Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Decide and he arm Strong and Eddy.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I think there's a mistake on the bill, but maybe
you can help me out. We got a bill and
then we realized that you guys didn't have our insurance,
so we we sent you the insurance and it looks
like the bill went up.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It went up.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, the first the first bill we got without the
insurance was six hundred bucks and then the second one
was almost thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, so that's that first and was you received. That's
a discount that you received if you're uninsured, right, so
you're not elegi a discount since you are insured.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Can I go back to the discount without the insurance?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
So you're insured, so eligible for the discount if.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I go cancel my insurance, Am I eligible for the discount?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
No? Because we checked eligibility and you do have active
coverage for data service.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh, I needed to cancel it before I got the
service to get the discount.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You're only eligible for the discount if you're uninsured.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, so I'll get cheaper healthcare if I'm uninsured.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
This is a new law of past service started twenty
twenty four AB seven six. And your law, you receive
a discount if you're uninsured.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
At least the guy on the phone, A, you could
understand him, and B he was pretty well versed in
the topic. But yeah, and if you're on a government
quote unquote insurance program, you'll get a discount much lower
than both of those.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
This happens in lots of realms. I've had this happen
with cars. Are you paying cash for this? You're running
through an insurance because if we run it through your insurance,
we're going to charge like nine hundred dollars, But if
you're paying for it, it's like four hundred and fifty dollars.
Because I don't care. You don't care what I charge
your insurance company, and I can just charge them as
much and they don't care because it's part of a
(02:12):
whole scam.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The theme continues that we've enunciated a couple times today
of in particular progressive policies that ignore the basic fundamentals
of human behavior. For instance, where there is third party payment,
there is waste and bloat and apathy. It was back
to It was a Milton Friedman who put it so simply, ineloquently.
(02:37):
You know, there's three four ways of spending money. You
spending money on yourself, you care about value and quality.
You spending money on someone else you care about value
but less about quality. Someone else spending your money blah
blah blah. And by the time you get to somebody
else spending somebody else's money for somebody else, they don't
give half an ass about quality or efficiency, right, And
(03:00):
that is like trillions and trillions of dollars of well,
it is government spending.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Ikram.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So is progressivism actually a mental disorder? Coming up in
a moment or two, we'll have a case study and
we'll let you decide. Wow, a couple of headlines just
worth touching on, and especially because you just won't get
them from the mainstream media. Pete Hegseeth has ordered a
force wide review of existing fitness and grooming standards. We
(03:31):
must remain vigilant in maintaining the standards that enable the
men and women of our military to protect the American
people in our homeland as the world's most lethal and
effective fighting force.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Hegxeth said, just a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Our adversaries are not growing weaker, and our tasks are
not growing less challenging.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
No doubt about that. Fitness, I get, what's the grooming part?
Just a question of discipline. His whole philosophy is we
we're an organizational war fighters. We're not a jobs program,
We're not a bureaucracy. We're war fighters. We've been saying
(04:07):
that for years.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And he goes into a bunch of you know, specific
because for instance, quote because in those ground combat roles,
what is true is that the weight of the rock
on your back does not change. The weight of the
one hundred and fifty five rounds that you have to carry,
does not change the weight of the two forty Bravo
machine gun you might have to carry, does not change.
So why in the world have we changed the fitness standards?
And so whether it is a man or a woman,
(04:29):
they have to meet the same high standards. He said
in front of the Senate.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Obbs it should be, but it's not to a lot
of people.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Uh yeah, he said, look, where is that quote? There
are a couple that I really like that I don't see.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Essentially, he said, we need to be fat, not fit,
or fit not fat.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Our troops will look sharp, not sloppy. We seek only quality,
not quotas. And this steers into was it Hexas or
somebody else wrote a great editorial about how we need
to ret turned to the theme of be all you
can be, be excellent, be better than you thought you
could be, whether it's in the Marines or another service.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Not.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Hey, here's a pretty cush job.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And we hardly turn anybody down, which had become part
of the culture.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Right anyway, I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you see the team track runner who bashed her
opponent's head with a baton?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I did. I didn't follow the story though the runner
was claiming it was an accident. I didn't watch the video.
Is it pretty obvious to you that she hit her
on the head on purpose?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I did not have a shade of doubt in my
mind that she smashed the other girl on the head. Really,
but she the smasher has gone on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How do you think you're gonna get away with that?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And the NAACP has also taken up her cause, which
doesn't help it the.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Race issue in the vaulter.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Both folks involved are black girls, but she says they
strike occurred because she got stuck behind tuck that's the wacky,
and lost her balance after a couple times of hitting her,
My baton got stuck behind her back like this and
it rolled up her back. I lost my balance. When
I pumped my arms again, she got hit. I know
my intentions and I would never hit someone on purpose.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
She moved her head in front of my baton while
I was swinging it to get a bee away from me.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I have an odd way of running. It includes swinging
of my baton into the next lane. And then she
cites online threats and insults. That's irrelevant. I'm sorry to
hear that happen, but that's irrelevant to your guilt or not.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Who are you nut jobs that everybody that makes the
news you figure out how to reach them and threaten them.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Who are you people? Weak trolls? Plays? Build something in
your life? Moving along? Oh, she's been charged with AsSalt
and battery, but how she suggize it?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So they're running the relay, she gets a baton, she
hits the other chick in the head. Does she go down? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, it goes down hard cushion possible skull fraction.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's quite the It looks like a
beating to me. But Trump borders are Tom Holman ventured
to Albany, the capital of New York, Wednesday, to stand
with state Republicans and to blast Democrats for what he
says there was their pro illegal immigration policies. Homan criticized
the governor, Kathy Hokeel and state Democrats for interfering with
(07:18):
federal immigration enforcement, pointing out that it was flouting the law,
it was dangerous to law enforcement, and they're bad Americans.
In short, So Homan on the warpath and I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We're on in Buffalo now.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I noticed we've gained some Twitter followers recently, and I
was just kind of going through the list and at
least one person from Buffalo who obviously had started listening.
Thank you, sir and joined our Twitter following. Awesome love
upstate New York.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I do spend a lot of time there as a
kid anyway. Oh, speaking of immigration, the census shows that
Joe Biden inflated the foreign population of the United States
sixteen percent, with eight point three million people in four years.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
We have the highest percentage of foreign born people we've
ever had in the nation's history, and nobody voted for that.
