Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and
Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's right, after more than twenty years, the NBA is
finally back on NBC. One of my favorite players is
the Spurs seven foot five inch French superstar Victor Webin Yama.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Wendy. In fact, his.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Defense is so good France Assassin Toguard the louver.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Afray. Everyone is pumped. The NBA is back.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The fans in Sacramento are yelling got Kings where everyone
else is chanting no Kings.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And so I just wanted to mention that's going to
be the playoffs. No Kings. Ooh, no kidding.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
For Lebron haters out there, he is starting his twenty
third season as of last night. Unprecedented, nobody's ever done
that before. Yeah, and he's still a top ten player
in the league according to like every publication that does
best players in the league. He's still top ten player
headed into his twenty third season, which is insane. Really,
(01:25):
crinzanees need to be studied by medical science. For instance,
Kobe Bryant went into his twentieth season as the ninety
third ranked player in the NBA. Lebron's going to his
twenty third season still a top ten player, but for
the first time in his career, not the best player
on his team, because that's Luka Dancik is the best
player on the team. Interesting to watch that just came
(01:47):
across this. Barry Weiss has six giant bodyguards she has
to travel with because she gets so many death threats
from lefties.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
She's a lesbian.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
She's a pro choice lesbian, yes, but she's not far
out there enough for the left, and she has to
travel with bodyguards. That's the world we live in, though.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, I want to talk more about that.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
The New York Times with a big piece saying, hey,
moderate America is where the Democratic Party has to be.
You are killing yourself. We are killing ourselves. We need
to do something. I thought it was quite notable. Oh,
coming up, by the way, Yesterday's the Great Feminization Discussion.
(02:32):
Reading parts of that brilliant essay by Helen Andrews made,
as we suspected, a hell of an impression on you,
good people. A lot of folks writing terrific interesting emails
about that controversial topic. We'll touch on that at the
bottom of this hour. Please do stay tunes really interesting stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, if you didn't hear that and you want to
hear some of it today, it's really interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Well and grab yesterday's podcast, the twenty first of October,
our two of the Show'll here the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
This is not important to anything but Luigi Mangioni, the
scumbag murderer who happens to be handsome. Details came out
yesterday for some reason from his court case where he
admitted to getting beaten up by seven lady boys in
Thailand a couple of months before.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He murdered the United Healthcare CEO.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
He got beaten up by These are his words, seven
lady boys in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Wow, Well that's a rough night. I certainly I don't
know what he was up to at that night and
how things got out of hand.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
And how did he get on the wrong side of
the aforementioned lbe male right, the transsexual Well, lady boys
his words not the term of well, that's the term
of art in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Okay, what am I going to be?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Some belligerate Western white man to tell the tie how
to refer to their transsexuals. No, certainly not right man
splaining to lady boys what they should be called.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's not appropriate. Exactly that would be inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I just saw LA Times headline that because attendance is
having such a problem with schools nationwide in California too,
with kids showing up to school. I mean, like the
the numbers are unlike anything that's ever happened, the number
of kids that don't show up to school on a
regular basis. They're now advocating go to school with a
cough or sneeze, you got to come to school. And yeah,
(04:35):
I don't remember skipping school every time I had a
cold when I was a kid, but we kind of
got into that habit with the COVID and some schools
still suggest that so ain't gonna work.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yeah, you got a fever over X, stay home if
you don't go to school.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I wish I would engage a woman.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yesterday, I'm waiting at the stoplight on my bike for
the light to change. We have bike lights in the
town I live in, so particular bike light to go
across anyway. College girl walks up to me. She's walking
along in the bike path and then she gets up
to the crowd. She pulls up her mask before she
gets to us standing there, and when are you doing
I'd like to ask you what specifically you think you're doing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That has truly become a religious garment God. I mean,
Jews understand that the yamulka does not function serve like
an actual physical function. It is a symbol of respect
before God.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's a little black cat. It's a little cap.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah that's not always black, but yeah, what keeps to
that on your head?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I've always wondered that I see that. How's that not
falling offby pin? I don't know, I don't know anyway,
that's it's a symbol. The mask has become a quasi
religious symbol earlier. And then I wanted to bring this up.
If you're into re well, this is not about reading.
This is about a change in culture. I was shocked
by this yesterday. So, uh, I read the New York
(06:01):
Times book review every weekend, and I'm on their mailing list,
and so they send me this thing about new books
that they're reviewing, and they were reviewing this book called
Shattered Dreams Infinite Hope, And it's about how the history
books that we have been reading and talking about for
the past several decades are way too rosy and optimistic
(06:23):
about the civil rights era and what it accomplished, and
a reckoning needs to happen. And they specifically mentioned Taylor
Branch's award winning multi volume narrative of Martin Luther King Junior,
which I have touted on this show for years because
I read them won Pulitzer Prize Barack Obama's favorite books.
They actually mentioned Barack Obama being part of the Rosie
(06:43):
cover up of how Far We've Not Come and Civil
Rights on this player. And so now you have the
New York Times reviewing books, saying that multiple prize winning
books about the civil rights era that lefties loved back
when they came out.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean the left loved these books. He was on
c Span all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And again, Barack Obama given the Medal of Freedom and
all these different sorts of that is now seen as
trying to whitewash history. And we need a new book
to tell you how things are still horrible in this
country with civil.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Rights so obvious that what they're doing. Go ahead, I'll
I'll just read a little bit here.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
The author Terry traces this classic story of the movement
from Taylor Branch's award winning book published in nineteen eighty
eight to President Obama's invocations of black freedom struggles is
symbolic of the possibility of national unity. How dare Barack
Obama claim that we are a country that can show
national unity? The romance of civil rights, the mythic arc
(07:46):
of deliverance and moral progress has lost its grip terry
rights and going to try to straighten everybody out. The
fact that The New York Times took that book seriously
and reviewed it. That troubles me is that the direction
we're headed now, we're going to claim that that never happened.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Wow, that well, it's obvious. What's happening. From a political
point of view. The true history of the twentieth century
is that black families were making enormous progress economically, educationally,
in terms of their civil rights. That was turbocharged during
the Civil Rights movement. And if it were not four
(08:25):
the liberal policies of LBJ, among others, the Great Society
and all of that, I think the black family would
be in a vastly, vastly better spot right now. I mean,
like unrecognizably great. You're crappy inner city schools that the teachers'
union's control. None of that would be happening because strong, intact,
(08:48):
empowered black families wouldn't be having it. Having said that,
there's been enormous progress, how can you radicalize black people
if they've made tremendous progress in the greatest country for
their aspirations that will ever exist.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You can't. So you have to.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Convince them that this is a miserable hell hole and
they don't have a chance.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
That's the motivation of these people.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I I don't think it has to be Black Americans.
There's plenty of white Americans. Are all colors who like
to be part of that self hating America sucks crowd.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh yeah yeah. And it's not just radicals and Marxists
to pitch that. It's, as we've said many times, to
be a progressive, self hatred is completely required. I just
I mean, it's not like optional or one of the
qualities you must bring to the table.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You must have that to be accepted.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Saw that out of my son's history teacher when he
was briefly in that class. We don't need to belabor this.
