From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio

0:12

at the George Washington Broadcast Center,

0:15

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty

0:17

Armstrong and Getty Show, we

0:29

dug up a little of Kanye back

0:31

when Hurricane Katrina was a

0:33

Katrina was a thing. Remember his famous George

0:36

Bush eight Black People moment. He

0:39

was rambling like a lunatic before he

0:41

said that the world's has forgotten. So

0:44

he's been struggling

0:46

with that for quite some time. Why

0:49

are middle aged men missing from the

0:52

labor market? We have talked

0:54

about that before. There are I think

0:56

the number was seven million men

0:58

of working age that aren't

1:01

working or looking for work. Yep.

1:04

And there's one particular age

1:06

group that's overrepresented in

1:08

that broader

1:10

sample. We'll talk about that later in the

1:12

hour. It's it's it's really interesting,

1:15

and it's it's humbled me a bit

1:18

about right. I've

1:21

been more than willing to concede that luck plays

1:23

a role in every success story,

1:26

but it hadn't occurred to me like

1:28

it did. I'll share with what

1:30

I'm rambling about might make the same impression

1:32

on you. Well, he's been helping

1:35

a humble pie on a Friday with some whipped

1:37

cream

1:40

sounds delicious. I was that my favorite

1:43

unnecessarily expensive but incredibly

1:45

handy upper ended grocery store the

1:47

other day. And in the display

1:49

case that usually has like, uh, I

1:51

don't know whatever they usually have in there, but it's not

1:54

notable, they had nothing but different

1:56

sorts of pies and cakes.

1:59

I mean right up front. They

2:02

never had pies right there, but they know

2:04

it's the season of the year when people

2:06

will shamelessly hammered downs. Do

2:08

you spend money and you're taking calories

2:10

like it's not real? But you

2:13

me everybody? Yeah,

2:16

yeah, man, that's a that's a weird phenomenon,

2:19

isn't it. A dollar in December

2:21

is not looked at the same way as a dollar is

2:23

in March. Not even close, not

2:26

even close. Anyway. We have a

2:28

number of things to bring you up to speed on and talk about news

2:30

of the day whatnot, But first we have to do what we do every

2:32

single Friday at this time. We will take a fond

2:34

look back at the week that was. It's cow clips of

2:36

the week. Why

2:42

would you buy that litch cheese?

2:46

No? Um, I

2:48

don't know what to say, Like what happened

2:50

happened? But they did good

2:52

things too, We're gonna stop dishing the Nazis

2:54

all the time. Okay,

2:57

so I said star gaslighting, you

3:00

gonna start gaslight. That's not what I said.

3:03

Please do not dap So

3:06

all those in favor of your behavior

3:11

that I had to forgive

3:13

myself for being human. You're

3:18

the DC jury convicting top leaders

3:20

of the oath Keeper's militia of seditious

3:22

conspiracy. I don't

3:25

think anybody should be spending any time

3:27

with Nick Flenchaz. He has no place in this Republican

3:29

party. Somebody kicked

3:32

me in the back of the head, and six individuals

3:34

young twenty to twenty six years old

3:36

proceeded to beat the crap out of me. I

3:39

think our biggest problem is we're not

3:41

showing our keys that most of the people

3:43

today hadn't earned the right to change

3:45

American A lot of people

3:48

called you, um the savior of Crypto,

3:50

the patron Saints of crypto, the Michael

3:52

Jordan of crypto. I wasn't

3:55

spending any time or effort trying

3:57

to manage risk on f Jackson,

4:00

trying like and that that obviously

4:02

does what two

4:05

hour We have time for drink,

4:07

for college, and for sleeping

4:11

very hard. And you can

4:13

we say what I was met? Three

4:16

number of death? Three death. When

4:19

you get COVID here, they track you

4:21

down and they come and they take you

4:23

to a hospital and you

4:25

stay in the system until the system says you

4:28

can leave. It's all well

4:30

on steroids, Very

4:32

gray bagg.

4:37

You're pronouncing our country's name wrong.

4:39

Our country is named Iran, not

4:42

Iran. I

4:48

just hope this saysn't ruin our incredible friendship

4:50

with Iran. Just

4:54

because you don't like one group doesn't mean yet. But I

4:56

love Jewish people, but I also love

4:59

Nazis.

