Hour 2 of A&G features...
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show, Well.
Some big financial news this week, the stock market hit another all time high. Yeah, a lot of companies are doing well right now, and we thought we'd take a look at why. For instance, Elmer's stock is up because Boeing is using their glue.
To repair their playing I know that would be good.
Let's take off.
Next up, KFC stock is up because people think buying food from Colonel Sanders Council is supporting the truth aren't real? Next up, Denny's stock is up because you can unsee what you've seen at waffle house.
What was my show? I had an inflation shock over the weekend. Oh, baskin Robbins. So I took my son and his buddy. They were having kind of a playdate thing. I'm not supposed to call it a playdate at this age, a hangout, I said. My son said, that's for little kids playdate. We're just hanging out. That's Oh no, you can't use PLAYD eight anyway.
I went to Basket Robinson.
We's got one scoop and a cup, one scoop and a cup eighteen dollars.
What eighteen dollars? Whoa like? What?
So that fits in with this? And then inflation is down and all the talk about how Joe Biden is not handling this right politically. He talks about the stock market like Jimmy Fallon just did and doesn't recognize blah blah blah. And then somebody pointed out over the weekend, I came across this punditry that I thought was really good.
It doesn't matter.
Biden's problem is not that he isn't getting the rhetorical balance between optimism and realism, right. The problem is that the rent's too high.
You're right.
You can make whatever rhetorical whatever you want.
The fact that I got three scoops ice cream for eighteen.
Dollars is the problem, right, right, Yeah, great example. It's funny.
It struck me in catching up to some of the punditry yesterday getting ready for today, that the amount of really inside the Beltwagh analysis of strategy that's foisted on the rest of us is well, it's too much. Because they were going on and on about the various topic that you're describing that Biden needs to do a better job of balancing compassion in his message with pride over the economic blob up. No, the rent is too high? Yeah yeah, yeah, goodness sakes. Oh speaking of money and analysis, I thought this was really interesting headline Wall Street Journal the Republican's four trillion dollar question? Should they pay for extending Trump tax cuts? And they're talking about the big Trump era tax cuts. They lapse after twenty twenty five, So one of the first things they'll have to address is what are they going to do?
It's going to be the biggest political story of whoever's president their first year is how to deal with these tax cuts?
Right?
And just to quote their journal, should they cover any or all of the four trillion dollar costs? And how the question pits the party's belief in the economic power of tax cuts against many GOP lawmakers oft repeated concerns about federal debt and budget deficits. Many Republicans argue that tax cut extensions are so important for strong growth that they don't need to be fully paid for.
You can grow your way out of it.
Some are exploring ways to trim the net cost of a tax cut extension, such as repealing electric vehicle tax breaks or last phrase of the paragraph, last phrase DFL. I almost forgot to throw it in. Or reducing federal spending as a strategy. No what huh? Yeah, I know, I know, the gigantic, enormous, unspeakable monster metastasized federal government. It's an afterthought whether to rein and spending. And you know, I'm not gonna harp all down that, but I put it right next to this piece, which is from the excellent California Globe. This is absolutely a national story. They're talking about artificial intelligence, specifically as a cybersecurity challenge, as they put it, as AI technologies become increasingly sophisticated, the potential for their exploitation, exploitation by malicious actors grows exponentially. And they're talking about how AI can, in near miraculous fashion, automate and enhance the scale, speed, and sophistication of these attacks, making them more difficult to detect and counter act. Go into a fair amount of detail, as you might guess. So the reason those two stories I think go well side by side is we are way beyond.
The tether of fiscal sanity.
I mean, we're into hunter Biden on a crack binge with hookers and guns in Vegas.
As a nation, you know, do we.
Get the first suns we deserve as well as the government we deserve. Anyway, then you have all the story about our vulnerabilities our infrastructure, our electrical grids, our water systems, etc. To cyber attacks and this exploding ability for cyber criminals to get even more and you know foreign actors as well.
I should do it. What am I term?
I'm looking for nasty nations China and Russia and North Carolinia Korea to exploit these tools the access of a holes exactly. Meanwhile, you've got like the Department of Education. Part of the reason they floundered so terribly on the whole rollout of the new FAFSA applications is because they're using software systems that run using what is it cobol or what's that old programming language from the nineties. I never studied programming, so I'm really rough on this stuff. But it's like a museum level of software sophistication. And you have Okay, so you have virtually the entirety of government, including state, county, and municipal government in need of humongous, unthinkable upgrades to protect against the current cyber threats. And the cyber threats are about to quintupple one hundred to become one hundred times more dangerous and effective. What's that going to cost to fortify ourselves against hat I want?
