty observing this ultrasund that is an ultrasound at a
pig kidney inside Tim, Is there anything in there that
makes it clear that it's a pig kidney?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
No, exactly like a humor one.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
And not only does it look like one eight weeks postoperatively,
it's acting like one.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
The level of kidney function is as good as we
would expect from a human kidney transplant.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Holy cow, nice job, pig kidney.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
So, kidneys is one of the big ones, because why
do your kidneys go south on you? Just happens sometimes.
High blood pressure is one major cost because a liver.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Is often a drinking and drugs thing, right, But kidneys
can just fail on you. Yeah, are some drugs you
pross us through your kidneys. But I don't know much
about it.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Anyway, so you got two of those, you got one liver,
you got two kidneys, my right, so far. And then
if you need a new kidney, somebody who has a
is a match for you, you can have to take
one of their kidneys, because a person can get buy
on one kidney, right, right, But that's always been you
have no kidneys, that's a drag, right, and then you
got to find somebody of the kidney. And sometimes you're
(18:23):
on the list and thinking, man, if I don't get
a kidney, soon, I'm gonna be kidney lists, which you
can't be, and then you'll die. Nobody want to say, yes, Katie,
do you know something about kidneys?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Yeah, I have a kidney disease, and the transplant list
for kidneys is the longest out of all of the organs.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Do you still have both yours? I do?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
They both work for the most part, yes, But if
there are cancers that affect the kidneys, there are all
sorts of things that can hurt them.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, how'd you ruin your kidneys? It's just a like
genetic thing, or it's a genetic thing, gotcha, m And
then but.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
So we've been hearing about this our whole lives, and
now if they could use pig needs, that would eliminate
the whole problem.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I assume, Yeah, unless you're a pig, then it caused
a whole new set of problems. But the point remains,
it's an event. More of doctor Sanjay Gupta's report.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
Now, there is one complication they're watching for very carefully,
something that has unique to zeno transplants.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And think we not only.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Tim maybe all of us.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
If there is some sort of weird or strange virus
in the pig and it gets into the human population
through one of these transplants, might not only affect the patient,
but people around the patient as well.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
In all the studies that we're doing, we're not only
monitoring the patient, but their close context.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
You're right, these stories are always presented from the human
being point of view, and not from the pig's point
of view, in which he would say, Hey, I was
using this.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You show me where I said
this was cool.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It is not cool, by the way, the idea of
some horrendous pig virus spreading to humans.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Doctor Fauci says, what.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It's probably doing experiments in North Korea right now it's
some leaky lab financing that good thing, Biden pardoned. I'll
never forget one more nugget from this story.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
This is really the progress of several Nobel Prize winning discoveries,
everything from Crisper, which is gene editing technology actually taking
genes out of the pig genome adding other genes in
from humans into the pig genome. They also use cloning,
They use IVF, they use transplant immunology. These are just huge,
(20:32):
huge developments in the world of medicine that have all
sort of come together to make this work. But they
basically make the pig genome compatible with humans.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's what they do. Two legs good, four legs bad.
That's where you end up.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Fall in love with her cute little snout, her hooves.
Let me stroke your hooves, my love.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That'd be cool if this becomes a thing of the past,
having to worry about kidneys.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Do they get to vote these half human, half big
well not exactly half. Yes, yeah, I do have to
tell you.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
During that report, when they were giving the guy the
ultrasound to show him the kidney, he he rubbed his
stomach and went, you can feel the little piggy, right,
there a little cringey.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's very cringey. And do you every time you eat
like bacon, do you kind of just like not up
to heaven a little bit, kind of a salute.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Like a little toast for the homieses Or do you
like vomit it because you're you know, you're rejected?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, kind of a right, yeah, it's you, right pigabilis anyway, So.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Well, the doctor that puts your pig kidney in you
have been the most qualified person they could get at
UCLA or did they just fit the racial quotas that
they wanted. This is going on at UCLA Medical School,
one of the most you know, prestigious medical schools in
the entire world. They're clearly was clearly continuing to use
(21:54):
race and admissions. I mean, there's just no getting around
at whatsoever in the lawsuit going on right now, and
it's against the Asians because they just there's too many
Asian kids that are super smart and can qualify for
the school and not enough Black kids and they don't.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Like that result. So what do you do? You discriminate
by race?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I mean, you the lefties, you discriminate by race to
try to fix the problem, which is just nuts.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Right right.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
UCLA Medical is unforgivably woke. A new story emerges every week.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Lawsuit brought on behalf of students denied admissions since twenty twenty.
According to the complaint, UCLA will routinely admit black applicants
with below average GPA and MCAT scores. In twenty twenty three,
Asians where forty one percent of the total applicants and
only twenty eight percent of the people that graduated. Black
(22:48):
applicants made up eight percent of the applicants, but fourteen
percent of the graduates.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, so at much lower scores. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Preferences have been outlawed in California since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Even in California.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
We voted that now making decisions based on racist racists,
we ain't gonna do that, even in California.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But of course, the enlightened universities find their way around it. Right.
