Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Kaddy.
Arm Strong and and He Armstrong and.
Everybody who works on the show, Michael, Katie Hansen, Joe and I. By the end of the segment needless five things we've done in the last week to justify our jobs. The five things that we've accomplished in the last week that can justified.
Our continuing bullets.
I picked up a watt in favorite tell in the bathroom that I didn't need to, and I just thought it'd look nicer without it.
I watched a lot of television that seems like a good idea live from studio.
See other than that, nothing springs to mind season your dimly lit room, blah blah blah blah. Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Elon Musk, apparently for better or worse. I was talking to some people who actually work in the federal government who got that email where you got to come up with five things to justify your job, And some of them said it was quite easy. And some of those who said it was quite easy said they know those who it's a bit
of a struggle to come up with five things. They have to get a little creative to come up with five things that they actually do.
So it depends on who you are and what your job is.
I guess this might be the absolute emblematic Trumpian move or Muskian move. Who knows if Trump even knew Elon was gonna send it out. Maybe not a good question, but it's exactly It's the perfect symbol of the Trump reality we're living in right now. In principle, I love it as an idea, Hey, what do you actually accomplish? What are you doing for your pay that's paid by the American taxpayer. That is a one hundred percent legitimate inquiry.
It ought to be happening all the time, as it does in the private sector all the damn time.
And you know what, in about six months, we're gonna ask you.
Again and or just watch you and figure it out for ourselves.
In principle, beautiful.
In reality, you got a bunch of Trump's own departments saying what, no, don't do that, you don't have to do that. What's good, it's it's flailing, it's print. Okay, it's good in principle, but just too fast, too much, too nutty. Why do you think those the departments reacted that way, some of them, the FBI and others saying no, no, no, no, no, you don't need to fill out that list. Why do
you think what was the going on there? Including some of Trump's direct The point is it's uh well that that mechanism doesn't exist, that you report to Elon Musk on the internet or you get hired from your federal job. I mean, I think federal employees in their unions have weigh too many protections. Well they just I mean, if Jeff Bezo says no, no, forget that, I want to know how much you can lift, I'm.
Much waiting till you lift overread. I mean what then?
And then Bill Gates says, I need to know what kind of car you drive by the end of the day, right exactly, and what you're Well, they's just compiling information, isn't he? And I don't so I responded to some Democratic senator I'd never even heard of. It's funny how there are only one hundred senators, but like most of well, most people can't name one senator. And then people who follow politics a lot can name like six, because it's always the same six.
And then but then there's a whole bunch of.
Other senators like the pop up now, and then you think you're a US senator I've never heard of again, I don't recall it name anyway, some Democratic US senators. She tweeted out, Elon Musk is not our boss and we are not gonna blah blah blah blah.
I read I.
Retweeted that with the response to her. Yet, no, no, Elon Musk is not. But US taxpayers are. And I think a lot of US taxpayers are pretty interested in what do all you people do? What did you do last week? As a taxpayer, I'm interested, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree completely portraying, it is portraying. It is answering to Elon Musk as opposed to answering to taxpayers.
I don't think it's accurate. Although no, it is accurate.
It's one hundred percent accurate, and the other one's a hundred for accurate too.
That's the problem there is this is not a thing.
Is the kids say this is not He has no power to compel anybody to do anything like that. Well, I mean he can ask them to and that's fine, there's no legal power.
Like all the lawyers in.
All the departments, including Trump appointees, are going to judges and saying, we don't know what's going on.
We don't. The judge says, what's what? What law are you resting on?
And the lawyers are saying and this is literally literally, and this is from a person who loathes progressives.
Keep in mind, I want Trump to succeed.
This is why I criticize, not because I want him to fail, because I want him to succeed his.
Own lawyers are going to the court and the judges.
Are saying, what laws are you guys, restaurant? And the lawyers say, we don't really know, And then all right, what sort of facts are you bringing to bear that we don't know that either, I don't know. They just sent us here to argue it. Well, it's flailing, is there?
Well?
Is there a way to do it that's not FLAILINGK I mean, there's so many protections for everybody.
Is the is the only alternative to this to just let it continue the way it is?
Oh, you have the head some you have the heads of departments who you appointed and are now managing within the next few months or so, say hey, we could absolutely afford a ten percent reduction in our workforce. Absolutely there will be a hiring freeze. Anybody who resigns or retires, we're not going to replace him. I was talking to a federal armor You can everybody write an essay and send it to deer Elon Musk.
My name is Jim.
I work in the Department of Agriculture, specifically in the Sorghum division. What I do is I go to Sorgham Farms and tell the farmer, Oh, come on, bye, chalk this one out. Label this segment. Joe's for big government. Apparently Joe's for a federal workers just wasting our tax money him the way I'm taking it, I was talking to a federal employee who their particular department. I have
lost a bunch of people last week. They were people that were within that first couple of years where you can still fire them, and they're gone, and everybody's horrified at how they're going to get their jobs done with less employees and being doing two people's jobs and all that sort of stuff. And again I say, I mean, it sucks for you, but again, welcome to everybody. Else's life. My answer would be, how are you gonna get all that work done? Let's find out exactly. Well, that's why
it's worked. I only know one industry, the radio industry, for the past forty years of my life. But that has happened around here over the last couple of decades. We're just you know, Jim's gone. You have Jim's job.
