Joe Getty
Yep confirmed by trump's press secretary there will be a press conference putin and trump side by side talking to the media after they discuss tomorrow wowzers looking forward to that.
Jack Armstrong
Crazy to see this drama playing out in front of the scenes yeah at least a lot more than we're used to yeah wow wild well we'll track track it for you and certainly be talking about it on monday as the dust settles so the deep red state of south carolina is in play according to the democrats they've got a good shot at becoming governor and perhaps cracking that red wall in the south one of their great hopes two time charleston county democratic party chairman and current gubernatorial candidate william mcleod junior popular fellow let's listen in to how his campaign is going you wanted to shove too william can i talk to you that's gonna.
Joe Getty
Give you some grace but no slack you ain't getting off yet my guess is your crimes all i get you.
Michaelangelo
Badly.
Joe Getty
Hey terry matthew my flames could start to slow down a little bit man okay so that was silver modulated i couldn't really understand what he was saying what is that what is happening.
Jack Armstrong
Here that was the point he was in the back of a cop car bellowing like a lunatic about something about god's grace but he won't give you any slack your crimes are against humanity then he calms down suddenly and inexplicably in the tradition of drug crazed lunatics everywhere i think it was drugs and is it hey by the way so.
Joe Getty
He'S in he's in the back of the police car because he's under arrest.
Jack Armstrong
Yes he was charged with public disorderly conduct and booked into jail because he was going berserk i guess there's thirty five minutes of police footage of the gubernatorial candidate as they transported him from the downtown area beautiful historic downtown charleston if you've never visited please do i urge you to to the detention center i believe he calms down somewhat in this next cl what's your name it.
Joe Getty
Doesn'T matter my friend trust me i'm one of the most just humans to ever walk okay just tell me your name i'm just human okay well we tried we've all tried i'll tell you what you got to give me a name give me superman sounds good i'm superman john doe no i'm you know what john that's fine okay john does fine i don't give a all right just get these shackles off of me so you call me whatever you want i don't care just get this my name doesn't matter if you keep acting like this yeah the jail is just going to put you in more i don't care okay okay good luck to you mister dell.
Jack Armstrong
Mister mcloud mentions names such as former president barack obama attorney general allen wilson of south carolina president donald trump and other prominent south carolinans of wilson i think is this part of no i don't think all right of wilson the republican who's also running to be south carolina's next governor mcleod threatens to kick his teeth in before rambling on and effing wilson i'm daring you right now mother effer when you've got all the teeth in your mouth you better be in front of the people's house which my cousin used to have the wheel you better be outside holding a press conference telling the effing world the head you win and tell you win conversation we had um effer.
Joe Getty
Hard to argue with so so is this and the only reason if you get vicky off the hook i might i might give jay some grace but if you don't jay richardson i'm coming for you and i'm gonna get the so mccoy my friend i want you to get a second round of of kicking those teeth in because your father should have never had to dare in our state to do the people's work i would do that work for you cuz my name is joe six mother.
Jack Armstrong
So how much he also mentions nancy mid his rant it's not immediately clear whether he meant gubernatorial candidate us representative nancy mace but he goes on to say he would kick her teeth in.
Joe Getty
Too well that's a threat that's probably not a good thing to do you probably shouldn't threat us senators like that so do we have a sense of how much of this is drug or booze related and how much of it is your crackpot complete crackpot it's not.
Jack Armstrong
Clear from the report reminds me of.
Joe Getty
Somebody i heard say the other day that when they used to drink whenever i drank i wasn't going to stop until i either cried or fought that's where he was he's kind of like getting to the cry part he'd gone through the fight part right the state.
