Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Katty Armstrong and Jettietie and no Geez Armstrong and Getty Strong, and.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's Armstrong in Geddy, Yes indeed, And you have a
unique special opportunity. That's a little word on me anyway,
to enjoy a carefully curated selection of Armstrong and Getty replays.
Enjoy coming up live team coverage of Larry the Cat
and how he's handling the transition to ten Downing Street.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Have you seen the video? It's viral, don't you know?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Wrigley Field, the home of your Chicago Cubs first Major
League parker. I ever went to in love with the
game of baseball and the Cubbies, and I love Wrickley
Field so much. National anthem starts several bars in older fellow,
that's the very one, older fellow wearing a Cubs jersey,
(01:16):
standing up with everybody else, virtually everybody else as the
anthem is being sung. Young man sitting right in front
of him looks to me in his twenties, sitting down.
Old man says, hey, get up. Guy looks at him
like old man says, get up. Guy doesn't do anything.
Pops smacksim in the back of the head, says get
(01:39):
up for the anthem, show some respect. The guy looks surprised,
but he stands up for the rest of the anthem.
Old man says, thank you, thank you very much, young man.
After the young man followed his demand. Jacket has sparked
a debate.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I know where I am or I was immediately, I
would guess I'm opposite most of our listeners, who think
of a fantastic that the old man hit the guy
in the back. Then I thought that was incredibly out
of line.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Before before you get to your adamant position and an
America hating position.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Clearly, I love this from the New York Post. I
got to punch the old man in a face, be
it me in the back of the head.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Some defended the older man's action, holding the opinion that
choosing to sit is disrespectful to the country.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It is, well, it is disrespectful of the country. You
don't get to.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Different God's sake, all right, while others said.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
He took things too far and striking someone over a
decision they rightfully made was not the right call. I
thank the New York Post for setting up the debate
for me like that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Wow, I hadn't It hadn't occurred to me that those
were the issues.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
See, I thought it would be why did he hit
him in the head when he could have kicked him
in the ash, I don't know, punched him in the eyeballs,
set him on fire, the beer on his head.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, it's whether it's right to smack somebody. Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Right, So the moral dilemma is is modern journalism.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Too stupid to follow? That's the moral Yeah, exactly, moral dilemma.
Is there any point in reading this crap?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm clearly funny. That's funny that they did that. I know,
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Many people are wondering if it was appropriate for the
old man to hit the young guy in the head.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And if you're a stupid journalist, you're probably also a
lazy one. And the rest of the article is a
couple of comments on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
All right, some viewers, some readers, some viewers on Twitter
thought it was a bad idea, and it looks like
no one's standing he had a problem with this.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Love to have reminding this dude, He's got to show
respect for the country. One person said, he says, right,
just said another counsel encounter.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's what this country is about. Freedom.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
He's still a douche, but this isn't a dictatorship either.
All right, fine, Yes, we all think he should stand,
and I think we all take at least some slight
amount of delight in somebody saying, hey, stand up, show
some respect. But you know what, the guy who dropped
the d bomb says, it's not what this country is about.
(04:08):
He sees free to sit and the old man is
free to slap him in the Wait a minute, no,
no he's not. There are laws, boy, I'm legal experts
noted that such an action can constitute battery under certain circumstances.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's really what I don't want to hear is what
legal experts think. Yeah, everybody's fine. Who happened to have
their phone out to catch that? Were they trying to
get the or did they did it? Start with like
an argument? I think there's a.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Certain segment of the population that if they sense trouble brewing,
just immediately go to the phone start videoing.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, And when my son was in his flag football
championship game and the refs just I absolutely screwed it
up and everybody's going crazy, and it ended up with
people screaming and shoving and pushing, and it was like
it could have it could have made the news. Everybody
had their phones out immediately. It didn't even occur to me. Yeah,
that's like, holy crap, Am I gonna have to get
(05:15):
involved in this fight to keep children from getting beaten
by adults? But uh, everybody had their phones out immediately. Yeah,
that's the go to move, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I have mixed feelings about so much of the available
technology and videotaping and stuff like that in the world
of golf. It's it's got a little attention because if
you have a great player making a critical shot at
a critical moment, and you have the gallery behind them,
the people behind them of them will have their phones
out videotaping it so they can like send it to
(05:52):
a couple of friends who will watch it and think, oh,
that's cool and all. But I will tell you, as
an avid photographer, as a guy who kids, as a videographer,
et cetera, the presence of the camera between you and
reality changes that reality, absolutely changes it, emotionally changes it
in all sorts of crazy ways.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Here's something counterintuitive for you.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I stopped videotaping a lot of my kids events because
I thought, Number one, are we really.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Going to watch this?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Number two, I'm focused on framing the shot, getting the shot.
Who's standing up in front of me? I'm not experiencing this.
Here's a crazy one for you. Judy and I are
off on our Alaska anniversary cruise and one of the
outings we did was this incredible mission the railway.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
This is the vacation where you got flipped up in
the air by the buffalo.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah correct, Yeah. Luckily that was like the last day
because I broke my femur in four places.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
But one of the one of the side trips we
took was this scenic railroad up into the mountains.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You know what town was that?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I can't remember so many towns anyway, Yeah, the scenery
was just literally breathtaking. We went over like old timey
railroad trestles with huge drops down and we're on a
mountain side and stuff like this. And I have this
absolutely morbid fear of heights, but there are such beautiful
shots that I really really wanted there. I was out
(07:15):
on the little excuse me a soun like Bernie Sanders gurgling.
I was out on the what do you call the
little platform between the cars. You got the seeing area,
then you got the platform, the platform, I don't know anyway.
So I'm out on that, leaning against the rail railing,
leaning out to get these shots. And I realized when
I'm looking at the world through a camera, I didn't
(07:39):
have my fear or I could.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was more intent on getting the shot, and my
fear of heights went back. It just fell back because
I was looking at looking at it through the viewfinder,
and I thought, wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah to me that that helps with it. You know,
here fear there in that situation. But in general, what
I think it means about the brain is you're not
experiencing it like it's like a real event.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Your brains out. Okay, we're just looking at a picture.
This is not anything scary, right, yeah, which means you're
not taking it in the way you would take it
in if you just looked at it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah. That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And though it was helpful in this instance, I think
it made me stop and think.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, I agree with that one hundred percent, And I
wonder if I wonder if people will ever stop doing
that all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
But it's weird.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So you want to get a video of something you
get to experience live almost anything you're doing in the world.
I mean, a picture of your baby being born is different.
