Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Gadgety and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Gates himself has been calling senators to make his Gates
and will meet personally with several of them a courtship
led by Vice President elect JD.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Vamps.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Gates was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for
allegations of sexual misconduct, including attending sex parties and having
sex with a minor. The Florida Republican has denied any wrongdoing.
Nearly one hundred House Democrats demanded the Ethics Panel release
its report on Gates to the Senate. Other materials tied
to separate investigations into Gates were hacked by an unknown
(00:54):
party That includes a deposition from a miner who allegedly
had sex with him.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He talked funny stent and decide if she was like,
is that AI?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah? I wondered that that almost sounds like AI. But
they set the pitch too low for a gal.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So the Ethics Committee is meeting today in Washington, d C.
And there's some belief that they're going to release the report.
I don't know if it's going to come out or not.
Would that make much difference, is I suppose if there's
stuff in there, we don't know, but I don't know
that there is.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well it might in that way that you know, whether
it's an NFL running back or whatever other crime, and
you hear and nobody's disputed it what happened, then seeing
it really matters. Maybe if you had the actual quotes
from people describing the scene, it might solidify it in
(01:56):
people's minds in a way that's kind of weird, but
it matters. Matt Gates is my kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm almost certain I would hate him. I was hanging
around him in actual real life, but uh, getting with whores.
If that disqualified you from public service in the United
States government throughout history, you'd have to scratch out him.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Awful lot of names that like.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Some of which have statues and are on big buildings,
and there are prizes named after all kinds of different stuff.
I mean, it's yeah, yes, I mean I'm in favor
of it. But it used to happen all the time.
I and we just didn't report it because we thought
it was nobody's business.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Right, I thought it was really interesting. John You and
Robert Della Hunt he wrote a piece where they were
talking about Gates, and this has been my contention too.
They summed it up quite eloquently. I'm not going to
read it to you, but their point is, yes, the
Justice Department has committed terrible sins, and yes it needs
(03:05):
to be cleaned up, and it's going to take a
strong hand to do it. Here's the problem. Matt Gates
will be unsuccessful because he's too easily undermined. He won't
be able to garner the public support and just the
momentum that it takes to do something as difficult as
(03:26):
reforming the Department of Justice is going to be. It's
not that he's a bad guy, because he is, I
think a bad guy. It's that he won't be successful
in the goals. A lot of y'all want him to
be successful in which I thought was compelling.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So, like I've said several times, a lot of my
favorite punnits, because I listened to a lot of read
a lot of stuff, listen to a lot of podcasts,
a lot of my favorite pundits know way way more
about this than I do. Like I've been involved in
this stuff and everything believe that Trump was going to
get most, if not all, these people through, including Gates.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean, when Gates was first nominated, I thought, no
way he gets confirmed.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But now a lot of smart people think he will be.
I'm interested to see how that plays out. I will say,
a lot of those people and they're good folks and wise,
and I'm not here to belittle them in any way,
but they also swore eight months ago, nine months ago,
there is zero chance Joe Biden gets out. Zero chance.
(04:27):
I know because I was saying, yes he will, and
listening to some of my favorite commentators say not a chance.
So they're very tied up in the Beltway, and you
got the Manhattan real estate developer coming back into town.
But who knows. I'll be curious to find out. I
don't have a strong opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Speaking of Joe Biden and whether he was gonna run
or not, and up until fairly recently they were told
us he was perfectly okay.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And then I want to get to Trump's absolutely terrific
choices for Secretary of Energy and similar stuff. I mean,
great choices.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Fame pollster who got a lot of attention there during
the election. Nate Silver calls on Biden to resign immediately,
and it was in response to a Washington Post article
about Biden down in Rio and Brazil at the G
twenty summit and how he has answered no questions, talked
to no reporters, not really talk to anybody really at all,
(05:20):
and he seems to be so out of it that
Nate Silver said, bah bah, bah, bah bah. We are
living in a very dangerous world. Is there any particular
reason to assume Biden is competent to be president right now?