I just want to put this on your radar that
I think there's a possibility to turn is going to
happen to where Martin Luther King Junior is seen as
kind of a sellout squish as opposed to what he
was all the time I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Wow, Yeah, nice job, Good luck lefties. Hey, here's some
advice for you. There are new scams and hacks and
cyber scaries coming up every single day.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's hard to keep track.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
That's why you need to take a look at Webroot
Total Protection.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah. Man, it's tough to protect yourself these days. I mean,
on your own, you gotta worry about everything you click
on and every call you get and everything like that.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You can protect yourself with Webroot Total Protection.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
They're all in one solution offers lightning fast anti virus,
identity theft protection, a secure VPN, unlimited cloud backup, and
with Webroot you're covered from every single out angle and

twenty four to seven US based customer support.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So you can rest easy knowing you are in good hands.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Change your October from cyber scary to CyberSecure with sixty
percent off webroot Total Protection. At webroot dot com, slash
armstrong has sixty percent off for a limited time, but
only when you go to web root dot com slash armstrong.
Don't wait, webroot dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
This story Joe had yesterday about the feminization of America
that doesn't it's not like, doesn't sound like it doesn't
turn out to be like what I just said there,
but and on all the tentacles that go from that,
definitely worth sticking around for. Very very interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, looking forward to the email reaction for that. I'm
trying to find where's that New York Times piece I referenced?
Uh yeah, And it's funny. These institutions are sprawling, like
the New York Times. So you know I just mentioned here,
it is in front of me. The title of this
piece is, oh, you got to scroll through all their graphics,
which are cool, but the partisans are wrong. Moving to
(11:43):
the center is the way to win. The editorial board
of the New York Times desperate to point that out.
But over there in the book reviews section they're touting,
you know, something that Karl Marx himself could have written. There.
They're big, sprawling institutions. But I don't want to get
too optimistic. But there are increasing signs.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean there are.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
For instance, there are Democratic senators who have spoken even
like to the Free Beacon, which is well known conservative publication,
talking to him off the record, saying, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We got to settle this. This government shutdown. This is silly.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
The solution is obvious, it's sitting there. We want to
do it, but we'll get murdered by our left flank.
And I think more and more Democrats are realizing, hey,
we got to stand.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Up against these people or were doomed. I hope that's
the truth.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
So you don't want your kid to be a genius,
you really don't. Got an example of that coming up.
Trump has said no to another Putin meeting. I heard,
you know, the NBA season starting. I heard the most
amazing story from Shaq yesterday is actually on one of
the talk shows. That a good story for everybody. Really,
among other things on the way stay here.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
On the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Jimmy added drag Queen on
to read books to kids.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
No surprise, many many parents were really.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Upset that the show would expose children to Jimmy Kimmel.
The kids later said I couldn't tell if it was
a man or a woman, and the drag queen was
creepy too.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow, why did Kimmel claim me who was having drag
queens on?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I think he was trying to be a good progressive
and show that drag queen's dancing in front of little
children is just fine.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I've never, as I've said a bunch of times, I
just have never been able to wrap my head around
how this drag queen thing got going and became a fight.
I mean, who decided this is something we need for
what reason? Radical gender theorists want to erase the line.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Between men and women? Say there's fifty five to those people.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But the parents of the school, they didn't say, why
were we having drag queens in the library?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
What is the point there?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's well, yeah, you're you're asking people to think, and
a lot of people don't think. They don't look at
at questions through a lens of truth or provability. They
look at it through the lens of acceptance. If I
agree with this, will I be accepted? Is this what
(14:24):
I'm supposed to say?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I was almost late getting back in the room I'm
assists male and I just went over to the restroom
and do you ever have the thing where you're when
you put your zipper down and the little flap gets
turned down and it kind of gets tucked into your
pants and you can't.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Get grab the yeah, like to handle.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Does that happen to girls too, Katie, Yes, that happenstas
why then the little thing was turned down?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I couldn't figure out. So I was standing in there.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I thought I either got to be I gotta either
go walk out with my fly down and be mocked,
or uh, figure out how to get this fly out.
But luckily I was able to grab it. That reminds
me one of my most embarrassing stories ever happened in
my life.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Gladys.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I was a shy eighteen year old headed off to
orientation for college.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And the.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Woman that came to pick me up at my house,
I think, and took me to the college and showed
me around and everything like that. She was just blindingly hot,
I mean, just ridiculously and cute and nice and everything
like that. And she's like twenty years old or something. Anyway,
I was just I was kind of nervous being around her.
At all, and I'd been around her all day long.
(15:32):
And she shows me the dorms and I'm walking through
one of the dorms rooms and one of the college
guys comes over me and says, Hey, just want to
let you know your flies down. My fly had been
down the entire time. I'm trying to be the cool guy. Hey,
maybe you never know. I Oh God, that was horrifying.
It was so deflating. I'm not ready for college. I
thought to myself, Hey, can't.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Even zip up your pants. Can't even I got just
this morning, oh by myself. Yeah, exactly. Oh that was horrifying.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I forgot to mention the giant python hunt that's going
on in the Everglades.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I wish I could be.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I think I could shoot a snake. I'm not a
hunter like I. We're at a restaurant the other night
that had animals on the walls. I was looking at
the elk or whatever, and I thought, I just could
not shoot that standing there in a field. I have
no interest in doing that. I know some of the
good friends who are her hunters. I don't quite get that,
but invasive species.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Percent I could shoot a snake pretty easily. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I don't know if you remember this happened, but in
nineteen ninety two a hurricane blew apart a python breeding
operation and released a bunch of giant pythons, and they
have taken over the Everglades. And so every year they
have a giant python a giant giant python hunt, and
they make a big deal out of at Florida style,
And there is Governor DeSantis there with his python football
(16:52):
that he like throws in the air to officially start
the hunt. And everybody goes out and starts shooting pythons,
and people are shitting off guns everywhere, and they show
up a couple of guys here with whipping enormous pythons
at their feet that they killed.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I mean, just yeah, crazy, like it's out of Jurassic Park, huge, right, right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, you know, do I have bloodlust that I don't
want to recognize in myself. I want to hunt invasive species.
I would take delight in helping.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I think it's a good thing. It's helping the environment.
We should not have pythons, any of them in the
Everglades are natural.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Do you get to keep the skin? Like I could
make a pair of boots out of it, or cool
pants or something like that.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Cool, or an entire suit, an entire python skin snakeskin suit.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm a single guy and that'd be a good look. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh Jack the guy wears snakeskin suits. Oh yeah, he's fantastic. Yeah,
he's got a closet full of them. I guess he
did the Florida pythons zippers off and down. But nice personality.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Joe explained why everything is wrong in America yesterday. If
you didn't hear it, it's a reef and capitalization. It's
the great feminization of the US. We'll we'll recap it
very quickly and then get to folks reaction via email.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Really good stuff. Stick around if you can't subscribe to
the podcast Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
How do you say, because I can't remember? M a
t c cha the drink that hipsters drink. Oh macha,
it's macha. Yeah, I keep saying matcha macha?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
What the hell is like?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
The way you say that sounds like a good Midwestern
tough guy drink in your matcha.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
What the hell is macha? It doesn't have those little
bit disgusting We don't have time for a matcha. It
does have a little disgusting balls in the bottom, does it, though.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, it's just finally ground green tea. That's bobo. Yeah, yeah,
those are gross.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
So yesterday we read you a great deal of Helen
Andrew's amazing essay The Great Feminization, the basic premise of
which is that, because of the differentferences between men and
women on average, the way we organize, the way we
process things, et cetera, the US's incredibly unique experiment in
(19:12):
putting women in charge of many of our institutions is
essentially the explanation for a lot of what wokeness is
and a lot of the damage it's doing. Is she writes,
everything you think of wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over
the masculine, empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition,
(19:34):
and cohesion over free speech and clashing ideas and that
sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
If you missed it yesterday, certainly encourage you to grab.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yesterday's Armstrong and Getting on Demand podcast was hour two,
like three quarters of the entire hour, so anyway, and
also we posted the essay for you under yesterday's hot Links.