And here's an idea, Black America.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
We just keep you know, growing school choice and all
the other things that will actually improve education and educational
outcomes for black kids, so that every damn a black
man or woman who graduates from a medical school, everybody
will know they're one hundred percent qualified, wouldn't and there
will never be any whispers about, you know, diversity hires
(23:40):
or DEI doctors, or wouldn't that be great? And yet
the progressives are the ones who prevent that.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Justice.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Roberts wrote in the student's prefer admissions case that racial
preferences cannot be reconciled with the Constitution's equal protection clause
and that a student must be traded based on his
or her experience as an individual, not.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
On the basis of race. Obs would be my response,
as a known right.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Obs It's amazing how hard it is to kill off
this kind of racism.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Well, they do it with the approval of their own consciences.
They are utterly convinced that they are doing the right
thing by pushing some people down to elevate others.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's the hubris of it has always amazed me.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You think so highly of yourself, your judgments, your morals
that you can wield the awful, awful tool of racial
discrimination to get the outcome that you say is appropriate.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Sickening you people sicken me, And and god, dang it,
this is and I almost said a very nasty thing.
I'm glad I didn't part of me whisch is aa
anyway you're conflicted on this, I am.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Thank you for summarizing what really blanking pisses me off
is that these same people are putting the band aid
of Look, they're not really qualified, and we really didn't
educate them at government schools, but let's go ahead and
shove them into these upper tier colleges and medical schools
or whatever, and then pretend like they're qualified.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You are making it impossible.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
To actually reform schools for the little kids when they're
young and idealistic and want to learn. I'm talking about
your black kids and whatever kids of whatever race you're
talking about. You with your let's just go ahead and
coout out to the teachers' unions, then elevate them artificially
when they hit college. You are making it impossible to
do the real work to improve these people's lives. You
(25:47):
hypocritical self regarding bastards.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I hate you. You want hate speech? There, it is?
I hate you.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
So these are their kidneys. They are actually taken just
out of a regular pig. It's not one of those.
They're growing a pig valve and a Petri dish or something.
I don't actually know that.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I mean, the guy mentioned the many, many incredible technologies
that grow in go into getting a very different I mean,
it's not a typical. You can't like go down to
your local hog farm steal a kidney and have it
stuffed in you.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
These are incredibly advanced. Oh so it's not just a
railery run of the mill orval the pig kidney. No,
were you listening, idn't understand. So they had to ease
the crisper and everything else to bring this kidney around.
There you go, yep, among other things. Yeah, and what
(26:45):
is it with the pig? Why the pig.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
For instance? Yeah, the monkey, which is genetically very similar. Certainly,
apes are certain to several people. I know, I uh
a fair point. I know that I've heard this for
years and years and years that pigs have a number
of genetic similarities to us that make them compatible.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I don't know why. But skin, I think is another one.
And uh, porksretail.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I'm not sure you're taking this seriously, but yeah, for
some reason that I'm sure a geneticist could explain, pigs
are compatible with humans.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
There you go, and delicious, I'll just take the word
for it. Oh cool, that's all good.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So speaking of Hogs, David Hogg is a giant pain
in the ass and he's causing real problems in the
Democratic Party and I'm enjoying it very much.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No kidding. They so want to get rid of them,
but they don't like the way it will look.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Have you heard their new plot for how they're going
to get rid of them, and how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's pretty funny. Oh okay, I'll bring that to you
in a seconds. So that's coming up among other things
to hear.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
But I think what I'm doing that's different from before,
as I'm challenging the status quote in a direct way
and head on, and that really scares people. But frankly,
I think right now nobody should be comfortable when our
country is in a moment of crisis, and I think
that there is far too much comfortability across the board,
and we need to make sure that we were electing
the best people possible, and.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
In our own party, that's over a confident, self righteous
prig David Hogg, anti gun radical, AOC style activist in
the Democratic Party who got voted in as the what
is his title vice chair And we'll be getting to
that in a moment. He is the vice chairman of
(28:39):
the DNC, the Democratic National Committee. He has said that
he will primary anybody who doesn't come along with the
radical Young People's agenda, to which Hakim Jeffries replies.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
The vice chair of the DNC, David Hogg, he said today, quote,
too many leaders in the Democratic Party are asleep at
the wheel. You're obviously a leader in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did he mentioned me my name?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
He did not put your leader? Okay, our Democrats to
sleep at the wheel? Does he have a point and
should he stay in his role?
Speaker 11 (29:07):
I think I've been very clear about my perspective on
David Hogg, and I'm going to defend every single member
of the United States House of Representatives and the Democratic talkus.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
I think David Hog understands that maybe the older crowd
doesn't understand. He understands like AOC and Marjorie Taylor Green
understand if I can get on enough TV shows or
enough Twitter followers, I can raise money and do whatever
the hell.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I want and everyone knows it. Hog feasting at the
trough of Internet fame. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Yeah, And if he can raise money to his crowd, saying,
let's take on whichever Democratic member of Congress who's kind
of like moderate ish and he wants more of an
AOC style person in there.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
He can raise money and do that and nobody can
stop it. Wallowing in the mud of media approval. I'm
gonna be using his kidney someday. So here's the deal.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
He's pissed off all the old hands and leaders in
the Democratic Party and they're sick of him and they
want to.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Get rid of him.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
So just three months ago he was elected to vice chair. Yeah,
vice chair three months ago.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Well, now they're saying, oh, there was a procedural flaw
that made it harder for a woman to be elected. Yes,
let's hold another election. We've fixed that flaw. Now shall
we vote again.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
If you're not familiar with the name or it rings
a bell, his backstory is he was one of the
poor kids that was in the Parkland, Florida school when
the shooter went in and killed so many people, one
of the worst shootings in our nation's history.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And he was a kid.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Then he rose to fame by coming out and being
a very outspoken anti gun sort of person, and the
left loved him, and then they did that thing that
we always complain about that if you were a victim
of some sort of first of all, if you're young,
and if you were a victim of something, we have
to take every opinion you have is hallowed and obviously brilliant.