5:00

Half

5:28

a tuneful tale of the

5:31

cow. There wait, wonderful

5:33

Christine mcphe who lectured us there

5:36

of it's a it's a Ran, not a Ran. Who

5:38

was that? That was an Iranian

5:41

journalist? All right, whatever, person out

5:43

our soccer star f you, hey, try

5:45

not to shoot down kids in the street for

5:47

daring day. Have their voices heard, you, scumbag?

5:51

So this I'm interested

5:53

in this sort of thing. I saw the headline pre human ancestor

5:56

believed to have used fire as a tool a

5:59

moment. Just discovering South Africa could

6:01

turn understanding of human history on its head.

6:04

A non human creature dubbed

6:07

homeoon, A lady lady,

6:10

a lady, a

6:12

lady, and a lady and a lady

6:15

lady lady. So they

6:17

discovered this non no lady,

6:19

that's my wife, non human.

6:22

And then you get complicated and you start

6:24

breaking down on human and what's not. But anyway, it looks

6:26

like a person, looks like a hairy person based

6:28

on the drawings. And they discovered this about

6:30

a decade ago, and they now believed that that creature may

6:32

have had a head started Homo sapiens humans

6:35

what we are, and using fire as

6:37

a tool. So this guy had discovered

6:39

this cave that the theory

6:42

was there's no way he could gone into these

6:44

caves outside of Johannesburg in South

6:46

Africa. That these beasts,

6:48

beasts I might call him, the beasts, what should I call

6:51

them? They're not humans, they're cousins.

6:53

Okay, our cousins are Harry cousins. That

6:56

they could have gone into that cave, gone that far

6:58

back in the cave without light, because to be

7:00

so dark, you wouldn't do that. But that wasn't good enough.

7:02

He actually lost fifty pounds,

7:05

this paleontologist, so he could fit through

7:07

various parts of the cave, got back

7:09

in there and with light was able to see soot

7:11

on the blackened ceiling of the cave that

7:14

he says could only have been caused by fire,

7:16

and so believing that this group of

7:19

non humans, long before human beings

7:21

Homo sapiens came up with it, were

7:23

controlling and using fire. Now,

7:26

just to clarify, was he a big old fat boy

7:28

and he had to get down to normal way or was he like

7:30

one hundred and seventy pounds and now he's a skeleton?

7:33

Shockingly, I do not know the circumference

7:35

of his belly for this story,

7:37

because I'm thinking your prehistoric little monkey

7:40

men were not big, and they were certainly

7:42

not fat. I'll bet they're thin as raels.

7:46

Now, let me get to the part of the story that I

7:48

hate.

7:53

And this paleontologist believes in discovery

7:55

will challenge our assumptions about human uniqueness.

7:57

Okay, I'm not that invested in holmost

8:00

apiens being better than other branches

8:02

of the tree

8:04

of two legged whatever. An

8:07

odd sort of boosterism, you know,

8:10

it wouldn't offend me if some other

8:12

branch of the story

8:14

had fire first, right, And

8:17

as a guy with a fair amount of Neanderthal

8:19

DNA and me, I'll tell you, look, we lost.

8:22

It's okay, you win something at loose some This

8:25

is from the CBS News version

8:28

of this story. A South

8:30

African woman who

8:33

discovered this. It's not just about a ground baking

8:35

discovery, says this woman who was involved

8:37

in the figuring this out. For

8:39

a very long time archaeology and anthropology,

8:42

all these discoveries made in Africa have been

8:44

made by men, white men. That

8:47

is when we start taking back the narratives

8:49

of as Africans and we get to tell our stories

8:51

now. So it's some sort of

8:53

you know, I was just claiming, I'm not into

8:56

boostering a

8:58

million year ago version

9:00

of two legged smart

9:02

tasts, right, she apparently seeks

9:05

it's very important if it turns out that perhaps

9:07

black skinned two

9:10

legged beasts had fire before lighter

9:12

skinned beasts. I guess that would whatever,

9:14

or is she just saying it's important that somebody

9:16

with dark skin does the discovery.

9:19

I don't know. I don't even know. I don't think about

9:21

these things, so I don't I don't know. I don't know. The

9:23

only aspect of that I can defend is that there

9:25

was for the longest history if something really fascinating

9:28

was found in Africa to immediately be whisked

9:30

off to Paris, London or in New

9:32

York right where it may still be right

9:35

exactly, And now the African countries are saying,

9:37

hey, uh, yeah, it's staying here. And

9:39

I think that's that's great. Yeah, I get that.