Now. I was busy before. How am I going to do my job and Jim's done? I don't know.
Figure it out. Has been the answer for people the private sector for a long time, right right, Jack has exclusively been in the radio business. I run a website, an online shopping center for marital aids, and I can tell you that that market is you've got to be very, very efficient because you know, anybody can sell those things and they're all more or less the same. So it's all about, you know, keeping the costs low. Well, you've got your only fans page. But you're self employed. You
work whatever hours you want to work. And that's one of the exacts exactly. And who wouldn't like to lay around pleasuring themselves all day for a living?
Oh my god, Oh my god, I was you.
Know, it's funny, I got sucked into a little clickbait if an only fans woman explaining her day, and she was making a lot of money. She was making like low mid six figures, three hundred and fifty grand something like that.
Oh is that possible.
I just don't understand how there's the demand for the supply.
But anyway, go on.
But to to get that, you've constantly got to post new content. And whether you're actually m doing the on camera work or the editing and marketing and social media and stuff like that, it's it's it's a pretty good work day.
But to spend one to four hours a day.
Just probing yourself, et cetera, I just seems like an odd way to live. Well, not specifically only fans, but just any of those websites, anything online in general. That's one of mister Beasts things he tells all the young people. Don't think that this is something you can just do kind of as a hobby. It I mean, it has to dominate your life. You work constantly to be able.
The actual content is seriously the tip of an iceberg. Yeah, and you want to provide it, and you have to provide it constantly and as p Diddy would tell you it's just tremendous amount of lubrication. So if you so, yes, it's only fans women, justify your job. What are five things you've accomplished in the last week? You'd say, Well, I'm masturbated a thousand times. I bought some high heels. Uh, let's see, I put this in my that and also that over here. I went to a tanning bed, and
so let's easily easily justified. Way this is the worst digression perhaps and they of the show history.
I blame myself. Well, you came out pro government. We need to do. We have into the switching topic.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is Monday, February twenty fourth of the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong in getting we approve of this program right new week. Let's start it here we go according to the FCC rules and regulations. I want to see those FCC commissioners and justify any paycheck they get.
Please, what do you people do? Anyway? Here we go at Mark.
My message to young men is, don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man. Because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you're competitive. O. Our message, the cultural message, and I think the presidents in mine is
the exact opposite. But our cultural message is I think that it wants to turn everybody into whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same, and act the same.
We actually think.
God made male and female for a purpose, and we want you guys to thrive as.
Young men and as young women.
And we're gonna help with our public policy to make it possible.
To do that.
Love it.
Jd Evans justifying toxic masculinity details to come in comparison with the horrors that would have been visited upon our fair country had the moron from California one the presidency. I am so so happy with most what's happening. Like I said before, I am criticizing some of the methodology because I wanted to succeed, not because I wanted to fail. Oh that reminds me, speaking of Kamala, we need to introduce the elephant round into American politics like they do
in Germany. We need the elephant round the what now that'd be awesome. We'll talk about that later. I just learned about this yesterday with the German election. Maybe i'll tell you about that next. The Elephant Round we should we should start doing that, let's all vote for it.
Among other things.
It's the three year anniversary the start of that horrifying war in.
Ukraine, which we'll be talking about that. Plus we've got.
Katie's headlines coming up in moments stay here. So that's a three year anniversary of the war and Ukraine beginning with Vladimir Putin launching the most vile and evil war from a major country since World War Two.
He started it there, let there be no question. And it fits in with.
The German presidential elections I had over the weekend, certainly played a role. And then we'll talk about what the Elephant round is, which I just learned yesterday that they have in their politics that we should have more. It sounds like it's ready to start the next segment. One more note on jd Vance's quote that we opened the show with, and we'll get to a little more of that down the line. But I was coming to my wife last night and a misogynist is the last thing
I am. I'm the proud dad of two wonderful, brave daughters and you know, super proud of them and want them to have great life.
Blah blah blah blah blah. End of the disclaimer.
There's a new show on NBC, I can't remember one of the big networks, the Pit or something. It's about some super secret classified prison with the worst of the worst, psychopathic terrorists to multiple murdering lunatics, and there's some big prison break and who do they send to really bring them in, these violent, horrifying individuals, And it's gonna be
a bloodbath to get them. One hundred and ten pound hotty woman, which is about as likely as a three hundred and seventy pound white guy being an Olympic sprinter. You might as well have a drama show about a three hundred and seventy five pound white guy winning the one hundred meter dash in the Olympics. It's utterly ridiculous, but it's part of that whole bizarre, idiotic, unrealistic women kick ass thing.
Sure they do, but not at that. Okay, we gotta get to Katie's headlines.
Dewey Dewey, like Elon Musk handed out edicts right and laugh.
