Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jack, Katie and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The Blue Ghost lunar Lander already harded work firefly spacecraft
making a historic touchdown on the Moon. Blue Ghost teaming
up with NASA, the agency using private companies as advance
scouts before sending humans back to the Moon with the
Artemis Missions. Parts of the spacecraft made with three D printing.
The lander carrying ten specific experiments for NASA, including a
(00:45):
drill and a vacuum to study moondust, along with technology
that can help NASA astronauts navigate future landings.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
A vacuum to study moon dust. You say, cleaning up
the moon vacuum?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Moon?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Great again, that's why the female space trip that they're
Blue Origin.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They're gonna fly the women up there to wield the vacuum.
Is that what you're suggesting, you pig, you monster? Oh
my god, Oh that reminds me. I want to hit
you with two very brief females, the first one speaking
of that sort of joke. Uh powllo, right, So I've
never heard the word miss injury or some people say
miss andry. Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Most people don't even know what it means.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And it means the hatred of men. It's like misogyny
hatred of women. And I'm sure it isn't because nobody
has a hatred of men. At least some fraction of
those who use misogyny and anger are likely misinterests.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And a lot of people use the word in anger.
So why is the word practically unheard of?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
If miss injury is so accepted in ubiquitous that we
don't need a special word for it's just the normal condition.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What gives?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Maybe it's more socially acceptable to hate men than it
is to hate women. Perhaps, but there's got to be
more to it than that. I don't actually think there is.
I think that's it exactly. To hate men is socially
acceptable among the sort of people who throw around words
like misogyny. Anyway, and then I wanted to throw this
then and then make him move along with the show.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But who killed Gene Hackman? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
We received a number of theories via text and email.
This is my favorite for its sure, what were you drinking?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Nos? Guys?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Considering the mummification angle, I think we need to look
at Senator Menendez, right, who had such a close relationship
with Egypt that they were sending him gold bars.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Where do mummies come from? Connect the dots?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow, No, they weren't literally like turned into mummies.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
The obviously designed to provoke misogynist joke that I made
reminded me of the bit on Saturday Night Live with
Shane Gillis where they had an evening newscast and you
add two white anchors and two black anchors, and then
they would start into their news story and try to
predict whether the the person that did the crime was
(03:09):
white or black, and they were keeping score. Wow on
the newscast, Wow, it was pretty funny. A Matthew, a
meph User robbed a bank. That's a white guy, Keenan
Thompson would say. And then it was you know something else,
somebody was selling knockoff T shirts outside a game.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
What are yours? You know? That is edgy but pretty funny. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So coming up, hey, block excuse me, a blockbuster gender
bending madness update with a major new scientific study that
makes it clear that one of the ridiculous claims by
the woke crowd is ridiculous most of us have thought
for a long time. But a couple of bat fever
related stories, and again, perhaps you can cast your memory
(03:57):
back a couple of years to the giant pandemic that
killed millions of people, shut down the schools, unnecessarily screwed
up our kids. Oh my god, headline number one compala Uganda.
Oh that reminds me one other thing I want to
talk about. Tourism to North Korea is on the rise.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I ended up standing up really late last night watching
two different like mini documentaries made by some of the
recent people going to North Korea. North Korea has opened
up for the first time since COVID, so first time
in five years they got people going there, and one
British guy made a little quick documentary that he already posted.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Really interesting to watch, I'll bet it is. I got
to travel around a little bit North Korea and even the.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
You know, obviously they're putting their best spin on how
North Korea looks. Even that is crazy, even the part
that they show the people And you said that was YouTube.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Ah, yeah, I was watching on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Let's come up with a link and post it at
the website, because I'd love see it, and I'm sure other.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Times is it's it's interesting and kind of funny, but
you eventually get to really sad these people, I mean,
they're they're they're being treated like caged animals.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Horrible. Yeah, so if somebody said to you, hey, uh,
I'm thinking of going to North Korea.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'd go immediately if I had the chance.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
My only concern is that as a high profile American,
well medium put, well low profile, but not as low
as some people American, that they concot some phony charge
and trade me for something. Well it's a little tower
beating the crap out of me and starving me for
six months or more.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, that could always happen. This tour group thing that
I was watching looked fairly safe, you know, as long
as you don't do something idiotically tearing a poster down
off the wall or going out of your way too.
But they laid out the rules pretty pretty well. You're
not allowed to talk to anybody and not allowed to
ask any questions. You know, you got to stay with
the bus and only go to the places we tell
you to go to.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, you'd have to. You absolutely have to away.
So a fast spreading mystery ill. This link to bats
has killed scores of people in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
with nearly half dying within forty eight hours of showing symptoms.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Oh boy, the World Health Organization said Thursday, that sounds
significantly worse than what COVID was.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The disease which causes brace yourselves.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What Joe sneezing and flew like symptoms, if.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Only fatigue, the disease that's right in sleepiness. Yeah, the
disease which causes uncontrolled bleeding, vomiting, dia, rahia and other
symptoms of hemorrhagic fever, had infected eleven hundred people and
killed sixty as of a couple of weeks ago. We
(06:50):
did this is Uganda.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
As freaking awful as COVID was, we got pretty lucky
that the first disease to come along that mankind couldn't
stop in a hundred years was something that only killed
the very old or people with you know, other symptoms
or whatever and outlying issues. And for the rest of
us you were pretty damn safe, thank god. I mean,
(07:11):
the fluid of nineteen eighteen. It the healthier you were,
the more likely you were to die. I mean, think
how frightening.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
That would be or this disease you just described, holy
children and young people were virtually one hundred percent fine,
which Randy wine Garten and the teachers mobsters wanted you
to ignore. They pretended was not the case. So anyway,
Congo a country. Oh I'm sorry, how do we get
to the Congo.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Practice practice practice? That's right?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Anyway, So Africa's keepn an eye on a horrendous bat
virus and then.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
In a headline that you cannot believe, Israel.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Wuhan COVID lab planning ominous new bats experiments now quote
unquote ominous from critics of it. Obviously they're not billing
it as Hey, we've got some ominous experiments.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
We're going to start well next month. Is this like
teaching a bat to ride a bike? I mean, that's
an interesting exeenty you think.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That'd have to be a tiny little bike.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Chinese scientists are planning quote unquote ominist o'minist experiment similar
to those that could have triggered the COVID pandemic, experts
have warned. The Wuhan Institute of Virology published new research
this month announcing it had found a bat coronavirus that
can enter human cells similar to COVID nineteen infection. The
paper concludes with calls for further investigation into strains that
(08:41):
have more infectious spike proteins, as well as testing in
human transgenic mice.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
How's that place still open with the same name. I
would think that would have been closed down and moved
somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And we'll never mention this again now. I'm sure Jack
that they've assured the world. Hey, that window that accidentally
left open, we got a nail shut now, so just
don't worry about it. You can trust us with the
level four bio containment hazard debatement crap, even though we've
proved over and over again we're awful.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So that's just a delightful headline.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I hope doctor found involved with his fine standards of safety.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
We would lose our minds if another virus got on
the loose, especially one that was like more deadly and scarier.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
God, I can't imagine how the world would go nuts.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, with although I think I'm not sure I agree
exactly with the experience that we gleaned from the last time.