(31:02):
And they did for so long that he got built
up in a way that now they can't control him, right, right,
and so, and this is the sort of hilarious I
guess plausible denial that you see a fair amount in politics.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
They say, yeah, yeah, we had a procedural flaw that
made it harder for a woman to be elected. So
let's hold another vote and maybe, you know, we'll get
somebody else. And it's absolutely transparent what they're doing. I mean,
it's hilarious that they're even going through the charade. And
yet it will work. They will have the vote, and
they'll heave this young man out on his ear do
(31:37):
you think so? And then he'll probably get a gig
on MSNBC called I don't know, Hogstraw or something, and
he'll go on his merry way, yes, wallowing in the
headlines with David Hogg. That would be the sound for
he is politics.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I was just looking at all these sketches that have
come out of the Diddy trial. We're gonna have an
update on that an hour four. His former girlfriend and
taking the stand again today. They're not allowing TVs in
the or cameras in the courtroom. I go back and
forth on that all the time. This would be a
pretty good TV show, but it probably distorts justice, as
(32:21):
we saw in the oj trial. You know, I'm looking
at some of the drawings. Apparently I can't believe he
actually did this when she took the stand eight months pregnant.
You know the videos out there have you beaten the
crap out of her and dragging her down the hallway
by her hair.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
She's testifying to days long freak golfs. I don't even
know what that means.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
The human body has limits, the attention span of the years,
does huh? Attention span has limits. I mean, you can
only be interested, even in sex for so long. I
just I don't even get what a day's long. I
don't know what's happening there on either end. But he's
like a three day golf trip. You don't play golf
(33:10):
all day or a lot of it, But then do
you go off to dinner and you hang out and
then you play some more golf. Anyway, we'll get some
of our testimony from yesterday where she talked about it
started off as like kind of weird, and I thought
it was weird that he wanted me to have sex
with somebody else, and then it turned into a job
that she hated, and she was just so afraid of
him that she kept going.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
She does point out that she was twenty two years old.
He was about forty twenty two years old, living a
billionaire lifestyle too. It's a lot anyway.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
One of the drawings yesterday is when she walked in
the room, he did that and I've never actually done
this before. I'm going to do it right now for
the first time. That heart hand signal that people do
where they put their hands together.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And make a hoard.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
He did that a heart on his chest to her
when she walked in. That's how much he apparently thinks
he can still manipulate her, or was willing to try.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Wow. He knows his goose is cooked, so he's thought,
you know, what the hell, give it a try. Wow.
I don't know if the jury saw that, if I
saw that as a juror'd you that is weird?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Dude? Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't be sending signals
to witnesses. Yeah, I would not like that, is a jiroor.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
The argument that they're making, which is what you've said
for several days now, is yeah, domestic violence. There's a
lot of domestic violence in the world. Unfortunately, you don't
go to prison for the rest of your life for
domestic violence.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
You can eventually, but uh.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
You know, sex that other people don't think is appropriate,
You don't go to jail for the rest of your
life for that either, if it's consensual. Because he's being
accused of all kinds of things that they got to
prove that he was trafficking in a variety of things.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
And I have a feeling much less uh, excuse me,
I had to sneeze much less dramatic. Oh no, oh
my gosh, my allergies with allergies all of a sudden,
all of a sudden. Yeah, you haven't got my whooping cough,
have you? I certainly hope not. What was I saying
as as a oh much less quote unquote sexy experts
(35:13):
are going to testify as to the transfer of money
and the realities, sex trafficking laws and stuff like that,
and that's going to drive home the case. But next hour,
Trump is not going to take that plane from Qatar.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Will he explain that, among other things, hope you can
hang around Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong
and Jettie and He Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A friend of mine who's slightly overweight, to put it mildly,
went to a drug store in London and he was
able to.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Get one of the fat shots.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I caught the fat shots, said jamiad.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You lose weight. He knows exactly what I was talking about.
He called. He said that was interesting. He said he
was very concerned that I might use his name. I
might slip. Now he doesn't have to worry. But he
told me. He said, Hey, a strange thing happened.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I just bought the drug, same company, same plan, same everything.
Everything was the same in New York thirteen hundred dollars,
and in London, I'm paying eighty eight dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He said, what's going on? Now? He knew not that
he's a.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Very smart guy, He's a very rich guy. His big
problem is he's seriously overweight. But I don't think the
drug worked. Okay, to be honest with you, but it
makes him feel good anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That's like day three of Trump's story about his fat friend,
his drugs.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
He so workshops his comedy routine, tries it for different audiences.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I don't want to I'm gonna get into the foreign
policy speech he gave yesterday. I don't want to get
sidetracked by this whole drug prescription thing. It is so complicated, though.
