Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the George Washington Broadcast Center.

Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and Jettie and he arms get it from the studio scene see sor. We're in a dimly lit room deput in the bowels of the Armstrong.

And Getty Communications compound where we feel safe from Tesla marauders, and we're under the tutelage of our general manager.

Today, ain't three Greenlanders?

I've been wanting to talk about this, the controversial visit by America's Second Lady Greenland.

We're not a Markee.

It's okay.

She has no power to her husband, I guess, but nobody cares. Well, why did she go.

To in a highly aggressive move of superpower belligerance? According to the Greenlanders? Because fifty six thousand of them? But well, seriously, why did she go? Because Greenland's beautiful as time of year? Why why's the second lady? And I hate those terms so much. Jd Vance's wife who has got nothing to do with anything and she just happens to be married to the Vice president but went to Greenland? Why well, I well, it's going later in the week. Did you know that? Oh wow, I just heard that on the news.

Yeah.

And Secretary of Energy too, Chris Wright is going well, obviously it is a takeover of grift.

Move, a low key ish visit to explore possibilities for working together in the future, and not at all.

As have moved that signals we want to take you over. But the Greenlanders are like, hey, I live in an arctic heal, all right, I don't have time for your bullless I know what this is one of the keys to the whole story always being. The total population of Greenland is about fifty five thousand people.

That's correct.

I rounded up to fifty six to be generous. So there was a baby born yesterday, which is quite amazing. I say, somebody lands there and say, look, we can do this the hardware.

We can do these the easy way. That's what you say.

This, Jack, This is a nineteenth century act in a twentieth century world. You want to take on the Marines with whale harpoons or whatever you use for your army. I think they have rifles whale harpoons. So yeah, Greenland's saying no, I know exactly what you're doing. You're like sending over a nice cube, pretty lady and a couple of secretaries to not look aggress it's aggressive.

We're Greenlanders. We eat raw seal for breakfast.

We got there's no time for niceties and the and pinkies in the air around here.

We know what you're doing.

Why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you want to be under the US umbrella of protection as opposed to a territory of Denmark? Why wouldn't I don't. I think they're a deal with Denmark's pretty comfortable for everybody. And and also there is a natural human disinclination.

To be bullied. Yeah, well we'll get used to it. Oh boy, the ugly American folks. Look who I'm working with, the.

Belligerent mega American creating resentments around the globe. Here's my favorite thing of the day. You know how I hate all congressional committees. I think ninety nine percent of them are a complete waste of effort. They're performative, made for TV events where we don't actually learn anything. Yeah, the televised hearings are awful. We're gonna have one of the best ones ever today. Of all of those, those a performative opportunity to just you know, say the stuff that's gonna get you on TV or you're back in your home state. Marjorie Taylor Green is the chair of a committee, so she's a leading ar. Is a good start start, yep. They're looking into the funding of NPR and PBS, with the heads of those two organizations there.

It's too much. It's better than the final four.

I know, as NPR said, because of perceived bias in the reporting of those two institutions.

And everyone knows that. That's right, missus, chairman, ma'am. They said, I'm MPR.

Republicans have been claiming for years that there is institutional bias in the reporting from NPR, and then they always mentioned we barely get any money from the federal went okay, well, I'm in the radio business, and radio business is really really tough, like a lot of businesses, and you gotta have lots and lots of ads to make it work, to pay human beings to be able to do whatever, and you seem to manage to do without.

So what's going on there? Right? Yeah?

Well, they beg their entirely liberal listener base for contributions as well. But I mean, this is an institution that the DC office. You remember what's his name? I just read his name again, Urie Berlin or was it something like that, who used to work at NPR and wrote that absolutely fabulous piece. I think it was in the Free Press, originally pointing out that their DC bureau was ninety two zero Democrats to Republicans in Washington, DC perceived bias. You people are urse clown. That's a nice stat but all you gotta do is turn it on and listen. All right, But the ideal in facts, it's give them a baseball team. That's a good idea. Who Greenland? Let them have a major league baseball team. There you go, Now you're on my side. Make him reach out the mittened hand of friendship. Well, then you take them over. Do you make them feel like they're part of something? A baseball team, holy, the Greenland or Whalers. You can be in the National League or the American League, whichever one you want. I don't care.

Oh, you're gonna have to.

Build a dome stadium probably, I mean, because the baseball weather's like a week and a half in June. But a bunch of people that you could fit the a normal major league stadium, A big one.

You could fit the entire country in there.

They could watch over the everybody ever, the whole country could watch every game home game.