But like any vacation setting or anything like that, if
you want to see a video of it, there's a
ton of them, I guarantee you on any site you
go to. If what you want to see is that video,
(08:54):
how about you do the one thing you're going to
do this one time in your entire life.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Probably see it with your own eye right right, two
or very quick points. One, as a guy who raised
three kids and went through these questions and stuff like that,
grab short video of your kids doing what they're doing
if you want to be able to watch it years
from now and remember it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Totally get that. Oh yeah, thank you, glad I have those.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Weirdly, our friend Ken knew it was the Skagway Railway
senor Craileway.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Skagway. Pretty name for a town, isn't it anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So yeah, get short stuff so you can look back
and you're not going to want to watch for twenty
five minutes them doing whatever. Right, Just a video snapshot
in effect, is going to be plenty in the years
to come. Second thing, getting back to the golf thing,
then you know you have everybody. Ninety percent of the
people are looking through their phone. They're trying to video
tape it. Then at the Masters, where phones are banned,
(09:50):
you can't have them on your person at all or
you'll get thrown out, and if it's your ticket, you'll
be banned for life from going to the Masters. So
people don't bring phones. You see people behind the great
player making the shot, and they are experiencing it. They
are there, the delight on their faces, their interest, their tension,
(10:11):
it's all there.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They are living it as opposed to videotape.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I guarantee at a sporting event, they just watching it
with your eyes, with your phone in your pocket is
a better experience than trying to capture it on their phone.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
And again, if you want to watch that play, it
exists lots of places.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. It
has been in the news, I don't know for a
year or so. This idea of gas station heroin this
particular one is the worst and it's quite possible you've
never even heard of it. I hadn't until a friend
of mine's kid ended up in a rehab and their life.
I mean, this has turned this family upside down. This
(11:10):
kid early twenties, great job, great degree, had never been
into like partying or anything like that. I think this
stuff is marketed at convenience stores is like an energy
drink or whatever. You know, there's so much of that
stuff up there at the counter that's crap, and these
little bottles of some kind of energy or ridiculously concentrated
(11:33):
caffeine and all these different things. Well, this one particular
thing called seven zero, which as of a few days ago,
is banned by the federal government, but it wasn't up
until a couple of days ago. And it's still on
shelves out there too, because there are convenience stores. I
know this because my friend went to a convenience store said, hey,
do you know this stuff is banned?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Because my kid is on it. It's banned, And.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
They called the cops and found out, yeah, it's banned.
This kratim seven to zero that they sell at convenience stores.
I don't quite understand the chemistry of it or whatever.
It's a plant from Southeast Asia, kretom kr at o
m and the raw leaf has got a tiny fracket
(12:18):
fraction of this stuff that barely hurts you at all.
But as so often happens in the United States, like
what we're doing with pot. We took pot like Willie
Nelson and Jerry Garcia smoked, and now we concentrate it
so much that the stuff that your kids buy in
(12:38):
is a completely different thing than the pot that you
were smoking twenty thirty fifty years ago. Completely different thing
in terms of its power and what it does to
your brain and whether or not it's addictive and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's the way this Kretim thing is.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
The products showed up in convenience stores, gas stations, vape shops,
and a lot of them still have it there, and
maybe your kid is using it and doesn't know what
he or she's getting into. They're concentrated semisynthetic seven zero,
engineered to contain far more of the particularly addictive stuff
than any leaf naturally would. And I guess that's how
(13:14):
they slipped this by regulators. They looked at the leaf, well, okay,
ten two percent or less in the leaf and that's
no big deal. But this is concentrated and it binds
to the same opioid receptors as drugs like morphine and heroin.
This seven oz that you can buy for cheap at
the vape shop or the seven to eleven. At least
until recently and probably still now depending on where you live.
(13:37):
Federal officials have cited increasing reports of misuse, dependence, and overdose,
along with evidence that the compound poses health risk.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Health risks, how about destroy your life.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
This matters for people because you build your tolerance really fast,
your cravings get really strong, and stopping it is like
trying to kick heroin or morphine or anything like that
aches nausea, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, to the point that you'll
do anything to get more of this stuff or a
different product that solves the same need.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And that's what's happening to people.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So this friend of mine gets their kid into i
think their third rehab in two months, and first time
at the rehab, he asks me like, hey, do you
know anything about this Kratum seven zero stuff, And the
guy at the rehab actually said, oh my god, I'm
sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That is horrible. This is going to be really tough
to deal with.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
About fifteen percent of the people we got coming into
the rehab now started on this kratum seven to zero.
It's going to be a giant story nationwide. I'm surprised
it isn't already.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, it's not.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
For some reason, it hasn't exploded as a giant story,
even though hospitals and rehabs they're aware of this and
how it's a really big deal and it's getting all
kinds of people hooked really fast on really bad stuff
and ruining lives. And I just I can't imagine we're
(15:05):
so careful in this country. Here's an example. When I
came back from Italy years and years ago, I was
talking about how great the sausage and salami and cheese
was over there, and it was explained to me that
we have so many regulations around all of our food
that a lot of the taste of really good food
gets destroyed because we're so careful with our preservatives and
(15:28):
making sure that nothing could ever made. So how do
we live in a country like that where we drink
bland milk and we eat bland salami to make sure
everything is so safe and our bread and everything else
like that. But you can get a product like this
into the stores, it gets people hooked on heroin or morphine.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How's that even possible?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Now? I know there's a lot of stuff floating around online,
A belief that it's some sort of on purpose plan
by I don't know, the government or the Jews or
whoever you believe in the conspiracy to get people hooked
on stuff and going after a specific socioeconomic class. I
can tell you in this specific economic socioeconomic class, it
(16:11):
was upscale, white kids with great degrees.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I don't think there's a conspiracy behind it. But how
in the world did this slip by? And so the
particular county I think it was La County, which has
already banned the stuff. My friend went to a convenience
store where their kid had been buying this stuff, and
it was still on the shelf even though it was banned,
and the people that worked at the comedian store hadn't
(16:42):
gotten the word yet.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
So, as I said, the DEA.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Issued a new ruling that started just seven days ago.
That's how new this stuff is. They know about it,
the rehabs and the emergency rooms already because lots of
people are hooked on it. But this is how new
it is for the government and for law enforcement. July one,
the DEA issued two notices of intent to begin temporarily
(17:09):
placing the seven.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Seven seven.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
And a couple of other products that are similar to
it as a schedule one of the Controlled Substances Acts.
So once that goes into effect, and I don't know
why that would take so long, manufacturing, selling, and possessing
illegal all across the country. Thank god, this is not
something that needs to exist at all.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Armstrong see Armstrong and Getty shar.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No wonder that.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
The most true Blue Democrat ever, James Carville, says, there's
just some I can't be in the same tenth with. Yeah,
Carvill said, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm not in that.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Political party now. Gavin Newsom disagrees. He says he's good
with it because the party is a big tent. Well,
you know what else you're finding a tent clowns.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Talking specifically about that Hassan piker joker that Joe brought
us a couple weeks agoing I was fine with ignoring him.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I just saw, you know, how big a deal is he?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
But he's like the Tucker Carlson or Candas Owens for
the socialists out there. He's clearly a grifter. He just
says crazyess. But James Carville, one of the you know,
legendary deans of the Democratic Party party said, and there's
a good clip I heard it this morning on NPR
I think was James Carvell said, Look, there's no way
(18:44):
I'm in the same party with Hassan Piker. Either he's
leaving the party or I'm leaving the party. But I'm
not being in the same party with that guy, right right.
