1. Inflation and Media Presentation

The episode opens with a discussion on the recent inflation figures and how different media outlets, particularly CNN, are presenting the news.

• Inflation Report: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicated an annual inflation rate of 2.8%, marking a slowdown for the first time in four months.

  "US Inflation slowed in February for first time in four months." [12:26]

• Media Spin: Jack Armstrong criticizes CNN for potentially presenting the slowdown in inflation as a success for the Trump administration, suggesting bias in how the news is framed.

  "If CNN hadn't somehow gotten into airports, would they even still be in business?" [00:48]

• Economic Concerns: Both hosts express skepticism about the long-term impact of tariffs and trade policies under the Trump administration, questioning their effects on small and large businesses.

2. Black Lives Matter Plaza Removal

The hosts delve into the political motivations behind dismantling the Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C.

• Plaza Dismantling: House Republicans pressured Mayor Muriel Bowser to remove the plaza, which featured bold yellow lettering supporting Black Lives Matter.

  "They were advertising a Marxist organization that is bent on overthrowing the United States." [02:37]

• Propaganda and Labels: The discussion highlights the conflation of sentiment with the organization, portraying Black Lives Matter as a Marxist group intent on destabilizing the U.S.

  "They are criminals." [04:21]

3. Russian Influence and Disinformation

A significant portion of the episode focuses on Russian strategies to influence American internal affairs through disinformation.

• Geopolitical Disorder: Referencing Alexander Dugin’s ideas, the speakers discuss Russia's intent to foster internal conflicts within the U.S. by supporting extremist and separatist groups.

  "Russia should introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity... destabilizing internal political processes in the US." [04:59]

• Social Media Impact: Armstrong observes the prevalence of Russian bots and influenced commentators on platforms like Twitter, emphasizing the challenge of countering such disinformation.

  "Every sort of dissent and dissidents and anger they want to fuel all the time. That's the strategy." [06:22]

4. Immigration Policies and DHS Communication

The conversation shifts to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts and the Department of Homeland Security’s messaging.

• DHS Messaging: A spokesperson for DHS, Kristi Noem, delivers a stern message about deporting illegal immigrants, emphasizing strict enforcement and consequences for lawbreakers.

  "Under President Trump, America's borders are closed to lawbreakers. Follow the law and you'll find opportunity. Break it and you'll find consequences." [07:54]

• Economic Implications: The hosts discuss concerns from the business community regarding the reliance on immigrant labor and the potential economic fallout if immigration enforcement is intensified.

  "Everybody knows there's millions of illegals and they're filling millions and millions of jobs in industry and hotels and hospitality." [09:04]

5. Critique of Academic Gender Studies

A substantial segment criticizes contemporary gender studies and related academic research, mocking its complexity and perceived lack of scientific rigor.

• Satirical Analysis: The hosts examine a mock academic paper titled "Queer Canine Becomings: Lesbian Feminist, Cyborg Politics and Interspecies Intimacies in Ecologies of Love and Violence," ridiculing its convoluted terminology and concepts.

  "Do we need another study of that? Don't we all kind of feel like we played this game yesterday with a lecture series?" [24:59]

• Perception of Academia: Armstrong and Getty portray social sciences, especially those focused on gender and sexuality, as tools for ideological conquest rather than genuine scientific inquiry.

  "It's a tool for conquest. It's a tool for taking over institutions." [29:20]

6. Gavin Newsom and Transgender Policies in Prisons

The episode critiques California Governor Gavin Newsom’s policies regarding transgender inmates, highlighting alleged negative consequences.

• Legislative Impact: Newsom's signing of SB132, which mandates housing inmates based on gender identity, is scrutinized for enabling convicted male felons to occupy female correctional facilities, leading to reported sexual assaults.

  "In 2020, Covid dictator Newsom... signed SB132, the transgender respect Agency and Dignity Law, a law mandating that inmates in California correctional facilities be housed on the basis of their gender identity." [20:05]

• Case Study: The rape trial in Chowchilla, California, involving a man who identified as a woman, is discussed as a direct fallout of these policies.