I've listened to a number of podcasts where they got
into the details, and it's so easily easy to be
misled by a lot of statistics. So a lot of
the now it sounds like they're his fat friend, very fat,
(01:47):
incredibly fat. A fat friend there was paying thirteen hundred
dollars in New York and paid eighty dollars in London.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Wanted to know why.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
That's a perfectly reasonable question, like why am I paying
so much in the United States and so cheap here?
When we develop the reasonable question. But just in general,
a lot of the stuff you hear about drugs, the
statistics for costs, it's for the name brand, which practically
none of us are actually getting. We're getting the generic,
so it's the tiniest percentage of that, so it misleads
(02:16):
the statistics. There's all kinds of things going on in
that world that make it hard to nail down.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And the way money flows into and out of various entities,
from your insurance company to the pharmacies, to the drug
companies to the pharmacy benefit managers. An unholy group of
humans if there ever was. When yes, so complicated.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I'm on eight drugs for the swooping coth right now,
which is crazy. But like so, I went to the
doctor on Saturday after spending time there, and I think
it picked up four new drugs, just like everybody else
when they go to pharmacy. I had the slightest idea
what the little screen was going to say they cost,
had no idea. I wasn't very worried about it because
(02:57):
it probably wasn't gonna be very much. So like was
three cents, one them was a dollar five, one them
was forty four bucks, and then the other one was
like four and.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I just pressed okay and tapped my card and walked
out the door. And I don't have any imagine if
groceries are like that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Let's see, this ham will be one hundred and seventy
five dollars, this bread is two cents, this cheese will
be a dollar one, And you think, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And I don't have.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, it's way more complicated than even that example, because
like somebody may have been that one that cost eight cents,
my insurance company might have paid a five hundred dollars
for and I got spread around everybody else that's insured
by that company for some reason.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
I don't know any idea what it actually cost the
insurance company. And then what are what are my options
anyway to not press Okay, I will not pay forty
four dollars for whatever that drug is. It should be
much less than that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And incur the wrath of the already surly pharmacy employee.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
No way feel bad for those people. The other day
I got to the pharmacy. I've been there way too
much lately. I get there and some old guys walk
in my way and he says he said something old timey.
He says, like railroading. Me, it's train robbery or something
like that. I said, what's that and he said, it's
train robbery around here, that's what it is. I just
(04:20):
kind of said, like, the poor girl who's you know,
at pharmacy school, has any role in it whatsoever?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
What's she supposed to do?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's your insurance. I work for CBS.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
They I don't know, what do you want such a mess? Okay,
different topic than Trump's fat fat friend. Who people who
know Trump and his friends are trying to figure out
which fat friend.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So Donald Trump gave like a forty five minute speech
yesterday in Saudi Arabia. And this was Mark Halprin's ride
up of it today, in which he said Trump's Tuesday speech,
which shockingly gets almost zero coverage in the American media,
was one for the ages, with some observers not unreasonably
(05:08):
calling it extraordinary and some supporters saying it was one
of the best and most important addresses by a US
president in many, many years. It warn't your time to
watch it and full if you have not to understand
Trump's unusual distinctive worldview. Now I'm going to read a
little bit from you that will, you know, portray that worldview.
But I also wonder, since Trump is a very interesting
guy who's primarily interested in economics and that sort of stuff,
(05:32):
although he was pretty hardcore anti the Iraq war back
in the day, like, how much of this speech did
he sit down with speech writers and explain to them
what he wanted to communicate.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Did Jade Vance write most of this?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
And Trump is like, sure, fine, I don't care, or
what I don't I don't actually know, but let me
read some of it. Oh, and he's talking about the
success of all the people in that room, because he
had people from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and you know,
those rich areas of the Middle East that we see
with their gleaming buildings and more modern than anything we've
(06:06):
got in the United States. It's crucial for the wider
world to know this great transformation has not come from
Western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you
lectures on how to live and how to govern your
own affairs. In the end, the so called nation builders
racked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists
were intervening in societies they did not understand themselves. No,
(06:30):
the gleaming marbles of Riad and Abu Dhabi were not
created by the so called nation builders, neo cons or
liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of
dollars failing to develop Bagdad and so many other cities.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's a good point. Now, this is very JD. Vanside.
That's what I thought, solidly reasoned so far decent point.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Though we poured trillion I don't know about trillions, but
lots of money into Baghdad. It's till everything it's ever
been Abu Dhabi and ryodd that was ground up from
the inside.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Anyway, back to.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Every mind the zillions of dollars spent in Afghanistan.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been
brought by the people of the region themselves, the people
that are right here, the people that have lived here
all their lives, Developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your
own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your
own way. They told you how to do it, but
they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity,
(07:31):
and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of
your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and
embracing the same heritage that you loved so dearly. You
achieved a modern miracle, the Arabian way.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
No wonder people respect you so much. I thought that
was really interesting. Yeah, agreed, it's really good outreach too.
I think it's savvy most gleaming modern.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Look like something from the jets and cities in the
world did come from those local societies. Whether you hate
their culture or politics or the way they treat women
or whatever, they were able to build these unbelievable cities.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And we've tried so hard to turn.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Kabul and Bagdad and a whole bunch of other different
places in the Middle East into god, you know, anything
close to Cincinnati, and we haven't come within a million miles.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, this it gets a little more complicated, but you know,
the broad outlines of your point I think are true.