We talked the We talked flippantly the other day. We talked flippantly about everything all the time. We talked flippantly the other day about how we might have to go like away from the Internet. Maybe this is what ends the Internet and we go back to encyclopedias just because you know, you search on something and then there's there's nine gazillion fake AI created sites, So what's the point? And I wonder if the same is going to be with a lot that you go back to regular mail or walking down to the boss's office and handed them a note or something, just because what would stop me from telling a chat GPT program I want to hack into my also's email and it figures out how to do it.
Sure I don't have to be any good at it.
Well, we're all already at the point where I was reading about I think I talked about it on the air. A scam where recent college grads are reached out to by one of their favorite professors, and the scam is, you know, it can be put together so quickly that it'll say stuff like, hey, John really enjoyed our coffee the other day. I have some exciting news. A friend of mine who's in such and such corporation wanted to talk to you. I recommended you, And it's become so sophisticated at this point. It's, you know, people are getting hammered and screwed and ripped off all over the place.
Imagine when it's ten times more effective.
But anyway, so I guess my point is that not only are we not saving for a rainy day, but there's a Cat five hurricane like ten miles away moving in our direction and we haven't saved time for preparedness. So I just I worry, as I always do, whether what's good and innovative and smart about this country can overcome what's stupid and wasteful.
No, yeah, I mean, because I'm still listening to the New Cold Wars, the book by David Sanger, and gone through all the chapters on the cyber stuff, and I just did the chapter yesterday on the spotnik moment that was when China, when we found out China has a hypersonic missile that we can't detect. I mean, so all these fronts, it's horrifying. The cyber stuff that we are either peer level with or behind, the missile stuff, or either peer level or behind. Our dominance is not near what it used to be or what a lot of people think it is.
So I guess for an action plan there for everybody assembled here, and thank you for being here. I suppose on a personal level, well, on a political level, it's elections are important. Turn out to vote, convince your friends, talk to them about this stuff, and let's win some elections. And the Republican Party is only incrementally better than Democrats at this point, but I believe they're better at fiscal responsibility. But on a personal level, and I've never been like your survive list. I don't have six months worth of freeze dried food or you know, solar powered machine guns or anything like that for when the poop hits the fan. But I think is a purely practical guy, a reasonable Midwestern fellow.
I think it is a really good idea to are you.
Composting your own feces of course.
I am, and I use the resultant methane to power my solar powered machine gun.
Anyway, it's kind, that's right, Johnny. Anyway, my point.
Was, I think it is extremely reasonable for everybody to behave like they're in well, I don't know, hurricane country again or something like that, and to have two weeks of water on hand, and to have enough chargeable batteries that you can run everything you need to run, or generators or whatever. Explain to me the scenario whereby we're not hacked and attacked in our infrastructure systems in the next five years. It seems to me like the thing that's much more likely than it not happening.
Well, I live in California, which is helpful Americas, Haiti. The electricity goes out so often that you do have more generators and flashlights and batteries and stuff like that.
But yeah, in general, I can see what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah, so I don't know. Oh, cite me one thing that's getting better certain aspects of medical care. Yeah, oh, absolutely, yeah, unless the doctor went to UCLA, where again, the diversity means more than competence.
A sports legend died over the weekend it's not his sportiness that we need to focus on, but his optimism.
I want to talk about that among other things. So stay with us armstrong.
Heetti a six foot eleven free spirit. Bill Walton's legacy stands even taller. A two time NCAA champion at UCLA and three time player of the Year. Picked first overall in the nineteen seventy four NBA draft, he won championships with the Portland Trailblazers in Boston Celtics, all while trumpeting the importance of teamwork and unselfishness. When foot injuries ended his career early, Walton stayed close to basketball in an improbable second act, fighting through a lifelong stutter, becoming a beloved basketball broadcaster. His colorful personality match by his signature Tai die T shirts, a tribute to his favorite band, The Grateful Dead.
Bill Walton was seventy one years old.