The Great feminization. We got a lot of email, a
lot of it. Here's Melinda and Idah. I appreciate your
bravery and ethics and sharing the great feminization essay on
(20:05):
today's show. I'm gonna stop you right there, Melinda, much
as my ego likes the idea of being a courageous
warrior for whatever, zero pushback, zero, not even a single
(20:25):
control or woman or easily offended saying hey, I found
that whole thing sexist.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
No pushback in stacks.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Of emails from women saying yes, yes, yes, interesting, yeah, indeed,
anyway I read on. I am a woman who has
worked in hr and administration both large and small businesses
over the last thirty five years. I agree with you
Summer's the Larry Summer's story and the fact shared in
the essay based on my experience in the workplace. It's
(20:53):
also true in communities, government's family structure, and any organized function.
We operate best as humans with a balance of masculine
and feminine attributes and play with each operating in their
own place. Thank you for being stout and willing to
withstand the s you're gonna take for broadcasting that never
stop yelling it from the rooftop.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Wow, how interesting is that? Expecting to get all kinds
of pushback and we didn't.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know, it could be that we just don't have
enough like hardcore progressives listening. But they'd be tough to
change their minds anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I just.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
What I'm hoping to do here is help us all
understand what's happening, because you can't get good stuff to
happen and prevent bad stuff from happening if you have
a fundamental misunderstanding what's happening. So anyway, reading on, Frank writes, guys,
keep in mind, Larry Summers was not fired from Harvard
(21:49):
for saying men and women have different innate abilities in
stem fields.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
In fact, that question in his complex. As you'd imagine,
he was.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Fired simply for saying the possibility was worth conittering when
trying to understand the statistical underrepresent representation of women in
stem fields.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's how over the top the reaction was.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
He was saying to a bunch of scientists, let's be scientific,
and he was crucified.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
For it, lost his job.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And you quoted that, and he's a solid as lefty
as you can get, and you had to quote from
that biology professor saying they could barely breathe when they
heard Larry Summers.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It made me sick.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Say here, that's sort of bias, right, yeah, an emotional
reaction from alnonymous because this could probably get me fired
or in trouble. He's been listening to the show for
a long time, thanks to my friend. I'm a fighter
firefighter emt in a medium sized city. Every year for
the last number of years, our physical standard has been
lowered because too many female applicants failed during the hiring process.
(22:51):
Our physical agility test is a time test, he explains
it originally a seven minute test has now been increased
to a ten minute timeframe with the sole purpose of
trying to hire more women. And there lies the problem.
He goes into some detail. There lies the problem with
changing standards in the name of diversity and inclusion. You
get a workforce full of underqualified personnel who have otherwise
(23:15):
wouldn't otherwise have been hired. And he's responding to the
point that Ms Andrews makes in her essay that it's
an entirely one sided set of standards. You must have
x number of women or you will be sued, and
that's incredibly expensive and so organizations have aired to the
(23:36):
other side because nobody sues for lack of men, not
at this point, and so you have a fire department
that has to bend at standards to accommodate that. Moving along,
super interesting, guys, writes Mannonymous.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
We see it in schools, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Most principles are females, and the traditional male role of
vice principal. Discipline has all but been eliminated completely.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
This is from.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I knew because I had my kids in school that
discipline has been more or less eliminated completely from public schools,
but I hadn't put two and two together to figure
out why.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
That's really interesting. Let's see.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Anna writes, thanks for covering, thank you, Thank you for
covering the great Feminization at length was an excellent, exceptional
hour of radio.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
In my opinion, it's the best explanation for what is
continuing to go wrong in business in law today. Every
American adult needs to hear or read this. High school
and college students too. She's listening to it for the
second time as she writes, let's see Todd from San Diego.
He says some various things about the show. Thanks Todd,
(24:45):
You did a great job conveying the dangers of excessive
feminization when it comes to politics, law, the culture, etc.
My field is religion, and I can tell you that
a parallel phenomenon can be observed in that area. In
the Western world, at least, Christianity has often struggled to
balance the mass and the feminine. Christian spirituality is often
put in feminine terms. The Bible says that God is
a father and a groom, and that believers are brides,
(25:07):
and that we should be receptive and passive to God's
action in our lives. For this reason, in others, even
if Christianity has been largely run by male clergy, historically
it's regular practitioners and middle managers have been majority female.
It's mothers who teach religion and home. There's a reason
we say church lady and not church dude, then, he says.
In the second half of the twentieth century, the male
female balance got especially out of whack, affecting not just
(25:29):
church attendants but doctrine and morality. Christianity and liberal Judaism
became less and less about hard doctrines, intellectual contemplation, and
heroic practice, all of which attract men. And more about emotions, relationships,
and self fulfillment. As we would expect, this feminization perpetuating itself,
causing men to shy away from religion as something girly
(25:49):
and making women even more disproportionately represented in all sorts
of areas witnessed the new female Archbishop of Canterbury and
her woke views that would be barely recognizable to Christian
of a generation ago. That's really interesting. Oh, this is
a little snarky and I don't appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
My new room for that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
On this show October twenty first, twenty twenty five, a
historic first for feminism, the Louver Museum's first female security chief,
hired by their first female director, becomes the first woman
to lose the French Crown jewels.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Let's see you good with a little more of this, Jack,
and I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Sorry, you didn't want anybody man splaining how to lock
the windows? Is that what happened there at the Louver
can verify the great feminization? As a male grad student, right,
so we'll call him Joe. Anonymous longtime listener. I listened
to our two of the show at the insistence of
(26:51):
my wife and mom.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Wow. Both of whom also love to tune in.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
My wife especially wanted me to listen as she and
I talked about how femini in hostile academia has become
towards conservatives and men in general, after having had our
own experiences with the great ivory towers of the world.
You know, this may be the most interesting aspect of
this is that the most enthusiastic reactions and cheerleading for
(27:16):
both the essay and are discussing yesterday have been women
or have come from women.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, that's uh. You know, I was led into this.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago this woman that
I know who's she has, She's raised three daughters, and
she said, you know, the problem with our politics is
all the women. There's just too many crazy women. And
started getting to various these sorts of things from a woman.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Who's raised three women, right jo Anonymous uh tell us
a little bit about his background. Then he said he's
going to a master's program in California. He says, many
times I come home from classes frustrated and demoralized because
of the complete inability of many of my cohorts to
engage in reasonable and rational dialogue.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Several times.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
When attempt to point out that, in fact, the levels
of racism today are not the same as those experienced
by slaves and during the Holocaust, as was an opinion
actually promoted by teachers and students, I was shouted down
by more than several angry women. Their language is aggressive,
but not the more masculine violent type of aggression. No,
(28:19):
it is commentary that belittles, maligns, and insults and then excludes,
as miss Andrews wrote, more feminine by nature of its
social targeting nature and greater difficulty in resolving. Well, they
didn't want to resolve the difference in opinion. They just
wanted to ostracize you for having a difference in opinion.
