Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Kaddy.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Jacket, he arms Strong and Eddy about
like a year ago. I guess I got back.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I got back on dope and other things, and I
wound up having a cocaine heart.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Attack, and I just was like, you know what, I
want to go home. And so I just stayed sober
long enough till I could go home. And then and
then I went home and did it.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I just wanted to get back to my old life
of like smoking weed, kind of taking some pills, like
doing whatever I wanted.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That's accused double murderer Nick Reiner twenty eighteen. There's lots
of audio of him in video because there's documentaries and
lots of interviews. Been a drug addict various times homeless,
decided to slit the throat of both his parents over
the weekend. We know that story one thing we've discussed
for several days now. Because I was looking up at
the major network newscasts and the cable newscasts at the
(01:20):
top of the hour, everybody led with some sort of
update on the story. There's nothing to learn in this
story at this point, there really hasn't been for several days.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Why why is this the lead story in America? Is
it just celebrity? Celebrity and murder?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Like those two things combined are just irresistible for.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I'm not pulled into this one particularly other than trying
to gauge how interested you all are.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Uh, but like OJ, I was super into.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Why was OJ different because the celebrity had committed the murders, right,
which is itself shocking, and there was investigation and trial
and people love that. Yeah, yeah, I actually think there
is something to be learned here, but it has nothing
to do with what the media is talking about, honestly,
(02:13):
And that's the nature of addiction. And families that have
all the resources in the world can't beat addiction.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
If the addict.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Can't, you know, get there, I don't know how would
you characterize it. You can want to get clean completely
and still fail at it, but you've got to want
to a lot and I'm not sure he did.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, there's there's a big difference between really thinking you
want to quit and actually quitting.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
What that leap is nobody really knows. Yeah, yeah, but I.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Would I would love to hear this in the context
and longtime listeners of the show under we've covered this before,
but that the idea of you've got to get them
into rehab. Yeah, for every junkie on the streets, don't
don't tell them to stop doing drugs, and don't put
them in jail. Having a disease isn't a crime. Just
give them a resource to kid into rehab.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, like listening to that clip there, just thinking that
he did have a place where he could go and
be comfortable and do drugs makes it way more likely
you're gonna continue doing drugs obviously. Yeah, Now that's not
the only answer, because you would think looking around, you know, California,
for instance, it doesn't look you know, being Rob Reiner's son,
(03:26):
hanging out at some apartment and doing drugs would probably
be pretty comfy. Living under a bridge in the cold weather,
scrounging for food, sleeping on a sidewalk doesn't look pleasant
at all. And people keep doing it, getting your stuff
stolen semi regularly.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, and you get beat up or raped and people
still do it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So I don't know, right, I agree, the biggest story
there is the addiction and what do you do about it?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
God?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
There but for the grace of God. Can you imagine
how frustrating that is? As apparents, You've got all the
money in the world, you've had all the success in
the world, and you just can't figure out of way
to force this kid, help this kid stop.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And they tried tough love, kicking them out, you know,
warm embrace, you know, enabling not enabling these dozen fifteen rehabs.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh at least, yeah, Yeah, And it's just crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, So just kind of kind of make the realms
of a handful of stories that are interesting or amusing.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You might want to sit down to hear this. The
shock may overwhelm you.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The GOP has actually come up with a really good
idea on healthcare. Whether it'll go anywhere is in doubt,
of course, because of the nature of our idiotic partisan politics.
But the Republican bill would make it easier for small
businesses to escape the Obamacare regulatory morass. The bill would
(04:51):
expand so called association health plans that let bunches of
small employers unite to sponsor group health plans that would
produced premiums by expanding the risk pools a lot and
give small employers more leverage with insurers, and the plans
wouldn't have to adhere to the many insane Obamacare rules, which,
(05:11):
as you may remember, we're all about, Okay, we're gonna
make everybody buy like complete care. Dudes have got to
get maternity care, and healthy young people have got to
get like geriatric care. Order the whole thing, because that's
the only way we're going to get enough money together
to subsidize the Actually, see.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
People, I'd forgotten that angle of it. That was very
mockable at the time. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
They still couldn't charge more for workers with pre existing
health conditions, but worker premiums for association plans would likely
be lower than for Obamacare plans, and workers might also
see an increase in take home pay if their employer's
insurance costs fall. Association plans won't work for all small businesses,
but the GOP bill offers another option, health reimbursement arrangements.
(06:03):
These would let employers make tax free payments for employees
to buy their own health insurance in lieu of sponsoring
a group plan. It's creative, it's interesting, it's absolutely worth
looking at. Never let anybody tell you anything other than
the fact that Obamacare is a complete disaster. It is
a disaster that has only enriched insurance companies. Enough on
(06:23):
that I read a piece and tightered entitled why Doge
failed to slash Spending? By a plucky young gal by
the name of Jessica Ridle in the Dispatch. It may
be the single most depressing thing I've ever read as
the citizen of a free state.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Jessica Ridle formerly what was his first name before?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Is that wrong? I've been into him for years.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He's one of the great writers about economics that on
the conservative side that exists. But he finally came out
as a woman and is now Jessica Ridle former.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, that's a shame.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I hope you can get help for your issues.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But it is an absolutely terrific article about how incredibly complex, slow,
and difficult it is to get rid of any government
spending or any government programs. I will not torture you
with it because I don't want to depress you, but
holy cow, a we up against it.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Moving a law that is so frustrating.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
But yeah, I think it would be good for all
Americans to hear and read the entire thing you probably
get paywalled. But it's it's depressing anyway. This is slightly
less depressing. The Heart Association, the American Heart Association has
revived the theory that like drinking may be good for you,
(07:45):
pissing awful sets of other associations that had decided even
one or two drinks a day raise the risk of
various stuff, and nobody should drink.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And if you don't drink, you shouldn't start.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Then other news, moderate exercise is the worst thing you
could do.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Oh anyway, So it's it's an unintentionally funny piece about
how you know. It's just all these associations. I don't
think a lot of us had realized let me put
it to you like this, tell me if I'm wrong.
Hadn't most of us assumed that the American Association of Pediatrics,
for instance, or the American Art Association, or what's the
(08:22):
the Endocrine Society were just rock solid, science based, sober,
no pun intended like solemnonic arbiter's serious people that would
never do anything but give us the truth as they
could find it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I almost hate to say yes, because it's embarrassing that
I thought that. But yes, that's exactly what I thought
my whole life. Yeah, I think we all did.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
No, they're highly politicized organizations, sometimes taken over by activists
like transgender rights activists. No offense to mister misridel about
the AARP my whole life. Oh it's just a group
for old people. No, they're an activist group. Hey oh yeah,
oh yeah, yeah yeah. And don't get me starting about
(09:08):
the various pediatric groups that have gone hardcore in mutilating
children who are momentarily confused about their sex.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And I'll never believe the CDC obviously, anybody who lived
through COVID. If you believe anything the CDC ever says
ever again in your life, you're nuts.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Perhaps back to the alcohol story.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Everything in moderation, a philosophy that's thousands of years old.