And there are bomb chuckers and nutjobs. But the fact
that a significant chunk of the Democratic Party, including folks
who are about to win primaries for the US Congress,
for a governor's offices for the US Senate, they take
him seriously and they agree with them, that's worth noticing.
(19:06):
See if I can find a clip I had on
Hassan Pike or something, he said, it's highly annoying.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I can.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Generalize it basically, he said. Look, I'm not going to
get into these arguments.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh, here it is. He said.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
It would be foolish, however, to expect DSA candidates to
explain the nuances of prison abolition in a hostile media environment.
We need far more political education, power and credibility before
we get there. So it's just too nuanced and complicated
an issue for us dullards who haven't thought about it
all these years to understand what closing the prisons mean.
(19:42):
So he thinks it's best not to get into the
details until we're ready to understand their very brilliant plan
of closing prisons.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You know, Hassan, it's actually quite easy to understand. Those
of us who've studied Marxisms through the years, we know
how it goes. You're going to eliminate capitalism, you're going
to eliminate class warfare. You're going to bring perfect justice,
and there will be no reason for crimes to be
committed anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And then you will close the prisons. That is your claim.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Every socialist system that's ever existed on earth has way
more prisons and way more folks in them for the
crime of just disagreeing with the government. So, yeah, you
might close the crime prisons, you'll open up the political prisons.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
No, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Noah Rothman ready wrote a great piece for National Review
over the weekend. They won't have prisons, but they'll have
plenty of camps. And he went through all the people
that AOC and Mandani and miss Hassan Piker have called
for being detained or jailed, like, uh, you know, the
entire Israeli government, for instance, Netanya. You're gonna arrest Netanyahu.
If there are no prisons, where were you gonna put them?
(20:44):
You're gonna put them somewhere that's sort of prison adjacent. Certainly,
if you're going to Arrestume or or anybody who had
put out misinformation about COVID, we're supposed to be jailed.
But you don't believe in prisons, so what kind of
So they don't believe in prisons, but they believe in camps,
which is kinda where you end up withs lie routinely.
(21:07):
I'm glad that Bill Maher though though I don't know
how much sway he as as a guy who's in
his mid seventies with young Democrats, but here he was
frightening out on his HBO show, not.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
To leave any doubt.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
New York Mayor Mandani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly,
they're not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer,
Hassan Piker thinks communism is so groovy. He laments the
fall of the two of the most murderous regimes in history,
the Soviet Union and chairman maos China Mendmi's aid. His
(21:41):
top aid, Sea Weaver said, if you don't believe in
the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over and
impoverish the white middle class.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
What that's a that's a goal.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
You know, you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right, I.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Said earlier on the show. Since several people have won
their primaries. Now Mabdonnie actually won the election. He's mayor,
but several people won their primaries that probably won't win
their offices, but we'll see. But you got a woman
tomorrow that's gonna end up being the Democratic candidate for
governor in Wisconsin and a guy who's going to become
(22:21):
the Democratic senatorial candidate in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Have there ever been.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Candidates for major parties that had this crazy and ideology
in modern US history? I can't think of any as
a Republican or a Democrat. This is insane as yeah,
yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
We are really out there.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
When you got people that are they're not running as
a third party takeover summer. They're going to be the
Democratic candidate for governor in Wisconsin and she believes in
no prisons. She talked about it over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Hmm. Yeah, I could go on at length about the
disarraying the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
You remember that autopsy they had had of the twenty
twenty four debacle. The guy who wrote it says, yeah,
the chapter they left out, I gave it to them,
And the head of the Democratic National Committee saying he
didn't give me a chapter. I've never seen it in
my life. And the guy says, dude, I gave it
to you and a folder. We talked about it for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
No you didn't. I've never seen it. No you didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So, I mean, they are absolutely floundering, and yet, you know,
so's the Republican Party in a lotaways. Let's get back
to the DSA though for now.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Which clip do you like of those? I was gonna
let you choose one.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Oh my gosh, you know, I actually thought twenty three
made a great point.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Now, the coalition within the DSAY called the Marxist Unity Group,
is an ascendance, and I must take them at their
word when their words include our commitment is to the
long term ruggle for a fully liberated, classless society in
a word, communism. What do they have to do tweet
out elect more communists?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Oh yeah, seea we ever did that? Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Good, I'm glad you're shot.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
People got to realize this was going on.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's how bad our media coverage is. That his audience
gasped with shock, because if you lean right it all,
if you ever watch Fox, or read the New York
Post or listen to AM talk radio, you're aware that
the person in charge of all his housing policy said
elect more communists.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But for Bill Maher's audience, that was brand new information.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So back to your question about how much pole Bill
Maher has. Not as much as I would like. But
just the act of just informing people of what is
being said and what is being I'll take that from
whatever quarter it comes from.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I think that's great.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, so you know, he's letting thousands and thousands and
thousands and thousands of people know what's actually happening.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So good for him.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Should think that's worth getting onto the NBC Evening News
or even a show on MSNBC Wow, the woman in
charge of housing for Mamdani believes we should elect more
communist panel.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What do we think about that? Let's discuss that, right right,
I would love to see that. Oh gosh, where do
we go from?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Mariana is too skinny. She definitely needs help. That's have
you been following that story from here? No, she is
taking a break from her tour. Some people think she
has a.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Needy has a tour. You got to bring me up
to She's one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
But she uh oh, you know you want to hear
something strange. Oh my god, I'm such an old dude.
I'm thinking Arianna Huffington. You know you want to know
why she was She was the answer in a crossword
(26:04):
puzzle Judy and I were doing over the weekend. Pe Sorry,
Ariana Grande, giant pop star beloved the world round you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Pete Davidson did not date Arianna Huffington anyway, Ario Grande,
who's pretty legendary for being skinny. Anyway, she is so
creepy and I had read she's so crazy skinny now
that people are worried about her, and so she's canceling
her tour and taking a break, and the rumors are
that's the reason why she's got some sort of eating disorder.
How do you how are you that skinny? And then
(26:33):
and then end up with a I'm too fat eating disorder.
But anyway, I just saw her latest on stage thing.