  "Tremaine Carroll... raped three women allegedly in the Central Californians women's facility in Chowchilla, California." [21:36]

7. Conspiracy Theories and JFK Assassination Files

Towards the episode’s conclusion, Armstrong and Getty address conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination and the alleged suppression of related files.

• Tucker Carlson’s Claims: The hosts reference Tucker Carlson's assertions that Senator Tom Cotton is obstructing the release of JFK assassination files to protect certain intelligence interests.

  "Republican Senator Tom Cotton has been working behind the scenes to block the release of the JFK assassination files." [32:45]

• Refutations and Confusion: The speakers express confusion and skepticism over the purported connections between various conspiracy theories, including Epstein and alleged pedophile rings, questioning the coherence of these narratives.

  "What is even the theory that like Tucker believes we're hiding? What are we hiding?" [34:26]

8. Conclusion and Future Topics

The episode wraps up with a preview of upcoming discussions, including potential topics like a ceasefire in Ukraine, Elon Musk’s ventures, and more intricate political analyses.

"In hour three, we'll get into the ceasefire using my finger quotes... and then we'll also get into the whole White House lawn being a Tesla dealership..." [31:37]

Transcript

[Jack Armstrong]

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio.

[Joe Getty]

Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Unknown Speaker]

A New York longevity clinic has announced recently it will offer a $250,000 annual membership that includes anti aging treatments. You ever notice how to only super wealthy people who want to live longer? That's why anti aging treatments are a quarter million dollars, but a Taco Bell supreme lux box is 5.99. Here's a 10. Take me out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not even sure I get that.

[Unknown Speaker]

So a lot of what drives news cycles is, is the way a story is presented or, or the way it gets spun and how it catches on. I think this is good news for the current administration that the inflation numbers are out. It's down. It's a tiny amount, but it beat expectations, whatever that means. But here's how CNN is presenting it and this has got it. But Trump's got to be happy to see this. US Inflation slowed in February for first time in four months. I mean, that's a good headline for a administration that's two months old.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yeah, particularly given the concerns about the tariff stuff and trade stuff, that it might drive up prices. Yeah, it's a good, it good.

[Unknown Speaker]

But if you're barely paying attention, which is probably the CNN viewer at the airport, you know, seeing that inflation has slowed for the first time, you'd have to think, well, I guess Trump's doing a good job.

[Jack Armstrong]

If CNN hadn't somehow gotten into airports, would they even still be in business?

[Unknown Speaker]

Good question. That is a good one.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, I rarely find myself with the urge to go there.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Jack Armstrong]

Coming up, what may be the greatest hilariously self beclowning academic paper in the history, and it's a rich, rich history, friends of this sort of thing coming up later in the hour. Cool. And did you have something else you wanted to mention or. That was it. Okay, good. So I in particular was highly skeptical last hour. What you missed last hour, grab it via podcast Armstrong. You get it on demand. Subscribe. Anyway, I was highly skeptical about the current whipsaw e tariff stuff going on under Trump these days. Worried about what it's going to do to the economy and business, small business and big business, and where it all ends and what his plan is.

[Unknown Speaker]

Having said that, my 401k, you know, anybody who says that or any reporters who say that they're, they're either morons or deliberately being misleading. Yeah, yeah, anytime. Not just with this, with any with anything. Looking at your 401k today. Who's looking at the 401k every day and why?

