Armstrong and Getty discuss Western civilization's Christian philosophical foundations, particularly how the crucifixion of Jesus fundamentally changed humanity's view of the weak versus the strong. The hosts also critique progressive parenting approaches, examine the Duggar family's experience with fame, and discuss the implications for Gavin Newsom's potential presidential ambitions.
Insights
- Christian philosophy's elevation of the weak as morally equal to the strong represents a revolutionary departure from pre-Christian civilizations and remains the dominant Western value system regardless of individual religious belief
- Progressive ideology often operates from a position of moral superiority and detachment from mainstream American values, particularly among wealthy political elites in insulated communities
- Fame creates asymmetrical relationships where the famous cannot distinguish genuine friendships from opportunistic connections, making it a net negative despite widespread desire for it
- Gender role deconstruction efforts may misunderstand biological differences and evolutionary psychology, imposing ideological frameworks that contradict natural behavioral patterns
- Political candidates' family members and past statements become significant liabilities in presidential campaigns, potentially disqualifying otherwise viable candidates
Trends
Increasing cultural backlash against progressive parenting and gender ideology from mainstream audiencesGrowing recognition of Western civilization's Christian philosophical roots across secular and religious audiencesCelebrity and political family exposure creating unintended consequences and limiting political viabilityWidening gap between elite progressive perspectives and mainstream American values on gender and familyRising scrutiny of political candidates' spouses and family members as campaign vulnerabilities

This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm strong and getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Hey there. It's a good Friday. What does that mean? It means a lot, even if you're not what you would call yourself a Christian, even if you don't like identify as a Christian, it means a lot because it has been the dominance influencer of Western culture for 2000 years. And we can talk about that coming up a little bit later. I learned this from Tom Holland and his book, Dominion, but super, super interesting. So I hope he can stick around, even if you're not religious. For me, it was a real slap in my forehead and saying, Oh my gosh, how have I not recognized this moment in hearing some of this? Terrific. I hope you can stay tuned. But first, before we move forward, we must look back fondly at the week that was its cow clips of the week. Yes, we are. Yes, who's here? No kings. Do it. Communism is going to win, baby. Is there any decision in particular you disagree with? We're okay. So I would start with. I've given our boys dolls. We're recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human. Here, um, Trot, I'm, you know, forgive me. You know, this is embarrassing. We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America. The blunt warning from Iran, any American troops invading would be set on fire. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down. You can ask Khomeini about that. Go to the straight and just take it, protect it. This is not our war. We will not be drawn into the conflict. This is Jackson, not withstanding, you know, you had sort of like an idiot coming along on this. I wouldn't say that because we have cases in front of the court. So, uh, well put. And lift off the crew of Artemis two now bound for the moon. He'll go deeper into space than any human has ever gone before. We're going back to the moon. That's why. New questions about Tiger Woods's future after the 15 time major champion was arrested. He was sweating profusely. His movements were lethargic and slow. Mr. Woods, did you hang out down here with us, please? Yeah, I was talking to the president. Now speak. Oh, three. You know, I have a fear of German sausages. I always fear the worst. It's clips of the week. Good stuff in there. So did you know I did not know until just two minutes ago when I read this. The civil rights movement protested heavily the moon landing in June of 1969. Oh, yeah, I did not know this. Yeah, I can picture Eldridge Cleaver. Was it leading a big protest in Houston? I think this is after Martin Luther King, Jr. had died. If you know your history, because he was killed in April 4th. Tomorrow's the anniversary of 1968. This is 1969 June when we landed men on the moon. But Ralph Abernathy, who is one of the closest advisors and right hand man too, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a protest with about 500 mostly African American protesters about how we're spending all this money on going to the moon while people are still hungry, etc. etc. Yeah, I wonder if that's what I'm picturing. Yeah, the money should be spent in the cities, not on the moon. Yeah. And, uh, there's a number of problems with that. There will always be hungry people. So if you're going to go with that sort of logic, he can't ever do anything as long as anybody's hungry. All of these various programs that you want to throw money at to try to eliminate hunger, it seems to have only increased it in certain segments of society. Or made things rain, does graft. Yeah. And then you also have, I saw