Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and he.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Armsdrong live from studio to see that's right, see see
senor he dimly let room.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Do you put them the bowels at the Armstrong.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
And Getting communications compound? And Hey, y'all today we're under
the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I don't know, so many interesting topics and then controversies
and people in the news.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Do you have a nominee who would be the general manager?
I guess putin Hey, I am so into this story.
Read both the op ed, the editorial board pieces today
New York Post and Wall Street Journal, which are for
big giant publications as uh, Trump leaning as you're gonna get,
and both of them like, what the hell are you
(01:12):
talking about? With this whole We've negotiated, Uh, we've we've
brought together a deal, We've pressured both sides.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You have what is easier to deal with than Ukraine?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
What is Pulan asked up at all? Nothing publicly, Certainly,
I'm flum mixed. I'm really completely confused, and I'm surprised
the Secretary of State Rubio, who once co sponsored a
bill in the Senate he wanted a law that the
United States would never allow Ukraine to give up crimea.
(01:51):
He wanted that to be a law, and it never
went anywhere because I'd be kind of a wacky law.
But now he's part of this deal where You's got
to give up everything. Russia has to give up nothing,
so he can call this over. And as the Wall
Street Journal says their editorial board, mister Trump's problems have
only begun once he signals to the world that, hey,
(02:13):
you can take land now and the United States won't
stop you.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, wars of conquest are on. I have a feeling
when Marco goes home to old Lady RUBIOI he says
to her, Look, I'm pushing, but I can only push
so far.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I work for the guy, I think. So that's Priusy.
He's a savvy operator. He knows who he is, he
knows where he is. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
At some point, though, I think your your your strong beliefs,
you'd have you'd I don't know that's.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I don't think it's out of the question that he
makes some big grand gesture at some point resigning or
making a public statement. Yeah, I don't think it's likely,
but it's certainly within the realm.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Oh In addition to the Wall Street Journal, in the
New York Post a brit Hume on Fox yesterday. He's
their senior political report and he was like, I don't
even understand what they're talking about here.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I think the team JD Vance would say, well, y'all
are older traditional conservatives and you see the world in
a neo Kanish projecting American power all over the globe.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Way, it's a different world now, wake up? Is that
neocon to?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, that's what they would call us, But no, no,
that's just an epithet. It's silly. It's like you're a fascist.
But you know that's the pro people around the political spectrum.
Jack as one of the problems with history and world
events as we you know, we've all noticed and as.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You get older, you notice a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
There's always such an overreaction to past mistakes.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
So yeah, getting involved in Iraq and trying to set
up a democracy was a completely unnecessary and a bad idea.
So then we're gonna go over correct so far that
we're not going to stand up to stopping freaking Russia
from expanding. All right, yeah, yeah, I agree, you're not
(04:12):
even help even being on the side of the UH,
the country that got attacked.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's how much we're overreacting.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Who was Western leaning and friendly and wanting very much
to become part of the world order, in the world
economy in the West.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
It reminds you of a little kid who goes to
I don't know, his brother's baseball game or something.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He gets stung by a bee and.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Says, I'm never going to a game again.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
No, No, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
We just need to be better at not getting stung
by bees. We need to not try to install Jeffersonian
democracies among Muslim countries, for instance. But yes, we can
stand against those who would completely disrupt the world order,
the US imposed world order or US supervised anyway world order,
which has brought so much peace and prosperity to mankind.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's not like this is necessarily so.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Chaos and ugliness and bloodletting is necessarily so unless somebody
does something to prevent it. I just and that is
the great and look, I can take criticism.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
My point of view. I take it all day long,
and it's fine. I enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But y'all's problem is you have no concept of how
much you take for granted. Yeah, and when it's gone,
they'll be no clawing it back. Maybe in sixty seventy
five years. Maybe The part I guess I don't get
is because you know, I get the texts. A lot
(05:42):
of you don't want to be involved in helping Ukraine
or whatever. But you could make the argument, even though
I wouldn't agree with it, you could at least make
the argument, Look, that's not you know, it's a regional conflict.
It's not our deal sucks for Ukraine. But why do
you have to say nice things about Putin and bad
things about Zelensky and act like U Crane started it?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I mean, why do you have to do all that?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It's because their original argument is weak, so they have
to come up with bolsters that don't stand up scrutiny.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The original argument being what.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
That it's original conflict and it has nothing to do
with with us and ours a conquest or fine in Europe.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They've never led to anything bad.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well, there are a lot of fair number of conservative
publications and outlets that don't understand this. But the Trump
some of the Trump crowd would say that they're like
you said, they're neo cons that got us into other
bad things.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And for the record, I just want to I don't
want to come off as overly strident. I'm not saying
that people y'all who are of that more Jdvancian point
of view are stupid or that you don't have any
you know, reasonable argument at all. I see what you're saying,
and they're is truth to what you're saying, you know,
(07:02):
whether it's the corruption in Ukraine or you know, we
can't continue to stand astride the globe like a colossus.
It's too expensive, it's too complicated, the world has changed,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I'm willing to hear that point of view. I just
think you go way too far with it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I keep going back to the leader of Poland who said,
talking about Europe, why do we the five hundred million
need the three hundred million in the United States to
protect us against the one hundred and sixty million of Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean that's a decent point.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yes, yeah, it's because they are weak, flabby socialist phonies mostly,
but in.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Terms of you know, who's dumber who's not. I feel
like jd Vance is treating me like I'm dumber. You
like your dumb when we'll play the clip later when
he makes here. Look, we've pressured both sides. We presented
a deal that both sides should be happy with.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What what are you talking?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
The country that's snatched up thirty percent of its neighbor
has been more of a pleasure to deal with than
the country that's getting slaughtered.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
They seem to be all uppity and uncooperative. Yeah, I'm
astonished by that.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I don't know what to make Yeah, not being okay
with tens of thousands of your children being abducted in
your country and taking somewhere else to be trained to
be Russian loving soldiers. I mean, they've been very unfriendly
in the negotiations and Russia and Russia bombed keep the
Capitol last night, killing nine people.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
In the hundred. Yeah, it's just I don't know. I
don't get it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I look forward to when the books are written about
what is going on here. I don't look forward to
how this is going to play out. If it turns
out that, Yeah, you do, get to check it. I mean,
how in the world is the message not to China,
because it'd be harder to stop China from taking Taiwan
than it would be for us to help Ukraine. Oh yeah,
(08:55):
so I just feel like it's just a it's like
sending a candy gram to President She you take Taiwan.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
We ain't gonta do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean, come on, let's be really in various disputed
islands and maybe churn to the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, well, you know it's a regional conflicts. Yeah, I agree,
and then we have.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Never ending chaos and conquest. But you know, we'll all
find out together. Jack, as I'm fond of saying, are.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You now okay?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, let's start the show. Officially, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Joe Getty on this it is Thursday. As it's still
April April to twenty fourth to your twenty twenty five
or Armstrong, you getting we.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Approve of this program? You know, it just occurred to me.