That's a good point. Make the tickets free. Who cares axactly well extracted in the.

Mineral rights or say quite possibly would get in there and watch part of the game and think, why are we here again?

What is this? What is that happening here?

Of course, of course, if it's twelve degrees for most games, the home team's going to have an enormous advantage because I mean, the visiting teams are going to come in and just be terrified.

They well, hell, they might die on the field.

Whereas the you know, the Greenlanders, the Whales or whatever we're calling them, they'll they'll be used to it, acclimated. Flipping back to the other story we were talking about that I brought up. If I get in my car after work and I usually have NPR, and because I was listening to it as I got to work, it's almost always like as soon as it comes on, it's like trans children of the legal immigrants finding trouble getting food? What do we go you do about that? And like, okay, you think you think this is a mainstream story. It's always some story that like maybe five percent of America cares about. Oh, it's kind of hit thirteen on the intersectional scale. This seven year old.

Blind girl in Gaza is.

Suffering because of the evil Jewish Israeli attacks, unprovoked attacks.

Anyway, we should start to show officially that's gonna be some hearing. Though.

You don't think Marjorie Taylor Green's gonna bring it hard against NPR and PBS.

Ah.

Now, who are the Democrats on that committee? I need to know who was? It was Jasmin Crockett with the bad bleach blonde beach brought it, Jim bid but it bought it.

Hopefully, hopefully she's there. Yes, yes, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Wednesday, March twenty six. We're running on a march here people, the year twenty twenty five. We're armstrong and getting. We approve of this program. All right, let's start then officially according to FCC rules and regulation, here we go.

The show starts at mark.

And every time something like this happens, they call on the Republicans to resign. But yet we heard nothing on them calling on a vegetable that was ruling the country for four years to resign.

But he just called the former president of vegetable vegetable, it seems like, and a slurred his way through his punchline.

That's too bad. I thought that tape would be something we use for years. But a vegetable, you say, that's.

Uncharitable non compassment, as you see, right, boy. One thing you don't see from old man Biden the mummy. He's not doing any speaking tour. He's not cashing in. Of course he already cashed in through Hunter, but uh, he is. Uh, he's a non presence on the American scene because he's sadamn snaw.

Yeah.

No, I haven't heard a word from him, and that's that's that's interesting. Even Democrats have said that the scandal before we take a break, growing, shrinking, staying the same.

Uh, it's peaked. I think it has too. Yesterday.

I thought it would grow for a couple of days, maybe maybe longer. But it sure feels like it's peaked yesterday, and nobody a month from now, nobody will remember it at all.

I'm a week from now, I think that was last week.

Yeah, yeah, And we'll play some of the audio to prove my point. But other than Pete, hegsat's like immediate aftermath though we didn't disclose any battle plans.

I didn't text anything.

Mike Walltz is coming out and saying, hey, yeah, we screwed up is embarrassing, We're gonna do better. That's which is the way to handle it to me. I mean, that's a rarity in government, honestly. But yeah, it's it's peaked. It's fine, Okay. There are there are some in the new left leading Wall Street Journal, for instance, who are trying to say that Vance's strong statements about Europe, if driven a wedger, are likely to inflame. But no, no, Europe knows me. Think they're freeloaders. He just said it out loud. Again, It's fine, mostly think that because of all their freeloading. But we've got more to talk about later, and we've got Katie's headlines on the way. Here's our text line four one KFTC.

I'm not happy with my fit today. That's the term my son and his friend's uice. What does it mean short for your outfit? Oh? Not happy with my fit? Really? You look good to me?

Well from you're only seeing me from the waist up there. My pants, My pants are too slim. And I bought these suits. Remember I bought my suits after I got dumped and I was single, so I was I bought a bunch of suits and they're all too slim fitting and that style is out and now I'm wearing out of style because I was four years ago. Now four years is going by, and now my suits are out of style. So I got to get new suits. Skinny jeans, Jack there, These these suit pans are way too skinny for the current style. I'm not gonna go full flared bottom like I'm twenty five.

But personal opinion, the skinny jeans never worked.

But it was a questionable look in my opinion, But who am I to rule on such questions as a guy who mostly wears soccer shorts and warm up pants and cut the crap T shirts and well this is an A ANDNG licensed you know, commodity. Find it at the AG store. I'm strong you getting on demand. Cut the crap.

Huh.

Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

Katie starting with Politico came Jeffries calls for firing of Pete hag Seth after war plans on group chat.

