No On with the infotainment And this week is always
(00:54):
Fat Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
In Marty Gras happening in New Orleans, and I just
saw some Marty Grass revelers down there. Cyber truck had
pulled up on the street and there was a tremendous
amount of booing going on, and I just thought that
was interesting that that is like seen as an I
was gonna say a vehicle, but it's actually a vehicle,
so using it as a here's the sound doing a
(01:20):
cyber truck pulling truck. Oh, the music plays it. It's
in the background. Women are showing their boobs for.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Needs.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yet it's still time to do the leader of DOGE
because you hate cutbacks and spending.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I just don't get it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Wasteful spending, idiotic spending, that's just tribal signaling.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oga booga, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, speaking of that sort of thing. Oh Michael, are
you giving up playing chest for lint? I am, yes,
no more chabulous. So one of the themes that the President
is in his speech last night was getting rid of
a bunch of woke crap and transgender this and that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Which I thought was terrific.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
And we'll play some highlights in I don't know, twenty minutes,
half an hour or something like that, but I thought
a couple of things were very interesting, one more newsy
and one more philosophical.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But first of all, the newsy thing.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
For the last decade, the establishment media have touted advocates
claims as fact that we have roughly fifteen thousand transgender
people serving in the US military. If you're not familiar
with the term, it means a person of one sex
pretending to be the other sex. Wow, and over and
(02:41):
over again, I've heard the fifteen thousand numbers and thought, damn,
that's a lot. I know, believe it, but yeah, I was.
I didn't either, but I had no idea what to think.
But this week President Donald Trump's Pentagon revealed that the
number is about forty two hundred service members, which is
still a hell of a lot, but it's just over
(03:02):
one quarter of what they were claiming. This adds up
to one transgender person for every five hundred service members
in a military of two point one million active in
reserve members. I am surprised that it is that many,
and I'd be curious as to what is going on
psychosocially that would.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That would cause that. I mean, you talk about ridiculous tribalism.
I came across Bill Crystal's tweet last night. Most of
you don't know who he is. He used to be
one of my favorite pundits. He is a hardcore conservative,
like in the classic style. His dad, Irving Crystal founded
I think the Weekly Standard, one of the great writers
(03:46):
of conservatism, and Bill Crystal carried that on and then
Bill Crystal hated.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It, called Berry Goldwater a moderate.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Bill Crystal who used to be on you know, like
meet the Press and face a nation and arguing for
conservatives all these years. He hated Trump so much he
went over with the people that formed the Bulwark, and
they have become a grift machine. And they've just figured
out that if they say bad things about Republicans that
they can make a lot of money. And this is
what Bill Crystal tweeted out last night. Stand with trans Americans.
(04:16):
You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience
to know that Trump's act of humiliation and dehumanization are
unjust and dangerous. You've lost your mind just because he
hasn't lost his mind, he's become so cynical. He just thinks,
you know what, it's all a game. Anyway, screw it.
There are enough of these people out there if I
take this angle, they'll continue to you know, donate money
(04:40):
to us and read our stuff and give us clicks,
and I'll make a look whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, give the converts. Everybody wants to celebrate the converts.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yep, yep, yeah. Wow. That is some cynical crack.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So, speaking of which, those of us who aren't cynical
have looked at the world around us, and and I
think a lot of you probably understand that the hard
core activists in the Woke Thing are neo Marxists, and
the Woke Thing is just an excuse to say, you're
in charge of this institution, but you're a racist, and
(05:10):
I can prove it with my anti racist theories, and
obviously we can't have a racist in charge, so now
I'm in charge. It's a method of conquest. It takes
over institutions, be they you know, schools or government departments
or whatever. We get the hardcore doing that, the people
who want to be nice people and they go along
with it. This is the useful idiots, and they are
(05:33):
legion in their numbers, and often it's young people because
young people are easy to indoctrinate.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
The problem with that term is that Lenin's term, I
think it is.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, John Lennon, no v I Lenin. The problem with
that term is that it's obviously quite insulting. It's not
a good way to explain to someone that they maybe
are being used for a purpose that they do not
agree with.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
If you call them an idiot, right, you make a
good point.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Let's go with useful morons instead useful halfwits. No, it's
it's actually one of the better impulses in humankind, which
is what I'm leading toward.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's long been known that all.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
The intelligence agencies and governments of the world are interested
in influencing people to believe certain things to support certain
programs or certain governments. I mean, that's that's obvious, right, Propaganda,
the Hitler Youth to the malt Se Tongue and his
Red Guard, just all sorts of programs like that.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And a guy who's been studying this his whole life.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
His name is a Jason Christoff, and he did a
presentation recently that was hosted by Senator Ron Johnson speaking
of rock ribbed Conservatives, and he explained how mind control
is easy to execute because human beings are essentially walking psyops.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He said he quote he said me.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Medic programming, which is the process of having someone learn
to imitate patterns and behaviors, is routinely used in Hollywood
films and by powerful corporations and governments.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Mind control works on the subconscious, and the subconscious is
something that loves us and wants.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
To protect us.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And it's in the realm of activity, similar to your
heart beating. So there are things you understand as a
human being that you're not in control of.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Their instinctive.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Your subconscious mind is always looking to establish what the
bigger group of humans is doing, and so it is
responsive to repetitive content. Simply put, people are always looking
to learn what a larger group is doing and fit in,
meaning that repeated messages can be enormously powerful. You know,
obviously we're just talking about conformity here. All sales organizations
(07:48):
know this sure. Quoting again from mister Christoff. The reason
the subconscious does this is because it knows that most
humans like other humans who act, talk and think like
they do, and all the subconscious nuh, and all your
subconscious know that it's safer to bond with a bigger group.
To break this mind control technique down further, your subconscious
automatically absorbs repetitive content and forces people to adopt ideas
(08:13):
as their own.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Your reptile brain is telling.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You you decided this on your own, to go along
with the crowd, because, for whatever reason, that works better
with humans.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's more adaptive.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
As they say in anthropology, that's why, for.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Example, do any of my beliefs come from my own thinking?
Or is this all just because I was surrounded by it?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I think sometimes the best you can do is be
intellectually honest and examine your beliefs and test them now
and again and try the other ideas. But anyway, that's
a great other topic.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What time is it? Yeah, we're good, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
This is why, for example, at a party where there's
a lot of alcohol being served and consumed, people can
feel nervous saying no when offer to drink. Quote, if
you dare say no in opposition of the most repetitive content,
your nervous system will make you feel extremely uneasy and
full of anxiety, and it will also reward you for
going along with it, putting your neurology at peace and calm.
(09:16):
In the feeling of calmness, then wow. So there's more
to peer pressure than.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Meets the eye.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Right exactly, It's not weakness, it's it's anthropologically adaptive. The
problem is, you know, unless you're an alcoholic, you're gonna
be fine having a drink, or unless somebody is trying
to feed your roofy and rape you or something like that.
