Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm Strong and Getty. And now, Keith Armstrong and Getty.

1:01Hey, there were Armstrong and Getty. You've tuned in the best weekend talk show in America. Gee, I find myself wondering whether AI will kill all human beings. I sure hope not. But boy, we talked about it and quoted some experts this week. Plus, Marco Rubio hates communism and the Lindsey Clancy trial. Oh, controversy. Yeah, if you like this stuff, you should check out our podcast. We do 20 hours of live radio every week. Look for Armstrong and Getty on demand wherever you get podcast. This is the best weekend talk show in America. Three of the 12 jurors are speaking out about the events that led to the mistrial and Massachusetts. Revealing the panel was deadlocked 11 to 1. Three female jurors went on in those interviews on TV to describe that their arguments got so loud that the six alternates could actually hear them outside the room. They went on to say that the soul hold out refused to listen to the rest of the jurors, including nurses on the panel. So we're about to hear from the three females who have done some interviews.

2:05Do you have any thoughts on stuff you've heard so far about the conversations as a former juror? Just the idea that they should pay special regard to nurses. I find interesting. I wouldn't say it's ridiculous, but it's not a compelling argument. Anyway, let's hear from some of these jurors. He was very arrogant. He really did not take anything that anybody said. The nurses, he tried to ask a question about the medications and we went back to the report from social hospital. We had the toxicology report. We could see exactly the amounts. The nurses in their room spoke to that and talked to the jury. Yes. They spoke to that specific thing. That was a question that he had. And he just completely disregarded the information that they gave him.

3:05So I think we're going to have to go through these before we get into our conversation. Sure. Roll on. He admitted he had reasonable doubt after we watched that video of the interview. I think that's what it was. He admitted he had reasonable doubt. And I started filling out the forms. I was so excited. I actually did with three forms. I had a fill out. And I started filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one. And then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of incident. So, okay. I'm having trouble keeping my head wrapped around this in the same way that I can't deal with time changes very well. I can't ever figure out what spring forward fallback means. I'm having trouble with this one. And so in most states, I killed somebody. And I don't want the chair. I got to convince the jury I'm crazy.

4:07That's correct. But in Massachusetts, it's what? Not only is it the prosecution's duty to prove that the defendant was criminally responsible at the time of offense, they must prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. So the same standard that applies for a conviction where the government takes away your freedom or your money or whatever, applies to whether you are criminally responsible. But so like if I had a... Bar. But there, if I say I'm crazy, they got to prove I'm not crazy. Correct. The prosecution does. Yeah. Wherever he is, everywhere else, the defense has to prove they're trying to get me all... keep me from getting the chair. They have to prove I'm crazy. And the jury, they're not. My understanding is Massachusetts is an extremely rare case of that. In Massachusetts, if I say I'm crazy, you have to assume he's crazy unless somebody can prove beyond a reasonable doubt he's not.

5:07Right. Wow, that's a really different way to approach it. Wow, one more jury. Not sure if Rogue is the right word to, but every one of us in the hours of a frustration would get up and walk the room. Because you just couldn't sit anymore. And would all go to the cart with the exhibits. He, he, I think got up to the cart once very quickly and went back to his seat. He would not, he would not interact with us and, and try to understand, we read to him on numerous occasions the definition of a reasonable doubt from Judge Sullivan's instruction. He actually said one day in the end, well why don't we have the judge come in and read it again? And we were like, no, we have it in front of us. We don't need that. And we would highlight it and, you know, so and so, this is the definition of a reasonable doubt.

6:14But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children. Yeah, well, you know, I can understand why it's a difficult thing to get past the fact that she strangled three little kids. And you had to look at their pictures over and over again and all that sort of stuff. And that leaves a mark. But for the whole. I didn't follow trial every single day. It's hard for me to imagine how you could prove to me beyond a reasonable doubt that she's not crazy. Well, right. There are 14, maybe 15 states where the burden is on the state. Once the defense defense introduces credible evidence of mental defect, the prosecution was proved the defendant's sanity beyond a reasonable doubt. That is an odd thing to demand. 30, the other states except for five, I'm sorry, except for four say the defendant bears the burden approving. They were insane usually by a preponderance of evidence or clear and convincing evidence.

