Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arm Strong, arm Strong and Jettie.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And ge.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Arm Strong and Strong.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I have successfully used a pet psychic exclamation point. My
first disclaimer should be that I'm a scientist. I feel
like you'd be more specific if you were like a
particular kind of scientist. Then just say I am a scientist.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Maybe I only do you set aside disbelief, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I do not believe in voodoo, but this had me
completely convinced. I had a senior cat who all of
a sudden started peeing on me.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
No idea why.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The vet ruled out all bladder and other health issues
and wanted me to put him on kitty prozac. That's
a thing at my wits end. I happened to hear
about a local pet psychic, and I thought, what the.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Hell, it can't hurt, all right?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The woman said my cat had arthritis in his hips
and that his legs hurt. She referred me to a
cat acupuncturist. Again, I'm feeling like a California idiot even
considering this, but I gave it a try.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Holy yes, what a difference.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The cat sat down and started purring immediately after the
first needle. When we got home, he ran around like
a kitten. That's all it took for me to become
a believer. Pardon any typos, I am a now a
believer in pet.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Psychic, a cat upuncturist.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
She took him to the doctor, and they didn't figure
out that they had hit problems, but the psychic and
the acupuncturist did.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay, I suppose that's possible. Sure it is.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, you know, I've been disappointed in vets and somebody
who deals with a lot of cats, and I'm walking
a little funny. But it's got to hit problems. The
idea that acupuncture cured them. There hasn't been a great
deal of science to bear out the validity of that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
The fact that the psychic, the fact that the psychic
figured anything out by reading the mind.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Of your pet. That did not happen. That did not
happen at all on any level.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Maybe you had a psychic who you know, I had
a cat with the same problem, But but I know what
it is that might have happened.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Oh yeah, sure, what did you say? The going rate
is in LA for a pets right now.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
But that's like if I showed up to an off
you know, a brand, a non licensed garage dentist, and
he told me invest young, because compound interest really is
a big factor. I mean, Okay, he's right, He's absolutely right,
But that doesn't mean he was a skilled dentist. And
if a so called cats psychic tells you, you know,
(02:20):
things walking a little.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Funny but excusing me have problems, that doesn't make them
a psychic.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I knew an animal communicator for live pets. She would
tell the owner what their pet was thinking and feeling.
Once she found a dog was trying to find the owner,
I asked her, why why didn't you just ask where
it lived?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's a good question. Dogs don't relate to addresses. You're
probably right about that.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
There's some belief that it tends to be women more
than men who buy into the whole pet psychic thing
by large numbers. I am guessing any thought on that, Jatie.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh thank god, I don't really relate to any of this. Well,
do you think it's more likely women are into it
than men? I just feel like, I mean, I guess
I could.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I definitely if I were to picture someone taking their
animal to a pet psychic. I'm not picturing a dude
doing that. This is all very strange to me, and
I don't want to talk too much smack because there
are people that are obviously believing in this way.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What's interesting about the whole land of fruits and nuts
and California being wacky and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It earns its reputation.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It is bigger nowhere than Los Angeles, this trend, which
is not that shocking.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I'll tell you this though, I don't have.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Any desire to be little people away a different emotion,
who have a different emotional makeup, how they learn.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
How they learn.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
You're right, Michael Jack, I am holding back so hard
right now.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Okay, so it's three to one. Let the belittling begin.
Just remember, folks, Joe wanted to be merciful. Now, I'm
looking at this Pew Research Center poll, over fifty percent
of Americans see their pets not so much as domesticated dogs,
cats and gerbils and the like, but rather quote as
much a part of their family as a human member.
So if you're if in some bizarre scenario you could
(04:11):
save either your dog or your son, you would have
to flip a coin. I think that's cuckoo nuts. But again,
to each their own.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, you'd spend every cent you have to save your
kid in a medical situation, right if it required it.
Would you do that for your dog? Would you go
completely broke?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No? I mean you would never say about a child.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We've already spent a lot of money, and that's Keina.
That's going to really put a denis, So go ahead
and put them down like that. That's not a thing.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But Ryan, I remember we talked about this years and
years ago when we took calls, and it became very
very clear that there are different levels of belief that
a dog, for instance, has the same rights and you
have the same responsibilities as you would towards say, a
human child.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We talked to quite a.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Few people who said I would absolutely spend every dime
I had and then borrow every dime I could for
treatments for my dog, even if it put me one
hundred thousand dollars in debt.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And they were completely sincere about it. Yeah, and I
don't doubt that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I think you're nuts now, you're not a pet owner
in someplace, Remember Santa Cruz changed the law.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
There, you're a pet guardian. Some paperwork involved in that.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Exactly, you can't call yourself an owner because that's like slavery,
very similar out, very similar to slavery. Here's Sonya Fitzpatrick.
She's a famous British animal communicator. You may know her
from the Oh. I guess this isn't aired yet, but
Animal Planet is green lit her show, The Pet Psychic.
She susses out what bothers the likes of monkeys and roosters,
(05:51):
as well as dogs and cats and the usual menagerie.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
When you're a pet psychic, apparently any animal, monkey, snake, gerbil, whatever,
you can read their mind equally.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Well, yeah, who is your monkey pissed off at you?
That's one mad monkey. Oh man, that's a pissed off monkey.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Let's see psychics working with racehorses.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Ah, here's a gal who specializes in rabbits.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Let's see he feels, he feels he's just going in
circles and what's the point, says the race horse.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I feel like I'm just running around in sir.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
And here's this other guy, kid, here's this other guy
who's seen Comodo dragons and once Michael oh Bob in Texas.
There's nothing that I won't see, he says. Some of
the most fascinating animals that I've worked with would have
to be for a camel, for example. I've also worked
(06:56):
with quite a few aquatic species. I work with a
tortoise in Florida, and I love the energy of the tortoise.
I tell you what I wish I had. The cajon
used to be a Charlotte and like you, sir, good
for you.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I really hate it when the midgets hit me with
the sticks once again. The race horse not using the
nomenclature of the day, But you can't count on horses
to be up on the latest PC.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Terms because there are horses right Here's a little illustration
for you. I'm going to have to use my descriptive
powers which are so well known because this is a photograph.
But here's this woman lying on a furry rug with
her head on a pillow outside out of doors. She
(07:41):
is surrounded by candles and like those little bowls, singing
bowls to rub.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
The malady thing around, and they make various times. Almost
bought one the same day I almost bought the gong.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
And there's a receiving there's a big crystal thing, and
she's lying on her back with her eyes closed amidst
all of this like new agey stuff, with her hand
resting on her dalmatian as the pet psychic leads the session.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know, that's whatever gets you through the night, making
it really hard not to ridicule.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, again, since we had psychics on in the past,
and dream analysts were the same way, you realize mostly
it was taken advantage of people who were either in
a bag. They're needy for a variety of reasons. Either
there and that's just their demeanor, or they've gone through
a really hard time. And sometimes when really bad things
happen in your life, you just need any relief.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And again, not psychic.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Communicator, please communicator, right, pet communicator.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I'm talking to a giant tortoise. I'm not being a psychicator.
Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The tortoise among beasts who ain't thinking nothing, tortoise ain't
got a thought in its head.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Honestly, these people try to talk to like those murder
hornets or something like that, something dangerous. Yeah, you a beast,
a great white shark.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Turtles ain't thinking nothing strange.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The good folks that lives of TikTok, one or more
of them somehow posed as a thirteen year old girl
and called an organization called Trans Youth Equality Foundation and
talk to its director, Susan Mosh, again portraying themselves as
a thirteen year old girl and asking for advice on
a variety of topics. And this is what it sounded like.
(09:33):
Michael will start with seventy go from there.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So for you, you and your child would have to
go out of state.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Correct, Well, I'm actually the child.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I'm thirteen.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh hot, your voice sounded like a park voice.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Have you talked to your parents about your care?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, my parents are very transphobic and they do not
support my transition, or you know if.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
He and fro.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Sometimes kids decide by time they're sixteen ish to get emancipated,
as they say, to say.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Get a little job and be on their own, which
probably sounds terrible and hard, but it could happen.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
It does for some.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And when they're on their own and they're emancipated, they
can make their own decisions about what medical treatment they want.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
You job, this is a thirteen year old girl at
least ostensibly right. And this is the millionth example of
there's no counseling, there's no what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Oh you were raped as a child.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Oh you have anxiety and depression, you have various you're autistic.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
These activists don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Next clip, how do you deal with transphobic parents? You know,
of course, would you hear about parents that will get crazy?
Say absolutely, no, no way, blah blah. This is dumb,
This is unhealthy. And it depends on how right wing
leaning they are, depends on how religious they are, that
kind of thing, far.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Right right like Trumpsters.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Some of these people are really brainwashed. You know, it's
like brainwashing techniques. You know, it's a sad state of affairs.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The people that believe a thirteen year old girls shouldn't
become a boy on her own without the parents knowing
are the that's the brainwashed crowd.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
How about another one, Michael, do.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You think your parents expect you to go to college
one day?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Definitely?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
I mean, because I mean, if you could be brave
and get yourself to think about a college, it's not
they don't have to know.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's why you're going, just like you know you can
be like that's I want to go to.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Boston so bad, to so many colleges there.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know you can make the reasons and you're sure
you heard the expression chosen family. You'll find your chosen family.
You know that one day that will be like friends
that accept you become more like your family.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know, Man, if you're talking to my kid like that,
I would want to kill you.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And then finally this, I'm.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Just starting, like I've been identifying with key hinds run
on for a while, but.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I would like to start off with a binder. So
are there any resources that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You guys have for me to get a binder? Well?
Would you have binders?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
So I could definitely send you some.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I just would need to know where to send it,
because sometimes you're really young, a parent's a box, come in,
they're like, you know, what the heck is this? Why
are you getting a box? You know what you order
and then they kind of take it away when they
find out what it is. But some people know it
to a front's house or a relative's house. But if
you could think of a way that you would be
(12:40):
able to get it, you know, we would definitely send you.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Some thirteen year old girl.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Being taught how to evade her parents' attention, to mislead them,
and to get a binder so she can flatten her
breasts because she wants to look like a boy again
at age thirteen. And of course, no screening, no talk
about any other psychological problems, just all right, here's how
you do it. And I would love to know the
(13:08):
percentages of these people who are avowed neo Marxists. The
idea of being if you can establish a queer identity,
which is a blanket term that's not a specific thing,
is a blanket term that means I'm against society as
it is.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I'm queer.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Look at me, I'm a rebel because maybe you're not
lesbian or gay, you're a transgender, or maybe they didn't
get you through the Black Lives Matter thing. Tear down
the system, tear down the system. It's all about tearing
down the system. And they know they've got to turn
the kids against their parents, because the parents will settle
them down and say, yeah, they're obviously flaws with a system,
but how about you work to fix them to make
(13:47):
them better. Volunteer, become an attorney, something like that. No, no, no, no, no,
no no, they want to turn them into little neo Marxists.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So the person advising the child group were they with
or what was.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
That is trans Youth Equality Foundation t y e F.
And these people are teachers at schools too, and administrators
at schools, and.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
This stuff came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Well, it came out of the teachers colleges, and it
came out of the German intellectual salons of the forties
and fifties. To read on, read up about it if
you want. They've written books with their names on them
saying precisely what they want to do. It's not like
it didn't you know what. In fact, what I just
said it came out of nowhere is the most untrue
thing I have ever said.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's it's easily trackable, but people are just not aware
of it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, but it certainly gained prominence out of nowhere for
all of us who are just you know, going on
with our lives where we're and he gets slept in
the face with this the new thing is just like
what who what?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Huh? Yeah? I would agree completely.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Let's see a Norton ad has made that page unusable,
so I'll skip that article. I just wanted to get
to this. Here's a therapist who said, I just took
it some organization training on for therapists on how to
support families of gender diverse children. I didn't realize how
much trans organizations hate black people, and I thought, wow, what?
(15:23):
And I guess they taught her at length that the
reason is because they can't manipulate black parents to affirm
their children as easily. The training explained to me how
many black families reject the idea and view the whole
trans thing is a white issue, crazy white people.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But that's true, crazy white people thing. It is a
crazy white people thing.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh yeah, you folks are absolutely right. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
It's the job of therapists to explain to black parents
that the gender journey is real and their kids will
die if they don't agree. These people hate black culture.
I know the left is racist, but I never realized
it in this way before. Your kid will die if
you don't get them a binder and hormones and surgeries
an utter dishonesty. I eminate all DEI programs everywhere and
(16:13):
fight this stuff to the extent you can.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'll bet that's true for most people from South of
the border too. As with the Black Crown, it's a
crazy white person thing. It's an over educated white person thing,
this weirdness.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah yeah, I imagine going into the typical immigrant home
of Mexican folks or whatever and saying, yeah, yeah, we
want to turn Wan into Anita.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Tell Wan Senior that and see how it goes.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Jack Armstrong and Joey Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But speaking of electric cars, and the reason we have
electric cars, of course, is because we're killing the climate
and or we're killing the climate or killing the planet,
and we're all going to die soon. We all know that, right,
how many years we have left, like, got like six months?
We're all going to be dead, boiling in the sea.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yes, your suv is sticking a knife into the planet's
spleen right now. You are a murder human Progress, which
is a magazine now website, came out with these numbers yesterday.