Holy cow, it's one of those hard to.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Look oh boy, that you'd think the the GLP ones
that you know you don't hear, the food noise or
the booze noise or whatever in your head, those drugs
maybe could be turned to something like that, because I
know a couple of people who are woman who no
(27:01):
matter how tan they get, they don't think they're tan enough.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
And isn't that probably something similar? But it's got to
be almost exactly the same thing. You're seeing yourself. You're
looking in the mirror and you look pale, You're looking
in the mirror and you look fat.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, it's gotta be the same thing. You're just like
solar radiation.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Marianna Grande was looking in the mirror and thought, ah,
I gott to drop a couple of pounds. I'm starting
to really plump up here.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I know plenty of people whose kids, boys and girls,
have gone down that road and it's rough.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Oh, it is terrible because their brain is malfunctioning. You
can yell, you can reason, but yeah, it's a tough thing.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You know how, I continuing to take it down the
stupid path. Do you know how?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I have often wished for a minor heart attack, which
I realized my sting the gods in the worst way,
because I felt like you would get my attention about
my health. That was I work out every day, announce
so it's not a problem. But I thought, you know,
a minor heart attack would make me snap to attention.
Could I get just a little bit of a what
are you on the ground? He has just a little
like a smitch?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, that's again, that's really really distasteful.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
But I know what you mean. If I could look
at you know, just that just the food.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I don't need the food beyond that's plenty of calories
and plenty of nutrition for you, Joseph, perhaps you should
stop stuffing your bible if you could, like have revulsion
just that food.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yes, I'm at the state Fair Saturday night with my kids.
What non pregnansle on pregnanzone? What do I do while
I'm watching the state Fair? Hypnotist. Man, this is some
class lifestyle here, me and the boys watching the State
Fair hypnotists. Why I play you a big giant bowl
of mint chocolate chip ice cream?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Oh my god, nobody will ever accuse you of pretension?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Oh my god, Wow, God, dang it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Only if you were just eating a big bowl of
ranch dressing would that be anymore what it is?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
I could be Honey Booboo's dad. I wonder if I
am somehow Did I ever meet her mom, come across
her some time? I gotta check you where I was
living at the time, or Miss June back when she
is slightly more slendering away?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Did she pass? She certainly was on the road to it.
I don't know. Okay, don't actually care. We'll get back
to trying to help your lives, not hurt your lives
in a moment.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Strong Getty show, Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Armstrong, Hey, Getty see Armstrong and Getty shirt.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Back in the day, when we first started this, it
was LBG right Lesbian Gay Community LGB. Yeah, be engaged
by Yeah LGB LGB for quite a while yeah, And
then the T came along, which got everything quite confusing,
And then they started adding letters as.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
We all know.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Well, now we've got a whole bunch of letters. At
least this lady up in Canada that we played earlier
had a whole bunch of letters.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
This is getting excessive.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think you may have missed gendered him or them.
They are something I don't know. Why don't we go
ahead and play that over folks? Just turning in twelve Michael, when.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
The budget was released, I was shocked to find out
that Prime Minister Carney is cutting seven billion dollars between
Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations. They provided zero
dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG two
s lgbtqq I A plus.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
This is abhorrent.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Got this there's a genocide against my sexual orientation thing?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
What oh?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It rallies people to the cause, which I want to
talk about in a minute. But Mike Lawyer from Chicago
with the comment of the day, how can there be
be a genocide if people don't even know what the
hell it means? If I was told to go out
and round up all of these people, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Know where to start.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well, that's why we have tasked Katie with figuring out
what M M, I, W G two s l g
bt q q.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I A plus stands for okay, so we can be
good people and we know this.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
CA?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning,
intersex A sexual plus?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
And so what's the plus for? At this point? Who's
who's not included? And that means that this list is
not over there?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Sounds complete? Yeah? Are there?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
But I'm asking are there three more or thirty more?
Here's the key to this? And these people absolutely missing
and murdered Indigenous women and girls and all the other things.
Here's the key to this. And this is what you
have to understand, and this is what we've been preaching
about for quite some time. The point is not that
all of those people need your consciousness. The point is
(32:17):
that that you obey them by memorizing all those letters
to show you're down with it. And if you're not,
they can call you a bigot, which means they can
kick you out of power or whatever. It's a it's
a weapon of takeover all of this postmodernism crap. That's
(32:38):
why it exists to keep you afraid of being called
a bigot.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
It happened during the Cultural Revolution under Mao and China
in the late sixties early seventies, also where the language
had changed so much as reading about how people would
get up sometimes and read the company newsletter, the communist
newsletter to find out what the new term was for
various things, so that you could be on the right side.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Of things, and you didn't dare use even yesterday's term.
That was the important You better use this term yesterday
because it wasn't about the term.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
It was about your obedience. Yeah, we've been doing that
for years.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
We just didn't quite catch on to what was going
on when it was black, Negro, colored, African American, you know,
all those it would change and then you had to
be on the right side of the new change, right exactly.
So when I asked if Katie could, I said, Katie,
(33:36):
here's a homework assignment for you to look up all
those letters.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And Joe said she rolled her eyes. And that reminded
me of.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Having a conversation with some of the other day And
I remember talking about this while back, that they had
determined that the eye roll is the ultimate sign of
contempt in a relationship. If you're married, if you ever
roll your eyes at your spouse, you're like beyond repair.
Or if your spouse ever rolls their eyes at you,
you're like you're you're in the probably can't fix it territory.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
That sounds overstated to me.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I would say, more like, understand, that's throwing a harder
punch than you might realize.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Yeah, when when I when, when I was discussing this
the other day, I feel like there are topics where
you could get right with and a role like if
you have an ongoing running disagreement about a monopoly rule
or something.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
All kind of funny that you argue about it. Oh my, yeah,
here we go again.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know, I was gonna say, Judy and I have
playful eye rolls all the time about you know, teasing
each other.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But something serious.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
An eye roll on something serious would probably be that's
all about your context.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, excellent point, both of you. Well done, Well done.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
A so coming up some a number of fascinatingly overlapping
yet differing perspectives on where the Iran conflict is right
now and who won or is winning, or just any
of that.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
How does the murdered?
Speaker 4 (35:06):
How does the murdered community fit in with the current
living gay community that you know demands rights and respects
and and you know you can't be discriminated against the
world if you're murdered. I mean, that's just a different.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Topic of human Yeah, it's a cause up in Canada
with the treatment of the Indigenous people through the years.
A lot of it can understand that about how how's
I get lumped in with the same reason that you
have queers for Palestine. You just rope in everything to
the Omni cause, pretend that it's a moral question. And
(35:38):
actually soft heads like that that MP probably think it
is a moral question.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
They don't know they're being used by the Marxists.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
But yeah, and you convince people that to be on
the right side of this is to obey our take
on it, and they just keep finding causes to rope
into the Omni caause.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yes, Katie, you sound like a bigot for questioning it.