I think a lot of people, except for like the Teachers'
Union and the hardcore left Trump deranged crowd have realized
where we really overreacted and in what ways.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
We probably do the same thing we do with actual wars,
where you overlearn the lessons. So like, because you went
too far with this, you don't go far enough with
the next one. You know, you get a virus that's
you know, deadly for healthy and young people. But you
got a whole bunch of people. I gotta get me
to wear a mask again, or close down the schools.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, I think they'd be in the minority though, especially
with the Trump administration in charge. So, speaking of the
Trump administration, I got a judgment question for you, and
we can either get into this this hour, tomorrow or whatever.
Trump is in love with tariffs or he claims to
be at least, and he's gonna unleash twenty five percent
tariffs on our two biggest trading partners, Canada and Mexico.
(10:33):
And I've got a really really interesting analysis of what
that would do to prices and why, and it varies
a lot. I do want to do we want to
what do we want to wait to see if he
actually does it tomorrow because they're supposed to go into effect.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Tomorrow, or is it in Trumpian style of bluff.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, right, and then the kind of thing they
do on cable news all the time, were you discuss
a worst case scenario that doesn't happen or isn't likely
to exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, though this is interesting. It's a little like discussing
war with Belgium. I mean, if it's not gonna happen,
why would you bother?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I think we could take Belgium. I like our chances.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Got some great weight loss news, perhaps like the next
big thing after ozempic and Wagovia stuff, the next big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
This could be huge.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
And I want to get to that Gallup poll about
people's attitudes about Israel ain't good. A bunch of other
stuff on the way to stay here.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
DOUN can announce that it will stop charging you more
money if you ask for plant based milk in your coffee,
but they will keep calling you a pussy.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Don't appreciate the language about so phonny joke.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And I would like plant based milk. Plays maybe you're
lactose intolerant. I should not mock you. I apologize and
retract that effort at humor. Uh, yeah, sure, exactly. You
know I hate this. I hate this, but well, I'll
tell the story more fully later. But when anybody comes
(12:09):
to my house a man and we're having coffee and
they want to put something in it, I think.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Less of them. That's funny, So I just a little less.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'm not saying it really alters my opinion, but I think, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How was that way? Most of my life?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I drank my coffee straight black, and then I started
putting cream in it, and I know I've just gotten
used to it. But anytime I'm with my brother, every
time I get some coffee, I put a little cream,
and he said, you put cream in your coffee? Always
kind of gives me it just.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Like eh about that?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yes, Katie, you know it's polar opposite in the female world.
When I go out with my girlfriends and I order
a black coffee, they go, oh are you serious?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Wow? Yeah, totally opposite, my brother giving me the disappointed look.
Every time I love that boy. I tell you what.
I meet a woman.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
You know, I'm married and happily so, but I'm dating
or something and we got for coffee and she goes, no,
make mine black.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'm thinking, wait a minute, this could be love.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
So the worst thing we all learned about weight loss
a few years back. Now is that your body sabotages you.
It's why it works the way it works. You're start
a new diet, you lose weight really fast, seems easy.
Then it like plateaus, and then you gain it all back. Well,
we figured out a couple of years ago. You probably
(13:39):
already know this that your body goes into emergency mode.
Emergency mode.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh, hands on deck. We need to gain that weight back.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
We need to gain that weight back, and it does
everything it can to gain that weight back. Slows your
metabolism down to zero, starts hoarding calories.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It doesn't need.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
It's just it's just awful what the human body does
to try to get to that weight because it thinks
you're starving to death. And you know, evolution hasn't figured out. Yeah,
none of us are starving to death. All right, Trust
there's a McDonald's over there, there's a dunkin Donuts over there.
I ain't gonna starve to death. You don't need to
go into emergency mode. But our body thinks it's you know,
the year of three hundred or something. And I think so,
(14:19):
if we've lost weight, something awful has happened. And you know,
all the bison have disappeared briefly, and until we find
another herd, we're going to starve to death. So it's
got to horde every calorie to make sure we don't
die anyway. So along comes wi Govia and Ozembic. In
what just the last couple of years, they've been hugely
successful at people losing weight, but even that crowd, from
(14:40):
what I understand from this article, they plateaued pretty quickly
and then their body goes into that starvation mode and
then people have had trouble keeping all of it off.
Scientists have discovered the particular gene that causes this problem,
and they think they and they've had some luck in
in mice anyway, turning that around with something that attacks
that gene, so you don't go into that starvation mode
(15:03):
hoarding the calories, etc. You stay in that earlier mode
of the diet. And they've accomplished it in mice and
had no bad sound side effects.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So this might be the next thing that comes on
in the market.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
If this hits the market along with those other things,
well I don't even know if you need those other things.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
If that hits the.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Market, all your diets that you've loved throughout your life
might work again, and who knows this could be the
game changer.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well, right, because if it's just a question of being
disciplined enough to lose it and then going into maintenance
mode and it's a fair fight, and your body isn't
changing the math on you, so that I mean practically
you know exactly the opposite.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
What do they call it?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And when it's a paradoxically inverse relationship but perfectly in
verse relationship. Oh yeah, you can eat ten percent less.
I'm gonna slow your metabolism by ten percent. Oh now
you're eating twenty percent less. What will I do?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I'll slow it down twenty percent.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
You just can't win, right, which is very frustrating. Well,
it's beyond it frustrating. It's it's it makes you wonder
why try feel a little sensitive about this?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Because I walked by a hog farm over the weekend
and they shouted at me, hey makes it a salad.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So wow.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I would have thought the first thing would have struck
you is they have talking pigs. But no, you were
more concerned about your body shape.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You know, that's funny hat it hadn't even occurred to
me yeah, Yeah, you're right. A big gender bending madness
update coming in a moment or three.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I hope you can stick around for that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
One of the great lies of the if I pretend
to be a woman, I am a woman crowd has
been exposed by science.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Did you see the movie on Nora Katie?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
No? I did not see.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Somebody on the show How to watch it? It's on YouTube,
It's on Apple TV. I'll try to at least watch
part of it.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It sounds good. I'll watch.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
It's only two hours long. It's not like one of
those other movies. It was three and a half.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Oh I watched that damn transgender cartel movie. Oh watch
about anything before.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
A little more on the blow up in the Oval Office.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
We got to get to more opinions and stuff and
lots to come up.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Stay here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to run
for mayor of New York City. Cuomo plans to use
his old campaign slogan of Honka honker hey hand jesure
that suggested grabbing boobs.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
If you remember that there already.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Andrew Cuomo was run out of office by a sex
scandal chasing close on his heels the COVID scandal, and
he thinks he's gonna be mayor. Man, these people just
cannot let go of being in office, can they?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One party state, one party city. It makes it a
hell of a lot easier.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
God, you'd think I'm not in jail. I'm still alive. Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I think I'll just coast out the rest of my
life as an old man. Nope, got to be in office.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Combination of ego and greed, Yeah, I think so. A
couple of quick asides before sweetheart darling, oh boy, not
at all creepy, mister governor sir. Two asides, and then
into the bulk of the segment. First acide the black coffee,
fancy coffee thing we were talking about. We cannot escape
and we should not escape our primal past. A man's
(18:24):
duty is to provide, to reproduce, and to fight. A
woman's is to provide, in a different way, to give
birth and nurture children. That is the primal, you know,
imperative of both sexes. And given the fact that being
ready to fight and kill and the rest of it
at a moment's notice is built into being a male
(18:49):
being the sort of guy who demands a fruit fruit
coffee just doesn't fit. Boy, that's not according to that's
not a woman's role. According to almost repreview. I saw
at the movie theater the other night before Captain America.