It helps to have unlimited numbers of petro dollars. And
the whole modern gleaming thing is partly because there wasn't
anything there twenty years ago. So yeah, it's it's modern gleaming,
because what else would it be.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, but I think a certain amount of it has
to do with.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Taking off the restrictions of here's the way we feel
like you need to treat women, gay people, minorities, disentrenchised,
all this different sort of stuff, all these ties that
come with it, as opposed to Trump saying, hey, it's
your society, it's your customs, it's your heritage.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You know, you're building it the way you want, and hey,
look at your city.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And honestly, in spite of the lack of success with
China doing this, I think there's probably a fair amount
of Hey, let's get these guys up and involved in
world economics and international diplomacy and have them intertwined with
bunches of other countries and it'll drag them into the
modern era much more effectively than browbeating them will.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Anyway, Well, there's zero is there any Are there any
good examples of us trying to build from the ground
up one of these uh, turn one of these citters
around having it work.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Ceruly not in the Middle East?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, it depends, you know, how much involvement over what
period of time you're talking about. And interestingly enough, there
were some pretty good success stories in Africa, but those
of on completely to hell now and you could argue that, well,
that's because they didn't build up the infrastructure. It's like
we're watching the we're doing a bit of a remodel
(10:10):
on our house, and it's been super interesting to see
how they dig the hole for the footings and then
pour the foundation and all the rebar and the cinder
blocks and stuff like that. And we've made the point
many times that our system of government, our rights that
we enjoy, our constitution are built on the concrete and
(10:30):
rebar and cinder blocks of hundreds of years of English
common law, Judeo Christian principles, the rest of it. And
then if you try to build, at the risk of
belaboring the metaphor, if you try to build the house
of that sort of thing on sand, it's not going
to work. And so Trump is saying, y'all build your
(10:53):
foundations the way you want and then let's do business.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So you think JD.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Vance had a hand in that whole speech, both hands.
It was completely It's a complete rejection of George Bush's
ideas of nation building, and it's a rejection of democratic
(11:17):
presidents with their coming in there with we'll give you money,
but here's the way we think you should live.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's a complete rejection of that too.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, I'm still super for the record, I'm super uncomfortable
with the fact that Cutter, for instance, is trying to
buy influence in America hundreds of billions of dollars, perverting
our colleges, having them become just vipers nests of Islamism,
anti Israel rhetoric, the rest of it. There are huge
(11:46):
supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood on Islamist organization that would
like Sharia law to conquer the entire earth, and they're
not spending hundreds of billions of dollars backing that because
they don't believe it or don't.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Agree with it.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
But there are those things we don't have to let
them do that. We can let them build their big,
gleaming city. We don't have to let them, you know,
influence our colleges.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Well right now, well right, yeah, for instance, that's not
gonna happen, but more on that later. Uh yeah, Well
the argument would be, well, we don't want to participate
in enriching them, so they have even more finances to
back terrorism. M But you know, I'm if JD. Vans
(12:27):
were to say to me, dude, that'll go away of
its own. That's what I think on a cord. It's
not a stupid argument. I'm not sure I agree with it,
but it's it's worth considering.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
They play, they beat, They more than play footsie with
the terrorists, no doubt about it. But I don't think
MBS his goal in life is not to establish a
Muslim caliphate.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
No, I don't think so. No, not to be starving
poor when the oil runs out. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Anyway, I thought that was damned interesting and got zero attention, zero,
no coverage whatsoever. And he talked quite a bit about
becoming friends with a Ryan again and how we don't
have to be enemies and all that. Different topic, different name.
As they screamed toward getting a bond a bomb. George
(13:18):
Biden did not recognize George Clooney. Breaking news among other things,
George Biden, Joe Biden, Let me read it again. Take
Joe Biden did not recognize George Clooney.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
What breaking news? Among other things? Coming up? Stay toue.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I'm tired of dumb movies. I want to talk about
that later. Dumb movies. Not this is not a place
for them, but I'm tired of dumb movies. By the way,
breaking news, HBO max Max is changing its name back
to HBO Max.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Oh this changes everything, all right?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Fine, Speaking of stupid stories, This was sent along by
alert listener William. I think this has to do with
the UK. But if you're a pilot you may know this.
The world has two hundred and eighty thousand aviation GPS
waypoints that have a code assigned to them. It's part
of the navigation process. And apparently I think this is
(14:20):
in the UK, air traffic controllers are refusing to use
potentially offensive route names and are forcing the regulator to
rename them. These are random five letter codes that were
assigned and now in the twenty first century the air
(14:41):
twenty twenty five, some of them are seen as offensive
and the air traffic controllers just don't even want to
say them. This is so childish and stupid. Here are
the five most offensive ones that need to be renamed.
Pik e y pike it's an offensive, uh racial slur
(15:03):
referring to roma gypsies so called Irish travelers. Others include
ak knob U t I t I, which I guess
is pronounced to you titty, and ratpoo r A t
p O, and also coxp CO x p E.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I don't particularly like that name. That second one, who's
out to rub me as an activity or a name
for a GPS thing. No, no, no, let's stick with
the topic here. These are way points, navigation waypoints. Yeare
are U B M I.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Pikey's going to be renamed Vaxima. Oh that's that's like
forcing vaccines. Donald throats COXP will now be far Joe.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Okay, seriously, you people got nothing more important to worry about.