It's a very difficult job, It's a dangerous world, extremely
high stakes decisions in Ukraine. He should resign and let
Harris serve out the final two months. And that is
(05:42):
Silver having read the Washington Post article about how Biden
does not talk to anybody, and Biden hasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Talked to anybody since the election.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
As Nate Silver pointed out, Biden spent the last weeks
of the election talking about how this would be, this
would end America, it would be devastating to the country,
all these different things, and then when it's over, you
got nothing to say, nothing reporters, no cleanup.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Wow, Okay, even some sort of philosophical fireside chat about
how we must, even as we accept the new administration,
we must protect the rights of our down trodden or
blah blah blah. Even not that sort of greeting card
crap I got for his side of the aisle.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I got to think that, like ninety percent of people
you know, at the high levels of everything, think he
shouldn't be president right now? Is it just too much
of a mess to switch horses at this point, it
doesn't seem like it would be. She could step in,
keep everybody the same same. You know, you don't have
to get all new cabinet or anything like that. Just
(06:47):
be right, just be just be mentally competent for the
next two months. Although in my experience, if you hire
a woman, she will want new cabinets. Hey, hey, and
my wife for getting a kitchenerymodel. And I'm telling you
what anyway, where was I?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, Well, keep in mind, this is the guy who
had to be forced out just a few months ago,
even though he was plainly senile, and eighty five percent
of America said so. So No, I don't see him
doing the right thing and stepping aside. Yeah, and you
know all lame ducks are lame ducks. But nobody is
(07:23):
meeting with him at the G twenty of any significance.
Nobody wants to meet with him. Nobody even wants to
say hello. They don't care. He's wandering off during photo
sessions and they can't find him because he's behind a
palm tree, and it's just it's sad. Let's hope the
pooh doesn't hit the air circulation system anytime soon, because man,
he is not not up to the task, no kidding,
(07:44):
And we're relying on the tender mercies of Jake Sullivan
and a Blinken. So I love this. I agree with
it wholeheartedly. The editor's The National Review, Joe Biden had
a whole of government approach for green energy. Donald Trump
is assembling a whole of government approach for energy. The
efficient of that, the omission of that one word makes
(08:07):
a big difference. Trump's going to appoint Chris Wright to
be the Secretary of Energy. He is a CEO of
an energy company. He has said, quote, there is no
climate crisis, and we are not in the midst of
an energy transition either. And as they point out, yeah,
climate change will pose challenges because the climate is changing,
(08:28):
but they're manageable challenges. Spreading trillions of dollars to crony's
is not going to do any good. We've got to
figure out, all right, what's preventable, what's not, how do
we adjust it? And you know, it's mitigation not prevention
at this point and true and a true energy transition
is a long way off. Currently green energy is more
(08:48):
of an addition to go global supply than anything else.
It will be a relief to have leadership tethered to
reality rather than alarmism and central planning schemes praised as
ambitious by our moral superiors. Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Why that's a good word to look out for in
the future. Ambitious doesn't mean it's good, doesn't mean it's doable.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Sounds admirable, doesn't it. Wow, they have ambitious goals for
raining and climate change. Excuse me? Are they realistic? Are
they authentic? Or are they an excuse to pass out
money to their cronies. By the way, US greenhouse gas
emissions peaked in two thousand and five, they have declined
(09:37):
as fracking has become widespread and the population has continued
to increase. We're one of the cleanest energy producers in
the history of the world, if not the cleanest. And
let's get the economy roaring. Let's lower prices through ample
(09:58):
supplies of energy, let's decrease. And it was interesting. Vladimir
Zelenski was chatting to the absolutely fantastic Trey yinst yesterday
on Fox News. Heard a podcast where Trey was talking
to some folks about his experience as a war correspondent
in his view of war and diplomacy and that sort
(10:19):
of thing. He is a really interesting guy and a
very deep thinker. Anyway, Zelenski was saying, look, I've heard
President Trump talk about how he wants to produce energy
and lower gas prices. That would really really hurt Putin,
he says, so please do it. That would screw Iran,
(10:40):
that would lower costs for every good and service you consume.