[Jack Armstrong]

If you want to make a wry joke about my 401k is a 301k, okay, that's fine. But yeah, to talk seriously about a day to day is insanity. But there are a handful of other things going on that I think are absolutely wonderful. And, you know, I just, I hope we can get a lot done, we, the sane in America, you know, before, I don't know, some of the rapid, rapid change, maybe Disrael derails us. Anyway. Washington, D.C. crews have begun dismantling the Black Lives matter Plaza in D.C. which will be replaced with project celebrating America's 250th anniversary that includes artwork by local artists. This comes after House Republicans pressured the Communist mayor, Muriel Bowser, to remove the plaza, which features bold yellow yellow lettering spelling Black Lives Matter advertising a Marxist organization that is bent on overthrowing the United States.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, always separating the sentiment from the organization, but generally, you know, it's the organization that you're seeing on signs and that sort of thing. We were talking about an old radio colleague yesterday, and we're wondering if he's still alive. And I googled him real quick and found his Twitter feed. And he's got a Black Lives Matter thing on, you know, pinned on his avatar. Like, what? Do you not follow the news? They're criminals.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, no kidding. And avowed Marxists. Which reminds me, I was gonna get into something else right now, but this is. It fits so beautifully. It's, it's Somebody summarizing a 1997 book, the Foundations of Geopolitics by Alexander Duggan Dugan, who wrote it's about Russia. And, and they're. What would you call it? You know, I hate that misinformation. Disinformation has been so abused. But they're, they're psyops against their opponents around the world. And they've been famous for it from, you know, Soviet times through modern times are very, very aggressive about it. But here's the quote from the book. Russia should introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements, extremist, racist and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the US it would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics. And then a learned commenter commented, I once interviewed a US military analyst whose focus was Russian influence campaigns. And one of the most Surprising things he told me was that Russia doesn't push Americans to the left or right. I would interject. Or toward Trump or Hillary or whatever. Or even in a pro Russian direction. Rather, it pushes Americans in all directions. Every sort of dissent and dissidents and anger they want to fuel all the time. That's the strategy. Anyway. I thought that was interesting. Getting back to the. I'm sorry, do you want to comment on that before we move on?

[Unknown Speaker]

No. It's troubling and I just, I wonder, I wonder if we're clever enough to resist that bounce around social media. I would say no.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. I think. And I see Russian bots and Russian influenced commentators on Twitter all the time. And it's been successful to the extent that. And if you're ever on social media, first of all, stop. And I should too. You will see people who agree on 87% of everything. Absolutely. In a brutal knife fight over that last 13%. And that is the Russian goal. Absolutely true. Moving along, Tom Holman, the ass kicking border czar, has said he wants 200 work site checks for illegal immigrants every week. 200 a week across the country to begin enforcing immigration law. You know what's shocking? That this is at all shocking.

[Unknown Speaker]

Right. That we don't enforce immigration law, that Congress passes laws and then we don't pay any attention to them.

[Jack Armstrong]

And even more than that, we act as if it's abhorrent and bizarre.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

To enforce the law.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. And some cities, counties or states say how dare you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which reminds me. Clip 70 Michael, this is Kristi Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security. Secretary, I think is the technical term looking disconcertingly glamorous in this message paid for by the dhs.

[Joe Getty]

I'm Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for securing our border, for deporting criminal illegal immigrants, and for putting America first. President Trump has a clear message for those that are in our country illegally. Leave now. If you don't, we will find you and we will deport you. You will never return. For too long, weak politicians left our borders wide open. They flooded our communities with drugs, human trafficking and violent criminals. They put American lives at risk. Well, those days are over. If you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream. But understand this. Under President Trump, America's borders are closed to lawbreakers. Follow the law and you'll find opportun. Break it and you'll find consequences. The choice is yours. America welcomes those who respect our laws because a strong nation is a safe nation.

[Unknown Speaker]

Music is going to give me a panic attack.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's inspired me. I'm waving a flag right now. That was an official message of the Department of Homeland Security.