Exactly I do. Oh absolutely, gone
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Katty Armstrong and Jettietie and no Geez Armstrong and Getty Strong, and.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's Armstrong in Geddy, Yes indeed, And you have a
unique special opportunity. That's a little word on me anyway,
to enjoy a carefully curated selection of Armstrong and Getty replays.
Enjoy coming up live team coverage of Larry the Cat
and how he's handling the transition to ten Downing Street.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Have you seen the video? It's viral, don't you know?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Wrigley Field, the home of your Chicago Cubs first Major
League parker. I ever went to in love with the
game of baseball and the Cubbies, and I love Wrickley
Field so much. National anthem starts several bars in older fellow,
that's the very one, older fellow wearing a Cubs jersey,
(01:16):
standing up with everybody else, virtually everybody else as the
anthem is being sung. Young man sitting right in front
of him looks to me in his twenties, sitting down.
Old man says, hey, get up. Guy looks at him
like old man says, get up. Guy doesn't do anything.
Pops smacksim in the back of the head, says get
(01:39):
up for the anthem, show some respect. The guy looks surprised,
but he stands up for the rest of the anthem.
Old man says, thank you, thank you very much, young man.
After the young man followed his demand. Jacket has sparked
a debate.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I know where I am or I was immediately, I
would guess I'm opposite most of our listeners, who think
of a fantastic that the old man hit the guy
in the back. Then I thought that was incredibly out
of line.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Before before you get to your adamant position and an
America hating position.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Clearly, I love this from the New York Post. I
got to punch the old man in a face, be
it me in the back of the head.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Some defended the older man's action, holding the opinion that
choosing to sit is disrespectful to the country.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It is, well, it is disrespectful of the country. You
don't get to.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Different God's sake, all right, while others said.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
He took things too far and striking someone over a
decision they rightfully made was not the right call. I
thank the New York Post for setting up the debate
for me like that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Wow, I hadn't It hadn't occurred to me that those
were the issues.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
See, I thought it would be why did he hit
him in the head when he could have kicked him
in the ash, I don't know, punched him in the eyeballs,
set him on fire, the beer on his head.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, it's whether it's right to smack somebody. Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Right, So the moral dilemma is is modern journalism.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Too stupid to follow? That's the moral Yeah, exactly, moral dilemma.
Is there any point in reading this crap?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm clearly funny. That's funny that they did that. I know,
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Many people are wondering if it was appropriate for the
old man to hit the young guy in the head.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And if you're a stupid journalist, you're probably also a
lazy one. And the rest of the article is a
couple of comments on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
All right, some viewers, some readers, some viewers on Twitter
thought it was a bad idea, and it looks like
no one's standing he had a problem with this.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Love to have reminding this dude, He's got to show
respect for the country. One person said, he says, right,
just said another counsel encounter.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's what this country is about. Freedom.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
He's still a douche, but this isn't a dictatorship either.
All right, fine, Yes, we all think he should stand,
and I think we all take at least some slight
amount of delight in somebody saying, hey, stand up, show
some respect. But you know what, the guy who dropped
the d bomb says, it's not what this country is about.
(04:08):
He sees free to sit and the old man is
free to slap him in the Wait a minute, no,
no he's not. There are laws, boy, I'm legal experts
noted that such an action can constitute battery under certain circumstances.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's really what I don't want to hear is what
legal experts think. Yeah, everybody's fine. Who happened to have
their phone out to catch that? Were they trying to
get the or did they did it? Start with like
an argument? I think there's a.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Certain segment of the population that if they sense trouble brewing,
just immediately go to the phone start videoing.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, And when my son was in his flag football
championship game and the refs just I absolutely screwed it
up and everybody's going crazy, and it ended up with
people screaming and shoving and pushing, and it was like
it could have it could have made the news. Everybody
had their phones out immediately. It didn't even occur to me. Yeah,
that's like, holy crap, Am I gonna have to get
(05:15):
involved in this fight to keep children from getting beaten
by adults? But uh, everybody had their phones out immediately. Yeah,
that's the go to move, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I have mixed feelings about so much of the available
technology and videotaping and stuff like that in the world
of golf. It's it's got a little attention because if
you have a great player making a critical shot at
a critical moment, and you have the gallery behind them,
the people behind them of them will have their phones
out videotaping it so they can like send it to
(05:52):
a couple of friends who will watch it and think, oh,
that's cool and all. But I will tell you, as
an avid photographer, as a guy who kids, as a videographer,
et cetera, the presence of the camera between you and
reality changes that reality, absolutely changes it, emotionally changes it
in all sorts of crazy ways.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Here's something counterintuitive for you.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I stopped videotaping a lot of my kids events because
I thought, Number one, are we really.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Going to watch this?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Number two, I'm focused on framing the shot, getting the shot.
Who's standing up in front of me? I'm not experiencing this.
Here's a crazy one for you. Judy and I are
off on our Alaska anniversary cruise and one of the
outings we did was this incredible mission the railway.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
This is the vacation where you got flipped up in
the air by the buffalo.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah correct, Yeah. Luckily that was like the last day
because I broke my femur in four places.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
But one of the one of the side trips we
took was this scenic railroad up into the mountains.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You know what town was that?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I can't remember so many towns anyway, Yeah, the scenery
was just literally breathtaking. We went over like old timey
railroad trestles with huge drops down and we're on a
mountain side and stuff like this. And I have this
absolutely morbid fear of heights, but there are such beautiful
shots that I really really wanted there. I was out
(07:15):
on the little excuse me a soun like Bernie Sanders gurgling.
I was out on the what do you call the
little platform between the cars. You got the seeing area,
then you got the platform, the platform, I don't know anyway.
So I'm out on that, leaning against the rail railing,
leaning out to get these shots. And I realized when
I'm looking at the world through a camera, I didn't
(07:39):
have my fear or I could.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was more intent on getting the shot, and my
fear of heights went back. It just fell back because
I was looking at looking at it through the viewfinder,
and I thought, wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah to me that that helps with it. You know,
here fear there in that situation. But in general, what
I think it means about the brain is you're not
experiencing it like it's like a real event.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Your brains out. Okay, we're just looking at a picture.
This is not anything scary, right, yeah, which means you're
not taking it in the way you would take it
in if you just looked at it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah. That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And though it was helpful in this instance, I think
it made me stop and think.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, I agree with that one hundred percent, And I
wonder if I wonder if people will ever stop doing
that all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
But it's weird.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So you want to get a video of something you
get to experience live almost anything you're doing in the world.
I mean, a picture of your baby being born is different.