Adjusted for population, climate related deaths have fallen by ninety
nine point two five percent since nineteen twenty, So in
(17:19):
the last one hundred years, climate related deaths have fallen
about one hundred percent. Meanwhile, the standard of living of
billions of people around the planet has skyrocket. Good premature
death has plunged, disease, misery, infant mortality, all of it
has just dropped off of the map. But if we
(17:42):
somehow peaked in terms of the lack of climate cause
deaths and have backslid ever so slightly, we should absolutely
completely sacrifice all the rest of that stuff to make
sure the first category doesn't rise slightly.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Come on, right right.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
One of the responses to that was, Look, we are
going to innovate our way out of this problem eventually,
and we may have to, but things just aren't as
bad as people have been telling you they are.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So yeah, absolutely true. Sorry, Greta, do you have.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Any particular view on I mean, I know I know
the answer to this. I can't even believe I'm asking it.
I'm just asking it because every channel I flipped on today,
as I slipped through the channels overnight, the news broke
that Nikki Haley is suspending her campaign, a shock to
no one, And.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I was just going to ask you, Okay, I was
going to ask you.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Because it's the lead story on all broadcast news. Yes,
I don't think it's important at all, Okay, I'm just
asking you in case I'm off base.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Do you have any.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Thoughts on her full throw an endorsement of Trump? It
is their lead topic on all broadcast news from NPR
to Amazon BC.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Whether NICKI Haley will or not? Yeah, and needs to.
I couldn't give a crap. Okay, well then we're in
the same category. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
No, it's not like the sort of moderate Republicans or
aisle Crossers or you know, old school Republicans are are
persuadable at this point.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's that.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
No, No, she can say anything she wants. They still
won't be big fans of Trump. I mean, if she could,
She's a very bright lady. If she could come up
with some sort of really strong rationale for you know what, Yeah,
I've changed my mind if she could. As many many
Americans have lay out the calculation that look, Trump is flawed.
(19:49):
We all have her problems with them, but the far
left DEI Black Lives Matter, Marxist agenda will ruin the country.
Let's deal with Trump to keep them between the yellow lines.
I'm not Biden and Harris.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
We all this is an interesting thing about being a
human being. We all only know our own minds and personalities,
and then we have to extrapolate for everyone else on earth.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, we look for clues, but it's imperfect at best.
You're you're quite right.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But I can't imagine ever being swayed by any politician
about a different politician. Whether you tell me I should
or shouldn't vote for them, all right, good for you.
I'm still gonna make my own decision. I can't imagine
that being a factor for me unless they.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Lay out a rationale that is a persuasive and be
new to me. It's something I hadn't come to myself,
like the Biden Trump thing. And if you need NICKI
Haley's help, I suppose maybe you're just really really don't
like Trump and you need a little push or something.
(21:02):
I don't know, but yeah, if she can come up
with a really good persuasive line to get moderates off
their butts into the poles, that might help some.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Not at this point, not this many months out. I
just don't think it matter. How funny.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing even as I
was trying to build a rationale.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Here's the one thing again about my mind.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I don't know about other people, but my anecdotal evidence
for this sort of thing is. Back in two thousand,
I was really big on the McCain Straight Talk Express
and George W. Bush, you know, another family part of
what blah blah blah blah blah. I was just really
into McCain, and when he lost, I was very disappointed
(21:41):
and had no enthusiasm for Bush. But then after you
get like six eight months of the other side saying
all kinds of mean things about your side, you come
around to screw you people, and I.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Just think that's what will happened with most people. Again.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Sure, yeah, absolutely, you circle the wagon, sir. Is that
racist thing they call it?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Circle on the wagons are coming home?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But I think that, like, I think that's like dismissive
of it. It's it's makes it seem, i don't know,
cowardly or stupid or something. No, I'm not going to
listen to eight months of you beating up my side
and calling us a bunch of racist losers, idiots, and
and and and.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Not have an opinion, right right, You know, I really
wanted to get back to the climate change thing. But
as long as we're this far down the road, just
somebody remind me to got a great email. I absolutely
love this The bad Orange Man email from Maggie I
thought was terrific that we just shared with you. Then
(22:41):
Jess and Wiley Texas points out you're dumb and not
paying attention. The New York Times is finally articulated the
problem with Biden. I've been wondering why he's so I'm popular,
and why I don't like him. Finally the question is answered.
Quote from The New York Times. The polls suggested Biden's
weakness is concentrated among the less engaged, less educated segment
of the electorate, including many young, black and Hispanic voters
who traditionally vote for Democratic candidates. So I'm a moron.
(23:04):
I haven't being attention. Y'all are dumb and distracted too,
And the problem with the black and his back voters
feeling off from the party, less educated and engaged. That's
the problem Biden has all you stupid, stupid people who don't.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Know how wonderfully he is. Thank you Jess.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
In particular, the New York Times is saying, dumb people
of color.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, wow, that's great, that's great.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I was thinking about this yesterday with the realignment. How
long is it gonna take? With the realignment? As more
and more black and Hispanic people come over to the
Republican Party and it becomes the party of the working class,
which it seems is you know, fully happening when Will
White and maybe it's already happened right there in the
New York Times, when Will White too many degree liberals
(23:47):
start saying racist things about all the black and brown
people that have become Republicans are certainly racist adjacent, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
As soon as it's served them a minute, it serves them,
they will trade their principles for gain the second it
serves them.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, it sounds like from that New York Times line,
I mean, that's the first shot across the bow of
that that I've heard. Dumb black and brown people aren't
paying attention.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
They're the ones that were.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
We're there the weakness us smart people. We know, Joe Biden.
So when you still a god among men, I'm a
white guy in case you don't know that.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So when you know so coming from that point of view,
but when if you're brown or black and you were
voting Democrat, it's you know, you were just making decisions
based on the issues. You're taking a look at the
tax rate and policy. This and that and made a
decision and the Democratic Party was the best choice. If
you vote Republican, though, it's because you you're informed, your low.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Information voter, you weren't paying attention. You don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Yeah, probably fell for misinformation and or disinformation, right, Yeah,
I knew that was going to happen, and it's already happened.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I was working my way toward this email, which I
thought was great from Paolo. Lots of the left is
up in arms about the scotis allowing Trump on the
ballot in Colorado and other states. They're the same folks
that are squealing, we'll lose our democracy if he's elected.
If they succeed in keeping him off the ballot, haven't
we lost it already? They should be asking themselves whether
so afraid he'll be elected if he's as bad a
(25:17):
guy as they say is hint it's because the alternative
they offer his worse. Fix that and there'll be no
need to worry about him, and no need to steal
our democracy to save democracy. Yeah, the idea of yes,
we're going to mount half a dozen highly suspicious court
cases to keep the leading candidate off the ballot because
we love democracy. Good lord, if there's a greater hypocrisy
(25:41):
in American history, point it out to me, please, would you?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I would also like to know one more thing
election wise, who are y'all who are voting for Maryann Williamson?