Coming up a shocking and I'm serious, shocking story about
Zoron Mamdani's mayoral transition team. After a word about delicious,
delicious steak from Olah Steaks, so good.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
My son wants steak for his birthday. So yeah, people
love steaks. Omaha steak. We got lots of Omaha stuff.
They got the steaks which are really really delicious. Filet Mignon.
That is just unbelievable. The burgers are unbelievable. The hot dogs,
how do you make a better hot dog?

Speaker 4 (10:49):
So how a Internet savvy and be despicable as this
Zorn Mumdani, the Erica hating is lomist, soon to be
Mayor of New York his transition teams. His transition team
(11:10):
is intentionally misspelling the names of several appointees, including two
of his most controversial picks, so you can't google them
and find out who they really are and what they
really believe.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's pretty clever and insidious.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Among them controversial rapper Mezon Lennon, an ex con who
served seven years in state prison, whose first name was
botched as my soon when his appointment to the Committee
on the Criminal Legal System was announced last month. Is
he actually a rapper? Like you know, has recorded stuff
that gets played anywhere? Just because you wrap you're not
(11:51):
a rapper?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, every kid with a guitar in a garage in
America isn't a musician.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Per se, Right, I guess they are, but anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The first name of black nationalist Lumumba Bandela was also
butchered in the press release as the mayoral transition announced
he'd serve on Mamdani's Committee on Community Organizing Your parent
typosts didn't and there According to The New York Post,
Serrita Daftari of the Freedom Agenda group that describes itself
(12:24):
as quote dedicated to organizing people in communities directly impacted
by incarceration to achieve decarceration and systemic transformation. Had her
last name misspelled decarceration shut up, Mary Travis Bassett's different spelling.
According to the announcement from Mandanni's team, Parman, Professor public
(12:45):
Health was named the Transition Committee on Health. Other misspelled names.
You know, it's possible these people just suck at spelling
and don't recheck their work.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
That is pretty clever, though, you slightly misspell your name
so that people can't background check you, Ryan, the things
you've said in the past.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
The radical leftists, Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Uh. Person running I six for Great Britain gave a
little speech that's highly troubling. Europe seems to be gearing
up for war. There's an All Street Journal article about
that the other day. We should be paying attention to
this for crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Among other things.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
We got on the way, got some pretty funny names
for people who've donated scouting hit you with those love that.
If you want to donate during the commercial break before
we do it, total go to Armstrong in getty dot com.
They get this woman just got reunited with her dog
that went missing five years ago after it was found
two three hundred miles away.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Wow. The woman was thrilled, while the dog was like,
take a hint, Helen. Wow, that's a great joke. That's
a great joke. That is a good joke. That's amazing though.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So do you like it when people do funny names
to donate money when we're raise money for a good.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Cause like Scouting?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So the idea is that if there are kids out
there that would like to, you know, join the Scouts,
but their family doesn't have the couple hundred dollars it
takes to do that, well, we're gonna we're gonna provide
them the money so they can so that there's no
kid out there that can't join. And we're trying to
raise one hundred thousand dollars. You can go to Armstrong
and getty dot com to donate Future Beaver overlords gave
twenty five bucks. Appreciate Wow, thank you kind of benevolent
(14:28):
for overlord Lincoln Penny in for twenty five bucks. Nancy
Pelosi's stock portfolio jumped in with seventy dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's a generous contribution. Of course she can afford it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh, I meant to have you get this clip for Michael,
Somebody tongue tied. Jack all Narnar donate twenty five dollars.
I barely remember that. Remember I got at the end
of a segment and I couldn't say some word.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You're trying to rush in at tease or something right
at the very end as the clock was ticking right.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, we're hitting the bottom of the hour. Oh nrn Or.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Donated twenty five dollars. Jack's neck valve two hundred and
sixty dollars. That's something I've been pushing for a long time.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
You chew it, you taste it, you enjoy it, you
swallow it, it goes out your neck valve before you gain weight.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You haven't heard this, kiddie.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So the idea is, you got a little hole in
the side of your neck with a valve on it,
and you wear this pack on your back and it
could be decorative matches your outfit or whatever. But when
you're eating stuff you just want to taste, but you
don't actually want it to go in your stomach. It
goes down and it goes out the tube into your
your a little sap you're carrying. See you don't take
in all the fat and nutrients and calories and everything
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It's obviously a good idea. I don't hate it.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I know if we're ever going to cut the penis
off boys who decide they're a girl.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I don't know why you can't get this done.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, not sure, hiding finding your argument compelling there, but
it's a good point. Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Fifty bucks from the burden of Damascus. Heck, we won't
explain that one. That's unfortunately, one hundred dollars for dumb
as a couple of bottle caps?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Is that a did somebody use that term? Probably?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And then forty bucks from Sarah Love's show met on
Armstrong Ngedy Facebook group, So it must be a couple
who got together on the Facebook group, which is very
nice bringing people together and in love.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That's very very nice.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Let's get a quick total there before I move on
to something else. Gladys, if you could roll the drums
on our way to one hundred thousand dollars, I hope
we are now at sixty six seven and fifty five dollars.
Twenty five bucks from somehow he got on the roof,
(16:44):
so just came across this. There was an article in
the Wall Street Journal a little bit earlier in the
week that Europe is preparing its people for war. Some
of the stuff that's been said by the leader of Germany,
France and Great Britain certainly lead you to believe that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And that's a bit big deal, a big damn deal.
I don't know why this isn't being talked about more.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's got to do with the peace plan between Russia
and Ukraine, and in the fact that some of these European
countries are going to put troops on the ground, and
if Russia attacks, you're at war with Russia right at
that point. Anyway, this woman who runs MI six, that's
the Britain spy agency, that's the equivalent of the CIA,
IS six or is MI five. I get it mixed
(17:27):
up either way. One of their intelligence students this external.
I believe five is internal.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So it'd be their CIA. I thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We are in a space between peace and war, she said,
just below the threshold of war, including cyber attacks on
critical infrastructure, drones buzzing airports and military bases and other things.
We're just below being at war. With Russia right now,
right and being that close matters.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I felt that when I was in Europe it was like, wow,
that's going on just like three hundred miles that way,
it matters well. Plus one of these attempted drone attacks
is successful.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
All of a sudden, you got a big war going.