Why I say that as much as I do. It's funny.
I've had a like two and a half seconds of
self examination here, not my monthly self examination, which is
a good idea. Fellas in the shower. But just thinking
about it, I don't at this point in my life,
in our career, feel a desperate need to quote unquote
(09:57):
win the argument to butter on and on and on
about why I'm right or you're right or we're right
or whatever, because we're.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
All going to find out together.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
And I guess, having had the advantage of a few
years on the planet, I it'll come. This too shall pass,
and that too will appear, and then we can talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Well anyway, just wait and see.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
All right, let's beget officially now according to FCC rules
and regulations by Gully, we have a show to do,
and we're going to do it at mark.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Just look at CNN's Fear and Greed Index. We're in
fear territory right now. And I bring that up only
because for the past several weeks we've been in extreme fear.
We haven't been in the fear space since March twenty seventh.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
All the fear space I was afraid of that. Ironically,
the fear and Greed index that a new thing. Did
they make that up?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I shouldn't. I should.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I should get up every morning and check my sloth
and horniness index, where I am.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
My greed never ends. So, oh my god, he's moved
into us the sloth territories. You can see. Yeah, it
hasn't shower, Jim.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
It's three pm, Clare sloth index. To back up one second,
and to get away, and sorry, to get away from
the mirth. The pushback i'd have on your theory of
you'll sit back and it'll happen and all this sort
of stuff. As I do think we have some role
in maybe convincing people that this is a bad idea
to let Russia win, and there'll be some political pressure
(11:35):
for Trump not to allow that.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
To happen because he has a political animal at some point. Right.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Well, you notice I showed up today. I mean, and
I'm arguing the point. I just feel like, okay, I've
made the point, made it pretty well.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, we're done here. I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I can't wait to talk about Pride Puppy, the book
that is in the libraries all across the school. I
did quite a deep dive on the book Pride Puppy
last night. It's quite amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We're referencing the Maryland court case that was heard before
the Supreme Court yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
The oral arguments.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I'm sorry it was two days ago, which I listened
to most of yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
It is the gender bending madness in doctrination in a
radical gender theory for kids as young as three and
four years old at a Maryland school district. Who is
claiming there's no opt out for parents for this it's
too important?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Good God, the sickness. Yeah, a lot of good stuff
to talk about today. Katie's headlines on the way, hope
you can stay here. I want a national referendum on
drag queens. It's the most confusing aspect of the whole thing.
To me, I don't understand. I feel like this arrived
(12:47):
like a meteor from space and landed all of a
sudden and just drag queens were everywhere, and I was
supposed to react like, oh yeah, drag queens have always
been a part of all of our lives and education
and parades and everything you do, it always includes drag queen.
What I would be delighted to explain to you how
(13:09):
that particular trojan horse was used to infiltrate to normal
America with a fairly innocent and silly tradition in gay culture.
But they realized, Hey, people laugh and smile at this,
and it and it blurs the line between the genders,
which is radical gender theory. Anyway, let's use this. They
(13:31):
said it worked.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Joe next album title Drag Queen Meteor.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, that's a good one. That's how the cover art
is going to be a shell a. I could design
it in like zero point five seconds. I wish Freddie
Mercury was still alive to sing it. Well, don't we
All all right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Katie starting with ABC News, Trump administration weighing exceptions for some.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Chinese auto parts.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Oh my god, the poll numbers on the tariffs and
the economy are nightmarage, including among Republicans. Yeah, there's a
new pull out, a heavyweight that's quite notable.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We'll talk about it.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Have you seen anybody ever go through the like the
exceptions list that you'd have to come up with for
the tariffs, Like the parts, there's something like one point
two million parts. You'd have to go there writing all
the different cars. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and all
the different I mean, it's just it's it's a ridiculously
(14:34):
long list. Of things you'd have to make exceptions for
if you're going to start down that road, right, and
if you have a water pump for four different models
of cars, say, for instance, each one of those water
pumps is going to have a different number of the
dozen or so parts it takes make them from different
countries and different teriff rates and stuff. Logistically, it would
be till the end of time to come up with
a system that made sense.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
From the Guardian, Trump signs executive orders cracking down on
diversity and inclusion at US universities.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Oh good.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I'm not sure how enforceable and implementable all this is,
but I want to talk about that later, especially going
after the accreditation agencies, which are a real engine of
the neo Marxism.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh really, I didn't know that. Yes.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
From Fox News, The New Mexico judge resigns after alleged
TDA member arrested at his home.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
I saw that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Ooh, he's in pictures at family dinner. Really bizarre.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Whoa, whoa. So they were hanging out. It's not like
the guy came to threaten them.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
No, they were like hanging out and he was living with.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
One of his daughters. Yeah. Oh, did the judge know
that would appear? So he's in the pictures with him,
But did he know the guy was in the game?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Boy?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
If I didn't, I wouldn't resign. I'd say, seemed like
a nice young man. You know, he didn't do a
throw background check on my daughter's boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
From the sun.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Fury from mourners at Pope Francis is lying in state
over ghoules snapping selfies next to the open casket.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I want to talk about that.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I watched some of the news coverage last night and
all the crying and the interviews and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
If I can take a selfie with a live pope,
is it bad to take one with a deceased pope?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I do. I'm not taking a selfie with a dead body.
That's weird. The go ahead, Kate.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
USA.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Today more couples are living separately. They're called a partners. Harry,
I love a catchy name. I just vomited a little bit. Partners, Okay,
I want to talk about that later too.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
And finally, the Babylon Bee Easter Bunny dead after meeting
with jd Vance.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh my god, Wow, that's scarlous I don't know. I'm
there with a historical figure. I'm in the frame, he's
in the frame. He's passed recently. I click, why not?
That's weird, man. Yeah, you're a cream what aol? According
to the school partners you said, Katie, Huh. We'll talk
(17:21):
about that later, among many other things. And I don't
know that i'd ever heard of the book Pride Puppy before,
but I didn't do it deep since the Supreme Court
is arguing about it and whether or not it being
in the school or you kicking it out of the
school or whatever, all those different topics, we'll we'll talk
about Pride Puppy late later, because, like I got a
(17:43):
good example of a act of a s group standing
up for the book for three year olds and a
guy pointing out why you don't want your kid being
told they have to read Pride Puppy at school. So
we'll get into that later.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
What are we talking about. We are talking about out
a case before the Supreme Court. The oral arguments were
two days ago. Montgomery County public schools involved with the
case macmood versus Taylor. Parents of a handful of religious
stripes are saying, hey, not only are these books, and
there are a number of them and lesson plans in
(18:17):
the schools. They're being taught fairly aggressively to the children,
and they are all what we call gender benning menace.
They're all radical, radical gender theory being taught to indoctrinating
kids as young as three years old.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
They're starting in preschool with, for.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Instance, a word search puzzle for your four year old
given uh, intersex flag, one of the words drag, queen, underwear, leather,
among other terms, and a bunch of different books and
lesson plans.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And the question is, well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
So at the back of Pride and we'll get into
this more when we specifically just look at that one book.