(28:40):
In the past two weeks alone, I've had lectures from
my professors telling me that men and maleness will ultimately
lead to rape and sexual assault inevitably. And he goes
into a bunch of more examples.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Here's Josh from Kentucky. Just listened, very insightful and interesting.
Oh my gosh, this might be my well, not my
favorite because they're all great, but listen to this, dads, please.
I wish I had heard this when I was a dad.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Of young kids.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I wanted to share something I did with my older
son after hearing an interview you guys did with the
author of a book about how men are disappearing in America,
and one of the points he made was how we
don't have a strong tradition of rights of passage in
our culture today. That's funny. I don't remember who that
was who that interview was. Anyway, if I can figure
it out, or if you remember letting us know, I'll
(29:34):
dig it up. That interview really inspired me to be
proactive and intentional with my kids. I have two boys
and two girls, and I wrestled with the idea of
rights of passage and what I could do.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
With my kids.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I found out I was part Jewish and number of
years ago through twenty three and me and looked into
what bar mitzvahs are. I love the idea of having
an event to signify a change in vision for the
kid becoming a boy from a boy to a man,
or in the case of a girl, from a girl
to a woman the bot mit fall. But I wasn't
going to have an actual bar mitzvah. Here's here's the
brilliant part. The Bible talks about iron sharpening. Iron men
(30:09):
need to challenge other men. So I came up with
the idea of selecting three men that I highly respect
to have one on one conversations with my son, who's
about to turn thirteen years old. Each individual talked about
their experiences in life and what it means to be
a man. The whole event really had an impact on him,
and I plan on doing the same thing with my
second son when he turns thirteen, having my wife do
(30:32):
the same with our two girls. Josh from Kentucky, That's
one of the best ideas I've ever heard.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, that's pretty good. Love that barmits do is a
pretty good idea. Just the concept of okay, you know,
because my kids are there, things are changing now. You're
no longer a little kid. This is what the world
expects out of you.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Now. That's pretty good, right.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I remember being told several times as a kid. It's funny.
It just popped back into my mind. And my dad
traveled a fairmount for his job when I was a
little kid, and I remember being told several times by
various people, all right, your dad's away for a week.
You're the man of the house now, and of course
whatever age I was, it was, you know, slightly ridiculous,
but it made me stop and thinks desserts for everybody, right,
(31:17):
well start with dessert. But it made me think, okay,
what does that mean? I need to be alert and
help have our family do what families do. And that
was not that was I felt honored by that as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That suggests women can't do it is what it suggests.
I took really well crafted sarcasm there.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I respect that a couple more real quick Anonymous Rights
loved the whole discussion.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Thank you. It rings true.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You see it in CBS hiring Barry Wise, she has
the masculine quality of holding people to accountability and truth. Likewise,
my aerospace engineer daughter is rocketed up the latter because
she is a woman with masculine qualities. The company needs
straightforward engineers as well as women. They're hard to find.
She complains about some of the subpar women she interviews
and tries not to hire they get multiple interviews, and
(32:12):
the outstanding men who aren't hired. She works with a
government contractor who is constantly asking her why she doesn't
have more women on her team. At the same time,
complimenting her for the speed in which she gets projects done.
She comments on the weird fixation by the government overseer
who thinks she is sexist as a woman. The one
thing that saves her is how racially diverse her department is.
(32:35):
She does have two great women on a team.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Why do we care about this at all? I hire
the best people first of all.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I also don't think you should say your aerospace engineer
daughter rocketed.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Up the ladder. I don't like. I disagree. I think
that's perfect.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
And finally, this from a frequent correspondent and great correspondent
twenty years school marm, it would be interesting to note
the difference in gender of school administration in administrators from
ten to fifteen, twenty years ago to today. Woke curriculum
decisions and discipline policies are directly related to the fact
that more and more schools are now led by the
(33:07):
ladies as we turn away from having true disciplinarians in
our head offices and toward being led by pseudo school psychologists.
So no wonder that our students are suffering from the
soft bigotry of low expectations. As a merit loving free
speech enthusiast and longtime teacher. I'm often the lone voice
speaking up for accountability and consequences when working through a
situation with other staff members. Many times I've left discussions
(33:30):
thinking they must think I'm the meanest old lady that
ever lived. Lest we forget the root meeting of the
word discipline is to teach onward. I suppose let's hear
it for the voice twenty year school marm one of
a chorus of women who said, a men, good stuff there.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
And if you want to comment on that again, you
know you know where to reach us text line and
email and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
It's a heck of a topic. More on the way,
stay here.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
I'm I want to make sure that kids meet me
in no DAL show Natal, Dal shall not lie, Dal
shall not cheap, because then you dal shall avoid going
to prison.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
George Santos, now that he's out of prison, is going
to help the next generation of kids not lie. He claims, Uh,
we'll delve into well. When I think of a mentor
for my kids, I think that George Santos. Because George
Santos voted Republican Trump Community Sentence, and he is out
of jail now.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He went on to say this, I've gone.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Down into ball of flame with the self destructive nature.
I look back at some of my past statements and behavior.
I'm absolutely embarrassed. I was so caught up with grief
and anger and hate. And it's part of my journey
is to accept that this is my own doing, and
it's going to take me to show them through action
that I'm much better than my past.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's all for the child.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Okay, you're a con man in the con continues, this
is the latest shape of it.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Trump, while commuting his sentence, was inexcusable.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
He's mentally ill. I don't I don't you know. I
think his brain didn't work right. But so it will
revisit his lies briefly. I got a long list of
the claimed to be a star college volleyball player. He
never attended that college. She never played volleyball. He wasn't
the star of the team that helped them win a
state championship. I mean, that's one of the most hilarious
lies I've ever heard anybody ever tell that he claimed to.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Be a volleyball player because he wants to wear those
little shorts.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
He claimed his company lost a tearfully claimed in an
interview one time that his company lost four employees in
the Pulse night club shooting that never happened.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
He did have.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
A charity one time called Friends of Pets United, trying
to raise money, but he all he did was steal
the three thousand dollars it raised for a homeless Navy
vets service dogs life saving surgery.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
He stole the money.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
He claimed his grandparents were that he was Jewish and
that his grandparents were Holocaust survivors. He's not Jewish, and therefore,
obviously his parents did not survived the Holocaust. Didn't he say, well,
I'm jew It After he got caught he said that,
Yet he said, well I met Jewish. He was Wall
Street whiz Goldman. Sachs managed eighty million dollars in a portfolio.