Holy Cow anyway, if you missed a secmek at the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
The animals at the London Zoo getting into the holiday spirit,
and it seems like Santa arrived early there. Monkeys were
treated as stockings garnished with sweet corn, while the gorillas
actual rummage through festive bags of their favorite snacks.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
No good for the gorillas rummaging through festive bags of
their favorite snacks.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That was a really weird delivery.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It was one of the gorillas saying, Hey, I feel
like we've commercialized this too much. Let's remember the reason
for the season. And then he broke the zookeeper in half.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
This mighty, mighty garrila's strength.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Speaking of Christmas and the fact that I've purchased nothing
yet for Christmas, I'm warming to this idea of cash
show suggested just getting twenties.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
However, money I would decide to get in the wrapper though,
like out of a movie.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm thinking wrap each one individually in a little so
you've got a number of presents to open up. But
each present you open up is a twenty dollars bill
until you have but you know, a number of twenty
dollars bills.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Right, different sized boxes, and you know.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I think my shades, but yeah, I think my kids
at the current age would really enjoy that.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Yes, Katie, there are a series of gift boxes you
can purchase on Amazon where you full you put the
bill and then you put the little box on top,
and you rinse and repeat and they layer and when
you open it, it explodes and the money it just
flies everywhere.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
A lot of cool that doesn't making it rain. Like
you're a wrapper strip clubs.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let's turn Christmas around the tree on Jesus's Birthday into
our own little home strip club. That's great, And you're
a young fitty cent that's fantastic. Wow, maybe I could
get some young hotty to grind to a White Snake
song while we're enjoying.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You pay enough, you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Can, Yeah, Merry Christmas, everyone coming up.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Our old friend Glenn Beck with.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Some interesting unintentional hilarity and just it's just interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But first, a couple of things.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
First of all, quoting the great Nelly Bowles, who became
aware as we did that Seattle is hosting a World
Cup match during Pride month, Pride weekend, Pride week whatever,
three days as Pride something anyway. But it's like right
at the height of it. And they were going to
have an up with the gays theme for the Pride match.
(20:37):
They were gonna call it, but there's a blind draw
for who's in the game. They did the draw and
it's Egypt in Iran. You even imagine that, not your
gayest countries. So Nelly writes, God has a sense of humor.
You see, Seattle goes hard for Pride. Every resident in
Seattle wears rainbow face paint for the entire month, and
(20:57):
every dog has dyed rainbow colors. The Straits do some
leather play in solidarity. But the Egyptians in Iranians have
asked Seattle if they could pretend not to be so
gay for like thirty six hours. On the one hand,
good progressives in Seattle believe that no culture is better
than another, so Iran has a good point when they
screamed death to gaze. On the other hand, that's a
(21:18):
great shot at progressives. On the other hand, Pride Month,
the greatest thirty days of the year, cannot be neglected.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So what will Seattle do?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
All I can say is I was supposed to be
the Pride of Float Grand Marshal, but now they tell
me I have to be pushed off a pride roof instead.
I'll still do it because I'm in too deep to
turn back now.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But it's not what I signed up for Seattle.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Wow, oh Nelly, I am in love with your push.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
And speaking of bigots of whatever sort, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Russell Brand, who is sleezeball of a variety of descriptions.
And I'm told a comedian though I've never heard him
say anything. Funny had had Candace.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Owens on his podcast and it was said to be
like a hallucination. And this is a portion of the
conversation that Russell's team is using to publicize the sit down,
like this is the hook, this is the good part, okay,
And I'm gonna read it to you so we can
jack stop me anytime you want.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And we can discuss he was married to astronaut Katy Perry.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Correct, that is correct, but those lonely, lonely months when
she was at the space station was too much for
him anyway. So this is Candace Owens explaining something. Segmund
Freud came from a Sabbatian family. This is Jewish mysticism,
and they believe that this man, Shabbat Savisi Tavi, was
(22:51):
their messiah. He was a homosexual psychopath who believed in
practicing incest as a sacrament. This is how they were
going to move forward in the world. And Segmund Freud
discover that the reason they do this is because it
conditions the child to grow up to be a psychopath,
because of what they have to go through trying to
understand why their parents did this. This is real. All
of these authors are Jewish. They support the Jewish movement.
(23:12):
The second author, David Bachan, I think, actually regrets writing
his book because he thought it was going to be
like expose of why the Jews in Europe should be
sympathized for, and then people went, wait, what's going on here?
It's right in your face, what's going on. They have
a tremendous amount of power. They've always had power, and
it is because what they believe in is evil is okay.
They believe in the doctrine of evil that you must
(23:33):
lower yourselves and commit the most depraved acts of evil
to prove that evil doesn't actually exist, and then you
can ascend in society. That to me seems to be
the guiding philosophy of people in Israel. I would say,
like this idea that you can commit acts of evil
to get ahead in society. When I see what's happening
in Gaza, how do you look at this and not
understand this is evil?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Wow? That's from Candice Ollans. Yes, yes, wow.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
And I hate to make a joke here, but Nelly
Bowls again comments, ma'am, this is a Panera bread. I'm
sorry that is so funny, but.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That is unmitigated calling for the slaughter of Jews. Yeah,
that's the most anti Jew thing I think I've.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Ever heard, and that is I mean, you've got the
Islamists who want to kill the Jews. You've got I
don't even know what to call that part of the
so called right wing. It's a horseshoe theory, but it's
a horseshoe if it was melted and like twisted all
up and it's unrecognizable of is that left?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Right?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
It's crazy. Then you've got the progressive left who bought
the whole settler colonial victim oppresser a genocide crap and
they want to kill the Jews.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Good Lord, I.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Get I've got to accept that this has been around forever,
this right blaming things on the Jews. I still don't
get it, though, I still like, I don't get it
just for some reason why the Jews.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
They are an outsider group and they are successful. Is
it their success a lot of them that damns them
so much? Yeah, that's part of it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
And and the fact that they have different beliefs than
various other groups, and there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Of them, Like it doesn't people don't do those as Buddhists,
I know it's causing this, the Buddhists.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, the Buddhists aren't.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Like, don't value education and hard work, which gets them
then monetary success in the way that the Jews.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Do more nobel prizes than any other group.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Of people and all that sort of stuff, right, right,
So people hate them for that they're nobel prizes. Yeah,
it's it's intellectually lazy, it's morally depraved than I despise it.