But in Pride Puppy, they have a glossary in the
back and this is the teach reading what you don't
want little kids to read. And they go through all
the letters and for each letter they have a word
and for like, you know, k kites, kiss, drag king.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I mean here words and start with the k is
slide and drag king. Yeah, it is so so blatant.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I listened to the oral arguments for a long time
yesterday didn't quite finish it, but it was so interesting.
One of the points that one of the conservative justices made,
and we'll get to some of the audio in just
a second, was that this is not well, I'm sorry
I didn't finish. The parents are just asking for an
(19:43):
opt out. They're just saying, you got to tell us
you're teaching this stuff and let us opt out. Like
other sex education stuff, as sex education has gone from
sperm and egg testes and ovaries through the years to
how to please your partner, to hear the different kinds
of sex and how to do it here the different
there kinds of people who like to have sex and
how to do it, and just the you can be
(20:04):
a girl if you decide you're a girl stuff, the
radical gender theory. And so the parents are just asking, hey,
can we have the same opt out as all this
other stuff, And bizarrely, Montgomery County.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Public Schools is saying no, no opt out for this.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
And one of the justices, and I can't remember if
it was, it may have been Kavanaugh, it was questioning
the government's lawyer because the taxpayers and the you know,
the parents of Montgomery County in Maryland are paying for
these high dollar law firms to go to the Supreme
Court to deny them the chance to get their kid out.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
But anyway, one of the justices, I think it may
have been Kavanaugh, was saying, Hey, I can't help but
notice that a lot of this stuff we're talking about
that's not for sexuality class or biology. This is for
the reading class. So for your reading class, you're reading
about Johnny has two daddies and a pride puppy and
(21:06):
the drag queen comes.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
To the wedding. That's your reading assignment. How about run
spot run?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
And the lawyer's like, eh, you know it's you want
to block the kids and the concern. And the liberal
justices are like, well, is a gay teacher not allowed
to show the picture of their spouse?
Speaker 6 (21:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh boy.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Anyway, so that's the case we're talking about. Oh I
just a couple more examples of what's going on here.
I'm a hardcore Now I become hardcore.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Strip it down to the nuts and bolts, reading, writing, arithmetic, science,
nothing freaking else. And you get into the sex stuff,
nothing but the very specifics of you should know where
how babies were and come from? I mean, sperming is
ow egg Like you said nothing past that just because
you can't trust it in the hands of the schools.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
So the booklist is part of a broader initiative focused
on pre K through fifth grade.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Pre K is a joke anyway. All it is is
adding more years of government and doctrination. It has nothing
to do with education.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But the curriculum is titled Building Community with LGBTQ plus
affirming Picture Books for Little Kids. According to slides from
the initiative, which were presented to teachers and obtained by
one news outlet, it's interesting you got to go like
under deep cover and be Woodward and Bernstein to figure
out what your local schools are teaching.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
What does that tell you, friend?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Teachers have been given a certain quota of these books
to use in the classroom, and it can expect that
these lessons be embedded throughout quote as with all curriculum resources,
there's an expectation that teachers utilize these inclusive tests and
lessons with all students.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Got That's what.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Drove me crazy with my son. It's like, how is
Pride Month or whatever showing up in every danks class
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
You're talking about, Because that's that is the neo Marxist theory.
You've got to put it everywhere anyway. I won't give
too much away about Pride Puppy, which Jackie is going
to talk about later, but the curriculum resources include books
such as Pride Puppy, which features illustrated pictures of men
in drag furries and words such as queer and intersectional.
(23:18):
This is for little kids and Born Ready, a story
about a five year old girl named Penelope who decides
that she is really a he and parents are not
allowed to opt out of any of this, which brings
us to some of the audio we wanted to play.
This is one of the liberal justices, Elena Kagan. We'll
(23:39):
start with eighty one.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Michael, I too was struck by these are you know,
young kids picture books and on matters concerning sexuality. I
suspect there are a lot of non religious parents who
were into all that thrilled about this, and then you
you know, add in religion and that's you know, even
(24:02):
more serious.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You know, religion is one of the liberal justices.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, religion's a good fallback for like, you know, having
a legal reason to take on stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But the ain't because of religion that I don't want
this in the school.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Let's go ahead and play Jonathan Turley in the next clip,
then we'll comment.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
There were moments in the debate, Martha that I was
really rather surprised by. I mean, Justices Sodomayor and Jackson
were very aggressive in they're questioning of the parents' council.
But at one point Jackson's sort of you gave a
sort of flippant answer and said, you know, parents don't
have to send their kids here, they just send them elsewhere. Well,
(24:42):
it's not that easy for parents. A lot of parents
can't just send their kids to private school. And the
record in this case one family sold their house so
that their children could go to a private school so
they didn't have to face this type of social agenda.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
So yesterday I sference to a piece written by Ashley Maguire,
who's a parent in that school district. It was published
in National Review, and she points out the very thing
that Turtly just pointed out, that the response to folks
who are sickened by.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
This is go private.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
And she points out that not everyone can afford a
five figure opt out, even if there is one nearby,
and so the result is a kind of socioeconomic religious discrimination,
religious freedom for rich people or Bill Barr said, it's
a constitutional double standard. Public school students are subjected to
militant secular progressivism, which is given the protections of the
(25:35):
Free Exercise Clause, but is not subject to the prohibitions
of the establishment clause, meaning that secular religion and it's
a cult when you get into the radical gender theory
stuff that is forcibly taught in schools, and anybody saying, hey,
this goes against every major religion on earth, it's told
shut up.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, even if you can't afford it. I don't like
that argument. We'll pay a lot of tax money to
have a public school. And so you're going with, hey,
if you know, like this crazy stuff that just showed
up in schools and the vast majority of Americans don't
either know it's there or don't want it there, then
go to private school.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
That argument doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I had a conversation with Alvinymous, legal scholar yesterday. I said,
I texted, I was listening to the Scotis oral arguments
in the case we're discussing Sonya Soda Maoris, making me insane.
I have only a Layman's understanding of the need of
poke holes in council's arguments. But good god, some of
her arguments seem to be in really bad faith, like
a smug a hole trying to win an argument in
(26:34):
a bar.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And I pointed out as a smug a hole. I
have some expertise in the subject.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
And it was posited by Alvin Anonymous that she is
by far the dumbest justice. I don't think she's smart
enough to be on the People's Court, not to mention
the Supreme Court. I like the idea of nailing down
who's the dumbest justice? Yeah, not even close.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I have you know, I have more comments, but I
want to make sure we get to Yeah, we have time,
just real quickly. There was a really interesting point made about,
all right, if we have an opt out for this,
there are all sorts of things that are controversial or
religiously objectionable in schools, and what about if you come
from a racist church in a rational marriage, and where
do you draw the line? And you know, my response was,
(27:20):
and is you show me the case and I'll tell
you whether parents ought to be able to opt out
or not. It's like pornography. I know, when I see it.