9:42

They said that this particular two

9:45

legged creature had a brain no

9:47

bigger than a chimpanzee. So it would be pretty

9:50

big deal if it was using fire

9:54

and controlling it. Yeah,

9:57

indeed, And how soon do monkeys get

9:59

the power of that? And then you know we're in we're

10:01

in dire straits at that point. Run for your lives,

10:03

Yeah, for your lives.

10:07

Yeah. So the brain the size of the chimp, but

10:09

it mastered fire, or at least understood

10:12

its usefulness. Said, oh Lord

10:14

Jesus is a fire. Ah

10:17

wow, Okay, in tricking. If only there

10:20

were a security footage or you

10:22

know, transcripts of the hairy

10:24

little monkey men and their carryings on, that would be

10:26

so interesting. We know nothing

10:28

about most

10:30

every human being who ever lived up

10:33

until fairly recently. Going forward,

10:36

every single detail

10:38

of your life, practically

10:41

every hour of your life, for

10:44

many people will be known going forward.

10:46

Yeah, there were kings that commanded vast

10:48

kingdoms with vast armies

10:51

and all that's known as their name. Yeah,

10:53

but some dipss

10:56

has never accomplished anything but

10:59

becomes some well known as a gaming

11:01

commentator. There's there's reams

11:03

and reams of information on them or in they random

11:06

human being. One of the great

11:08

things is if you have any sort of writings,

11:10

like a Samuel Peep's diary from

11:13

sixteen sixty six, you know just what it was like in

11:15

daily London hundreds of years

11:17

ago. Is so fascinating. We'll

11:19

have endless that practically

11:22

every human being who has a smartphone is

11:24

documented everything that life is like in

11:26

the year twenty twenty two. Yeah, well,

11:28

let me just tell the people of the future listening

11:30

to this, you know, it was fine. There's

11:33

a lot like your life. The machines were different.

11:35

Don't waste your time, go go gang

11:37

out with your friends. Wasn't

11:40

that interest? No, it's not as interesting as you might

11:42

think. We've got more on the way. Our text

11:44

line is four one five two nine five KFTC.

12:12

The Armstrong and Getty Show. Guys

12:17

listen to this. According to the research self

12:19

service checkouts at grocery stores are

12:22

covered in harmful bacteria,

12:25

but hey, at least they also never worked. I

12:29

love the two years ago we were wiping down every

12:31

surface, and now we're like, my immune system needs

12:33

the challenge. Yeah.

12:37

I got all these wipes sitting here next to me, here

12:39

in the studio that I just I used one this

12:41

morning to wipe up some coffee I spill. And I thought, the reason

12:43

I have these is I remember when I used to come in and wipe

12:46

everything off when we still thought it was spreading

12:48

that way. Well, yeah, every time I grab a backpack

12:51

or whatever, it looks there's some

12:53

some what what do you call them Santa wipes

12:55

or disinfectant wipes, and there's

12:58

a mask, and there's a twobe

13:00

of the hand stuff, and yeah, I think,

13:02

wow, madness, madness. I went the other direction

13:04

to my own surprise. Yesterday I was coming on because one

13:06

of my one of my kids is sick and miss school

13:09

yesterday and today, and somebody is supposed to

13:11

come over, and I said, yeah, my kid's

13:13

sick, so I don't know if you want to do that, And they said, what am

13:15

I cancel every time somebody has a

13:17

cold. Well, yeah, I guess you're right.

13:20

The home. What are you never going to go to

13:22

anybody's home if anybody's sick of any kind

13:24

ever again? And if you actually

13:26

went to a picnic you were seeing as some sort

13:28

of radical lunatic. Lease please,

13:32

it's ridiculous. So

13:35

why are the people maddened China? Well,

13:37

they're mad because the COVID shutdowns, the zero

13:40

COVID policy has been incredibly intrusive

13:42

and oppressive in a way that's successive

13:45

even for the communist Chinese. But boy, that

13:47

apartment fire more grim

13:49

and horrible than than I think we realized.

13:52

And that was a real he's

13:54

trying to come up with the metaphor, doesn't that doesn't

13:56

involve fire. That was a real jump

13:59

start of the protests in the anger. Yeah,

14:02

who knows what the actual death toll is.

14:04

They're now calling it around fifty.