[Unknown Speaker]

Is that a message to illegals or is that a message to everyone that look what we're accomplishing?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Unknown Speaker]

Gotcha.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, Yeah. I think both absolutely true. And so the concern. And again, this is not. If you're new to the show, you maybe don't get this yet. I'm neither going to cheerlead 100% of the time for Trump nor criticism. Criticize him 100%. And the policies in his administration doesn't make any sense. The concern in the business community is that everybody's kind of agreed we need lots and lots of immigrant labor and there's no time to fill out the paperwork. And everybody knows there's millions of illegals and they're filling millions and millions of jobs in industry and hotels and hospitality. We're all kind of in on this together. And now you're going to yank them out all of a sudden. That is going to really hurt the economy. We'll have to find out. Ah, and that's this. The head of the EPA, the new guy, Lee Zeldin, has canceled 400 DEI and environmental justice grants and saves nearly $2 billion. 400 DEI, which is Marxism and environmental justice grants. I say good for you, sir. Good for you. So that's progress towards sanity. Love it. And the Trump administration. Oh, I should have done this. After the other immigration story, they have launched the Biden administration's CBP1 app. That's the. Hey, welcome to the U.S. immigration system. Here's your appointment. To come and apply for asylum and then disappear into the country and never be seen again and live without consequence. They've turned it into a self deportation tool. They have relaunched the Biden administration smartphone application. It will now offer several features, including allowing illegal aliens to declare an intent to self deport and leave the country. The new app will still allow non immigrant aliens to apply for non immigrant aliens. What does that mean? To apply for and pay FEES for an I94 temporary travel permit, allowing visitors to travel beyond 25 miles from the border, blah, blah, blah. In addition, the app will allow commercial importers to request inspections for blah, blah, blah. But mostly it's an intent to deport yourself. It was what Kristi Noem was saying. Tell us you're here and go and we'll talk about you coming back. You don't do this, you can never come back again. Once we find you, we'll have to see. Cool. The bottleneck's gonna be the immigration courts and hearings and cause that's all required by law. There aren't nearly enough to process millions and millions of people. But that can change, too.

[Unknown Speaker]

A lot of good stuff to talk about today. Firing half of the Department of Education employees yesterday they announced which we'll see what that means or is going to do.

[Jack Armstrong]

Came across end of education. That's what I heard on msnbc.

[Unknown Speaker]

And we'll answer the question is there life after death? Which probably should have led with that. Wow. Sebastian Younger, who we've had on the show before, great author. He's got a new book out about that because he had that experience. I was going to tell you about that. And maybe we can get him on for a podcast someday or something because it's. That's some interesting stuff. Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

I would love to. Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

All on the way. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is CNN Breaking news. We begin this hour with the breaking news. A key report on inflation gives fresh encouragement to Americans increasingly very worried about the state of the U.S. economy. The consumer price index shows annual inflation at 2.8%. The first time it has slowed in some four months.

[Unknown Speaker]

How about that CNN not trying to spin it somehow in a negative way.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. It appears they've decided to veer back towards something like reasonable news coverage as opposed to partisan advocacy for. For now.

[Unknown Speaker]

Anyway. That's the inflation news of the day. We got a bunch of. You got all the tariff stuff going on at the same time and who knows what that's going to do to inflation or whatever. More on that later. So I cut the last part of this interview yesterday and we gotta have him on for a podcast. I would love to talk to Sebastian Younger about that. I was trying to remember how did he become. Get on everybody's radar?

[Jack Armstrong]

He.

[Unknown Speaker]

His original bit. Well, maybe you remember. You remember his original big one, A Perfect Storm. The Perfect Storm was his original big one, which got some perfect Storms, which is. A lot of people have seen the movie. If you haven't read the book. It is something. Um. Anyway, he also did Tribe, which we liked and a number of other things and has done a lot of war correspondent and been in a lot of dangerous parts of the world. And I was unaware of this new book that he's got called In My Time of Dying. See, he's hanging out at home with his family when all of a sudden he starts feeling really bad. Is Rushed to the hospital, Turns out he's having some sort of aneurysm I'd never heard of, which very few people survive and he barely did. He's at the hospital. He starts slipping away. In the blurb for his book, he says, worth pointing out a confirmed lifelong atheist who grew up as an atheist himself and he's not religious now, but still, as an atheist, you don't tend to believe in this sort of thing. He's slipping away there at the hospital and he was visited by his dead dad, who said, it's okay, there's nothing to be scared of. I'll take care of you. That's the last thing he remembers until he came to the next day when he is told he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm, that few survive. And since then he has done a deep dive on the scientific philosophical question of is there something after we die? And all kinds of people who've had similar experiences and all that sort of stuff, which I find interesting. He is definitely a believer. There's more now, and he was talking about it and the way he presented it, and I thought this was really interesting. I don't remember if it's him or the host. This idea of we look at the world the way a dog looks at the TV screen. The dog has no idea that there's so much going on behind that TV screen to make that happen, that it's being piped in for somewhere else. And there's actors and a script and all these different things. It just, you know, that's the world to that dog. That. That's the way it is for us. The reality we're seeing is just the, like the veneer over something much bigger on the other side of it that we'll all become aware of once we pass along. And I find that notion fascinating. I believe. I actually do believe there's something like that. But we got to have him on for a podcast or something.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah. My gosh. What could be more compelling than that?