But there's an argument to be made that the entire
concept of government schools from the beginning of the progressive
era of the twentieth century, early in the twentieth century
was hey, let's indoctrinate the kids.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, we'll teach them, but let's indoctrinate.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Our friend Tim Sandifer always says that Woodrow Wilson quote
at the ready something to do with the goal is
to separate families from their children, make the children as
different from the parents as possible.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Right, Yeah, that was the content from the beginning. Well,
and the modern progressives have figured that out and they're
exploiting it.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Anyway. I thought this was a great.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Exchange between Justice Gorsuch and the government attorney.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Will skip to eighty five.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Michael, I just want to make sure I understand a
few fact things, and then a law question. What age
do you in Montgomery County teach students normally about human sexuality.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
I think that it begins in either fourth or fifth grade,
the Human Sexuality class, Family Life and Human Sexuality curriculum.
I'm not entirely sure.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
It starts in fourth or fifth grade. I think is
there anything you can point us to in the record.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
On that, I don't think so okay. And second, these
books are being used in English class.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
The division between English class and other things in a
second grade classroom doesn't really exist.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
You're sort of in a room with a teacher. And
sometimes I appreciate that. I went to second grade too, But.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
It's part of the English curriculum that these books are
being used in.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
That's I thought that was.
Speaker 11 (28:59):
Yeah, I'm not fighting the premiss I'm just saying it's.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Not a math class.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
It's it's not the human sexuality class.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
It's it is certainly not the human sexuality class. I'm
just sort of fighting the premise that there's a neat
descision and.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
They're being used in English language instruction at age three.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Some of them.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
So Pride Puppy was the book that was used for
the pre kindergarten curriculum. That's no longer in the curriculum.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
That's the one where they are supposed to look for
the leather and things and bondage things like that.
Speaker 11 (29:27):
It's not bomb site a woman and a leather sex worker. Correct, No,
it's not correct. No, gosh, I read it.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Drag.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
The leather that they're pointing to is a woman in
a leather jacket and one of the words is drag.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Queen in this and they're supposed to look for those.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
It is an option at the end of the book.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Correct, Yeah, okay, and you're you've included these in the
English language curriculum rather than the human sexuality curriculum to
influence students.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Is that fair? That's what the district court found.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
I think to the extent the district court found that
it was to influence. It was to influence them towards
civility then natural consequence of being exposed whatever, but to
influence something in the manner that I just mentioned, Yes, and.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Responding to parents who were concerned. You agree that there
was some intemperate language used.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
I don't know that those were responding to parents who
were concerned. This was after the fact for most of
these comments, and this was in a very public setting
which obviously got heated, and some intemperate convents were used.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
So he's making reference to the fact that teachers and
administrators attacked and docked online anybody who dared object to
this garbage.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I've got many things to say about that. We got
to take a break, but there's so much crap from
that lawyer there.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Guy.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I also think Justice Gorsuch doesn't know drag queens aren't
sex workers.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
But that's all right.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Well yeah, although we'll dig into the book more comment.
I congratulate the lawyer and this is a bright spot.
He apparently does know what a woman is because he
makes reference to women repeatedly, so I congratulate him. He
must be a biologist, right, because that's what we've been told.
Word from our friends that simply save home security. Did
you know FBI crime data shows more break ins occurred
(31:19):
during daylight outps than under the cloak night, which is
when I think most of us think about it. Protect
your home with simply saves proactive security that helps stop
those threats before they bust in your door.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I'm working from home.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I got the sign right outside the front door of
my house right here, and when I drive away in
a broad daylight during the day, I like seeing that
sign that lets people know. I got the cameras, I
got the censors, I got the whole thing, and the
active guard protection that simply say, provides so that they'll
catch people before they break into your home.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yes, active guard outdoor protection is AI powered cameras back
by live professional monitoring agents who monitor your property to
take suspicious activity.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Then they can.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Actually talk to them. Hey, scumbag, get out of here,
call the cops, or flip on your life. Love it
and as great as this is, monitoring plans start affordably
around a buck a day, no long term contracts or
cancelation fees.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
They earn your business every day. Visit simply safe dot
com slash armstrong. Get fifty percent off a new system
with a professional monitoring plan in your first month is free.
That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe
like simply say a couple of comments on the arguments
here we got mail bag on the way. I'd be
interested in what you think about any of this text
line four one nine.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Five kftc.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Strong. I came across something sort of thing that I
usually think is stupid and hate some psychologists therapist person
with like the the three things that are most damaging
to a marriage or you can't overcome or blah blah
blah blah. Those things are almost always stupid and horrible.
This one was really really good and I can't wait
(32:50):
to do it later uh and discuss it.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So maybe an hour or two. Sometime we'll get to that.
All sorts of great stuff to do.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
The war against the college accreditors part of the war
against de EI will tell you why that's such a
good idea. Right now, it's your freedom loving quote of
the day, sent along by Alert listener Rich. Well done, Rich.
He's from American journalist Walter Lippman back in the day.
Quote when all men think alike, no one thinks very much.
(33:17):
Don't run with the herd, folks, move be an independent thinker.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Huh. Sometimes the herd's right though, about a lot of things.
You want to be a cow be a cow.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
I'm over I'm an eagle over here, mister cow mailbags,
running with.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
The herd, that's not that's not the herd.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
That's that you're misunderstanding the metaphors, sir, damn cow.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Drop us a note mailbag at Armstrong Egeeddy dot com.
We don't have a lot of time, so I've selected
these just for entertainment value.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I think they're well written.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Mikey Luke writes, Guys, yesterday you mentioned that life could
be possible on other planets around the universe due to
the detection of gases in the universe.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I looked it up.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Those are greenhouse gases. It's bad enough that the earths
will be underwater in five years. Now I gotta worry
about galactic global warming. Guess I better glue my hand
to something in protest.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's funny. Blew away, my friend, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Well, we were talking in context of that Kilmar Obrego
Garcia bloke, the Maryland father. It was a gang member
who was shipped off to Al Salvador, and maybe it
was a mistake. Maybe we got to bring it back
and give him a couple of hearings then ship him
off again. But anyway, his family had a papoosa business,
and we confessed we had no idea what that was. Well,
jessin Wiley, Texas writes, guys, you must eat one. I'm
(34:41):
not surprised about Jack because he doesn't try anything, but.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Joe, you man of the world. It's the national food
of El Salvator for a reason. It's delightful.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
It's a soft, savory pancake like food, reminiscent of a
very soft corn bed or tortilla hybrid. They come with
many different fillings. Think about how aut of Takaia. You
can choose your meat.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
FRIENDA Gary texted yesterday, there's a good one at the Woodland,
the town right next to He said that great vat
over there, so I will check that out.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
A nice simple cheese papoosa can be quite good stuffed
with saucy shredded pork. Total mouthgasm. If you haven't I
haven't found done him. Try a papoosa. You will be
filled with his love. I'm not giving a thumbs up
to the term mouthgasm.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I do not like that. Not that is no good.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Let's see uh and this here's my favorite part. You
have to get them from a papoosay and a crappy
shopping center. The best ones are found in so so neighborhoods.