14:07

It started at ten. Obviously

14:09

it could be a lot of people with Chinese,

14:11

including small children, which is so

14:13

hard to take. And why were they why were they burnt

14:15

up in the apartment because the doors were literally

14:18

wired shut. I mean a journalist got

14:20

pictures out of the charred

14:22

doors with wires just like you

14:25

know, baling wire. You would use wrap

14:27

around the door knob and then they put up a

14:29

big nail in the door and they just wire it shut.

14:31

I mean, that's that's unbelievable

14:34

that a government is doing that, Yeah,

14:37

in a modern society. And so people because

14:39

somebody in the building had COVID evidently,

14:42

and the texts are out and they're just too grimmed

14:44

even like read I've read some of them. The

14:46

text are out from people texting each other and

14:48

trying to text authorities, Hey, we're

14:50

dying in here. The smoke is getting too bad. I'm sure

14:53

most of the people died of you

14:55

know, not being able to breathe rather than being

14:57

cooked. But just it's freaking

15:00

awful. So no wonder it has spurred these

15:02

protests the way they have. Now

15:05

you brought us the story yesterday of how unlikely

15:07

it is in the modern world that protests actually

15:09

work, which is disappointing. Yeah,

15:13

they might make some progress in terms of policy,

15:15

but like getting rid as JJ and ping or the communists

15:17

or whatever, forget it. Yeah, in terms of policy,

15:20

you would hope that if there's a big, big enough

15:22

uprising that the government, even the communist

15:24

government, would think, well, we want to avoid this

15:26

and so if we can so, yeah, I

15:29

suspect that's the case. There will be some good,

15:31

some give and some reforming

15:33

and policy and that sort of thing. That's not going to bring all those

15:35

poor dead people back. And you

15:38

know, you could certainly argue, all things being

15:40

equal, any regime that would do that

15:43

has no authority, no legitimacy

15:45

at all. But I thought this

15:48

was interesting. We talked about this in general, and

15:50

we got it more or less right. They talk about this.

15:53

This article starts with this fellow by the name of

15:55

Jiang who went to protest china strict

15:57

COVID policies in Beijing. He thought he could come out,

15:59

and he thought he'd come prepared to go on detected,

16:02

wre a balaclava and goggles to cover

16:04

his face. When it seemed that plane closed,

16:06

police officers were following him, he ducked into the bushes

16:09

and changed into a new jacket. He lost

16:11

them. Then he returned home without

16:13

being arrested, and thought he was in the clear. But the

16:15

cops called the next day. They knew

16:17

he'd been out because they were able to detect

16:19

his phone had been in the area

16:21

protests. They told him twenty minutes

16:24

later, even though he had not told them where he lived. Three

16:26

officers knocked on his door, so

16:29

they saw that the unique signature of his

16:31

phone got that phone number. And

16:33

because they're the totalitarian dictators

16:36

said to the phone company and Jack, you're always

16:39

making this point. There's no such thing as an independent

16:41

company in China. They said to the phone

16:43

company, who is this guy? Oh,

16:45

that's Jang. It won two three China

16:47

Street. So they showed up at his door as

16:51

the authorities seemed to three China

16:53

Street. It's just a for instance. As

16:56

the authorities seek to track, intimidating to detain

16:58

those who marched in defined so that the government struck COVID

17:00

policies, they're turning power, turning to

17:02

powerful tools of surveillance. They've

17:05

used face recognition software phones

17:07

informants to identify those who attended

17:09

protests. Usually they force those

17:11

they track down to pledge not to protest

17:13

again, because often they're

17:15

first timers and they

17:18

they say, okay, I won't. Does

17:22

the edge go to the people

17:25

trying to overthrow an authoritarian government

17:27

with the new technology or to the government

17:29

right now would seem like the edge goes to the government,

17:32

doesn't it. Well, yeah, especially because

17:34

the citizens can't beat and imprison

17:36

the government officials, right,

17:39

they can. If you have to resort to the beatens,

17:41

they'll do the beatens. Republicans

17:44

want Trump or the Santist Newpole, the

18:08

Armstrong and Getty show. Two

18:13

things worth mentioning One. Five

18:17

Ukrainian embassies around

18:20

Europe received bloody packages containing

18:23

animal eyes yesterday. Oh

18:26

it's a message. This means

18:30

you sleep with the eyes the eye

18:33

pluck out your eyes, just like they did this cat

18:35

or. I don't know what it means, but she that's

18:37

gruesome, isn't it? Yeah? Right

18:40

by Middle Eastern standards. It's actually kind

18:42

of you know, that's one story. It's the birthday

18:44

card. You gov is as legiti

18:46

poling organization as exists. How legit

18:49

any of them are, I don't know because they

18:51

have the struggle. But anyway, here

18:53

are the latest numbers on who Republicans want

18:55

as their twenty twenty four presidential nominee.