Nobody ran on it, and nobody voted for it. Correct,
and that something.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
The record breaking inflow is carefully engineered by President Joe
Biden's pro migration to borders are Alejandro waste of skin majorcis.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
According to uh.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Neil Monroe at Bright Bart and I agree with them,
the business backed Cuban born progressive opened many doors in
the US borders to a flood of legal, illegal, and
quasi legal migrants, while Democrats in Congress funded the inflow
eight point three million people in four years, larger than
the growth in the preceding twelve years.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
One. I think, to be fair, a lot of big
agriculture or hotel chains or whatever that are probably Republicans.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We're okay with this also, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, as they write in the right part, the
business backed pro rampant immigration may orchis I think that
is accurately.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
One of the more astounding things that's happened in my life.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Though.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Seriously, you changed the population drastically without anybody running for
that for office anywhere, right, and nobody voting for it.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Which significantly changes the culture of the country, and those
of you who don't fully appreciate the power of culture,
I would beg of you, well keep listening to the
show because we talk about it, and be think about
it a little bit. As you know, stages from Madison
to Lincoln and others have pointed out the constitution, our
system of government only survives because the people want it to. Now,
(09:49):
we have cops, and we have the military, and we
have laws and law enforcement and that sort of thing.
But if the will to support our system of government
ever became like it is I'm college campuses for instance,
where everybody's a Marxist, it would go away. It would
go away, and hurry you toy with the culture, you
are toying with everything we hold dear.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Or if you don't understand the importance of culture except
that you're a moron.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And we hate you and we don't like you. Okay,
fair enough. And finally, this, I love this headline. This
is so funny. I want I wonder if you everybody
has the same reaction to it. I did man lives
for one hundred days with artificial titanium heart in successful.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
New trial A titanium heart.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, yeah, I heard that headline Katie did, did do
you react to the headline?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'm like, dudes, thanks for helping me live for one
hundred days. I was kind of shooting for longer than that.
Oh right, d a successful new trial. No, actually, the
headline is accurate. It's just kind of too vague. On
Australian man lived for one hundred days with an artificial
human heart, which I'm looking at right now and it
(11:05):
looks like you got a kitchen remodel and you ordered
a really fancy faucet, maybe the kind that you have
like over your stove. It's on an arm that you
lower down so you can fill your pasta pot or whatever. Anyway,
but a woman, I think is holding it in the
palm of her hand. It's about the size of a
(11:26):
twelve in softball, the kind of softball you play with
a mit. I'm from Chicago, so I remember sixteen is softballs. Anyway,
You have a bum heart, Jim, Yeah, literally, and it's
made a titanium. Anyway, this guy lived for one hundred
days with the artificial titanium heart while he waited a
donor transplant.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Couldn't he Why didn't they just keep it going? The
heck with pig hearts or donors. I'm gonna live with
my titanium heart.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I don't think it's quite ready for that, but it
is seen as a real sign that the artificial heart
could potentially offer a long term option for people suffering
heart failure, whether as they waited for a transplant or
you know, if they can leap forward even more with
the technology may be semi permanently.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Wow, that's got to be the future, right the heck
with a you need a heart transplant from a human,
you need a donor, We'll just have mechanical hearts.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, yeah, Because I mean it's it's a fairly simple mechanism.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's like a carburetor or something.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Kind of, but it's you know, utterly necessary to keep
the human animal alive and our soul going and the
rest of it. But just a couple more details, because
I find this fascinating, Not that I'm much of a
mechanics guy, but the Baive Core total artificial heart has
a single moving part, a levitated rotor that's held in
place by magnets. As the name suggests, it's constructed from titanium,
(12:45):
and there are no valves or mechanical bearings. That may
be susceptible to wear. It pumps blood to the body
and lungs, replacing both ventricles of a failing heart.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
This is making me woozy for something. I know me too.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
A friend has just had aious heart problem. So everything
I hear about this stuff gives me the woozies. But anyway,
you know, as various aspects of life and government get
crappier and crappier, science is forging ahead.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
One of the most interesting notes I've heard.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
On the word science coming up later, plus is a
progressivesm of mental disorder.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I'll bet a titanium heart can't break. So you know,
your best gal leaves you and you're fine. Sorry, got
a titanum heart.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think you're mistaking the metaphor for medical reality. But
all that stuff Joe mentioned and other stuff on the
way still here.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Finally, Southwest Airlines anounce yesterday will no longer offer customers
complimentary checked bags, while in spirit, your first garbage bag
is still free. All right, here's the question, does being
married make you fat? Answers Yes, Now back to you. Now,
(14:01):
it's more complicated than that. Just came across this thought.
It was kind of interesting, yes, for men, know for women,
So they give all the statistics in America for where
the we're the most overweight, rich country in the world.
And although we're spreading it around the world with American
culture comes obeseently, we're doing what we can. Yeah, getting older,
(14:25):
you gain weight, so I tend to so your metabolism
slows down, and you tend exercise less.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
So people just gain weight getting older.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Women, whether they're married or not, certain percentage of people
get overweight or obese. Doesn't matter whether you get married
or not. For men, your three point two times more
likely to get obese if you get married, then if
you not. Kind of interesting. I don't know why men
(14:53):
marriage matters and women it doesn't. Then a different statistic
small towns, town of eight thousand or less women much
which more likely to be overweight or obese in a
small town, doesn't make any doesn't affect anything for men
the size of the town. I find both of those
things kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
There's a lot there that's really interesting, including the fact
that the differences between men and women's biology no way
in a hundred a thousand different ways, I mean a
thousand is so distinct, amazing and interesting. The idea that
a woman is just a social construct maybe one of
(15:29):
the most idiotic things you ever uttered. Gender bending madness
update coming up in a little bit, by the way.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, the idea of I'd never thought about this before,
but it's obvious a lot of the statistics you see
about people getting married and gaining weight, you would have
gained weight if you hadn't got married. Also, just you
gotten older. I mean, so that's a chunk of it
right there. And then there's the Jerry Seinfeld joke. You know,
the races overtake off the uniform. That's true to a
(15:56):
certain extent.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It just is, well, you have changed the incentives and disincentives,
as I'm always talking about, So you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Get different behaviors, But not with women around marriage, only
with men. Right, But in terms of living in a town,
the small town, yeah, this town got nothing to do
with an eat ice cream, whereas men are the same
regardless of town size.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, it's a cultural thing. I mean, why is everybody
so damn fit in Denver for instance?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah? Yeah, right, man, you go to the fat, the
ears thinned, a tough to mood.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
You go around you want to feel bad about yourself,
go to the beach in La Man.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's it's it's shocking, Jack. I woke up feeling bad
about myself.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
So you got your gender bending madness update and uh
and and other stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
We gotta get to.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Oh Trump with a bit of a warning to Putin today.