Yeah, okay, call for anything you want. Those are clearly war plans, though, one't they? I mean, jar, aren't you really going into Bill Clinton? Is is territory to call those not war plans?

Yeah? I would agree. It was dumb, It was sloppy. They needs up their game.

From ABC Ukraine quote doesn't trust Russia, Zelensky warns as strikes follow ceasefire progress.

Yeah, this led the news last night. We mentioned yesterday as we got off the air when it was announced there's an agreement, a ceasefire agreement between Russian and Ukraine. Did not fight in the Black Sea or something like that. Man, everything continued over the next twenty four hours.

I just I don't.

Tell me the reason Putin would stop. You'd have to give me a reason why Putin would stop. Yeah, it all feels a little performative slash uh. The goals are not what they seem to be ish because these preliminary, partial agreements to temporarily blah blah blah, they don't they don't put Putin in anything close to a position where he has to make a serious decision.

So I'm not sure what we're driving at here.

Maybe it's just exposing the fact that Putin has no interest in peace so that Trump can do what he did to the Hoosies to the frustration of some of his isolationist advisors.

I don't know.

From the New York Times in rare protest, Gossin's voice frustration with.

Hamas, Wow, I didn't see that.

What was publication is that that's from the New York Times.

I will read that story.

Yeah, there's a protest yesterday. They were all several signs, said Hamas out woo.

Well, those people are the patriots. They are risking their lives.

From Breitbart, Trump administration ends taxpayer funded housing programs for illegals.

Oh god, what a strange country and what an time we've lived through.

USA.

Today, Donald Trump signs executive order requiring proof of citizenship in federal elections.

I saw that. The pushback is that.

Presidents can't put out national election policy. And that's something we were arguing about on the right when Democrats were trying to do it. But the notion is, as we point out, regularly overwhelmingly supported in the polls. Most people think that's a good idea. It's another one of those things that whether Trump can make it happen or not, he's on the right.

Side of right.

I'm interested to listen to actual experts in this talk about I mean, because obviously there's a federal interest in being a citizen. Sure, and as like guidelines for voting go that's about the broadest one I can even think of.

So yeah, I'll be curious to see which way this one goes. I mean, who could be against that? I've heard the counter argument, it's very difficult for some people to prove citizenship. Is it really, I'm looking at you're a citizen?

Is it? I'm looking at the CNN headline. Critics say, it's an attempt to what was the word what's the word they always use, restrict the vote a different word. But to the surprise, the critics say, it's an attempt to suppress the vote.

H illegals, yes, yes, vote, yeah, thank you.

Why wouldn't you just say instead of saying critics say, why wouldn't you say, advocates say, and it's tempt to make sure everyone's the citizen who votes, which, by the way, is over fifty percent popular. All right, So, speaking of T shirts, I hate the pop up ads on the internet.

Everybody does.

But I just saw one T T shirt sprite red. It says I'm going to hell? Do you need anything?

From CNBC February home resales jump much more than expected.

Oh interesting, Huh, this is an awful story.

I'm sorry.

The housing market's got to loosen up sooner or later in fits and starts.

I hope it is, yes, Katie, not not a good story here. New York Post caffeinated quote workout queen dies from heart attack at age twenty eight. Heart Broken mom warns, keep your kids away from this stuff.

Some sort of hypercaffeinated drink, shoes swaking. I doubt it was a cup of coffee, so energy drink like ghost or probably ghosts. That's the big one with the younger people.

Yeah, and that was one of her like things with her social media where she worked out. It was like working out and caffeine. Those were like her two things.

God, the young people like those things. Hey.

And finally, the Babylon b Shutter Department of Education not sure what to do with this warehouse full of gender unicorn coloring books.

Ah h, so troubling.

Have you ever had a ghost energy drink? Me? No, Katie, No, I don't. I don't.

I hate the feeling of being over caffeated, over jazzed up. I drink quite a bit of caffeine. I mean, it's not like I'm new to caffeine and I have a sip one of those things and I feel like my head's gonna pop off.

So I don't know what's different about them. But used to camp now, you used to be able to drink them. Mm hmm. Okay.

Now my son and his friends and I don't let them be in the house. But man, every time they do a sleepover somewhere, that's what they all do. They get, They get a whole bunch of those and stay up. Now, it's it's stupid to buy any sort of pills on the street these days, but you buy a little speed you know that's against the law, but you swing it down out of a can.

That's perfectly fine. What's up with that? What's going on here? Kids today? That'll be our topic, oh, Armstrong and Getty.