All the problems in the world. All that is is
all the hunger, all everything, and this is your cost.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Right Somewhere in there is that whole narcissism of small
differences thing or something.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, or the princess and the pe idea that look,
look at me, how sensitive and enlightened I am.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I'm bothered by old COXP every time. I never every
time I try to fly through Britain, somebody says Coxpe
to me, and I'm tired of it. Obscene.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
We do need a world We need a world war
or a great depression to get us out of this.
Although we thought the like a worldwide pandemic might fix it,
and it didn't know in certain some way that made
it worse.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, things worse. That's disappointing.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
On the other hand, you got medical science forging ahead.
You need a kidney, you can't get one, borrow one
from your neighborhood. Pig pig kidneys. There's a pig borrowing
borrow one familiar with them, borrow.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
One like you'll return it when you're done with it,
and from your neighborhood pig which is not exactly a thing,
depending on your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I was just trying to be I don't know lyrical anyway.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, but that is a major medical breakthrough, and we'll
have a little news on that, among other things on
the way.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Stay here, Armstrong and.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Getty observing this ultrasund that is an ultrasound at a
pig kidney inside Tim, Is there anything in there that
makes it clear that it's a pig kidney?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
No, exactly like a humor one.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
And not only does it look like one eight weeks postoperatively,
it's acting like one.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
The level of kidney function is as good as we
would expect from a human kidney transplant.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Holy cow, nice job, pig kidney.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
So, kidneys is one of the big ones, because why
do your kidneys go south on you? Just happens sometimes.
High blood pressure is one major cost because a liver.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Is often a drinking and drugs thing, right, But kidneys
can just fail on you. Yeah, are some drugs you
pross us through your kidneys. But I don't know much
about it.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Anyway, so you got two of those, you got one liver,
you got two kidneys, my right, so far. And then
if you need a new kidney, somebody who has a
is a match for you, you can have to take
one of their kidneys, because a person can get buy
on one kidney, right, right, But that's always been you
have no kidneys, that's a drag, right, and then you
got to find somebody of the kidney. And sometimes you're
(18:23):
on the list and thinking, man, if I don't get
a kidney, soon, I'm gonna be kidney lists, which you
can't be, and then you'll die. Nobody want to say, yes, Katie,
do you know something about kidneys?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Yeah, I have a kidney disease, and the transplant list
for kidneys is the longest out of all of the organs.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Do you still have both yours? I do?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
They both work for the most part, yes, But if
there are cancers that affect the kidneys, there are all
sorts of things that can hurt them.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, how'd you ruin your kidneys? It's just a like
genetic thing, or it's a genetic thing, gotcha, m And
then but.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
So we've been hearing about this our whole lives, and
now if they could use pig needs, that would eliminate
the whole problem.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I assume, Yeah, unless you're a pig, then it caused
a whole new set of problems. But the point remains,
it's an event. More of doctor Sanjay Gupta's report.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
Now, there is one complication they're watching for very carefully,
something that has unique to zeno transplants.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And think we not only.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Tim maybe all of us.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
If there is some sort of weird or strange virus
in the pig and it gets into the human population
through one of these transplants, might not only affect the patient,
but people around the patient as well.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
In all the studies that we're doing, we're not only
monitoring the patient, but their close context.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
You're right, these stories are always presented from the human
being point of view, and not from the pig's point
of view, in which he would say, Hey, I was
using this.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You show me where I said
this was cool.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It is not cool, by the way, the idea of
some horrendous pig virus spreading to humans.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Doctor Fauci says, what.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It's probably doing experiments in North Korea right now it's
some leaky lab financing that good thing, Biden pardoned. I'll
never forget one more nugget from this story.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
This is really the progress of several Nobel Prize winning discoveries,
everything from Crisper, which is gene editing technology actually taking
genes out of the pig genome adding other genes in
from humans into the pig genome. They also use cloning,
They use IVF, they use transplant immunology. These are just huge,
(20:32):
huge developments in the world of medicine that have all
sort of come together to make this work. But they
basically make the pig genome compatible with humans.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's what they do. Two legs good, four legs bad.
That's where you end up.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Fall in love with her cute little snout, her hooves.
Let me stroke your hooves, my love.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That'd be cool if this becomes a thing of the past,
having to worry about kidneys.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Do they get to vote these half human, half big
well not exactly half. Yes, yeah, I do have to
tell you.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
During that report, when they were giving the guy the
ultrasound to show him the kidney, he he rubbed his
stomach and went, you can feel the little piggy, right,
there a little cringey.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's very cringey. And do you every time you eat
like bacon, do you kind of just like not up
to heaven a little bit, kind of a salute.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Like a little toast for the homieses Or do you
like vomit it because you're you know, you're rejected?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, kind of a right, yeah, it's you, right pigabilis anyway, So.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Well, the doctor that puts your pig kidney in you
have been the most qualified person they could get at
UCLA or did they just fit the racial quotas that
they wanted. This is going on at UCLA Medical School,
one of the most you know, prestigious medical schools in
the entire world. They're clearly was clearly continuing to use
(21:54):
race and admissions. I mean, there's just no getting around
at whatsoever in the lawsuit going on right now, and
it's against the Asians because they just there's too many
Asian kids that are super smart and can qualify for
the school and not enough Black kids and they don't.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Like that result. So what do you do? You discriminate
by race?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I mean, you the lefties, you discriminate by race to
try to fix the problem, which is just nuts.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Right right.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
UCLA Medical is unforgivably woke. A new story emerges every week.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Lawsuit brought on behalf of students denied admissions since twenty twenty.