And the effect on quote unquote climate change is a
NATS fart in a hurricane. So come on, let's get
her done. So I love these appointments.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Obviously you hurt China too, So that's cool because they're
selling so much to Russian and our own Yep, awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It's great on every score except the phony bloony unicordian
green energy, rewarding your crony's stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So I don't want to be all grim. But so
they found guilty that illegal immigrant that killed Lake and Riley.
The road to how he came to be in a
situation where he could even do that is really ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Important I think to.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Talk about it is important and ridiculous, and it might
be ending soon. Probably is ending soon with the new
Trump policies. But that and other stuff on the ways.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
To hear, we shouldn't have any criminals in our country,
more or less people that are here illegally. We're talking
to the tune of over six hundred thousand people. I
reached it out to Eisen. This is coming from the
current Ice administration. As of July, six hundred and sixty
three thousand convicted.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
This is important part of it. This is not just criminals.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
These are convicted criminals that are loose in our country.
This is where our focus needs to be.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Six one hundred thousand convicted criminals loose in our country
that came in illegally, and that's where the Trump administration
says they're going to start. As we mentioned yesterday, if
you didn't hear it. Our friend Tim, the lawyer Tim Sanderford,
weighed in on due process and are these people going
to get due process? Or are we okay with them
(12:24):
not getting due process? I don't have any idea with
these I guess, well, you don't get you don't You
don't get constitutional rights when you're not a citizen of
this country. But I guess the idea would be, do
you have due process to figure out if you are
here legally or not? Because you don't want the government
just assuming you are here illegally, because they could do
that with lots of people and booting you out, I
(12:46):
guess is the theory.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, yeah, and let's see if I can find my
reply to Tim. We had an interesting discussion about it,
and it is an interesting discussion. I said, Oh, what
a tangled web we weave. When both parties let in
millions of people while pretending unconvincibly that they're trying to
stop it, you find yourself in positions of inconsistency, hypocrisy,
(13:10):
or you know, legal and moral difficulty. To me, you know,
because Tim, and that's his role in society, and he's
great at it, is making sure civil rights are protected
for citizens and non citizens human beings in short, But
we need to reinstate the idea that if you're here
without documentation, you go, even though we've gone miles and
(13:31):
miles and miles down that road. Or is a compromise
position because he's talking about you've got six hundred thousand people.
They deserve due process and hearings and blah blah blah
before you boot him out. How about the due process?
Is this? Are you Hector Gomez of one two three
Main Street in Venezuela. Okay, you're a criminal out, that's
(13:52):
due process the Court of Joe, things would move swiftly.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So oh, this poor girl Lake and Riley was murdered
by an illegal and they just found him guilty. Here's
his background. Bill Malusian, who's been doing the best reporting
on the illegal immigration problem for years on Fox tweeted
out the government failed Lake and Riley at every step
of the way. Her killer was in federal custody after
(14:21):
crossing the border illegally, had him in custody, then released
him into the country.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Why would you do that as a Venezuelan probable member
of TDA.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
But go on, he was apprehended and released again in
New York City because New York City is a sanctuary city.
After he was arrested committing a crime, so he's arrested
there in New York City released him and did not
notify ICE because that's what being a sanctuary city is
all about. How you know, you don't want to contact
(14:51):
ICE because they might kick him out of the country,
and you believe nobody should be kicking out of the
country even if you're committing crimes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
What a weird way to look the world. I mean,
you broke the law to get in and you're committing
crimes and hurting people, but were powerless to deport you. Sorry,
oh my lord, Well they don't. You don't think they
should be deported. I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I can't most of this stuff. I can at least
kind of understand your argument. I don't understand that one
You people are unicorn riding soft heads.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You need to get out of the way. The adults
are back in charge, and the idea that the Biden
administration was the grownups were back in charge. What a
load of crap.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Then, because New York City didn't want him around since
he was a criminal, taxpayer funded flight to Georgia just
to make him go somewhere else. You knew he was
a criminal, you knew he was illegal. We're gonna send
him somewhere else so he can be a criminal somewhere else.