Jack Armstrong
Democratic party has for some reason distanced itself from his candidacy quote after reviewing the transcript of the dash cam footage from his recent arrest is clear mister mcleod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his mental and emotional well being instead of a campaign for governor we offer him compassion and pray he finds the support he needs in response to the teeth kicking in threat against mister wilson one of the candidates he replied the first democrat to join the governor's race said he wants to kick my teeth in i'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he means in a general election not a street fight my plan for bold conservative leadership is spreading and my record of defending trump parental rights and the rule of law has put a target on my back but i'm not slowing down and i'm not done fighting for south carolina families wow oh my golly he's got an interesting speaking style.
Joe Getty
There i'm coming to you does he run out of air is that what.
Jack Armstrong
It'S kind of like it's kind of like the cowardly lion i'll give up.
Joe Getty
A left and a right it's very much like the cowardly lion a wasted cowardly he only had a heart the lion needed a heart right courage courage.
Jack Armstrong
That'S right obviously he's got the courage to cook people's teeth in and argue with cops or stupidity either way good luck in your future endeavors sir the.

Joe Getty
Protect they're calling at a level four disturbance now they said they had him restrained he broke out and there's passengers holding him down now the breeze airways flight was traveling from norfolk virginia to.
Jack Armstrong
Los angeles police say they were told the passenger was intoxicated yelling racial slurs at the flight attendants and waving around a skateboard according to air traffic control audio the passenger was restrained two separate times but broke free both times the plane then declaring an emergency and diverting to grand junction colorado where the airline says it was met promptly by local law enforcement officers who restrained and removed.
Joe Getty
The passenger from the aircraft nice job of tying him up level four disturbance so we don't have any idea if it's a one to ten scale or a one to four scale or or if one's worst intensive we don't have any idea maybe four is the the.
Jack Armstrong
Least and one's the biggest i feel.
Joe Getty
Like a guy who's swinging a skateboard which is basically like a bat or something like that and screaming like that and being a lunatic and has broken out twice should be the practically the top level whatever it is i'm guessing.
Jack Armstrong
It is unless you know there's a guy with a gun is like five this is clearly a hijacking god help.
Joe Getty
Us all i'm surprised somebody didn't take him down quicker because i mean if you're swinging a skateboard near my head i got to do something just as a self protective measure but at one point if you've seen the video this very large gentleman and i mean he's like nfl big comes up picks him up like a little kid and takes him back and says sit down and that was the end of it till they landed in grand junction and was let off the plane so wow a large gentleman took care of the situation wow i've got some unbelievable breaking news from the new york times that i want to get to i don't know if i'll have time here but because i wanted to mention these two trends and ask katie if she knows anything about them you never know if a new tick tock trend is a big deal or nothing first this one tired girl as a look.
Jack Armstrong
That'S that's me.
Joe Getty
Every day the tired girl look apparently some young starlet i've never heard of has popularized looking really tired so people are putting on makeup to make yourself look more pale and your hair's messed up and you're like your eyes are.
Katie Green
Redness they're they're trying to look like.
Jack Armstrong
Jenna ortega wednesday adams because the new wednesday just came out on netflix the.
Joe Getty
Tired girl look it's supposed to look like you're like out at the clubs late but still getting up to go to work and so you got tired girl chic okay knock yourselves out i don't know if that's actually a trend and then this one because you're in the gym a lot the twelve three thirty treadmill trend that is burning up tick tock right now joe you do a treadmill where you put you walking a twelve incline at a pace of three miles an hour for thirty minutes twelve three thirty and experts say it's even better than running for some reason so i don't know if you'd ever heard of these but i mean i.
Jack Armstrong
Mostly do the elliptical so i don't know yeah i haven't heard of the treadmill trend how about the trend trend when will the trend trend start that.
Joe Getty
Correct how how many people doctor susie in there how many people jump on something on tiktok before it gets reported in other media as a trend that's what i'd like to know here's the.
Jack Armstrong
Three is in trend how long does a trend trend before it is a.