7:17So it's interesting that the few states, including Massachusetts, that put the burden on the prosecution not only put the burden on the prosecution, but they have a much higher standard. There are four states, Idaho, Kansas, Montana and Utah that do not permit a traditional insanity defense at all. I don't know how that works. Exactly. If you're completely fruit loops, but yeah, that's it's it is the absolutely underdiscuss to apps the aspect of this trial. Well, so there are five charges that they had available to them. Those 11 wanted which one? A quiddle. Which would have been she walks out of the courtroom? No, no. Years and years and years of care in a mental health facility with annual appraisals of whether she was a danger to herself and others. Okay. Keeping in mind this, this woman is now apparently allegedly completely sane and is completely aware she choked her three children to death. Yeah.

8:17So at the point she's no longer a suicide risk call me at home. I'm not going to wait for your call. Yeah, that's a lot of people have commented on that. Just she's no longer a danger to society. As long as she doesn't give birth to another child. Yeah, we got one text who said, how is she not like you got to keep me locked up? I mean, look, look, look, look, look, look what I'm capable of. Just I can snap and do this sort of thing. There's something wrong with me. Yeah. Horrible. Yeah. So what a weird thing all the way around. So what do you think of the whole about? You think he was just letting his disgust with what she did override his following the law? I'm conflicted here because I agree with his conclusion.

9:17On the other hand, it seems to me a pretty clear case of what they'll sometimes call jury nullification, where the juror says, yeah, I understand that's the law, but the law sucks. I'm not going to be party to it. And that shouldn't happen. It's just it's not a good thing to happen in general. That's not your job as a juror, but I understand. Oh, and this is an extreme case. Oh, yeah. Oh, no way. I don't care what you say. I can't vote to equip this woman. Right. I've seen the pictures. I know what she did. Yeah. Like I said, I can understand it. Oh, that's a rough one. So do you have more on that topic or I thought this was about as well put an expression of this sentiment I have come across? I do not know this gal's name, but here she is 68, Michael. Okay. I'm a busy client to child. I feel like maybe I missed the mark because I've been seeing all of y'all's videos and I'm just I'm just a woman. So maybe I just didn't understand fully. So help me out here. Okay. Because what I have gathered from all of your information that you've put out there is

10:19that women are fully incapable of self governing our emotions and our hormones. So if we murder someone or multiple people, it is absolutely not our fault. It is because of our emotions and our hormones that made us do it because we cannot control it. Unless we went to the doctor and we got put on medication for these hormones and emotions. But then it's the medications fault. It's not our fault. It's not our hormones and emotions fault anymore because we're on medicine for it. And so then it's the medicines fault if we murder someone unless it's the wrong medicine, too much medicine, not enough medicine. Then it's the doctor's fault. It's definitely not our fault as women. It is the doctor's fault or the medications fault or hormones and emotions. But you know what else we are? We are women. We are to be respected. We are to be seen as equal to men. We can do every job that a man can do. We can be the next president. We can be police officers. We can be in house threshold jobs with weapons.

11:20Unless our hormones, unless our hormones get crazy because then our emotions and our hormones could call us to pop off and act some type of way. But it's not our fault. It's not our fault. It is our hormones and our emotions. Unless we're on medicine, then it's the medication. Unless it's the wrong medicine, too much medicine, not enough medicine, then it's the doctors. That's pretty good. That's pretty damn good. Yeah. The response would be, well, postpartum psychosis is a very limited and specific diagnosis of a very specific malady. It's not just emotions and hormones, et cetera, et cetera. On the other hand, the takeaway culturally is pretty much what she said. Well, and then there's been this blurring the lines of postpartum psychosis versus postpartum depression, which is where I think a lot of the support comes in for the various women or us, the country holding their babies up on TikTok, saying me too, or whatever, which is just discussing. Same, Lindsay. Yeah. Yesterday, I saw him on one of the TV shows saying, maybe now we can move out of the dark

12:23ages with the way we handle postpartum depression. So he blurred the lines between postpartum depression and psychosis and claims we're living in the dark ages with the way we handle treat women over this smart lawyer. I bet he played that in the courtroom, too. I don't know. I haven't read the transcript. Or he's preparing for the next go round for. Yeah. Certainly possible. This one is so thorny and disturbing. If someone said to me, look, all of this is really interesting. But if I design a society, it's going to say, if you murder your children, you're going away for good. I would say to that person, yeah, yeah, I see your point. And I think 90% of people would agree with that. Hard to say. It is hard to say. You can get hammered drunk. You killed somebody. You're guilty. You don't get to say, I was drunk. I was out of my mind. I don't even remember it. I don't even know what happened. How about you completely lose your temper and see red?