And he went to Georgia and killed Lincoln Riley.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, there you go, New York, go murder the young
daughters of someone in a red state. We don't want
you here. And that's the compassionate side. That's a pretty
awful scrap. Once again, it is it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And when you let it get this far, and this
is this out of control, this is where you end
up with sixty percent of Americans saying deport everybody who's undocumented,
which is undoable, but that people.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Are there because they're so frustrated. Let's start with the scumbags.
And I don't want to hear any excuses. I really don't.
And one need not have a daughter of that age
who regularly goes running in college towns like I do
to be horrified by that story. But I will. I
am militant on this topic. What sort of national suicide
are we committing in the name of these fuzzy, utterly, illogical,
(16:37):
indefensible philosophies. Stop it? If we need the workers, say
we need the workers and come up with a system.
Come on, Congress, you a bunch of lazy phony fundrais
and unpatriotic pieces. I'm sorry, it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So I think the Trump administration is going to force
some of the stuff to a ruling, a for instance,
a ruling on can you be a sanctuary city, county,
state or not.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I've long been a Trump skeptic, but if he says, yeah,
I'm going to take care of that, I say, take
care of it. Arstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Well, I was a Stanta hotel was on a hill.
I said, Oka, where's a good place eat? Oh at
the bottom of going out, the restaurant was there. But
to get to it, I didn't have a car, so
you had to walk about a mile and a half around.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I said, well, hill doesn't look that steep. It's about
sixty seventy feet.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Let me see if I can go down the hill.
And then I fell down the hill. Get my head
on a rock, knock me in me eye. Well I
did the show, and then when I came back to
La I went.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
To the hospital. Well it was only a couple hours
before the show. That's not a big a deal. You
have a great thing about this age. You don't learn
by your mistakes. You just keep doing the same stupid things.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's Jay Leno, who fell down a hill and had
a big bruise on his face, who was wearing an
eyepatch yesterday. This is different than a couple of years
ago when one of his old cars blew up and
lit his face on the fire. Hurt him terribly, Right,
I I relate to the you'd think at a certain
age you're going to stop doing certain stupid things, and
(18:15):
then you realize, now, apparently this is just me.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I'm just going to keep doing this the rest of
my life. Yeah, there's something liberating about when you accept
that sort of thing. Oh that's a little disappointing, Yeah,
in a way. Yeah. So when I was talking about
the new Secretary of at a Department of Energy or
whatever it was, I'd forgotten to mention that Doug Bergham
(18:41):
is going to be the Chairman of the National Energy Council,
which is not the most prominent office, but he has.
That's one of the folks on the National Security Council.