Yeah, and Joe and I always hesitate to talk too much about sports because, contrary to what you might believe, if you're a sport fan, most people are not, and Bill Watt was one of the most. He's certainly in the argument for the most dominant college basketball player of all time, and then he goes into the NBA and he has all these injuries and his career was way less than what he was hoping it would be and becomes a very famous broadcaster. But a little more I want to talk about the overcoming setbacks as opposed to this the sports part of it. But here's a little bit of him on David Letterman from back in.
The day this past summer when I had my thirty first operation.
See that's on your feet.
On my feet most what I was talking about. That's just that's crazy, isn't it.
But I was lying in the hospital bed and as a very serious major operation, six months of just laying down there, and my second son, Nathan, was twenty four years old. He came over and sat on the edge of the bed and he said, Dad, it's been a long, hard road for you. What are you going to do when your foot finally gets better? What are you going to do when you get up out of this bed? Said Nathan, I am never going to sit down again. Now that we're here in the playoffs. You know, the basket ball game.
Has been my life.
Thirty one foot operations. So he comes into the NBA number one pick in the draft. He's going to dominate the league for the next twenty years, and blah blah blah, and that it doesn't work out that way.
It has a ten.
Year career, half of which he doesn't get to play because of all of his foot problems.
But somehow he's one of those people.
That kept a good attitude and then turned it into like another career and as you heard that, overcoming a stutter and became a beloved NBA broadcaster for decades. And actually met Bill Walton in a park one time in Sacramento when the broadcasting team was in town and he was just he was walking around and people were greeting men.
He just had a.
Smile on his face. He's one of those people that just walk around smiling and happy to greet everybody. I met another NBA legend one time here at the radio station, Rick Ferry, one of the greatest NBA players of all the time, and I walked up and said, hey, I don't want to interrupt you, but I just I want to be able to tell my dad.
I shook Rick Berry's head.
He said, yeah, great, he's so angry that I had interrupted him.
And he's legend. But so well.
In his defense, he was sitting in a stall trying to have a movement.
He was mid love making, and I interrupted him. So what I was wondering about this? This is the thing you always bring up. How much of this is just your demeanor you're born with?
How much can you shape that? How much control you have?
I unfortunately, but to be honest, I lean more toward the Rick Berry personality than the Bill Walton personality in terms of, you know, just demeanor, just happiness in general, being grateful for what I've got. I mean, I have to fight the impulse to bitch ninety nine percent of the time.
How much of that is what you're born with? How much can you shape it? Do you think?
Yeah? I don't know.
We've both talked about this and thought about this a lot, and having raised three very different children from each other, I don't know. I always go with something around fifteen percent. If you're a fairly negative, serious, introverted person, you can maybe squeeze if you're aware of it and you think, Okay, I know this is good for me. I'm going to stretch. I'm going to try to be more like this. Maybe you can get fifteen percent closer to Bill Walton.
I don't know. That's a guess.
Hell, even probably that is inborn to a large extent. You got personality x two different people. One has more of the flexibility gene, and so I don't think.
But the world is full of people, Well, if you want to keep it to sports, the world is full of people who have that sort of injury that had this giant promising career getting injury and they end up drug addicts or in prison or dead. Yeah, because you know, all their dreams were dashed and they can't overcome the setback. And then you got guys like him and and you can move it outside of sports to everything else, whether it's illnesses, a loss of a loved one, loss of the business, career, financial downturn, divorces, whatever.
And yeah, I don't know. I don't know how much the attitude you can control.
I believe all the stuff people say about it's not what happens to you, it's how you react to it. And you know, we really find out our true selves when the chips are down and just all that. I believe all those things, but enacting them is not as simple.
Well no, no, of course, nobody claimed that either. There's a story I read about Bill Walton going back to Portland a few years ago where he started his basketball career and he left after winning the one and only Portland Trail Lasers NBA Championship, and he was flying back and he described why, and he broke down crying because he said, I was young and in pain, and I was unfair to the people of Portland, and I was not the man I should have been. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I'm going back.
To make amends.
And I thought, wow, that far down the road, you're thirty years ago. You disappoints you, and so you're gonna go back and make amends. That's a that's a guy with a different heart and a hell of an interesting outlook on.
Life and a good man.
He also smoked a hell of a lot of gonge. Maybe that helps.
Armstrong and Getty.
On the streets are abroad and the teacher's kid, how.
Went for walk? Getm to long away.
From home.
If I look from.
A villa.
California, I gotta get away California fleeing, I've gotcha get away probably to fifteen seconds per Ai to write that.