Lately, there's been a shift in the toy market thanks to the rise of grown up toy aficionados known ask adults.

Companies are catering to.

Them, specifically now like Lego, which just launched an age eighteen plus adult focused line, which really sounds like Lego's making sex toys. You know their slogan, Lego Sex Toys.

Ow. There's no sex toys involved.

And I was on this story early because Mike kids were so into Legos. Jeez, I can't believe it's been so long now, but half dozen years ago, eight years ago, my kids were so on Legos. We'd go to the Lego store a lot, but the big displays were all things for like twenty eight year old dudes who want to build a the battleship from Star Trek or Star Wars or something else, and they're all six hundred dollars or four hundred dollars or whatever.

That was their main thing.

And Lego just figured out, like a lot of other industries, that there's a whole bunch of ain't in a relationship, ain't gonna have kids, maybe still live with mom and dad, delayed at you know, adulthood, that are willing to buy this stuff.

That's where the money is.

So we're rutter off selling one of these giant adult Lego sets. No no, no, not everything needs a cute sea name. Stop it then ten of these little sets for actual children. I'd love to have a time machine and go back to nineteen seventy and tell parents, hey, by the way, these he's going to be sold to like twenty eight year olds for the equivalent of current one hundred and seventy five dollars.

And they'd be like, what right.

Like a thirty year old dude, like everybody's dad had too.

So their children could play with it.

No, no, no, they not only won't have children, they won't have a wife. They don't even have a girlfriend. They haven't had a girlfriend at age twenty eight.

You'd be like, wait, I'm mad.

At everybody's dad, Like my dad already had a couple of kids. I can't stand in line at the Lego store to buy a toy for myself.

I got to be at work in the morning, So no, right, Katie.

I take issue with this because, well, first of all, they're knockoff versions of these legos for adults on Amazon. And when I was sick a few I don't know, like a couple of months ago, I actually got one because I couldn't there was nothing else I was going to do with my time, and it was like a really cool puzzle, and I am not a adult.

They're spectacularly well done.

Like you can get like a sixty five Mustang or whatever and Legos that's like eight hundred bucks or whatever.

Yeah, it's amazing looking.

Well, the one I got on Amazon was like twenty five bucks and it was a really cool rainforest thing. Frustrating as f to put together.

But you may have turned me somewhat because if I, if I knew a thirty year old dude who made models a little closer to arts, arts and crafts, I wouldn't think that was horrifying.

As opposed to it would it would. It's a question mark. It raises the question. And I also think there's a.

Little thing, a little sex as I'm going on here, because it's a little less weird for you know, a chick to do like a rainforest puzzled than some dude to be sitting at home putting together like a.

Star Wars coffee shop from friends.

Yeah, that's a little weird, I guess.

Yeah, it's these these cliches come from somewhere, stereotypes come from something there.

It's time saver for one. But yeah, it's just okay, you know what not every part.

I agree with you on the term adults, but is any Are he going to deny that that's not a thing. No, No, it's clearly no. I'm not against the concept. I just hate cutesy names. But I'm not saying every thirty year old man who does legos is some sort of unmarriageable sad sack.

But some are.

Some are My favorite new band named Belgrade Sound Cannon. Belgrade Sound Cannon. This is an interesting news story. We will get two later.

Stay tuned. I like it.

So. The planned visit to Greenland this week led by Second Lady speaking of the wife of the VP second what does that even mean? Nothing like the second Gentleman Doug m Hoff was originally presented as a feel good event to celebrate Greenlandic culture, and who among us doesn't enjoy celebrating Greenlandic culture from time to time, But instead jackets stirring anger and anxiety and testing already strained relations between the US and europe allies.

And that was before JD.

Vance, he of the recent signal string, announced that he would be joining his wife on the trip. And the Greenlanders are are They got their fur up? And literally they're furry people. It's so cold there. Human beings have grown finishing the hospital. They're like Hobbins, very much like that, but not just defeat, very harry.

So they've denounced the visit.

Greenland has by the relegation, which the White House said Sunday would include National Security Visor Michael Waltz and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and probably a Goldenberg from the Atlantic. They're including him whenever it possible these days, but they're condemning it as a highly aggressive move. In fact, their Prime Minister, who is a lady, dialed up the rhetoric against Washington, saying the visit quote puts completely unacceptable pressure on Greenland, Greenlandic politicians, in the Greenlandic population, as well.

As on Denmark.

President Trump is serious, she told Danish TV, which I'm sure is a delight. He wants Greenland. Huh another show about seals?

Dad, Come sit down.