Not will not like I will die if I get
out of my cart neighborhoods. More like a don't leave
your tools in the back of your truck at the
hardware store neighborhood. Yes, sad neighborhoods. So just a sad
(35:48):
shopping mall. I can picture it. You got a karate
store and then a fern sign. But that used to
be a yogurt shop.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
That kind of place.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Let's where you go at least one broken window. Yeah,
not a terrifying neighborhood, just a don't leave your tools
in the back of the truck name.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
And then well, we've got a commentary on the new
bands of various dies and additives and that sort of stuff,
which is an interesting topic which I would like to discuss.
We are out of time and we'll have to reconvene
next hour.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Luckily we do four hours.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
If you miss a segment or hour, you can get
the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Those tips for
keeping your marriage again together, among other things on the
list Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and he.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Armsdrong live from studio to see that's right, see see
senor he dimly let room.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Do you put them the bowels at the Armstrong.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
And Getting communications compound? And Hey, y'all today we're under
the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I don't know, so many interesting topics and then controversies
and people in the news.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Do you have a nominee who would be the general manager?
I guess putin Hey, I am so into this story.
Read both the op ed, the editorial board pieces today
New York Post and Wall Street Journal, which are for
big giant publications as uh, Trump leaning as you're gonna get,
and both of them like, what the hell are you
(01:12):
talking about? With this whole We've negotiated, Uh, we've we've
brought together a deal, We've pressured both sides.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You have what is easier to deal with than Ukraine?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
What is Pulan asked up at all? Nothing publicly, Certainly,
I'm flum mixed. I'm really completely confused, and I'm surprised
the Secretary of State Rubio, who once co sponsored a
bill in the Senate he wanted a law that the
United States would never allow Ukraine to give up crimea.
(01:51):
He wanted that to be a law, and it never
went anywhere because I'd be kind of a wacky law.
But now he's part of this deal where You's got
to give up everything. Russia has to give up nothing,
so he can call this over. And as the Wall
Street Journal says their editorial board, mister Trump's problems have
only begun once he signals to the world that, hey,
(02:13):
you can take land now and the United States won't
stop you.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, wars of conquest are on. I have a feeling
when Marco goes home to old Lady RUBIOI he says
to her, Look, I'm pushing, but I can only push
so far.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I work for the guy, I think. So that's Priusy.
He's a savvy operator. He knows who he is, he
knows where he is. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
At some point, though, I think your your your strong beliefs,
you'd have you'd I don't know that's.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I don't think it's out of the question that he
makes some big grand gesture at some point resigning or
making a public statement. Yeah, I don't think it's likely,
but it's certainly within the realm.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Oh In addition to the Wall Street Journal, in the
New York Post a brit Hume on Fox yesterday. He's
their senior political report and he was like, I don't
even understand what they're talking about here.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I think the team JD Vance would say, well, y'all
are older traditional conservatives and you see the world in
a neo Kanish projecting American power all over the globe.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Way, it's a different world now, wake up? Is that
neocon to?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, that's what they would call us, But no, no,
that's just an epithet. It's silly. It's like you're a fascist.
But you know that's the pro people around the political spectrum.
Jack as one of the problems with history and world
events as we you know, we've all noticed and as.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You get older, you notice a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
There's always such an overreaction to past mistakes.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
So yeah, getting involved in Iraq and trying to set
up a democracy was a completely unnecessary and a bad idea.
So then we're gonna go over correct so far that
we're not going to stand up to stopping freaking Russia
from expanding. All right, yeah, yeah, I agree, you're not
(04:12):
even help even being on the side of the UH,
the country that got attacked.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's how much we're overreacting.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Who was Western leaning and friendly and wanting very much
to become part of the world order, in the world
economy in the West.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
It reminds you of a little kid who goes to
I don't know, his brother's baseball game or something.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He gets stung by a bee and.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Says, I'm never going to a game again.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
No, No, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
We just need to be better at not getting stung
by bees. We need to not try to install Jeffersonian
democracies among Muslim countries, for instance. But yes, we can
stand against those who would completely disrupt the world order,
the US imposed world order or US supervised anyway world order,
which has brought so much peace and prosperity to mankind.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's not like this is necessarily so.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Chaos and ugliness and bloodletting is necessarily so unless somebody
does something to prevent it. I just and that is
the great and look, I can take criticism.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
My point of view. I take it all day long,
and it's fine. I enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But y'all's problem is you have no concept of how
much you take for granted. Yeah, and when it's gone,
they'll be no clawing it back. Maybe in sixty seventy
five years. Maybe The part I guess I don't get
is because you know, I get the texts. A lot
(05:42):
of you don't want to be involved in helping Ukraine
or whatever. But you could make the argument, even though
I wouldn't agree with it, you could at least make
the argument, Look, that's not you know, it's a regional conflict.
It's not our deal sucks for Ukraine. But why do
you have to say nice things about Putin and bad
things about Zelensky and act like U Crane started it?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I mean, why do you have to do all that?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It's because their original argument is weak, so they have
to come up with bolsters that don't stand up scrutiny.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The original argument being what.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
That it's original conflict and it has nothing to do
with with us and ours a conquest or fine in Europe.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They've never led to anything bad.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well, there are a lot of fair number of conservative
publications and outlets that don't understand this. But the Trump
some of the Trump crowd would say that they're like
you said, they're neo cons that got us into other
bad things.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And for the record, I just want to I don't
want to come off as overly strident. I'm not saying
that people y'all who are of that more Jdvancian point
of view are stupid or that you don't have any
you know, reasonable argument at all. I see what you're saying,
and they're is truth to what you're saying, you know,
(07:02):
whether it's the corruption in Ukraine or you know, we
can't continue to stand astride the globe like a colossus.
It's too expensive, it's too complicated, the world has changed,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I'm willing to hear that point of view. I just
think you go way too far with it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I keep going back to the leader of Poland who said,
talking about Europe, why do we the five hundred million
need the three hundred million in the United States to
protect us against the one hundred and sixty million of Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean that's a decent point.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yes, yeah, it's because they are weak, flabby socialist phonies mostly,
but in.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Terms of you know, who's dumber who's not. I feel
like jd Vance is treating me like I'm dumber. You
like your dumb when we'll play the clip later when
he makes here. Look, we've pressured both sides. We presented
a deal that both sides should be happy with.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What what are you talking?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
The country that's snatched up thirty percent of its neighbor
has been more of a pleasure to deal with than
the country that's getting slaughtered.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
They seem to be all uppity and uncooperative. Yeah, I'm
astonished by that.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I don't know what to make Yeah, not being okay
with tens of thousands of your children being abducted in
your country and taking somewhere else to be trained to
be Russian loving soldiers. I mean, they've been very unfriendly
in the negotiations and Russia and Russia bombed keep the
Capitol last night, killing nine people.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
In the hundred. Yeah, it's just I don't know. I
don't get it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I look forward to when the books are written about
what is going on here. I don't look forward to
how this is going to play out. If it turns
out that, Yeah, you do, get to check it. I mean,
how in the world is the message not to China,
because it'd be harder to stop China from taking Taiwan
than it would be for us to help Ukraine. Oh yeah,
(08:55):
so I just feel like it's just a it's like
sending a candy gram to President She you take Taiwan.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
We ain't gonta do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean, come on, let's be really in various disputed
islands and maybe churn to the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, well, you know it's a regional conflicts. Yeah, I agree,
and then we have.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Never ending chaos and conquest. But you know, we'll all
find out together. Jack, as I'm fond of saying, are.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You now okay?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, let's start the show. Officially, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Joe Getty on this it is Thursday. As it's still
April April to twenty fourth to your twenty twenty five
or Armstrong, you getting we.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Approve of this program? You know, it just occurred to me.