And it gives the folks at the Babylon b Yes. Anyway, yeah, you know it's funny. A couple of music geek notes before we move on to the substance of it. I was reminded listening to that attempt at a parody, how exquisite and unbelievably great the Mama's and Papa's records sounded, even though John Phillips was a drug addict and a monster, just beautifully produced.
Anyway, So, speaking of this is.
An unofficial California's crumbling, I guess usually I've got a multiple examples, but this falls squarely into the category of why does anybody have to point this out? Since it's self evident if you have half a brain, as the popular saying goes, I think maybe two thirds of a brain would be required. But it's a piece about how I don't know if you heard about this the famous California minimum wage for fast food workers debacle, but this was a similar measure passed not long ago. That said, by twenty twenty eight, I think it is by ratcheting up slowly, but surely there'd be a twenty five dollars minimum wage.
For healthcare workers. All healthcare workers.
From janitors to know anesthesiology text. I guess, but there's a minimum twenty five dollars minimum wage in healthcare workers. So the Wall Street Journal's writing about how progressives in Sacramento rarely think about twice about burdening businesses, but now they're having second thoughts about this because it's hammering the state. California's Democratic legislature scrambling this week to delay the state's higher healthcare minimum wage.
The state's budget.
Deficit has ballooned to forty five billion dollars, and gaviy K. Newsome projects that the new healthcare minimum wage would cost the state four billion dollars more a year year, owing to hire Medicare costs and compensation, etc. All of the legislative analysis as this was being contemplated said precisely that whoa, whoa, whoa wait, you're going to add enormously to healthcare burdens for consumers, patients and also the state. But they signed it into law anyway, and now they're trying desperately to roll it back or change it in one way or another to save money anyway, And I love this. Mister Newsom is proposing to tie health worker minimum wage increases, which remember, were a matter of human rights and dignity and people deserve to make this money. Now they're saying they want to tie the increases.
To the state's general fund.
Oh and to exempt state facilities from having to pay the minimum wage. It's like in the fast food restaurant thing. The California's new twenty bucks an hour fast food minimum wage accepts any who serves fast food on government property because they didn't want to interfere with government concession licenses or make it more expensive for like state workers to eat.
Ah.
Well, so well that's interesting because if you're saying you didn't want to make it more expensive for state workers to eat, you're admitting that the price of the food will go up with these new minimum wage things. I thought just the rich owners of these places were going to absorb.
These costs, right exactly. I mean it's so transparently. Everything we've said it is all along, and now that there's a budget crunch, the Governor's like, whoa, well, hey, this is going to make healthcare way too expensive. So yeah, yeah, that minimum wage stuff, we got to rethink that.
Well, I was talking about what my ice cream cost at Basking Robbins.
Are they a fast food place?
Are they?
Are those girls making twenty dollars an hour? Now, that can't turn.
There's so many political carve outs, I've lost track of who's what.
But maybe that's I mean, you got inflation. Inflation since Joe took office cumulative is almost twenty percent. It's just under twenty percent. So however, whatever your net worth was, it's twenty percent less than you thought it was twenty freaking percent.
That's a lot.
That's like I'm going to retire at a different age. A lot. It's extraordinary.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, haven't you heard the panels on CNN and MSNBC where they're explaining that consumers are wrong. The job market is hot, the stock market's up, the economy shows great signs of growth, and inflation's actually down. Why this misperception about inflation. Inflation's down.
Boy, that's the real way you can talk about inflation being down. Okay, so it's gonna stop. It's not stopping. It's still above the target, but it's going to stop now. And I only.
Lost twenty percent of my net worth.
Oh my god.
Yeah, I realized this doesn't exactly scare with the First Amendment. But I would like to go person by person on those panels and have them explain, you know, just a very very basis of inflation and prices, and if they get it wrong, they're banned from any sort of broadcasting including streaming, no podcasting, nothing, So.
You're not even allowed to text your friends.
Oh the reason I brought that up in the basket Robins.
I don't know if it's the inflation that the ice cream is so high, that's part of it, but maybe the shocking price I paid for it on Saturday night was the new twenty dollars minimum wage.