He never worked there at all. He produced the Broadway
(36:02):
musical Spider Man. He didn't have anything to do with
it whatsoever. His mother died in nine to eleven in
one of the World Trade Center buildings. She did not
she is alive and well in another country. And it
goes on and on.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
It is just complete. And he graduated at the top
of his class.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Oh no, that was Joe Biden. Sorry, complete, good one,
completely crazy. Okay, we got more on the way. If
you missed a segment of the podcast
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and
Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's right, after more than twenty years, the NBA is
finally back on NBC. One of my favorite players is
the Spurs seven foot five inch French superstar Victor Webin Yama.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Wendy. In fact, his.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Defense is so good France Assassin Toguard the louver.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Afray. Everyone is pumped. The NBA is back.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The fans in Sacramento are yelling got Kings where everyone
else is chanting no Kings.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And so I just wanted to mention that's going to
be the playoffs. No Kings. Ooh, no kidding.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
For Lebron haters out there, he is starting his twenty
third season as of last night. Unprecedented, nobody's ever done
that before. Yeah, and he's still a top ten player
in the league according to like every publication that does
best players in the league. He's still top ten player
headed into his twenty third season, which is insane. Really,
(01:25):
crinzanees need to be studied by medical science. For instance,
Kobe Bryant went into his twentieth season as the ninety
third ranked player in the NBA. Lebron's going to his
twenty third season still a top ten player, but for
the first time in his career, not the best player
on his team, because that's Luka Dancik is the best
player on the team. Interesting to watch that just came
(01:47):
across this. Barry Weiss has six giant bodyguards she has
to travel with because she gets so many death threats
from lefties.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
She's a lesbian.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
She's a pro choice lesbian, yes, but she's not far
out there enough for the left, and she has to
travel with bodyguards. That's the world we live in, though.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, I want to talk more about that.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
The New York Times with a big piece saying, hey,
moderate America is where the Democratic Party has to be.
You are killing yourself. We are killing ourselves. We need
to do something. I thought it was quite notable. Oh,
coming up, by the way, Yesterday's the Great Feminization Discussion.
(02:32):
Reading parts of that brilliant essay by Helen Andrews made,
as we suspected, a hell of an impression on you,
good people. A lot of folks writing terrific interesting emails
about that controversial topic. We'll touch on that at the
bottom of this hour. Please do stay tunes really interesting stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, if you didn't hear that and you want to
hear some of it today, it's really interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Well and grab yesterday's podcast, the twenty first of October,
our two of the Show'll here the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
This is not important to anything but Luigi Mangioni, the
scumbag murderer who happens to be handsome. Details came out
yesterday for some reason from his court case where he
admitted to getting beaten up by seven lady boys in
Thailand a couple of months before.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He murdered the United Healthcare CEO.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
He got beaten up by These are his words, seven
lady boys in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Wow, Well that's a rough night. I certainly I don't
know what he was up to at that night and
how things got out of hand.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
And how did he get on the wrong side of
the aforementioned lbe male right, the transsexual Well, lady boys
his words not the term of well, that's the term
of art in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Okay, what am I going to be?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Some belligerate Western white man to tell the tie how
to refer to their transsexuals. No, certainly not right man
splaining to lady boys what they should be called.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's not appropriate. Exactly that would be inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I just saw LA Times headline that because attendance is
having such a problem with schools nationwide in California too,
with kids showing up to school. I mean, like the
the numbers are unlike anything that's ever happened, the number
of kids that don't show up to school on a
regular basis. They're now advocating go to school with a
cough or sneeze, you got to come to school. And yeah,
(04:35):
I don't remember skipping school every time I had a
cold when I was a kid, but we kind of
got into that habit with the COVID and some schools
still suggest that so ain't gonna work.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yeah, you got a fever over X, stay home if
you don't go to school.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I wish I would engage a woman.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yesterday, I'm waiting at the stoplight on my bike for
the light to change. We have bike lights in the
town I live in, so particular bike light to go
across anyway. College girl walks up to me. She's walking
along in the bike path and then she gets up
to the crowd. She pulls up her mask before she
gets to us standing there, and when are you doing
I'd like to ask you what specifically you think you're doing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That has truly become a religious garment God. I mean,
Jews understand that the yamulka does not function serve like
an actual physical function. It is a symbol of respect
before God.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's a little black cat. It's a little cap.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah that's not always black, but yeah, what keeps to
that on your head?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I've always wondered that I see that. How's that not
falling offby pin? I don't know, I don't know anyway,
that's it's a symbol. The mask has become a quasi
religious symbol earlier. And then I wanted to bring this up.
If you're into re well, this is not about reading.
This is about a change in culture. I was shocked
by this yesterday. So, uh, I read the New York
(06:01):
Times book review every weekend, and I'm on their mailing list,
and so they send me this thing about new books
that they're reviewing, and they were reviewing this book called
Shattered Dreams Infinite Hope, And it's about how the history
books that we have been reading and talking about for
the past several decades are way too rosy and optimistic
(06:23):
about the civil rights era and what it accomplished, and
a reckoning needs to happen. And they specifically mentioned Taylor
Branch's award winning multi volume narrative of Martin Luther King Junior,
which I have touted on this show for years because
I read them won Pulitzer Prize Barack Obama's favorite books.
They actually mentioned Barack Obama being part of the Rosie
(06:43):
cover up of how Far We've Not Come and Civil
Rights on this player. And so now you have the
New York Times reviewing books, saying that multiple prize winning
books about the civil rights era that lefties loved back
when they came out.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean the left loved these books. He was on
c Span all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And again, Barack Obama given the Medal of Freedom and
all these different sorts of that is now seen as
trying to whitewash history. And we need a new book
to tell you how things are still horrible in this
country with civil.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Rights so obvious that what they're doing. Go ahead, I'll
I'll just read a little bit here.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
The author Terry traces this classic story of the movement
from Taylor Branch's award winning book published in nineteen eighty
eight to President Obama's invocations of black freedom struggles is
symbolic of the possibility of national unity. How dare Barack
Obama claim that we are a country that can show
national unity? The romance of civil rights, the mythic arc
(07:46):
of deliverance and moral progress has lost its grip terry
rights and going to try to straighten everybody out. The
fact that The New York Times took that book seriously
and reviewed it. That troubles me is that the direction
we're headed now, we're going to claim that that never happened.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Wow, that well, it's obvious. What's happening. From a political
point of view. The true history of the twentieth century
is that black families were making enormous progress economically, educationally,
in terms of their civil rights. That was turbocharged during
the Civil Rights movement. And if it were not four
(08:25):
the liberal policies of LBJ, among others, the Great Society
and all of that, I think the black family would
be in a vastly, vastly better spot right now. I mean,
like unrecognizably great. You're crappy inner city schools that the teachers'
union's control. None of that would be happening because strong, intact,
(08:48):
empowered black families wouldn't be having it. Having said that,
there's been enormous progress, how can you radicalize black people
if they've made tremendous progress in the greatest country for
their aspirations that will ever exist.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You can't. So you have to.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Convince them that this is a miserable hell hole and
they don't have a chance.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
That's the motivation of these people.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I I don't think it has to be Black Americans.
There's plenty of white Americans. Are all colors who like
to be part of that self hating America sucks crowd.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh yeah yeah. And it's not just radicals and Marxists
to pitch that. It's, as we've said many times, to
be a progressive, self hatred is completely required. I just
I mean, it's not like optional or one of the
qualities you must bring to the table.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You must have that to be accepted.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Saw that out of my son's history teacher when he
was briefly in that class. We don't need to belabor this.
