Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Coming up Seattle because Seattle is Seattle is going to
have a gay pride themed soccer match as part of
the Big FIFA Championship in North America. Because of the
blind draw of teams. Guess which teams will be playing
the gay Pride match. It's as funny as it could
possibly know.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Wow, okay, look forward to that. Also, my favorite story
of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
A scientist has ranked dozens and dozens of mammals on monogamy.
Where do human beings rank in the list of mammals?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, Yes, slutty slutty chimps. Stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Donald Trump's going to sign an executive order at the
end of the week this week, So in the next
couple of days about AI.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I want to tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
About First, I was scrolling Instagram last night in bed
when I should have been trying to get to sleep,
but I couldn't get to sleep because this dang cough
I keep coughing myself a week. I wondered why you
texted me at the hour you did No, No, I
got medicine.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I keep caught AnyWho. And I'm also I should be reading,
but I'm at the most difficult chapter in Ulysses. As
I continue to try to read this book. It's where
most people stop if they ever make it that far.
It is so freaking hard. And it's an hour and
a half read according to my kindle. So that's a
(01:48):
long chapter.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh chapter, Oh can you describe why it's so hard? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I can?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, So the scene I only know this because I
went to like a crib notes tutor.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I wouldn't have figured this out from the content. They're
at a hospital where a woman is in labor and
gonna have a baby. So the chapter both mimics the
nine months of a pregnancy, including the birth, while demonstrating
the evolution of the English language starting at the very
(02:29):
beginning of the written word till now, what the hell
with the language of the chapter is progressing in a
way analogous to a pregnancy progressing right, good lord, And
it's impossible to have any idea what's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Anyway? Whatever happened to boy meets girl?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So anyway, so I didn't feel like reading that last night,
and I was scrolling through and I came across this
comedian and I wanted to get all the credit because
this is so funny.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Should just play the clip. Elena Hershey is her name.
She's the point.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And I never anybody say this before about how she
has no respect for pro bowlers because she, like most people,
goes bowling like once a year and even then, being
no good at it. Going once a year, not paying attention,
she usually rolls a strike at some point, which is
the best thing you can do in bowling, right.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
There's no other sport where like.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Once a year you can go out and accidentally, half drunk,
not paying attention, do the best thing you can do
in that sport. You don't once a year go to
an ice skating rink, ause, she said, and land a
triple LUTs.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right, just randomly.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Have a beer, step into the batting cage and just
rip one hundred mile per hour fastball in the left center.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, no, that's not happening.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
No other sports like that, you know. Uh, you know,
I thought that was pretty funny. Back to reality.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So, uh, this is from the Wall Street Journal today.
Somehow I missed this truth social from early in the
week Donald Trump, just a couple of weeks ago, the
guy that runs in video that always wears the cool
tom Ford leather jacket, the most vialuable company in the world.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
He told Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
That this patchwork of AI laws across the country, every
fifty states, with a gazillion different kind of laws, is
really going to slow down our ability to maximize AI
and stay ahead of China. And that got Trump's attention, apparently,
And it's a decent argument. I mean, it's beyond a
decent argument. It makes perfectly good sense that the US
(04:44):
needs to avoid a collection of disparate state rules for AI,
setting off a month long frenzy that is expected to
culminate this week in the signing of an executive order.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That will fix that somehow. Trump truth out.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You can't expect a company to get fifty approvals every
time they want to do anything, Trump posted Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That will never work.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And he's expected to sign some executive order and I
don't know how they're gonna word it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
In such a way that that can't happen anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But it's really gonna unshackle these AI companies and let
him scream forward with whatever it is they're trying to do.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
For better or worse.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, I'm extremely skeptical about how successful an executive order
would be in preempting state laws.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Some general, Hey, don't mess with AI. It sounds sill.
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said an executive order doesn't can't
preempt state legislative action.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Me and Ron high five, Ron.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Others in the Republican Party seem open to supporting Trump's approach,
despite their opposition to a moratorium on state AI laws.
A spokesman for Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who's pretty
darn trumpy, who like DeSantis, has criticized state preemption, said
she backs Trump's AI strategy and looks forward to working
with him to win the AI rice while protecting Americans,
(06:06):
which is a nice phrase that doesn't get anywhere near
a solution for the problem.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I can see her chief staff saying, Governor Trump's made
an announcement, do you want to go with the standard
I'm with him gung ho statement because it doesn't matter,
And she said, yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, so what do you think it's going to happen.
I mean, it is true.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
How in the world are we going to not get
surpassed by China if you have to deal with fifty
different states rules for everything you try to do? Right, Yeah,
I should have made my sentiments more clear. They are
as follows. He's right, He's absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
But the executive order won't accomplish much other than saying, hey,
let's look at it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's like one of his truths. Could Congress pass.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
A law, then, yeah, they could pass a federal law,
but I think the chances of that happening are about zero.
There are too many smart people in Congress who would
realize any law we passed today would be outdated tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We're wasting our time.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Republicans have been promoting the preempting of state AI rules
for years. The idea gained momentum in the last year
and a half when Democratic states such as Colorado, here
in California, and New York signed laws imposing guardrails.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
On tech companies.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
And of course, these guardrails are being put in place
by people who have no idea what they're talking about,
because nobody really does, or they're just.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Responding to people's concerns about AI in a way that
won't do any good, but they can portray themselves as hey,
we're trying, We're protecting you and your families.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
An executive order is a clear signal of the administration's
robust commitment to a federal AI governance framework.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
The question now is what that framework will be.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I would say we better do it flipping fast,
like by next week.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh, speaking of tech stuff, I came across this the
other day. I thought it was super interesting. Now the
source is way mo oh, do we have a commercial

My only finally come final comment I would throw in
on what we were just talking about, is China ain't
worried about this at all?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
No, at all, no, no, could not give a crap,
So we're going to try to break on time.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'll squeeze this in very very quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Speaking of artificial intelligence and that sort of thing, self
driving cars are clearly the future.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
According to Wey mo.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's true according to Weimo, which is imperfect, absolutely funny.
Videos surface virtually every day of three way mo's looking
at each other at an intersection for an hour and
a half. But crashes in intersections compared to human drivers
over an equal number of miles driven, crashes in intersections
ninety six percent lower, crashes with pedestrians ninety two percent lower.
(10:00):
Crashes with cyclists or motorcyclists eighty three percent lower. Anybody
who rides a bike a motorcycle can tell you, because
we you all know if people are looking for cars,
they don't see motorcycles. Nobody can exactly explain it, but
people will turn left right in front of a motorcycle
(10:21):
that's got a blazing headlight and it's coming at them anyway.