Joe Getty
Trend friend i'll bet today and today only for like the twelve three thirty trend and the tired girl look i don't know it's very popular with young moms yes no kidding this is huge if it turns out to be true new study in which you can talk without the ability to talk and a computer can pick up on it so this guy who had als couldn't speak anymore had electrodes implanted in his brain and with the help of ai they'd never been able to do this before but with the help of ai picking up on the different signals and being able to process so much data so so fast the guy can think words and they come out on a computer.
Jack Armstrong
Screen wow that could be really dangerous.
Joe Getty
Yeah you're ahead of me on that.
Jack Armstrong
Let'S let's agree on some parameters here.
Joe Getty
But before we get to that the the fact that it is where was this how successful it's been predicted almost six the computer accurately predicted almost six thousand different words with an accuracy of ninety seven point five percent in the first trial of this wow and they think it could become a big thing immediately they got into what katie just brought up though they don't know how they or if they could differentiate between things you're just thinking like that son of a or you wanted to say out loud that son of a.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah god when's he gonna stop talking oh.
Joe Getty
Shoot sorry no offense boy you've gained weight i didn't i didn't want to say that i was just thinking that.
Jack Armstrong
Stupid machine but that could i mean what an incredible tool though for folks with all sorts of maladies that have made them unable able to speak much as i was in that sense or or or have difficulty speaking i'm thinking of stroke victims in particular unless you're.
Joe Getty
Getting all of their unfiltered thoughts that they didn't mean to say because then it's a problem because we all know how our mind just runs and you say and think things you don't mean or things that are crazy or you know all kinds of stuff and you don't need that coming out on the joe i was just reading over your computer transcript why were you contemplating robbing a bank and figuring out how you could pull it off no no no.
Jack Armstrong
No no i was just thinking about it as wiling away the afternoon it sounds like a plot to me it's awfully specific we're going to need you.
Joe Getty
To come downtown you're planning to do.
Jack Armstrong
What what well if she'll have me so i'm thinking about this and the obvious solution it's a partial solution is.
Joe Getty
An on off button right that the that the coincidence or the communicator has.
Jack Armstrong
Control over yes indeed i mean for instance in every radio studio in america they have a cough what's called a cough button i have one next to me right now and and here i there i'm turning on and off my.
Joe Getty
Cough button excellent excellent demonstration thank you.
Jack Armstrong
Made it very clear thank you michael but here's here's the problem i'm thinking okay i'm done thinking it now i'm gonna say it why that's a fine idea dumbass oh i didn't press the button quick enough because i mean your thoughts flow so quickly you might you know get you'd think yeah i'll just i'll turn it on communicate what i want to turn it off but just one word too many and do you.
Joe Getty
Own a bar of soap you smell like a horse ah i say i didn't want that part to be on the computer screen yeah so but you.
Jack Armstrong
Know obviously it's a huge leaf forward you could use this machine to read.
Joe Getty
The thoughts of crazy people oh wow like the dog is talking to me.
Jack Armstrong
That is fascinating michael is not indulging in our childish hijinks he's thinking about you know incredibly important ways this could be utilized nicely done michael of course.
Joe Getty
You have to get the at least for now you have to get the electrodes put on your brain so that's probably not a minor procedure this guy volunteered the guy with als and of course you would if you thought if you couldn't communicate because he's communicating with his family now his wife and his kids if you couldn't communicate with your family and you thought you had a shot at it yeah put some electrodes on brain.
Jack Armstrong
So a brief change of topic we'll get into the crackdown on free speech in britain but you know it's funny you mentioned breaking news in the new york times they posted this about an hour ago and this is now crystal clear what's going on russia seeks to add trade and arms control into trump putin talks trying to move the diplomatic focus away from ukraine and two bilateral issues trade strategic stability the arctic etcetera we have so many things to talk about mister president let's not restrain ourselves to ukraine small country and.
Joe Getty
Trump might say i hope he says we'll discuss all that after you agree to a ceasefire so let's just talk ceasefire until until we figure this out yeah but greenland and the mineral rights no no no no we're talking about a ceasefire yes or no.