I just want to put this on your radar that
I think there's a possibility to turn is going to
happen to where Martin Luther King Junior is seen as
kind of a sellout squish as opposed to what he
was all the time I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Wow, Yeah, nice job, Good luck lefties. Hey, here's some
advice for you. There are new scams and hacks and
cyber scaries coming up every single day.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's hard to keep track.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
That's why you need to take a look at Webroot
Total Protection.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah. Man, it's tough to protect yourself these days. I mean,
on your own, you gotta worry about everything you click
on and every call you get and everything like that.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You can protect yourself with Webroot Total Protection.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
They're all in one solution offers lightning fast anti virus,
identity theft protection, a secure VPN, unlimited cloud backup, and
with Webroot you're covered from every single out angle and
up to one million dollars in fraud expense reimbursement and
twenty four to seven US based customer support.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So you can rest easy knowing you are in good hands.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Change your October from cyber scary to CyberSecure with sixty
percent off webroot Total Protection. At webroot dot com, slash
armstrong has sixty percent off for a limited time, but
only when you go to web root dot com slash armstrong.
Don't wait, webroot dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
This story Joe had yesterday about the feminization of America
that doesn't it's not like, doesn't sound like it doesn't
turn out to be like what I just said there,
but and on all the tentacles that go from that,
definitely worth sticking around for. Very very interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, looking forward to the email reaction for that. I'm
trying to find where's that New York Times piece I referenced?
Uh yeah, And it's funny. These institutions are sprawling, like
the New York Times. So you know I just mentioned here,
it is in front of me. The title of this
piece is, oh, you got to scroll through all their graphics,
which are cool, but the partisans are wrong. Moving to
(11:43):
the center is the way to win. The editorial board
of the New York Times desperate to point that out.
But over there in the book reviews section they're touting,
you know, something that Karl Marx himself could have written. There.
They're big, sprawling institutions. But I don't want to get
too optimistic. But there are increasing signs.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean there are.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
For instance, there are Democratic senators who have spoken even
like to the Free Beacon, which is well known conservative publication,
talking to him off the record, saying, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We got to settle this. This government shutdown. This is silly.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
The solution is obvious, it's sitting there. We want to
do it, but we'll get murdered by our left flank.
And I think more and more Democrats are realizing, hey,
we got to stand.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Up against these people or were doomed. I hope that's
the truth.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
So you don't want your kid to be a genius,
you really don't. Got an example of that coming up.
Trump has said no to another Putin meeting. I heard,
you know, the NBA season starting. I heard the most
amazing story from Shaq yesterday is actually on one of
the talk shows. That a good story for everybody. Really,
among other things on the way stay here.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
On the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Jimmy added drag Queen on
to read books to kids.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
No surprise, many many parents were really.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Upset that the show would expose children to Jimmy Kimmel.
The kids later said I couldn't tell if it was
a man or a woman, and the drag queen was
creepy too.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow, why did Kimmel claim me who was having drag
queens on?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I think he was trying to be a good progressive
and show that drag queen's dancing in front of little
children is just fine.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I've never, as I've said a bunch of times, I
just have never been able to wrap my head around
how this drag queen thing got going and became a fight.
I mean, who decided this is something we need for
what reason? Radical gender theorists want to erase the line.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Between men and women? Say there's fifty five to those people.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But the parents of the school, they didn't say, why
were we having drag queens in the library?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
What is the point there?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's well, yeah, you're you're asking people to think, and
a lot of people don't think. They don't look at
at questions through a lens of truth or provability. They
look at it through the lens of acceptance. If I
agree with this, will I be accepted? Is this what
(14:24):
I'm supposed to say?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I was almost late getting back in the room I'm
assists male and I just went over to the restroom
and do you ever have the thing where you're when
you put your zipper down and the little flap gets
turned down and it kind of gets tucked into your
pants and you can't.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Get grab the yeah, like to handle.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Does that happen to girls too, Katie, Yes, that happenstas
why then the little thing was turned down?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I couldn't figure out. So I was standing in there.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I thought I either got to be I gotta either
go walk out with my fly down and be mocked,
or uh, figure out how to get this fly out.
But luckily I was able to grab it. That reminds
me one of my most embarrassing stories ever happened in
my life.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Gladys.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I was a shy eighteen year old headed off to
orientation for college.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And the.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Woman that came to pick me up at my house,
I think, and took me to the college and showed
me around and everything like that. She was just blindingly hot,
I mean, just ridiculously and cute and nice and everything
like that. And she's like twenty years old or something. Anyway,
I was just I was kind of nervous being around her.
At all, and I'd been around her all day long.
(15:32):
And she shows me the dorms and I'm walking through
one of the dorms rooms and one of the college
guys comes over me and says, Hey, just want to
let you know your flies down. My fly had been
down the entire time. I'm trying to be the cool guy. Hey,
maybe you never know. I Oh God, that was horrifying.
It was so deflating. I'm not ready for college. I
thought to myself, Hey, can't.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Even zip up your pants. Can't even I got just
this morning, oh by myself. Yeah, exactly. Oh that was horrifying.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I forgot to mention the giant python hunt that's going
on in the Everglades.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I wish I could be.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I think I could shoot a snake. I'm not a
hunter like I. We're at a restaurant the other night
that had animals on the walls. I was looking at
the elk or whatever, and I thought, I just could
not shoot that standing there in a field. I have
no interest in doing that. I know some of the
good friends who are her hunters. I don't quite get that,
but invasive species.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Percent I could shoot a snake pretty easily. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I don't know if you remember this happened, but in
nineteen ninety two a hurricane blew apart a python breeding
operation and released a bunch of giant pythons, and they
have taken over the Everglades. And so every year they
have a giant python a giant giant python hunt, and
they make a big deal out of at Florida style,
And there is Governor DeSantis there with his python football
(16:52):
that he like throws in the air to officially start
the hunt. And everybody goes out and starts shooting pythons,
and people are shitting off guns everywhere, and they show
up a couple of guys here with whipping enormous pythons
at their feet that they killed.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I mean, just yeah, crazy, like it's out of Jurassic Park, huge, right, right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, you know, do I have bloodlust that I don't
want to recognize in myself. I want to hunt invasive species.
I would take delight in helping.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I think it's a good thing. It's helping the environment.
We should not have pythons, any of them in the
Everglades are natural.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Do you get to keep the skin? Like I could
make a pair of boots out of it, or cool
pants or something like that.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Cool, or an entire suit, an entire python skin snakeskin suit.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm a single guy and that'd be a good look. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh Jack the guy wears snakeskin suits. Oh yeah, he's fantastic. Yeah,
he's got a closet full of them. I guess he
did the Florida pythons zippers off and down. But nice personality.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Joe explained why everything is wrong in America yesterday. If
you didn't hear it, it's a reef and capitalization. It's
the great feminization of the US. We'll we'll recap it
very quickly and then get to folks reaction via email.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Really good stuff. Stick around if you can't subscribe to
the podcast Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
How do you say, because I can't remember? M a
t c cha the drink that hipsters drink. Oh macha,
it's macha. Yeah, I keep saying matcha macha?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
What the hell is like?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
The way you say that sounds like a good Midwestern
tough guy drink in your matcha.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
What the hell is macha? It doesn't have those little
bit disgusting We don't have time for a matcha. It
does have a little disgusting balls in the bottom, does it, though.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, it's just finally ground green tea. That's bobo. Yeah, yeah,
those are gross.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
So yesterday we read you a great deal of Helen
Andrew's amazing essay The Great Feminization, the basic premise of
which is that, because of the differentferences between men and
women on average, the way we organize, the way we
process things, et cetera, the US's incredibly unique experiment in
(19:12):
putting women in charge of many of our institutions is
essentially the explanation for a lot of what wokeness is
and a lot of the damage it's doing. Is she writes,
everything you think of wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over
the masculine, empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition,
(19:34):
and cohesion over free speech and clashing ideas and that
sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
If you missed it yesterday, certainly encourage you to grab.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yesterday's Armstrong and Getting on Demand podcast was hour two,
like three quarters of the entire hour, so anyway, and
also we posted the essay for you under yesterday's hot Links.