Usually fine, Bill Cosby's house or oh right, exactly. In short,
but if there is an insidious group bent on evil
(09:50):
utilizing these truths intentionally and aggressively, you get an entire
generation of young people walking around. So saying it's not
wrong to have a man in a woman's sport, even
though he whoops the hell out of the women and
takes all the titles. It's not wrong to have a
man in a women's prison because that man says he's
a woman. They come up with an idea as ludicrous
(10:14):
is that a man who says he's a woman is
actually a woman.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And then certainly things that are easier to go for.
I won't say fall four like hearing about climate change
every class you're ever in your whole life, right.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Christoph actually touched on the COVID nineteen pandemic in the response, said,
media out let's push highly similar similar narratives to quote
unquote control people, influencing them to stay at home. Mind
control is the basis of all advertising, and the governments
have been proven to be using the same group dynamic
application against the public. He pointed to examples such as
the UK's Behavioral Insights Team informally known as the Nudge Unit.
(10:55):
Have you ever heard of this? No, It's a former
government organization now run by a chair which uses behavioral
insights to change people's behavior, for example, by changing messaging
to make people more likely to pay their.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Taxes on time. Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Christoff believes such tactics have been used to drive social
changes for decades, with depictions of large nuclear families on
screen diminishing since the nineteen fifties in favor of less
conventional families with fewer children, among other things. And corporations
use similar strategies.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
But we're running out of time. But you get the idea.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And I've often said, you don't need to do what
the culture is doing because a lot of that is
designed by people who do not have your best interests
in mind.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So maybe the only.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Great takeaway from this is if you find yourself wanting
to conform, understand that that is your animal brain being used,
often by evil people to try to get you to
behave in a certain way.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's really interesting stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Jack Armstrong and Joey The Armstrong and Getty Show, thee
arm Strong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
So my thirteen year old, and it matters what his
age is. Apparently wanted to open a checking account at
the bank or an account at the bank because he's
got enough money built up from allowances and birthdays and Christmases,
and he doesn't spend his money like his brother does.
He saves it because he wants to be able to
put it toward a car someday and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So he's got a decent sized chunk.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Of money added up over the years, and he'd been
keeping it in a shoe box. And so he's going
to open an account. And I remember when I opened
an account when I was probably about his age. I
started mowing lawns when I was twelve thirteen and accumulating
money and opening a bank account.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
On the passage. I remember it myself.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
On the way to the bank, I did say to him,
I said, you know, I haven't I haven't been around
the idea of opening an account for a bank in
four something like that. So I don't know if the
rules have changed, but so in case something happens, but anyway,
we should we get it there sure enough.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And so we're trying to open this account and everything
like that.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
And first of all, many banks everything is I don't
know if it's because the government comes down on them
so hard or something like that. They treat everybody like
you're a want to be terrorist, Like everything.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You do, it's like, jeez, lighten up.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
But anyway, he needs to have two forms of ID
is where we ran into the roadblock. I said, what
is a form of ID for a thirteen year old?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
He said, and they said, well, your Social Security card
is birth certificate? Okay, great, So I said, the fact
that I'm his dad isn't good enough. I can't vouch
for the fact that he's my son and I have
an account here and have had for twenty five years
and open an account for him.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I can't do that, and no, we need to. And
I said, is that a bank policy or the state
law or what is that? Because I was thinking, if
it's a bank policy, I'll go to a different bank.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
But uh, it's a federal law. It's part of the
Patriot Act. I said, oh, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
And he said, well, it's a federal I said, you
don't need to explain the federal government to me.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
And I hate the federal government, I said.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And then the guy looked at me like I was Oh.
He got wide eyed, like, oh, you're one of those people.
You're Timothy McVeigh, you're you're you're one of those people.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, clearly I've heard about them.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I said, I hate the federal government. The Patriot Act's ridiculous.
This is ridiculous. The fact that I can't open a
bank account for a thirteen year old, and as his parent,
I got I gotta prove who he is because you
can't take my word for the fact that he's my child.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Makes me child, say money laundering, little mule for your militia,
whatever you want to call him. The Patriot Act was
so much I was trying to explain it to her.
He was so much crap that they jammed through. It's
all because of nine to eleven. So you're gonna stop
the next nine to eleven by making sure thirteen year
olds don't open illegal bank accounts. I guess whatever, even
(14:58):
though their parent, who you know, is sitting right there.
I hate stuff like that, and the and the but
they were there. Their eyes got so wide when I
hate the said I hate the federal government.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And I was thinking, if I was doing this same
thing in my in my where I went to college
in Hayes, Kansas, and I said I hate the federal government,
the teller would have said, yeah, me too, don't.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You high five job.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Came end of that, brother, But that just being oh
my god, you shouldn't she said, oh she even she
gasped the woman gasped, and her boss just looked at
me white.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'd like, oh, were we about to have a fight.
Oh man, you have to have two pieces of id
even though he's my kid. I just found that amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
All right, here's here's the guy who retweets my quotes.
Get ready to jot this one down and get it right?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Anytime the government says there's an emergency, there are two emergencies.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, but actually exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
And I actually told my son because he was one
or he was really like, is that something you can't
say out loud?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I said, I told him.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
The most revered Republican president of the last maybe century,
Ronald Reagan, ran on the scariest words in the English
language are I'm here from the I'm from the government,
and I'm here to help you.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, he ran on, I hate the government. Or
I just saw a clip this morning. The government isn't
the solution. Government is the problem.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
And the woman who was typing furiously after I said that,
because she was so horrified that anybody would say that,
I said, you know, all the money in my account
I made that by going on the radio every day
and saying I hate the government I make my living.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
By the way, if the Justice Department is listening, or
the FDIC, right, the CIA, the NSA, if I'm happy
to testify against this monster.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I'm sure I'm on some sort of terrorist watch list now, yes, Michael.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
So wonder they didn't hit the silent alarm on you
and then you know, cops show up or something.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I would have been.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I would have loved to talk to people and explain
why it's okay for me to say I hate the government.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, no, no, We've got to surveill him for a
while and go through his mail and monitor his phone calls.
We've got the NSA working on it already. What I
hate is the manager guy acting like it makes sense
that we have a law that I can't vouch for
my kid being my kid.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
That just seems perfectly reasonable to me. Two forms of
ID for a child right when their parents is there.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
How about he says his name, then I say his name?
Is that two forms of ID? And if not, what
the hell has the world?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Because I know am Strong.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
But right now it's time for a gender bending madness updates.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh no, I kept hearing about this thing called the loco.