The record, I'm always talking about reading Ulysses in the
amount of the main character bloom is Jewish, in the
amount of dealing with people who hate him because he's
(26:02):
Jewish in Ireland in nineteen oh four is just what
it's been around forever. Human beings need scapegoats. That's just
a part of our unholy psychology.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Again, it Remains of the Day, which I read last year,
a famous movie with Anthony Hopkins. A more famous book
is all about the super wealthy powerful in England in
the early twentieth century.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And now they're blaming the Jews. You know what the
problem is, the Jews, right right? Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (26:32):

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Candice Owns had a off the record, quiet sit down,
multi hour meeting with Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica Kicker. Yeah,
and then came out in Badmouth some more. I think
Erica Kirk was thinking, maybe if I just talked to her, now.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
They used to be friends.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Maybe if I just talk to her, I can end
all this so I don't have to be answering these
questions all the time, as Candias Owns puts out this nonsense,
and it didn't work because Candas Owens is a freaking
nut job or just a grifter.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Right right? Both? How old is she? Candis Camas? Yeah,
pretty young? So we google that will Yeah, Katie, how
old is Candas Owens?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I just I'm seriously wondering whether, because psychosis tends to
develop in late teens and twenties, if you're going to
get a psychotic.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Condition, I was just curious, what do you got? See
she's thirty six? Is she really well?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah? So how many years ago was it that we
did that event with her? As before she was huge famous.
We're in Napa decade, probably longer in.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
The way that time goes by so fast.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
But she was a young, very attractive black woman whose
shtick at the time was, you know, we love this
sort of thing was going around saying people who were black,
who say society's holding them back that's ridiculous. Here's why
you can be successful. That was her thing at the time.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And this is a great country, the greatest country in
the world to succeed no matter who you are.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
There's not systemic racism everywhere keeping you from being a success.
You were keeping yourself from being successful. We loved that message,
and we did some event where we're We're the MC's
and she was the main speaker or something like that.
I'd never heard of her in my life until we
got paired with her that night.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
She was weird a little. I remember being weird.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I mean, she she just she was just aloof, like
incredibly aloof. Yeah, I kind of thought maybe it was
like super hot chick disease.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Just like I can't be I don't need to be
talking to any dudes. All dudes are hitting on me
all the time or something. I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
She was just really really weirdly aloof. But she and
her assistant were like super insulated. They wanted to go
contact with outside.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Well, there's just four of us in a room for
a very long time, and it was weird to not
have any more interaction than we had.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
But you know, she turns out to be a complete nutjob.
I would agree.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And I don't know if it's a grift, like almost
entirely a grift, or if she believes all that or
came to believe all that, or or what.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
With all these people, same with what's his name the
guy who's never had sex?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh, yeah, exact? Or does he really believe this stuff?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah, I don't know. I really don't know. Doesn't make
much difference at the end. Don't bother sending us the
email that says, guys, you need to listen to them,
listen to more of them. I forgot some of them right,
and I get the fact that maybe sixty to eighty
percent of it is perfectly reasonable, but have a higher standard.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Hitler made some great highways.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
That doesn't mean that last the bit of his act
was acceptable.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's not the way morality works. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
We've run out of time to do the Glenn Beck thing,
which I really want to do.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
We'll do that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
He interviewed, And this is a get Hanson. If you
weren't so lazy, our executive producer, you would get us
interviews like this.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's time for some Plaine talking pants Christmas.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That's when you do the plane talk. It's time for
your annual review sit down. Glenn Beck booked George Washington.
Is this the festivus airing of the grievances the father
of our country?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Now that's a get. That's pretty good, guest. Yeah, we'll
feature some of that interview coming up.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Okay, that's on the way next. My underwear keep creeping
up on me, the legs of my underwear.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I need.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I need garters that like to my socks and my
underwear that like hold them all in place. Keep my
socks up, keep my underwear down, Katie, there's a gift
idea for you.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm on ITV Jack. Let's see.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Let me search on suck garters to keep underpants from creeping.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Get the petite size. I have very skinny legs. Okay yeah,
oh good lord.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
All right, So our old friend Glenn Beck, who's had
quite a career. We used to know Glenn a little bit.
We were show business friends, but very friendly and enjoyed
his company very much. He and his wife, he does
some really interesting stuff, sometimes partly because he's got a big,
fat budget and he evidently and his people created an
(32:39):
AI George Washington that he then interviewed. Now the funny part,
and I should have gotten a picture for you guys,
But the funny part is the George Washington he created.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It looks like.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Looks like a leading man in the Michael Douglas Fatal
Attraction part of his career, silver Fox, silver main of hair.
And George is very buff in Glen Beck's imagining, very athletic,
solidly built, and he's wearing a slate gray T shirt
at the interview like he's a Hollywood producer or something
(33:21):
which George Washington would never ever do. Is a very
very formal man. Anyway, we'll play a little bit in
comment here. It is Glenn Beck interviewing the father of
our country.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
George.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
We have programmed a lot of information and given you
a lot of information on what's going on in today's
America based on your writings and the writings of the
rest of the founders. What is it that you feel
is the biggest problem or where we should start to
fix things?
Speaker 7 (33:53):
If I may speak plainly, my countryman, the danger the
greatest to our republic lies not in foreign arms or
political faction.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
But marupt you for a second, could you just dumb
it down of just a look.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Okay, I do have twenty nine points and they're all
referenced to exactly what we said in the past.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Speak in today's language. Okay, okay, I get it.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Let me speak to Americans, If I'm honest, America's biggest
problem is in political or economic.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's all moral.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in
the first place. Freedom to be free, you have to
have discipline, you have to have faith, you have to
have character. And if you don't have any of those things, laws,
laws can't stop anything, and I mean little government turns
either weak or oppressive. You have grown skeptical of truth.
(35:00):
You're reckless with debt. You're comfortable blaming instead of building anything.
And in my time, we understood that self governance begins
with self control. Do you even recognize what self control is?
Public virtue matters more than public opinion. You keep collecting
(35:22):
these people expecting things to change, but you haven't changed.
The fix is not going to be found in Washington, DC.
It's going to be found in every home, every school,
every heart. You know, where are the citizens who value
duty over comfort, principle over popularity. America was built to
be a moral and self governing nation. It's only that
(35:45):
foundation that will still save her.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
So putting aside the T shirt and the buff arms,
well done, Glenn. It's funny I didn't find that dumb down. Particularly.
That was exactly right. That is what George Washington would say.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, I think that's clearly right. Part of the problem,
part of the problem, only part of the problem, but
part of the problem is a lot of the morals virtues,
whether you like it or not, came out of being
a religious people. And I know my anti religious.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Friends hate that, hate that, hate that, but it's just
a fact.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
A lot of the like living within your means and
you know, doing the right thing and putting your family, city, state,
country ahead of your wants and all that sort of
stuff came out of religious beliefs.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Well, you know, it's funny they are our atheist friends
would say, you don't need religion to arrive at that
sort of.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Code and right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I always say, is show me the time that that
has happened. Has that happened anywhere on an individual basis?
Somebody of high morals and intelligence absolutely can achieve that course.