I was gonna talk about that later.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Every movie where the the girl is the tough guy
and the tough person and the guy is kind of.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh no, I don't think we should do this character
just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. What was I gonna say? I
can't be that, it doesn't matter. Moving along.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Second aside, I am having a banana for my mid
show snack, and as always, eating bananas makes me cough,
and indeed, as Jack knows, eating anything banana flavored makes
me cough.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That really weird.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
No, No, it never occurs to me to ask anybody
who might have any idea, And I doubt there have
been great studies on that phenomena.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Not that debilitating. It doesn't sound like No.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, indeed, I am afflicted with that terrible fate and
I'm only mildly curious.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
So if I don't care, neither does anybody else. Time
for a.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Gender bending man is young update my goodness, minds.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Of progress, But on it goes miss on the heels
of that movie being shut out last night.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Oh clear transphobia, Jack, and not the fact that it
was apparently eleven hour long, tedious steam and pile of garbage.
Ovey was unwatchable but beautifully filmed. Anyway, a couple gender
bending madness updates for you here. Congratulations to the young
lady who demolished the competition by eight feet at the
(20:28):
triple jump at a track meet in California. By eight
feet eight feet, that's right, crushed the competition.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
The fact that he's a dude who claims to be
a girl has nothing to do with the jack.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
This person, I'm not sure if they're eighteen eight.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I haven't been to one of these competitions where this happens.
But how are there any parents there, or any fans
or any competitors? Why is there to be just say
this is ridiculous, we're all leaving.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Uh, well, the second part I don't know about, but
because you're there to watch your kid. But one of
the most interesting reactions to the video, And I should
have had Hanson play the audio even though it's mostly visual,
because this young man jumps eight feet past everybody else
and you can hear among all the crowd, Oh my god,
are you serious? This is awful this, I can't believe this.
(21:21):
That's because they're sane, and the gender bending activists are
utter lunatics. This person and I don't give names because
if it's I don't know what this person's ages, or
if they're an adult, a confused adolescent who has probably
been railroaded by activists.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And cheer led by every step of the way. Uh yeah, exactly,
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I just I don't want to work that. I'd rather
talk about the issue than the person. But this person
who obliterates girls and quashes their dreams because they were
the best triple jumper in California until dude showed up.
He had first place finishes in the high jump, the
long jump, and the triple jump, and really feels like
(22:05):
they can win at the state finals. It was the
big regional track meet. So congratulations, sir. Speaking of that
sort of thing, they're going crazy in Maine over this
Republican lawmaker who is defending women's sports and pointed out
that a person who had just won the big girls
(22:27):
high school track and field event is a biological male
tweeted another day, another instance of an unremarkable biological male
athlete who couldn't win against other males dominating girls' sports
and circled the person in question who was the state champion.
And so the legislator has censured her and said she
can't say a word on the house floor, their legislature
(22:50):
floor until she apologizes, and of course she won't because
she's right. Maine and its wackadoodal governor are full on woke.
So we're making progress in this fight, but it's far
from over. Yet another tail. Transgender activist storm Iowa capital
as lawmakers debate removing gender identity as a protected class,
(23:13):
cause playing as a woman is not a protected class
according to conservatives and moderates. In Idaha in Iowa. But again,
there was a bird flew the new bat virus from
from Uganda.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Probably good lord, I was just gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You didn't attend a big old orgie, did you, because
then you probably got the monkey pox as well.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
No, but I went went to one of those wet
markets and I fished a great bat out of a
barrel of lukewarm water, put it on a stick, and dang,
that's good eating.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I don't care anybody says beautiful beautiful anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So I was trying to do the right thing, and
the very outsized, angry lunatic activist class is trying to
get them to relent. Probably not going to happen. The
bill in question would additionally require birth certificates in Iowa
to reflect the biological reality of a person's sex at birth,
and would redefine sex to mean the state of being
(24:19):
either male or female as observed or clinically verified at birth,
which is precisely what sex is, right, I mean, it
would redefine it as in.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Go back to the definition.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
And the whole trick of starting to use the word
gender and then well, of course gender means you can
be anything you want.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And by the way, sex means the same as gender. No, no,
stop it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Anyway, this is what I wanted to work up to,
because this is really big. This is published in the
Journal of Sexual Medicine and comes from I think Oxford,
is it?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I had that in front of me anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
The headline is examining gender specific mental health risks after
gender affirming surgery, so they use the gender bending madness
approved term of gender affirming surgery. I would I call
it sexual appearance altering surgery? Anyway, it's a national gender
based studaba the background, transgender individuals face heightened psychological distress,
(25:24):
including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, partly due to stigma and
lack of gender affirmation. Their aim is to evaluate mental
health outcomes in transgender individuals with gender just for you
have undergone procedures and the results are. They found out
that males with surgery showed a higher prevalence of depression
and anxiety. Females exhibited similar trends with elevated depression, especially
(25:49):
feminizing individuals. Clinical suggestions is that the claims about you
have to do this or they'll kill themselves are not
only not true, they're the opposite of true.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Oh wow, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
A gender affirming surgery, they write. While beneficial in affirming
gender identity whatever that means, affirming your psychological problem is
associated with increased risk of mental health issues, underscoring the
need for ongoing health support.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Co signing their bs, as they sometimes call it in
the therapy world.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, right, if your little boy thinks he's a pirate,
you poke out his eye and saw off his leg
and get him a parrot. Here's the truth, and I
have laid this on ye before.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
In the vast majority of cases, there are many people
who are uncomfortable in their own skin, uncomfortable with life,
and they spend their life wishing they were someone else
because they're not happy. It's not exactly an uncommon sentiment
in humankind. Some people decide, if I lived here, if
I married her, if I had this car or whatever status,
(26:57):
then I'll be happy and confident and comfortable in my
own skin. Other people think, you know what my problem is,
I'm actually a dude or I'm actually a girl.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
If I were that, then I'd be happy and confident
and comfortable in my own skin. And for a little while,
you're so excited to change.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's like you know, you moved somewhere else and it's
exciting and you're meeting people and the rest of it.