18:58

They pulled Republicans Trump

19:00

at thirty six, the Santis at thirty,

19:04

than other people at much much lower numbers.

19:06

But Trump still h thirty

19:09

six thirty over to Santis. In this pole. It

19:13

curves my snap analysis all

19:15

those other little numbers Joe Gettys

19:17

Snap Analysis. Do we have theme

19:20

music for that? Michael, Welcome to Joe

19:22

Getty's Snap Analysis.

19:28

All those small numbers your referenced various,

19:31

Nikki's Hayley and Tim's,

19:33

Scott's. That's

19:36

right exactly. Uh, what's his name?

19:38

The fellow who's VP for a while, Mike Spence.

19:41

All those numbers have to coalesce around

19:43

one person who get gets a bigger number

19:45

than Trump. So the anti Trump vote

19:48

has to coalesce. I have a feeling it will or

19:50

the somebody other than Trump now

19:52

vote, none of I should call it that none of

19:54

those people would choose Trump over to Santis, would

19:57

they? Or they would have already chosen Trump in that pole. Correct,

19:59

Yeah, that's yeah, that's what I was driving at. Yeah,

20:02

well said, So

20:05

you know, I'm torn. We announced that we were going to talk

20:07

about middle aged men

20:09

and not being in the workforce,

20:12

and that's good, Noll, but I'd forgot

20:15

that Michael sent something

20:17

to us about this tough talking Florida

20:20

sheriff who's

20:22

talking about discipline in schools. Okay,

20:25

and the middle aged guy stuff is pretty interesting.

20:29

Maybe we can squeeze it in. They'll be interesting Monday.

20:31

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. So Michael,

20:33

what do you suggest, sir? Hop on the microphone,

20:36

play the clip first and then get

20:39

into the news article or what Go

20:41

ahead and get into the news article and then we'll play the

20:43

clip. Well, the news

20:45

articles primarily quotes, though,

20:48

Okay, I'll go ahead and just play the share play it

20:51

quite frankly, they're not worried about getting

20:53

in trouble. They know nothing's going to happen to them.

20:55

They know they're not going to be given

20:57

after school detention. Frankly,

21:00

they're not worried about getting in trouble. They know nothing's

21:03

going to happen to me. They know they're not going

21:05

to be given after school detention.

21:07

They're not going to be suspended, they're not going to be expelled

21:10

or like in the old day, they're not going to have the cheeks of their

21:12

torn off for not doing writing class.

21:14

So we have teachers that are handcuffed,

21:17

we have principles at are handcuffed. I don't

21:19

know that my kid needs the cheeks of his ass

21:21

torn off if he doesn't do writing class.

21:23

But yeah, go go easy with the hard

21:26

ass rhetoric. Dude, You had me there, for a while,

21:28

but just say you get his fanny

21:30

paddled or something. Me, don't

21:32

you know, I don't have a problem with that. Actually they had

21:34

it in school and I as a kid, and I don't have a problem

21:37

with it. But the other stuff that has

21:39

disappeared, nobody's has to

21:41

stay after school, nobody gets in any trouble whatsoever

21:43

for anything. It's the start of

21:46

justice. I have seen it over and over

21:48

again. I can tell you that if you're the

21:50

recipient of bullying, you have

21:52

the exact same penalty as

21:54

the proponent. It's just the way it works.

21:57

Yeah, exactly. This is the greatest

21:59

time or bullies ever in American

22:01

schools. So standing outside the Brevard

22:04

County Jail Complex Sheriff Wayne Ivy.

22:06

And part of the reason he talks tough is is Florida. They

22:08

get lizards can kill you in Florida. Can

22:10

you imagine that what people

22:12

in Florida can imagine that they live with it every day

22:14

anyway where Oh. He was accompanied

22:16

by the school board chair, the state attorney,

22:19

and School Service Workers union representatives

22:22

as he decried what he called the failure of the school

22:25

discipline program here at Brevard Public

22:27

Schools that he promised would change

22:29

starting right now. If

22:31

you're a little snot that's coming into our classes

22:33

to be disruptive, you might want to find someplace

22:36

else to go to school, because we're

22:38

going to be your worst nightmare starting right

22:41

now. Okay, I'm on your side, dude, but

22:43

you're not gonna win over the people

22:45

you need to win over with this. The

22:50

crowd that you're using that language for is already

22:52

on your side.