We're a brave genm. We call it around here gender
bending madness. Can we start with the positive or the negative.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Let's start with negative and then we'll move through positive,
then go to neutral and back to negative again.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Everybody ready, right?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, So let's start with the fact that the Trevor Project,
which is an organization dedicated quote to advocacy, education, and
crisis support for LGBTQ plus minus over the Power three
young people, has partnered with a bunch of major corporations
to get gigantic donations. What does the Trevor Project do.
I'm sure they do some stuff that's just fine. It
(18:43):
includes counseling sessions, a crisis hotline, LGBTQ plus minus over
the Power three, training for cultural competency, and Trevor Space,
an online community where adults communicate with miners about sexual
fetishes like bondage and medicalized gender related interventions. To its
own website, Trevor Space remains active has over four hundred
(19:03):
thousand users from the ages of thirteen through twenty four,
one hundred thousand. Wyss Macy's major donor. Just going to
scroll through these Abercrombie and Fetch Padco, Big Trevor Project
sponsor I Buy Direct.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yes, they jumped on this couple of years ago when
they thought they had to.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Right, I guess, but they're still doing it through this year.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Huge donations knock around a sunglasses company, conscious Step, a
sock company, if jewelry company, Pua Vita, guest watches and more.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
If this raises in people's consciousness, a lot of those
companies will back out and say we no longer believe
in weighing on political issues.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah. Well, maybe that'd be a good thing. So yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And when the United States Department of Health and Human
Services put out a report that joined Great Britain and
the Netherlands and France and virtually all of Europe in
saying that the quality of research on so called gender
affirming care for minors is very, very low. There is
nothing to support that intervening when children are momentarily confused
(20:13):
is a good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
There's nothing to support that.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Well, the treasurer the Trevor Project condemned that report as
dangerous misinformation. Transgender status is an immutable trait like eye
color or height, and using language that suggests otherwise perpetuates
falsehoods and stereotypes, says the good.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Folks at the Trevor Project.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, speaking of transgenderism, this is our man of
the Year, the gender bending Madness Man of the Year,
Daviana formerly David clip thirty. Michael, think you might be
interested in what this bloke has to say.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I am a forty seven year old biological man. I
am been on hormones for a year, a little over year.
I just had my moves done. I've had one facial surgery.
I am not going to have bottom surgery. I'm going
to do one more face surgery on the bottom of
my chin. I am transitioning to look as much like
a female.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
As I can.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
That's the way I've wanted to be my whole life.
I understand that I cannot ever be a biological female.
For those of you people that cannot define what a
female is, realize that you're part of the problem. Okay,
a female is someone who was born a female with
X chromosomes and can have babies and so on and
so forth. So the idiots out there that say that
(21:29):
some men can have babies because they're transmit well that's
because they're a biological women.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So let's stop all the nonsense and stop all the bullshit.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Wow, so that's a guy who's on our side a
lot of that stuff, but yet getting facial reconstruction surgery.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And boob jobs and the rest of it. Yeah, he
wants to look like a woman. What an nswer to
which you know is you're right?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I guess I think you're tell you brother, I think
when you start operating on your jawline to get a
different shape, you're into mental health territory.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
But I would agree, But at least he knows what
a woman is. Yeah, yeah, anything. People are crazy who
think that women men can have babies.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Speaking of crazy, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
In the formerly sane, hardworking city of Chicago, madness has
taken root.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Garretini of Fox News, reporting thirty.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Drag story time for kids two to five years old,
drew a crowd of more than one hundred supporters today
outside of Chicago Public Library branch on the city's north side,
drowning out a handful of protesters calling for the event
to be canceled.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
They have an issue because they have men and women's clothing.
I've known drag queens for a long time. They teach
kids more about life than some of these right wingers do.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Wow, they teach kids more about life than some of
these right wingers do. Wow, that's a powerful argument.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Well that's from a person who probably because this crowd
them around.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Some of these people, they're.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So obsessed with sex and gender stuff that is life
to them.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So they are right.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
If you define life as never doing anything else but
discussing sex and gender and sexual activity, then yes, you
do teach kids more about life than right wingers do.
We're kind of bigger on like math and reading and
learning a skill and morality and don't steal and be
nice to people stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
And knowing which sex has babies.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Next clip Beyond Today's drag Story Times Chicago Public libraries
Pride Month events includes intergenerational queer art making events with
identity affirming stations, and story time with the controversial group
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence that features queer men wearing heavy
makeup dressed as nuns.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Everyone.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Protesters say these kind of events, supported with taxpayer dollars,
are just wrong, and drag.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Is just inappropriate and doesn't because it's bad.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Moth does not give you the permission to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Interestingly, all of the protesters featured on the special report
report were black folks.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Wow, that is interesting.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, the black community, the spanning community, they don't dig
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So where was it?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I know it was happening in Chicago, but that was
that attached to a school or a library.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Public library at the Chicago Public Library.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
So that's where the federal tax or the tax money
comes in, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You remember that brainiac with his argument about the drag
Queen's teach kids more about life.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
See how you like this bit of logic.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
The library is defending its Pride Month events, telling a
local outlet, the library represents the entire city, including the
LGBTQ community and transactivists say, anyone who has a problem
with these kinds of events doesn't have to show up.
This is about freedom to parent how you want.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
So it's not about the that you see at adult shows.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
This is somebody in a ball gown sitting down reading
stories to cast.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
All right, So what I wanted to get to is
the part about if you don't like it, don't show up.
So if I don't know the Klan, we're indoctrinating kids
into a perverse ideology. At the local library. Hey, if
you don't like it, don't show up. You don't need
to go that far.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
With an example, how about if you had people who
just believed marriages between a man and a woman, they're
gonna have a big event.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
You're gonna allow that at the library. I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The truth of God is revealed in the Bible, right,
we're gonna teach kids that at the library.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
If you don't like it, don't show up.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
No, you would go aps you, you lying crazed simpletons.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Finally, this which is named the Crazed Simpletons.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh please, we're gonna rehearse tonight for the first time
my living room. This is We mentioned this yesterday. It
is so weird and disappointing. Griff Jenkins here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
It was vemous because I think venom is all. The
other side really.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
Has an Olympic sized feuds barked by seven times gold
medalists Simone Biles busting US swimmer Riley Gaines for calling
foul on a Minnesota high school women's softball team winning
a state title with a biological male pitcher. You're truly
sick all of this campaigning because you lost a race.
Biles wrote, adding straight up sore loser, you should be
(26:21):
uplifting the trans community, even appearing to body shame Gains
in another post, telling her to bully someone your own size,
which would ironically be a male.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, we read those yesterdays.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
I can't believe Simone Biles said that somebody who's competed
at the highest level of athletics to say you're just
mad because you lost it is really surprising to me.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, and the idea that, yeah, a male ballplayer dominated
the girls and that's cool with you, Riley or I'm sorry, Simone.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Hey, Katie, you're an athlete. Did you play softball?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I did not. You did not. I played basketball.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Do you think if a dude was playing on a
they ever played co ed basketball?