And is it a joke vote or is there something
about her crazy act that you're digging.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
If it's a joke, I appreciate it. I guess I
appreciate you hanging in there. I guess you do too.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Maryann Williamson, who got out of the race, then surprisingly
did well in Michigan with like four percent and decided
to get back into the race because she had Marianne
momentum or something.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We slam it like nobody's business. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Those Yeah, we're voting in Williamson just because she's like
a terrort card reader, right, or palm reader or something, chiropractor,
one of.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Those things, no comment, some sort of helper of some sort. Yeah, well,
she's she's a hobbyist, so she felt like going fishing. Essentially,
she felt like getting back in the presidential race, giving
a couple of speeches. Whatever, Yeah, you're yourself, Marianne slam.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It, boy, if you could get anybody to throw money
your way, and you're flying around first class and staying
in nice hotels and eating a bunch of meals and
pretending to talk about policy, it'd be kind of fun
for a while.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
We slam it like nobody's business. Edie, I just went
and that's the roseries.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
A lady walked diver and she's standing in front of
me the blueberries and strawberries. And she opened up the
blueberries and started touching them. After she squeezed the blueberries,
she put them back and did it, and so she
grabbed the one she wanted and walked away.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Is that no yuck? She squeezed my blueberries?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
As a beloved blues song by Old Blind Jimmy Differson.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
She squeezed the blueberries. That was I believe.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
A kiwi accent, which means you're awesy.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Okay, France, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I have purchased blueberries where you get them home and
they're all soft in machine.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Nobody wants to eat them.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
No very disppin. But I'm not going to open them
up and squeeze them ahead of time. I just don't
by an eyeball them. You can you can tell how
hard they are by eyeball them pretty effectively.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'm a big blueberry can summer. Which which fruits do
you thump? Thump?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
What are your thumpable throats? A watermelon in a muskmelon.
People hate when I say mul and muskmelon. It's canalobe
for the rest of you, I guess.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I know.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I've long found pineapples to be a bit of a
challenge in avocados.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Avocados I squeeze a little bit. I think you have
to what should they feel like?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
If they're hard, they're not ready, And well, that's fine
if you're going to serve avocados in three days. But
if you're like gonna whip up something tonight, you're gonna make.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
You some guacamole. You can't have rock hard avocados.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
My son prefers the bananas when they're really green, and
I hate that flavor. That's probably my least favorite flavor
on earth is a super green banana.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Black. Hmmm, you've had cow dung kicked into your mouth, right?
I often say that to my kids. This is the
worst thing I've ever tasted, and I've had cow excrement
in my mouth.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Do you say extrementer thir teenagers. Do you drop the
S bomb because the joke's funnier with the S bomb.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, I think I usually say crap, I was at
a restaurant your dad, I get it. So they had
a get together last night at the junior high because
my son is getting out of sixth grade and heading
into junior high. Anyway, So the kids were there and
they're talking about how different junior high is and this
and that. But what got the most tittering among the
(29:32):
children was when they mentioned school dances. So this will
be entering the era of school dances for the first time.
There's a lot of looking around and shuffling over that one.
Some of the kids very excited about it, mostly the girls.
Some of the kids not excited about it at all,
mostly the boys.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Now, obviously you will be obligated to appoint a transgender
bell of the ball, fall, Queen, Homecoming, Queen, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
But we'll work that out.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The dances start in junior high. The first dance I
ever attended EGG was in seventh grade. Man, I don't
know if I've ever been more uncomfortable in my life.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh my god, I just I remember as my kids
transitioned from elementary school to middle school, picking them up
or waiting for them outside or something, and seeing some
of the girls who were rather proud of their how
do I put this and not get arrested? Their their
(30:35):
development is adult females and more than proud enough to
flaunt it, and thinking, what the hell.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Is you in eighth in eighth grade? Wow?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yes, yeah, the whole concept now, granted, in a warm
weather climate, it's different than we grew up in the
Midwest part of it, but some of the like those
shorts are offully short and that top is afully tight.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yep. Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I wasn't even thinking of like a sexual element in
the dances, but I suppose you know at this age, Yeah,
what are you gonna do it? Just in general, though,
why is the transition from grade school to junior high
such a big deal? I'm trying to remember. I my
memory is that that's like when it was like really
out there and in the open, the whole boy girl
relationship thing.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Katie.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yeah, I would think so, because you're I mean, I
don't know, there was something for me. There was something
about the words high school at the end of it.
So you weren't in elementary school. You were in junior
high school, so you were you know, you were one
of the big kids.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, I see, I moved schools right then, so and
junior high was a crazy, uncomfortable and unhappy time for me.
But I thought it was just because I moved schools
left all my friends behind. But it might just be
based on what I was listening to teachers talk about
last night. It's tough for everybody at that age.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Plus especially for females. The differences. Yeah that shape seriously.
That well, at least that change happened for me. In
between elementary school and junior high school. I went away
for summer and came back.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Hey, guys, wow, I'll bet that is something.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Yeah, it's it's because it's uncomfortable, but you want it
to happen, but it's more uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah anything. I guess I've never really thought about it.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
But yeah, at that age, if you're going to show
up to school with a different pair of shoes, you're wondering,
you know, what are people are going to say about it?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Or did you know showing up with a different body?
Holy crap. I was one of three girls that that
happened to that. We showed up after that summer and
it was drastic. Yeah, and did people comment on that,
Oh yeah, non stop. I ay nicknames.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
I was called somebody called me dirty Pillows and that
lasted with me all the way through high school.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh yeah, that's not a good nickname. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'm older, so probably you wouldn't have gotten away with
this as a teacher. But I remember teachers, teachers commenting
on the girls that had showed up back at school
and you know, looking different.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Is that something? Teachers would mention it, commenting, like mentioning,
how like have you seen Katie this year? Yeah, not
the same Katie as last year? Huh whoa? As teachers
would say that, and everybody would be disgusting. It is weird.
It's a different time. I'm gonna needs to call to
catch a predator on those people.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
One of that changes is PE classes, when you start
getting dressed together and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Right, that's one of the things they mentioned that the
PE class, you're gonna start wearing I got pea clothes,
you got shorts and a T shirt, and you're gonna
have to change clothes.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, it'll be a new thing. Or the girls.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
Which girls had to get bras, which ones didn't. Oh,
that was a big conversation, all the girls peaking at
each other.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah weird, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
But so they did announce that there are going to
be dances this year, and some people seemed horrified by it.
Some people seemed excited. I was horrified, you, Katie, as
a girl, seemed like the girls were more excited about it.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
I loved it. Yeah, Oh, the dress, the makeup, the
all of it. Loved it.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Plus, as girls, you can run out there with just
your friends that are also girls in dance and ye
around have a good time.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
It's not well, it's an option for the boys, but
much scarier for the guys.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
The pressures on them too to ask the girl to
the dance and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's n No.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I danced the first time it had an eighth grade dance,
and it's because some girl came and asked me for
the last dance of the night. I can still remember
the song Donna Summer. Last dance. I was sweating bullets.
I mean I was just I was soaked in sweat.
We were actually touching each other because it was a
slow dance and I was just, I mean just my
shirt was wet.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
What do I do? What do I do?