Putin said he accepts the cease fire. It just depends
on the details, which is and hilarious phrase.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And updates every fifteen seconds on the possible government shut down.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Give me a break, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Saturn has one hundred and twenty eight new moons, according
to scientists, so.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
How many is enough?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Saturn just accordingly, Trump is en us with one the
rich get richer moon inequity is what it is. Grump
has said something about the ceasefire. Putin said he agreed
to the seat fire depending on conditions, which is I
don't know what that means. But anyway, we'll get to
that next segment.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But first, it's a gender bending madness update.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Holy First, an incident in the United States Congress that
we didn't have time to talk about.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It happened a few days ago.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
But worse playing for you, this is the House Foreign
Affairs subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, Congressman Keith Self, Republican of Texas,
referred to Representative Sarah McBride dude Delaware.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Oh no, d stands for a Democrat, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
As the who is the first transgender person elected to Congress?
As you're about to hear as as mister role at Michael.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Nineteen, I now recognize the representative from Delaware, mister McBride,
Thank you, madam, Chair Ranking Member Keating also wonderful, Stuart.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Chairman, could you repeat your instruction again?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Please?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We have set the standard on the floor of the House.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
What is that standard? Mister chairman, would you repeat what
you just said? You introduced a duly elected representative from
the United States of America? Please, I will the representative
from Delaware, mister McBride. Mister chairman, you are out of
a order. Mister chairman, have you no decency? I mean
I have come to know you a little bit, but
this is not decent.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
We will continue this. You will not continue it with me.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Unless you introduce a duly elected representative.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The right way. This hearing is adjourned. So that was
I almost dropped it. That was.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Democrat Congressman Bill Keating jumping to the ladies defense, because
the chairman introduced the transgender person as mister.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
And that's the chairman not wanting to respond to somebody
by their non biological what they are.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, biologically male, which is of course the
only kind of male there is. It's a biological term.
And things to descended into madness, as your gender bending madness.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So we'll let you, you know, you figure out.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh, you got somebody who fully presents as a woman
and calls themselves a woman, and is there in Congress
whether you should refer to or as ms or mister,
that's up to you.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I have my beliefs. But that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Then this who could forget the clip from Gavin Newsom's
hit podcast in which he and right wing influencer Charlie Kirk,
we're talking about dudes in women's sports.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
It's like, you right now should come out and be like,
you know what, the young man who's about to win
the state championship in the long jump in female sports,
that's that that shouldn't happen. You as the governor should
step out there say no, no, and I appreciate and like,
would you do something like that? Would you say no
men in female sports? Well, I think it's an issue
of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So
that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's
(20:44):
also a humility and grace, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, there he gets into his lefty talking points, and.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
So that very weak.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, it's a good, cool question of fairness, and that
is lacking in the sense of fairness. Right dudes whooping
up on women in support? How when teenage boys can
beat the world record holder women in track and field,
for instance.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, that's unfair anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So that was his very very weak statement. And as
we've outlined, the left has gone crazy. Here's a letter
to the editor of cal Matters guest editorial by Tory,
who is, as she says, a queer parent based in Sacramento.
Keeping in mind that queer can mean anything you want.
It just means fighting the system. Man. Anyway, I'll just
(21:35):
read her letter on the first episode of or editorial.
On the first episode of his new podcast, gav You
knw Some and Broke Some News, he no longer aligns
with the Democratic Party on trans rights. He invited right
wing provocateur Charlie Kirk Onto his show, unprompted, and what
does that mean? You can invite anybody who wants, so
do we, and proceeded to agree with him on whether
(21:56):
trans athletes should be able to compete in girls' sports.
The interview seemed intentionally design to show how much they
had in common, like when Newsom complained about how weird
it was when people shared their pronouns in a meeting.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yes, that is weird and abnormal.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
I actually makes the point, So that's that's something I
felt like. His boys and girls sports thing was just
kind of like really noncommittal. But the saying it's weird
to say pronouns, Yeah, okay, yeah, I can see how
that angered the far left.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But she makes the point. She's quite correct. He wants
the public to know that he agrees with Kirk and
eighty five percent of America Tory. But anyway, right, So
then she describes her family as in most ways totally
boring and they have a very you know, normal lifestyle.
(22:46):
And then she gets into the particulars it's worth it
to us the fighting this because we need particular legal protections.
I'm a lesbian, my partner carried our child, and she's
known for decades that she's not a man or a woman.
We are both on our child's birth certificate. But I
got a second parent adoption just in case. My spouse
had gender affirming surgery a year ago. They have no
(23:06):
idea that, oh they they're not a man nor a woman,
but they had gender affirming surgery. I hope it came
out well anyway. She goes on to make her point
at length. She describes Gabby sailing into the governor's office
supporting LGBTQ minus plus times two over the power three stuff,
(23:28):
and she gets to the key part. Instead of leading
with a vision of California many people actually want, he's
decided to scapegoat trans people for an imagined Midwest voter
in a future presidential run. Nah, oh, it gets better.
It's the twenty twenty four right wing script on repeat.
This is how this woman sees the world. They push
(23:49):
creepy political ideas until liberals, in an attempt to sound tough,
adopt them instead of shutting them down. It's a trap, however,
because then those creepy ideas become mainstream and newsome is
falling for it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So the idea of.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Men shouldn't whoop up on women in sports that are
women's sports.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
She calls a.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Creepy new idea, new political idea that's crept in or
that there are men and there are women, which is
a truth that has been known in all biological science
since time immemorial. And there are some men who don't
look particularly like a man and women who don't look
very quote unquote womanly, but there's still men and women.
I mean, that's been indisputable since the dawn of man.
(24:38):
She calls that a creepy political idea pushed by con
right wingers. If your view of the world is that twisted,
are you actually mentally disturbed?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Um, based on some people I know, I don't think so,
just because you're surrounded by people everybody year around agrees
with you, and you can't imagine the reality out there.
Remember I said this several years back. I had a
friend who worked in the university setting who came up
(25:17):
the conversation, came up with the idea of putting pronouns
and the sign off on your email. And this person,
I said, you know who does that? And they said,
doesn't everybody do that? Because they worked in a university setting,
had only worked in a university setting, and we're in
the depression that everybody in the world and everybody in
America was putting the pronouns in their sign off on
(25:40):
their email. Then I talked about it on the radio
and the company you work for because I said, I
only know my own industry, but.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Nobody's doing that, I mean nobody.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
And then we got email after email after MeMail and said, no,
nobody does that in my industry. So if you're surrounded
by people that you know agree with you, I don't
think you have to be crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Point, does ideology the capture of your brain bi ideology
become madness?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But here's some more of those creepy new ideas being
pushed by right winners. This trap has real consequences for
the LGBTQ community. Trans athletes were the opening salvo in
a playbook already well underway in Red States, elimination of
healthcare for trans kids.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's right, if they get pneumonia, we just let them die. No.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
No, what has been eliminated is cruel experiments in sex
change on children who can't possibly consent to that sort
of thing. If your trends, you're not allowed to get
a tetnis shot right, So drop the euphemisms, deer, and
talk about what you're actually talking about, and that is
eighty five ten or so in the public consciousness as
(26:45):
well leads directly to elimination of healthcare for trans adults.