The Great feminization. We got a lot of email, a
lot of it. Here's Melinda and Idah. I appreciate your
bravery and ethics and sharing the great feminization essay on
(20:05):
today's show. I'm gonna stop you right there, Melinda, much
as my ego likes the idea of being a courageous
warrior for whatever, zero pushback, zero, not even a single
(20:25):
control or woman or easily offended saying hey, I found
that whole thing sexist.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
No pushback in stacks.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Of emails from women saying yes, yes, yes, interesting, yeah, indeed,
anyway I read on. I am a woman who has
worked in hr and administration both large and small businesses
over the last thirty five years. I agree with you
Summer's the Larry Summer's story and the fact shared in
the essay based on my experience in the workplace. It's
(20:53):
also true in communities, government's family structure, and any organized function.
We operate best as humans with a balance of masculine
and feminine attributes and play with each operating in their
own place. Thank you for being stout and willing to
withstand the s you're gonna take for broadcasting that never
stop yelling it from the rooftop.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Wow, how interesting is that? Expecting to get all kinds
of pushback and we didn't.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know, it could be that we just don't have
enough like hardcore progressives listening. But they'd be tough to
change their minds anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I just.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
What I'm hoping to do here is help us all
understand what's happening, because you can't get good stuff to
happen and prevent bad stuff from happening if you have
a fundamental misunderstanding what's happening. So anyway, reading on, Frank writes, guys,
keep in mind, Larry Summers was not fired from Harvard
(21:49):
for saying men and women have different innate abilities in
stem fields.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
In fact, that question in his complex. As you'd imagine,
he was.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Fired simply for saying the possibility was worth conittering when
trying to understand the statistical underrepresent representation of women in
stem fields.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's how over the top the reaction was.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
He was saying to a bunch of scientists, let's be scientific,
and he was crucified.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
For it, lost his job.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And you quoted that, and he's a solid as lefty
as you can get, and you had to quote from
that biology professor saying they could barely breathe when they
heard Larry Summers.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It made me sick.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Say here, that's sort of bias, right, yeah, an emotional
reaction from alnonymous because this could probably get me fired
or in trouble. He's been listening to the show for
a long time, thanks to my friend. I'm a fighter
firefighter emt in a medium sized city. Every year for
the last number of years, our physical standard has been
lowered because too many female applicants failed during the hiring process.
(22:51):
Our physical agility test is a time test, he explains
it originally a seven minute test has now been increased
to a ten minute timeframe with the sole purpose of
trying to hire more women. And there lies the problem.
He goes into some detail. There lies the problem with
changing standards in the name of diversity and inclusion. You
get a workforce full of underqualified personnel who have otherwise
(23:15):
wouldn't otherwise have been hired. And he's responding to the
point that Ms Andrews makes in her essay that it's
an entirely one sided set of standards. You must have
x number of women or you will be sued, and
that's incredibly expensive and so organizations have aired to the
(23:36):
other side because nobody sues for lack of men, not
at this point, and so you have a fire department
that has to bend at standards to accommodate that. Moving along,
super interesting, guys, writes Mannonymous.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
We see it in schools, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Most principles are females, and the traditional male role of
vice principal. Discipline has all but been eliminated completely.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
This is from.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I knew because I had my kids in school that
discipline has been more or less eliminated completely from public schools,
but I hadn't put two and two together to figure
out why.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
That's really interesting. Let's see.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Anna writes, thanks for covering, thank you, Thank you for
covering the great Feminization at length was an excellent, exceptional
hour of radio.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
In my opinion, it's the best explanation for what is
continuing to go wrong in business in law today. Every
American adult needs to hear or read this. High school
and college students too. She's listening to it for the
second time as she writes, let's see Todd from San Diego.
He says some various things about the show. Thanks Todd,
(24:45):
You did a great job conveying the dangers of excessive
feminization when it comes to politics, law, the culture, etc.
My field is religion, and I can tell you that
a parallel phenomenon can be observed in that area. In
the Western world, at least, Christianity has often struggled to
balance the mass and the feminine. Christian spirituality is often
put in feminine terms. The Bible says that God is
a father and a groom, and that believers are brides,
(25:07):
and that we should be receptive and passive to God's
action in our lives. For this reason, in others, even
if Christianity has been largely run by male clergy, historically
it's regular practitioners and middle managers have been majority female.
It's mothers who teach religion and home. There's a reason
we say church lady and not church dude, then, he says.
In the second half of the twentieth century, the male
female balance got especially out of whack, affecting not just
(25:29):
church attendants but doctrine and morality. Christianity and liberal Judaism
became less and less about hard doctrines, intellectual contemplation, and
heroic practice, all of which attract men. And more about emotions, relationships,
and self fulfillment. As we would expect, this feminization perpetuating itself,
causing men to shy away from religion as something girly
(25:49):
and making women even more disproportionately represented in all sorts
of areas witnessed the new female Archbishop of Canterbury and
her woke views that would be barely recognizable to Christian
of a generation ago. That's really interesting. Oh, this is
a little snarky and I don't appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
My new room for that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
On this show October twenty first, twenty twenty five, a
historic first for feminism, the Louver Museum's first female security chief,
hired by their first female director, becomes the first woman
to lose the French Crown jewels.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Let's see you good with a little more of this, Jack,
and I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Sorry, you didn't want anybody man splaining how to lock
the windows? Is that what happened there at the Louver
can verify the great feminization? As a male grad student, right,
so we'll call him Joe. Anonymous longtime listener. I listened
to our two of the show at the insistence of
(26:51):
my wife and mom.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Wow. Both of whom also love to tune in.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
My wife especially wanted me to listen as she and
I talked about how femini in hostile academia has become
towards conservatives and men in general, after having had our
own experiences with the great ivory towers of the world.
You know, this may be the most interesting aspect of
this is that the most enthusiastic reactions and cheerleading for
(27:16):
both the essay and are discussing yesterday have been women
or have come from women.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, that's uh. You know, I was led into this.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago this woman that
I know who's she has, She's raised three daughters, and
she said, you know, the problem with our politics is
all the women. There's just too many crazy women. And
started getting to various these sorts of things from a woman.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Who's raised three women, right jo Anonymous uh tell us
a little bit about his background. Then he said he's
going to a master's program in California. He says, many
times I come home from classes frustrated and demoralized because
of the complete inability of many of my cohorts to
engage in reasonable and rational dialogue.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Several times.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
When attempt to point out that, in fact, the levels
of racism today are not the same as those experienced
by slaves and during the Holocaust, as was an opinion
actually promoted by teachers and students, I was shouted down
by more than several angry women. Their language is aggressive,
but not the more masculine violent type of aggression. No,
(28:19):
it is commentary that belittles, maligns, and insults and then excludes,
as miss Andrews wrote, more feminine by nature of its
social targeting nature and greater difficulty in resolving. Well, they
didn't want to resolve the difference in opinion. They just
wanted to ostracize you for having a difference in opinion.