this yesterday, somebody was making this sort of argument for present. With the NASA launch of Artemis 2 and all that, that would be, we spend $20 billion on our space program and somebody wisely pointed out, yeah, but we spend it. And I forget what the number was. Three quarters of a trillion dollars on various aid programs in the United States. I mean, it's not even close. I mean, it's a drop in the bucket where we're spending on that. It's like complaint compared to various tax transfers to try to eliminate hunger. Various tax transfers to try to help out people who don't have enough of this or that. But a lot of people would hear that argument and say, wow, yeah. So it's both the false choice fallacy and it's just the math thing, right? Yeah, the tweet, and I don't remember who was from, some lefty, well-known lefty. The tweet was billions for the space program and pennies for the hungry. And the response by somebody who knows the numbers was or 20 billion for space program and like three quarters of a trillion for the hungry. But you know, you do you. But that sort of thing works. It works all the time on a lot of people. That's why democracy doesn't work. It's never worked. It can't work. We need to restrict voting to landed white and every other color, males and females. Anybody with a job, anybody who pays taxes, you got to pay more in taxes than you get out of it to be allowed to vote. Well, I like to be a fascist. Go ahead. I'm a fascist. Fantastic. Step right on out of here. We had a little clip in there of Gavin Newsom's wife talking about how she reads to her kids. If you didn't hear that, we did it earlier in the show. It's really, really insufferable. Good Lord. Yeah. That, uh, that whole point of view. Having your changes, the male protagonist to female. So her children realize that girls can do things too. Because it's the middle ages or even 1950. What are you talking about? She's reading person Tom Sawyer to her kids. Does she make it Tina Sawyer so that they know that girls can also make rafts and travel around with former slaves? Do friends into painting their fence? Yeah, go ahead and play the clip, Michael. I have a comment. What I've done with both my daughters and my sons is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just changed the heat of a sheet and it just normalizes for my sons in particular. Not just, it's not even, I don't even just do it for my girls. I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting. Because there are no books, TV shows, movies, anything real life, women, real life, where women are the center of the story. It just never happens. Right. What are you talking about? You crazy person. Two things. I never bring up like family or children of politicians unless they make them fair game. It's like the rules across examination in a courtroom. I fear for those boys and I hope they are OK. To be constantly hammered with the message that, I mean, the unspoken message is, I'm not going to tell you about boys who are heroic or do things or adventurous because it's much more important that you learn this. There's an unspoken message there. Well, she's give you a couple of paragraphs about, but I'll bet you can guess what I mean. She's doing to her kids what she believes the world is doing to women, but hasn't been for like centuries. Right. Right. And then my second thought about it, and I think I said this on just a segment that only goes out to around the radio range locally. Her deal is, I believe, number one, she's got that progressive self a grand dicing look how enlightened I am thing 24 seven. She's death. That's what she gets up in the morning to do is to make herself look enlightened. And secondly, because she operates in the rarefied air of the very, very wealthy Napa Valley types and the rarefied air of the very, very powerful Sacramento political class, she has no idea what normal people think or do or how we live. She's guessing. She's heard things about how the unwashed masses behave and what they think the poor, bigoted, you know, racist woman hating scum. I mean, it's like she took her kids on that zoo trip to the red state so they could see hate and racism and bigotry. It's like sweetheart, I've lived in the red states. I love her. It's fine. It's not what you're picturing from your mountaintop in Healdsburg. Well, and then she's got the other clip is her. She gives her boys dolls so that they can learn about nurturing and whatever. And so apparently that's her never having had the experience a lot of us have where if you let like some boys and girls run wild in a room full of toys, the girls pick up the dolls and the boys pick up the dump trucks almost entirely. They just got a de-struck. We got to deconstruct gender roles, Jack. Not a social construct. Nobody told the little my son when he was three, only pick up the bulldozers. Boys don't nurture children. All right. Now go get the bulldozer and the opposite of the girls pick up the doll. Girls only take care of babies. No, they just naturally do that because there is a difference between the genders and we're designed a certain way by evolution. And I threw in go ahead and play with the doll because you'll never be at the center of any adventure or story. I made sure my girls do that. Oh my God. I've given our boys dolls, even if they tear that off. I've given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that is a responsibility of men. Yeah. She is a