Lateral crashes, it's merely a seventy three percent decrease. And
as one writer commented after these statistics, challenge you to
go for a walk around in any American city. See
what the drivers are doing while they drive texting. They're
all texting. It's no longer texting while driving. People are
(10:42):
driving while texting.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Anyway. The gay themed.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Seattle soccer match, everybody's so excited about coming up and
hilarious matchup for that, plus ranking mammals by their monogamy.
Don't check into that hourly hotel until you hear the
next segment.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And David Ignatius of the Washington Post believes there's hope
for this peace plan between Russia and Ukraine based on
the people he's talking to.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
We can get into that a little bit later. It's
pretty interesting. Stay tuned. Is that Bing Crosby news?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, probably from like the forties. Wow, we're listening to
a White Christmas the ore day. That was the version
of White Christmas by Bing Crosby. Usually here was recorded in.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Forty seven, nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
If I could sing like Bengad, never shut up. So oh,
that's right. First, I got to pay this off. There's
some really interesting news coming out of Britain. They've got
a new kind of woke party and the Islamists and
the Wokists are starting to fight, not surprisingly because their
views are antithetical to each other. Good Lord, anyway, why
(11:54):
a lot of people predict the Conservatives are going to
have a huge breakthrough soon. I certainly hope so so
Seattle gonna Seattle? They got a World Cup match for
the coming FIFA World Championships that are going to be
all across North America. Well, they announced that the big
game's going to be gay Pride themed in Seattle. But
(12:16):
there's a blind draw for who's in what matches, And
they drew Egypt and Iran.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Wow with their gay ride match.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
How perfect is that? Wow?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So the fans of those countries, if they came to watch,
then matches are from countries where you murder homosexuals.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Both Egypt and Iran criminalize gay relationships, and indeed, in Iran,
capital punishment is still the maximum penalty under the law
for being gay or gaying with another person.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, that's correct. So how fricking funny is that? Seattle?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh my god, Oh you're so enlightened. We know you
can shut up now. Anyway, Moving along, how monogamous are
human beings compared to other mammals? And this study, the
scientist assessed monogamy by comparing the number of full and
half siblings in a population. In an exclusively monogamous group,
(13:20):
you'd only ever see full siblings, whereas in a more
promiscuous one, full siblings would be rare.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You'd seen a lot of half brothers.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I'm looking forward to this, and I feel like he
can veer off into a pretty interesting discussion.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I certainly hope.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So here are a couple problems though, with measuring humans.
In most species, who you get it on with maps
pretty well with who you reproduce with.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But in humans, we can.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Have ten years of sexual relationships with various people that
produce no offspring, but then we're married for the rest
of our lives and have three kids.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Do animals have sex for pleasure only? Right? Oh? Well,
that's an interesting question. I don't think so anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Humans in certainly many humans considered it perfectly normal to
It's not a lack of monogamy, it's a lack of
long term relationships. You try various mates until you come
up with the right one, in a way that the
animal kingdom doesn't really do. You can have ten girlfriends
before you get married and be faithful to all of them.
My son last night said, I need to find a
(14:26):
hot chick who really likes dinosaurs and fat guys. It's
with the Internet's made for son anyway. So it's actually
tricky with humans because of birth control as well. There
are very few mammals other than humans that use birth control,
but if you just look at the sibling outcomes, humans
are pretty steadfast. We rank the seventh seventh most monogamous
(14:51):
on the Scientist's lists, coming right below the Eurasian beaver
and above the lar Gibbon. Most faithful mammal they can
find is the California deer mouse. Surprising that in slutty, slutty,
sodomy soaked California you'd have the most monogamous animal, the
(15:12):
California deer mouse. Right, I mean you're you're you're using
terms like faithful or whatever is if. Uh, these are
determinations these beasts are making exactly they've thought it over
and decided. You know, all this slut around is just
making me miserable. I need to find somebody I care
about and settle down.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Or even if even for human beings, you could be
a human being that had I don't know, pick a
number a dozen sexual partners in their life and they
were faithful to all of them, as I said right now,
So in animals it doesn't I don't know how animals
look at it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It doesn't track that way exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So your number one is the California deer mouse, followed
by the African wild dog. How about that, Well, dogs
in America don't look very faithful to me when I
see him in a park coupling.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
There's a mole rat. It was a bitch.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
A mustached tamarin. You see the tamarin with the porn
star stash. You're thinking that's a play. You'd be wrong.
They're monogamous, the mustache tamarin.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Then you got your Ethiopian wolf, you're Eurasian beaver humans,
then a gibbon, a meerkat, and a gray wolf. And
then then you get down to the slutty end of things.
Bottlenosed dolphins, orcas Ma, caqus and black bears took many
of the bottom spots with four percent or lower rates.
This kind of sheep, the so a sheep native to Scotland,
(16:37):
known for their hardiness and small size, and also for
their cheating hearts. Their monogamy rank is zero point six
percent pure siblings or full siblings.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And I gotta believe that's got something.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
To do with their needs for procreating and keeping the
species going right, right, because that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Right, And they make the point that, Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Where is the mustachioed muskrat or whatever you were talking
about is not saying you know, it says in the
Bible that we should not couple with them bubble bad
and they're not into that, right. And they mentioned that overall,
less than ten percent of mammals are monogamous. Typically, males
fight each other for access to females, copulating with as
many as possible giggity to maximize the potential spread of
(17:30):
their genes. Here's the question that fascinates me, and I'm
sure there's science that I'm just not familiar with on
this question, like the classy mustachioed tamarin. Are we genetically
predisposed to monogamy? Or did we decide as human beings
(17:50):
us killing each other constantly to see who mates with
whom is a bad long term strategy. Can we all
calm the hell down, maybe pick a mate and stick
with her.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Oh, I think it's probably of both, evolutionary, I think, yeah,
I think there's all kinds of advantages to monogamy.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, putting religion insights certainly in moral teachings, yeah, I wonder.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, that is interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Some of those slutty slutty animals discussed by the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's sheep, h Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
We didn't have tariffs, you would have no steel. We
wouldn't have one steal mill anywhere in the United States,
and that would be really bad for scott national security.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We need the one thing you need.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You need steal. You know you can give up certain products.
You can give up pencils, guys, under the China policy.
You know, every child can get thirty seven pencils.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
They only need one or two. You know they don't
need that many.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
But you always need, You always need steal. You don't
need thirty seven dollars for your daughter. Two or three
is nice, but you don't need thirty seven dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So Trump, uh, last night kicking off a tour he's
gonna make where he's going to go around talking up
the economy and the wins and that sort of stuff.