[Unknown Speaker]

Very few things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Oh, well, I have a number of thoughts on the topic, but very little time to express them, so I will. What's that phrase? Maintain my own counsel.

[Unknown Speaker]

Do you. Do you have a science.

[Jack Armstrong]

Shut up in old timey talk.

[Unknown Speaker]

Are you gonna go with some sort of scientific explanation for why, if we get enough blood cut off, we, I don't know, miss our dead relatives or something? I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

In virtually the same way, through all of human history, seeing those who've gone before us, welcoming us, I Mean, that's, that's a little universal an experience to be a coincidence. Says the logical part of my brain.

[Unknown Speaker]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I, I am fully, flamingly agnostic on this question and fascinated by it.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm not. And if you don't agree with me, you're clearly wrong.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay. And a heretic who should die. Yes. Sorry to finish your sentence for you, but. So one of the all time hilarious, self beclowning fake science university research papers I've ever come across in a couple of minutes. Plus, boy, the gals on that view are stupid. I mean, I hate to shake it, but there's.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, that's not. Breaking news.

[Jack Armstrong]

Dumb as hell, boy.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Gettysburg.

[Unknown Speaker]

When you come in and you say, oh, you know these men, these are men, you know, competing against women, competing against women, you're assuming that the women are weak and just can't do anything except be here. Have you seen female athletes? They know what they're doing. So I'm not sure what's going on or why this is an issue.

Please keep doing that. That's Whoopi Goldberg on the View. Do it. Come on, it's Gavin Whoopi. All y'all on that side. Keep fighting that fight. Die on that hill. Fantastic. Take it all the way, you morons. How do you. First of all, I don't know how you get to that point of view, but secondly, you don't see the polling on a such a minor issue too. It's such a minor issue, it doesn't happen that often. It's just so crazy and stupid and dangerous that, you know, we all hate it. Right? It's not well worth having your party lose election after election over.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. I would agree that. I just think that illustrates the delusion that these super fringy again, neo Marxist critical theory issues have become so accepted in such a required part of the, you know, the catechism of the American left right now. Something as absurd and indefensible as men competing and beating the crap out of women on the sports field. They'll die on that hill, as you say. It's insane. And I want to get to, I mean that that argument was so devoid of anything to even worth be worth arguing about. It's just an illustration of how stupid Whoopi Goldberg is, I think. Anyway, I want to get to Gavin Newsom's actual history on this stuff in a second. But it's worth pointing out, in the hundred meter dash, the women's world records are equaled by 15 year old boys 200 meters. The women's world record is equaled by 14 year old boys, 400 meters, 14 year old boys on through 800 meters, 14 year olds, thousand meters, 15 year olds, etc. Every single woman's record has been tied or bested by a 14 or 15 year old lad. Not even full grown to male strength. Anybody who's ever run into a strong boy knows it's not the same as a strong man.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I understand your point, but I was at my son's volleyball game the other day. It was funny watching the high school volleyball dudes. I mean, there are some saying to somebody, well, I hope his kids are here watching him play because he's really doing a good job. I mean, he looked like he was 30. It's funny how some people develop so much faster.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, yeah. And by the time you're 18, I mean, that's one of my points is there's a difference. But anyway, so great piece by John Girardi in the National Review. Don't be fooled. Gavin Newsom is no moderate on trans issues. I just don't think he has any beliefs whatsoever. But as they noted last week, Newsom is not likely to actually reverse any California laws that allow students to participate in sports on the basis of gender identity. And the commentary largely understand that his change of heart is transparently insincere. But we should also note, John writes, that Newsom's record of signing far more harmful legislation to house males in women's correctional facilities with predictably devastating consequences. Consequences that are on full display in a central California rape trial. I love this writing. In 2020, Covid dictator Newsom took a break from destroying businesses, permanently setting back public school achieve and violating California's free exercise rights to sign SB132, the transgender respect Agency and Dignity Law, a law mandating that inmates in California correctional facilities be housed on the basis of their gender identity. The naivete of thinking that convicted male felons wouldn't immediately exploit this new law in order to rape female inmates was breathtaking. And this, of course, is exactly what happened. And we could go into the awful, awful details of it.