But like any vacation setting or anything like that, if
you want to see a video of it, there's a
ton of them, I guarantee you on any site you
go to. If what you want to see is that video,
(08:54):
how about you do the one thing you're going to
do this one time in your entire life.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Probably see it with your own eye right right, two
or very quick points. One, as a guy who raised
three kids and went through these questions and stuff like that,
grab short video of your kids doing what they're doing
if you want to be able to watch it years
from now and remember it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Totally get that. Oh yeah, thank you, glad I have those.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Weirdly, our friend Ken knew it was the Skagway Railway
senor Craileway.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Skagway. Pretty name for a town, isn't it anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So yeah, get short stuff so you can look back
and you're not going to want to watch for twenty
five minutes them doing whatever. Right, Just a video snapshot
in effect, is going to be plenty in the years
to come. Second thing, getting back to the golf thing,
then you know you have everybody. Ninety percent of the
people are looking through their phone. They're trying to video
tape it. Then at the Masters, where phones are banned,
(09:50):
you can't have them on your person at all or
you'll get thrown out, and if it's your ticket, you'll
be banned for life from going to the Masters. So
people don't bring phones. You see people behind the great
player making the shot, and they are experiencing it. They
are there, the delight on their faces, their interest, their tension,
(10:11):
it's all there.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They are living it as opposed to videotape.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I guarantee at a sporting event, they just watching it
with your eyes, with your phone in your pocket is
a better experience than trying to capture it on their phone.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
And again, if you want to watch that play, it
exists lots of places.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. It
has been in the news, I don't know for a
year or so. This idea of gas station heroin this
particular one is the worst and it's quite possible you've
never even heard of it. I hadn't until a friend
of mine's kid ended up in a rehab and their life.
I mean, this has turned this family upside down. This
(11:10):
kid early twenties, great job, great degree, had never been
into like partying or anything like that. I think this
stuff is marketed at convenience stores is like an energy
drink or whatever. You know, there's so much of that
stuff up there at the counter that's crap, and these
little bottles of some kind of energy or ridiculously concentrated
(11:33):
caffeine and all these different things. Well, this one particular
thing called seven zero, which as of a few days ago,
is banned by the federal government, but it wasn't up
until a couple of days ago. And it's still on
shelves out there too, because there are convenience stores. I
know this because my friend went to a convenience store said, hey,
do you know this stuff is banned?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Because my kid is on it. It's banned, And.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
They called the cops and found out, yeah, it's banned.
This kratim seven to zero that they sell at convenience stores.
I don't quite understand the chemistry of it or whatever.
It's a plant from Southeast Asia, kretom kr at o
m and the raw leaf has got a tiny fracket
(12:18):
fraction of this stuff that barely hurts you at all.
But as so often happens in the United States, like
what we're doing with pot. We took pot like Willie
Nelson and Jerry Garcia smoked, and now we concentrate it
so much that the stuff that your kids buy in
(12:38):
is a completely different thing than the pot that you
were smoking twenty thirty fifty years ago. Completely different thing
in terms of its power and what it does to
your brain and whether or not it's addictive and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's the way this Kretim thing is.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
The products showed up in convenience stores, gas stations, vape shops,
and a lot of them still have it there, and
maybe your kid is using it and doesn't know what
he or she's getting into. They're concentrated semisynthetic seven zero,
engineered to contain far more of the particularly addictive stuff
than any leaf naturally would. And I guess that's how
(13:14):
they slipped this by regulators. They looked at the leaf, well, okay,
ten two percent or less in the leaf and that's
no big deal. But this is concentrated and it binds
to the same opioid receptors as drugs like morphine and heroin.
This seven oz that you can buy for cheap at
the vape shop or the seven to eleven. At least
until recently and probably still now depending on where you live.
(13:37):
Federal officials have cited increasing reports of misuse, dependence, and overdose,
along with evidence that the compound poses health risk.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Health risks, how about destroy your life.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
This matters for people because you build your tolerance really fast,
your cravings get really strong, and stopping it is like
trying to kick heroin or morphine or anything like that
aches nausea, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, to the point that you'll
do anything to get more of this stuff or a
different product that solves the same need.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And that's what's happening to people.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So this friend of mine gets their kid into i
think their third rehab in two months, and first time
at the rehab, he asks me like, hey, do you
know anything about this Kratum seven zero stuff, And the
guy at the rehab actually said, oh my god, I'm
sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That is horrible. This is going to be really tough
to deal with.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
About fifteen percent of the people we got coming into
the rehab now started on this kratum seven to zero.
It's going to be a giant story nationwide. I'm surprised
it isn't already.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, it's not.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
For some reason, it hasn't exploded as a giant story,
even though hospitals and rehabs they're aware of this and
how it's a really big deal and it's getting all
kinds of people hooked really fast on really bad stuff
and ruining lives. And I just I can't imagine we're
(15:05):
so careful in this country. Here's an example. When I
came back from Italy years and years ago, I was
talking about how great the sausage and salami and cheese
was over there, and it was explained to me that
we have so many regulations around all of our food
that a lot of the taste of really good food
gets destroyed because we're so careful with our preservatives and
(15:28):
making sure that nothing could ever made. So how do
we live in a country like that where we drink
bland milk and we eat bland salami to make sure
everything is so safe and our bread and everything else
like that. But you can get a product like this
into the stores, it gets people hooked on heroin or morphine.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How's that even possible?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Now? I know there's a lot of stuff floating around online,
A belief that it's some sort of on purpose plan
by I don't know, the government or the Jews or
whoever you believe in the conspiracy to get people hooked
on stuff and going after a specific socioeconomic class. I
can tell you in this specific economic socioeconomic class, it
(16:11):
was upscale, white kids with great degrees.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I don't think there's a conspiracy behind it. But how
in the world did this slip by? And so the
particular county I think it was La County, which has
already banned the stuff. My friend went to a convenience
store where their kid had been buying this stuff, and
it was still on the shelf even though it was banned,
and the people that worked at the comedian store hadn't
(16:42):
gotten the word yet.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
So, as I said, the DEA.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Issued a new ruling that started just seven days ago.
That's how new this stuff is. They know about it,
the rehabs and the emergency rooms already because lots of
people are hooked on it. But this is how new
it is for the government and for law enforcement. July one,
the DEA issued two notices of intent to begin temporarily
(17:09):
placing the seven.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Seven seven.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
And a couple of other products that are similar to
it as a schedule one of the Controlled Substances Acts.
So once that goes into effect, and I don't know
why that would take so long, manufacturing, selling, and possessing
illegal all across the country. Thank god, this is not
something that needs to exist at all.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Armstrong see Armstrong and Getty shar.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No wonder that.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
The most true Blue Democrat ever, James Carville, says, there's
just some I can't be in the same tenth with. Yeah,
Carvill said, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm not in that.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Political party now. Gavin Newsom disagrees. He says he's good
with it because the party is a big tent. Well,
you know what else you're finding a tent clowns.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Talking specifically about that Hassan piker joker that Joe brought
us a couple weeks agoing I was fine with ignoring him.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I just saw, you know, how big a deal is he?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
But he's like the Tucker Carlson or Candas Owens for
the socialists out there. He's clearly a grifter. He just
says crazyess. But James Carville, one of the you know,
legendary deans of the Democratic Party party said, and there's
a good clip I heard it this morning on NPR
I think was James Carvell said, Look, there's no way
(18:44):
I'm in the same party with Hassan Piker. Either he's
leaving the party or I'm leaving the party. But I'm
not being in the same party with that guy, right right.