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah, we had to scrimmage the boys and there were
a lot of injuries there.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
And did you notice any advantages the boys had over
the girls in terms of speed or height or strength?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
A couple, Yeah, all of them.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Roland Michael Gaines fired back, resurfacing a twenty seventeen Biles
tweet that read, good thing, guys don't compete against girls,
or he'd take all the gold medals, and she questioned Biles'
potential success had she been forced to compete with biological myth.
If Simone's inclusive dream came true, she would have zero
(27:42):
Olympic medals.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, Simone Biles literally tweeted of a male gymnast who
is doing amazing things.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Good, good thing.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
They don't compete against us because they're way bigger and stronger.
And she's this is a great because she's a fairly
bright person.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
From what I've seen.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
This is a next bookcase of ideology blinding someone to reality.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
And I'm sure she's immersed in people who think the
same way, so she assumes that she's on the popular
side of this. You're not right, And I liked Riley
Gaines blast about Okay, do the rings?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Then? Why is that just a male sport? The rings?
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Why is that not the girls? Because it takes incredible
upper body strength.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
And the final clip, which is great, but I need
to apologize in advance. There is something shocking here, something
people will not want to hear. And that's the name
Tim Walls again for some reason, just when you thought
he'd gone away for good.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
The War of Words follows a lawsuit filed in Minnesota
on behalf of three female softball players, calling the transgender
pitcher a violation of Title nine. The White House weighing
in saying President Trump is protecting women in sports and
restoring common sense. Of Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is defending
(29:02):
politicians who stand with transgender athletes.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Shame on any of us who throws a chance child
under the bus for thinking.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
They're going to.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Shame for throwing a trans child under the bus. Now,
they can be on the bus or next to the bus,
or in front of the bus or behind the bus.
They just can't be on a sports field competing against
girls because they're dudes.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Tim, You moron. Oh is that crowd that cheered like that? Yeah?
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
The one thing that's become that's so reassuring though to
me now is all of the polls that have been
done show this is an eighty twenty issue, right, And
so I hear that cheering and think it wow. I mean, granted,
that's a very blue pocket of America, but you found
yourself some real out there radical believers who cheer that garbage.
(29:56):
Tell you what it's folks, it's gender bending madness.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Armstrong, Hetty, the armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
How this.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
Stuff?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Anyway, back to Kate, this is this is just a
silly story that I had actually forgotten about until this
conversation came up. One of my top favorite bosses of
all time. And I think you know him, Paul Hawsley.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, what a good dude. I love him.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
So I get off the air in San Francisco and
he comes into the into the studio and he goes, hey, Katie,
I need to talk to you in my office for
a second. And he is stone serious, and I'm thinking,
oh boy, what did I say, What did I do?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Whatever?
Speaker 7 (30:48):
So I go into his office and he sits me
down and he goes, so, what is going on with
your car? What exactly My reaction, I'm like, what what
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You get out of your car like a dude, and
it's just weird. Yes, it's off.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Yeah that was it. And he goes, you're the pictures
on your car? And I'm like, the pictures on my car?
The only thing I have on my car is a
Blink one eighty two sticker on my window. And he goes, okay,
let's let's go to the garage.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
So and the license plate.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Yeah, so we walked down to the garage and we
go to the back of my car, which is parked
right next to the elevator, and at this time it
shows so this is like ten thirty in the morning, okay,
all over the back of my car, below the windshield
or below the windshield so I couldn't see it, are
triple X porn photos ripped out.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Of the magazine.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
Oh like like oh taped on their taped to the
back of my car like and is and we know
what sex is play, I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Oh, boy bleeps at hand.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
So yep, it went all the way up to just
about as triple X as you can get. And I mortified.
I'm I looked a him on like Paul I have.
Keep in mind, my drive to San Francisco was about
thirty five minutes, So I drove from home over the
bridge into San Francisco with this.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
On the back of my car. Oh okay.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
So I go into my text messages because I hadn't
checked him. People used to text message me at ungodly hours,
and I see a text from one of my friends
that says, hope you have a good work morning. And
I knew I from this the second I saw it.
And went this, dick, it was him. He came up
and walked to my house and he taped these things
to the back of my car. So Paul and I
had a little bit of a laugh about it. We
(32:48):
go back up into his office and Paul goes, hey,
let's call your friend.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I'm like, okay, So I call him. I call him
and I start, you know, fake crying.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
I'm like, Ryan, dude, my boss, really, my.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Boss would like to talk to you.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Oh my god, this is this is the appropriate vengeance,
This isomfortable, this is justice.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
So Paul has him on speaker phone and he goes, Hi, Ryan,
this is this is Katie's program director here in San Francisco,
and I just wanted to discuss the images that you
put on the back of her car. We actually have
security from the building here as well. And you could
hear Ryan going oh no, no, no, and then Paul start
busting up laughing. But anyway, that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
The reason this story came up is because we were
talking about the weirdest reasons we've ever been called into
our boss's office, and my brain went, oh my god,
that happened.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Oh that is that is a good way to get
back at somebody though.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's good.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
God, Oh it was mortifying anyway.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
If you are doing this job and you get called
into the boss's office and you're not fast forwarding through
everything you said in your head, you're not doing the
job right.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Right, It's a it was a short walk to Paul's office.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
But I'm going, Okay, what did I I did this
news story a comment.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I'm like, I had no idea at all, wed go ahead.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I was just going to say, we've like had serious
stressful issues with people, completely freaked out and pissed off
some of them performatively about things we've said. And I'd
say two of the three I never saw coming.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
No, I was gonna say, every time I've gotten in
trouble for saying something, it's like something I didn't even remember.
I say edgy things sometimes and they go, oh boy,
that might get me in trouble. That's not the one.
It's the thing I didn't even think of for some
reason that it usually ends up with the TV cameras
outside the radio station.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
And then there is I need to come up with
a name for it. It's like my white whale. It's
the one thing I said once that I thought, that's it.