And the belief is, and I agree with this completely
energy policy. He is national security policy to a large extent,
(19:04):
and it was not viewed that way during the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Orb. No, you know, if the s ever really hits
the fan and we're in a full on war with
China or something like that, a multi year war, yeah,
your ability to be energy independent would.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Be maybe the thing right well, And they were such
slaves to the climate change alarmist crew that, for example,
the Biden administration issued a moratorium on any new liquid
national gas export terminals, which was just an outrageous thing
to do. But don't get me started, but that did
(19:39):
material harm to our effort to wean Europe off of
Russian natural gas, empowering and enriching Russia and the axis
of a holes and the idea that you're just so
enthralled the Unicornean green energy folks that you're not going
(20:00):
to consider the incredible significance of that move to national
securities just stupid. So that's I think that's one more
example of how the Trump administration is going to be
a hell of an upgrade. Certainly hope so so away
from politics, at least tangentially for a moment. Hurts is
selling off all their teslas like crazy use Tesla Model
(20:22):
three is now available for under twenty grand as the
company grapples with mounting ev depreciation costs.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
So their concern is the value of the car or
does that have anything to do with how often people
rent them?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I know, I was just I was in a two.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was in a hurt store I remember last winter,
and somebody came in and they had some Teslas left,
and the person who'd never driven one before, said, well,
I don't I don't know how to charge it or
where you charge it. So they were a hard pass
as you would be. I mean, why would you want
to deal with that if you can get a gas
(20:58):
pard car and you know exactly how to handle that situation.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right, extra level of stress. The rental car company is
committed to selling thirty thousand electric vehicles from its fleet
by the end of the year, marking a stark reversal
from its bold twenty twenty one initiative to go Green,
where they included plans to purchase one hundred thousand Model threes.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I wonder how much government incentive or carrots or sticks
were involved in that decision. Weren't Oh well, yeah, we
do remember this. We talked about it a lot a
year ago, because I was in that Hurts place and
saw the whole thing with the with the Tesla's or whatever.
They had been told they had to have like fifty
(21:38):
percent of their cars be electric by a certain amount
of time, and Hurtz said they were going to be
all electric by a certain and then they realized.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That isn't going to work at all at all. I'm
not even close. So if you're looking for a used
model three Tesla, they're offering them at prices below twenty
thousand dollars, with additional savings possible three the four thousand
dollars federal tax I will for USDVS.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I would caution you if you've never purchased a former
rental car. Sometimes they're a bit beat up.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
As my old neighbor Larry used to say, nothing parties
like a rental How about this begin of technology. Robot
dogs are patrolling Mara Lago a robotic dog named Spot.
Is this because elons there? I don't think so. It
(22:30):
was made by Boston Dynamics. That makes all those terrifying
robots going to be robot overlords.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
That they always have dancing as if there, I guess
they'll dance before they rip your head off and shove
it down your throat.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Crap down your throat, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't think robots crap, but I suppose it's a
metaphor or something.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yes, it's this or simile, I don't know. The device
has been spotted patrolling the perimeter of Mara Lago. They
do not have weapons. That's nice, not yet, don't have weapons.
That's a good caveat. There's a sign on each one
of Spot's legs that says do not pet. Sure anybody
(23:12):
wants to, but it's a cool tool. Obviously, it's a
super mobile drone, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
The idea of calling it a dog is a little uh, well,
it's not a dog, it's a robot.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
It's a mistake to a dog shaped if it's if
your dog's head was removed from the front of it
and balanced on its back. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It's having moving cameras and recorders all around the perimeter
of your property, which is pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And anybody who's ever tried to wheel like a heavy
cart across the landscape knows your legs are a hell
of a lot better adapted to that than you know,
most wheeled vehicles. You know, depending on the expensive technology
blubbus suspension. But anyway, it's it's it's pretty cool and
I like it. On the other hand, this is the
same secret service that, as I pointed out yesterday, had
(24:07):
an avowed radical leftist ANTIFA supporter on their staff, and
they had no idea of it until Internet sleuth said, Hey,
you know this dude who's posting all this crap, he's
in your organization. Oh, she's very disappointing. But moving along.
Oh that's right, I already did the beans or the
new magical food. According to the nutritionists, here's the story
(24:33):
for the apropos of nothing. Overwhelmed pet owner surrenders. One
thousand mice walked into the New Hampshire Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on Monday and hoped to
give up what he claimed were one hundred and fifty mice,
before revealing that he actually meant well, one hundred and
fifty tanks full of mice. Who and why did he
(24:55):
have so many mice? They'd bred out of control and
he didn't know what to do with it. Kill them.