Policing Genitalia leads to proposals like George's HB two sixty seven,
which is about trans athletes, but would also restrict listen
to this creep new right wing program. It would restrict
parental birth certificate options to mother and father. Creepy right
(27:12):
wing ideas. That's just crazy. Wow, Californias do not want
any part of regressive laws or the bigotry they embolden. You, dear,
I think you are a person of good conscience. You
are pro child abuse, and you are bizarrely out of
(27:32):
touch with humanity. This is the final note passed along
by Nick. I thought this is so good. Keeping in mind,
I am a man proudly, proudly displaying a diploma that
says I have a degree in political science, even as
a twenty two year old. In receiving my diploma, I noticed,
(27:54):
wait a minute, my degree is political science, but it's
a Bachelor of Arts, which is not a Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Of science, which is why you wear a lab coat
toward right. Anyway, I thought it was a scientist.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Wait a minute, anyway, Nick writes, I think I heard
this from Brett Weinstein or a similar smarty pants, but
it made an impact. Things with science in the name
are rarely science. We don't add the word science to
things that are clearly science, like physics, chemistry, biology, etc.
It's only added to things that need dressing up, like
(28:27):
social science and no offense. But political science, Oh, I know, Oh,
there's a fair amount of like statistical studies in political
science and that sort of thing. But no, it's fair criticism.
It's a dead giveaway that you're not talking about science
when the word itself pops up.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Anything that's mostly malleable theory is obviously not science.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah, I wanted to get this on as part of this.
This happened somewhere where somebody misgendered somebody and then things
went crazy. This is an actual adults rolling around. Wow,
(29:24):
these people are crazy. I'm looking at the video chaos
at a Saint Patrick's gala over an ex teacher who
refused to use trans students pronouns and somebody got all crazy,
and then people were screaming, and these are people in
suits and ties and dresses rolling around on the floor fighting,
screaming about transgenderism and people should be in prison in
various things.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
It was a Saint Patrick's stay gather so you're drunk.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
And then one other thing. I wish I had gotten
the audio for this. I saw this video the other
day of uh I can't can't think of his name,
not one the decathlon in nineteen seventy six and became
a woman a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Jenner as Caitlyn.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Who's now Kaitlyn Jenner Bruce Jenner, who's actually a Trump
Conservative but as a h goes by a woman's name noun,
dresses as a woman and calls himself a woman. He
was playing golf the other day and one of the
people in his foursome had their phone out and was
video him when he came out of the men's room.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
When they stopped at.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
One of the holes, he he, uh, you know, he
needed to drain the lizard whoever, and thanks for that.
So he came out and they asked him about use
the men's room. He said, yeah, I haven't used a
women No. The women's room. He came out of the
women's room. Sorry video of him coming out of the
women's room, and he said, I haven't used a men's
room in eight years.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Men's rooms are disgusting.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
And then they got into a conversation how much cleaner
the women's room is in the men's room.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
But I just thought that was kind of funny, kind
of a lighthearted. Men's rooms are disgusting, so I used
the women's room.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Wow, Wow, Yeah, Okay, it's gender bending, madness fighting.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I as forgot in this.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Otherwise it was profession Jenner who was like six for
two thirty.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I mean, a built dude, even at his age. It
would be a little shocking.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
If you're a wow, misgendering and dead naming, you're a bigot.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
We got a lot more of this so called ceasefire
and a bunch of other stuff coming up.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Stay here, armstrong.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Yet, if you look at the actual content of what
President Putin said during that press conference, on the one hand,
he said, yes, it's a great idea, it's a correct idea,
the idea of this thirty day ceasefire, and we welcome it.
Butt And it was a big butt, And he went
on to list a raft of kind of preconditions, some
of those including that during this thirty day complete ceasefire,
(31:44):
Ukraine would have to stop training its troops, it would
not be able to mobilize its troops, it would not
be able to receive any weaponry, and a number of
different issues he raised, essentially trying to really apparently slow
this whole process down.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
He likes big butts. Yes, it was a big butt.
I agree to the Sea Spire butt. It's got to
be everything we want to nothing they want.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I mean, this isn't even I mean, you don't need
to be a political analyst. Now, well he's saying he's
in favor of it, then setting conditions that are utterly
unacceptable and almost hilariously impractical. So then he can, you know,
prolong the process and try to play Trump.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Right, and then it works to a certain extent in
that I saw many headlines that at least the big
print headline was putin agrees to Sea Spire, and then
the print underneath it would be depending on conditions or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
But you know, the headline was that's idiotic.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I know it's idiotic anyway, as Zolensky thought it was idiotic.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
President Zelenski saying and response to President Putin's comments and
that press conference that his words were quote, very predictable
and very manipulative. He went on to basically accuse President
Putin of being too much of a coward to just
come out out and say that basically Russia wants to
continue the war. He went on to say that Ukraine,
(33:06):
unlike Russia, will not be getting in the way of
peace and trying to make things difficult.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yeah, he went he said, what we've heard from Russia's
Putin is very predictable, very manipulative. In practice, he's preparing
a rejection, which that is what's happening.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Oh yeah, while calling it an acceptance, I mean it's
not even it's so transparent where we even discussing.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
The interesting thing and the whole world is waiting to
see this is once it's clear that Putin has rejected this,
Zelensky having finally agreed to it. What's Trump's move? What's
the United States move in terms of any pressure toward Putin?
(33:49):
Or do you start arming Ukraine like crazy, which Trump
threatened during the campaign.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Right, So we'll see speaking of difficult deals next hour,
our four we will have a look at the deal
the Trump administration has offered to Columbia University to resume
of funding them, and I love it.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Oh small other fair Speaking of Trump, I forgot to
mention one thing that has happened today on that front.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Let me find that because it is good. Bah bah
bah bah bah bah. I got some other good stuff.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Trump warned Putin today that millions could die if fighting
in Ukraine doesn't end. I don't know what that means. Millions.
What do you expect to happen? I think you're absolutely
arms correct. Putin's not going to agree to a ceasefire.