Jack Armstrong
Willing to import fifty thousand hot russian women to us duh niet says trump standing firm.

Jack Armstrong
Seventy five percent but he knows more than i do about it been sitting on this great piece by glenn reynolds he's a professor of law at the university of tennessee among other things and it includes the concept of preference falsification which we have described many times i'm not sure that's the term you need to use for it but we'll explain what that is in a couple of minutes in a close rel well the piece in it in toto is about britain's illegal immigration crisis and how the dam of opinion on that is breaking in britain in spite of the british government's eff efforts to crack down on free speech which has gone so far in britain in canada in australia new zealand are like closest english speaking cousins have completely lost their way on this topic and ben shapiro sat down and talked to liz truss who you may recall was the prime minister of britain for like a day and a half right or something like that who will.
Joe Getty
Last her longer her or this head of lettuce remember that was the thing.
Jack Armstrong
With her oh right yeah yeah she took the reins at a difficult difficult time it's an interesting story but one we don't really have time for but she is still a leading politician thinker in great britain we'll we'll play some excerpts of the conversation but it was.
Liz Truss
Sixteen ninety five that the free press was invented in britain that was before you know the united states of america was established we came up with these things magna carta the bill of rights i find it utterly shameful that those ancient liberties which have promoted so much freedom around the world including i think the jewel in the crown the united states of america have become completely bastardized in britain i mean imagine people being arrested and jailed for a post on.
Jack Armstrong
X which is absolutely happening if it causes unrest or racial disagreement or disharmony or what have you roll on liz.
Liz Truss
Literally somebody was arrested the other day for mocking a terrorist who had been you know bombed as part of the page for mocking a terrorist they were arrested and this is not policies that any parliament has passed these are policies that have been come up with by so called independent bodies so they're not legitimate they don't have the authority of the electorate but they are being imposed on the british people the whole concept of a non crime hate incident which sounds completely orwellian no politician came up with that that was invented by the college of policing which is a a body that is completely unaccountable the college.
Jack Armstrong
Of policing yeah she's talking about the administrative state and this is this has been a pretty hot topic in american you know law and politics the idea that you can appoint a commission and maybe pass a law even that gives them the authority to come up with such policies and practices as best execute congress's vision or the parliament's vision but the administrative state has gone wild run wild and so now the policing college or whatever she referred to it as that commission has said yes yes to maintain order we should arrest anyone who says anything that could cause racial hatred yes and we will decide what that is roll on liz we now live.
Liz Truss
In a kind of orwellian state in britain where lots of people are worried about what they say and this is the whole purpose the whole purpose is to cover up what's going on in our country because people know there are massive issues with the grooming gangs of young girls being of the authorities not being held to account for that they know that our economy is in decline they can see steel works closing down because of the environmental policies they can see businesses not being able to start up and the authorities and the establishment don't want people really to know how bad it is and that is why they're going for suppressing distorting using the mainstream media to try and cover up.
Joe Getty
This stuff well i didn't pay much attention to her during her thirty day reign as prime minister but i like her point of view oh yeah absolutely.