But when the reality sets in that, oh, I'm every
bit as unhappy as I used to be, and I've
altered my life and my ability to have children. I've
browbeaten everybody I know into going along with this, and
it didn't help. That's really blanking depressing, and I sympathize
(27:36):
with those people.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But I the activist type who whisked.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
These people along the conveyor belt for their bizarre ideological
reasons or neo Marxism or whatever it is. You people
are villains. You're either villains or fools or both.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Well, and I'll say, for the tenth time, I know
somebody who is a therapist who said, most therapists go
full in on affirming this, decide to change their sex. Yeah,
and so they they're whisked on down the road as
you just talk about. But this particular therapist said, I've
had a couple of people come in and I talked
them out of it in like a minute.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Right, right, And the vast, vast majority of young people
who struggle with this stuff grow.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Out of it. Study after study has shown that.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
So again, the people who whisked them down the conveyor
belt are either evil or fools or both. It's a
gender bending madness update.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
There you have.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
We got to nail down the hole it's going on
with Jeffrey Epstein files. I can't quite figure that out.
I can't figure out what people's attitudes are. I was
bouncing around on social media and there's a lot of
of the maga world that was really looking forward to
the Epstein Files coming out last week, and then Pam
BONDI stop somehow, and now she's in on it, or she's.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Saying it's the row GEFTBI that won't give it up.
So cash Ptel's like heighten the not the theory, or
his underlings aren't giving him cooperation. I don't know I
have it's not really my priority me either. That story
out me either while I'm busy solving the mystery of
the death of Gene Hackman.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
For instance, Yes, Katie uh headline from the Babylon b
claiming that the Epstein Files shredded themselves.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
That's clever, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
We got a little more on the blow up in
the Oval office from Friday, some more commentary on that,
among other things, stay here, hey, you gotta be more thankful,
because let me.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Tell you, you don't have the cards.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
With us, you have the cards, but without us, you
don't have any cards.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And what you're doing is.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Very disrespectful to the country, this country. Have you said
thank you once that entire meeting, No, in this entire
meetia have you said thank you?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I don't like that vibe. But again you got to
take in the whole thing. Well, I wish it hadn't
happened at all. I don't think it benefited anybody other
than as practically everybody has said it benefited Vladimir Putin.
But some of my favorite pundits who I know are
hard core Zolensky fans. Well first of this, so tweeted
(30:28):
out about this on Friday. We caught the very end
of it on Friday, said a couple of things, and
then got lots of response on social media. So now
you guys understand that he is a corrupt dictator Charlatan order.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, I don't know. That didn't prove that at all.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
No, No, he handled this poorly, But you know, none
of that other stuff is true anyway. Lex Friedman, I
don't know if you ever listen to his podcasts, one
of the most popular podcasts in the world, and he
is he was born in Ukraine or Russia, and he
is big time on the side of we got to
spport Ukraine. Anyway, This is what he tweeted out afterwards
on Friday. The amount of disrespect President Zelensky showed to
(31:05):
Donald Trump and the American people today was insane. This
was a mistake. I have tremendous respect for President Zelensky
for the heroic actions he took in the early days
of the war, but diplomacy at this stage obviously required
showing respect to world leaders, even more so during these tense,
difficult peace negotiations.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
So I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
And then from the National Review, which mostly in the
National Review see on the right or publications and podcasts
and TV shows where you have differing opinions, as opposed
on the left, where all their publications, podcasts and TV
shows everybody exactly agrees. I don't know what that's all about.
But a National Review, most of the writers there are
(31:48):
big fans of a supporting Ukraine and think it's important
and like Zelensky, and Rich Lowry is one of them,
but he wrote this is Zelensky an idiot as someone
who wishes Ukraine well. I was shocked at how poorly
Zelensky handled yesterday. It was complete malpractice. It was wrong
of Trump and Vance to braid him the way they did.
But if you are a vulnerable foreign leader in a
situation where the president of your leading patron mightrate you
(32:11):
in public, the priority is not to get berated. Nothing
else matters, not your pride, not points of substantive disagreement,
not your potential peak at sitting in close proximity to
one of your fiercest critics, in the person of JD.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Vance.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
If Zilensky had been playing by these rules, the first
thing he should have done was wear a business suit.
If you would have been, it would have been notable,
signed as a sign of respect and would have removed
a point of.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Friction with Trump. That's what I was talking about earlier.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You know, he really hates that that you're not wearing
a suit, So I guess just wear a suit because
he hates that so much. If he and his team
are halfway competent, they would take an account of the
fact that the president supporters absolutely hate his fatigues. It
also made Zelensky seem smaller when things went south, that
he wasn't dressed appropriately. That is a weird visual thing,
(32:57):
but I think I agree with that. When I said
this on Acts, people replied that Elon Musk doesn't wear
a suit in the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
True.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
When Zelensky has named the head of DOGE, he can
do the same and get away with it. In the meantime,
it would have cost him absolutely nothing to violate his
satorial practice for one very important day. Then there was
the substance of the Oval Office meeting. All Zelensky needed
to do was say, one, the war never would have
happened if Trump had been president. Two, I appreciate the
efforts for peace. Three Ukrainians two want peace, but also
(33:26):
what's best for our country. Four and I look forward
to our discussions. Wash went rinse and repeat.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
If he had done that, he'd come out just fine,
And it wasn't difficult when the whole thing blew up.
He couldn't even manage to sound appropriately regretful on Special
Report in the afternoon on Fox, which wouldn't have been
hard either. You can root for good reason the way
that Trump views this conflict in how he expects to
get fluffed by people he meets and talks with. But
it's reality. All sorts of foreign actors have taken this
(33:53):
on board and reacted accordingly to protect their interests, except
the one guy who has the most to lose by
stupidly refus using to play by the simple, easy to
understand rules. Zelensky dressed in his usual fashion and scored
some nice debating points in the Oval Office yesterday.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
What did that get him or his country? And to
not well as usual.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I agree completely with rich and to not have the
diplomatic phrase handy something the effect of when Trump says,
you know what, I think we can deal with Putin.
We can make a deal with them, to not have
a Hey, there are challenges ahead. I'm always cautious about
(34:36):
dealing with Putin, but with the President's help, I'm sure
we can come to a good outcome.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
That's a way of saying that's not settled, but and
not arguing with who whoa whoa.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
You can't trust Putin on TV? No, no, no, you can't. No,
that's not a good idea. Sh His advisors were thinking,
we do four hours every day.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
If you miss a segment or an hour, get the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand our four on the
Way
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jack, Katie and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The Blue Ghost lunar Lander already harded work firefly spacecraft
making a historic touchdown on the Moon. Blue Ghost teaming
up with NASA, the agency using private companies as advance
scouts before sending humans back to the Moon with the
Artemis Missions. Parts of the spacecraft made with three D printing.