It's it's certainly possible. Yeah, I was a shout out to Mike the attorney. Mike the lawyer from Chicago who's he and his bride are vacationing. Is stopped by the house and we had a nice dinner and played some golf and it was absolutely terrific. But he's a lifelong Illinois in my home state, and for various business reasons and such, he and his wife were going to stay there probably till they retire. But he mentioned that he'd heard me call Illinois Illifornia the other day and he said, essentially, you're dead on same reason, same Poula sees same results, and it's just it's a shame. It's you know, politically, it's frustrating just because seeing voters choose bad ideas over good ideas over and over is just it. It makes you want to bang your head against the wall. But it's screwing so many good people. So, you know, I guess if there's a lesson for everybody in non communist states, it's that if this craft starts to creep in, man get out there and vote and do something about it. Because once it kind of snowballs, and once, for instance, the public employee unions have so much power that they are running your state capital, you're screwed.
There's nothing you can do.
Well, like, I missed this one. This just happened a dozen days ago. As of May thirteenth, this is just a couple weeks ago. Door dash delivery drivers in California earn twenty dollars per hour, which is the new standard, which is sixteen percent higher than the national average. So the estimated total pay range for door dash livery drivers in California is between twenty and twenty eight dollars per hour. It's also based on your local something or other, which doesn't I don't really make any sense. But it either is worth it for you to be a door dash driver or it's not right.
And if it's not, don't do it. You know, it's funny. I was just you've read my mind. I was about to kick myself for going even this far down the road on the argument. It's like my favorite metaphor is, let's see, all right, we're not getting her along with our next door neighbor, and so Judy and I propose to Judy, well, why don't we murder him and we'll dispose of his body, will bury him in a shallow grave over there.
Blah blah blah blah blah.
And I go so far, and she starts arguing with me about what shovel would be proper, or you know, whether the soil actually subsiding. No no, no, no, no, yeah, gotta stop it.
How about we murder him.
So, if you're making the arguments down the road, you've missed a point. And obviously the we ought to murder him on this is the governor strokes his chin and says workers in this sector should make nineteen dollars an hour.
And in this sector here twenty three fifty you.
Know, swait a minute, that's your moment where you say, what are we doing here?
I tell Unicornia.
Sometimes I'm heartened because I don't know what percentages of what people believe various things. But I was just on a Reddit thread getting ready for this discussion about the whole door dash thing, and there was a door dash driver complaining about how little they make, and the pushback on the Reddit thread from all the people of explaining how well you'd make this much if you'd worked this many hours, or if you're making more money at Uber, which the guy claimed, then work more hours for Uber and less hours for anyway. There was a lot of pushback from realists or people who understand a free market and not a door dash somehow, oz you the ability to make a living. A lot of people making the point at DoorDash was a blip during COVID where it had a certain business model that doesn't exist anymore and may never exist again. And perhaps DoorDash will go away, Maybe it just doesn't work as an idea, maybe not enough people are willing to do it, but who knows. But it's not guaranteed to be a good living forever right right.
The insidious and shockingly popular, at least in places like kell, Unicorneia, idea that everybody employed at every job should be able to support themselves in their family by doing that job is just that's unprecedented in human history. I show up at you widgets amalgamated and say, look, I got no skills, and frankly, I'm not very bright. All I can do is stuff that if it takes more than five minutes to explain it, I'm never gonna grasp it. So if you need me to move that brick from that corner of the room to the other corner of the room, over and over again, I can do that. But that's all I can do. The idea that that brick mover would make enough be paid enough money to support a family in a very expensive part of the country. By the way, where where does that notion come from?
My friends? Well, how about what gave you that idea?
How about something like door dash that sprung up and during the pandemic when the only way you could eat it a restaurant was door to door dash, and so drivers would get, you know whatever, one hundred orders a day.
And now you're getting four. Well, there's nothing anybody can do about that.
The pandemic's over, and a lot of people have decided, you know, they like to eat at the restaurant, or they're not willing to pay that much to have it delivered.
That's just the way it is. The idea that the state is now going.
To come in and force a certain wage to keep door dash afloat, even if it's not an idea that works outside of the pandemic, is nuts.
It's like if in nineteen forty six, makers of combat boots had complained that, hey, look, we just we're not getting nearly as many orders for combat boots as when the entire country was mobilized, in fact, the whole f worlds. So therefore our workers, you get it up their wages. The government asked, the mandate they make twenty bucks an hour?
What right?
People who made cassette tapes. People aren't buying cassette tapes like they used to. You need to government tax or something so we can. Yeah, well, nobody wants them anymore. Maybe people don't want door dashing, you I don't know. But the idea that we're going to force people to make certain amounts of money it's I don't know's it's popular in California.