Jack Armstrong
And again her whole her trip as prime minister is complicated and you'd have to get into british politics but anyway that brings us directly to glenn reynolds professor of law at university of tennessee's piece and preference falsification which was exactly what liz truss was talking about in that last text or in i'm sorry in that last clip so the headline is the dam is breaking on britain's illegal immigration crisis and the results could be ugly britain's labor government is in trouble its program of massive third world immigration from places like pakistan and somalia is wildly overwhelmingly unpopular but that's not the real problem the real problem is that despite the best efforts of the prime minister keir starmer and his leftist captive media britons them britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is you might argue that's absurd if mass immigration is unpopular how can everyone not know it everyone doesn't know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration any criticism of open borders lax enforcement or worst of all immigrant crime has been punished as racist and hate speech by the starmer regime the point of this isn't to reduce racism or hate heck the censorship will likely make that worse but to make it harder for people to realize just how many of their fellow citizens feel the same way they do for years britain has stifled reports of immigrant rape gangs in places like rotherham and has prosecuted those who've called attention to them even jailing some we went into this in great detail a couple of weeks ago it's incredibly troubling and as the government gives light sentences to child rapists it's imprisoning moms for tweets on the ground of quote inciting race hatred it's all to construct and maintain something known as preference falsification a move usually practiced by authoritarian regimes the trick is you make citizens pretend that they believe what the government says and fake their approval of what it does you promote marches and demonstrations and speech in favor of the government's preferred positions and you severely punish marches and demonstrations and speech that oppose the government's favored positions you give excuses like stopping counter revolutionary activity or fighting hate speech for shutting down any opposition you may even have informers to ferret out wrong think and report it to the authorities or to employers or to third parties who will engage in extralegal but government supported harassment doxing we call it if you do it right you can have upward of ninety percent of your population hating you and your policies but doing and saying nothing about them because everyone in the ninety percent thinks they're part of a tiny minority resistance would seem to be futile and this works until it doesn't so we got our own.
Joe Getty
Version of that but luckily at least so far the government isn't completely involved in it we were talking about that earlier because this study that came out that seventy seven percent of college kids disagreed that gender identity should override biological sex and sports wow but would not.
Jack Armstrong
College kids almost eighty percent the seventy.
Joe Getty
Seven percent believed what i just said but would not voice that disagreement aloud three quarters of college students said they didn't agree with that whole boys and girls sports but would not say it out loud so we have a cultural thing on it you add on to it a government position like they've got in great britain yeah you could stifle.
Jack Armstrong
A lot of thought wow that's an excellent point it's an entirely well it's the administration which is the government of a college campus come to think of it i was going to say it's a completely non government enforcement of preference falsification but just a different form of government now that i think about it and then he he gets into some of the particulars of the british situation that i'll just i'll pick and choose a couple of them the problem with preference falsification is that sooner or later some event or development can make people realize that what they've been told is popular is in fact very unpopular when this happens as duke university scholar timur koran writes in his book private truths public lies the result is a preference cascade yeah when large swaths of the population realize their dissident views are in fact widely held they become less afraid of the government and less hesitant about sharing their true sentiments or i would say social pressure or their college they become less afraid of their college administrators.
Joe Getty
Or what have you all kinds of stuff the border the trans stuff prominent pronouns boys and girls sports just saying you like trump remember after the election all of a sudden i saw an explosion of trump t shirts and hats and stuff like that where people thought wow there's way more people agree with.
Jack Armstrong
Me than i thought right and all of that is what's happening now in britain after a string of cases in which migrants sexually assaulted local girls and women and groomed them and had rape gangs across the united kingdom people including large numbers of middle aged and middle class women not the far right skinheads that starmer and his ilk claim stoke all anti immigrant sentiment those women are protesting outside the hot where the government is housing illegal immigrants shouting send them home and protect our girls and the demonstrations in the last two weeks featuring thousands of people carrying saint george flags the traditional symbol of england are too big to hide and they're cropping up in every corner of the nation largely organized on facebook and other social media starmer has gotten the government controlled media to present its spin and blackout or soft pedal most bad news bad news gets out in other ways and he talks about social media you know when.
Joe Getty
Things are too overwhelming like our border situation i mean there's just no way you could hide that but it takes.
Jack Armstrong
A while to get there yeah he mentions a couple of historical cases like in romania where there was a a i got to remember the preference falsification and then a preference preference cascade where it actually pushed out the dictator everybody realized everybody hates him and they can't kill us all and they took to the streets and they took their country back his conclusion the british establishment would have been better served to let its citizens debate immigration questions openly and fairly it did not do so because it knew it would lose such a debate instead it foisted upon it foisted open borders on a nation that didn't want them then tried to silence opposition now we're watching as the regime's strategy collapses will it end in starmer ouster or worse in violence either way the aftermath.