That's what you do with mice. You kill them. Like
the other hand down the road was a man with
too many hungry boas to feed. Let's see, he initially
surrendered four hundred mice. Now hundreds more are still waiting
to be rescued from what officials described his terrible living conditions.
(25:17):
What's saying rescued? You're gonna kill them all? You know
you are. What are you gonna do with all those mice?
What ever happened to And I kind of know the
answer to this question? But what happened to the adults?
Is it? Like? Am I happy that they're going to
gas or drown all these mice?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Does he give me some sort of perverse delight? No?
What I'd like to kill them all myself for the
for the pleasure of watching a living creature die. No,
of course not. But they're all gonna get snuffed. What
what is it with the percentage of the population that
can't understand that or accept that they are too soft?
They are too sweet? And look, I'm not saying you're
(25:57):
a bad person, but you're a bad person. You need
to grow up, pull up your big boy pants unless
you're a girl, just for however you want. But it's
just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
That's how you end up with so many cats too,
similar thing, and it's easier. It's easier to have a
compassion for a cat than a mouse, obviously, but it's
the same same deal. You got way more more than
you've got people that want to take care of them.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Have a government program to just feed cats until they
die of old age? No, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I know, I've said it before. There are some folks
in my neck of the woods who feed feral cats.
Now they haven't neutered too or spade, which which is great,
but they're still bird murderers.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Cats on her Henry got scratched by this wild cat
the other day and uh, and we see the cats
all the time, and it's one of those deals that
they just they just run around the neighborhood. And there's
one house where they put out little bowls full of
food every single day. So they're just feeding the neighborhood
feral cats and they're and they're like wild enough to
just attack you and scratch. But we just stated the
(27:02):
other side of the street. I'm not going to make
a big deal out of it. But what are you doing?
The hell are you doing?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
You know what you're gonna end up with more of
them and more of them until you have to make
a harsh decision about the whole cat's situation.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
There may be no truer truth than that whole circle
of you know, soft people make for hard times cycle.
You know the rest of it, folks, don't you. H
here's your fascinating mouse trivia. So, Michael, when a daddy
mouse and a mommy mouse love each other very much, yeah, mouse,
(27:39):
and they decide to have a big Yes, they do
it mouse style, Jack, Thank you for that, Michael. They
love each other very much and they want to have
a family together. They do a very special thing. It
goes by many names. The mouse with two backs, uh
co eitas whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I had this very conversation with a love each other.
I had this very conversation with a teenager. I may
know the other day, but there was a lot more
about pregnancies and STDs than some of the stuff you're saying.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, putting that aside. So the mommy and daddy mouse
get together and do that very special thing because they
love each other. Twenty days later, Junior is on the scene.
Twenty days and a day after that, Mom is raring
to go again, well, how many how you end up
with a thousand? Minds? How many mice do you have
at a time as a female mouse? One hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I've seen the math on this before with cats and
rats and mice and all sort of stuff. The exponential growth,
it's just it's stunning. You can, like you end up
with like a million in a year or something. I mean,
it's just insane.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah, it is absolutely insane, and you've got to grow
up and understand No, a certain number of them have
to be put down so we're not overrun. Why unpleasant,
but it is.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Why we need doctors who are willing to dedicate their
time to little tying up any mouse vasectomies.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
You find the male.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Mouse and you perform the little tiny vasectomy on them
and set the moose again, or.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
The production of tiny little condoms whatever works defensive to
wear them, which isn't easy. And if you don't do that,
you end up like this Thai police station that came
under a terrifying monkey attack Saturday. Two hundred monkeys broke out.