The lander carrying ten specific experiments for NASA, including a
(00:45):
drill and a vacuum to study moondust, along with technology
that can help NASA astronauts navigate future landings.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
A vacuum to study moon dust. You say, cleaning up
the moon vacuum?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Moon?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Great again, that's why the female space trip that they're
Blue Origin.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They're gonna fly the women up there to wield the vacuum.
Is that what you're suggesting, you pig, you monster? Oh
my god, Oh that reminds me. I want to hit
you with two very brief females, the first one speaking
of that sort of joke. Uh powllo, right, So I've
never heard the word miss injury or some people say
miss andry. Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Most people don't even know what it means.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And it means the hatred of men. It's like misogyny
hatred of women. And I'm sure it isn't because nobody
has a hatred of men. At least some fraction of
those who use misogyny and anger are likely misinterests.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And a lot of people use the word in anger.
So why is the word practically unheard of?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
If miss injury is so accepted in ubiquitous that we
don't need a special word for it's just the normal condition.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What gives?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Maybe it's more socially acceptable to hate men than it
is to hate women. Perhaps, but there's got to be
more to it than that. I don't actually think there is.
I think that's it exactly. To hate men is socially
acceptable among the sort of people who throw around words
like misogyny. Anyway, and then I wanted to throw this
then and then make him move along with the show.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But who killed Gene Hackman? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
We received a number of theories via text and email.
This is my favorite for its sure, what were you drinking?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Nos? Guys?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Considering the mummification angle, I think we need to look
at Senator Menendez, right, who had such a close relationship
with Egypt that they were sending him gold bars.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Where do mummies come from? Connect the dots?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow, No, they weren't literally like turned into mummies.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
The obviously designed to provoke misogynist joke that I made
reminded me of the bit on Saturday Night Live with
Shane Gillis where they had an evening newscast and you
add two white anchors and two black anchors, and then
they would start into their news story and try to
predict whether the the person that did the crime was
(03:09):
white or black, and they were keeping score. Wow on
the newscast, Wow, it was pretty funny. A Matthew, a
meph User robbed a bank. That's a white guy, Keenan
Thompson would say. And then it was you know something else,
somebody was selling knockoff T shirts outside a game.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
What are yours? You know? That is edgy but pretty funny. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So coming up, hey, block excuse me, a blockbuster gender
bending madness update with a major new scientific study that
makes it clear that one of the ridiculous claims by
the woke crowd is ridiculous most of us have thought
for a long time. But a couple of bat fever
related stories, and again, perhaps you can cast your memory
(03:57):
back a couple of years to the giant pandemic that
killed millions of people, shut down the schools, unnecessarily screwed
up our kids. Oh my god, headline number one compala Uganda.
Oh that reminds me one other thing I want to
talk about. Tourism to North Korea is on the rise.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I ended up standing up really late last night watching
two different like mini documentaries made by some of the
recent people going to North Korea. North Korea has opened
up for the first time since COVID, so first time
in five years they got people going there, and one
British guy made a little quick documentary that he already posted.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Really interesting to watch, I'll bet it is. I got
to travel around a little bit North Korea and even the.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
You know, obviously they're putting their best spin on how
North Korea looks. Even that is crazy, even the part
that they show the people And you said that was YouTube.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Ah, yeah, I was watching on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Let's come up with a link and post it at
the website, because I'd love see it, and I'm sure other.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Times is it's it's interesting and kind of funny, but
you eventually get to really sad these people, I mean,
they're they're they're being treated like caged animals.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Horrible. Yeah, so if somebody said to you, hey, uh,
I'm thinking of going to North Korea.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'd go immediately if I had the chance.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
My only concern is that as a high profile American,
well medium put, well low profile, but not as low
as some people American, that they concot some phony charge
and trade me for something. Well it's a little tower
beating the crap out of me and starving me for
six months or more.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, that could always happen. This tour group thing that
I was watching looked fairly safe, you know, as long
as you don't do something idiotically tearing a poster down
off the wall or going out of your way too.
But they laid out the rules pretty pretty well. You're
not allowed to talk to anybody and not allowed to
ask any questions. You know, you got to stay with
the bus and only go to the places we tell
you to go to.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, you'd have to. You absolutely have to away.
So a fast spreading mystery ill. This link to bats
has killed scores of people in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
with nearly half dying within forty eight hours of showing symptoms.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Oh boy, the World Health Organization said Thursday, that sounds
significantly worse than what COVID was.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The disease which causes brace yourselves.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What Joe sneezing and flew like symptoms, if.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Only fatigue, the disease that's right in sleepiness. Yeah, the
disease which causes uncontrolled bleeding, vomiting, dia, rahia and other
symptoms of hemorrhagic fever, had infected eleven hundred people and
killed sixty as of a couple of weeks ago. We
(06:50):
did this is Uganda.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
As freaking awful as COVID was, we got pretty lucky
that the first disease to come along that mankind couldn't
stop in a hundred years was something that only killed
the very old or people with you know, other symptoms
or whatever and outlying issues. And for the rest of
us you were pretty damn safe, thank god. I mean,
(07:11):
the fluid of nineteen eighteen. It the healthier you were,
the more likely you were to die. I mean, think
how frightening.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
That would be or this disease you just described, holy
children and young people were virtually one hundred percent fine,
which Randy wine Garten and the teachers mobsters wanted you
to ignore. They pretended was not the case. So anyway,
Congo a country. Oh I'm sorry, how do we get
to the Congo.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Practice practice practice? That's right?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Anyway, So Africa's keepn an eye on a horrendous bat
virus and then.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
In a headline that you cannot believe, Israel.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Wuhan COVID lab planning ominous new bats experiments now quote
unquote ominous from critics of it. Obviously they're not billing
it as Hey, we've got some ominous experiments.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
We're going to start well next month. Is this like
teaching a bat to ride a bike? I mean, that's
an interesting exeenty you think.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That'd have to be a tiny little bike.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Chinese scientists are planning quote unquote ominist o'minist experiment similar
to those that could have triggered the COVID pandemic, experts
have warned. The Wuhan Institute of Virology published new research
this month announcing it had found a bat coronavirus that
can enter human cells similar to COVID nineteen infection. The
paper concludes with calls for further investigation into strains that
(08:41):
have more infectious spike proteins, as well as testing in
human transgenic mice.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
How's that place still open with the same name. I
would think that would have been closed down and moved
somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And we'll never mention this again now. I'm sure Jack
that they've assured the world. Hey, that window that accidentally
left open, we got a nail shut now, so just
don't worry about it. You can trust us with the
level four bio containment hazard debatement crap, even though we've
proved over and over again we're awful.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So that's just a delightful headline.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I hope doctor found involved with his fine standards of safety.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
We would lose our minds if another virus got on
the loose, especially one that was like more deadly and scarier.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
God, I can't imagine how the world would go nuts.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, with although I think I'm not sure I agree
exactly with the experience that we gleaned from the last time.