[Unknown Speaker]

I can imagine.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I mean, you got this. Tremaine Carroll, a man who claims to identify as a woman raped three women allegedly in the Central Californians women's facility in Chowchilla, California. The three victims were all former cellmates of Carol, one of whom became pregnant man.

[Unknown Speaker]

And you're, you're a woman in prison. Quite possibly you had a rough life. Your whole life and then all of a sudden you're in jail and they put a rapist dude in there with you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, because he says, I'm a woman now, and the governor believes him.

[Unknown Speaker]

That's like torture. That is like torturing people.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. And one of the reasons, one of a couple of reasons this hasn't generated enormous outrage, because generally speaking, you need to have at least a little bit of buy in from the bigfoot media to really generate enormous outra, is that prisoners, convicts don't get a lot of sympathy. But if somebody, you know, committed tax fraud or sold drugs in their hood or whatever and got busted and did a little bit of time, the idea that a man can check in next to them and rape them, check into the cell with them or next to them and rape, that's horrific. And there is evidence that Carol simply lied. This is the rapist about, quote, unquote, identifying as a woman so he could be housed with women and rape them. He kept the masculine first name Tremaine. He's not undergone or requested any transgender surgeries or hormonal interventions. He had a goatee and is not at all feminine. Mug shop. On top of it all, he'd been charged with prior sex crimes, raping women at gunpoint.

[Unknown Speaker]

That's an interesting point, I guess. But as long as the person has a penis, they shouldn't be in the female prison.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, you're right. I'm not saying at all that that should be the standard. I see your point. That's a good one. What I'm saying, this demonstrates the utter bizarre lack of common sense and regard by Gavin Newsom and his people. Literally, all it takes is you fill out a form, says, I'm a girl now, and you get put in the women's presence. There is a certain percentage of the audience right now, Jack, listening and saying, that can't be. That can't be because it's so insane. I promised you this. Now I'm going to bring it to you. Courtesy of Angie. Who writes what? Did she write something? This is a solid candidate for a Campus Madness or Gender Bending Madness feature here. Or both. Enjoy or drink, whatever, which I thought was funny. And she says, pretty sure it's not written by James Lindsay. Lol. Well, I looked into it and it is actually written by a woman by the name of Chloe Diamond Lenao, who's on the faculty of American University. She is an adjunct professorial lecturer in Women's and Gender Studies. Here's your title. Queer Canine Becomings. Lesbian Feminist, Cyborg Politics and Interspecies Intimacies in Ecologies of Love and Violence. Now, as if that wasn't mouthful enough.

[Unknown Speaker]

So that's women having sex with dogs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, no, no, no, you bigot and misogynist. And printing over there. Oh, let's see. So that's the title. Queer Canine Becomings Lesbian Feminist Cyborg Politics and Interspecies Intimacies and Ecologies of Love and Violence.

[Unknown Speaker]

Again, that's the title.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's the abstract which describes what they're studying.

[Unknown Speaker]

This whole trope.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do we need another study of that? Don't we all kind of feel like we played this game yesterday with a lecture series? This is. The soft sciences are fake sciences. There are hardly sciences at all. In fact, they occasionally poll people. But the idea that social science is a science is a stretch, but.