What's the horrifying Bobby Knight quote? Lay back and take it? Come on Greenland. Oh oh no, no, see this is I'm not even amused by this that there are the there's the right way to do stuff and there's the wrong way. Right way used to say, welcome the United States, wave some American flags, enjoy being a richer country under the nuclear umbrella of the US, and be a better place to live. Yeah, well, okay, it's there. It's their land. Jack, I'm not what are you Vladimir Putin? Am I working with Vladimir Putin in an overly tight So you haven't heard in my situation, I haven't heard any attempts to like change their lifestyle or economy or anything like that greatly.

It's just here. You know, we're gonna we're gonna mind some of your minerals.

Well yeah, and we're gonna protect you from the Ruskies, and we're gonna work together because in the future we're gonna need to because the Arctic isn't quite as chilly as it used to be. Well, the main thing being Russia is not see when this is the real argument. If I could be serious for a moment, can I say I was busy making a lego. By the way, we've got a great text pushback and may be rethinking my position on this. Wow, on the lego thing? Are you going to become a adult? Here's my serious thought on the whole greenland thing. And I don't know if anybody sits down and talks to them about this. It's gonna happen. You're either gonna fall under this way of the United States, Russia, or China. We're kind of doing it in a soft, nice, easy way, and you'll still get to be free and do whatever you want when China decides they want you. Unless we're willing to go to war over it. They're gonna do whatever the hell they want when they take this country. Solid Ary reality, solid argument. And I've also got to admit that one element of this, because it'll get worked out, is the media absolutely loves anything this negative toward Trump. And you've got you know, a third of the population of a country that has fifty six thousand people is somewhat annoyed. That's not that biggest story. I mean, that's like twice that many people walk out of stadiums annoyed when their teams lose. So you know it'll be okay. But this one, I'm serious about this one. I think Trump in the Canadian stuff has been over the top too much. Absolutely, yeah, just dumb. I don't think it bears any fruit, and Canada is a different story. They don't They're not gonna be our fifty first state. They shouldn't be our fifty first state. We shouldn't try to force them into that. Yeah, but the whole we're gonna annex you. You'r a fifty first state, which the administration has just doubled down on. Can't who All right, So unless you're a true moron, you can guess the answer to this question. Who takes more trips to the US for tourism than any country on Earth? Canada? And tourism from Canada is down thirteen percent a year over year, which is billions of dollars in lost spending and probably fourteen thousand job loss because they're mad, because they're pissed off. That's interesting. I don't know what I changed my vacation plans. If I was going to go to Montana with the kids, all right, Yeah, I wouldn't tend to because I spend my life immersed in politics, and so I think, men, this is the latest blow. But I mean, if I don't know, I'm trying to come up with the country. You're not traveling much these days. But if you're going to go to France, Paris and just enjoy a week exploring France, and they just start coming up with them, coming out with them most virulently anti American. I'd be less interested in giving my mom mind. May I'll tell you that. Yeah, yeah, So boycott by the top international visitor threatens to append local economies across the US. Canadians made twenty million visits to the US last year.

Twenty million.

I wonder how many of those are, you know, Buffalo, New York, whatever, that town is right across in Michigan, you know those.

Those places.

But anyway, well, no, no, I don't think so, because this is purely tourism business. I think is a separate category, and it's scads and scads of California in Orlando and Chicago and places people go in short, so even a ten percent reduction in Canadian travel could mean two billion dollars in lost spending fourteen thousand job loss, according to a trade association, But the Administration held firm on its messaging quote. Canadians will no longer have to worry about the inconveniences of international travel when they become American citizens as residents of our cherished fifty first state.

White House spokesman Anna Kelly said.

Wow, they're either like taking the joke to like really far dry levels, or they mean it.

I don't know which.

It's never gonna happen. I just it doesn't. I don't think it bears any fruits dumb and jam in this text because it's pretty good and it may have swayed me. Okay, I'm forty three years old, I'm married seventeen years. I have three kids. Still the only one still love legos, still get them for Christmas and birthday. Greatest toy in history and reminds me of my grandpa's love for model trains. Who criticized their grandpa if they had one who was into model trains for that, like he was some sort of Oh sure you fought in World War two and you raised three kids and blah blah blah, but you're playing with model trains.

Embarrassing.

What are you?

No adults? Nobody? Why is that different?

Sir, sir, thank you for writing. I resent the fact that you've blown my argument out of the water. That's you mind your own business man. That's pretty good.

Yeah, you know, honestly, it's all about life balance.