13:25You're in a state you may never be in again as long as you live, but you have murderous rage for two minutes and person ends up dead. You're guilty. If you're that end drunk, you're guilty. Yeah. And now woman, that little thing she laid out, she's good. She needs to have her own talk show or something. No, she'd compete with us. She sucks, boo. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

14:25Ralph's. Serving so cal for over 150 years. Here's somebody you should shut the hell up. One more AI note. Advancements an AI may soon allow humans to talk with animals, but some groups claim the research could be violating the animals right to privacy. What? Yeah, I know. I know. I know. What? Don't try to wrap my head around this. I don't believe there's any chance we're ever going to be able to talk with animals and then we'll go for a fool. My dog and I talk about you all the time. All right, here's the story. Here's the story. But so we can listen to them talk to each other. That would that be violating their privacy? Well, machine learning models are paving the way to catalog and even mimic the sounds animals make to communicate with each other with researchers touting the technology is a way to better understand the world of animals. I love this. This is an article in Springer nature, whatever the hell that is. Quote, but one risk that is currently not taken into account in research ethics is

15:28the concern that we might be violating the privacy of animals by collecting data on their vocalizations and movements. I want to meet this person. Well, that good lord. Wow, you're an interest in privacy is an interest in controlling how you appear to others. And the complex social lives of many non human animals offer strong support for thinking animals have this interest. So you got to get a warrant to wiretap an ape. Come on. Is this a one party dog state or a two party state? Good lord. So if you eavesdrop on a couple of cats meowing at each other, you've violated the privacy. Yeah, exactly. I'd like a saucer of milk. I'm tired of coughing up airballs. I got a poop again. Work that weird box. Let's see. Now, one thing that they're describing is actually ethically a little bit interesting. That is when we can perfectly mimic the calls of animals. What are the ethics with doing that in the wild?

16:31Because you've got a sophisticated animal like crows. They have an unbelievably sophisticated net of communication that they do. Fascinating beast to crow. Anyway, what are the ethics of broadcasting a cry that they've identified that's essentially hey, come help, come help. As all the crows would use it to some others to help defend the nest, what can we do? That is ethical. That's ethical. Basically, what deer whistles have been or any kind of truth. We shoot them dead. That's right. A duck call, right? Isn't that just what a duck call is? Essentially, yeah. Yeah, it's a good point. All right. I will never spend another second worrying about that. Here's some surprising news. The major big foot sighting in Maine has been declared a guy in a convincing costume. Apparently Maine has been all the Twitter lately that some guy was a uchin about. Bigfoot leaves on the West Coast. There were an unusually high number of calls. Early travels. Another guy walking like this. The woods.

17:32Oh, no big, big foot's a millennial. He doesn't want stuff. He wants experiences. So he's traveled to Maine. The police department noted an unusually high number of calls, but they've launched an investigation and determined that big foot is not real. It is a man in a quote, very convincing costume. I haven't seen that. Beautiful hair. Have you seen the video or picture of this guy? They get a bunch of pictures in this article. Does it look like a big foot or does it look like a guy in a costume? It's fuzzy. So intensely, so you can't tell. In the modern world, there's no excuse for a fuzzy. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

On Australian woman, as given birth to twins conceived by separate fathers. Oh boy. Lady, that was exactly the sort of look that was that was, uh, wait, what? Yeah, the math isn't mathing how? In what is believed to be the country's first such case, the mother from Queensland was carrying a couple's IVF embryo when she became pregnant in the natural fashion. So that's weird. So what? Well, for all we know, um, she is entirely monogamous and reliable as a, as a, as a partner, I jumped to conclusion. And yet, and yet, uh, uh, uh, a surrogate mother. So she gave birth to a boy, which was hers in a girl, which was a different couples as

19:41she was the surrogate. Wow. Uh, in November of last year, apparently, are they considered brother and sister? There was, that's a great question. There's no dispute over parenthood. And the couples have been raising their children separately since their birth. But the case became public because, um, please just split ways that's been real. It's been fun, but ain't been real fun. See you later. Good hang. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you're a good roommate. I appreciate the courtesy, but I'm off. Yeah. Exactly. So this is in court now because the state has surrogacy laws that ban the separation of birth siblings. You can't become a breeding cell and just knock out as many kids twins or triplets or whatever and sell each one to a different couple or whatever. They have laws against that. So one judge is ruled that the babies were not birth siblings under the laws in the unique case. They were gestational twins.