I've ended my career. I shouldn't have said that. Whoops,
And I was. I was. I was virtually certain it
would be devastating, and nothing ever came of it. And
(35:01):
you can ply me with booze. You can put me
on the rack, give my boy, you can, or a
handy or the other thing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, the other thing might get me. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Try it, but I gotta go to church. I need
to get to go to church and have my ears
washed out. And I will never admit it. I will
never repeat it. It will not be repeated.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Had one time we angered the Asians, and every TV
station sent their Asian girl reporter to the radio station to.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
And that was the funny part of it. And we've
seen that sort of thing. If you say something insensitive
about like affirmative action for black people or something like that,
all of a sudden you find out every station in
town happens to have a black reporter too. Wow, when
they're reporting on this story, it's hilarious once you become
aware of it.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
It's it's like one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Italian Americans are angered at the cancelation.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Of the parade. We go to Luigi Praconi for a report,
Come on

(00:54):
Fat Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
In Marty Gras happening in New Orleans, and I just
saw some Marty Grass revelers down there. Cyber truck had
pulled up on the street and there was a tremendous
amount of booing going on, and I just thought that
was interesting that that is like seen as an I
was gonna say a vehicle, but it's actually a vehicle,
so using it as a here's the sound doing a
(01:20):
cyber truck pulling truck. Oh, the music plays it. It's
in the background. Women are showing their boobs for.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Needs.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yet it's still time to do the leader of DOGE
because you hate cutbacks and spending.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I just don't get it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Wasteful spending, idiotic spending, that's just tribal signaling.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oga booga, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, speaking of that sort of thing. Oh Michael, are
you giving up playing chest for lint? I am, yes,
no more chabulous. So one of the themes that the President
is in his speech last night was getting rid of
a bunch of woke crap and transgender this and that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Which I thought was terrific.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
And we'll play some highlights in I don't know, twenty minutes,
half an hour or something like that, but I thought
a couple of things were very interesting, one more newsy
and one more philosophical.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But first of all, the newsy thing.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
For the last decade, the establishment media have touted advocates
claims as fact that we have roughly fifteen thousand transgender
people serving in the US military. If you're not familiar
with the term, it means a person of one sex
pretending to be the other sex. Wow, and over and
(02:41):
over again, I've heard the fifteen thousand numbers and thought, damn,
that's a lot. I know, believe it, but yeah, I was.
I didn't either, but I had no idea what to think.
But this week President Donald Trump's Pentagon revealed that the
number is about forty two hundred service members, which is
still a hell of a lot, but it's just over
(03:02):
one quarter of what they were claiming. This adds up
to one transgender person for every five hundred service members
in a military of two point one million active in
reserve members. I am surprised that it is that many,
and I'd be curious as to what is going on
psychosocially that would.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That would cause that. I mean, you talk about ridiculous tribalism.
I came across Bill Crystal's tweet last night. Most of
you don't know who he is. He used to be
one of my favorite pundits. He is a hardcore conservative,
like in the classic style. His dad, Irving Crystal founded
I think the Weekly Standard, one of the great writers
(03:46):
of conservatism, and Bill Crystal carried that on and then
Bill Crystal hated.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It, called Berry Goldwater a moderate.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Bill Crystal who used to be on you know, like
meet the Press and face a nation and arguing for
conservatives all these years. He hated Trump so much he
went over with the people that formed the Bulwark, and
they have become a grift machine. And they've just figured
out that if they say bad things about Republicans that
they can make a lot of money. And this is
what Bill Crystal tweeted out last night. Stand with trans Americans.
(04:16):
You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience
to know that Trump's act of humiliation and dehumanization are
unjust and dangerous. You've lost your mind just because he
hasn't lost his mind, he's become so cynical. He just thinks,
you know what, it's all a game. Anyway, screw it.
There are enough of these people out there if I
take this angle, they'll continue to you know, donate money
(04:40):
to us and read our stuff and give us clicks,
and I'll make a look whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, give the converts. Everybody wants to celebrate the converts.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yep, yep, yeah. Wow. That is some cynical crack.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So, speaking of which, those of us who aren't cynical
have looked at the world around us, and and I
think a lot of you probably understand that the hard
core activists in the Woke Thing are neo Marxists, and
the Woke Thing is just an excuse to say, you're
in charge of this institution, but you're a racist, and
(05:10):
I can prove it with my anti racist theories, and
obviously we can't have a racist in charge, so now
I'm in charge. It's a method of conquest. It takes
over institutions, be they you know, schools or government departments
or whatever. We get the hardcore doing that, the people
who want to be nice people and they go along
with it. This is the useful idiots, and they are
(05:33):
legion in their numbers, and often it's young people because
young people are easy to indoctrinate.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
The problem with that term is that Lenin's term, I
think it is.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, John Lennon, no v I Lenin. The problem with
that term is that it's obviously quite insulting. It's not
a good way to explain to someone that they maybe
are being used for a purpose that they do not
agree with.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
If you call them an idiot, right, you make a
good point.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Let's go with useful morons instead useful halfwits. No, it's
it's actually one of the better impulses in humankind, which
is what I'm leading toward.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's long been known that all.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
The intelligence agencies and governments of the world are interested
in influencing people to believe certain things to support certain
programs or certain governments. I mean, that's that's obvious, right, Propaganda,
the Hitler Youth to the malt Se Tongue and his
Red Guard, just all sorts of programs like that.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And a guy who's been studying this his whole life.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
His name is a Jason Christoff, and he did a
presentation recently that was hosted by Senator Ron Johnson speaking
of rock ribbed Conservatives, and he explained how mind control
is easy to execute because human beings are essentially walking psyops.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He said he quote he said me.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Medic programming, which is the process of having someone learn
to imitate patterns and behaviors, is routinely used in Hollywood
films and by powerful corporations and governments.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Mind control works on the subconscious, and the subconscious is
something that loves us and wants.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
To protect us.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And it's in the realm of activity, similar to your
heart beating. So there are things you understand as a
human being that you're not in control of.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Their instinctive.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Your subconscious mind is always looking to establish what the
bigger group of humans is doing, and so it is
responsive to repetitive content. Simply put, people are always looking
to learn what a larger group is doing and fit in,
meaning that repeated messages can be enormously powerful. You know,
obviously we're just talking about conformity here. All sales organizations
(07:48):
know this sure. Quoting again from mister Christoff. The reason
the subconscious does this is because it knows that most
humans like other humans who act, talk and think like
they do, and all the subconscious nuh, and all your
subconscious know that it's safer to bond with a bigger group.
To break this mind control technique down further, your subconscious
automatically absorbs repetitive content and forces people to adopt ideas
(08:13):
as their own.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Your reptile brain is telling.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You you decided this on your own, to go along
with the crowd, because, for whatever reason, that works better
with humans.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's more adaptive.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
As they say in anthropology, that's why, for.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Example, do any of my beliefs come from my own thinking?
Or is this all just because I was surrounded by it?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I think sometimes the best you can do is be
intellectually honest and examine your beliefs and test them now
and again and try the other ideas. But anyway, that's
a great other topic.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What time is it? Yeah, we're good, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
This is why, for example, at a party where there's
a lot of alcohol being served and consumed, people can
feel nervous saying no when offer to drink. Quote, if
you dare say no in opposition of the most repetitive content,
your nervous system will make you feel extremely uneasy and
full of anxiety, and it will also reward you for
going along with it, putting your neurology at peace and calm.
(09:16):
In the feeling of calmness, then wow. So there's more
to peer pressure than.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Meets the eye.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Right exactly, It's not weakness, it's it's anthropologically adaptive. The
problem is, you know, unless you're an alcoholic, you're gonna
be fine having a drink, or unless somebody is trying
to feed your roofy and rape you or something like that.