Speaker 1 (34:36):

Speaker 2 (35:00):

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arm Strong, arm Strong and Jettie.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And ge.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Arm Strong and Strong.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I have successfully used a pet psychic exclamation point. My
first disclaimer should be that I'm a scientist. I feel
like you'd be more specific if you were like a
particular kind of scientist. Then just say I am a scientist.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Maybe I only do you set aside disbelief, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I do not believe in voodoo, but this had me
completely convinced. I had a senior cat who all of
a sudden started peeing on me.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
No idea why.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The vet ruled out all bladder and other health issues
and wanted me to put him on kitty prozac. That's
a thing at my wits end. I happened to hear
about a local pet psychic, and I thought, what the.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Hell, it can't hurt, all right?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The woman said my cat had arthritis in his hips
and that his legs hurt. She referred me to a
cat acupuncturist. Again, I'm feeling like a California idiot even
considering this, but I gave it a try.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Holy yes, what a difference.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The cat sat down and started purring immediately after the
first needle. When we got home, he ran around like
a kitten. That's all it took for me to become
a believer. Pardon any typos, I am a now a
believer in pet.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Psychic, a cat upuncturist.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
She took him to the doctor, and they didn't figure
out that they had hit problems, but the psychic and
the acupuncturist did.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay, I suppose that's possible. Sure it is.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, you know, I've been disappointed in vets and somebody
who deals with a lot of cats, and I'm walking
a little funny. But it's got to hit problems. The
idea that acupuncture cured them. There hasn't been a great
deal of science to bear out the validity of that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
The fact that the psychic, the fact that the psychic
figured anything out by reading the mind.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Of your pet. That did not happen. That did not
happen at all on any level.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Maybe you had a psychic who you know, I had
a cat with the same problem, But but I know what
it is that might have happened.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Oh yeah, sure, what did you say? The going rate
is in LA for a pets right now.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
But that's like if I showed up to an off
you know, a brand, a non licensed garage dentist, and
he told me invest young, because compound interest really is
a big factor. I mean, Okay, he's right, He's absolutely right,
But that doesn't mean he was a skilled dentist. And
if a so called cats psychic tells you, you know,
(02:20):
things walking a little.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Funny but excusing me have problems, that doesn't make them
a psychic.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I knew an animal communicator for live pets. She would
tell the owner what their pet was thinking and feeling.
Once she found a dog was trying to find the owner,
I asked her, why why didn't you just ask where
it lived?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's a good question. Dogs don't relate to addresses. You're
probably right about that.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
There's some belief that it tends to be women more
than men who buy into the whole pet psychic thing
by large numbers. I am guessing any thought on that, Jatie.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh thank god, I don't really relate to any of this. Well,
do you think it's more likely women are into it
than men? I just feel like, I mean, I guess
I could.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I definitely if I were to picture someone taking their
animal to a pet psychic. I'm not picturing a dude
doing that. This is all very strange to me, and
I don't want to talk too much smack because there
are people that are obviously believing in this way.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What's interesting about the whole land of fruits and nuts
and California being wacky and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It earns its reputation.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It is bigger nowhere than Los Angeles, this trend, which
is not that shocking.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I'll tell you this though, I don't have.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Any desire to be little people away a different emotion,
who have a different emotional makeup, how they learn.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
How they learn.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
You're right, Michael Jack, I am holding back so hard
right now.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Okay, so it's three to one. Let the belittling begin.
Just remember, folks, Joe wanted to be merciful. Now, I'm
looking at this Pew Research Center poll, over fifty percent
of Americans see their pets not so much as domesticated dogs,
cats and gerbils and the like, but rather quote as
much a part of their family as a human member.
So if you're if in some bizarre scenario you could
(04:11):
save either your dog or your son, you would have
to flip a coin. I think that's cuckoo nuts. But again,
to each their own.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, you'd spend every cent you have to save your
kid in a medical situation, right if it required it.
Would you do that for your dog? Would you go
completely broke?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No? I mean you would never say about a child.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We've already spent a lot of money, and that's Keina.
That's going to really put a denis, So go ahead
and put them down like that. That's not a thing.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But Ryan, I remember we talked about this years and
years ago when we took calls, and it became very
very clear that there are different levels of belief that
a dog, for instance, has the same rights and you
have the same responsibilities as you would towards say, a
human child.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We talked to quite a.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Few people who said I would absolutely spend every dime
I had and then borrow every dime I could for
treatments for my dog, even if it put me one
hundred thousand dollars in debt.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And they were completely sincere about it. Yeah, and I
don't doubt that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I think you're nuts now, you're not a pet owner
in someplace, Remember Santa Cruz changed the law.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
There, you're a pet guardian. Some paperwork involved in that.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Exactly, you can't call yourself an owner because that's like slavery,
very similar out, very similar to slavery. Here's Sonya Fitzpatrick.
She's a famous British animal communicator. You may know her
from the Oh. I guess this isn't aired yet, but
Animal Planet is green lit her show, The Pet Psychic.
She susses out what bothers the likes of monkeys and roosters,
(05:51):
as well as dogs and cats and the usual menagerie.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
When you're a pet psychic, apparently any animal, monkey, snake, gerbil, whatever,
you can read their mind equally.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Well, yeah, who is your monkey pissed off at you?
That's one mad monkey. Oh man, that's a pissed off monkey.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Let's see psychics working with racehorses.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Ah, here's a gal who specializes in rabbits.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Let's see he feels, he feels he's just going in
circles and what's the point, says the race horse.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I feel like I'm just running around in sir.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
And here's this other guy, kid, here's this other guy
who's seen Comodo dragons and once Michael oh Bob in Texas.
There's nothing that I won't see, he says. Some of
the most fascinating animals that I've worked with would have
to be for a camel, for example. I've also worked
(06:56):
with quite a few aquatic species. I work with a
tortoise in Florida, and I love the energy of the tortoise.
I tell you what I wish I had. The cajon
used to be a Charlotte and like you, sir, good
for you.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I really hate it when the midgets hit me with
the sticks once again. The race horse not using the
nomenclature of the day, But you can't count on horses
to be up on the latest PC.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Terms because there are horses right Here's a little illustration
for you. I'm going to have to use my descriptive
powers which are so well known because this is a photograph.
But here's this woman lying on a furry rug with
her head on a pillow outside out of doors. She
(07:41):
is surrounded by candles and like those little bowls, singing
bowls to rub.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
The malady thing around, and they make various times. Almost
bought one the same day I almost bought the gong.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
And there's a receiving there's a big crystal thing, and
she's lying on her back with her eyes closed amidst
all of this like new agey stuff, with her hand
resting on her dalmatian as the pet psychic leads the session.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know, that's whatever gets you through the night, making
it really hard not to ridicule.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, again, since we had psychics on in the past,
and dream analysts were the same way, you realize mostly
it was taken advantage of people who were either in
a bag. They're needy for a variety of reasons. Either
there and that's just their demeanor, or they've gone through
a really hard time. And sometimes when really bad things
happen in your life, you just need any relief.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And again, not psychic.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Communicator, please communicator, right, pet communicator.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I'm talking to a giant tortoise. I'm not being a psychicator.
Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The tortoise among beasts who ain't thinking nothing, tortoise ain't
got a thought in its head.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Honestly, these people try to talk to like those murder
hornets or something like that, something dangerous. Yeah, you a beast,
a great white shark.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Turtles ain't thinking nothing strange.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The good folks that lives of TikTok, one or more
of them somehow posed as a thirteen year old girl
and called an organization called Trans Youth Equality Foundation and
talk to its director, Susan Mosh, again portraying themselves as
a thirteen year old girl and asking for advice on
a variety of topics. And this is what it sounded like.
(09:33):
Michael will start with seventy go from there.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So for you, you and your child would have to
go out of state.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Correct, Well, I'm actually the child.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I'm thirteen.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh hot, your voice sounded like a park voice.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Have you talked to your parents about your care?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, my parents are very transphobic and they do not
support my transition, or you know if.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
He and fro.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Sometimes kids decide by time they're sixteen ish to get emancipated,
as they say, to say.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Get a little job and be on their own, which
probably sounds terrible and hard, but it could happen.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
It does for some.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And when they're on their own and they're emancipated, they
can make their own decisions about what medical treatment they want.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
You job, this is a thirteen year old girl at
least ostensibly right. And this is the millionth example of
there's no counseling, there's no what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Oh you were raped as a child.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Oh you have anxiety and depression, you have various you're autistic.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
These activists don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Next clip, how do you deal with transphobic parents? You know,
of course, would you hear about parents that will get crazy?
Say absolutely, no, no way, blah blah. This is dumb,
This is unhealthy. And it depends on how right wing
leaning they are, depends on how religious they are, that
kind of thing, far.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Right right like Trumpsters.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Some of these people are really brainwashed. You know, it's
like brainwashing techniques. You know, it's a sad state of affairs.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The people that believe a thirteen year old girls shouldn't
become a boy on her own without the parents knowing
are the that's the brainwashed crowd.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
How about another one, Michael, do.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You think your parents expect you to go to college
one day?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Definitely?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
I mean, because I mean, if you could be brave
and get yourself to think about a college, it's not
they don't have to know.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's why you're going, just like you know you can
be like that's I want to go to.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Boston so bad, to so many colleges there.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know you can make the reasons and you're sure
you heard the expression chosen family. You'll find your chosen family.
You know that one day that will be like friends
that accept you become more like your family.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know, Man, if you're talking to my kid like that,
I would want to kill you.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And then finally this, I'm.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Just starting, like I've been identifying with key hinds run
on for a while, but.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I would like to start off with a binder. So
are there any resources that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You guys have for me to get a binder? Well?
Would you have binders?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
So I could definitely send you some.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I just would need to know where to send it,
because sometimes you're really young, a parent's a box, come in,
they're like, you know, what the heck is this? Why
are you getting a box? You know what you order
and then they kind of take it away when they
find out what it is. But some people know it
to a front's house or a relative's house. But if
you could think of a way that you would be
(12:40):
able to get it, you know, we would definitely send you.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Some thirteen year old girl.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Being taught how to evade her parents' attention, to mislead them,
and to get a binder so she can flatten her
breasts because she wants to look like a boy again
at age thirteen. And of course, no screening, no talk
about any other psychological problems, just all right, here's how
you do it. And I would love to know the
(13:08):
percentages of these people who are avowed neo Marxists. The
idea of being if you can establish a queer identity,
which is a blanket term that's not a specific thing,
is a blanket term that means I'm against society as
it is.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I'm queer.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Look at me, I'm a rebel because maybe you're not
lesbian or gay, you're a transgender, or maybe they didn't
get you through the Black Lives Matter thing. Tear down
the system, tear down the system. It's all about tearing
down the system. And they know they've got to turn
the kids against their parents, because the parents will settle
them down and say, yeah, they're obviously flaws with a system,
but how about you work to fix them to make
(13:47):
them better. Volunteer, become an attorney, something like that. No, no, no, no, no,
no no, they want to turn them into little neo Marxists.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So the person advising the child group were they with
or what was.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
That is trans Youth Equality Foundation t y e F.
And these people are teachers at schools too, and administrators
at schools, and.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
This stuff came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Well, it came out of the teachers colleges, and it
came out of the German intellectual salons of the forties
and fifties. To read on, read up about it if
you want. They've written books with their names on them
saying precisely what they want to do. It's not like
it didn't you know what. In fact, what I just
said it came out of nowhere is the most untrue
thing I have ever said.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's it's easily trackable, but people are just not aware
of it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, but it certainly gained prominence out of nowhere for
all of us who are just you know, going on
with our lives where we're and he gets slept in
the face with this the new thing is just like
what who what?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Huh? Yeah? I would agree completely.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Let's see a Norton ad has made that page unusable,
so I'll skip that article. I just wanted to get
to this. Here's a therapist who said, I just took
it some organization training on for therapists on how to
support families of gender diverse children. I didn't realize how
much trans organizations hate black people, and I thought, wow, what?
(15:23):
And I guess they taught her at length that the
reason is because they can't manipulate black parents to affirm
their children as easily. The training explained to me how
many black families reject the idea and view the whole
trans thing is a white issue, crazy white people.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But that's true, crazy white people thing. It is a
crazy white people thing.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh yeah, you folks are absolutely right. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
It's the job of therapists to explain to black parents
that the gender journey is real and their kids will
die if they don't agree. These people hate black culture.
I know the left is racist, but I never realized
it in this way before. Your kid will die if
you don't get them a binder and hormones and surgeries
an utter dishonesty. I eminate all DEI programs everywhere and
(16:13):
fight this stuff to the extent you can.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'll bet that's true for most people from South of
the border too. As with the Black Crown, it's a
crazy white person thing. It's an over educated white person thing,
this weirdness.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah yeah, I imagine going into the typical immigrant home
of Mexican folks or whatever and saying, yeah, yeah, we
want to turn Wan into Anita.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Tell Wan Senior that and see how it goes.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Jack Armstrong and Joey Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But speaking of electric cars, and the reason we have
electric cars, of course, is because we're killing the climate
and or we're killing the climate or killing the planet,
and we're all going to die soon. We all know that, right,
how many years we have left, like, got like six months?
We're all going to be dead, boiling in the sea.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yes, your suv is sticking a knife into the planet's
spleen right now. You are a murder human Progress, which
is a magazine now website, came out with these numbers yesterday.