But man, continuing on that angle of your kids are
getting too many toys, I just I can't believe that
it's a Jack Armstrongian position that you know, cheap Chinese
(19:15):
crap is no good anyway.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
We were better off when we have bought fewer things
of higher quality. But lecturing America and telling them they
ought to have different consumer habits.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It's an iffy proposition. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. Anyway, maybe
we'll play a little more from his rally last night.
That's what I intended to talk about. I want to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Where we are on this peace deal that Trump has
been pushing and lots of people have been pushing between
Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And I was assuming it was dead.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
But David Ignatius, who is one of the great writers
on foreign policy in America, and as some of the
best sources say, he says people he's talking too close
to the deal. Americans, Ukrainians, and Europeans think this might
actually happen. And here's a simple description, David Ignatius writes
(20:03):
of what a peace deal should look like in Ukraine
a sovereign nation. Obviously, it's borders protected by international security guarantees,
part of the European Union, and rebuilding its economy with
big investments from the United States and Europe.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I was surprised to hear that that's going to happen,
or is likely to happen.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
The negotiating package involves three documents. The Ukrainian officials said.
The peace plan, security guarantees, and an economic recovery plan.
The talks are far from over, with Ukraine and European
supporters planning to rease lease a joint set of amendments today.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Here are some of the ideas.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Ukraine would join the European Union as early as twenty
twenty seven, so a year in change from now.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
This rapid accession to the.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
EU worries some EU powers, but the Trump administration thinks
it can overcome opposition from Hungary, which has been the
biggest opponent, and membership in the U obviously would foster
trade and investment because you'd be part of that whole thing.
The United States would provide Now, this is where I
(21:11):
think it's really interesting for the Magga.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Crowd, the America first crowd. This is none of our
business crowd. The United States would.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Provide what are described as Article five like security guarantees
to protect Ukraine if Russian Russia violates the pact. Ukraine
wants the US to sign such an agreement and have
Congress ratify it. European nations would sign separate security guarantees.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And the Russians are going to agree to that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It's de facto NATO membership, isn't it or something?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I mean, what's the difference between NATO and this does
make any difference if it's called NATO, and would Congress
ratify that? Would the America first crowd be on board
with that guaranteed? If Russian invades again, tries to take Kiev,
we're at war with Russia. I'm not sure what I
(22:03):
think of that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, I'm making my bad smell face. David Ignatius is
a good writer and an insightful one. If he thinks
it's in a shape that could turn into something acceptable,
I believe him.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
He said, this is what the sources from the United States,
Ukraine and other Ukraine countries are telling him.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Are the deal right? I'd like to note their level
of certainty or optimism.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Part of the reasoning is that Zelenski can't sell anything
to his country short of this sort of guarantee.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Really, man, that would be something, though we have.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
An attack on one as an attack on all agreement
with Ukraine with Russia right there, however, many miles from
Kiev and a lot of people, assuming that Vlad would
just bide his time restock his coffers with bullets, et cetera,
and then go back to trying to take over the
entire country.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And that sounds like it would be very very west
leaning the nature of Ukraine in a way that the
Russians can't accept. I'm very very skeptical, partly because Putin
always has as his option, you know what, I'm going
to pound him for three more months, then we can
talk again.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Right, Well, we're not even done here yet.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Some of these are so A demilitarized zone that's not
really that surprising to me would be established along the
entire ceasefire line all the way from the Dunetes province
in the northeast to the cities further south. Behind this
DMZ would be a deeper zone in which heavy weapons
would be excluded. This line would be closely monitored.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It'd be like the DMZ.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That divides North and South Korea. So it wouldn't be
that easy for Russia.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
To just roll right through it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I mean, you'd see them coming right closely monitored by
whom and with what enforcement mechanisms.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It reminds me of.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
The bizarre situation where we at various times have come
up with these agreements with Iran about inspecting their nuclear facilities.
Then sometimes they just say, nah, you can't come into
this plant, and the people stamp their feet and write
strong letters and file aggrievance and then we go on
with our lives. Well.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
And also in terms of the United States, yeah, sure
we got your back if they invade you, just like
we said in the early nineties when you gave up
your nuclear weapons and we signed what.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Is it the Buddhapest Paper or whatever it's called.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
We signed an agreement saying we'll protect you from foreign invaders, just.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Give up your nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
And we didn't, right right, And then this part they
got that big giant nuclear power, the largest nuclear plant
in all of Europe is in Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
We've talked about that before.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
The Zaparisia Nuclear power Plant would no longer be under
Russian occupation. Negotiations are discussing the possibility that the United
States achover running the facility.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
M All right, there's a lot here.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
David Ignatius throws in his opinion here by saying, the
biggest mistake Trump can make is to insist that it's
now or never. Diplomacy doesn't work that way, and as
Trump has said many times, including in his book, the
worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is
seem desperate to make it. That makes the other guy
smell blood, and then you're dead. Trump's definitely not looking
like he's desperate to make a deal. Putin certainly isn't right.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Trump should make a reasonable deal that will last.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Otherwise he might end up with nothing in this miserable
conflict could enter an even more destructive phase. Yeah, I
just I think Trump, speaking of being too hot to
trot for various things, it's too hot to trot for
hanging another hide on his wall. Look, he brought peace
between Ukraine and Russia, and Russia sitting there thinking I'm
not observing this, and Ukraine's thinking this ain't gonna work well.
(25:58):
But Trump still gets to point to the But if
it's like that, But if it's this deal that's not
given away the farm, I mean, if they've got ratified
by Congress written guarantees that the United States jumps in
if Russia invades again, holy crap. Yeah, yeah, I'm extremely
skeptical that something like this will become the agreement.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't know about either end of it.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I don't know that Putin would say sure, I'm fine
with that deal or that our Congress would ratify it,
and I'm not sure I'm in favor of it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I'd have to think about it more.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But right, well, let's talk about arming them some more,
giving them a long range of repens or can we
kick Germany again and tell them to give Ukraine more
arms before we say yeah, we'll commit American boys if Russian?
If Russia across as the trip wire, there's a lot
here that stinks.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
How would we leap all the way from we're not
sure we should give you that weapon or not too?
We're at war with Russia if they go any further.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That seems like a hell of a jump unless it's
a hollow promise. It's really easy to make hollow promises. Well,
that'd be pretty awful, correct, You do that a couple
of times and nobody believes anything you say?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That would be awful? Again?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yes, right, oof, okay, but that's where it stands currently
and again ignacious. His sources say that that is feasible, possible,
could actually happen.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That's what they're working on.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, pray for peace, prepare for war, and prepare for
hackers and akers, robbers and his bastards who try to

of people are given tablets and smartphones and that sort
of thing, but a lot of folks don't aren't really

think I almost did today. I got one from Audible Books.
You're about to lose your credits or something like that.
I thought, well, that can't be and I went to Clary.