Usually fine, Bill Cosby's house or oh right, exactly. In short,
but if there is an insidious group bent on evil
(09:50):
utilizing these truths intentionally and aggressively, you get an entire
generation of young people walking around. So saying it's not
wrong to have a man in a woman's sport, even
though he whoops the hell out of the women and
takes all the titles. It's not wrong to have a
man in a women's prison because that man says he's
a woman. They come up with an idea as ludicrous
(10:14):
is that a man who says he's a woman is
actually a woman.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And then certainly things that are easier to go for.
I won't say fall four like hearing about climate change
every class you're ever in your whole life, right.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Christoph actually touched on the COVID nineteen pandemic in the response, said,
media out let's push highly similar similar narratives to quote
unquote control people, influencing them to stay at home. Mind
control is the basis of all advertising, and the governments
have been proven to be using the same group dynamic
application against the public. He pointed to examples such as
the UK's Behavioral Insights Team informally known as the Nudge Unit.
(10:55):
Have you ever heard of this? No, It's a former
government organization now run by a chair which uses behavioral
insights to change people's behavior, for example, by changing messaging
to make people more likely to pay their.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Taxes on time. Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Christoff believes such tactics have been used to drive social
changes for decades, with depictions of large nuclear families on
screen diminishing since the nineteen fifties in favor of less
conventional families with fewer children, among other things. And corporations
use similar strategies.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
But we're running out of time. But you get the idea.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And I've often said, you don't need to do what
the culture is doing because a lot of that is
designed by people who do not have your best interests
in mind.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So maybe the only.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Great takeaway from this is if you find yourself wanting
to conform, understand that that is your animal brain being used,
often by evil people to try to get you to
behave in a certain way.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's really interesting stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Jack Armstrong and Joey The Armstrong and Getty Show, thee
arm Strong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
So my thirteen year old, and it matters what his
age is. Apparently wanted to open a checking account at
the bank or an account at the bank because he's
got enough money built up from allowances and birthdays and Christmases,
and he doesn't spend his money like his brother does.
He saves it because he wants to be able to
put it toward a car someday and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So he's got a decent sized chunk.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Of money added up over the years, and he'd been
keeping it in a shoe box. And so he's going
to open an account. And I remember when I opened
an account when I was probably about his age. I
started mowing lawns when I was twelve thirteen and accumulating
money and opening a bank account.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
On the passage. I remember it myself.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
On the way to the bank, I did say to him,
I said, you know, I haven't I haven't been around
the idea of opening an account for a bank in
four something like that. So I don't know if the
rules have changed, but so in case something happens, but anyway,
we should we get it there sure enough.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And so we're trying to open this account and everything
like that.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
And first of all, many banks everything is I don't
know if it's because the government comes down on them
so hard or something like that. They treat everybody like
you're a want to be terrorist, Like everything.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You do, it's like, jeez, lighten up.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
But anyway, he needs to have two forms of ID
is where we ran into the roadblock. I said, what
is a form of ID for a thirteen year old?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
He said, and they said, well, your Social Security card
is birth certificate? Okay, great, So I said, the fact
that I'm his dad isn't good enough. I can't vouch
for the fact that he's my son and I have
an account here and have had for twenty five years
and open an account for him.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I can't do that, and no, we need to. And
I said, is that a bank policy or the state
law or what is that? Because I was thinking, if
it's a bank policy, I'll go to a different bank.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
But uh, it's a federal law. It's part of the
Patriot Act. I said, oh, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
And he said, well, it's a federal I said, you
don't need to explain the federal government to me.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
And I hate the federal government, I said.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And then the guy looked at me like I was Oh.
He got wide eyed, like, oh, you're one of those people.
You're Timothy McVeigh, you're you're you're one of those people.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, clearly I've heard about them.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I said, I hate the federal government. The Patriot Act's ridiculous.
This is ridiculous. The fact that I can't open a
bank account for a thirteen year old, and as his parent,
I got I gotta prove who he is because you
can't take my word for the fact that he's my child.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Makes me child, say money laundering, little mule for your militia,
whatever you want to call him. The Patriot Act was
so much I was trying to explain it to her.
He was so much crap that they jammed through. It's
all because of nine to eleven. So you're gonna stop
the next nine to eleven by making sure thirteen year
olds don't open illegal bank accounts. I guess whatever, even
(14:58):
though their parent, who you know, is sitting right there.
I hate stuff like that, and the and the but
they were there. Their eyes got so wide when I
hate the said I hate the federal government.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And I was thinking, if I was doing this same
thing in my in my where I went to college
in Hayes, Kansas, and I said I hate the federal government,
the teller would have said, yeah, me too, don't.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You high five job.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Came end of that, brother, But that just being oh
my god, you shouldn't she said, oh she even she
gasped the woman gasped, and her boss just looked at
me white.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'd like, oh, were we about to have a fight.
Oh man, you have to have two pieces of id
even though he's my kid. I just found that amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
All right, here's here's the guy who retweets my quotes.
Get ready to jot this one down and get it right?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Anytime the government says there's an emergency, there are two emergencies.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, but actually exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
And I actually told my son because he was one
or he was really like, is that something you can't
say out loud?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I said, I told him.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
The most revered Republican president of the last maybe century,
Ronald Reagan, ran on the scariest words in the English
language are I'm here from the I'm from the government,
and I'm here to help you.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, he ran on, I hate the government. Or
I just saw a clip this morning. The government isn't
the solution. Government is the problem.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
And the woman who was typing furiously after I said that,
because she was so horrified that anybody would say that,
I said, you know, all the money in my account
I made that by going on the radio every day
and saying I hate the government I make my living.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
By the way, if the Justice Department is listening, or
the FDIC, right, the CIA, the NSA, if I'm happy
to testify against this monster.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I'm sure I'm on some sort of terrorist watch list now, yes, Michael.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
So wonder they didn't hit the silent alarm on you
and then you know, cops show up or something.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I would have been.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I would have loved to talk to people and explain
why it's okay for me to say I hate the government.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, no, no, We've got to surveill him for a
while and go through his mail and monitor his phone calls.
We've got the NSA working on it already. What I
hate is the manager guy acting like it makes sense
that we have a law that I can't vouch for
my kid being my kid.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
That just seems perfectly reasonable to me. Two forms of
ID for a child right when their parents is there.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
How about he says his name, then I say his name?
Is that two forms of ID? And if not, what
the hell has the world?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Because I know am Strong.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
But right now it's time for a gender bending madness updates.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh no, I kept hearing about this thing called the loco.
We're a brave genm. We call it around here gender
bending madness. Can we start with the positive or the negative.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Let's start with negative and then we'll move through positive,
then go to neutral and back to negative again.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Everybody ready, right?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, So let's start with the fact that the Trevor Project,
which is an organization dedicated quote to advocacy, education, and
crisis support for LGBTQ plus minus over the Power three
young people, has partnered with a bunch of major corporations
to get gigantic donations. What does the Trevor Project do.