dedicated adherent to postmodernism, critical theory. She's not nearly as smart as she thinks she is. Or you are so wildly lacking in insight, dear. You live in a world that the world you imagine is nothing like the world that actually exists. That's a great question. Well, it was a statement. So as Mark Halperin is always pointing out, there is no scrutiny like running for president scrutiny. I mean, you can be governor, you can do all kinds of things and people are like looking for the oppo, but it's nothing even close to like when you're in for president. There's going to be stuff that she has said on camera, on video, tweeted out, written about over her years. It's going to come out if he actually makes it to presidential candid that he is really going to struggle to deal with. I mean, because this is this is 50 year old her. What was 25 year old her saying? Honestly, it's impossible that it was none of this crap because she hadn't been indoctrinated into critical theory. She might have been a normal person when she was 25. That's possible. Yeah. Wow. Okay. We got a lot more on the way. Stay here. I needed a place in NYC to nap. So I looked up on Reddit. Where to nap? And it was like all these things being like, there's one secret room in this library that if you go at these hours, the guards aren't there until I read the best idea ever, which I did. I went to the movie theater, paid $15 for a ticket and slept in the recliner seats during the movie popped in my earbuds, put on my beanie, and I had one of the best naps of my life. That is a great idea. A Reddit site that lets you know all the good places you could nap. It reminds me of the, the Seinfeld episode where they are quizzing each other like George Costanza could tell you the closest public restroom. Give me, give me a spot. 23rd and ninth. The Barnes and Noble bookstore, you know, just where you could go to a public restroom, there need to be, you know, Reddit things like that. That's awesome. Yeah. That is kind of cool. Where can I take a quick nap? Hey, this is apropos nothing. I wanted to squeeze it in. I mentioned it hours ago, but Mike in Missouri, formerly Arkansas wrote us a really interesting note. We were talking about the Duggars and how that thing kind of fell apart and their problems and child molestation and whatever else. Can we reset that briefly? Cause I'm not sure I even remember. Weren't they held up as something great by everybody for a while? Reality show. That yeah. Tons of reality show though. I think they became famous pre reality show because they had like what, 18 kids or something. Obviously that gets a lot of attention and they're supposed to be this just fantastic family that cared so much about this and that. Then there was reality show, but then we found out there was a pretty ugly under belly. Is that what happened? Yeah. Yeah. There's some, some sickness definitely going on, including dad. I believe it was. But anyway, let me just read some of this. Um, I have many thoughts on the Duggar news since I knew both the Duggars and Caldwell families, the ones involved in latest scandal. I've been to both of their churches homes and was part of the same cultish homeschool group with my kids. Right. My family never. Yeah. That was part of the angle of lifting it up in the beginning was it was homeschooled, very religious. And then he says he obviously has no sympathy for some of the bad things that were done, but he has a lot of sympathy for the family in general. When it comes to weirdness of fame and media, twisting and exploits exploitation of it, um, then most of them are actually doing quite well. He says, but, uh, um, uh, they're doing far better than I think could be expected based on the weirdness of fame they received as a large family that was selected for a show that made them rock stars overnight to homeschoolers and objects of hate and scorn to a lot of the population. Just the small amount of tension, attention I got from being a Duggar adjacent. Freak me out a bit. We ran it a home from them that was on the show often that Josh and Anna previously lived in and had Rando's pretend to run out of gas, come to my door regularly hoping to meet a Duggar or stand out in the street taking pictures of my kids playing in the yard. Even people becoming our friends to fish for Duggar info to leak to gossip sites about the Duggars. I finally moved us from that house when pictures of my kids were on an anti Duggar website where psychos make threats all the time. You know, I wrote back to Mike actually, I said, it's really interesting and troubling. Fame is a curse. The fact that so many people seek it is well dumb. Yeah. Or, or just they don't think about it or don't get it. Fame is a curse that goes along with being successful at a visible job. I will, I will put that as my, my sentence to be engraved in, in granite. Why do so many people want to be famous? It's just a wanting too much of one level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The like belongingness or social celebrated. They want to be admired. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. They, they just, and it's not dumb. That was a bad choice of words. They haven't reckoned with her, haven't heard about the really weird side of fame. And there's a lot of it. Not just that stuff, but any Hollywood star, any, you know, sports star would tell you, I'm never sure if I'm actually friends with somebody or they just want to drop my name or they want something from me. Um, you know, among, among other problems. It's good Friday, maybe the most important day in the history of Western civilization, whether you're religious or not. Talk about that coming up, Steve. You are Christian, whether you know it or not. Actually, you're Christian, even if you're Muslim or Jewish, even if you're an atheist, according to Tom Holland, who wrote the book Dominion and he is a historian. And we talked about this fair amount a couple of months ago. Um, he, uh, himself, I don't believe is, um, pretty sure he's not a believer himself. So you don't need to. As Christopher Hitchens used to say, you read some of these books and they sneak Jesus in through the back door, like they make all those arguments and all of a sudden they think they got you. Now you're, you're stuck believing Jesus is the savior. Um, that's not what Tom Holland is up to. He's just making the point that, uh, the crucifixion of Jesus is so important to Western society and the way that we look at the world that we all really, the first the main dominating philosophy of Western society is Christian and it is a Christian philosophy. So that's what happened on this. This is good Friday. So in case you're for some reason not raised in a way that you would know this, this is the day historically that Jesus was crucified, then he discovered in an empty tomb Sunday, three days from now, that's Easter Sunday. It's the way that works and appeared to his followers. Right. Yeah. So what does Tom Holland mean by that? What was the big philosophy thing there? And, um, he started or these, these videos started making the round. This is after, uh, AOC. She was over there in Germany at whatever conference thing they had going on there and she mocked the idea of Western civilization being a thing. And then there's somebody else that made a similar comment or whatever and, um, the pushback was, yeah, there is something called Western civilization and Tom Holland had written his book Dominion about specifically how it comes out of the crucifixion. He makes the argument that the cross is the most powerful symbol probably in the history of the world for the amount of time that is endured and had a meaning and that previous to Jesus and the whole story of the crucifixion, mankind had a very brute, the strong. What is that saying you're always using the strong do what they can the week, do that they muster essentially, yeah, strong do whatever they want and the week, do what they will. Yes. And, and everybody was perfectly okay with that. They just thought that that was everybody's way of doing it. And, and that's what I'm saying. Yes. And, and everybody was perfectly okay with that. They just thought that that was everybody's lot in life. That's the way it should be. I always remember because I was confused by this saying from Bin Laden after 9 11, there was this thing that went around of Bin Laden talking about how when two people see, when people see two horses fighting, they root for the strong horse. When they see one horse is winning and I always thought, no, I don't. And I don't think most people do. That is the Western philosophy in that we tend to, if we see somebody strong, brutalizing somebody weak, we're horrified by it. That is a new way to look at the world coming out of the crucifixion of Jesus 2000 some years ago in that the crucifixion crucifying people was a way for the Roman state and this sort of thing had existed forever and still exists some places in the world showing we're in charge, we, the Romans are in charge, we make the rules and this will, what will happen to you if you disobey the rules. And so they would crucify people, which was a horribly painful way to die. And they would put the crosses, torturing them to death over a course of many hours. And they would do it in public and leave those crosses hanging up on the outskirts of all the towns. And you know, this is what happens if you cross us. And for whatever reason, I guess, I guess just human nature, people were kind of, well, you know, he had it coming. He was a thief or he was in, you know, whatever the crime was, you went against the Romans. Tom Holland in his book, he uses the example all the time of Caesar went up north into Europe, slaughtered a million people and came back a hero for having done that. Who would think in the, you know, in the Western civilization, moderate era, hold that up is a great thing because you had a more powerful army, you went and slaughtered a million innocent people. Right. Nobody would hold that up. But that was the belief system of again, of human nature, you know, see kids and what bullies will do if somebody doesn't intervene. They'll just take charge. But the idea, well, the weak had it coming. The stronger came along. We root for the, we were for the strong horse, a Caesar in our civilization that has better weapons and the weak had it coming. They deserve that for being weak. You deserve it for being weak. We've all known people like that who kind of feel like kids that get picked on, well, they kind of have it coming because they're weak, which is just a little guy. Yeah. It's just a disgusting idea. Well, the whole, the weakest of the week, Jesus being crucified, being resurrected and then being held up of here is the weakest. Here's the lowest rising up against the most powerful being a symbol of, you know, the downtrodden have reasons to be