He's going to drag it out. How is Trump going
to react to this? He's going to Is he going
(34:43):
to play along and act like Putin's actually trying to
make up his mind?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You ain't not a guess, No, no, I cannot imagine
what's Trump's mind at this point toward put I just
don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I don't get the things he says, and does you know,
I don't think I have a guess either.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
I suppocify as going to guess it would be he
allows Putin to drag this out and stretch it out
and acts like Putin's trying to come to an agreement
but hope not.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Armstrong and getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Decide and he arm Strong and Eddy.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I think there's a mistake on the bill, but maybe
you can help me out. We got a bill and
then we realized that you guys didn't have our insurance,
so we we sent you the insurance and it looks
like the bill went up.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It went up.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, the first the first bill we got without the
insurance was six hundred bucks and then the second one
was almost thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, so that's that first and was you received. That's
a discount that you received if you're uninsured, right, so
you're not elegi a discount since you are insured.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Can I go back to the discount without the insurance?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
So you're insured, so eligible for the discount if.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I go cancel my insurance, Am I eligible for the discount?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
No? Because we checked eligibility and you do have active
coverage for data service.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh, I needed to cancel it before I got the
service to get the discount.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You're only eligible for the discount if you're uninsured.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, so I'll get cheaper healthcare if I'm uninsured.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
This is a new law of past service started twenty
twenty four AB seven six. And your law, you receive
a discount if you're uninsured.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
At least the guy on the phone, A, you could
understand him, and B he was pretty well versed in
the topic. But yeah, and if you're on a government
quote unquote insurance program, you'll get a discount much lower
than both of those.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
This happens in lots of realms. I've had this happen
with cars. Are you paying cash for this? You're running
through an insurance because if we run it through your insurance,
we're going to charge like nine hundred dollars, But if
you're paying for it, it's like four hundred and fifty dollars.
Because I don't care. You don't care what I charge
your insurance company, and I can just charge them as
much and they don't care because it's part of a
(02:12):
whole scam.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The theme continues that we've enunciated a couple times today
of in particular progressive policies that ignore the basic fundamentals
of human behavior. For instance, where there is third party payment,
there is waste and bloat and apathy. It was back
to It was a Milton Friedman who put it so simply, ineloquently.
(02:37):
You know, there's three four ways of spending money. You
spending money on yourself, you care about value and quality.
You spending money on someone else you care about value
but less about quality. Someone else spending your money blah
blah blah. And by the time you get to somebody
else spending somebody else's money for somebody else, they don't
give half an ass about quality or efficiency, right, And
(03:00):
that is like trillions and trillions of dollars of well,
it is government spending.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Ikram.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So is progressivism actually a mental disorder? Coming up in
a moment or two, we'll have a case study and
we'll let you decide. Wow, a couple of headlines just
worth touching on, and especially because you just won't get
them from the mainstream media. Pete Hegseeth has ordered a
force wide review of existing fitness and grooming standards. We
(03:31):
must remain vigilant in maintaining the standards that enable the
men and women of our military to protect the American
people in our homeland as the world's most lethal and
effective fighting force.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Hegxeth said, just a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Our adversaries are not growing weaker, and our tasks are
not growing less challenging.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
No doubt about that. Fitness, I get, what's the grooming part?
Just a question of discipline. His whole philosophy is we
we're an organizational war fighters. We're not a jobs program,
We're not a bureaucracy. We're war fighters. We've been saying
(04:07):
that for years.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And he goes into a bunch of you know, specific
because for instance, quote because in those ground combat roles,
what is true is that the weight of the rock
on your back does not change. The weight of the
one hundred and fifty five rounds that you have to carry,
does not change the weight of the two forty Bravo
machine gun you might have to carry, does not change.
So why in the world have we changed the fitness standards?
And so whether it is a man or a woman,
(04:29):
they have to meet the same high standards. He said
in front of the Senate.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Obbs it should be, but it's not to a lot
of people.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Uh yeah, he said, look, where is that quote? There
are a couple that I really like that I don't see.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Essentially, he said, we need to be fat, not fit,
or fit not fat.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Our troops will look sharp, not sloppy. We seek only quality,
not quotas. And this steers into was it Hexas or
somebody else wrote a great editorial about how we need
to ret turned to the theme of be all you
can be, be excellent, be better than you thought you
could be, whether it's in the Marines or another service.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Not.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Hey, here's a pretty cush job.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And we hardly turn anybody down, which had become part
of the culture.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Right anyway, I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you see the team track runner who bashed her
opponent's head with a baton?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I did. I didn't follow the story though the runner
was claiming it was an accident. I didn't watch the video.
Is it pretty obvious to you that she hit her
on the head on purpose?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I did not have a shade of doubt in my
mind that she smashed the other girl on the head. Really,
but she the smasher has gone on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How do you think you're gonna get away with that?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And the NAACP has also taken up her cause, which
doesn't help it the.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Race issue in the vaulter.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Both folks involved are black girls, but she says they
strike occurred because she got stuck behind tuck that's the wacky,
and lost her balance after a couple times of hitting her,
My baton got stuck behind her back like this and
it rolled up her back. I lost my balance. When
I pumped my arms again, she got hit. I know
my intentions and I would never hit someone on purpose.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
She moved her head in front of my baton while
I was swinging it to get a bee away from me.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I have an odd way of running. It includes swinging
of my baton into the next lane. And then she
cites online threats and insults. That's irrelevant. I'm sorry to
hear that happen, but that's irrelevant to your guilt or not.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Who are you nut jobs that everybody that makes the
news you figure out how to reach them and threaten them.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Who are you people? Weak trolls? Plays? Build something in
your life? Moving along? Oh, she's been charged with AsSalt
and battery, but how she suggize it?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So they're running the relay, she gets a baton, she
hits the other chick in the head. Does she go down? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, it goes down hard cushion possible skull fraction.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's quite the It looks like a
beating to me. But Trump borders are Tom Holman ventured
to Albany, the capital of New York, Wednesday, to stand
with state Republicans and to blast Democrats for what he
says there was their pro illegal immigration policies. Homan criticized
the governor, Kathy Hokeel and state Democrats for interfering with
(07:18):
federal immigration enforcement, pointing out that it was flouting the law,
it was dangerous to law enforcement, and they're bad Americans.
In short, So Homan on the warpath and I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We're on in Buffalo now.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I noticed we've gained some Twitter followers recently, and I
was just kind of going through the list and at
least one person from Buffalo who obviously had started listening.
Thank you, sir and joined our Twitter following. Awesome love
upstate New York.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I do spend a lot of time there as a
kid anyway. Oh, speaking of immigration, the census shows that
Joe Biden inflated the foreign population of the United States
sixteen percent, with eight point three million people in four years.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
We have the highest percentage of foreign born people we've
ever had in the nation's history, and nobody voted for that.