I thought, wait a second, that the right number of credit. Yeah,
so there's just somebody hoping I have Audible Books and
we click on it. That's how easy it is to

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Well, given the cost of zapping out those messages, which
is nil. If you get a one in fifty thousand
response rate, it's a huge win. Yeah, no kidding, Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaking of technology, I thought this was cool. It's good news,
good news. Do you know about gabro jack gabro gabb
r o. It's an unremarkable rock, so cheap and abundant.
(29:45):
It's used for gravel and building roads. But it might
be part of how we break our dependence on China's
critical minerals.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So it's the opposite of a critical mineral. There's plenty
of it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
No, no, you gett minerals from common rocks.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
It takes technology, chemistry, all sorts of stuff to isolate
the useful stuff from less useful stuff. I didn't even
take a chemistry class, much less excel in it. But
Silicon Valley Hears, Oakland, California, a startup called Brimstone is
processing this gabbre with proprietary chemistry and off the shelf
(30:23):
equipment to produce aluminum, magnesium and other minerals frequently imported
from China.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
There's a huge boom in all.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Right, let's get loose of dependence on China on these
critical minerals and rare earths and the rest of it,
which is great. I'm tempted to go off on my
Isaac Newton alchemy tangent, which I've been holding on to
for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
But maybe some other day.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Wow, wait a minute, that sounds intriguing. Science y. He
was more an alchemist than he was a mathematician, and
we didn't know this until fairly recently.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Really being a bit of a hah place all for
religious reasons.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
He's a very religious guy, but he had to hide
that at the time because it was so uncool.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Alchemy or mathematics alchemy.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Oh okay, all right, Yeah, I'm not super up on
the history of They were trying to turn lead into gold.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I read that in school. That's not what alchemy mostly is.
For some reason, we were misled about that our whole schools.
Damn schools.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Wow, it's mostly a religious thing. What Yeah, Now you
gotta tell us, Well, I don't know if I do. Anyway,
we got more on the way.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Stay here and listen to this.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Trump just threatened to raise tariffs on Mexico by five
percent if they don't send more.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Water to the US. Smart.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
If there's one thing I feel totally confident in, it's
water for Mexico.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Remember when we learned several years ago that that whole
uh don't drink the water thing is pretty much true
anywhere you go in the world, just because your body
has become accustomed to water or wherever you live, and
when you travel to someplace else, their water is different
and often.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Upsets your stomach. And it's not just Mexico. It can
be any first world country where that happens. I'd say,
I didn't I miss that or didn't know it or something.
I mean, because in Mexico you'll be very, very sick.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
But it can happen anywhere just because you're not used
to Like the people whom Mexico don't get sick from
drinking the water because their bodies have accustomed to it.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is the theory. I don't know. I didn't do the science.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I didn't do the scrink water and a lot of
places around the world and done fine.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But true, although I have drink water Mexico and done fine.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
So uh So I was talking about Isaac Newton in
alchemy like we always do on Wednesdays. So I was
on this Isaac Newton cake about a year ago or whatever,
and read a couple of books about it.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
And he's understudied absolutely fascinating dude, and I get pulled
into it actually by this secret stuff we learned about
him not that many years ago. Isaac Newton, father of
mathematics and then in ventor of all these physical principles,
you know, laws of motion and all these different things.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
But his main thing that.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
He had to hide there in England in the lateeen
sixteen hundreds because the religious climate was religion. He was
a very, very devout religious person, but his particular view
of the relationship between Jesus and the Church and all
these different things wasn't what was in favor at the time,
and he would have gotten thrown in jail if his
thinking in writings had been out loud. So he was
(33:26):
really into alchemy, which we were taught in school was
all about turning lead into gold, which it often was,
but that was not primarily the reason for alchemy, and
I kind of wonder why books didn't tell us this
at the time.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I think there's maybe a reason. It was mostly a
religious thing it was about.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
It had to do with the way human beings can change,
and blood into water and all these different sorts of things,
fitting in with the Bible and their theological beliefs. It
wasn't just purely we could take lead, which is easy
to find, and turn into gold and become rich. It
was way more a god thing, and I think they
wanted to downplay that for some reason. Anyway, Isaac Newton,
(34:02):
one of the greatest scientists of all time, was.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Super into it. He wrote more about.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
This than he did about anything about gravity or anything else.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
He wrote more about this, but it was hidden and
nobody saw the papers until the nineteen thirties. Isaac Newton's
papers went up for auction in the nineteen thirties, and
because the famous economist Keynes of England, that Keynes is
(34:31):
in Kingsian economics, he John Maynard Keynes, he bid on them,
won the Isaac Newton papers and discovered all these writings
about all of his theological spiritual.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Stuff about alchemy. Nobody knew that Isaac Newton had.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
This side to him until Keenes, the economist, bought these
papers and then wrote a couple of books about it
and revealed it to the world. He was more a
theologian than he was a into physics, but he had
to hide.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
One from Wow wow, how interesting. Brilliant guy. Obviously one
of the more Balan bear times, maybe I'll go ahead
and invent modern mathematics.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
One of the more brilliant people that have ever lived.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
And the fact that he had to hide all that
from everybody, and it just fairly recently got discovered by a.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Famous economist, which, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
All of history is grossly oversimplified, partly because you almost
have to.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Although I just ran into a great.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Unmasking of the idiot sixteen nineteen project in the notion
that American slavery was so much worse than we and
we really invented slavery in the United States, Oh my god,
is so much worse than other slavery in other parts
of the world. And this obsession with self hatred and
it's just not based on fact at all. But if
somebody with an authoritative sounding title tells a bunch of
(35:49):
youngsters that that's the truth, they believe it and he
can't believe, you can't blame them, really, And it's troubling
because we've got a couple of generations of people with
really perverse beliefs about this country and they're one hundred
percent certain that they're right. What are you gonna do
do a better job of policing?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
What's going on in schools.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
For one thing, No freaking kidd, there's a decent chance
that book is being taught in your kid's school. Oh yeah, absolutely,
particularly in Blue states. Yes, it's absolutely obscene. And it's horses.
It comes out of the south side of a northbound horse.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yes it does. I mean, for one thing, the incredibly tiny.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Percentage of the Atlantic slave trade that ended up in
the continental United States. I mean it's a tiny percentage.