Joe Getty

Jack Armstrong

Second meeting is going to be very very important this meeting sets up like a chess game this meeting sets up up the second meeting but there is.
Joe Getty
A twenty five percent chance that this.
Jack Armstrong
Meeting will not be a successful meeting.
Joe Getty
Which case i will run the country and we have made america great again already in six months so trump in an interview this morning talking about his meeting with putin tomorrow he went on to say in the interview i think putin wants to get it done i really feel like he wanted the whole thing i think if it weren't me if it was somebody else he would not be talking to anybody i'm the toughest one he's ever had to deal with he's never had to deal with anybody like me trump has got to throw in there in his usual way.
Jack Armstrong
And he also self aggrandizing but also.
Joe Getty
Accurate he and that he's never had to deal with it nobody's ever dealt with anything with anybody like you that's true trump said that a successful meeting tomorrow could result in him staying in alaska to host the follow up meeting with with zelinsky i wonder if the secret service was like what we might be what okay i guess we have to find a hotel clear that out and everything yeah wow i mean i haven't heard but i assume trump's flying there tomorrow or is he going today and spending the night in anchorage i don't know i haven't heard but boy.
Jack Armstrong
That'S so interesting i've never heard of anything like that saying look let's get together and if it's worth it we'll just stay yeah hash this out i.
Joe Getty
Now believe he's convinced he's going to make a deal i'm going to know very quickly he said trump described the high profile encounter as a preliminary step toward peace saying i don't know that we're going to get an immediate ceasefire but i think it's going to come depending on what happens with my meeting i'm going to call president zelensky and let's get him over here for wherever we're gonna meet i don't know where we're gonna have the second meeting but we have an idea of three different locations we'll be including the possibility because it would be the easiest of just staying in alaska well if if like you and i think putin's entire goal is to drag this out even if he ultimately plans on doing some sort of deal he wants to drag it out as long as possible yeah because he's still fighting a war and you know and he wants to put off the sanctions and everything like that that so the idea of sure let's just meet tomorrow and bring in zelensky seems like a complete zero percent chance to.
Jack Armstrong
Me well yeah the only way that would like conceivably work is if he as i was saying earlier includes ukraine in a big package of issues that's so attractive to trump trump thinks yeah okay yeah let's get that quick land swap going with ukraine then let's do all this other stuff it's good for the country it's good for the economy blah blah blah makes me look great right let's get this done but then of course the sticking point is zelensky is going to come in the ukrainian people are going to say no and europe too for that matter trump then.
Joe Getty
Said if it's a bad meeting i'm not calling anybody i'm going home he.
Jack Armstrong
Did say it take to get from.
Joe Getty
Dc to anchorage in on air force one i don't know i don't know i don't know how fast they fly do they get to fly like because they don't have to worry about how much fuel they use like normal airlines your your plane could fly faster it just would take so much fuel and cost so much but he doesn't have to worry about that he did say i i would say i'll have a press conference in either event but i'm not going to call anybody i'm just going to go home if it's a negative i'll have a press conference to say that the war is going to go on and these people are horribly going to continue to shoot each other and kill each other and i think it's a disgrace and i'll head back.
Jack Armstrong
To washington yeah i don't see putin participating in the press conference the more i think about it i guess it's been the news has been floated that yes they're going to have one with both of them but now the poodle beg off unless he thinks he can score propaganda points but i'll be very surprised if he's there trump said this.
Joe Getty
Which i'm sure i'll see on the critics cable channels today i've stopped six wars this year this was going to be one of my easy ones but it never worked out that way this turns out to be probably the most difficult yeah i think a lot of people thought it was going to be.
Jack Armstrong
Pretty difficult it was it was going to be one of the easy ones in your head maybe i love the.