respected and honored and valued in the same way that the powerful do, which was a completely new notion. Yeah. I was going to say, and it's, I happen to come across this from Galatians that there's neither Jew nor Greek slave, nor free male nor female when it comes to salvation. And without that notion, we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal could not have been written. Nobody would have ever said that pre Christianity. Tom Holland makes very Christian notion. Tom Holland makes that specific point in his book about the declaration of independence. Yeah. And he does, the historian Tom Holland does a much better job at describing it in the book if you want to read a thousand page book or just check out any of his YouTube videos. There's a million of them describing this whole philosophy that was brand new upon the world. The idea that the week should be valued every bit as much as the strong. Well, and equally American is the notion that Christian Christianity screwed this up over and over again because we're human beings. We screw everything up. But the notion that there is the kingdom of God, then there's the kingdom on, on earth. The secular should not profane the sacred and the sacred need not worry about the secular. That's obviously a very non Islamic way to look at the world too, but that absolutely informs our constitution. And you know, that came straight out of the New Testament render on a Caesar what is Caesar's under God, what is God's? Yeah. And he actually talks a fair amount about Nietzsche and who more or less had the view of the strong get to do what they want. And the weak should suffer for being weak that Hitler latched onto with that same sort of belief and just sharing the word, the powerful and look at the, you know, whether you're handicapped or whatever your problem is, you're weak and you should be dispensed with, which is not the Christian view of things. Yeah. Hitler actually thought he had a duty to mankind to do that. To eliminate the certainly to the German people. Yeah. To absolutely. Yeah. To eliminate to strengthen the herd in general. I just, I think that example of Caesar is so interesting. There is no, is there anywhere on earth where you could still do that? Maybe there are some, I don't know. I don't even want to mention any places, but maybe there are some places on earth where you would still go out and slaughter the neighborhood village. And because you could do that, you're held up as, yeah, that's awesome. Good for you. Those weak people, they have it coming. That is definitely not a Western civ way of looking at things. Nigeria right now, yesterday. We would all be horrified by that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't care what your political cause is. You wiped out this suburb next door. I mean, the entire country would turn against that person's cause no matter how good it might be. Yeah. It's horrible. And so Holland says as a historian that that is the dominant philosophy on earth for a couple thousand years. And we're all, it's kind of like the fish don't know they are wet because we're swimming in that Christian view of the weak versus strong and everything like that. We're just so used to it. People, you can be atheists. You can think Christianity is dumb. Whatever you want to think, you're still living in a Christian world. As you've pointed out more than once, it's sometimes atheists who most vehemently espouse the idea that we must help the downtrodden. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He makes that point that the woke are Christian whether they know it or not. And it would probably really make them mad. Yeah. Can I end on this note? Horse fights? Horse fights? Right. You're, you're putting horses together to fight. What would be like dog fights? Same sort of thing. And when you see the big tough dog tearing apart the little dog, you think, yeah, tear that week one apart. That's a different way of looking at the world. Yes. Then we've been doing in Western civilization for a couple thousand years. And that point of view would be a manifest in a very, very different form of government to. Sure. Of course. Which is Islamism. Sharia. Which is why I'm so vehemently against it. It's in its incursions into the West. It's interesting to me. I did go to church every Sunday as a kid for many, many, many years. So where I, where the Western civilization philosophy got into me. I don't even know if I had to come through the church. It might have, could have come through my parents or grandparents or friends or whatever. No, no, no. You don't pick on little kids. That's that is the weakest thing you could do is to pick on somebody who's weaker than you. Right. You know, a lack of character. That's the opposite of look at the tough dog, destroy the little dog, the little dog had it coming. And I mean, that is a monumental change in philosophy. And that's what today, Good Friday symbolizes, according to Tom Holland. Hmm. That is really interesting book. Yeah. It's just, it's so troubling to think that that was the dominant philosophy for so long and could be again. If we can't hang on to this. I certainly don't want to offend anybody's religious beliefs, but I would say the history of mankind would suggest that it's almost certainly going to be the brutality again, unless we defend enlightenment. It needs to be defended. It's not the net back to the fish doesn't know what's wet. It's