And there are bomb chuckers and nutjobs. But the fact
that a significant chunk of the Democratic Party, including folks
who are about to win primaries for the US Congress,
for a governor's offices for the US Senate, they take
him seriously and they agree with them, that's worth noticing.
(19:06):
See if I can find a clip I had on
Hassan Pike or something, he said, it's highly annoying.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I can.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Generalize it basically, he said. Look, I'm not going to
get into these arguments.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh, here it is. He said.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
It would be foolish, however, to expect DSA candidates to
explain the nuances of prison abolition in a hostile media environment.
We need far more political education, power and credibility before
we get there. So it's just too nuanced and complicated
an issue for us dullards who haven't thought about it
all these years to understand what closing the prisons mean.
(19:42):
So he thinks it's best not to get into the
details until we're ready to understand their very brilliant plan
of closing prisons.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You know, Hassan, it's actually quite easy to understand. Those
of us who've studied Marxisms through the years, we know
how it goes. You're going to eliminate capitalism, you're going
to eliminate class warfare. You're going to bring perfect justice,
and there will be no reason for crimes to be
committed anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And then you will close the prisons. That is your claim.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Every socialist system that's ever existed on earth has way
more prisons and way more folks in them for the
crime of just disagreeing with the government. So, yeah, you
might close the crime prisons, you'll open up the political prisons.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
No, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Noah Rothman ready wrote a great piece for National Review
over the weekend. They won't have prisons, but they'll have
plenty of camps. And he went through all the people
that AOC and Mandani and miss Hassan Piker have called
for being detained or jailed, like, uh, you know, the
entire Israeli government, for instance, Netanya. You're gonna arrest Netanyahu.
If there are no prisons, where were you gonna put them?
(20:44):
You're gonna put them somewhere that's sort of prison adjacent. Certainly,
if you're going to Arrestume or or anybody who had
put out misinformation about COVID, we're supposed to be jailed.
But you don't believe in prisons, so what kind of
So they don't believe in prisons, but they believe in camps,
which is kinda where you end up withs lie routinely.
(21:07):
I'm glad that Bill Maher though though I don't know
how much sway he as as a guy who's in
his mid seventies with young Democrats, but here he was
frightening out on his HBO show, not.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
To leave any doubt.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
New York Mayor Mandani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly,
they're not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer,
Hassan Piker thinks communism is so groovy. He laments the
fall of the two of the most murderous regimes in history,
the Soviet Union and chairman maos China Mendmi's aid. His
(21:41):
top aid, Sea Weaver said, if you don't believe in
the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over and
impoverish the white middle class.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
What that's a that's a goal.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
You know, you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right, I.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Said earlier on the show. Since several people have won
their primaries. Now Mabdonnie actually won the election. He's mayor,
but several people won their primaries that probably won't win
their offices, but we'll see. But you got a woman
tomorrow that's gonna end up being the Democratic candidate for
governor in Wisconsin and a guy who's going to become
(22:21):
the Democratic senatorial candidate in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Have there ever been.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Candidates for major parties that had this crazy and ideology
in modern US history? I can't think of any as
a Republican or a Democrat. This is insane as yeah,
yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
We are really out there.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
When you got people that are they're not running as
a third party takeover summer. They're going to be the
Democratic candidate for governor in Wisconsin and she believes in
no prisons. She talked about it over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Hmm. Yeah, I could go on at length about the
disarraying the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
You remember that autopsy they had had of the twenty
twenty four debacle. The guy who wrote it says, yeah,
the chapter they left out, I gave it to them,
And the head of the Democratic National Committee saying he
didn't give me a chapter. I've never seen it in
my life. And the guy says, dude, I gave it
to you and a folder. We talked about it for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
No you didn't. I've never seen it. No you didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So, I mean, they are absolutely floundering, and yet, you know,
so's the Republican Party in a lotaways. Let's get back
to the DSA though for now.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Which clip do you like of those? I was gonna
let you choose one.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Oh my gosh, you know, I actually thought twenty three
made a great point.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Now, the coalition within the DSAY called the Marxist Unity Group,
is an ascendance, and I must take them at their
word when their words include our commitment is to the
long term ruggle for a fully liberated, classless society in
a word, communism. What do they have to do tweet
out elect more communists?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Oh yeah, seea we ever did that? Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Good, I'm glad you're shot.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
People got to realize this was going on.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's how bad our media coverage is. That his audience
gasped with shock, because if you lean right it all,
if you ever watch Fox, or read the New York
Post or listen to AM talk radio, you're aware that
the person in charge of all his housing policy said
elect more communists.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But for Bill Maher's audience, that was brand new information.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So back to your question about how much pole Bill
Maher has. Not as much as I would like. But
just the act of just informing people of what is
being said and what is being I'll take that from
whatever quarter it comes from.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I think that's great.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, so you know, he's letting thousands and thousands and
thousands and thousands of people know what's actually happening.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So good for him.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Should think that's worth getting onto the NBC Evening News
or even a show on MSNBC Wow, the woman in
charge of housing for Mamdani believes we should elect more
communist panel.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What do we think about that? Let's discuss that, right right,
I would love to see that. Oh gosh, where do
we go from?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Mariana is too skinny. She definitely needs help. That's have
you been following that story from here? No, she is
taking a break from her tour. Some people think she
has a.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Needy has a tour. You got to bring me up
to She's one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
But she uh oh, you know you want to hear
something strange. Oh my god, I'm such an old dude.
I'm thinking Arianna Huffington. You know you want to know
why she was She was the answer in a crossword
(26:04):
puzzle Judy and I were doing over the weekend. Pe Sorry,
Ariana Grande, giant pop star beloved the world round you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Pete Davidson did not date Arianna Huffington anyway, Ario Grande,
who's pretty legendary for being skinny. Anyway, she is so
creepy and I had read she's so crazy skinny now
that people are worried about her, and so she's canceling
her tour and taking a break, and the rumors are
that's the reason why she's got some sort of eating disorder.
How do you how are you that skinny? And then
(26:33):
and then end up with a I'm too fat eating disorder.
But anyway, I just saw her latest on stage thing.