I think a lot of people, except for like the Teachers'
Union and the hardcore left Trump deranged crowd have realized
where we really overreacted and in what ways.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
We probably do the same thing we do with actual wars,
where you overlearn the lessons. So like, because you went
too far with this, you don't go far enough with
the next one. You know, you get a virus that's
you know, deadly for healthy and young people. But you
got a whole bunch of people. I gotta get me
to wear a mask again, or close down the schools.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, I think they'd be in the minority though, especially
with the Trump administration in charge. So, speaking of the
Trump administration, I got a judgment question for you, and
we can either get into this this hour, tomorrow or whatever.
Trump is in love with tariffs or he claims to
be at least, and he's gonna unleash twenty five percent
tariffs on our two biggest trading partners, Canada and Mexico.
(10:33):
And I've got a really really interesting analysis of what
that would do to prices and why, and it varies
a lot. I do want to do we want to
what do we want to wait to see if he
actually does it tomorrow because they're supposed to go into effect.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Tomorrow, or is it in Trumpian style of bluff.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, right, and then the kind of thing they
do on cable news all the time, were you discuss
a worst case scenario that doesn't happen or isn't likely
to exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, though this is interesting. It's a little like discussing
war with Belgium. I mean, if it's not gonna happen,
why would you bother?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I think we could take Belgium. I like our chances.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Got some great weight loss news, perhaps like the next
big thing after ozempic and Wagovia stuff, the next big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
This could be huge.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
And I want to get to that Gallup poll about
people's attitudes about Israel ain't good. A bunch of other
stuff on the way to stay here.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
DOUN can announce that it will stop charging you more
money if you ask for plant based milk in your coffee,
but they will keep calling you a pussy.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Don't appreciate the language about so phonny joke.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And I would like plant based milk. Plays maybe you're
lactose intolerant. I should not mock you. I apologize and
retract that effort at humor. Uh, yeah, sure, exactly. You
know I hate this. I hate this, but well, I'll
tell the story more fully later. But when anybody comes
(12:09):
to my house a man and we're having coffee and
they want to put something in it, I think.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Less of them. That's funny, So I just a little less.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'm not saying it really alters my opinion, but I think, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How was that way? Most of my life?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I drank my coffee straight black, and then I started
putting cream in it, and I know I've just gotten
used to it. But anytime I'm with my brother, every
time I get some coffee, I put a little cream,
and he said, you put cream in your coffee? Always
kind of gives me it just.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Like eh about that?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yes, Katie, you know it's polar opposite in the female world.
When I go out with my girlfriends and I order
a black coffee, they go, oh are you serious?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Wow? Yeah, totally opposite, my brother giving me the disappointed look.
Every time I love that boy. I tell you what.
I meet a woman.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
You know, I'm married and happily so, but I'm dating
or something and we got for coffee and she goes, no,
make mine black.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'm thinking, wait a minute, this could be love.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
So the worst thing we all learned about weight loss
a few years back. Now is that your body sabotages you.
It's why it works the way it works. You're start
a new diet, you lose weight really fast, seems easy.
Then it like plateaus, and then you gain it all back. Well,
we figured out a couple of years ago. You probably
(13:39):
already know this that your body goes into emergency mode.
Emergency mode.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh, hands on deck. We need to gain that weight back.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
We need to gain that weight back, and it does
everything it can to gain that weight back. Slows your
metabolism down to zero, starts hoarding calories.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It doesn't need.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
It's just it's just awful what the human body does
to try to get to that weight because it thinks
you're starving to death. And you know, evolution hasn't figured out. Yeah,
none of us are starving to death. All right, Trust
there's a McDonald's over there, there's a dunkin Donuts over there.
I ain't gonna starve to death. You don't need to
go into emergency mode. But our body thinks it's you know,
the year of three hundred or something. And I think so,
(14:19):
if we've lost weight, something awful has happened. And you know,
all the bison have disappeared briefly, and until we find
another herd, we're going to starve to death. So it's
got to horde every calorie to make sure we don't
die anyway. So along comes wi Govia and Ozembic. In
what just the last couple of years, they've been hugely
successful at people losing weight, but even that crowd, from
(14:40):
what I understand from this article, they plateaued pretty quickly
and then their body goes into that starvation mode and
then people have had trouble keeping all of it off.
Scientists have discovered the particular gene that causes this problem,
and they think they and they've had some luck in
in mice anyway, turning that around with something that attacks
that gene, so you don't go into that starvation mode
(15:03):
hoarding the calories, etc. You stay in that earlier mode
of the diet. And they've accomplished it in mice and
had no bad sound side effects.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So this might be the next thing that comes on
in the market.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
If this hits the market along with those other things,
well I don't even know if you need those other things.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
If that hits the.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Market, all your diets that you've loved throughout your life
might work again, and who knows this could be the
game changer.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well, right, because if it's just a question of being
disciplined enough to lose it and then going into maintenance
mode and it's a fair fight, and your body isn't
changing the math on you, so that I mean practically
you know exactly the opposite.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
What do they call it?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And when it's a paradoxically inverse relationship but perfectly in
verse relationship. Oh yeah, you can eat ten percent less.
I'm gonna slow your metabolism by ten percent. Oh now
you're eating twenty percent less. What will I do?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I'll slow it down twenty percent.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
You just can't win, right, which is very frustrating. Well,
it's beyond it frustrating. It's it's it makes you wonder
why try feel a little sensitive about this?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Because I walked by a hog farm over the weekend
and they shouted at me, hey makes it a salad.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So wow.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I would have thought the first thing would have struck
you is they have talking pigs. But no, you were
more concerned about your body shape.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You know, that's funny hat it hadn't even occurred to
me yeah, Yeah, you're right. A big gender bending madness
update coming in a moment or three.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I hope you can stick around for that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
One of the great lies of the if I pretend
to be a woman, I am a woman crowd has
been exposed by science.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Did you see the movie on Nora Katie?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
No? I did not see.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Somebody on the show How to watch it? It's on YouTube,
It's on Apple TV. I'll try to at least watch
part of it.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It sounds good. I'll watch.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
It's only two hours long. It's not like one of
those other movies. It was three and a half.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Oh I watched that damn transgender cartel movie. Oh watch
about anything before.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
A little more on the blow up in the Oval Office.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
We got to get to more opinions and stuff and
lots to come up.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Stay here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to run
for mayor of New York City. Cuomo plans to use
his old campaign slogan of Honka honker hey hand jesure
that suggested grabbing boobs.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
If you remember that there already.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Andrew Cuomo was run out of office by a sex
scandal chasing close on his heels the COVID scandal, and
he thinks he's gonna be mayor. Man, these people just
cannot let go of being in office, can they?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One party state, one party city. It makes it a
hell of a lot easier.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
God, you'd think I'm not in jail. I'm still alive. Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I think I'll just coast out the rest of my
life as an old man. Nope, got to be in office.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Combination of ego and greed, Yeah, I think so. A
couple of quick asides before sweetheart darling, oh boy, not
at all creepy, mister governor sir. Two asides, and then
into the bulk of the segment. First acide the black coffee,
fancy coffee thing we were talking about. We cannot escape
and we should not escape our primal past. A man's
(18:24):
duty is to provide, to reproduce, and to fight. A
woman's is to provide, in a different way, to give
birth and nurture children. That is the primal, you know,
imperative of both sexes. And given the fact that being
ready to fight and kill and the rest of it
at a moment's notice is built into being a male
(18:49):
being the sort of guy who demands a fruit fruit
coffee just doesn't fit. Boy, that's not according to that's
not a woman's role. According to almost repreview. I saw
at the movie theater the other night before Captain America.