The vast majority of the slaves were sent to Central
and South America, and there's well, what time is it now,
We don't have time for this, but uh, maybe we'll
get onto that another time. But the many, many, many,
(36:49):
many more slaves survived in the territory that became the US,
or in the US than in South America, which is
why they have a lot of descendants here, because if
you were sent to the to clear the jungles of Brazil,
you're gonna die. Anyway, more on that another time. Are
human beings designed to be monogamous? I've actually done more
(37:10):
reading on that question. It's interesting, Oh, very interesting. Huh okay,
I feel like we are. But you think that maybe
that's just a I don't know, we'll discuss that.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Don't pressure dirty words in my mouth. Have you missed the.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Segment of an hour get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand much more.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
You're strong and
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Coming up Seattle because Seattle is Seattle is going to
have a gay pride themed soccer match as part of
the Big FIFA Championship in North America. Because of the
blind draw of teams. Guess which teams will be playing
the gay Pride match. It's as funny as it could
possibly know.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Wow, okay, look forward to that. Also, my favorite story
of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
A scientist has ranked dozens and dozens of mammals on monogamy.
Where do human beings rank in the list of mammals?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, Yes, slutty slutty chimps. Stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Donald Trump's going to sign an executive order at the
end of the week this week, So in the next
couple of days about AI.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I want to tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
About First, I was scrolling Instagram last night in bed
when I should have been trying to get to sleep,
but I couldn't get to sleep because this dang cough
I keep coughing myself a week. I wondered why you
texted me at the hour you did No, No, I
got medicine.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I keep caught AnyWho. And I'm also I should be reading,
but I'm at the most difficult chapter in Ulysses. As
I continue to try to read this book. It's where
most people stop if they ever make it that far.
It is so freaking hard. And it's an hour and
a half read according to my kindle. So that's a
(01:48):
long chapter.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh chapter, Oh can you describe why it's so hard? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I can?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, So the scene I only know this because I
went to like a crib notes tutor.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I wouldn't have figured this out from the content. They're
at a hospital where a woman is in labor and
gonna have a baby. So the chapter both mimics the
nine months of a pregnancy, including the birth, while demonstrating
the evolution of the English language starting at the very
(02:29):
beginning of the written word till now, what the hell
with the language of the chapter is progressing in a
way analogous to a pregnancy progressing right, good lord, And
it's impossible to have any idea what's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Anyway? Whatever happened to boy meets girl?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So anyway, so I didn't feel like reading that last night,
and I was scrolling through and I came across this
comedian and I wanted to get all the credit because
this is so funny.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Should just play the clip. Elena Hershey is her name.
She's the point.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And I never anybody say this before about how she
has no respect for pro bowlers because she, like most people,
goes bowling like once a year and even then, being
no good at it. Going once a year, not paying attention,
she usually rolls a strike at some point, which is
the best thing you can do in bowling, right.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
There's no other sport where like.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Once a year you can go out and accidentally, half drunk,
not paying attention, do the best thing you can do
in that sport. You don't once a year go to
an ice skating rink, ause, she said, and land a
triple LUTs.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right, just randomly.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Have a beer, step into the batting cage and just
rip one hundred mile per hour fastball in the left center.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, no, that's not happening.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
No other sports like that, you know. Uh, you know,
I thought that was pretty funny. Back to reality.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So, uh, this is from the Wall Street Journal today.
Somehow I missed this truth social from early in the
week Donald Trump, just a couple of weeks ago, the
guy that runs in video that always wears the cool
tom Ford leather jacket, the most vialuable company in the world.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
He told Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
That this patchwork of AI laws across the country, every
fifty states, with a gazillion different kind of laws, is
really going to slow down our ability to maximize AI
and stay ahead of China. And that got Trump's attention, apparently,
And it's a decent argument. I mean, it's beyond a
decent argument. It makes perfectly good sense that the US
(04:44):
needs to avoid a collection of disparate state rules for AI,
setting off a month long frenzy that is expected to
culminate this week in the signing of an executive order.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That will fix that somehow. Trump truth out.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You can't expect a company to get fifty approvals every
time they want to do anything, Trump posted Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That will never work.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And he's expected to sign some executive order and I
don't know how they're gonna word it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
In such a way that that can't happen anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But it's really gonna unshackle these AI companies and let
him scream forward with whatever it is they're trying to do.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
For better or worse.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, I'm extremely skeptical about how successful an executive order
would be in preempting state laws.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Some general, Hey, don't mess with AI. It sounds sill.
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said an executive order doesn't can't
preempt state legislative action.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Me and Ron high five, Ron.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Others in the Republican Party seem open to supporting Trump's approach,
despite their opposition to a moratorium on state AI laws.
A spokesman for Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who's pretty
darn trumpy, who like DeSantis, has criticized state preemption, said
she backs Trump's AI strategy and looks forward to working
with him to win the AI rice while protecting Americans,
(06:06):
which is a nice phrase that doesn't get anywhere near
a solution for the problem.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I can see her chief staff saying, Governor Trump's made
an announcement, do you want to go with the standard
I'm with him gung ho statement because it doesn't matter,
And she said, yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, so what do you think it's going to happen.
I mean, it is true.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
How in the world are we going to not get
surpassed by China if you have to deal with fifty
different states rules for everything you try to do? Right, Yeah,
I should have made my sentiments more clear. They are
as follows. He's right, He's absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
But the executive order won't accomplish much other than saying, hey,
let's look at it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's like one of his truths. Could Congress pass.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
A law, then, yeah, they could pass a federal law,
but I think the chances of that happening are about zero.
There are too many smart people in Congress who would
realize any law we passed today would be outdated tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We're wasting our time.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Republicans have been promoting the preempting of state AI rules
for years. The idea gained momentum in the last year
and a half when Democratic states such as Colorado, here
in California, and New York signed laws imposing guardrails.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
On tech companies.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
And of course, these guardrails are being put in place
by people who have no idea what they're talking about,
because nobody really does, or they're just.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Responding to people's concerns about AI in a way that
won't do any good, but they can portray themselves as hey,
we're trying, We're protecting you and your families.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
An executive order is a clear signal of the administration's
robust commitment to a federal AI governance framework.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
The question now is what that framework will be.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I would say we better do it flipping fast,
like by next week.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh, speaking of tech stuff, I came across this the
other day. I thought it was super interesting. Now the
source is way mo oh, do we have a commercial

My only finally come final comment I would throw in
on what we were just talking about, is China ain't
worried about this at all?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
No, at all, no, no, could not give a crap,
So we're going to try to break on time.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'll squeeze this in very very quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Speaking of artificial intelligence and that sort of thing, self
driving cars are clearly the future.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
According to Wey mo.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's true according to Weimo, which is imperfect, absolutely funny.
Videos surface virtually every day of three way mo's looking
at each other at an intersection for an hour and
a half. But crashes in intersections compared to human drivers
over an equal number of miles driven, crashes in intersections
ninety six percent lower, crashes with pedestrians ninety two percent lower.