22:53

It's that

22:56

squishier crowd kind of in the middle that

22:58

you want to make an argument. Just don't

23:00

go with they're a little snot and

23:03

you I'm gonna be your worst nightmare and then

23:05

come on and that's not help. But they

23:08

got the killer lizards. I mean, they got snakes

23:10

the size of submarines in Florida, Jack, they

23:12

got no time for your pinky out

23:14

niceties. It's

23:16

a place where you talk tough or you're

23:18

not heard. Yeah, I know, but if you talk

23:21

about ripping their ass cheeks off

23:23

because they acted up in class, you're not going

23:25

to get more enough people on your side to get

23:28

these policies on on board. Again. They

23:30

got rainstorms wipe towns off

23:32

the map. None

23:35

of your soft northern California

23:37

crap. All right, anyway, where

23:39

were we insula? You think that's

23:41

easy America's

23:45

Pennisum. You

23:47

actually make an excellent point. I think you

23:50

don't need to super

23:52

serve, as they say in the marketing business.

23:55

Um. The people who want

23:57

to hear about ass cheeks, they're

23:59

with y'all already. It's a great point. That's ladies

24:01

and gentlemen. Mister Jack Armstrong,

24:04

co host of The Armstrong and Getty Show,

24:06

with some really good pr thinking there.

24:08

Anyway, let's get back to the overly tough talking

24:10

lawman. There a little

24:13

snot coming in class that would be disruptive,

24:15

so we're gonna be here. His announcement about

24:17

school discipline comes after the swearing in last

24:20

week of two new school board members, both

24:22

endorsed by the sheriff and the governor. Blah

24:26

blah Bab, one of the folks who was the

24:28

board chair, said the board will sit down with the unions

24:30

and state Attorney at in an emergency meeting next

24:32

week to create quote, the most prolific policy

24:34

the school district's ever had. What

24:37

does he mean by prolific? A few clowns

24:39

can't follow the rules and they're messing it up

24:41

for everybody. Our teachers, our principles

24:43

are actually powerless to do anything with the current

24:45

policy that's in place. Our teachers have been handcuffed

24:48

when it comes to school discipline. Really

24:53

interesting, you know, and I remember

24:56

this was a truism

24:58

when I was a kid, and

25:01

at times when perhaps even high acted

25:03

up as a high energy youth. UM,

25:07

the argument was, you're preventing

25:10

everybody else in this class from

25:12

getting the education that they deserve. I don't

25:15

understand why that argument is not made more often.

25:19

Yes, yeah, yeah,

25:22

yep, uh, I'm

25:26

seeing if there's more to this, Um,

25:29

school administrators will be free up to

25:32

hand out punishments they deem necessary. Students

25:34

who want to act out feel empowered. They don't

25:36

believe there will be consequence because there won't

25:38

be. Yeah, there absolutely will not

25:41

be. Press

25:43

release from the Brevard Federation of Teachers

25:46

Union echoed the sentiments expressed

25:48

by Ah.

25:51

Some of the people who are skeptics. Yeah, wow,

25:54

interesting. We have offered

25:56

solutions to no avail students

25:58

verbally and physically use teacher and staff,

26:01

and there will be no end in sight unless meaningful

26:03

systemic changes are made. Wow. So

26:05

you have a teachers union and we all know how

26:07

left they are saying this is

26:09

it. We're not going to have our people in the

26:11

classroom anymore unless there's discipline. Yeah.

26:14

I love that, And I also wonder if

26:18

I'm stereotyping here.

26:20

I suppose, but I gotta believe if you tend

26:22

toward the restorative justice

26:24

is a good idea. Crowd,

26:27

You've not exactly raised your kid to be a

26:29

barroom brawler, and

26:31

they're ending up on the other end of

26:34

misbehavior that you're not digging

26:37

and there's no pump penalty for it. Yeah,

26:39

you know what, that's entirely possible. Some

26:42

of the more gentle and intellectual kids

26:44

are probably getting a hell whooped out of them. But

26:47

it's something It reminds me of the Oakland Remember

26:49

when the kids walked out of Oakland, California

26:51

schools because there wasn't enough

26:54

discipline. That should be horrifying

26:57

to adults when the kids have to take charge.