But societally speaking religions arose for a reason, multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
We just didn't say you have a relationship with God
and none of us will worry about no moral codes.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
There are reasons for them.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I don't want it to make it that like the
panacea only thing you need to fix the problem, although
it might be pretty close, so I don't know what
are your thoughts on that text line four one five
kftc
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Kaddy.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Jacket, he arms Strong and Eddy about
like a year ago. I guess I got back.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I got back on dope and other things, and I
wound up having a cocaine heart.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Attack, and I just was like, you know what, I
want to go home. And so I just stayed sober
long enough till I could go home. And then and
then I went home and did it.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I just wanted to get back to my old life
of like smoking weed, kind of taking some pills, like
doing whatever I wanted.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That's accused double murderer Nick Reiner twenty eighteen. There's lots
of audio of him in video because there's documentaries and
lots of interviews. Been a drug addict various times homeless,
decided to slit the throat of both his parents over
the weekend. We know that story one thing we've discussed
for several days now. Because I was looking up at
the major network newscasts and the cable newscasts at the
(01:20):
top of the hour, everybody led with some sort of
update on the story. There's nothing to learn in this
story at this point, there really hasn't been for several days.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Why why is this the lead story in America? Is
it just celebrity? Celebrity and murder?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Like those two things combined are just irresistible for.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I'm not pulled into this one particularly other than trying
to gauge how interested you all are.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Uh, but like OJ, I was super into.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Why was OJ different because the celebrity had committed the murders, right,
which is itself shocking, and there was investigation and trial
and people love that. Yeah, yeah, I actually think there
is something to be learned here, but it has nothing
to do with what the media is talking about, honestly,
(02:13):
And that's the nature of addiction. And families that have
all the resources in the world can't beat addiction.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
If the addict.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Can't, you know, get there, I don't know how would
you characterize it. You can want to get clean completely
and still fail at it, but you've got to want
to a lot and I'm not sure he did.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, there's there's a big difference between really thinking you
want to quit and actually quitting.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
What that leap is nobody really knows. Yeah, yeah, but I.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Would I would love to hear this in the context
and longtime listeners of the show under we've covered this before,
but that the idea of you've got to get them
into rehab. Yeah, for every junkie on the streets, don't
don't tell them to stop doing drugs, and don't put
them in jail. Having a disease isn't a crime. Just
give them a resource to kid into rehab.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, like listening to that clip there, just thinking that
he did have a place where he could go and
be comfortable and do drugs makes it way more likely
you're gonna continue doing drugs obviously. Yeah, Now that's not
the only answer, because you would think looking around, you know, California,
for instance, it doesn't look you know, being Rob Reiner's son,
(03:26):
hanging out at some apartment and doing drugs would probably
be pretty comfy. Living under a bridge in the cold weather,
scrounging for food, sleeping on a sidewalk doesn't look pleasant
at all. And people keep doing it, getting your stuff
stolen semi regularly.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, and you get beat up or raped and people
still do it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So I don't know, right, I agree, the biggest story
there is the addiction and what do you do about it?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
God?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
There but for the grace of God. Can you imagine
how frustrating that is? As apparents, You've got all the
money in the world, you've had all the success in
the world, and you just can't figure out of way
to force this kid, help this kid stop.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And they tried tough love, kicking them out, you know,
warm embrace, you know, enabling not enabling these dozen fifteen rehabs.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh at least, yeah, Yeah, And it's just crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, So just kind of kind of make the realms
of a handful of stories that are interesting or amusing.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You might want to sit down to hear this. The
shock may overwhelm you.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The GOP has actually come up with a really good
idea on healthcare. Whether it'll go anywhere is in doubt,
of course, because of the nature of our idiotic partisan politics.
But the Republican bill would make it easier for small
businesses to escape the Obamacare regulatory morass. The bill would
(04:51):
expand so called association health plans that let bunches of
small employers unite to sponsor group health plans that would
produced premiums by expanding the risk pools a lot and
give small employers more leverage with insurers, and the plans
wouldn't have to adhere to the many insane Obamacare rules, which,
(05:11):
as you may remember, we're all about, Okay, we're gonna
make everybody buy like complete care. Dudes have got to
get maternity care, and healthy young people have got to
get like geriatric care. Order the whole thing, because that's
the only way we're going to get enough money together
to subsidize the Actually, see.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
People, I'd forgotten that angle of it. That was very
mockable at the time. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
They still couldn't charge more for workers with pre existing
health conditions, but worker premiums for association plans would likely
be lower than for Obamacare plans, and workers might also
see an increase in take home pay if their employer's
insurance costs fall. Association plans won't work for all small businesses,
but the GOP bill offers another option, health reimbursement arrangements.
(06:03):
These would let employers make tax free payments for employees
to buy their own health insurance in lieu of sponsoring
a group plan. It's creative, it's interesting, it's absolutely worth
looking at. Never let anybody tell you anything other than
the fact that Obamacare is a complete disaster. It is
a disaster that has only enriched insurance companies. Enough on
(06:23):
that I read a piece and tightered entitled why Doge
failed to slash Spending? By a plucky young gal by
the name of Jessica Ridle in the Dispatch. It may
be the single most depressing thing I've ever read as
the citizen of a free state.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Jessica Ridle formerly what was his first name before?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Is that wrong? I've been into him for years.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He's one of the great writers about economics that on
the conservative side that exists. But he finally came out
as a woman and is now Jessica Ridle former.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, that's a shame.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I hope you can get help for your issues.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But it is an absolutely terrific article about how incredibly complex, slow,
and difficult it is to get rid of any government
spending or any government programs. I will not torture you
with it because I don't want to depress you, but
holy cow, a we up against it.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Moving a law that is so frustrating.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
But yeah, I think it would be good for all
Americans to hear and read the entire thing you probably
get paywalled. But it's it's depressing anyway. This is slightly
less depressing. The Heart Association, the American Heart Association has
revived the theory that like drinking may be good for you,
(07:45):
pissing awful sets of other associations that had decided even
one or two drinks a day raise the risk of
various stuff, and nobody should drink.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And if you don't drink, you shouldn't start.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Then other news, moderate exercise is the worst thing you
could do.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Oh anyway, So it's it's an unintentionally funny piece about
how you know. It's just all these associations. I don't
think a lot of us had realized let me put
it to you like this, tell me if I'm wrong.
Hadn't most of us assumed that the American Association of Pediatrics,
for instance, or the American Art Association, or what's the
(08:22):
the Endocrine Society were just rock solid, science based, sober,
no pun intended like solemnonic arbiter's serious people that would
never do anything but give us the truth as they
could find it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I almost hate to say yes, because it's embarrassing that
I thought that. But yes, that's exactly what I thought
my whole life. Yeah, I think we all did.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
No, they're highly politicized organizations, sometimes taken over by activists
like transgender rights activists. No offense to mister misridel about
the AARP my whole life. Oh it's just a group
for old people. No, they're an activist group. Hey oh yeah,
oh yeah, yeah yeah. And don't get me starting about
(09:08):
the various pediatric groups that have gone hardcore in mutilating
children who are momentarily confused about their sex.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And I'll never believe the CDC obviously, anybody who lived
through COVID. If you believe anything the CDC ever says
ever again in your life, you're nuts.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Perhaps back to the alcohol story.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Everything in moderation, a philosophy that's thousands of years old.