I'm sure they do some stuff that's just fine. It
(18:43):
includes counseling sessions, a crisis hotline, LGBTQ plus minus over
the Power three, training for cultural competency, and Trevor Space,
an online community where adults communicate with miners about sexual
fetishes like bondage and medicalized gender related interventions. To its
own website, Trevor Space remains active has over four hundred
(19:03):
thousand users from the ages of thirteen through twenty four,
one hundred thousand. Wyss Macy's major donor. Just going to
scroll through these Abercrombie and Fetch Padco, Big Trevor Project
sponsor I Buy Direct.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yes, they jumped on this couple of years ago when
they thought they had to.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Right, I guess, but they're still doing it through this year.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Huge donations knock around a sunglasses company, conscious Step, a
sock company, if jewelry company, Pua Vita, guest watches and more.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
If this raises in people's consciousness, a lot of those
companies will back out and say we no longer believe
in weighing on political issues.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah. Well, maybe that'd be a good thing. So yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And when the United States Department of Health and Human
Services put out a report that joined Great Britain and
the Netherlands and France and virtually all of Europe in
saying that the quality of research on so called gender
affirming care for minors is very, very low. There is
nothing to support that intervening when children are momentarily confused
(20:13):
is a good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
There's nothing to support that.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Well, the treasurer the Trevor Project condemned that report as
dangerous misinformation. Transgender status is an immutable trait like eye
color or height, and using language that suggests otherwise perpetuates
falsehoods and stereotypes, says the good.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Folks at the Trevor Project.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, speaking of transgenderism, this is our man of
the Year, the gender bending Madness Man of the Year,
Daviana formerly David clip thirty. Michael, think you might be
interested in what this bloke has to say.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I am a forty seven year old biological man. I
am been on hormones for a year, a little over year.
I just had my moves done. I've had one facial surgery.
I am not going to have bottom surgery. I'm going
to do one more face surgery on the bottom of
my chin. I am transitioning to look as much like
a female.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
As I can.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
That's the way I've wanted to be my whole life.
I understand that I cannot ever be a biological female.
For those of you people that cannot define what a
female is, realize that you're part of the problem. Okay,
a female is someone who was born a female with
X chromosomes and can have babies and so on and
so forth. So the idiots out there that say that
(21:29):
some men can have babies because they're transmit well that's
because they're a biological women.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So let's stop all the nonsense and stop all the bullshit.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Wow, so that's a guy who's on our side a
lot of that stuff, but yet getting facial reconstruction surgery.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And boob jobs and the rest of it. Yeah, he
wants to look like a woman. What an nswer to
which you know is you're right?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I guess I think you're tell you brother, I think
when you start operating on your jawline to get a
different shape, you're into mental health territory.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
But I would agree, But at least he knows what
a woman is. Yeah, yeah, anything. People are crazy who
think that women men can have babies.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Speaking of crazy, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
In the formerly sane, hardworking city of Chicago, madness has
taken root.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Garretini of Fox News, reporting thirty.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Drag story time for kids two to five years old,
drew a crowd of more than one hundred supporters today
outside of Chicago Public Library branch on the city's north side,
drowning out a handful of protesters calling for the event
to be canceled.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
They have an issue because they have men and women's clothing.
I've known drag queens for a long time. They teach
kids more about life than some of these right wingers do.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Wow, they teach kids more about life than some of
these right wingers do. Wow, that's a powerful argument.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Well that's from a person who probably because this crowd
them around.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Some of these people, they're.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So obsessed with sex and gender stuff that is life
to them.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So they are right.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
If you define life as never doing anything else but
discussing sex and gender and sexual activity, then yes, you
do teach kids more about life than right wingers do.
We're kind of bigger on like math and reading and
learning a skill and morality and don't steal and be
nice to people stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
And knowing which sex has babies.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Next clip Beyond Today's drag Story Times Chicago Public libraries
Pride Month events includes intergenerational queer art making events with
identity affirming stations, and story time with the controversial group
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence that features queer men wearing heavy
makeup dressed as nuns.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Everyone.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Protesters say these kind of events, supported with taxpayer dollars,
are just wrong, and drag.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Is just inappropriate and doesn't because it's bad.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Moth does not give you the permission to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Interestingly, all of the protesters featured on the special report
report were black folks.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Wow, that is interesting.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, the black community, the spanning community, they don't dig
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So where was it?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I know it was happening in Chicago, but that was
that attached to a school or a library.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Public library at the Chicago Public Library.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
So that's where the federal tax or the tax money
comes in, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You remember that brainiac with his argument about the drag
Queen's teach kids more about life.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
See how you like this bit of logic.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
The library is defending its Pride Month events, telling a
local outlet, the library represents the entire city, including the
LGBTQ community and transactivists say, anyone who has a problem
with these kinds of events doesn't have to show up.
This is about freedom to parent how you want.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
So it's not about the that you see at adult shows.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
This is somebody in a ball gown sitting down reading
stories to cast.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
All right, So what I wanted to get to is
the part about if you don't like it, don't show up.
So if I don't know the Klan, we're indoctrinating kids
into a perverse ideology. At the local library. Hey, if
you don't like it, don't show up. You don't need
to go that far.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
With an example, how about if you had people who
just believed marriages between a man and a woman, they're
gonna have a big event.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
You're gonna allow that at the library. I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The truth of God is revealed in the Bible, right,
we're gonna teach kids that at the library.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
If you don't like it, don't show up.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
No, you would go aps you, you lying crazed simpletons.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Finally, this which is named the Crazed Simpletons.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh please, we're gonna rehearse tonight for the first time
my living room. This is We mentioned this yesterday. It
is so weird and disappointing. Griff Jenkins here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
It was vemous because I think venom is all. The
other side really.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
Has an Olympic sized feuds barked by seven times gold
medalists Simone Biles busting US swimmer Riley Gaines for calling
foul on a Minnesota high school women's softball team winning
a state title with a biological male pitcher. You're truly
sick all of this campaigning because you lost a race.
Biles wrote, adding straight up sore loser, you should be
(26:21):
uplifting the trans community, even appearing to body shame Gains
in another post, telling her to bully someone your own size,
which would ironically be a male.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, we read those yesterdays.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
I can't believe Simone Biles said that somebody who's competed
at the highest level of athletics to say you're just
mad because you lost it is really surprising to me.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, and the idea that, yeah, a male ballplayer dominated
the girls and that's cool with you, Riley or I'm sorry, Simone.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Hey, Katie, you're an athlete. Did you play softball?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I did not. You did not. I played basketball.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Do you think if a dude was playing on a
they ever played co ed basketball?