Nobody ran on it, and nobody voted for it. Correct,
and that something.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
The record breaking inflow is carefully engineered by President Joe
Biden's pro migration to borders are Alejandro waste of skin majorcis.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
According to uh.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Neil Monroe at Bright Bart and I agree with them,
the business backed Cuban born progressive opened many doors in
the US borders to a flood of legal, illegal, and
quasi legal migrants, while Democrats in Congress funded the inflow
eight point three million people in four years, larger than
the growth in the preceding twelve years.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
One. I think, to be fair, a lot of big
agriculture or hotel chains or whatever that are probably Republicans.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We're okay with this also, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, as they write in the right part, the
business backed pro rampant immigration may orchis I think that
is accurately.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
One of the more astounding things that's happened in my life.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Though.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Seriously, you changed the population drastically without anybody running for
that for office anywhere, right, and nobody voting for it.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Which significantly changes the culture of the country, and those
of you who don't fully appreciate the power of culture,
I would beg of you, well keep listening to the
show because we talk about it, and be think about
it a little bit. As you know, stages from Madison
to Lincoln and others have pointed out the constitution, our
system of government only survives because the people want it to. Now,
(09:49):
we have cops, and we have the military, and we
have laws and law enforcement and that sort of thing.
But if the will to support our system of government
ever became like it is I'm college campuses for instance,
where everybody's a Marxist, it would go away. It would
go away, and hurry you toy with the culture, you
are toying with everything we hold dear.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Or if you don't understand the importance of culture except
that you're a moron.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And we hate you and we don't like you. Okay,
fair enough. And finally, this, I love this headline. This
is so funny. I want I wonder if you everybody
has the same reaction to it. I did man lives
for one hundred days with artificial titanium heart in successful.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
New trial A titanium heart.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, yeah, I heard that headline Katie did, did do
you react to the headline?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'm like, dudes, thanks for helping me live for one
hundred days. I was kind of shooting for longer than that.
Oh right, d a successful new trial. No, actually, the
headline is accurate. It's just kind of too vague. On
Australian man lived for one hundred days with an artificial
human heart, which I'm looking at right now and it
(11:05):
looks like you got a kitchen remodel and you ordered
a really fancy faucet, maybe the kind that you have
like over your stove. It's on an arm that you
lower down so you can fill your pasta pot or whatever. Anyway,
but a woman, I think is holding it in the
palm of her hand. It's about the size of a
(11:26):
twelve in softball, the kind of softball you play with
a mit. I'm from Chicago, so I remember sixteen is softballs. Anyway,
You have a bum heart, Jim, Yeah, literally, and it's
made a titanium. Anyway, this guy lived for one hundred
days with the artificial titanium heart while he waited a
donor transplant.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Couldn't he Why didn't they just keep it going? The
heck with pig hearts or donors. I'm gonna live with
my titanium heart.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I don't think it's quite ready for that, but it
is seen as a real sign that the artificial heart
could potentially offer a long term option for people suffering
heart failure, whether as they waited for a transplant or
you know, if they can leap forward even more with
the technology may be semi permanently.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Wow, that's got to be the future, right the heck
with a you need a heart transplant from a human,
you need a donor, We'll just have mechanical hearts.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, yeah, Because I mean it's it's a fairly simple mechanism.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's like a carburetor or something.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Kind of, but it's you know, utterly necessary to keep
the human animal alive and our soul going and the
rest of it. But just a couple more details, because
I find this fascinating, Not that I'm much of a
mechanics guy, but the Baive Core total artificial heart has
a single moving part, a levitated rotor that's held in
place by magnets. As the name suggests, it's constructed from titanium,
(12:45):
and there are no valves or mechanical bearings. That may
be susceptible to wear. It pumps blood to the body
and lungs, replacing both ventricles of a failing heart.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
This is making me woozy for something. I know me too.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
A friend has just had aious heart problem. So everything
I hear about this stuff gives me the woozies. But anyway,
you know, as various aspects of life and government get
crappier and crappier, science is forging ahead.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
One of the most interesting notes I've heard.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
On the word science coming up later, plus is a
progressivesm of mental disorder.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I'll bet a titanium heart can't break. So you know,
your best gal leaves you and you're fine. Sorry, got
a titanum heart.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think you're mistaking the metaphor for medical reality. But
all that stuff Joe mentioned and other stuff on the
way still here.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Finally, Southwest Airlines anounce yesterday will no longer offer customers
complimentary checked bags, while in spirit, your first garbage bag
is still free. All right, here's the question, does being
married make you fat? Answers Yes, Now back to you. Now,
(14:01):
it's more complicated than that. Just came across this thought.
It was kind of interesting, yes, for men, know for women,
So they give all the statistics in America for where
the we're the most overweight, rich country in the world.
And although we're spreading it around the world with American
culture comes obeseently, we're doing what we can. Yeah, getting older,
(14:25):
you gain weight, so I tend to so your metabolism
slows down, and you tend exercise less.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
So people just gain weight getting older.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Women, whether they're married or not, certain percentage of people
get overweight or obese. Doesn't matter whether you get married
or not. For men, your three point two times more
likely to get obese if you get married, then if
you not. Kind of interesting. I don't know why men
(14:53):
marriage matters and women it doesn't. Then a different statistic
small towns, town of eight thousand or less women much
which more likely to be overweight or obese in a
small town, doesn't make any doesn't affect anything for men
the size of the town. I find both of those
things kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
There's a lot there that's really interesting, including the fact
that the differences between men and women's biology no way
in a hundred a thousand different ways, I mean a
thousand is so distinct, amazing and interesting. The idea that
a woman is just a social construct maybe one of
(15:29):
the most idiotic things you ever uttered. Gender bending madness
update coming up in a little bit, by the way.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, the idea of I'd never thought about this before,
but it's obvious a lot of the statistics you see
about people getting married and gaining weight, you would have
gained weight if you hadn't got married. Also, just you
gotten older. I mean, so that's a chunk of it
right there. And then there's the Jerry Seinfeld joke. You know,
the races overtake off the uniform. That's true to a
(15:56):
certain extent.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It just is, well, you have changed the incentives and disincentives,
as I'm always talking about, So you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Get different behaviors, But not with women around marriage, only
with men. Right, But in terms of living in a town,
the small town, yeah, this town got nothing to do
with an eat ice cream, whereas men are the same
regardless of town size.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, it's a cultural thing. I mean, why is everybody
so damn fit in Denver for instance?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah? Yeah, right, man, you go to the fat, the
ears thinned, a tough to mood.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
You go around you want to feel bad about yourself,
go to the beach in La Man.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's it's it's shocking, Jack. I woke up feeling bad
about myself.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
So you got your gender bending madness update and uh
and and other stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
We gotta get to.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Oh Trump with a bit of a warning to Putin today.