I was gonna talk about that later.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Every movie where the the girl is the tough guy
and the tough person and the guy is kind of.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh no, I don't think we should do this character
just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. What was I gonna say? I
can't be that, it doesn't matter. Moving along.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Second aside, I am having a banana for my mid
show snack, and as always, eating bananas makes me cough,
and indeed, as Jack knows, eating anything banana flavored makes
me cough.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That really weird.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
No, No, it never occurs to me to ask anybody
who might have any idea, And I doubt there have
been great studies on that phenomena.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Not that debilitating. It doesn't sound like No.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, indeed, I am afflicted with that terrible fate and
I'm only mildly curious.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
So if I don't care, neither does anybody else. Time
for a.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Gender bending man is young update my goodness, minds.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Of progress, But on it goes miss on the heels
of that movie being shut out last night.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Oh clear transphobia, Jack, and not the fact that it
was apparently eleven hour long, tedious steam and pile of garbage.
Ovey was unwatchable but beautifully filmed. Anyway, a couple gender
bending madness updates for you here. Congratulations to the young
lady who demolished the competition by eight feet at the
(20:28):
triple jump at a track meet in California. By eight
feet eight feet, that's right, crushed the competition.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
The fact that he's a dude who claims to be
a girl has nothing to do with the jack.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
This person, I'm not sure if they're eighteen eight.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I haven't been to one of these competitions where this happens.
But how are there any parents there, or any fans
or any competitors? Why is there to be just say
this is ridiculous, we're all leaving.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Uh, well, the second part I don't know about, but
because you're there to watch your kid. But one of
the most interesting reactions to the video, And I should
have had Hanson play the audio even though it's mostly visual,
because this young man jumps eight feet past everybody else
and you can hear among all the crowd, Oh my god,
are you serious? This is awful this, I can't believe this.
(21:21):
That's because they're sane, and the gender bending activists are
utter lunatics. This person and I don't give names because
if it's I don't know what this person's ages, or
if they're an adult, a confused adolescent who has probably
been railroaded by activists.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And cheer led by every step of the way. Uh yeah, exactly,
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I just I don't want to work that. I'd rather
talk about the issue than the person. But this person
who obliterates girls and quashes their dreams because they were
the best triple jumper in California until dude showed up.
He had first place finishes in the high jump, the
long jump, and the triple jump, and really feels like
(22:05):
they can win at the state finals. It was the
big regional track meet. So congratulations, sir. Speaking of that
sort of thing, they're going crazy in Maine over this
Republican lawmaker who is defending women's sports and pointed out
that a person who had just won the big girls
(22:27):
high school track and field event is a biological male
tweeted another day, another instance of an unremarkable biological male
athlete who couldn't win against other males dominating girls' sports
and circled the person in question who was the state champion.
And so the legislator has censured her and said she
can't say a word on the house floor, their legislature
(22:50):
floor until she apologizes, and of course she won't because
she's right. Maine and its wackadoodal governor are full on woke.
So we're making progress in this fight, but it's far
from over. Yet another tail. Transgender activist storm Iowa capital
as lawmakers debate removing gender identity as a protected class,
(23:13):
cause playing as a woman is not a protected class
according to conservatives and moderates. In Idaha in Iowa. But again,
there was a bird flew the new bat virus from
from Uganda.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Probably good lord, I was just gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You didn't attend a big old orgie, did you, because
then you probably got the monkey pox as well.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
No, but I went went to one of those wet
markets and I fished a great bat out of a
barrel of lukewarm water, put it on a stick, and dang,
that's good eating.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I don't care anybody says beautiful beautiful anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So I was trying to do the right thing, and
the very outsized, angry lunatic activist class is trying to
get them to relent. Probably not going to happen. The
bill in question would additionally require birth certificates in Iowa
to reflect the biological reality of a person's sex at birth,
and would redefine sex to mean the state of being
(24:19):
either male or female as observed or clinically verified at birth,
which is precisely what sex is, right, I mean, it
would redefine it as in.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Go back to the definition.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
And the whole trick of starting to use the word
gender and then well, of course gender means you can
be anything you want.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And by the way, sex means the same as gender. No, no,
stop it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Anyway, this is what I wanted to work up to,
because this is really big. This is published in the
Journal of Sexual Medicine and comes from I think Oxford,
is it?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I had that in front of me anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
The headline is examining gender specific mental health risks after
gender affirming surgery, so they use the gender bending madness
approved term of gender affirming surgery. I would I call
it sexual appearance altering surgery? Anyway, it's a national gender
based studaba the background, transgender individuals face heightened psychological distress,
(25:24):
including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, partly due to stigma and
lack of gender affirmation. Their aim is to evaluate mental
health outcomes in transgender individuals with gender just for you
have undergone procedures and the results are. They found out
that males with surgery showed a higher prevalence of depression
and anxiety. Females exhibited similar trends with elevated depression, especially
(25:49):
feminizing individuals. Clinical suggestions is that the claims about you
have to do this or they'll kill themselves are not
only not true, they're the opposite of true.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Oh wow, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
A gender affirming surgery, they write. While beneficial in affirming
gender identity whatever that means, affirming your psychological problem is
associated with increased risk of mental health issues, underscoring the
need for ongoing health support.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Co signing their bs, as they sometimes call it in
the therapy world.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, right, if your little boy thinks he's a pirate,
you poke out his eye and saw off his leg
and get him a parrot. Here's the truth, and I
have laid this on ye before.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
In the vast majority of cases, there are many people
who are uncomfortable in their own skin, uncomfortable with life,
and they spend their life wishing they were someone else
because they're not happy. It's not exactly an uncommon sentiment
in humankind. Some people decide, if I lived here, if
I married her, if I had this car or whatever status,
(26:57):
then I'll be happy and confident and comfortable in my
own skin. Other people think, you know what my problem is,
I'm actually a dude or I'm actually a girl.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
If I were that, then I'd be happy and confident
and comfortable in my own skin. And for a little while,
you're so excited to change.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's like you know, you moved somewhere else and it's
exciting and you're meeting people and the rest of it.