Why I say that as much as I do. It's funny.
I've had a like two and a half seconds of
self examination here, not my monthly self examination, which is
a good idea. Fellas in the shower. But just thinking
about it, I don't at this point in my life,
in our career, feel a desperate need to quote unquote
(09:57):
win the argument to butter on and on and on
about why I'm right or you're right or we're right
or whatever, because we're.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
All going to find out together.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
And I guess, having had the advantage of a few
years on the planet, I it'll come. This too shall pass,
and that too will appear, and then we can talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Well anyway, just wait and see.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
All right, let's beget officially now according to FCC rules
and regulations by Gully, we have a show to do,
and we're going to do it at mark.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Just look at CNN's Fear and Greed Index. We're in
fear territory right now. And I bring that up only
because for the past several weeks we've been in extreme fear.
We haven't been in the fear space since March twenty seventh.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
All the fear space I was afraid of that. Ironically,
the fear and Greed index that a new thing. Did
they make that up?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I shouldn't. I should.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I should get up every morning and check my sloth
and horniness index, where I am.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
My greed never ends. So, oh my god, he's moved
into us the sloth territories. You can see. Yeah, it
hasn't shower, Jim.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
It's three pm, Clare sloth index. To back up one second,
and to get away, and sorry, to get away from
the mirth. The pushback i'd have on your theory of
you'll sit back and it'll happen and all this sort
of stuff. As I do think we have some role
in maybe convincing people that this is a bad idea
to let Russia win, and there'll be some political pressure
(11:35):
for Trump not to allow that.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
To happen because he has a political animal at some point. Right.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Well, you notice I showed up today. I mean, and
I'm arguing the point. I just feel like, okay, I've
made the point, made it pretty well.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, we're done here. I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I can't wait to talk about Pride Puppy, the book
that is in the libraries all across the school. I
did quite a deep dive on the book Pride Puppy
last night. It's quite amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We're referencing the Maryland court case that was heard before
the Supreme Court yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
The oral arguments.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I'm sorry it was two days ago, which I listened
to most of yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
It is the gender bending madness in doctrination in a
radical gender theory for kids as young as three and
four years old at a Maryland school district. Who is
claiming there's no opt out for parents for this it's
too important?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Good God, the sickness. Yeah, a lot of good stuff
to talk about today. Katie's headlines on the way, hope
you can stay here. I want a national referendum on
drag queens. It's the most confusing aspect of the whole thing.
To me, I don't understand. I feel like this arrived
(12:47):
like a meteor from space and landed all of a
sudden and just drag queens were everywhere, and I was
supposed to react like, oh yeah, drag queens have always
been a part of all of our lives and education
and parades and everything you do, it always includes drag queen.
What I would be delighted to explain to you how
(13:09):
that particular trojan horse was used to infiltrate to normal
America with a fairly innocent and silly tradition in gay culture.
But they realized, Hey, people laugh and smile at this,
and it and it blurs the line between the genders,
which is radical gender theory. Anyway, let's use this. They
(13:31):
said it worked.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Joe next album title Drag Queen Meteor.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, that's a good one. That's how the cover art
is going to be a shell a. I could design
it in like zero point five seconds. I wish Freddie
Mercury was still alive to sing it. Well, don't we
All all right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Katie starting with ABC News, Trump administration weighing exceptions for some.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Chinese auto parts.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Oh my god, the poll numbers on the tariffs and
the economy are nightmarage, including among Republicans. Yeah, there's a
new pull out, a heavyweight that's quite notable.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We'll talk about it.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Have you seen anybody ever go through the like the
exceptions list that you'd have to come up with for
the tariffs, Like the parts, there's something like one point
two million parts. You'd have to go there writing all
the different cars. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and all
the different I mean, it's just it's it's a ridiculously
(14:34):
long list. Of things you'd have to make exceptions for
if you're going to start down that road, right, and
if you have a water pump for four different models
of cars, say, for instance, each one of those water
pumps is going to have a different number of the
dozen or so parts it takes make them from different
countries and different teriff rates and stuff. Logistically, it would
be till the end of time to come up with
a system that made sense.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
From the Guardian, Trump signs executive orders cracking down on
diversity and inclusion at US universities.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Oh good.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I'm not sure how enforceable and implementable all this is,
but I want to talk about that later, especially going
after the accreditation agencies, which are a real engine of
the neo Marxism.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh really, I didn't know that. Yes.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
From Fox News, The New Mexico judge resigns after alleged
TDA member arrested at his home.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
I saw that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Ooh, he's in pictures at family dinner. Really bizarre.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Whoa, whoa. So they were hanging out. It's not like
the guy came to threaten them.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
No, they were like hanging out and he was living with.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
One of his daughters. Yeah. Oh, did the judge know
that would appear? So he's in the pictures with him,
But did he know the guy was in the game?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Boy?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
If I didn't, I wouldn't resign. I'd say, seemed like
a nice young man. You know, he didn't do a
throw background check on my daughter's boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
From the sun.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Fury from mourners at Pope Francis is lying in state
over ghoules snapping selfies next to the open casket.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I want to talk about that.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I watched some of the news coverage last night and
all the crying and the interviews and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
If I can take a selfie with a live pope,
is it bad to take one with a deceased pope?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I do. I'm not taking a selfie with a dead body.
That's weird. The go ahead, Kate.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
USA.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Today more couples are living separately. They're called a partners. Harry,
I love a catchy name. I just vomited a little bit. Partners, Okay,
I want to talk about that later too.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
And finally, the Babylon Bee Easter Bunny dead after meeting
with jd Vance.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh my god, Wow, that's scarlous I don't know. I'm
there with a historical figure. I'm in the frame, he's
in the frame. He's passed recently. I click, why not?