20:41So, hmm, who knows? Sounds like I complicated quickly. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Yeah. I'm not pregnant. Don't be gone having sex with some other. Of course, you probably didn't think I could get pregnant again. Oh, right. Why was she off you late? If you have sex with your pregnant, why are you off you late? You know, like if you have sex with your pregnant wife, you don't think, oh, God, this is going to lead to twins. You don't think that or maybe two babies three months apart or six months or maybe a baby every month and a half. Your wife would kill you for that and you would deserve it. Aren't strong and get it.

Why does food come in bowls, capitalism? They are intended to add sophistication to the menu, but bowls don't fill you up and show one thing above all. The triumph of capitalism. It is the idea that they're trying to keep you hungry or something like that. I don't know. I can't get bogged down in all these because there's so many of them. Boles as opposed to plates, saucers and even the humble platter. Why do most people prefer monogamy? That's capitalism from this PhD. Monogamy culture is consumed with ideas about possession and hoarding. It's romantic capitalism. Yes. Why you care whether or not your kid is genetically your kid is capitalism. The rise of capitalism changed the way we had sex as soon as we started passing money

22:47and titles down the male line, making sure the kid was actually yours became very important. I think people probably men's, if you've always cared that the kid was actually theirs. But there are a few societies that have existed on Earth that aren't formed up that way. They always cite them as if proof that's the right way to go. It was just the perversity of capitalism that made you care whether somebody was sweating on your wife. Well, you're a worker not. That's capitalism. It's a good point. It's not if you've ever had that feeling of jealousy or whatever. That was capitalism. It wasn't just some natural emotion that we all have. I need to cast off my chains. Honey, get after it. Have fun. Yes, Michael. Honey, this is why we need an open marriage. Capitalism. Why don't you read as much as you want to capitalism? We really have to acknowledge that not enough time to read is part of the theft built into capitalism. Another PhD. Wow. I know. Why do we use solar time instead of lunar time, masculine capitalism?

23:52Lunar phases, women on the internet are saying lately, offer a way to structure time that's in opposition to the 24-hour solar clock, which under girds our capitalist, capitalist masculine society and asks us to be the same person every day. God, that is classic what you're always saying that you have to be an intellectual to buy this stuff. I mean, you would have to be a PhD to start talking about lunar phases and masculine capitalism in the 24-hour solar clock, forcing you to blah, blah, blah. Wow. I'm telling you. I thought I thought I was mentally prepared for this. I am wow. Why does frozen food exist? Capitalism. Yeah. They hate disabled people so much they're out here defending frozen food. It's a meal format that gained mainstream popularity as white women entered the workforce. While at the same time, it became harder to support a family and want salaries and not having a cook met more time for doing capitalism.

24:52That's why frozen food exists. White women in the workforce. I think what they're trying to do is be funnel us into submission with some of these theories. I mean, I've got, wait, wait, wait, you got to slow down. The women that you threw in white there, why white? Just sit out and obey. All right, all right. When I first came across this, I was doing like the deeper guy on each one of them, but there was so many of them. I finally just gave up. Because it's all jargon nonsense that we've, you know, that James Lindsay talks about. It's just paragraphs that you read and you can't figure out what it said anyway. We've talked a lot about this one the whole being on time is capitalism or white supremacy. Why do you have hobbies, capitalism? I really like this one. This is from the Atlantic. The way American culture glorifies and promotes hobbies also serves to reinforce the notion that idleness is wrong. What Gilbert in his book calls the folk wisdom of capitalism. He believes that hobbies reinforce the values of achievement, productivity, progress, which fits into the capitalist mindset.

25:53So hobbies are a way to perpetuate capitalism and not just I also like to play the guitar when I get home at night. It brings me satisfaction. I'm happier while I'm doing it. No, you're not. You're a slave to capitalism. I'm getting a sense that it's like every pet peeve or dissatisfaction in life can be attributed to capitalism. Get to t-shirts that don't fit right and are too tight. Surely I can blame that on capitalism. Following birth weights are capitalism for the obvious reason they're claiming that people are making a conscious decision. Not to have kids, which I don't believe. No, you're not. I like this. Why is weed illegal? Capitalism. Why is weed legal? Capitalism. There's a good piece on both sides. One of it is it was illegal back in the day because we have to work all day and profit the big companies and being high gets in the way of that. So that's why weed was illegal. Then when we became legal, it was more of a cannabis salesman in suits for a product that the ruling class increasingly agrees as a valuable profit opportunity and keeps us passive or something.