[Unknown Speaker]

And what are you going to play.

[Jack Armstrong]

This game where you count on your fingers and your toes and Katie, you get to play along again if you want. How many terms and or phrases you hear that you have no idea what they are. All right, here we go. Now, this is going to take a second, but enjoy. This article offers a queer lesbian feminist analysis attuned to lesbian queer trans canine relationships. Specifically, the article places queer and lesbian eco feminism in conversation with Donna Haraway's work on the cyborg what Now? And companion species to theorize the interconnected queer becomings of people, nature, animals and machines amidst ecologies of love and violence in the 2000s. It takes two key case studies as the focus for analysis. First, the state instrument Instrumentalization of dogs and robot dogs for racialized and imperial violence. And second, quote, quotidian, queer and lesbian dog relationships and becomings. Keep in mind, this is not a joke. Well, it is, but it's not in the first. The article traces how dogs are weaponized as tools of state violence and proposes a queer lesbian feminist critique of white supremacy and militarization that can also extend.

[Unknown Speaker]

You got some white supremacy in there. Turned it racial?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah, I worked it in Midway. Yeah. And militarization. That can also extend to a critique of the violence committed through and toward the dogs. In the second, the article analyzes how within lesbian, non binary and trans dog intimacies. Is that like a transgender dog or is this what happens? My dog got his balls removed, but he's not a woman. He's still a male dog. Katie just is just exhausted by this.

[Unknown Speaker]

I just.

I almost want to try to read it. I mean, I'm sure I couldn't get very far, but I almost want to try to read It.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know, Katie, as the kids say, I can't even.

[Unknown Speaker]

I can't even.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, let's see. I gotta finish it in the second. The article analyzes how within lesbian, non binary and trans dog intimacies, dogs help articulate queer gender, sexuality and kinship formations, and as such, queer worlds for gender, sexual and kin becomings. The entanglements of violence and love in these queer dog relationalities provides insights into the complexities of queer and lesbian feminist world building. Lesbian and queer feminist cyborg politics can help theorize the potentials and challenges of these interspecies entanglements.

[Unknown Speaker]

Have you forwarded this to James Lindsay? Somebody needs to forward this to Lindsay and say, is this you or is this real?

[Jack Armstrong]

It really, really. It just came out a few days ago. Published by an actual woman who is an actual lecture professor on the east coast.

[Unknown Speaker]

Now we pointed out yesterday that the great Jim James Lindsay, who he and his friends have written books about. What's going on here is it's supposed to be confusing to you. You're supposed to not understand it. That gives them power and that you feel dumb. Katie was talking about this yesterday. It used to work this way on me too. I don't anymore, but it used to be this way on me too. I'd hear this sort of stuff and I'd feel dumb. So then you just kind of shut up and let them talk. But that's the whole point, is for it to be so confusing and have so many terms and phrases, you don't know what they mean, that you just. You give them the power of getting to speak.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly, because it's not academia. It's a tool for conquest. It's a tool for taking over institutions.

[Unknown Speaker]

I believe that that is 100% true, that sort of thing. But like the person who wrote that, did they know they're doing that or do they think all that crap is real and significant?

[Jack Armstrong]

Probably the latter, although they're 100% down with the former as well. Little both. Man, that is so crazy. This is like insanely elaborate crazy, but like the bedrock crazy that so many people caught on to, except soft headed white ladies mostly. Is that the idea that you're a racist. And if you deny you're a racist, that proves you're a racist. And if you admit you're a racist, that proves you're a racist. And anybody with two brain cells to rub together is like, oh, I see what this is. It's trap, right?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Heads I win, tails you lose.