According to the complaint, UCLA will routinely admit black applicants
with below average GPA and MCAT scores. In twenty twenty three,
Asians where forty one percent of the total applicants and
only twenty eight percent of the people that graduated. Black
(22:48):
applicants made up eight percent of the applicants, but fourteen
percent of the graduates.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, so at much lower scores. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Preferences have been outlawed in California since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Even in California.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
We voted that now making decisions based on racist racists,
we ain't gonna do that, even in California.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But of course, the enlightened universities find their way around it. Right.
And here's an idea, Black America.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
We just keep you know, growing school choice and all
the other things that will actually improve education and educational
outcomes for black kids, so that every damn a black
man or woman who graduates from a medical school, everybody
will know they're one hundred percent qualified, wouldn't and there
will never be any whispers about, you know, diversity hires
(23:40):
or DEI doctors, or wouldn't that be great? And yet
the progressives are the ones who prevent that.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Justice.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Roberts wrote in the student's prefer admissions case that racial
preferences cannot be reconciled with the Constitution's equal protection clause
and that a student must be traded based on his
or her experience as an individual, not.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
On the basis of race. Obs would be my response,
as a known right.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Obs It's amazing how hard it is to kill off
this kind of racism.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Well, they do it with the approval of their own consciences.
They are utterly convinced that they are doing the right
thing by pushing some people down to elevate others.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's the hubris of it has always amazed me.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You think so highly of yourself, your judgments, your morals
that you can wield the awful, awful tool of racial
discrimination to get the outcome that you say is appropriate.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Sickening you people sicken me, And and god, dang it,
this is and I almost said a very nasty thing.
I'm glad I didn't part of me whisch is aa
anyway you're conflicted on this, I am.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Thank you for summarizing what really blanking pisses me off
is that these same people are putting the band aid
of Look, they're not really qualified, and we really didn't
educate them at government schools, but let's go ahead and
shove them into these upper tier colleges and medical schools
or whatever, and then pretend like they're qualified.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You are making it impossible.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
To actually reform schools for the little kids when they're
young and idealistic and want to learn. I'm talking about
your black kids and whatever kids of whatever race you're
talking about. You with your let's just go ahead and
coout out to the teachers' unions, then elevate them artificially
when they hit college. You are making it impossible to
do the real work to improve these people's lives. You
(25:47):
hypocritical self regarding bastards.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I hate you. You want hate speech? There, it is?
I hate you.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
So these are their kidneys. They are actually taken just
out of a regular pig. It's not one of those.
They're growing a pig valve and a Petri dish or something.
I don't actually know that.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I mean, the guy mentioned the many, many incredible technologies
that grow in go into getting a very different I mean,
it's not a typical. You can't like go down to
your local hog farm steal a kidney and have it
stuffed in you.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
These are incredibly advanced. Oh so it's not just a
railery run of the mill orval the pig kidney. No,
were you listening, idn't understand. So they had to ease
the crisper and everything else to bring this kidney around.
There you go, yep, among other things. Yeah, and what
(26:45):
is it with the pig? Why the pig.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
For instance? Yeah, the monkey, which is genetically very similar. Certainly,
apes are certain to several people. I know, I uh
a fair point. I know that I've heard this for
years and years and years that pigs have a number
of genetic similarities to us that make them compatible.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I don't know why. But skin, I think is another one.
And uh, porksretail.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I'm not sure you're taking this seriously, but yeah, for
some reason that I'm sure a geneticist could explain, pigs
are compatible with humans.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
There you go, and delicious, I'll just take the word
for it. Oh cool, that's all good.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So speaking of Hogs, David Hogg is a giant pain
in the ass and he's causing real problems in the
Democratic Party and I'm enjoying it very much.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No kidding. They so want to get rid of them,
but they don't like the way it will look.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Have you heard their new plot for how they're going
to get rid of them, and how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's pretty funny. Oh okay, I'll bring that to you
in a seconds. So that's coming up among other things
to hear.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
But I think what I'm doing that's different from before,
as I'm challenging the status quote in a direct way
and head on, and that really scares people. But frankly,
I think right now nobody should be comfortable when our
country is in a moment of crisis, and I think
that there is far too much comfortability across the board,
and we need to make sure that we were electing
the best people possible, and.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
In our own party, that's over a confident, self righteous
prig David Hogg, anti gun radical, AOC style activist in
the Democratic Party who got voted in as the what
is his title vice chair And we'll be getting to
that in a moment. He is the vice chairman of
(28:39):
the DNC, the Democratic National Committee. He has said that
he will primary anybody who doesn't come along with the
radical Young People's agenda, to which Hakim Jeffries replies.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
The vice chair of the DNC, David Hogg, he said today, quote,
too many leaders in the Democratic Party are asleep at
the wheel. You're obviously a leader in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did he mentioned me my name?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
He did not put your leader? Okay, our Democrats to
sleep at the wheel? Does he have a point and
should he stay in his role?