That's weird, man. Yeah, you're a cream what aol? According
to the school partners you said, Katie, Huh. We'll talk
(17:21):
about that later, among many other things. And I don't
know that i'd ever heard of the book Pride Puppy before,
but I didn't do it deep since the Supreme Court
is arguing about it and whether or not it being
in the school or you kicking it out of the
school or whatever, all those different topics, we'll we'll talk
about Pride Puppy late later, because, like I got a
(17:43):
good example of a act of a s group standing
up for the book for three year olds and a
guy pointing out why you don't want your kid being
told they have to read Pride Puppy at school. So
we'll get into that later.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
What are we talking about. We are talking about out
a case before the Supreme Court. The oral arguments were
two days ago. Montgomery County public schools involved with the
case macmood versus Taylor. Parents of a handful of religious
stripes are saying, hey, not only are these books, and
there are a number of them and lesson plans in
(18:17):
the schools. They're being taught fairly aggressively to the children,
and they are all what we call gender benning menace.
They're all radical, radical gender theory being taught to indoctrinating
kids as young as three years old.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
They're starting in preschool with, for.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Instance, a word search puzzle for your four year old
given uh, intersex flag, one of the words drag, queen, underwear, leather,
among other terms, and a bunch of different books and
lesson plans.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And the question is, well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
So at the back of Pride and we'll get into
this more when we specifically just look at that one book.
But in Pride Puppy, they have a glossary in the
back and this is the teach reading what you don't
want little kids to read. And they go through all
the letters and for each letter they have a word
and for like, you know, k kites, kiss, drag king.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I mean here words and start with the k is
slide and drag king. Yeah, it is so so blatant.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I listened to the oral arguments for a long time
yesterday didn't quite finish it, but it was so interesting.
One of the points that one of the conservative justices made,
and we'll get to some of the audio in just
a second, was that this is not well, I'm sorry
I didn't finish. The parents are just asking for an
(19:43):
opt out. They're just saying, you got to tell us
you're teaching this stuff and let us opt out. Like
other sex education stuff, as sex education has gone from
sperm and egg testes and ovaries through the years to
how to please your partner, to hear the different kinds
of sex and how to do it here the different
there kinds of people who like to have sex and
how to do it, and just the you can be
(20:04):
a girl if you decide you're a girl stuff, the
radical gender theory. And so the parents are just asking, hey,
can we have the same opt out as all this
other stuff, And bizarrely, Montgomery County.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Public Schools is saying no, no opt out for this.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
And one of the justices, and I can't remember if
it was, it may have been Kavanaugh, it was questioning
the government's lawyer because the taxpayers and the you know,
the parents of Montgomery County in Maryland are paying for
these high dollar law firms to go to the Supreme
Court to deny them the chance to get their kid out.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
But anyway, one of the justices, I think it may
have been Kavanaugh, was saying, Hey, I can't help but
notice that a lot of this stuff we're talking about
that's not for sexuality class or biology. This is for
the reading class. So for your reading class, you're reading
about Johnny has two daddies and a pride puppy and
(21:06):
the drag queen comes.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
To the wedding. That's your reading assignment. How about run
spot run?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
And the lawyer's like, eh, you know it's you want
to block the kids and the concern. And the liberal
justices are like, well, is a gay teacher not allowed
to show the picture of their spouse?
Speaker 6 (21:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh boy.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Anyway, so that's the case we're talking about. Oh I
just a couple more examples of what's going on here.
I'm a hardcore Now I become hardcore.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Strip it down to the nuts and bolts, reading, writing, arithmetic, science,
nothing freaking else. And you get into the sex stuff,
nothing but the very specifics of you should know where
how babies were and come from? I mean, sperming is
ow egg Like you said nothing past that just because
you can't trust it in the hands of the schools.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
So the booklist is part of a broader initiative focused
on pre K through fifth grade.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Pre K is a joke anyway. All it is is
adding more years of government and doctrination. It has nothing
to do with education.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But the curriculum is titled Building Community with LGBTQ plus
affirming Picture Books for Little Kids. According to slides from
the initiative, which were presented to teachers and obtained by
one news outlet, it's interesting you got to go like
under deep cover and be Woodward and Bernstein to figure
out what your local schools are teaching.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
What does that tell you, friend?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Teachers have been given a certain quota of these books
to use in the classroom, and it can expect that
these lessons be embedded throughout quote as with all curriculum resources,
there's an expectation that teachers utilize these inclusive tests and
lessons with all students.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Got That's what.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Drove me crazy with my son. It's like, how is
Pride Month or whatever showing up in every danks class
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
You're talking about, Because that's that is the neo Marxist theory.
You've got to put it everywhere anyway. I won't give
too much away about Pride Puppy, which Jackie is going
to talk about later, but the curriculum resources include books
such as Pride Puppy, which features illustrated pictures of men
in drag furries and words such as queer and intersectional.
(23:18):
This is for little kids and Born Ready, a story
about a five year old girl named Penelope who decides
that she is really a he and parents are not
allowed to opt out of any of this, which brings
us to some of the audio we wanted to play.
This is one of the liberal justices, Elena Kagan. We'll
(23:39):
start with eighty one.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Michael, I too was struck by these are you know,
young kids picture books and on matters concerning sexuality. I
suspect there are a lot of non religious parents who
were into all that thrilled about this, and then you
you know, add in religion and that's you know, even
(24:02):
more serious.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You know, religion is one of the liberal justices.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, religion's a good fallback for like, you know, having
a legal reason to take on stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But the ain't because of religion that I don't want
this in the school.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Let's go ahead and play Jonathan Turley in the next clip,
then we'll comment.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
There were moments in the debate, Martha that I was
really rather surprised by. I mean, Justices Sodomayor and Jackson
were very aggressive in they're questioning of the parents' council.
But at one point Jackson's sort of you gave a
sort of flippant answer and said, you know, parents don't
have to send their kids here, they just send them elsewhere. Well,
(24:42):
it's not that easy for parents. A lot of parents
can't just send their kids to private school. And the
record in this case one family sold their house so
that their children could go to a private school so
they didn't have to face this type of social agenda.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
So yesterday I sference to a piece written by Ashley Maguire,
who's a parent in that school district. It was published
in National Review, and she points out the very thing
that Turtly just pointed out, that the response to folks
who are sickened by.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
This is go private.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
And she points out that not everyone can afford a
five figure opt out, even if there is one nearby,
and so the result is a kind of socioeconomic religious discrimination,
religious freedom for rich people or Bill Barr said, it's
a constitutional double standard. Public school students are subjected to
militant secular progressivism, which is given the protections of the
(25:35):
Free Exercise Clause, but is not subject to the prohibitions
of the establishment clause, meaning that secular religion and it's
a cult when you get into the radical gender theory
stuff that is forcibly taught in schools, and anybody saying, hey,
this goes against every major religion on earth, it's told
shut up.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, even if you can't afford it. I don't like
that argument. We'll pay a lot of tax money to
have a public school. And so you're going with, hey,
if you know, like this crazy stuff that just showed
up in schools and the vast majority of Americans don't
either know it's there or don't want it there, then
go to private school.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
That argument doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I had a conversation with Alvinymous, legal scholar yesterday. I said,
I texted, I was listening to the Scotis oral arguments
in the case we're discussing Sonya Soda Maoris, making me insane.