If human beings Americans voters had the most basic knowledge of micro and macroeconomics. Micro being you know, personal or a business or whatever. Macroeconomics how an economy works. And I'm just talking about the very, very basics. How much would that change our politics? If universally people scoffed at the idea of a Gavin Newsom artificially setting a wage for healthcare workers, how would that change our politics?
Mia, What a beautiful dream.
My oldest who's out of private school, is getting such good instruction on this sort of stuff, and it's just all good for him.
Yeah, there is no way in hell the teachers' unions would permit that in a lot of public school systems.
The Pope has apologized for using a slang word referring to gay men in a uncharitable way.
Go come on, Pope, wake up?
Did he use the F word or I don't know, I don't look into it and other stuff on the way. Stay with us.
Trial might be ending, but the campaign is just beginning. Sources tell us former President Trump will vent his grievances regardless of the outcome, and President Biden, he will shine more of a light on Trump's conduct.
So there you go.
I hate the mainstream media so much. That's Robert Costa on CBS. Both both presidents are going to speak after the trial. But you see, Trump's going to vent his grievances, whereas the current president is just going to shine a light on Trump's behavior.
What the hell I know.
So if the jurors say there's nothing to this and Trump comes out and says it was bogus all along, that's venting grievances as opposed to something.
Shining a light right exactly, Wow, above it all that Joe Biden will do. Anyway, we speaking of shining lights, smoking gun, smoking gun on the COVID origin cover up.
Next hour, So.
The closing arguments are going on right now in the Trump trial, and the jury's supposed to get the case today or tomorrow. And you know, we don't have any idea if they're going to deliberate for half an hour or two months.
I don't have any idea.
Yeah, judge said the closing arguments might be quite lengthy and might.
Really okay, Yeah, different different say different things.
That's certainly true.
I was looking at this polling, though, is Trump guilty of a crime in the New York Case's?
You gov? Poll?
Ah?
Boy, you want to quibble with Poles? How about that one.
I'd like to ask each individual person how much they understand what the case is and what it would take to be guilty or not right. I've been following this thing like crazy, and I don't still don't completely understand what they're trying to accomplish is true. And I know most people aren't following it at all. But they asked the question, is Trump guilty of crime in the New York case? Ninety three percent of Democrats say yes.
Oh boy, They've examined the evidence, listen to the testimony, blah blah blah.
Seventy eight percent of Republicans say no.
Oh they disagree.
It's almost exactly fifty to fifty for independence. So yeah, right, Like I said earlier, what's the best way out of this for America?
I really think, not not like putting a thumb on the scale for Trump or whatever.
I really think the best thing for America is as hung jury or acquittal and just we put it behind us and we move on and not have this have anything to do with the presidential election. I wouldn't say the same thing about the document's case if that were going to uh happen.
Yeah.
My only argument would be that since this is so clearly a political prosecution and just utterly indefensible, I would love to see a conviction, then a quick overturning by a liberal appeals court.
Saying, hey, this is totally uncool.
So people couldn't claim Trump appointed conservative maga judges. If overturned that that might be good. But I'm not gonna get my wish either way.
So I mentioned the Pope.
Pope Is apologized for using an offensive slang word. I don't speak Italian, but apparently in a closed door meeting with other bishops, the Pope is taking questions from Italian bishop's meeting for their annual assembly on a number of issues. When the question of whether or not to admit openly gay men into seminaries came.
Up, age old question in the Catholic Church.
According to several people president the meeting who speak Italian, Francis said no, saying the seminaries are already too full of froguccini, an offensive.
Slang whoa fro guccini? Easy man?
I don't know how you say the word, but it's something because recently he kind of hinted that perhaps they would start having gay priests, and people made a big deal of that. And what a forward thinking, open minded, progressive pope we have behind closed doors, he says, we already got too many froguccinis.
What wow, wow, that's little somethings. Uh yeah, yeah, the pope.
Did you see any of the sixty minutes interview last week?
To watch it? I couldn't bring myself to watch.
I watched the beginning and the old farts says some of the effect of you know, some people say Italy gave the US, the mafia in Ireland gave him drunks, Like, was that an attempt at humor? It's not even that's terrible.
He stop it.
He's too much of a social justice warrior for my taste.
So oh yeah, yeah yeah.
So doctor Fauci was in on the origin of COVID and worked hard to cover it up, smoking gun comtro and