Adjusted for population, climate related deaths have fallen by ninety
nine point two five percent since nineteen twenty, So in
(17:19):
the last one hundred years, climate related deaths have fallen
about one hundred percent. Meanwhile, the standard of living of
billions of people around the planet has skyrocket. Good premature
death has plunged, disease, misery, infant mortality, all of it
has just dropped off of the map. But if we
(17:42):
somehow peaked in terms of the lack of climate cause
deaths and have backslid ever so slightly, we should absolutely
completely sacrifice all the rest of that stuff to make
sure the first category doesn't rise slightly.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Come on, right right.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
One of the responses to that was, Look, we are
going to innovate our way out of this problem eventually,
and we may have to, but things just aren't as
bad as people have been telling you they are.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So yeah, absolutely true. Sorry, Greta, do you have.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Any particular view on I mean, I know I know
the answer to this. I can't even believe I'm asking it.
I'm just asking it because every channel I flipped on today,
as I slipped through the channels overnight, the news broke
that Nikki Haley is suspending her campaign, a shock to
no one, And.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I was just going to ask you, Okay, I was
going to ask you.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Because it's the lead story on all broadcast news. Yes,
I don't think it's important at all, Okay, I'm just
asking you in case I'm off base.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Do you have any.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Thoughts on her full throw an endorsement of Trump? It
is their lead topic on all broadcast news from NPR
to Amazon BC.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Whether NICKI Haley will or not? Yeah, and needs to.
I couldn't give a crap. Okay, well then we're in
the same category. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
No, it's not like the sort of moderate Republicans or
aisle Crossers or you know, old school Republicans are are
persuadable at this point.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's that.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
No, No, she can say anything she wants. They still
won't be big fans of Trump. I mean, if she could,
She's a very bright lady. If she could come up
with some sort of really strong rationale for you know what, Yeah,
I've changed my mind if she could. As many many
Americans have lay out the calculation that look, Trump is flawed.
(19:49):
We all have her problems with them, but the far
left DEI Black Lives Matter, Marxist agenda will ruin the country.
Let's deal with Trump to keep them between the yellow lines.
I'm not Biden and Harris.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
We all this is an interesting thing about being a
human being. We all only know our own minds and personalities,
and then we have to extrapolate for everyone else on earth.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, we look for clues, but it's imperfect at best.
You're you're quite right.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But I can't imagine ever being swayed by any politician
about a different politician. Whether you tell me I should
or shouldn't vote for them, all right, good for you.
I'm still gonna make my own decision. I can't imagine
that being a factor for me unless they.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Lay out a rationale that is a persuasive and be
new to me. It's something I hadn't come to myself,
like the Biden Trump thing. And if you need NICKI
Haley's help, I suppose maybe you're just really really don't
like Trump and you need a little push or something.
(21:02):
I don't know, but yeah, if she can come up
with a really good persuasive line to get moderates off
their butts into the poles, that might help some.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Not at this point, not this many months out. I
just don't think it matter. How funny.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing even as I
was trying to build a rationale.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Here's the one thing again about my mind.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I don't know about other people, but my anecdotal evidence
for this sort of thing is. Back in two thousand,
I was really big on the McCain Straight Talk Express
and George W. Bush, you know, another family part of
what blah blah blah blah blah. I was just really
into McCain, and when he lost, I was very disappointed
(21:41):
and had no enthusiasm for Bush. But then after you
get like six eight months of the other side saying
all kinds of mean things about your side, you come
around to screw you people, and I.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Just think that's what will happened with most people. Again.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Sure, yeah, absolutely, you circle the wagon, sir. Is that
racist thing they call it?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Circle on the wagons are coming home?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But I think that, like, I think that's like dismissive
of it. It's it's makes it seem, i don't know,
cowardly or stupid or something. No, I'm not going to
listen to eight months of you beating up my side
and calling us a bunch of racist losers, idiots, and
and and and.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Not have an opinion, right right, You know, I really
wanted to get back to the climate change thing. But
as long as we're this far down the road, just
somebody remind me to got a great email. I absolutely
love this The bad Orange Man email from Maggie I
thought was terrific that we just shared with you. Then
(22:41):
Jess and Wiley Texas points out you're dumb and not
paying attention. The New York Times is finally articulated the
problem with Biden. I've been wondering why he's so I'm popular,
and why I don't like him. Finally the question is answered.
Quote from The New York Times. The polls suggested Biden's
weakness is concentrated among the less engaged, less educated segment
of the electorate, including many young, black and Hispanic voters
who traditionally vote for Democratic candidates. So I'm a moron.
(23:04):
I haven't being attention. Y'all are dumb and distracted too,
And the problem with the black and his back voters
feeling off from the party, less educated and engaged. That's
the problem Biden has all you stupid, stupid people who don't.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Know how wonderfully he is. Thank you Jess.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
In particular, the New York Times is saying, dumb people
of color.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, wow, that's great, that's great.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I was thinking about this yesterday with the realignment. How
long is it gonna take? With the realignment? As more
and more black and Hispanic people come over to the
Republican Party and it becomes the party of the working class,
which it seems is you know, fully happening when Will
White and maybe it's already happened right there in the
New York Times, when Will White too many degree liberals
(23:47):
start saying racist things about all the black and brown
people that have become Republicans are certainly racist adjacent, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
As soon as it's served them a minute, it serves them,
they will trade their principles for gain the second it
serves them.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, it sounds like from that New York Times line,
I mean, that's the first shot across the bow of
that that I've heard. Dumb black and brown people aren't
paying attention.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
They're the ones that were.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
We're there the weakness us smart people. We know, Joe Biden.
So when you still a god among men, I'm a
white guy in case you don't know that.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So when you know so coming from that point of view,
but when if you're brown or black and you were
voting Democrat, it's you know, you were just making decisions
based on the issues. You're taking a look at the
tax rate and policy. This and that and made a
decision and the Democratic Party was the best choice. If
you vote Republican, though, it's because you you're informed, your low.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Information voter, you weren't paying attention. You don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Yeah, probably fell for misinformation and or disinformation, right, Yeah,
I knew that was going to happen, and it's already happened.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I was working my way toward this email, which I
thought was great from Paolo. Lots of the left is
up in arms about the scotis allowing Trump on the
ballot in Colorado and other states. They're the same folks
that are squealing, we'll lose our democracy if he's elected.
If they succeed in keeping him off the ballot, haven't
we lost it already? They should be asking themselves whether
so afraid he'll be elected if he's as bad a
(25:17):
guy as they say is hint it's because the alternative
they offer his worse. Fix that and there'll be no
need to worry about him, and no need to steal
our democracy to save democracy. Yeah, the idea of yes,
we're going to mount half a dozen highly suspicious court
cases to keep the leading candidate off the ballot because
we love democracy. Good lord, if there's a greater hypocrisy
(25:41):
in American history, point it out to me, please, would you?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I would also like to know one more thing
election wise, who are y'all who are voting for Maryann Williamson?