(10:00):
Crashes with cyclists or motorcyclists eighty three percent lower. Anybody
who rides a bike a motorcycle can tell you, because
we you all know if people are looking for cars,
they don't see motorcycles. Nobody can exactly explain it, but
people will turn left right in front of a motorcycle
(10:21):
that's got a blazing headlight and it's coming at them anyway.
Lateral crashes, it's merely a seventy three percent decrease. And
as one writer commented after these statistics, challenge you to
go for a walk around in any American city. See
what the drivers are doing while they drive texting. They're
all texting. It's no longer texting while driving. People are
(10:42):
driving while texting.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Anyway. The gay themed.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Seattle soccer match, everybody's so excited about coming up and
hilarious matchup for that, plus ranking mammals by their monogamy.
Don't check into that hourly hotel until you hear the
next segment.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And David Ignatius of the Washington Post believes there's hope
for this peace plan between Russia and Ukraine based on
the people he's talking to.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
We can get into that a little bit later. It's
pretty interesting. Stay tuned. Is that Bing Crosby news?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, probably from like the forties. Wow, we're listening to
a White Christmas the ore day. That was the version
of White Christmas by Bing Crosby. Usually here was recorded in.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Forty seven, nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
If I could sing like Bengad, never shut up. So oh,
that's right. First, I got to pay this off. There's
some really interesting news coming out of Britain. They've got
a new kind of woke party and the Islamists and
the Wokists are starting to fight, not surprisingly because their
views are antithetical to each other. Good Lord, anyway, why
(11:54):
a lot of people predict the Conservatives are going to
have a huge breakthrough soon. I certainly hope so so
Seattle gonna Seattle? They got a World Cup match for
the coming FIFA World Championships that are going to be
all across North America. Well, they announced that the big
game's going to be gay Pride themed in Seattle. But
(12:16):
there's a blind draw for who's in what matches, And
they drew Egypt and Iran.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Wow with their gay ride match.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
How perfect is that? Wow?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So the fans of those countries, if they came to watch,
then matches are from countries where you murder homosexuals.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Both Egypt and Iran criminalize gay relationships, and indeed, in Iran,
capital punishment is still the maximum penalty under the law
for being gay or gaying with another person.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, that's correct. So how fricking funny is that? Seattle?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh my god, Oh you're so enlightened. We know you
can shut up now. Anyway, Moving along, how monogamous are
human beings compared to other mammals? And this study, the
scientist assessed monogamy by comparing the number of full and
half siblings in a population. In an exclusively monogamous group,
(13:20):
you'd only ever see full siblings, whereas in a more
promiscuous one, full siblings would be rare.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You'd seen a lot of half brothers.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I'm looking forward to this, and I feel like he
can veer off into a pretty interesting discussion.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I certainly hope.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So here are a couple problems though, with measuring humans.
In most species, who you get it on with maps
pretty well with who you reproduce with.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But in humans, we can.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Have ten years of sexual relationships with various people that
produce no offspring, but then we're married for the rest
of our lives and have three kids.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Do animals have sex for pleasure only? Right? Oh? Well,
that's an interesting question. I don't think so anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Humans in certainly many humans considered it perfectly normal to
It's not a lack of monogamy, it's a lack of
long term relationships. You try various mates until you come
up with the right one, in a way that the
animal kingdom doesn't really do. You can have ten girlfriends
before you get married and be faithful to all of them.
My son last night said, I need to find a
(14:26):
hot chick who really likes dinosaurs and fat guys. It's
with the Internet's made for son anyway. So it's actually
tricky with humans because of birth control as well. There
are very few mammals other than humans that use birth control,
but if you just look at the sibling outcomes, humans
are pretty steadfast. We rank the seventh seventh most monogamous
(14:51):
on the Scientist's lists, coming right below the Eurasian beaver
and above the lar Gibbon. Most faithful mammal they can
find is the California deer mouse. Surprising that in slutty, slutty,
sodomy soaked California you'd have the most monogamous animal, the
(15:12):
California deer mouse. Right, I mean you're you're you're using
terms like faithful or whatever is if. Uh, these are
determinations these beasts are making exactly they've thought it over
and decided. You know, all this slut around is just
making me miserable. I need to find somebody I care
about and settle down.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Or even if even for human beings, you could be
a human being that had I don't know, pick a
number a dozen sexual partners in their life and they
were faithful to all of them, as I said right now,
So in animals it doesn't I don't know how animals
look at it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It doesn't track that way exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So your number one is the California deer mouse, followed
by the African wild dog. How about that, Well, dogs
in America don't look very faithful to me when I
see him in a park coupling.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
There's a mole rat. It was a bitch.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
A mustached tamarin. You see the tamarin with the porn
star stash. You're thinking that's a play. You'd be wrong.
They're monogamous, the mustache tamarin.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Then you got your Ethiopian wolf, you're Eurasian beaver humans,
then a gibbon, a meerkat, and a gray wolf. And
then then you get down to the slutty end of things.
Bottlenosed dolphins, orcas Ma, caqus and black bears took many
of the bottom spots with four percent or lower rates.
This kind of sheep, the so a sheep native to Scotland,
(16:37):
known for their hardiness and small size, and also for
their cheating hearts. Their monogamy rank is zero point six
percent pure siblings or full siblings.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And I gotta believe that's got something.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
To do with their needs for procreating and keeping the
species going right, right, because that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Right, And they make the point that, Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Where is the mustachioed muskrat or whatever you were talking
about is not saying you know, it says in the
Bible that we should not couple with them bubble bad
and they're not into that, right. And they mentioned that overall,
less than ten percent of mammals are monogamous. Typically, males
fight each other for access to females, copulating with as
many as possible giggity to maximize the potential spread of
(17:30):
their genes. Here's the question that fascinates me, and I'm
sure there's science that I'm just not familiar with on
this question, like the classy mustachioed tamarin. Are we genetically
predisposed to monogamy? Or did we decide as human beings
(17:50):
us killing each other constantly to see who mates with
whom is a bad long term strategy. Can we all
calm the hell down, maybe pick a mate and stick
with her.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Oh, I think it's probably of both, evolutionary, I think, yeah,
I think there's all kinds of advantages to monogamy.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, putting religion insights certainly in moral teachings, yeah, I wonder.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, that is interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Some of those slutty slutty animals discussed by the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's sheep, h Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
We didn't have tariffs, you would have no steel. We
wouldn't have one steal mill anywhere in the United States,
and that would be really bad for scott national security.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We need the one thing you need.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You need steal. You know you can give up certain products.
You can give up pencils, guys, under the China policy.
You know, every child can get thirty seven pencils.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
They only need one or two. You know they don't
need that many.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
But you always need, You always need steal. You don't
need thirty seven dollars for your daughter. Two or three
is nice, but you don't need thirty seven dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So Trump, uh, last night kicking off a tour he's
gonna make where he's going to go around talking up
the economy and the wins and that sort of stuff.