Putin said he accepts the cease fire. It just depends
on the details, which is and hilarious phrase.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And updates every fifteen seconds on the possible government shut down.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Give me a break, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Saturn has one hundred and twenty eight new moons, according
to scientists, so.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
How many is enough?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Saturn just accordingly, Trump is en us with one the
rich get richer moon inequity is what it is. Grump
has said something about the ceasefire. Putin said he agreed
to the seat fire depending on conditions, which is I
don't know what that means. But anyway, we'll get to
that next segment.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But first, it's a gender bending madness update.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Holy First, an incident in the United States Congress that
we didn't have time to talk about.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It happened a few days ago.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
But worse playing for you, this is the House Foreign
Affairs subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, Congressman Keith Self, Republican of Texas,
referred to Representative Sarah McBride dude Delaware.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Oh no, d stands for a Democrat, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
As the who is the first transgender person elected to Congress?
As you're about to hear as as mister role at Michael.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Nineteen, I now recognize the representative from Delaware, mister McBride,
Thank you, madam, Chair Ranking Member Keating also wonderful, Stuart.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Chairman, could you repeat your instruction again?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Please?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We have set the standard on the floor of the House.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
What is that standard? Mister chairman, would you repeat what
you just said? You introduced a duly elected representative from
the United States of America? Please, I will the representative
from Delaware, mister McBride. Mister chairman, you are out of
a order. Mister chairman, have you no decency? I mean
I have come to know you a little bit, but
this is not decent.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
We will continue this. You will not continue it with me.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Unless you introduce a duly elected representative.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The right way. This hearing is adjourned. So that was
I almost dropped it. That was.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Democrat Congressman Bill Keating jumping to the ladies defense, because
the chairman introduced the transgender person as mister.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
And that's the chairman not wanting to respond to somebody
by their non biological what they are.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, biologically male, which is of course the
only kind of male there is. It's a biological term.
And things to descended into madness, as your gender bending madness.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So we'll let you, you know, you figure out.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh, you got somebody who fully presents as a woman
and calls themselves a woman, and is there in Congress
whether you should refer to or as ms or mister,
that's up to you.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I have my beliefs. But that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Then this who could forget the clip from Gavin Newsom's
hit podcast in which he and right wing influencer Charlie Kirk,
we're talking about dudes in women's sports.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
It's like, you right now should come out and be like,
you know what, the young man who's about to win
the state championship in the long jump in female sports,
that's that that shouldn't happen. You as the governor should
step out there say no, no, and I appreciate and like,
would you do something like that? Would you say no
men in female sports? Well, I think it's an issue
of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So
that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's
(20:44):
also a humility and grace, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, there he gets into his lefty talking points, and.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
So that very weak.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, it's a good, cool question of fairness, and that
is lacking in the sense of fairness. Right dudes whooping
up on women in support? How when teenage boys can
beat the world record holder women in track and field,
for instance.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, that's unfair anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So that was his very very weak statement. And as
we've outlined, the left has gone crazy. Here's a letter
to the editor of cal Matters guest editorial by Tory,
who is, as she says, a queer parent based in Sacramento.
Keeping in mind that queer can mean anything you want.
It just means fighting the system. Man. Anyway, I'll just
(21:35):
read her letter on the first episode of or editorial.
On the first episode of his new podcast, gav You
knw Some and Broke Some News, he no longer aligns
with the Democratic Party on trans rights. He invited right
wing provocateur Charlie Kirk Onto his show, unprompted, and what
does that mean? You can invite anybody who wants, so
do we, and proceeded to agree with him on whether
(21:56):
trans athletes should be able to compete in girls' sports.
The interview seemed intentionally design to show how much they
had in common, like when Newsom complained about how weird
it was when people shared their pronouns in a meeting.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yes, that is weird and abnormal.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
I actually makes the point, So that's that's something I
felt like. His boys and girls sports thing was just
kind of like really noncommittal. But the saying it's weird
to say pronouns, Yeah, okay, yeah, I can see how
that angered the far left.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But she makes the point. She's quite correct. He wants
the public to know that he agrees with Kirk and
eighty five percent of America Tory. But anyway, right, So
then she describes her family as in most ways totally
boring and they have a very you know, normal lifestyle.
(22:46):
And then she gets into the particulars it's worth it
to us the fighting this because we need particular legal protections.
I'm a lesbian, my partner carried our child, and she's
known for decades that she's not a man or a woman.
We are both on our child's birth certificate. But I
got a second parent adoption just in case. My spouse
had gender affirming surgery a year ago. They have no
(23:06):
idea that, oh they they're not a man nor a woman,
but they had gender affirming surgery. I hope it came
out well anyway. She goes on to make her point
at length. She describes Gabby sailing into the governor's office
supporting LGBTQ minus plus times two over the power three stuff,
(23:28):
and she gets to the key part. Instead of leading
with a vision of California many people actually want, he's
decided to scapegoat trans people for an imagined Midwest voter
in a future presidential run. Nah, oh, it gets better.
It's the twenty twenty four right wing script on repeat.
This is how this woman sees the world. They push
(23:49):
creepy political ideas until liberals, in an attempt to sound tough,
adopt them instead of shutting them down. It's a trap, however,
because then those creepy ideas become mainstream and newsome is
falling for it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So the idea of.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Men shouldn't whoop up on women in sports that are
women's sports.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
She calls a.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Creepy new idea, new political idea that's crept in or
that there are men and there are women, which is
a truth that has been known in all biological science
since time immemorial. And there are some men who don't
look particularly like a man and women who don't look
very quote unquote womanly, but there's still men and women.
I mean, that's been indisputable since the dawn of man.
(24:38):
She calls that a creepy political idea pushed by con
right wingers. If your view of the world is that twisted,
are you actually mentally disturbed?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Um, based on some people I know, I don't think so,
just because you're surrounded by people everybody year around agrees
with you, and you can't imagine the reality out there.
Remember I said this several years back. I had a
friend who worked in the university setting who came up
(25:17):
the conversation, came up with the idea of putting pronouns
and the sign off on your email. And this person,
I said, you know who does that? And they said,
doesn't everybody do that? Because they worked in a university setting,
had only worked in a university setting, and we're in
the depression that everybody in the world and everybody in
America was putting the pronouns in their sign off on
(25:40):
their email. Then I talked about it on the radio
and the company you work for because I said, I
only know my own industry, but.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Nobody's doing that, I mean nobody.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
And then we got email after email after MeMail and said, no,
nobody does that in my industry. So if you're surrounded
by people that you know agree with you, I don't
think you have to be crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Point, does ideology the capture of your brain bi ideology
become madness?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But here's some more of those creepy new ideas being
pushed by right winners. This trap has real consequences for
the LGBTQ community. Trans athletes were the opening salvo in
a playbook already well underway in Red States, elimination of
healthcare for trans kids.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's right, if they get pneumonia, we just let them die. No.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
No, what has been eliminated is cruel experiments in sex
change on children who can't possibly consent to that sort
of thing. If your trends, you're not allowed to get
a tetnis shot right, So drop the euphemisms, deer, and
talk about what you're actually talking about, and that is
eighty five ten or so in the public consciousness as
(26:45):
well leads directly to elimination of healthcare for trans adults.