27:07Oh boy. Why do you have to charge your phone? Capitalism being at the airport and wanting to listen to YouTube videos but also needing to charge my phone and not being able to do both. Well, without easy to lose air pods makes me want to destroy capital and capitalism more than I already do. So this is why you're... I'm sorry WTF. That one completely lost me. The fact that you have to charge your phone occasionally. You have to make a long lunch per work. But you can't... I can't... You have to charge it with the YouTube and the air pods and the... My air pods are white. The same color as the white supremacy. Think it's a good shot. Stop and think. No. Why do in cells exist capitalism? This woman writing for the Guardian a broken idea of sexist flourishing blame capitalism. Why can't you fall asleep at night on an entire book 24-7 late capitalism in the ends of sleep? Why do people paint their homes beige?

28:08Capitalism. The beige conspiracy American interior design is a symbol of the quiet despair of capitalism and suburban. Well, they got that one right. Oh my god. That's funny. You got a good point there. So much beige. Oh, that's funny. And so many different shades. Why capitalism? Aggel, cottage white, cream, all capitalism. The beige conspiracy. The quiet despair of capitalism and suburbia. Why did those who would parody these people have leaned down their pens? I know. I'll stop here soon. But why didn't Taylor Swift marry Travis Kelsey? I know. I know. Why do people break their leaves capitalism? A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapalist society occurs every year at this time across the country. That's right. That's what I say every time my dad used to make me rank him.

29:08You raised the suicidal knarkoaks and what? The suicidal absurdity of technocapalist society. That's why yo, I break my leaves. I knew it was something like that. Right. Finally, we again, we can cast off our chains together. Why do trans people exist? Two reasons capitalism and capitalism. Why capitalism loves transgenderism and why capitalism hates transgenderism? Transgenderism. So got both sides of that one. Why do you like astrology? That's a good one. Here's another great one. Why do people enjoy vacations? Capitalism writes this finger. I knew it. Are vacations worth it? Do you really recharge and be more productive the rest of the year? Do you make life-changing experiences? Or is it just a well-advertised industry that's great at taking your money and exquisite carrot capitalism has invented? Oh, I'm sorry. No, I meant no. No, I don't take any pleasure from it playing beautiful golf courses with friends and my wife and eating yummy food and looking at beautiful say,

30:12I hate it. Hate it. I'm being exploited. I just knew it. So is it make you feel better than that justifies you're not wanting to go to work or the fact that your job sucks and you just assume everybody's job sucks because you know capitalism? The commonality between all these bizzaro takes on the ills of capitalism and all that it causes. It comes out of the Communist manifesto that the lazy jobless wished somebody else would pay for his stuff marks. The Communist everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. And that's what this is. Every conceivable gripe they say, yeah, that's caused my capitalism. So like every pet peeve a human being has the communist, these neo-Marxists who are disciples of phenomenon is married band of French commies. Anyway, every gripe you could possibly have is tied back to capitalism.

31:16So you will be enlisted in the overthrow of it. It's like the whole queer thing, you know, transgender gay, queer by gender non-conforming brawl, brawl to usvert. But queer, what does queer mean? It means in opposition to the traditional. It's straight out of the Marxist Manifesto. Every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. That's what we're seeing. So, you know, a lot of us grew up with communism kind of being distant and it was a loser. We won in 1989, it's gone away. No, it hasn't not even close. And they don't think that you can take it too far and at some point most people are mocking you because that's ridiculous. I think that's yet another example of it used to be an idea that stupid would get you laughed out of everywhere you went physically. But now you go to the internet and so there's no idea that so stupid you can't find 10,000 people who say,

32:19yeah, you're right. This fascistic deep frozen food or food, food balls is a post-applied system. Yes, the fascist bowl with its concavities. Oh my god. Oh, you know what? I wish we had a little more time for this. We've got a little bit great piece by Mark Penn and Andrew Stein, socialism in the dumbest generation. Young people embrace an ideology that goes against everything they actually believe. He's talking about a big Harvard Harris poll that just came out. You know, and he goes into Marches theory, but 77% of registered voters under 25 believe their paycheck should be based on the merit and value of their work. And that's the smallest cohort, the young folks. 77% say, no, if I do better work and more work, I ought to earn more money. Dude, you're already not a socialist.

33:2268% of these young voters say they want to own their own home. But you remember Zora and Mamdani's director in New York City blah, blah, blah has declared that private property and especially home ownership as a weapon of light supremacy. And that housing should be regarded as a collective good. And then there are a bunch of other 70% of them want to own their own business. Private enterprise. 63% see America is the land of opportunity. And yet they're voting for socialists. The only reason you care about the fact that your kid is actually your kid is capitalism. True. Otherwise you'd be perfectly fine raising some other guy that got with your wife. The Armstrong and Getty Show. Armstrong and Getty. Not every sale happens at the register.