27:01

Yeah, because you're not keeping them safe

27:03

and comfortable in school. You should be embarrassed.

27:06

Progressive America

27:10

and its tendency to completely

27:12

be blind to human nature and reality

27:15

astounds me. Things that sound

27:17

good shove aside, things

27:20

that have always worked and I don't need kids

27:22

abused physically. They're better ways

27:24

to do ass cheeks torn off snot no,

27:26

no, no, that's

27:29

right, Senator McCain. Leave their ass

27:31

cheeks alone. There are other ways, but the

27:34

idea of it now is some big

27:37

kids smashes a small kid in

27:39

the face and takes their money.

27:41

They need to each get together and say how

27:44

they feel, and then we'll send them all on their

27:46

way. You people are effing insane.

27:49

It's your ass cheeks. I'd like I almost said

27:51

something I shouldn't have. M glad

27:54

I helped myself back. We have some

27:56

breaking news. As you all know.

27:58

If you're read the New York Times, you're Washington poster watch

28:00

your lefty cable news channels. Elon

28:02

Musk has created a

28:05

wild West hellscape with Twitter,

28:08

in which I now in which age

28:10

rules supreme. I'm on Twitter.

28:12

It's not even perceptibly different.

28:15

And he's just once again banned Kanye

28:17

West from Twitter, having allowed him back on a week

28:19

ago. And we'll tell you why next. Armstrong

28:23

and the

28:37

Armstrong and Getty Show. The

28:42

destruction of the spirit of the people of southern Louisiana

28:45

and Mississippi made up being the most

28:47

tragic loss of all geoyge Bush

28:49

doesn't care about black people. That's

28:52

Kanye West early two thousands.

28:54

We all remember that that was the first

28:56

inkling that the young musician

28:59

may be mentally

29:01

ill. Here's Kanye West as of yesterday.

29:04

I see, I see

29:06

good things about Hitler. Also, every

29:09

human being has something of value

29:11

that they brought to the table, especially

29:14

Hitler. So there's

29:16

a lot more of that, you know. Every time

29:18

it's just it's too much. I

29:21

mean, obviously it's too much. But every time I

29:24

hear that, I think, in

29:26

what crazy,

29:29

crazy, crazy part of his brain

29:32

does he think that's okay? I don't

29:34

know, but well he's crazy. He was

29:38

let back on Twitter along with Donald

29:40

Trump and Kathy Griffin and a whole bunch of other people

29:42

a couple weeks ago. James Lindsay, people that

29:44

I follow, he

29:46

has been booted off Twitter again. So Kanye

29:48

was on Twitter for a couple of weeks. He went too

29:51

far even for Elon Musk's

29:53

a newer policies that

29:57

in the lefty media is still going crazy over

29:59

acting like some horrific has happened. I have no

30:01

idea what they're talking about. I just I'm on Twitter every

30:03

single day. I have no idea what they're talking about,

30:05

but it's imaginary. It is imaginary.

30:09

They're trying to ask. Letting a few conservatives

30:11

back on is somehow enabling hate

30:13

speech. So the guy who's

30:16

vowed to get human beings to

30:18

Mars also stays up late listening

30:20

to the ramblings of mentally ill musicians,

30:23

apparently, and caught Kanye's

30:26

self described final tweet.

30:28

Last night, Kanye

30:32

put on their final tweet and

30:35

posted he had a series of arratic

30:37

tweets, but one of which appeared to show a symbol combining

30:40

a swastika and a Jewish star for

30:42

some reason, star of David. Yeah,

30:44

wherever that was, and whatever

30:47

are he is trying to say with that? But anyway, Elon

30:50

took that as violating their

30:52

policy and specifically

30:56

against a propagating

30:59

violence, right,

31:01

Yeah, so it violated their their Twitter

31:04

rules where you can't incite

31:06

violence. And he's

31:09

back off again. But I

31:12

don't, I don't know. I don't. I don't

31:14

get it. I don't get this story all way around. I don't. I don't

31:16

understand any part of it. I've I've been trying

31:18

to understand what the uproar is about Twitter.

31:21

I don't get it. I don't understand.

31:23

I just don't understand. It's the same hysteria

31:26

that brings you every Republican

31:28

is the new Hitler and is a racist,

31:31

and it'll be the Handmaid's Tale and he'll put

31:33

you back on the plantations and the rest of it.