But man, continuing on that angle of your kids are
getting too many toys, I just I can't believe that
it's a Jack Armstrongian position that you know, cheap Chinese
(19:15):
crap is no good anyway.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
We were better off when we have bought fewer things
of higher quality. But lecturing America and telling them they
ought to have different consumer habits.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It's an iffy proposition. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. Anyway, maybe
we'll play a little more from his rally last night.
That's what I intended to talk about. I want to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Where we are on this peace deal that Trump has
been pushing and lots of people have been pushing between
Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And I was assuming it was dead.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
But David Ignatius, who is one of the great writers
on foreign policy in America, and as some of the
best sources say, he says people he's talking too close
to the deal. Americans, Ukrainians, and Europeans think this might
actually happen. And here's a simple description, David Ignatius writes
(20:03):
of what a peace deal should look like in Ukraine
a sovereign nation. Obviously, it's borders protected by international security guarantees,
part of the European Union, and rebuilding its economy with
big investments from the United States and Europe.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I was surprised to hear that that's going to happen,
or is likely to happen.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
The negotiating package involves three documents. The Ukrainian officials said.
The peace plan, security guarantees, and an economic recovery plan.
The talks are far from over, with Ukraine and European
supporters planning to rease lease a joint set of amendments today.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Here are some of the ideas.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Ukraine would join the European Union as early as twenty
twenty seven, so a year in change from now.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
This rapid accession to the.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
EU worries some EU powers, but the Trump administration thinks
it can overcome opposition from Hungary, which has been the
biggest opponent, and membership in the U obviously would foster
trade and investment because you'd be part of that whole thing.
The United States would provide Now, this is where I
(21:11):
think it's really interesting for the Magga.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Crowd, the America first crowd. This is none of our
business crowd. The United States would.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Provide what are described as Article five like security guarantees
to protect Ukraine if Russian Russia violates the pact. Ukraine
wants the US to sign such an agreement and have
Congress ratify it. European nations would sign separate security guarantees.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And the Russians are going to agree to that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It's de facto NATO membership, isn't it or something?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I mean, what's the difference between NATO and this does
make any difference if it's called NATO, and would Congress
ratify that? Would the America first crowd be on board
with that guaranteed? If Russian invades again, tries to take Kiev,
we're at war with Russia. I'm not sure what I
(22:03):
think of that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, I'm making my bad smell face. David Ignatius is
a good writer and an insightful one. If he thinks
it's in a shape that could turn into something acceptable,
I believe him.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
He said, this is what the sources from the United States,
Ukraine and other Ukraine countries are telling him.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Are the deal right? I'd like to note their level
of certainty or optimism.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Part of the reasoning is that Zelenski can't sell anything
to his country short of this sort of guarantee.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Really, man, that would be something, though we have.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
An attack on one as an attack on all agreement
with Ukraine with Russia right there, however, many miles from
Kiev and a lot of people, assuming that Vlad would
just bide his time restock his coffers with bullets, et cetera,
and then go back to trying to take over the
entire country.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And that sounds like it would be very very west
leaning the nature of Ukraine in a way that the
Russians can't accept. I'm very very skeptical, partly because Putin
always has as his option, you know what, I'm going
to pound him for three more months, then we can
talk again.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Right, Well, we're not even done here yet.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Some of these are so A demilitarized zone that's not
really that surprising to me would be established along the
entire ceasefire line all the way from the Dunetes province
in the northeast to the cities further south. Behind this
DMZ would be a deeper zone in which heavy weapons
would be excluded. This line would be closely monitored.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It'd be like the DMZ.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That divides North and South Korea. So it wouldn't be
that easy for Russia.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
To just roll right through it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I mean, you'd see them coming right closely monitored by
whom and with what enforcement mechanisms.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It reminds me of.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
The bizarre situation where we at various times have come
up with these agreements with Iran about inspecting their nuclear facilities.
Then sometimes they just say, nah, you can't come into
this plant, and the people stamp their feet and write
strong letters and file aggrievance and then we go on
with our lives. Well.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
And also in terms of the United States, yeah, sure
we got your back if they invade you, just like
we said in the early nineties when you gave up
your nuclear weapons and we signed what.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Is it the Buddhapest Paper or whatever it's called.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
We signed an agreement saying we'll protect you from foreign invaders, just.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Give up your nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
And we didn't, right right, And then this part they
got that big giant nuclear power, the largest nuclear plant
in all of Europe is in Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
We've talked about that before.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
The Zaparisia Nuclear power Plant would no longer be under
Russian occupation. Negotiations are discussing the possibility that the United
States achover running the facility.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
M All right, there's a lot here.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
David Ignatius throws in his opinion here by saying, the
biggest mistake Trump can make is to insist that it's
now or never. Diplomacy doesn't work that way, and as
Trump has said many times, including in his book, the
worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is
seem desperate to make it. That makes the other guy
smell blood, and then you're dead. Trump's definitely not looking
like he's desperate to make a deal. Putin certainly isn't right.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Trump should make a reasonable deal that will last.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Otherwise he might end up with nothing in this miserable
conflict could enter an even more destructive phase. Yeah, I
just I think Trump, speaking of being too hot to
trot for various things, it's too hot to trot for
hanging another hide on his wall. Look, he brought peace
between Ukraine and Russia, and Russia sitting there thinking I'm
not observing this, and Ukraine's thinking this ain't gonna work well.
(25:58):
But Trump still gets to point to the But if
it's like that, But if it's this deal that's not
given away the farm, I mean, if they've got ratified
by Congress written guarantees that the United States jumps in
if Russia invades again, holy crap. Yeah, yeah, I'm extremely
skeptical that something like this will become the agreement.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't know about either end of it.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I don't know that Putin would say sure, I'm fine
with that deal or that our Congress would ratify it,
and I'm not sure I'm in favor of it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I'd have to think about it more.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But right, well, let's talk about arming them some more,
giving them a long range of repens or can we
kick Germany again and tell them to give Ukraine more
arms before we say yeah, we'll commit American boys if Russian?
If Russia across as the trip wire, there's a lot
here that stinks.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
How would we leap all the way from we're not
sure we should give you that weapon or not too?
We're at war with Russia if they go any further.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That seems like a hell of a jump unless it's
a hollow promise. It's really easy to make hollow promises. Well,
that'd be pretty awful, correct, You do that a couple
of times and nobody believes anything you say?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That would be awful? Again?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yes, right, oof, okay, but that's where it stands currently
and again ignacious. His sources say that that is feasible, possible,
could actually happen.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That's what they're working on.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, pray for peace, prepare for war, and prepare for
hackers and akers, robbers and his bastards who try to
steal your identity online. And at Christmas time, a lot
of people are given tablets and smartphones and that sort
of thing, but a lot of folks don't aren't really
super savvy about protecting themselves.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And that's why webroot.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Total protection for the whole family is such a good idea.