Policing Genitalia leads to proposals like George's HB two sixty seven,
which is about trans athletes, but would also restrict listen
to this creep new right wing program. It would restrict
parental birth certificate options to mother and father. Creepy right
(27:12):
wing ideas. That's just crazy. Wow, Californias do not want
any part of regressive laws or the bigotry they embolden. You, dear,
I think you are a person of good conscience. You
are pro child abuse, and you are bizarrely out of
(27:32):
touch with humanity. This is the final note passed along
by Nick. I thought this is so good. Keeping in mind,
I am a man proudly, proudly displaying a diploma that
says I have a degree in political science, even as
a twenty two year old. In receiving my diploma, I noticed,
(27:54):
wait a minute, my degree is political science, but it's
a Bachelor of Arts, which is not a Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Of science, which is why you wear a lab coat
toward right. Anyway, I thought it was a scientist.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Wait a minute, anyway, Nick writes, I think I heard
this from Brett Weinstein or a similar smarty pants, but
it made an impact. Things with science in the name
are rarely science. We don't add the word science to
things that are clearly science, like physics, chemistry, biology, etc.
It's only added to things that need dressing up, like
(28:27):
social science and no offense. But political science, Oh, I know, Oh,
there's a fair amount of like statistical studies in political
science and that sort of thing. But no, it's fair criticism.
It's a dead giveaway that you're not talking about science
when the word itself pops up.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Anything that's mostly malleable theory is obviously not science.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah, I wanted to get this on as part of this.
This happened somewhere where somebody misgendered somebody and then things
went crazy. This is an actual adults rolling around. Wow,
(29:24):
these people are crazy. I'm looking at the video chaos
at a Saint Patrick's gala over an ex teacher who
refused to use trans students pronouns and somebody got all crazy,
and then people were screaming, and these are people in
suits and ties and dresses rolling around on the floor fighting,
screaming about transgenderism and people should be in prison in
various things.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
It was a Saint Patrick's stay gather so you're drunk.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
And then one other thing. I wish I had gotten
the audio for this. I saw this video the other
day of uh I can't can't think of his name,
not one the decathlon in nineteen seventy six and became
a woman a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Jenner as Caitlyn.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Who's now Kaitlyn Jenner Bruce Jenner, who's actually a Trump
Conservative but as a h goes by a woman's name noun,
dresses as a woman and calls himself a woman. He
was playing golf the other day and one of the
people in his foursome had their phone out and was
video him when he came out of the men's room.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
When they stopped at.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
One of the holes, he he, uh, you know, he
needed to drain the lizard whoever, and thanks for that.
So he came out and they asked him about use
the men's room. He said, yeah, I haven't used a
women No. The women's room. He came out of the
women's room. Sorry video of him coming out of the
women's room, and he said, I haven't used a men's
room in eight years.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Men's rooms are disgusting.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
And then they got into a conversation how much cleaner
the women's room is in the men's room.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
But I just thought that was kind of funny, kind
of a lighthearted. Men's rooms are disgusting, so I used
the women's room.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Wow, Wow, Yeah, Okay, it's gender bending, madness fighting.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I as forgot in this.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Otherwise it was profession Jenner who was like six for
two thirty.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I mean, a built dude, even at his age. It
would be a little shocking.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
If you're a wow, misgendering and dead naming, you're a bigot.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
We got a lot more of this so called ceasefire
and a bunch of other stuff coming up.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Stay here, armstrong.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Yet, if you look at the actual content of what
President Putin said during that press conference, on the one hand,
he said, yes, it's a great idea, it's a correct idea,
the idea of this thirty day ceasefire, and we welcome it.
Butt And it was a big butt, And he went
on to list a raft of kind of preconditions, some
of those including that during this thirty day complete ceasefire,
(31:44):
Ukraine would have to stop training its troops, it would
not be able to mobilize its troops, it would not
be able to receive any weaponry, and a number of
different issues he raised, essentially trying to really apparently slow
this whole process down.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
He likes big butts. Yes, it was a big butt.
I agree to the Sea Spire butt. It's got to
be everything we want to nothing they want.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I mean, this isn't even I mean, you don't need
to be a political analyst. Now, well he's saying he's
in favor of it, then setting conditions that are utterly
unacceptable and almost hilariously impractical. So then he can, you know,
prolong the process and try to play Trump.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Right, and then it works to a certain extent in
that I saw many headlines that at least the big
print headline was putin agrees to Sea Spire, and then
the print underneath it would be depending on conditions or whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
But you know, the headline was that's idiotic.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I know it's idiotic anyway, as Zolensky thought it was idiotic.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
President Zelenski saying and response to President Putin's comments and
that press conference that his words were quote, very predictable
and very manipulative. He went on to basically accuse President
Putin of being too much of a coward to just
come out out and say that basically Russia wants to
continue the war. He went on to say that Ukraine,
(33:06):
unlike Russia, will not be getting in the way of
peace and trying to make things difficult.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yeah, he went he said, what we've heard from Russia's
Putin is very predictable, very manipulative. In practice, he's preparing
a rejection, which that is what's happening.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Oh yeah, while calling it an acceptance, I mean it's
not even it's so transparent where we even discussing.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
The interesting thing and the whole world is waiting to
see this is once it's clear that Putin has rejected this,
Zelensky having finally agreed to it. What's Trump's move? What's
the United States move in terms of any pressure toward Putin?
(33:49):
Or do you start arming Ukraine like crazy, which Trump
threatened during the campaign.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Right, So we'll see speaking of difficult deals next hour,
our four we will have a look at the deal
the Trump administration has offered to Columbia University to resume
of funding them, and I love it.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Oh small other fair Speaking of Trump, I forgot to
mention one thing that has happened today on that front.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Let me find that because it is good. Bah bah
bah bah bah bah. I got some other good stuff.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Trump warned Putin today that millions could die if fighting
in Ukraine doesn't end. I don't know what that means. Millions.
What do you expect to happen? I think you're absolutely
arms correct. Putin's not going to agree to a ceasefire.
He's going to drag it out. How is Trump going
to react to this? He's going to Is he going
(34:43):
to play along and act like Putin's actually trying to
make up his mind?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You ain't not a guess, No, no, I cannot imagine
what's Trump's mind at this point toward put I just
don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I don't get the things he says, and does you know,
I don't think I have a guess either.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
I suppocify as going to guess it would be he
allows Putin to drag this out and stretch it out
and acts like Putin's trying to come to an agreement
but hope not.