Coming up a shocking and I'm serious, shocking story about
Zoron Mamdani's mayoral transition team. After a word about delicious,
delicious steak from Olah Steaks, so good.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
My son wants steak for his birthday. So yeah, people
love steaks. Omaha steak. We got lots of Omaha stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
So how a Internet savvy and be despicable as this
Zorn Mumdani, the Erica hating is lomist, soon to be
Mayor of New York his transition teams. His transition team
(11:10):
is intentionally misspelling the names of several appointees, including two
of his most controversial picks, so you can't google them
and find out who they really are and what they
really believe.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's pretty clever and insidious.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Among them controversial rapper Mezon Lennon, an ex con who
served seven years in state prison, whose first name was
botched as my soon when his appointment to the Committee
on the Criminal Legal System was announced last month. Is
he actually a rapper? Like you know, has recorded stuff
that gets played anywhere? Just because you wrap you're not
(11:51):
a rapper?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, every kid with a guitar in a garage in
America isn't a musician.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Per se, Right, I guess they are, but anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The first name of black nationalist Lumumba Bandela was also
butchered in the press release as the mayoral transition announced
he'd serve on Mamdani's Committee on Community Organizing Your parent
typosts didn't and there According to The New York Post,
Serrita Daftari of the Freedom Agenda group that describes itself
(12:24):
as quote dedicated to organizing people in communities directly impacted
by incarceration to achieve decarceration and systemic transformation. Had her
last name misspelled decarceration shut up, Mary Travis Bassett's different spelling.
According to the announcement from Mandanni's team, Parman, Professor public
(12:45):
Health was named the Transition Committee on Health. Other misspelled names.
You know, it's possible these people just suck at spelling
and don't recheck their work.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
That is pretty clever, though, you slightly misspell your name
so that people can't background check you, Ryan, the things
you've said in the past.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
The radical leftists, Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Uh. Person running I six for Great Britain gave a
little speech that's highly troubling. Europe seems to be gearing
up for war. There's an All Street Journal article about
that the other day. We should be paying attention to
this for crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Among other things.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
We got on the way, got some pretty funny names
for people who've donated scouting hit you with those love that.
If you want to donate during the commercial break before
we do it, total go to Armstrong in getty dot com.
They get this woman just got reunited with her dog
that went missing five years ago after it was found
two three hundred miles away.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Wow. The woman was thrilled, while the dog was like,
take a hint, Helen. Wow, that's a great joke. That's
a great joke. That is a good joke. That's amazing though.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So do you like it when people do funny names
to donate money when we're raise money for a good.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Cause like Scouting?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So the idea is that if there are kids out
there that would like to, you know, join the Scouts,
but their family doesn't have the couple hundred dollars it
takes to do that, well, we're gonna we're gonna provide
them the money so they can so that there's no
kid out there that can't join. And we're trying to
raise one hundred thousand dollars. You can go to Armstrong
and getty dot com to donate Future Beaver overlords gave
twenty five bucks. Appreciate Wow, thank you kind of benevolent
(14:28):
for overlord Lincoln Penny in for twenty five bucks. Nancy
Pelosi's stock portfolio jumped in with seventy dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's a generous contribution. Of course she can afford it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh, I meant to have you get this clip for Michael,
Somebody tongue tied. Jack all Narnar donate twenty five dollars.
I barely remember that. Remember I got at the end
of a segment and I couldn't say some word.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You're trying to rush in at tease or something right
at the very end as the clock was ticking right.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, we're hitting the bottom of the hour. Oh nrn Or.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Donated twenty five dollars. Jack's neck valve two hundred and
sixty dollars. That's something I've been pushing for a long time.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
You chew it, you taste it, you enjoy it, you
swallow it, it goes out your neck valve before you gain weight.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You haven't heard this, kiddie.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So the idea is, you got a little hole in
the side of your neck with a valve on it,
and you wear this pack on your back and it
could be decorative matches your outfit or whatever. But when
you're eating stuff you just want to taste, but you
don't actually want it to go in your stomach. It
goes down and it goes out the tube into your
your a little sap you're carrying. See you don't take
in all the fat and nutrients and calories and everything
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It's obviously a good idea. I don't hate it.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I know if we're ever going to cut the penis
off boys who decide they're a girl.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I don't know why you can't get this done.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, not sure, hiding finding your argument compelling there, but
it's a good point. Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Fifty bucks from the burden of Damascus. Heck, we won't
explain that one. That's unfortunately, one hundred dollars for dumb
as a couple of bottle caps?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Is that a did somebody use that term? Probably?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And then forty bucks from Sarah Love's show met on
Armstrong Ngedy Facebook group, So it must be a couple
who got together on the Facebook group, which is very
nice bringing people together and in love.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That's very very nice.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Let's get a quick total there before I move on
to something else. Gladys, if you could roll the drums
on our way to one hundred thousand dollars, I hope
we are now at sixty six seven and fifty five dollars.
Twenty five bucks from somehow he got on the roof,
(16:44):
so just came across this. There was an article in
the Wall Street Journal a little bit earlier in the
week that Europe is preparing its people for war. Some
of the stuff that's been said by the leader of Germany,
France and Great Britain certainly lead you to believe that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And that's a bit big deal, a big damn deal.
I don't know why this isn't being talked about more.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's got to do with the peace plan between Russia
and Ukraine, and in the fact that some of these European
countries are going to put troops on the ground, and
if Russia attacks, you're at war with Russia right at
that point. Anyway, this woman who runs MI six, that's
the Britain spy agency, that's the equivalent of the CIA,
IS six or is MI five. I get it mixed
(17:27):
up either way. One of their intelligence students this external.
I believe five is internal.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So it'd be their CIA. I thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We are in a space between peace and war, she said,
just below the threshold of war, including cyber attacks on
critical infrastructure, drones buzzing airports and military bases and other things.
We're just below being at war. With Russia right now,
right and being that close matters.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I felt that when I was in Europe it was like, wow,
that's going on just like three hundred miles that way,
it matters well. Plus one of these attempted drone attacks
is successful.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
All of a sudden, you got a big war going.