And is it a joke vote or is there something
about her crazy act that you're digging.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
If it's a joke, I appreciate it. I guess I
appreciate you hanging in there. I guess you do too.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Maryann Williamson, who got out of the race, then surprisingly
did well in Michigan with like four percent and decided
to get back into the race because she had Marianne
momentum or something.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We slam it like nobody's business. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Those Yeah, we're voting in Williamson just because she's like
a terrort card reader, right, or palm reader or something, chiropractor,
one of.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Those things, no comment, some sort of helper of some sort. Yeah, well,
she's she's a hobbyist, so she felt like going fishing. Essentially,
she felt like getting back in the presidential race, giving
a couple of speeches. Whatever, Yeah, you're yourself, Marianne slam.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It, boy, if you could get anybody to throw money
your way, and you're flying around first class and staying
in nice hotels and eating a bunch of meals and
pretending to talk about policy, it'd be kind of fun
for a while.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
We slam it like nobody's business. Edie, I just went
and that's the roseries.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
A lady walked diver and she's standing in front of
me the blueberries and strawberries. And she opened up the
blueberries and started touching them. After she squeezed the blueberries,
she put them back and did it, and so she
grabbed the one she wanted and walked away.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Is that no yuck? She squeezed my blueberries?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
As a beloved blues song by Old Blind Jimmy Differson.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
She squeezed the blueberries. That was I believe.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
A kiwi accent, which means you're awesy.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Okay, France, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I have purchased blueberries where you get them home and
they're all soft in machine.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Nobody wants to eat them.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
No very disppin. But I'm not going to open them
up and squeeze them ahead of time. I just don't
by an eyeball them. You can you can tell how
hard they are by eyeball them pretty effectively.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'm a big blueberry can summer. Which which fruits do
you thump? Thump?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
What are your thumpable throats? A watermelon in a muskmelon.
People hate when I say mul and muskmelon. It's canalobe
for the rest of you, I guess.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I know.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I've long found pineapples to be a bit of a
challenge in avocados.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Avocados I squeeze a little bit. I think you have
to what should they feel like?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
If they're hard, they're not ready, And well, that's fine
if you're going to serve avocados in three days. But
if you're like gonna whip up something tonight, you're gonna make.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
You some guacamole. You can't have rock hard avocados.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
My son prefers the bananas when they're really green, and
I hate that flavor. That's probably my least favorite flavor
on earth is a super green banana.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Black. Hmmm, you've had cow dung kicked into your mouth, right?
I often say that to my kids. This is the
worst thing I've ever tasted, and I've had cow excrement
in my mouth.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Do you say extrementer thir teenagers. Do you drop the
S bomb because the joke's funnier with the S bomb.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, I think I usually say crap, I was at
a restaurant your dad, I get it. So they had
a get together last night at the junior high because
my son is getting out of sixth grade and heading
into junior high. Anyway, So the kids were there and
they're talking about how different junior high is and this
and that. But what got the most tittering among the
(29:32):
children was when they mentioned school dances. So this will
be entering the era of school dances for the first time.
There's a lot of looking around and shuffling over that one.
Some of the kids very excited about it, mostly the girls.
Some of the kids not excited about it at all,
mostly the boys.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Now, obviously you will be obligated to appoint a transgender
bell of the ball, fall, Queen, Homecoming, Queen, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
But we'll work that out.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The dances start in junior high. The first dance I
ever attended EGG was in seventh grade. Man, I don't
know if I've ever been more uncomfortable in my life.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh my god, I just I remember as my kids
transitioned from elementary school to middle school, picking them up
or waiting for them outside or something, and seeing some
of the girls who were rather proud of their how
do I put this and not get arrested? Their their
(30:35):
development is adult females and more than proud enough to
flaunt it, and thinking, what the hell.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Is you in eighth in eighth grade? Wow?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yes, yeah, the whole concept now, granted, in a warm
weather climate, it's different than we grew up in the
Midwest part of it, but some of the like those
shorts are offully short and that top is afully tight.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yep. Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I wasn't even thinking of like a sexual element in
the dances, but I suppose you know at this age, Yeah,
what are you gonna do it? Just in general, though,
why is the transition from grade school to junior high
such a big deal? I'm trying to remember. I my
memory is that that's like when it was like really
out there and in the open, the whole boy girl
relationship thing.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Katie.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yeah, I would think so, because you're I mean, I
don't know, there was something for me. There was something
about the words high school at the end of it.
So you weren't in elementary school. You were in junior
high school, so you were you know, you were one
of the big kids.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, I see, I moved schools right then, so and
junior high was a crazy, uncomfortable and unhappy time for me.
But I thought it was just because I moved schools
left all my friends behind. But it might just be
based on what I was listening to teachers talk about
last night. It's tough for everybody at that age.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Plus especially for females. The differences. Yeah that shape seriously.
That well, at least that change happened for me. In
between elementary school and junior high school. I went away
for summer and came back.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Hey, guys, wow, I'll bet that is something.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Yeah, it's it's because it's uncomfortable, but you want it
to happen, but it's more uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah anything. I guess I've never really thought about it.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
But yeah, at that age, if you're going to show
up to school with a different pair of shoes, you're wondering,
you know, what are people are going to say about it?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Or did you know showing up with a different body?
Holy crap. I was one of three girls that that
happened to that. We showed up after that summer and
it was drastic. Yeah, and did people comment on that,
Oh yeah, non stop. I ay nicknames.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
I was called somebody called me dirty Pillows and that
lasted with me all the way through high school.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh yeah, that's not a good nickname. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'm older, so probably you wouldn't have gotten away with
this as a teacher. But I remember teachers, teachers commenting
on the girls that had showed up back at school
and you know, looking different.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Is that something? Teachers would mention it, commenting, like mentioning,
how like have you seen Katie this year? Yeah, not
the same Katie as last year? Huh whoa? As teachers
would say that, and everybody would be disgusting. It is weird.
It's a different time. I'm gonna needs to call to
catch a predator on those people.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
One of that changes is PE classes, when you start
getting dressed together and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Right, that's one of the things they mentioned that the
PE class, you're gonna start wearing I got pea clothes,
you got shorts and a T shirt, and you're gonna
have to change clothes.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, it'll be a new thing. Or the girls.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
Which girls had to get bras, which ones didn't. Oh,
that was a big conversation, all the girls peaking at
each other.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah weird, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
But so they did announce that there are going to
be dances this year, and some people seemed horrified by it.
Some people seemed excited. I was horrified, you, Katie, as
a girl, seemed like the girls were more excited about it.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
I loved it. Yeah, Oh, the dress, the makeup, the
all of it. Loved it.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Plus, as girls, you can run out there with just
your friends that are also girls in dance and ye
around have a good time.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
It's not well, it's an option for the boys, but
much scarier for the guys.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
The pressures on them too to ask the girl to
the dance and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's n No.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I danced the first time it had an eighth grade dance,
and it's because some girl came and asked me for
the last dance of the night. I can still remember
the song Donna Summer. Last dance. I was sweating bullets.
I mean I was just I was soaked in sweat.
We were actually touching each other because it was a
slow dance and I was just, I mean just my
shirt was wet.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
What do I do? What do I do?