But when the reality sets in that, oh, I'm every
bit as unhappy as I used to be, and I've
altered my life and my ability to have children. I've
browbeaten everybody I know into going along with this, and
it didn't help. That's really blanking depressing, and I sympathize
(27:36):
with those people.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But I the activist type who whisked.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
These people along the conveyor belt for their bizarre ideological
reasons or neo Marxism or whatever it is. You people
are villains. You're either villains or fools or both.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Well, and I'll say, for the tenth time, I know
somebody who is a therapist who said, most therapists go
full in on affirming this, decide to change their sex. Yeah,
and so they they're whisked on down the road as
you just talk about. But this particular therapist said, I've
had a couple of people come in and I talked
them out of it in like a minute.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Right, right, And the vast, vast majority of young people
who struggle with this stuff grow.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Out of it. Study after study has shown that.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
So again, the people who whisked them down the conveyor
belt are either evil or fools or both. It's a
gender bending madness update.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
There you have.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
We got to nail down the hole it's going on
with Jeffrey Epstein files. I can't quite figure that out.
I can't figure out what people's attitudes are. I was
bouncing around on social media and there's a lot of
of the maga world that was really looking forward to
the Epstein Files coming out last week, and then Pam
BONDI stop somehow, and now she's in on it, or she's.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Saying it's the row GEFTBI that won't give it up.
So cash Ptel's like heighten the not the theory, or
his underlings aren't giving him cooperation. I don't know I
have it's not really my priority me either. That story
out me either while I'm busy solving the mystery of
the death of Gene Hackman.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
For instance, Yes, Katie uh headline from the Babylon b
claiming that the Epstein Files shredded themselves.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
That's clever, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
We got a little more on the blow up in
the Oval office from Friday, some more commentary on that,
among other things, stay here, hey, you gotta be more thankful,
because let me.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Tell you, you don't have the cards.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
With us, you have the cards, but without us, you
don't have any cards.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And what you're doing is.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Very disrespectful to the country, this country. Have you said
thank you once that entire meeting, No, in this entire
meetia have you said thank you?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I don't like that vibe. But again you got to
take in the whole thing. Well, I wish it hadn't
happened at all. I don't think it benefited anybody other
than as practically everybody has said it benefited Vladimir Putin.
But some of my favorite pundits who I know are
hard core Zolensky fans. Well first of this, so tweeted
(30:28):
out about this on Friday. We caught the very end
of it on Friday, said a couple of things, and
then got lots of response on social media. So now
you guys understand that he is a corrupt dictator Charlatan order.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, I don't know. That didn't prove that at all.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
No, No, he handled this poorly, But you know, none
of that other stuff is true anyway. Lex Friedman, I
don't know if you ever listen to his podcasts, one
of the most popular podcasts in the world, and he
is he was born in Ukraine or Russia, and he
is big time on the side of we got to
spport Ukraine. Anyway, This is what he tweeted out afterwards
on Friday. The amount of disrespect President Zelensky showed to
(31:05):
Donald Trump and the American people today was insane. This
was a mistake. I have tremendous respect for President Zelensky
for the heroic actions he took in the early days
of the war, but diplomacy at this stage obviously required
showing respect to world leaders, even more so during these tense,
difficult peace negotiations.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
So I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
And then from the National Review, which mostly in the
National Review see on the right or publications and podcasts
and TV shows where you have differing opinions, as opposed
on the left, where all their publications, podcasts and TV
shows everybody exactly agrees. I don't know what that's all about.
But a National Review, most of the writers there are
(31:48):
big fans of a supporting Ukraine and think it's important
and like Zelensky, and Rich Lowry is one of them,
but he wrote this is Zelensky an idiot as someone
who wishes Ukraine well. I was shocked at how poorly
Zelensky handled yesterday. It was complete malpractice. It was wrong
of Trump and Vance to braid him the way they did.
But if you are a vulnerable foreign leader in a
situation where the president of your leading patron mightrate you
(32:11):
in public, the priority is not to get berated. Nothing
else matters, not your pride, not points of substantive disagreement,
not your potential peak at sitting in close proximity to
one of your fiercest critics, in the person of JD.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Vance.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
If Zilensky had been playing by these rules, the first
thing he should have done was wear a business suit.
If you would have been, it would have been notable,
signed as a sign of respect and would have removed
a point of.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Friction with Trump. That's what I was talking about earlier.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You know, he really hates that that you're not wearing
a suit, So I guess just wear a suit because
he hates that so much. If he and his team
are halfway competent, they would take an account of the
fact that the president supporters absolutely hate his fatigues. It
also made Zelensky seem smaller when things went south, that
he wasn't dressed appropriately. That is a weird visual thing,
(32:57):
but I think I agree with that. When I said
this on Acts, people replied that Elon Musk doesn't wear
a suit in the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
True.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
When Zelensky has named the head of DOGE, he can
do the same and get away with it. In the meantime,
it would have cost him absolutely nothing to violate his
satorial practice for one very important day. Then there was
the substance of the Oval Office meeting. All Zelensky needed
to do was say, one, the war never would have
happened if Trump had been president. Two, I appreciate the
efforts for peace. Three Ukrainians two want peace, but also
(33:26):
what's best for our country. Four and I look forward
to our discussions. Wash went rinse and repeat.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
If he had done that, he'd come out just fine,
And it wasn't difficult when the whole thing blew up.
He couldn't even manage to sound appropriately regretful on Special
Report in the afternoon on Fox, which wouldn't have been
hard either. You can root for good reason the way
that Trump views this conflict in how he expects to
get fluffed by people he meets and talks with. But
it's reality. All sorts of foreign actors have taken this
(33:53):
on board and reacted accordingly to protect their interests, except
the one guy who has the most to lose by
stupidly refus using to play by the simple, easy to
understand rules. Zelensky dressed in his usual fashion and scored
some nice debating points in the Oval Office yesterday.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
What did that get him or his country? And to
not well as usual.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I agree completely with rich and to not have the
diplomatic phrase handy something the effect of when Trump says,
you know what, I think we can deal with Putin.
We can make a deal with them, to not have
a Hey, there are challenges ahead. I'm always cautious about
(34:36):
dealing with Putin, but with the President's help, I'm sure
we can come to a good outcome.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
That's a way of saying that's not settled, but and
not arguing with who whoa whoa.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
You can't trust Putin on TV? No, no, no, you can't. No,
that's not a good idea. Sh His advisors were thinking,
we do four hours every day.