not the natural state of mankind. It's a miracle fight for it. Yeah. Good stuff. We'll finish strong next. Well, listen to this. Hershey announced that they will soon go back to using chocolate for their Reese's products. This raises way more questions than it answers. No kidding. Everyone about to give their kid an Easter basket full of Reese's like great timing. What? No kidding. What is our, what is, what is it now? You don't want to know. Apparently not. Well, it's like what cheese with or whatever is a pasteurized cheese food. I mean, it's, look, we came up with it in the lab. It looks like chocolate. It tastes more or less like chocolate just to eat it. So go ahead. I was going to say another humorist, but not making jokes. Greg Gutfeld took on one of our favorite topics lately, the go-go power couple from California, the Newsomes. That's what he had to say. Use their voices to stand up and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them. I'm a truth seeker. They need to know the truth. They need to know the truth. What that their mom is just as full of s*** as their dad. Hey mom. Hey mom, can we go to Disney World? No kids. We're off to shame white people in Alabama. These two are not a power couple. They're just a better looking version of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. Self promoting egotists who game the system by seizing control of it. And the scariest part is this is the best the Dems got. Everybody's latched onto that on the right now. His wife. Oh yeah. Yeah. That might keep him from running. It could. And he might not even tell, he might not even be honest with his own wife about why he decides not to run. Because he can say, I just decided I didn't want to put the kids through it. Not because I found out there's a lot of stuff you've said over the years. I'm going to have to answer for it and it can be easy. Yeah. Yeah. Hey honey, you know the part of the Democratic Party, the 90% of Americans say they hate. You're it. You're that. You're like you've become already the symbol of it. Love you babe. But yeah. All those things. That's what you say all the time. Where the queen of the part of the party that Bill Maher and others say keeps us from winning elections. Yes. I wonder, given the sexual fever that egomaniacs have for getting to the White House, it could lead you to, you know, we all rationalize things all day long. I wonder, can he rationalize a way having his wife just become a national laughing stock? It's like, no, no, no, I'll call them out. I'll say she's not the candidate I am and that'll stop it. Because he's so, I mean, I often say like a 17 year old is lustful for the gentle touch of a woman. I just, I wonder whether he can put aside. That would not work. That would not work. That would not work. I mean, it might work if you had a spouse who, you know, had some baggage, but she's not political. She says, you know, hey, I'm the president, but she is going to be, we're running, you know, as co-presidents. She's going to be that time. Well, not only that, but she believes she's on a, whatever the secular equivalent of a sacred mission is. She's on a sacred mission to spread her philosophy to everyone. So she's not going to want to let him back out. She's going to be like, no, we're going to fight for what we believe, which is woke nonsense. Hey kids, it's that time again. With Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up the day of the week. Mike Langelow, lead us off with final thought. All right. This is for adults that are going to an Easter egg hunt. Let the little kids get the eggs. Do not knock the little kids over. You're an adult. Yeah. I've seen it with my own eyes. Wow. They're a little Osama bin Ladens, aren't they? The strong horse, et cetera. Katie Green or a steam news woman has a final thought, Katie. I would love to hear Gavin and Jennifer like in just a slight disagreement going back and forth. Oh boy. And then he would try to make a point and she'd go, hmm. You have aggressive hell is what I'm missing. Yeah. Yeah. Jack, a final thought for us. That was a good reminder, Michael, after all of my Western civilization Christianity values the weak stuff earlier this hour. I was the emcee of a giant Easter egg hunt one time and watching moms push down little kids to get more candy for their own kid was one of the most horrible things I've ever seen. Oh yeah. It was horrible, Katie. It was a great promotion. Mom's just like elbowing down little kids so they could get ridiculous amounts of candy. I mean, more than you could ever need in your lifetime. What? How humans actually are illustrated right there. My final thought is two words long. Go Illini. Fighting Illini in the final four playing Saturday night. Maybe in the national championship game on Monday. Monday, yeah. Monday, yeah. Monday. And that will reflect well on me and make me cooler as an individual. And if they lose, will we get some sort of stupor, sports or a stupid waste of time screed? Uh, probably, yeah. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour work day. I got a worthless degree from them 40 years ago. So many people to thank. So little time. Go to armstrongandgetty.com. God bless America. I'm strong and getty. Just another quick thing. As we head out the door. Bill Clinton, I've been working on this, should have paid less attention to Thong and more attention to Jong. Ill. And because it rhymes, it's more powerful. What?