Joe Getty
Way he talks about that sort of stuff it's so refreshing compared to the whole so guarded don't want to say the wrong thing they never say anything bs that you get out of most politics if it goes poorly i'm not calling anybody i'm going home yeah yep here's your host for final thoughts joe.
Jack Armstrong
Getty let's get a final thought from the whole crew how about that michelangelo lead us off from the control room hit it just to remind people that tomorrow at three thirty eastern is when they meet and so after that you can start watching for news and stuff and also if the second meeting if there is a second meeting then they get to be buddies maybe they will work in anchorage mcdonald's together for press.
Joe Getty
Wouldn'T that be cool you know how.
Jack Armstrong
Trump did that campaign stunt yes fabulous good times katie green our esteemed newswoman has a final thought katie i think to take putin down a couple notches trump should start calling him pooter wow give him a nickname that's it yeah.
Joe Getty
Exactly my final thought i want him to treat putin like he treated rand paul in the debate i wanted to be just like picture chris christie's head on putin's body when you're talking trump that's the way to do it how.
Jack Armstrong
About this friend nickname poo poo yes.
Joe Getty
Oh good one poo poo over there wants to kill children so my final.

Release Date: August 14, 2025
In the episode titled "How Long Does A Trend, Trend?!", hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty delve into a mix of political discourse, societal trends, and technological advancements. The conversation weaves through high-stakes international relations, domestic political turbulence, emerging social media fads, and groundbreaking technological innovations. Below is a comprehensive summary capturing the essence of their discussions, enriched with notable quotes and timestamps for reference.
Timestamp: [03:22] – [05:49]
The episode opens with significant news about an upcoming press conference featuring former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The hosts express astonishment and anticipation regarding the report's authenticity.
Jack Armstrong adds skepticism about the drama unfolding, highlighting the unprecedented nature of such an event.
The discussion speculates on the potential outcomes and implications of this high-profile meeting, questioning the likelihood of meaningful dialogue and the possibility of it setting the stage for future negotiations.
Timestamp: [04:35] – [10:24]
The focus shifts to South Carolina's gubernatorial race, spotlighting candidate William McLeod Jr.'s controversial behavior and subsequent arrest.
McLeod Jr.'s outburst involves threats against political opponents, notably targeting Republican Allen Wilson and Democratic figures like Nancy Mace. His erratic behavior has ignited discussions about mental health and its role in political campaigns.
The hosts debate the Democratic Party's response, emphasizing the need for compassion towards McLeod Jr.'s mental state while condemning his threatening rhetoric.
Timestamp: [29:22] – [39:23]
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to analyzing Great Britain's recent policies on free speech and immigration, drawing parallels with the concept of preference falsification.
The hosts explore how the British government's stringent measures against hate speech and its handling of immigration issues have led to widespread public discontent. They reference Glenn Reynolds, a law professor, who explains how preference falsification—where citizens conceal their true opinions to conform to perceived societal norms—has been employed to maintain governmental control despite growing opposition.
This section underscores the fragility of public trust and the potential for significant political upheaval when suppressed dissent bubbles to the surface.

Armstrong and Getty examine the lifecycle of viral trends on platforms like TikTok, questioning their longevity and real-world impact.
They discuss two specific trends:
Tired Girl Look: Characterized by pale makeup and disheveled hair to emulate a fatigued appearance, purportedly inspired by media figures like Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams portrayal.
12 3 30 Treadmill Trend: Involves walking on a treadmill at a 12% incline at 3 mph for 30 minutes, touted as more effective than running.
The hosts express skepticism about the sustainability of these trends, especially as they often cater to niche audiences and may not translate into lasting societal changes.
Timestamp: [19:12] – [22:33]
A groundbreaking development in assistive technology is highlighted, featuring an ALS patient who regained the ability to communicate through AI-driven brain-computer interfaces.