31:35

It's that same hysteria. Yeah,

31:37

if somebody who's a moderate like

31:40

Elon Musk ends the

31:42

utterly unsided, one

31:44

sided censorship of Twitter, it'll

31:47

become a Nazi hellhole. It's hysteria.

31:50

Elon tweeted himself. I tried my best

31:52

despite that. Yea again violated

31:55

our rule against incitement to violence. Account

31:57

will be suspended and

32:01

the Kanye West account appears blank. Now

32:03

account violated

32:06

Twitter rules, it says, So

32:08

there are some limits, as he said there

32:10

would be from the beginning. Ran Yeah,

32:13

it's not that exciting. Really. Now

32:17

YouTube does not have You can't

32:19

find the videos of Kanye

32:23

talking to Alex Jones on YouTube.

32:26

You can find them on Twitter. I think

32:28

they should be on Twitter. I think that's I

32:30

think you should see. I

32:32

have no problem with people being able to see Kanye

32:35

West, who's running for president and in

32:37

our crazy modern world, could have

32:39

could have an impact on that. I have no problem

32:41

with him being displayed there is a crazy person which

32:44

will keep him from ever getting any votes

32:46

for president of any of any amount. That

32:48

matters. Well, And anybody who had

32:50

listened to Kanye's pro

32:52

hitler rant and think, wow, I

32:55

find that persuasive. It is such

32:57

a soft head, such a mutton

32:59

head, and and just

33:02

so crazy. You know they're

33:04

going to get that somewhere else. Well, you know

33:06

if somebody says, you know, Kanye was a

33:09

sympathetic Tory. You see this all the time in

33:11

the mainstream media. They characterize

33:13

what somebody said and they pretend

33:15

it's, well, we don't want to offend your

33:17

gentle ears with the actual verbiage.

33:20

No, I tell you what, I don't trust you people.

33:23

Right he said a homophobic remark? Yeah

33:25

maybe he did, Maybe he didn't. He said something

33:27

transphobic. I would like to be to the

33:29

judge of that. Please tell me what he said. Yeah,

33:31

you either believe sunlight

33:34

is the best disinfectant or all that

33:36

sort of stuff, or you don't. And if

33:39

I hear it characterized like you were just saying, I

33:41

think, yeah, but it wasn't much. I get

33:43

to actually see it the video and I think,

33:45

holy crap, that guy's crazy. He should not be

33:47

in charge of anything, which I'm sure there

33:49

are way more people that came away with that view

33:51

having actually watched Kanye's interview yesterday,

33:54

then came away with a you know, he makes some good

33:56

points, because he doesn't make any good points.

33:58

He doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Well,

34:00

and honestly, watching more

34:03

of it is more helpful than watching less

34:05

of it, and that the whole You know, Hitler

34:07

was a snappy dresser and brought

34:09

us the microphone in the highway, which is I mean,

34:11

that stuff was idiotic. But when he gets into the net

34:14

and Yahoo poppet bit, then

34:16

you can see he's completely unhinged.

34:18

We haven't played the long porn and pedophilia

34:20

clip. You want to hear a little of that and see if it entertains us

34:22

her at all. Yeah, although heck

34:25

you I may agree with him on some of that stuff,

34:27

I don't know. We don't. Let's

34:30

play a bit of it, you

34:32

know. Like one of the big topics right

34:34

now is all of the pedophilia

34:37

advertisement, and my take

34:39

on that is, you know, there's

34:41

there's one place in the Bible where it says

34:44

God sees sin differently, and

34:46

there's another place where it says, uh,

34:49

yeah, let me get out my phone. I can like really

34:52

pull up the exact thing it says in the Bible. The

34:54

general just and we'll get back to it out to the five minute

34:56

break is that you have to

35:00

uh stay strict to everything and remove

35:03

as much said as possible in order

35:05

to serve God. And when

35:07

people look at pornography, when a

35:10

grown man is looking at a grown woman

35:13

have sex on camera, you're

35:15

still looking at someone's daughter, and

35:17

you're looking at a lot of times someone

35:19

that is the product of pedophilia.

35:23

Okay, say that's all fine, that's

35:25

all fine conversation. Leave out

35:27

the up with the Nazis stuff and you

35:29

know, yeah it's not so bad. It had nothing to do

35:32

with Hitler's a good guy. Yeah, all

35:34

right, guys, let's finish Star now

35:36

full final thoughts with Jack and Bid Freedom.

35:39

35:55

35:57

At the end, they just rolled the credits and the

36:01

Christmas Tree Farm closes, right,

36:04