Speaker 11 (29:07):
I think I've been very clear about my perspective on
David Hogg, and I'm going to defend every single member
of the United States House of Representatives and the Democratic talkus.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
I think David Hog understands that maybe the older crowd
doesn't understand. He understands like AOC and Marjorie Taylor Green
understand if I can get on enough TV shows or
enough Twitter followers, I can raise money and do whatever
the hell.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I want and everyone knows it. Hog feasting at the
trough of Internet fame. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Yeah, And if he can raise money to his crowd, saying,
let's take on whichever Democratic member of Congress who's kind
of like moderate ish and he wants more of an
AOC style person in there.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
He can raise money and do that and nobody can
stop it. Wallowing in the mud of media approval. I'm
gonna be using his kidney someday. So here's the deal.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
He's pissed off all the old hands and leaders in
the Democratic Party and they're sick of him and they
want to.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Get rid of him.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
So just three months ago he was elected to vice chair. Yeah,
vice chair three months ago.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Well, now they're saying, oh, there was a procedural flaw
that made it harder for a woman to be elected. Yes,
let's hold another election. We've fixed that flaw. Now shall
we vote again.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
If you're not familiar with the name or it rings
a bell, his backstory is he was one of the
poor kids that was in the Parkland, Florida school when
the shooter went in and killed so many people, one
of the worst shootings in our nation's history.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And he was a kid.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Then he rose to fame by coming out and being
a very outspoken anti gun sort of person, and the
left loved him, and then they did that thing that
we always complain about that if you were a victim
of some sort of first of all, if you're young,
and if you were a victim of something, we have
to take every opinion you have is hallowed and obviously brilliant.
(31:02):
And they did for so long that he got built
up in a way that now they can't control him, right, right,
and so, and this is the sort of hilarious I
guess plausible denial that you see a fair amount in politics.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
They say, yeah, yeah, we had a procedural flaw that
made it harder for a woman to be elected. So
let's hold another vote and maybe, you know, we'll get
somebody else. And it's absolutely transparent what they're doing. I mean,
it's hilarious that they're even going through the charade. And
yet it will work. They will have the vote, and
they'll heave this young man out on his ear do
(31:37):
you think so? And then he'll probably get a gig
on MSNBC called I don't know, Hogstraw or something, and
he'll go on his merry way, yes, wallowing in the
headlines with David Hogg. That would be the sound for
he is politics.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I was just looking at all these sketches that have
come out of the Diddy trial. We're gonna have an
update on that an hour four. His former girlfriend and
taking the stand again today. They're not allowing TVs in
the or cameras in the courtroom. I go back and
forth on that all the time. This would be a
pretty good TV show, but it probably distorts justice, as
(32:21):
we saw in the oj trial. You know, I'm looking
at some of the drawings. Apparently I can't believe he
actually did this when she took the stand eight months pregnant.
You know the videos out there have you beaten the
crap out of her and dragging her down the hallway
by her hair.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
She's testifying to days long freak golfs. I don't even
know what that means.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
The human body has limits, the attention span of the years,
does huh? Attention span has limits. I mean, you can
only be interested, even in sex for so long. I
just I don't even get what a day's long. I
don't know what's happening there on either end. But he's
like a three day golf trip. You don't play golf
(33:10):
all day or a lot of it, But then do
you go off to dinner and you hang out and
then you play some more golf. Anyway, we'll get some
of our testimony from yesterday where she talked about it
started off as like kind of weird, and I thought
it was weird that he wanted me to have sex
with somebody else, and then it turned into a job
that she hated, and she was just so afraid of
him that she kept going.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
She does point out that she was twenty two years old.
He was about forty twenty two years old, living a
billionaire lifestyle too. It's a lot anyway.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
One of the drawings yesterday is when she walked in
the room, he did that and I've never actually done
this before. I'm going to do it right now for
the first time. That heart hand signal that people do
where they put their hands together.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And make a hoard.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
He did that a heart on his chest to her
when she walked in. That's how much he apparently thinks
he can still manipulate her, or was willing to try.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Wow. He knows his goose is cooked, so he's thought,
you know, what the hell, give it a try. Wow.
I don't know if the jury saw that, if I
saw that as a juror'd you that is weird?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Dude? Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't be sending signals
to witnesses. Yeah, I would not like that, is a jiroor.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
The argument that they're making, which is what you've said
for several days now, is yeah, domestic violence. There's a
lot of domestic violence in the world. Unfortunately, you don't
go to prison for the rest of your life for
domestic violence.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
You can eventually, but uh.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
You know, sex that other people don't think is appropriate,
You don't go to jail for the rest of your
life for that either, if it's consensual. Because he's being
accused of all kinds of things that they got to
prove that he was trafficking in a variety of things.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
And I have a feeling much less uh, excuse me,
I had to sneeze much less dramatic. Oh no, oh
my gosh, my allergies with allergies all of a sudden,
all of a sudden. Yeah, you haven't got my whooping cough,
have you? I certainly hope not. What was I saying
as as a oh much less quote unquote sexy experts
(35:13):
are going to testify as to the transfer of money
and the realities, sex trafficking laws and stuff like that,
and that's going to drive home the case. But next hour,
Trump is not going to take that plane from Qatar.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Will he explain that, among other things, hope you can
hang around Armstrong and Getty

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