The AFD which is the alternative for Germany, Deutschland, they call it there. Nobody knows why. But it is a farthest right party that's had significant electoral success in a very long time. In fact, in one of the states of Germany, one of the former Eastern, Eastern states, they won about 44% of the vote. And Sunday's big election. And that's sending an earthquake through German politics. Two things you need to understand. Number one, there's been like a wink and not agreement that the main, quote unquote mainstream parties will never form a coalition with these right wingers.

35:27They remind us too much of the Nazis. So because they don't like outsiders, they're trying to stop immigration. So they must be Nazis. And the second thing you have to understand, it's a parliamentary system. So you've got to get a majority. You've got to join with another party to reach 50% plus one. And then you quote unquote form a government. So even in this one state, the AFD doesn't have a majority. But they are now far too big to ignore. And it's causing, like I said, an earthquake in German politics and European politics. Because Germany is the number one economy in Europe. Yeah, I saw the guest assay in the New York Times before the election when it was clear from the polling that this party was going to do so well. Something alarming, alarming is about to happen in Germany. They're really worried about this. And my take after I read just a little bit about it was, yeah, I understand their argument. So this was all about the country changing right before their eyes with practically open borders there for a while under Merkel.

36:27And yeah, people don't like that. I've been saying this forever. And I understand why it isn't obvious to everyone. People like their current, the town they grew up in, the country they grew up in, they like their own language, their own food, their own music. All this talk about diversity is nice, but people like what they had. Nobody says, you know, I'd really wish the town I grew up in spoke a different language. We ate different food and listened to different music. Nobody says that. And then when that happens, people get really upset. That's funny. It just reminded me. I saw another great thread yesterday on the whole diversity thing. Well, speech of Biden talking about diversity, then how the neighborhood he lives in is 99% white. A little speech about Kamala Harris talking about diversity and then the house she lives in the neighborhood is 99%. Wow, that works. Yeah. Yeah, I would answer you with what you just said with it. Yeah, if it were merely that, that would be reason enough because you get to decide immigration policies for your own country. But if the population that is coming in is specifically militantly anti-western civilization in large numbers, anti your culture.

37:35And a militantly expansionist political system masquerading as a religion. Yeah, that's extra, extra bad. And that's what Europe's dealing with. For what is worth all those people including the Europeans, they desperately need young workers to prop up the welfare state. That and their idiotic, you know, up with diversity at all costs attitude. That's what's going on. I thought this part from the New York Times piece was interesting. What makes the AFD's rise especially shocking that it's much more extreme than other European far right parties that are either already in power. Like Georgia, Maloney's brothers of Italy or could be soon like Marine Le Pen's national rally. Well, it's just talking about how this has happened in several other countries. These movements driven a lot by the number of Muslim immigrants you're letting into your country. And people ain't digging it. Yeah, my problem with the AFD is that they are like really cozy with Putin.

38:36They are being the least toward Russia as the great defender of something or other in their anti-helping Ukraine against the Russian onslaught. And I absolutely hate that, but that's what I was referring to last segment. If you essentially declare, all right, the only party that is going to give voice to the anguish of the people over this rampant immigration of a hostile culture. The only people who get to give voice to that is those lunatics on the right. Yes, the same ones who are pro-Putin. Everyone else will pretend it's not a problem. Well, then you're going to see what you get with the AFD. That's going to happen. If you in the mainstream Friedrich Merch you punk ass worthless German. I can't finish my insult, but if you had given voice to the people's unhappiness and fear legitimate fear, you wouldn't have this problem. Right. Yeah, punk. Now, this is the art times version of this, but whereas those parties in the other countries I mentioned have sought in some ways to moderate themselves,

39:40the AFD in Germany has become more radical over time, deepening its ties to neo-Nazis and promising to repatriate migrants, in other words, send people back, as it is done so it has grown only more popular. Well, you got more extreme with your let everybody in, so the other side is going to get more extreme with the no you ain't. It's like the opposite of Bill Clinton and his famous triangulation where he'd be like, you know, a lot of people agree with the Republicans on this. I'm going to go that way. I'm going to clean up welfare and say, you know, we've got to have limitations for the time there's work requirement and that sort of thing. In Europe, they did the opposite about rampant immigration. They pretended it wasn't a problem and now they're eating the yummy, yummy bitter fruit. Armstrong and Getty.