There are special enclosures that had been built rampaged with
(29:29):
one posse descending on a local police station they had
to lock all the doors and windows and draw their
guns to prevent the monkeys from entering the building for food.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
How big of monkeys are these? Like the little ones
like in South Carolina? Or bigger attacked by monkeys? Let's
see what kind of monkeys are these? I have a
fair amount of monkey knowledge. Oddly enough, I like the
fact that you call it a terrifying a monkey attack,
as if there are monkey attacks that.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You're fairly you know, cheerful. Yeah, exactly, that's funny. Oh
they're my cacks, my cacks, I suspect. How big is that?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Uh about the size of a terrier. Oh that's pretty
big at two hundred those upright. Yeah, that's more than
I need coming after me at one time.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Interestingly enough, while Thailand is an overwhelmingly Buddhist nation, it
is long assimilated Hindu traditions and lore from its pre
Buddhist era, including monkeys, are afforded a special place thanks
to the heroic Hindu monkey god Hanuman, who helped Rama
rescue his beloved wife Sita from the clutches of an
evil demon Kingfore, you can't snuff no monkeys.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
And you think I didn't know that we will finish
strong next. A couple of things that wanted to squeeze
on first, probably got those trials going on in Hong Kong,
which are pretty horrifying. Horrifying because we know how it's
going to turn out. China has taken over Hong Kong
and it'll just be another city in China under the
(30:59):
same oppressive communist regime of all the rest of China.
Jimmy Lai, the former probablish sure of the once popular
but now closed Apple Daily newspaper, which was a pro democracy,
pro freedom newspaper there in Hong Kong before the Communist
Chinese Party shut it down, was defiant Wednesday as he
(31:19):
began testifying in the case that is closely being watched
as a barometer of Hong Kong's remaining judicial independence. I
don't know why anybody's even holding out hope that there's
any going to be any independence in Hong Kong over time.
But Jimmy l Man, he's I remember when he was
featured on sixty Minutes several years back.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
He is a true patriot, rebel, brave.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I mean all the things that our college kids pretend
pretend they are on college campuses, all the time he
risked it all. He's a very wealthy man. He didn't
need to do that, but he did because he believes
in human rights and freedom and all the things that
you should care about.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's pretty clear that that he, like various other figures
around the world, including some Russian dissonance. Note, he's decided
he's going to martyr himself. Yep, yep, yep. He's like Nivaldi.
Same kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Or that Iranian girl who took off her clothes and
walked around her underwear and knowing she was going to
be tortured and killed, which she was. Apparently she was
protesting me having to wear the stupid headscarf thing, the government,
the vice police she.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And getting beaten down in the street if you didn't. Yeah,
different topic. Also interesting.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
This is for those of you who agree with the
Republican move of some sort of congressional recess so Trump
can jammed through these appointments.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Sarah Isger writes in the Dispatch.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
You all realize the Democrats will win another election someday, right,
and then under your theory, they'll get to a point
whatever lunatics they want to apport a point without the
support of even their own party.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Do you want that? Yes? No, thanks, that is the
problem with that theory. Down strong, strong, get ready.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Song it Wow, my highest grades there man, that was good.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (33:28):

our technical director, Michael Angelo. Michael, what's your final thought? Literally,
I've been getting my Thanksgiving menu ready here.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I got the turkey, we got the mashed potatoes, apple pie,
cheesy potatoes, some roasted Brussels press.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I'm adding to it. Just it's all coming together. I
heard apple pie, which I love, of course, but you
gotta have pumpkin pie. That's coming. Yeah, we got that
too Thanksgiving. I'm gonna jump the queue. I had a
slice of my favorite sort of pie these days, Keilon pie,
last night, and I thought this is too sweet, it's
too rich. It would not be a bad thing if
(34:03):
I was like off of pie. Wow, I don't even know.
Who are you do that after Thanksgiving? Yeah? I know,
I know. I'm both troubled and optimistic. Anyway, Katie green
Er stem us woman. As a final thought, Katie, my
final thought is now pie. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
It's a moob season as far as I'm concerned, mob season.
When I start to pack on the weight season.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Turn them loose jack final thought or is that it?
That's it? Entirely pie related? Final thoughts? There slice of apple,
that's fruit, vers so's lime. It's pumpkin of fruit.