(28:40):
In the past two weeks alone, I've had lectures from
my professors telling me that men and maleness will ultimately
lead to rape and sexual assault inevitably. And he goes
into a bunch of more examples.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Here's Josh from Kentucky. Just listened, very insightful and interesting.
Oh my gosh, this might be my well, not my
favorite because they're all great, but listen to this, dads, please.
I wish I had heard this when I was a dad.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Of young kids.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I wanted to share something I did with my older
son after hearing an interview you guys did with the
author of a book about how men are disappearing in America,
and one of the points he made was how we
don't have a strong tradition of rights of passage in
our culture today. That's funny. I don't remember who that
was who that interview was. Anyway, if I can figure
it out, or if you remember letting us know, I'll
(29:34):
dig it up. That interview really inspired me to be
proactive and intentional with my kids. I have two boys
and two girls, and I wrestled with the idea of
rights of passage and what I could do.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
With my kids.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I found out I was part Jewish and number of
years ago through twenty three and me and looked into
what bar mitzvahs are. I love the idea of having
an event to signify a change in vision for the
kid becoming a boy from a boy to a man,
or in the case of a girl, from a girl
to a woman the bot mit fall. But I wasn't
going to have an actual bar mitzvah. Here's here's the
brilliant part. The Bible talks about iron sharpening. Iron men
(30:09):
need to challenge other men. So I came up with
the idea of selecting three men that I highly respect
to have one on one conversations with my son, who's
about to turn thirteen years old. Each individual talked about
their experiences in life and what it means to be
a man. The whole event really had an impact on him,
and I plan on doing the same thing with my
second son when he turns thirteen, having my wife do
(30:32):
the same with our two girls. Josh from Kentucky, That's
one of the best ideas I've ever heard.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, that's pretty good. Love that barmits do is a
pretty good idea. Just the concept of okay, you know,
because my kids are there, things are changing now. You're
no longer a little kid. This is what the world
expects out of you.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Now. That's pretty good, right.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I remember being told several times as a kid. It's funny.
It just popped back into my mind. And my dad
traveled a fairmount for his job when I was a
little kid, and I remember being told several times by
various people, all right, your dad's away for a week.
You're the man of the house now, and of course
whatever age I was, it was, you know, slightly ridiculous,
but it made me stop and thinks desserts for everybody, right,
(31:17):
well start with dessert. But it made me think, okay,
what does that mean? I need to be alert and
help have our family do what families do. And that
was not that was I felt honored by that as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That suggests women can't do it is what it suggests.
I took really well crafted sarcasm there.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I respect that a couple more real quick Anonymous Rights
loved the whole discussion.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Thank you. It rings true.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You see it in CBS hiring Barry Wise, she has
the masculine quality of holding people to accountability and truth. Likewise,
my aerospace engineer daughter is rocketed up the latter because
she is a woman with masculine qualities. The company needs
straightforward engineers as well as women. They're hard to find.
She complains about some of the subpar women she interviews
and tries not to hire they get multiple interviews, and
(32:12):
the outstanding men who aren't hired. She works with a
government contractor who is constantly asking her why she doesn't
have more women on her team. At the same time,
complimenting her for the speed in which she gets projects done.
She comments on the weird fixation by the government overseer
who thinks she is sexist as a woman. The one
thing that saves her is how racially diverse her department is.
(32:35):
She does have two great women on a team.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Why do we care about this at all? I hire
the best people first of all.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I also don't think you should say your aerospace engineer
daughter rocketed.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Up the ladder. I don't like. I disagree. I think
that's perfect.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
And finally, this from a frequent correspondent and great correspondent
twenty years school marm, it would be interesting to note
the difference in gender of school administration in administrators from
ten to fifteen, twenty years ago to today. Woke curriculum
decisions and discipline policies are directly related to the fact
that more and more schools are now led by the
(33:07):
ladies as we turn away from having true disciplinarians in
our head offices and toward being led by pseudo school psychologists.
So no wonder that our students are suffering from the
soft bigotry of low expectations. As a merit loving free
speech enthusiast and longtime teacher. I'm often the lone voice
speaking up for accountability and consequences when working through a
situation with other staff members. Many times I've left discussions
(33:30):
thinking they must think I'm the meanest old lady that
ever lived. Lest we forget the root meeting of the
word discipline is to teach onward. I suppose let's hear
it for the voice twenty year school marm one of
a chorus of women who said, a men, good stuff there.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
And if you want to comment on that again, you
know you know where to reach us text line and
email and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
It's a heck of a topic. More on the way,
stay here.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
I'm I want to make sure that kids meet me
in no DAL show Natal, Dal shall not lie, Dal
shall not cheap, because then you dal shall avoid going
to prison.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
George Santos, now that he's out of prison, is going
to help the next generation of kids not lie. He claims, Uh,
we'll delve into well. When I think of a mentor
for my kids, I think that George Santos. Because George
Santos voted Republican Trump Community Sentence, and he is out
of jail now.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He went on to say this, I've gone.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Down into ball of flame with the self destructive nature.
I look back at some of my past statements and behavior.
I'm absolutely embarrassed. I was so caught up with grief
and anger and hate. And it's part of my journey
is to accept that this is my own doing, and
it's going to take me to show them through action
that I'm much better than my past.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's all for the child.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Okay, you're a con man in the con continues, this
is the latest shape of it.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Trump, while commuting his sentence, was inexcusable.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
He's mentally ill. I don't I don't you know. I
think his brain didn't work right. But so it will
revisit his lies briefly. I got a long list of
the claimed to be a star college volleyball player. He
never attended that college. She never played volleyball. He wasn't
the star of the team that helped them win a
state championship. I mean, that's one of the most hilarious
lies I've ever heard anybody ever tell that he claimed to.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Be a volleyball player because he wants to wear those
little shorts.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
He claimed his company lost a tearfully claimed in an
interview one time that his company lost four employees in
the Pulse night club shooting that never happened.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
He did have.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
A charity one time called Friends of Pets United, trying
to raise money, but he all he did was steal
the three thousand dollars it raised for a homeless Navy
vets service dogs life saving surgery.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
He stole the money.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
He claimed his grandparents were that he was Jewish and
that his grandparents were Holocaust survivors. He's not Jewish, and therefore,
obviously his parents did not survived the Holocaust. Didn't he say, well,
I'm jew It After he got caught he said that,
Yet he said, well I met Jewish. He was Wall
Street whiz Goldman. Sachs managed eighty million dollars in a portfolio.
He never worked there at all. He produced the Broadway
(36:02):
musical Spider Man. He didn't have anything to do with
it whatsoever. His mother died in nine to eleven in
one of the World Trade Center buildings. She did not
she is alive and well in another country. And it
goes on and on.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
It is just complete. And he graduated at the top
of his class.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Oh no, that was Joe Biden. Sorry, complete, good one,
completely crazy. Okay, we got more on the way. If

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