Oh, you're blaming it on granny and dumb people. I
think I almost did today. I got one from Audible Books.
You're about to lose your credits or something like that.
I thought, well, that can't be and I went to Clary.
I thought, wait a second, that the right number of credit. Yeah,
so there's just somebody hoping I have Audible Books and
we click on it. That's how easy it is to

Speaker 1 (29:02):
It's pretty clever that they do that.

And like I almost clicked on the audible thing, you know,
they're just hoping that they catch it. Like I get
a PayPal thing every single day, your PayPal account is overdue,
and I know it's not. It's a fake one, and
I don't click on it, and I'm trying to figure

sometimes I get a your buick is got to recall,
And I never owned a buick, so I'm pretty sure
that one doesn't fit.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
But it's an easy one.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Well, given the cost of zapping out those messages, which
is nil. If you get a one in fifty thousand
response rate, it's a huge win. Yeah, no kidding, Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaking of technology, I thought this was cool. It's good news,
good news. Do you know about gabro jack gabro gabb
r o. It's an unremarkable rock, so cheap and abundant.
(29:45):
It's used for gravel and building roads. But it might
be part of how we break our dependence on China's
critical minerals.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So it's the opposite of a critical mineral. There's plenty
of it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
No, no, you gett minerals from common rocks.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
It takes technology, chemistry, all sorts of stuff to isolate
the useful stuff from less useful stuff. I didn't even
take a chemistry class, much less excel in it. But
Silicon Valley Hears, Oakland, California, a startup called Brimstone is
processing this gabbre with proprietary chemistry and off the shelf
(30:23):
equipment to produce aluminum, magnesium and other minerals frequently imported
from China.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
There's a huge boom in all.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Right, let's get loose of dependence on China on these
critical minerals and rare earths and the rest of it,
which is great. I'm tempted to go off on my
Isaac Newton alchemy tangent, which I've been holding on to
for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
But maybe some other day.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Wow, wait a minute, that sounds intriguing. Science y. He
was more an alchemist than he was a mathematician, and
we didn't know this until fairly recently.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Really being a bit of a hah place all for
religious reasons.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
He's a very religious guy, but he had to hide
that at the time because it was so uncool.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Alchemy or mathematics alchemy.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Oh okay, all right, Yeah, I'm not super up on
the history of They were trying to turn lead into gold.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I read that in school. That's not what alchemy mostly is.
For some reason, we were misled about that our whole schools.
Damn schools.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Wow, it's mostly a religious thing. What Yeah, Now you
gotta tell us, Well, I don't know if I do. Anyway,
we got more on the way.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Stay here and listen to this.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Trump just threatened to raise tariffs on Mexico by five
percent if they don't send more.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Water to the US. Smart.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
If there's one thing I feel totally confident in, it's
water for Mexico.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Remember when we learned several years ago that that whole
uh don't drink the water thing is pretty much true
anywhere you go in the world, just because your body
has become accustomed to water or wherever you live, and
when you travel to someplace else, their water is different
and often.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Upsets your stomach. And it's not just Mexico. It can
be any first world country where that happens. I'd say,
I didn't I miss that or didn't know it or something.
I mean, because in Mexico you'll be very, very sick.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
But it can happen anywhere just because you're not used
to Like the people whom Mexico don't get sick from
drinking the water because their bodies have accustomed to it.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is the theory. I don't know. I didn't do the science.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I didn't do the scrink water and a lot of
places around the world and done fine.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But true, although I have drink water Mexico and done fine.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
So uh So I was talking about Isaac Newton in
alchemy like we always do on Wednesdays. So I was
on this Isaac Newton cake about a year ago or whatever,
and read a couple of books about it.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
And he's understudied absolutely fascinating dude, and I get pulled
into it actually by this secret stuff we learned about
him not that many years ago. Isaac Newton, father of
mathematics and then in ventor of all these physical principles,
you know, laws of motion and all these different things.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
But his main thing that.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
He had to hide there in England in the lateeen
sixteen hundreds because the religious climate was religion. He was
a very, very devout religious person, but his particular view
of the relationship between Jesus and the Church and all
these different things wasn't what was in favor at the time,
and he would have gotten thrown in jail if his
thinking in writings had been out loud. So he was
(33:26):
really into alchemy, which we were taught in school was
all about turning lead into gold, which it often was,
but that was not primarily the reason for alchemy, and
I kind of wonder why books didn't tell us this
at the time.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I think there's maybe a reason. It was mostly a
religious thing it was about.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
It had to do with the way human beings can change,
and blood into water and all these different sorts of things,
fitting in with the Bible and their theological beliefs. It
wasn't just purely we could take lead, which is easy
to find, and turn into gold and become rich. It
was way more a god thing, and I think they
wanted to downplay that for some reason. Anyway, Isaac Newton,
(34:02):
one of the greatest scientists of all time, was.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Super into it. He wrote more about.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
This than he did about anything about gravity or anything else.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
He wrote more about this, but it was hidden and
nobody saw the papers until the nineteen thirties. Isaac Newton's
papers went up for auction in the nineteen thirties, and
because the famous economist Keynes of England, that Keynes is
(34:31):
in Kingsian economics, he John Maynard Keynes, he bid on them,
won the Isaac Newton papers and discovered all these writings
about all of his theological spiritual.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Stuff about alchemy. Nobody knew that Isaac Newton had.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
This side to him until Keenes, the economist, bought these
papers and then wrote a couple of books about it
and revealed it to the world. He was more a
theologian than he was a into physics, but he had
to hide.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
One from Wow wow, how interesting. Brilliant guy. Obviously one
of the more Balan bear times, maybe I'll go ahead
and invent modern mathematics.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
One of the more brilliant people that have ever lived.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
And the fact that he had to hide all that
from everybody, and it just fairly recently got discovered by a.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Famous economist, which, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
All of history is grossly oversimplified, partly because you almost
have to.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Although I just ran into a great.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Unmasking of the idiot sixteen nineteen project in the notion
that American slavery was so much worse than we and
we really invented slavery in the United States, Oh my god,
is so much worse than other slavery in other parts
of the world. And this obsession with self hatred and
it's just not based on fact at all. But if
somebody with an authoritative sounding title tells a bunch of
(35:49):

or in the US than in South America, which is
why they have a lot of descendants here, because if
you were sent to the to clear the jungles of Brazil,
you're gonna die. Anyway, more on that another time. Are
human beings designed to be monogamous? I've actually done more