[Unknown Speaker]

There were like three instances in there where it sounded like they, these people were having relationships with dogs. That's what I thought. Robot dogs and cyborgs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Anyway, but so my point is both in that ultra simple to understand trap and the super complex. I don't know what these words mean, so I'll shut up. Trap, the desire is the same. You obey. That's their only goal. You obey them when they tell you this is the way it's got to be. That's the connection to Marxism. And read, you know, Lindsay and Pluckrose's cynical theories. It explains it brilliantly and in a way that's easy to understand.

[Unknown Speaker]

So do you have the actual paper? If you could that forward that to me, I would. I'm going to try to read some of it. I don't know how far I'll get.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't know. Read this article. I think I need to sign in through like my university or something.

[Unknown Speaker]

Wow, that is so crazy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey, hey, is there somebody who can, who has access to these scholarly papers, has like sign in credentials that I can borrow to, to read this thing? Email us mailbagarmstrongandgetty.com you're a poor beleaguered sane person working for a university. Again, it' mailbag at armstrong and getty.com.

[Unknown Speaker]

And then you send your kid to one of these expensive places and get taught by this person. Nice. More on the way. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Unknown Speaker]

So in hour three, we'll get into the ceasefire using my finger quotes. I don't know if this is going to happen or not, but Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire and now it's up to Russia where they agree in some update on Russia's economy, which is really quite amazing and all that sort of stuff. And then we'll also get into the whole White House lawn being a Tesla dealership, at least for an afternoon, and talking about all that with Elon Trump getting a new car. Tesla becoming the maga hat of cars in the last couple of weeks. But we'll talk about that in hour three.

[Jack Armstrong]

Who saw that?

[Unknown Speaker]

No kidding.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't mean to be flip, but the quote unquote ceasefire is a ceasefire. In the same way that if I announced I was going to become an artist, I could talk about my art career. And by the way, if I try to draw a cat, you'll think it's a bear. So I'm terrible. No, we have no ceasefire. Anyway, Brett Bear was talking to Tom Cotton last night about his fabulous book, 7 things you can't say about China. Really good. Really Good stuff. But a couple of other oddball things came up and thought this was intriguing.

[Unknown Speaker]

Daily Mail article. Tucker Carlson has claimed that Republican Senator Tom Cotton has been working behind the scenes to block the release of the JFK assassination files. In a conversation with Chris Crom, Carlson claimed the Arkansas lawmaker prevented a key intelligence hire in the Trump Cabinet in order to stop the full release of the classified documents. Your response?

It's false. I have no problem. I have no problem releasing the JFK files. Tucker could have called or texted me. He has texted me multiple times in recent weeks and asked me. I would have told him that. I've never spoken to President Trump or any of his associates or administration officials about the JFK files. I've never objected to someone taking office because of their position on the JFK files. I have to say I have complete faith in Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard to carry out President Trump's directive on the JFK files. I'm a little surprised that Tucker Carlson apparently doesn't have faith in those four people, all of whom I think he knows and personally respects, that they're going to carry out President Trump's directive.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Unknown Speaker]

Wow. I'm so trying to. And I know some of you have this worldview because I see your texts and tweets and we get your emails, but I'm trying so hard to wrap my head around the whole there's some secret thing going on and it involves JFK's assassination and Epstein and pedophile ring and all these Jews, the stuff that they're putting in the food, and it all fits in the Jews and it all fits together and they're all like. And like the JFK assassination. What is even the. What is the theory that like Tucker believes we're hiding? What are we hiding?

[Jack Armstrong]

Work in Sasquatch and maybe the Loch Ness monster. Then you got my attention. There is. And I'll bet, I'll bet there are folks listening who could enlighten us about this. There is a business model that is. That reflects the reality that a medium small but intensely engaged audience is more profitable than a broader, less engaged audience as an Internet business model.

[Unknown Speaker]

I get that. But like, I see how pedophile ring, Democrats, Epstein files. No Epstein files. All fits together. Where's the JFK assassination fit in? I mean, what does.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's the cabal of evildoers behind the scenes. It's just, it's one more data point in that broad narrative.

[Unknown Speaker]

And Tucker thinks the CIA or our own government killed jfk. I think. I think that's.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or he thinks it's very profitable to say so. Yes.