Holy cow, it's one of those hard to.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Look oh boy, that you'd think the the GLP ones
that you know you don't hear, the food noise or
the booze noise or whatever in your head, those drugs
maybe could be turned to something like that, because I
know a couple of people who are woman who no
(27:01):
matter how tan they get, they don't think they're tan enough.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
And isn't that probably something similar? But it's got to
be almost exactly the same thing. You're seeing yourself. You're
looking in the mirror and you look pale, You're looking
in the mirror and you look fat.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, it's gotta be the same thing. You're just like
solar radiation.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Marianna Grande was looking in the mirror and thought, ah,
I gott to drop a couple of pounds. I'm starting
to really plump up here.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I know plenty of people whose kids, boys and girls,
have gone down that road and it's rough.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Oh, it is terrible because their brain is malfunctioning. You
can yell, you can reason, but yeah, it's a tough thing.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You know how, I continuing to take it down the
stupid path. Do you know how?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I have often wished for a minor heart attack, which
I realized my sting the gods in the worst way,
because I felt like you would get my attention about
my health. That was I work out every day, announce
so it's not a problem. But I thought, you know,
a minor heart attack would make me snap to attention.
Could I get just a little bit of a what
are you on the ground? He has just a little
like a smitch?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, that's again, that's really really distasteful.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
But I know what you mean. If I could look
at you know, just that just the food.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I don't need the food beyond that's plenty of calories
and plenty of nutrition for you, Joseph, perhaps you should
stop stuffing your bible if you could, like have revulsion
just that food.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yes, I'm at the state Fair Saturday night with my kids.
What non pregnansle on pregnanzone? What do I do while
I'm watching the state Fair? Hypnotist. Man, this is some
class lifestyle here, me and the boys watching the State
Fair hypnotists. Why I play you a big giant bowl
of mint chocolate chip ice cream?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Oh my god, nobody will ever accuse you of pretension?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Oh my god, Wow, God, dang it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Only if you were just eating a big bowl of
ranch dressing would that be anymore what it is?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
I could be Honey Booboo's dad. I wonder if I
am somehow Did I ever meet her mom, come across
her some time? I gotta check you where I was
living at the time, or Miss June back when she
is slightly more slendering away?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Did she pass? She certainly was on the road to it.
I don't know. Okay, don't actually care. We'll get back
to trying to help your lives, not hurt your lives
in a moment.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Strong Getty show, Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Armstrong, Hey, Getty see Armstrong and Getty shirt.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Back in the day, when we first started this, it
was LBG right Lesbian Gay Community LGB. Yeah, be engaged
by Yeah LGB LGB for quite a while yeah, And
then the T came along, which got everything quite confusing,
And then they started adding letters as.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
We all know.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Well, now we've got a whole bunch of letters. At
least this lady up in Canada that we played earlier
had a whole bunch of letters.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
This is getting excessive.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think you may have missed gendered him or them.
They are something I don't know. Why don't we go
ahead and play that over folks? Just turning in twelve Michael, when.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
The budget was released, I was shocked to find out
that Prime Minister Carney is cutting seven billion dollars between
Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations. They provided zero
dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG two
s lgbtqq I A plus.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
This is abhorrent.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Got this there's a genocide against my sexual orientation thing?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
What oh?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It rallies people to the cause, which I want to
talk about in a minute. But Mike Lawyer from Chicago
with the comment of the day, how can there be
be a genocide if people don't even know what the
hell it means? If I was told to go out
and round up all of these people, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Know where to start.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well, that's why we have tasked Katie with figuring out
what M M, I, W G two s l g
bt q q.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I A plus stands for okay, so we can be
good people and we know this.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
CA?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning,
intersex A sexual plus?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
And so what's the plus for? At this point? Who's
who's not included? And that means that this list is
not over there?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Sounds complete? Yeah? Are there?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
But I'm asking are there three more or thirty more?
Here's the key to this? And these people absolutely missing
and murdered Indigenous women and girls and all the other things.
Here's the key to this. And this is what you
have to understand, and this is what we've been preaching
about for quite some time. The point is not that
all of those people need your consciousness. The point is
(32:17):
that that you obey them by memorizing all those letters
to show you're down with it. And if you're not,
they can call you a bigot, which means they can
kick you out of power or whatever. It's a it's
a weapon of takeover all of this postmodernism crap. That's
(32:38):
why it exists to keep you afraid of being called
a bigot.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
It happened during the Cultural Revolution under Mao and China
in the late sixties early seventies, also where the language
had changed so much as reading about how people would
get up sometimes and read the company newsletter, the communist
newsletter to find out what the new term was for
various things, so that you could be on the right side.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Of things, and you didn't dare use even yesterday's term.
That was the important You better use this term yesterday
because it wasn't about the term.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
It was about your obedience. Yeah, we've been doing that
for years.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
We just didn't quite catch on to what was going
on when it was black, Negro, colored, African American, you know,
all those it would change and then you had to
be on the right side of the new change, right exactly.
So when I asked if Katie could, I said, Katie,
(33:36):
here's a homework assignment for you to look up all
those letters.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And Joe said she rolled her eyes. And that reminded
me of.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Having a conversation with some of the other day And
I remember talking about this while back, that they had
determined that the eye roll is the ultimate sign of
contempt in a relationship. If you're married, if you ever
roll your eyes at your spouse, you're like beyond repair.
Or if your spouse ever rolls their eyes at you,
you're like you're you're in the probably can't fix it territory.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
That sounds overstated to me.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I would say, more like, understand, that's throwing a harder
punch than you might realize.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Yeah, when when I when, when I was discussing this
the other day, I feel like there are topics where
you could get right with and a role like if
you have an ongoing running disagreement about a monopoly rule
or something.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
All kind of funny that you argue about it. Oh my, yeah,
here we go again.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know, I was gonna say, Judy and I have
playful eye rolls all the time about you know, teasing
each other.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But something serious.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
An eye roll on something serious would probably be that's
all about your context.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, excellent point, both of you. Well done, Well done.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
A so coming up some a number of fascinatingly overlapping
yet differing perspectives on where the Iran conflict is right
now and who won or is winning, or just any
of that.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
How does the murdered?
Speaker 4 (35:06):
How does the murdered community fit in with the current
living gay community that you know demands rights and respects
and and you know you can't be discriminated against the
world if you're murdered. I mean, that's just a different.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Topic of human Yeah, it's a cause up in Canada
with the treatment of the Indigenous people through the years.
A lot of it can understand that about how how's
I get lumped in with the same reason that you
have queers for Palestine. You just rope in everything to
the Omni cause, pretend that it's a moral question. And
(35:38):
actually soft heads like that that MP probably think it
is a moral question.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
They don't know they're being used by the Marxists.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
But yeah, and you convince people that to be on
the right side of this is to obey our take
on it, and they just keep finding causes to rope
into the Omni caause.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yes, Katie, you sound like a bigot for questioning it.
Exactly I do. Oh absolutely, gone