Holy Cow anyway, if you missed a secmek at the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
The animals at the London Zoo getting into the holiday spirit,
and it seems like Santa arrived early there. Monkeys were
treated as stockings garnished with sweet corn, while the gorillas
actual rummage through festive bags of their favorite snacks.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
No good for the gorillas rummaging through festive bags of
their favorite snacks.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That was a really weird delivery.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It was one of the gorillas saying, Hey, I feel
like we've commercialized this too much. Let's remember the reason
for the season. And then he broke the zookeeper in half.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
This mighty, mighty garrila's strength.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Speaking of Christmas and the fact that I've purchased nothing
yet for Christmas, I'm warming to this idea of cash
show suggested just getting twenties.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
However, money I would decide to get in the wrapper though,
like out of a movie.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm thinking wrap each one individually in a little so
you've got a number of presents to open up. But
each present you open up is a twenty dollars bill
until you have but you know, a number of twenty
dollars bills.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Right, different sized boxes, and you know.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I think my shades, but yeah, I think my kids
at the current age would really enjoy that.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Yes, Katie, there are a series of gift boxes you
can purchase on Amazon where you full you put the
bill and then you put the little box on top,
and you rinse and repeat and they layer and when
you open it, it explodes and the money it just
flies everywhere.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
A lot of cool that doesn't making it rain. Like
you're a wrapper strip clubs.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let's turn Christmas around the tree on Jesus's Birthday into
our own little home strip club. That's great, And you're
a young fitty cent that's fantastic. Wow, maybe I could
get some young hotty to grind to a White Snake
song while we're enjoying.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You pay enough, you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Can, Yeah, Merry Christmas, everyone coming up.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Our old friend Glenn Beck with.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Some interesting unintentional hilarity and just it's just interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But first, a couple of things.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
First of all, quoting the great Nelly Bowles, who became
aware as we did that Seattle is hosting a World
Cup match during Pride month, Pride weekend, Pride week whatever,
three days as Pride something anyway. But it's like right
at the height of it. And they were going to
have an up with the gays theme for the Pride match.
(20:37):
They were gonna call it, but there's a blind draw
for who's in the game. They did the draw and
it's Egypt in Iran. You even imagine that, not your
gayest countries. So Nelly writes, God has a sense of humor.
You see, Seattle goes hard for Pride. Every resident in
Seattle wears rainbow face paint for the entire month, and
(20:57):
every dog has dyed rainbow colors. The Straits do some
leather play in solidarity. But the Egyptians in Iranians have
asked Seattle if they could pretend not to be so
gay for like thirty six hours. On the one hand,
good progressives in Seattle believe that no culture is better
than another, so Iran has a good point when they
screamed death to gaze. On the other hand, that's a
(21:18):
great shot at progressives. On the other hand, Pride Month,
the greatest thirty days of the year, cannot be neglected.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So what will Seattle do?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
All I can say is I was supposed to be
the Pride of Float Grand Marshal, but now they tell
me I have to be pushed off a pride roof instead.
I'll still do it because I'm in too deep to
turn back now.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But it's not what I signed up for Seattle.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Wow, oh Nelly, I am in love with your push.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
And speaking of bigots of whatever sort, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Russell Brand, who is sleezeball of a variety of descriptions.
And I'm told a comedian though I've never heard him
say anything. Funny had had Candace.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Owens on his podcast and it was said to be
like a hallucination. And this is a portion of the
conversation that Russell's team is using to publicize the sit down,
like this is the hook, this is the good part, okay,
And I'm gonna read it to you so we can
jack stop me anytime you want.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And we can discuss he was married to astronaut Katy Perry.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Correct, that is correct, but those lonely, lonely months when
she was at the space station was too much for
him anyway. So this is Candace Owens explaining something. Segmund
Freud came from a Sabbatian family. This is Jewish mysticism,
and they believe that this man, Shabbat Savisi Tavi, was
(22:51):
their messiah. He was a homosexual psychopath who believed in
practicing incest as a sacrament. This is how they were
going to move forward in the world. And Segmund Freud
discover that the reason they do this is because it
conditions the child to grow up to be a psychopath,
because of what they have to go through trying to
understand why their parents did this. This is real. All
of these authors are Jewish. They support the Jewish movement.
(23:12):
The second author, David Bachan, I think, actually regrets writing
his book because he thought it was going to be
like expose of why the Jews in Europe should be
sympathized for, and then people went, wait, what's going on here?
It's right in your face, what's going on. They have
a tremendous amount of power. They've always had power, and
it is because what they believe in is evil is okay.
They believe in the doctrine of evil that you must
(23:33):
lower yourselves and commit the most depraved acts of evil
to prove that evil doesn't actually exist, and then you
can ascend in society. That to me seems to be
the guiding philosophy of people in Israel. I would say,
like this idea that you can commit acts of evil
to get ahead in society. When I see what's happening
in Gaza, how do you look at this and not
understand this is evil?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Wow? That's from Candice Ollans. Yes, yes, wow.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
And I hate to make a joke here, but Nelly
Bowls again comments, ma'am, this is a Panera bread. I'm
sorry that is so funny, but.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That is unmitigated calling for the slaughter of Jews. Yeah,
that's the most anti Jew thing I think I've.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Ever heard, and that is I mean, you've got the
Islamists who want to kill the Jews. You've got I
don't even know what to call that part of the
so called right wing. It's a horseshoe theory, but it's
a horseshoe if it was melted and like twisted all
up and it's unrecognizable of is that left?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Right?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
It's crazy. Then you've got the progressive left who bought
the whole settler colonial victim oppresser a genocide crap and
they want to kill the Jews.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Good Lord, I.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Get I've got to accept that this has been around forever,
this right blaming things on the Jews. I still don't
get it, though, I still like, I don't get it
just for some reason why the Jews.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
They are an outsider group and they are successful. Is
it their success a lot of them that damns them
so much? Yeah, that's part of it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
And and the fact that they have different beliefs than
various other groups, and there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Of them, Like it doesn't people don't do those as Buddhists,
I know it's causing this, the Buddhists.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, the Buddhists aren't.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Like, don't value education and hard work, which gets them
then monetary success in the way that the Jews.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Do more nobel prizes than any other group.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Of people and all that sort of stuff, right, right,
So people hate them for that they're nobel prizes. Yeah,
it's it's intellectually lazy, it's morally depraved than I despise it.
The record, I'm always talking about reading Ulysses in the
amount of the main character bloom is Jewish, in the
amount of dealing with people who hate him because he's
(26:02):
Jewish in Ireland in nineteen oh four is just what
it's been around forever. Human beings need scapegoats. That's just
a part of our unholy psychology.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Again, it Remains of the Day, which I read last year,
a famous movie with Anthony Hopkins. A more famous book
is all about the super wealthy powerful in England in
the early twentieth century.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And now they're blaming the Jews. You know what the
problem is, the Jews, right right? Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
So a quick word from our friends at Webroote, then
I'll pay off the Glenn Peck thing I mentioned earlier.