I have only a Layman's understanding of the need of
poke holes in council's arguments. But good god, some of
her arguments seem to be in really bad faith, like
a smug a hole trying to win an argument in
(26:34):
a bar.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And I pointed out as a smug a hole. I
have some expertise in the subject.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
And it was posited by Alvin Anonymous that she is
by far the dumbest justice. I don't think she's smart
enough to be on the People's Court, not to mention
the Supreme Court. I like the idea of nailing down
who's the dumbest justice? Yeah, not even close.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I have you know, I have more comments, but I
want to make sure we get to Yeah, we have time,
just real quickly. There was a really interesting point made about,
all right, if we have an opt out for this,
there are all sorts of things that are controversial or
religiously objectionable in schools, and what about if you come
from a racist church in a rational marriage, and where
do you draw the line? And you know, my response was,
(27:20):
and is you show me the case and I'll tell
you whether parents ought to be able to opt out
or not. It's like pornography. I know, when I see it.
But there's an argument to be made that the entire
concept of government schools from the beginning of the progressive
era of the twentieth century, early in the twentieth century
was hey, let's indoctrinate the kids.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, we'll teach them, but let's indoctrinate.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Our friend Tim Sandifer always says that Woodrow Wilson quote
at the ready something to do with the goal is
to separate families from their children, make the children as
different from the parents as possible.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Right, Yeah, that was the content from the beginning. Well,
and the modern progressives have figured that out and they're
exploiting it.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Anyway. I thought this was a great.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Exchange between Justice Gorsuch and the government attorney.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Will skip to eighty five.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Michael, I just want to make sure I understand a
few fact things, and then a law question. What age
do you in Montgomery County teach students normally about human sexuality.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
I think that it begins in either fourth or fifth grade,
the Human Sexuality class, Family Life and Human Sexuality curriculum.
I'm not entirely sure.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
It starts in fourth or fifth grade. I think is
there anything you can point us to in the record.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
On that, I don't think so okay. And second, these
books are being used in English class.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
The division between English class and other things in a
second grade classroom doesn't really exist.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
You're sort of in a room with a teacher. And
sometimes I appreciate that. I went to second grade too, But.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
It's part of the English curriculum that these books are
being used in.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
That's I thought that was.
Speaker 11 (28:59):
Yeah, I'm not fighting the premiss I'm just saying it's.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Not a math class.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
It's it's not the human sexuality class.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
It's it is certainly not the human sexuality class. I'm
just sort of fighting the premise that there's a neat
descision and.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
They're being used in English language instruction at age three.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Some of them.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
So Pride Puppy was the book that was used for
the pre kindergarten curriculum. That's no longer in the curriculum.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
That's the one where they are supposed to look for
the leather and things and bondage things like that.
Speaker 11 (29:27):
It's not bomb site a woman and a leather sex worker. Correct, No,
it's not correct. No, gosh, I read it.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Drag.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
The leather that they're pointing to is a woman in
a leather jacket and one of the words is drag.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Queen in this and they're supposed to look for those.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
It is an option at the end of the book.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Correct, Yeah, okay, and you're you've included these in the
English language curriculum rather than the human sexuality curriculum to
influence students.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Is that fair? That's what the district court found.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
I think to the extent the district court found that
it was to influence. It was to influence them towards
civility then natural consequence of being exposed whatever, but to
influence something in the manner that I just mentioned, Yes, and.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Responding to parents who were concerned. You agree that there
was some intemperate language used.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
I don't know that those were responding to parents who
were concerned. This was after the fact for most of
these comments, and this was in a very public setting
which obviously got heated, and some intemperate convents were used.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
So he's making reference to the fact that teachers and
administrators attacked and docked online anybody who dared object to
this garbage.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I've got many things to say about that. We got
to take a break, but there's so much crap from
that lawyer there.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Guy.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I also think Justice Gorsuch doesn't know drag queens aren't
sex workers.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
But that's all right.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Well yeah, although we'll dig into the book more comment.
I congratulate the lawyer and this is a bright spot.
He apparently does know what a woman is because he
makes reference to women repeatedly, so I congratulate him. He
must be a biologist, right, because that's what we've been told.
Word from our friends that simply save home security. Did
you know FBI crime data shows more break ins occurred
(31:19):
during daylight outps than under the cloak night, which is
when I think most of us think about it. Protect
your home with simply saves proactive security that helps stop
those threats before they bust in your door.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I'm working from home.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I got the sign right outside the front door of
my house right here, and when I drive away in
a broad daylight during the day, I like seeing that
sign that lets people know. I got the cameras, I
got the censors, I got the whole thing, and the
active guard protection that simply say, provides so that they'll
catch people before they break into your home.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yes, active guard outdoor protection is AI powered cameras back
by live professional monitoring agents who monitor your property to
take suspicious activity.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Then they can.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Actually talk to them. Hey, scumbag, get out of here,
call the cops, or flip on your life. Love it
and as great as this is, monitoring plans start affordably
around a buck a day, no long term contracts or
cancelation fees.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
They earn your business every day. Visit simply safe dot
com slash armstrong. Get fifty percent off a new system
with a professional monitoring plan in your first month is free.
That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe
like simply say a couple of comments on the arguments
here we got mail bag on the way. I'd be
interested in what you think about any of this text
line four one nine.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Five kftc.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Strong. I came across something sort of thing that I
usually think is stupid and hate some psychologists therapist person
with like the the three things that are most damaging
to a marriage or you can't overcome or blah blah
blah blah. Those things are almost always stupid and horrible.
This one was really really good and I can't wait
(32:50):
to do it later uh and discuss it.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So maybe an hour or two. Sometime we'll get to that.
All sorts of great stuff to do.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
The war against the college accreditors part of the war
against de EI will tell you why that's such a
good idea. Right now, it's your freedom loving quote of
the day, sent along by Alert listener Rich. Well done, Rich.
He's from American journalist Walter Lippman back in the day.
Quote when all men think alike, no one thinks very much.
(33:17):
Don't run with the herd, folks, move be an independent thinker.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Huh. Sometimes the herd's right though, about a lot of things.
You want to be a cow be a cow.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
I'm over I'm an eagle over here, mister cow mailbags,
running with.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
The herd, that's not that's not the herd.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
That's that you're misunderstanding the metaphors, sir, damn cow.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Drop us a note mailbag at Armstrong Egeeddy dot com.
We don't have a lot of time, so I've selected
these just for entertainment value.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I think they're well written.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Mikey Luke writes, Guys, yesterday you mentioned that life could
be possible on other planets around the universe due to
the detection of gases in the universe.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I looked it up.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Those are greenhouse gases. It's bad enough that the earths
will be underwater in five years. Now I gotta worry
about galactic global warming. Guess I better glue my hand
to something in protest.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's funny. Blew away, my friend, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Well, we were talking in context of that Kilmar Obrego
Garcia bloke, the Maryland father. It was a gang member
who was shipped off to Al Salvador, and maybe it
was a mistake. Maybe we got to bring it back
and give him a couple of hearings then ship him
off again. But anyway, his family had a papoosa business,
and we confessed we had no idea what that was. Well,

That kind of place.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