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah, we had to scrimmage the boys and there were
a lot of injuries there.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
And did you notice any advantages the boys had over
the girls in terms of speed or height or strength?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
A couple, Yeah, all of them.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Roland Michael Gaines fired back, resurfacing a twenty seventeen Biles
tweet that read, good thing, guys don't compete against girls,
or he'd take all the gold medals, and she questioned Biles'
potential success had she been forced to compete with biological myth.
If Simone's inclusive dream came true, she would have zero
(27:42):
Olympic medals.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, Simone Biles literally tweeted of a male gymnast who
is doing amazing things.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Good, good thing.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
They don't compete against us because they're way bigger and stronger.
And she's this is a great because she's a fairly
bright person.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
From what I've seen.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
This is a next bookcase of ideology blinding someone to reality.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
And I'm sure she's immersed in people who think the
same way, so she assumes that she's on the popular
side of this. You're not right, And I liked Riley
Gaines blast about Okay, do the rings?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Then? Why is that just a male sport? The rings?
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Why is that not the girls? Because it takes incredible
upper body strength.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
And the final clip, which is great, but I need
to apologize in advance. There is something shocking here, something
people will not want to hear. And that's the name
Tim Walls again for some reason, just when you thought
he'd gone away for good.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
The War of Words follows a lawsuit filed in Minnesota
on behalf of three female softball players, calling the transgender
pitcher a violation of Title nine. The White House weighing
in saying President Trump is protecting women in sports and
restoring common sense. Of Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is defending
(29:02):
politicians who stand with transgender athletes.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Shame on any of us who throws a chance child
under the bus for thinking.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
They're going to.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Shame for throwing a trans child under the bus. Now,
they can be on the bus or next to the bus,
or in front of the bus or behind the bus.
They just can't be on a sports field competing against
girls because they're dudes.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Tim, You moron. Oh is that crowd that cheered like that? Yeah?
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
The one thing that's become that's so reassuring though to
me now is all of the polls that have been
done show this is an eighty twenty issue, right, And
so I hear that cheering and think it wow. I mean, granted,
that's a very blue pocket of America, but you found
yourself some real out there radical believers who cheer that garbage.
(29:56):
Tell you what it's folks, it's gender bending madness.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Armstrong, Hetty, the armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
How this.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
Stuff?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Anyway, back to Kate, this is this is just a
silly story that I had actually forgotten about until this
conversation came up. One of my top favorite bosses of
all time. And I think you know him, Paul Hawsley.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, what a good dude. I love him.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
So I get off the air in San Francisco and
he comes into the into the studio and he goes, hey, Katie,
I need to talk to you in my office for
a second. And he is stone serious, and I'm thinking,
oh boy, what did I say, What did I do?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Whatever?
Speaker 7 (30:48):
So I go into his office and he sits me
down and he goes, so, what is going on with
your car? What exactly My reaction, I'm like, what what
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You get out of your car like a dude, and
it's just weird. Yes, it's off.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Yeah that was it. And he goes, you're the pictures
on your car? And I'm like, the pictures on my car?
The only thing I have on my car is a
Blink one eighty two sticker on my window. And he goes, okay,
let's let's go to the garage.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
So and the license plate.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Yeah, so we walked down to the garage and we
go to the back of my car, which is parked
right next to the elevator, and at this time it
shows so this is like ten thirty in the morning, okay,
all over the back of my car, below the windshield
or below the windshield so I couldn't see it, are
triple X porn photos ripped out.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Of the magazine.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
Oh like like oh taped on their taped to the
back of my car like and is and we know
what sex is play, I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Oh, boy bleeps at hand.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
So yep, it went all the way up to just
about as triple X as you can get. And I mortified.
I'm I looked a him on like Paul I have.
Keep in mind, my drive to San Francisco was about
thirty five minutes, So I drove from home over the
bridge into San Francisco with this.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
On the back of my car. Oh okay.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
So I go into my text messages because I hadn't
checked him. People used to text message me at ungodly hours,
and I see a text from one of my friends
that says, hope you have a good work morning. And
I knew I from this the second I saw it.
And went this, dick, it was him. He came up
and walked to my house and he taped these things
to the back of my car. So Paul and I
had a little bit of a laugh about it. We
(32:48):
go back up into his office and Paul goes, hey,
let's call your friend.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I'm like, okay, So I call him. I call him
and I start, you know, fake crying.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
I'm like, Ryan, dude, my boss, really, my.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Boss would like to talk to you.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Oh my god, this is this is the appropriate vengeance,
This isomfortable, this is justice.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
So Paul has him on speaker phone and he goes, Hi, Ryan,
this is this is Katie's program director here in San Francisco,
and I just wanted to discuss the images that you
put on the back of her car. We actually have
security from the building here as well. And you could
hear Ryan going oh no, no, no, and then Paul start
busting up laughing. But anyway, that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
The reason this story came up is because we were
talking about the weirdest reasons we've ever been called into
our boss's office, and my brain went, oh my god,
that happened.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Oh that is that is a good way to get
back at somebody though.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's good.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
God, Oh it was mortifying anyway.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
If you are doing this job and you get called
into the boss's office and you're not fast forwarding through
everything you said in your head, you're not doing the
job right.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Right, It's a it was a short walk to Paul's office.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
But I'm going, Okay, what did I I did this
news story a comment.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I'm like, I had no idea at all, wed go ahead.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I was just going to say, we've like had serious
stressful issues with people, completely freaked out and pissed off
some of them performatively about things we've said. And I'd
say two of the three I never saw coming.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
No, I was gonna say, every time I've gotten in
trouble for saying something, it's like something I didn't even remember.
I say edgy things sometimes and they go, oh boy,
that might get me in trouble. That's not the one.
It's the thing I didn't even think of for some
reason that it usually ends up with the TV cameras
outside the radio station.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
And then there is I need to come up with
a name for it. It's like my white whale. It's
the one thing I said once that I thought, that's it.
I've ended my career. I shouldn't have said that. Whoops,
And I was. I was. I was virtually certain it
would be devastating, and nothing ever came of it. And
(35:01):
you can ply me with booze. You can put me
on the rack, give my boy, you can, or a
handy or the other thing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, the other thing might get me. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Try it, but I gotta go to church. I need
to get to go to church and have my ears
washed out. And I will never admit it. I will
never repeat it. It will not be repeated.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Had one time we angered the Asians, and every TV
station sent their Asian girl reporter to the radio station to.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
And that was the funny part of it. And we've
seen that sort of thing. If you say something insensitive
about like affirmative action for black people or something like that,
all of a sudden you find out every station in
town happens to have a black reporter too. Wow, when
they're reporting on this story, it's hilarious once you become
aware of it.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
It's it's like one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Italian Americans are angered at the cancelation.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Of the parade. We go to Luigi Praconi for a report,