A lot of folks give technology for Christmas and then
the person goes to use it, but maybe they're not
super Internet savvy, or maybe they are, and immediately they

and they active.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Candice Owns had a off the record, quiet sit down,
multi hour meeting with Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica Kicker. Yeah,
and then came out in Badmouth some more. I think
Erica Kirk was thinking, maybe if I just talked to her, now.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
They used to be friends.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Maybe if I just talk to her, I can end
all this so I don't have to be answering these
questions all the time, as Candias Owns puts out this nonsense,
and it didn't work because Candas Owens is a freaking
nut job or just a grifter.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Right right? Both? How old is she? Candis Camas? Yeah,
pretty young? So we google that will Yeah, Katie, how
old is Candas Owens?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I just I'm seriously wondering whether, because psychosis tends to
develop in late teens and twenties, if you're going to
get a psychotic.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Condition, I was just curious, what do you got? See
she's thirty six? Is she really well?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah? So how many years ago was it that we
did that event with her? As before she was huge famous.
We're in Napa decade, probably longer in.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
The way that time goes by so fast.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
But she was a young, very attractive black woman whose
shtick at the time was, you know, we love this
sort of thing was going around saying people who were black,
who say society's holding them back that's ridiculous. Here's why
you can be successful. That was her thing at the time.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And this is a great country, the greatest country in
the world to succeed no matter who you are.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
There's not systemic racism everywhere keeping you from being a success.
You were keeping yourself from being successful. We loved that message,
and we did some event where we're We're the MC's
and she was the main speaker or something like that.
I'd never heard of her in my life until we
got paired with her that night.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
She was weird a little. I remember being weird.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I mean, she she just she was just aloof, like
incredibly aloof. Yeah, I kind of thought maybe it was
like super hot chick disease.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Just like I can't be I don't need to be
talking to any dudes. All dudes are hitting on me
all the time or something. I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
She was just really really weirdly aloof. But she and
her assistant were like super insulated. They wanted to go
contact with outside.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Well, there's just four of us in a room for
a very long time, and it was weird to not
have any more interaction than we had.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
But you know, she turns out to be a complete nutjob.
I would agree.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And I don't know if it's a grift, like almost
entirely a grift, or if she believes all that or
came to believe all that, or or what.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
With all these people, same with what's his name the
guy who's never had sex?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh, yeah, exact? Or does he really believe this stuff?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah, I don't know. I really don't know. Doesn't make
much difference at the end. Don't bother sending us the
email that says, guys, you need to listen to them,
listen to more of them. I forgot some of them right,
and I get the fact that maybe sixty to eighty
percent of it is perfectly reasonable, but have a higher standard.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Hitler made some great highways.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
That doesn't mean that last the bit of his act
was acceptable.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's not the way morality works. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
We've run out of time to do the Glenn Beck thing,
which I really want to do.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
We'll do that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
He interviewed, And this is a get Hanson. If you
weren't so lazy, our executive producer, you would get us
interviews like this.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's time for some Plaine talking pants Christmas.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That's when you do the plane talk. It's time for
your annual review sit down. Glenn Beck booked George Washington.
Is this the festivus airing of the grievances the father
of our country?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Now that's a get. That's pretty good, guest. Yeah, we'll
feature some of that interview coming up.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Okay, that's on the way next. My underwear keep creeping
up on me, the legs of my underwear.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I need.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I need garters that like to my socks and my
underwear that like hold them all in place. Keep my
socks up, keep my underwear down, Katie, there's a gift
idea for you.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm on ITV Jack. Let's see.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Let me search on suck garters to keep underpants from creeping.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Get the petite size. I have very skinny legs. Okay yeah,
oh good lord.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
All right, So our old friend Glenn Beck, who's had
quite a career. We used to know Glenn a little bit.
We were show business friends, but very friendly and enjoyed
his company very much. He and his wife, he does
some really interesting stuff, sometimes partly because he's got a big,
fat budget and he evidently and his people created an
(32:39):
AI George Washington that he then interviewed. Now the funny part,
and I should have gotten a picture for you guys,
But the funny part is the George Washington he created.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It looks like.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Looks like a leading man in the Michael Douglas Fatal
Attraction part of his career, silver Fox, silver main of hair.
And George is very buff in Glen Beck's imagining, very athletic,
solidly built, and he's wearing a slate gray T shirt
at the interview like he's a Hollywood producer or something
(33:21):
which George Washington would never ever do. Is a very
very formal man. Anyway, we'll play a little bit in
comment here. It is Glenn Beck interviewing the father of
our country.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
George.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
We have programmed a lot of information and given you
a lot of information on what's going on in today's
America based on your writings and the writings of the
rest of the founders. What is it that you feel
is the biggest problem or where we should start to
fix things?
Speaker 7 (33:53):
If I may speak plainly, my countryman, the danger the
greatest to our republic lies not in foreign arms or
political faction.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
But marupt you for a second, could you just dumb
it down of just a look.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Okay, I do have twenty nine points and they're all
referenced to exactly what we said in the past.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Speak in today's language. Okay, okay, I get it.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Let me speak to Americans, If I'm honest, America's biggest
problem is in political or economic.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's all moral.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in
the first place. Freedom to be free, you have to
have discipline, you have to have faith, you have to
have character. And if you don't have any of those things, laws,
laws can't stop anything, and I mean little government turns
either weak or oppressive. You have grown skeptical of truth.
(35:00):
You're reckless with debt. You're comfortable blaming instead of building anything.
And in my time, we understood that self governance begins
with self control. Do you even recognize what self control is?
Public virtue matters more than public opinion. You keep collecting
(35:22):
these people expecting things to change, but you haven't changed.
The fix is not going to be found in Washington, DC.
It's going to be found in every home, every school,
every heart. You know, where are the citizens who value
duty over comfort, principle over popularity. America was built to
be a moral and self governing nation. It's only that
(35:45):
foundation that will still save her.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
So putting aside the T shirt and the buff arms,
well done, Glenn. It's funny I didn't find that dumb down. Particularly.
That was exactly right. That is what George Washington would say.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, I think that's clearly right. Part of the problem,
part of the problem, only part of the problem, but
part of the problem is a lot of the morals virtues,
whether you like it or not, came out of being
a religious people. And I know my anti religious.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Friends hate that, hate that, hate that, but it's just
a fact.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
A lot of the like living within your means and
you know, doing the right thing and putting your family, city, state,
country ahead of your wants and all that sort of
stuff came out of religious beliefs.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Well, you know, it's funny they are our atheist friends
would say, you don't need religion to arrive at that
sort of.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Code and right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I always say, is show me the time that that
has happened. Has that happened anywhere on an individual basis?
Somebody of high morals and intelligence absolutely can achieve that course.
But societally speaking religions arose for a reason, multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
We just didn't say you have a relationship with God
and none of us will worry about no moral codes.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
There are reasons for them.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I don't want it to make it that like the
panacea only thing you need to fix the problem, although
it might be pretty close, so I don't know what
are your thoughts on that text line four one five