I like to hit a white ball, well yellow ball sometimes through the air and watch it.

Sore, and then I try to hit it into a little hole.

It's nice exercise. Can hear the birds chirping? But it's just not productive exactly. Yes, that's playing a game.

No, I don't think it does.

No.

Okay, I've actually been argued out of my position. It's just a question of balance.

I gotta admit, though, I come over to your house and you or you're you're telling me about the The new Lego set comes out Friday, so taking off work early to go. Wait, I got No, I'm back to eight. I'm back to contempt. Sorry, granddad, legendoyed your trains. That was easy.

We got mail bag on the way to stay here.

Well, I at least spoke too soon on the Is this scandal over yet?

It's got at least another day.

As Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic doesn't like the administration, sect deaf and everybody's saying these were not war plans because he was very vague in the stuff he put out yesterday, because he doesn't want to release you know, top sacred information, which is a nice patriotic thing to do, even though he's.

You know, he's a anti trumper and all that sort of stuff.

He wasn't going to release, But then the administration says he's lying and they weren't war plans. So the Atlantic website today now has out more details from the screenshots he's got of the conversation they were having. I'm reading them over right now. We'll get into to him in the now or two. They are absolutely one hundred percent war plans. I mean, without any doubt whatsoever. Oh at a tangled web we weave when first we decide we're going to deceive. To paraphrase, I'll give you a tiny taste. Pete hegseeth team update time now, weather favorable. Just confirmed sentcom we are a go per mission launch F eighteen's launch First Strike package at twelve fifteen at thirteen forty. What does that sound like to you? Could be anything Opening day of the baseball season. I don't know. Yeah, I can't wait to hear that next hour, folks, we'll kick it off big time.

Hope you can join us. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

Continuing on with our series from Theodore Roosevelt. This one seemed too perfect, so i'd some research and it is absolutely authentic from the Library of Congress, And in fact it's they have a recording of Teddy saying this didn't have time to grab that.

That would have been cool. Mother would sound like this because it's old timey.

That's right behind the ostensible government, since enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day. Wow, that was true over one hundred years ago. How much worse is it now than then? I'm going to reread the first part. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

In other words, must strain the swamp. That could have been an Elon Musk quote.

It's been a fight since time immemorial in our system of government, the permanent government class that profits from your tax dollars. Anyway, we can wear that out, you know again, another time we certainly will. Mailbag drums note mailbag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Nice note from Cliff in New Zealand. Been there for several months with his Kiwi wife who.

You pointed out with Jill Zealand.

Oh no, his Kiwi wife, who he points out is a woman from birth, and nobody asked anyway. He describes discovering our showback in twenty seventeen in the San Francico Bay area.

We were good back then.

Your podcasts has been key to me retaining what's left of my sanity since retirement, he says. New Zealand is great, but it's a big change from the US in many ways. One major similarity, unfortunately, is a dishonest press, almost uniformly liberal and constantly skewing the news to fit.

Their labor liberal labor party narrative. That's interesting, Is that true almost everywhere? That's a frequency? I think so. Yeah.

I could give you some examples, but were short of time some examples of exceptions, But yeah, I just think the sort of person who wants to be a professional scribbler tends to have a certain personality type. It's like, you know, Navy seals tends to be a certain sort of person. He says, don't describe the Wall Street Journal as a conservative newspaper.

It really isn't anymore.

I agree, it's slightly more saying than New York Times, but it's skewing left in a troubling fashion. Then he says some very nice things about the show, borderline and embarrassing, but thanks.

I'd like that same morning, Michael. Yeah, you know, I could tell the story of how I really wanted to cut the show to three hours but was argued out of it for various reasons, which a good good reasons. But yeah, I don't want to retire. I just don't want to do as much anyway, Let's do more now. Jade San Jose, frequent correspondent, Guys, my unsolictened opinion on the tech to the Atlantic, because that is kind of a meth. Thus far, the only news Democrats have been working with is a steady diet of common sense raw vegetables, Doge, Department of Education, the border, DEI himmas, et cetera.

He thought it was a fishing expedition, because you would think, there's no way I just got added in to the conversation about a military strike.

Let's see, im powlo.

I'm and I have to shorten this considerably, but he's talking about the Democrats resistance to proving citizenship to vote and skipping to his punchline.

Now for the actual ironic part.

Dems are advocating policies intended to increase turnout amongst those who are deserting them the.

Fastest sweet huh No kidding, But then he.

Points out, quite quite correctly, the Republicans will find a way to screw it up.

That's what they do best.