All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story.
It's Katie Green, starting with the Associated Press. Federal workers face mass confusion as Musk's deadline to list accomplishment's looms.
I really, you know, I want government workers who aren't needed to go.
I really do.
But a little tip from old Jack, who's been shooting for a bee his whole life and found workarounds for a lot of things. I have a feeling that if you put down practically anything on a piece of paper, he'll be okay. I just don't think there's gonna be room or time or money for scrutiny to like really nail down. Are you sure you had an appointment at three o'clock last Thursday. It reminds me of what I was told about, Like the steroid tests in baseball. It's
not a steroid test, it's an intelligence test. If you're not smart enough to get around it, you don't deserve to play well. I think that was part of it. Elon said. But if you don't want to do that, then feel free to resign. I think it might be a if you're not even willing to try to justify your job get I think that might be part of it.
And in the same vein from the Washington Post, several administration officials tell their workers not to reply to Elon Musk's email.
Yeah, could this be the beginning of the Trump Musk feud that everybody anticipates at some point, I don't know.
From the Wall Street Journal, HESBLA once dominant and Lebanon shows new signs of weakness.
They're broke.
The hohothis fired it on one of our fighter jets over the weekend. First time they've done that. So that was that was exciting. National Review Editorial Board says it's time to unleash Hell. I agree completely.
From Axios, Zelenski says he's ready to resign if it brings peace to Ukraine or if Ukraine can join NATO.
Yeah, we got a lot on Ukraine later on the three year anniversary.
Today it's week Donald Trump celebrates Joy reid cancelation quote least talented people.
Joy Reid's show is going away on a MNSNBC. You probably don't know who she was, and you never watched it, but she was horrible and she's gone. I wonder if they canceled it because it's a steaming pilot craft.
Nobody watched. That's my theory.
Hie buy the Star Reporter, Tiger King Job, Exotic Release's new quote, powerful love making song from prison.
You Dick, You and Nick just move on Oi. And finally the methy Inmate Love.
You.
The Babylon Bee paternity test reveals Luke Skywalker's father is actually Elon.
Musk Oh, we gotta talk about that.
How about that chick who roped him into having a baby with her and her texts came out over the weekend, and that's really an interesting story.
Just saw the headline don't know the deats.
Yeah, that's a good one and oh yeah, we'll talk about it more later. So what's the elephant round in politics in Germany? We need to start having out in the United States, among other things.
There's lots to.
Talk about today. We got to catch up from the whole weekend. Have you missed a segment? Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Armstrong and Getty. Russian launching its biggest ever drone strike on Ukraine. The capital city of Kiev under attack.
Ukraine has weathered assaults like these every single day for almost three years. Yeah, it's a three year anniversary of the bombs beginning to fall and Russia invading Ukraine completely unjustifiedly in every way possible and killing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, if you include their own soldiers, and it's just absolutely awful. And so we'll be talking more about that later and play some sound from what it sounded like three years ago today, when the whole
thing's started. This is from the Wall Street Journal today, which is interesting. President McCrone is at the White House meeting with Trump today. The Macrone the leader of France, and the Wall Street Journal writing Britain and France are developing a plan to deploy up to thirty thousand European peace coup keepers call them troops. They're troops in Ukraine
if Moscow and Kiev reach a cease fire deal. But the European proposal hinges on persuading President Trump to agree to a limited US military role, which he and Hegzad have said is off the table, dubbing that a backstop by British officials to protect the European troops in Ukraine if they were put in danger and deter Russia violating an e c's fire, I think more than the or along with the idea that our troops would be very helpful if Russia who were attacked to the European troops,
it would be okay, it's on now. The United States is now, you know, in a war with Russian, right, we'll be okay. I don't I don't see Trump and hexetha green.
Do you about.
Establishing the air defense system with our technology and consultants, training personnel, and that's it, something like that, some half measure, no fly zone enforcement, blah blah blah.
Yeah, we'll see where these negotiations go.
I thought it was interesting Zelensky saying over the weekend that he'd be he'd be happy to step down if if that somehow gets us closer to a peace deal.
Very bad at being a dictator, terrible.
Yeah, I guess that's the reason you say that, to make it clear for anybody who wasn't sure that he's not a dictator.
The dictator is Vladimir Putin.
Anyway, Again, like I said, what, we'll have more on the whole Russia Ukraine thing later. So I'm this is a complicated thing that's going on, and some of it is important.
About the tone, I guess, or however far it goes.
So all this Jdvans goes to Europe and gives that speech about you know, some of our European friends and they got problems within and their free speech stuff and this and that, and they need to step up and support themselves and everything like that. So Germany has their election over the weekend and the Conservatives win and this new guy, Fred Mertz, if you're old enough to remember the Honeymooners, Fred Mertz is now going to be the leader of Germany.
By the way, I'll just step in right here. I'm gonna step.
In right here so we don't get eight hundred more emails because I said the same thing. Fred Mertz was the neighbor on I love Lucy, not the Honeymooners.
I don't care. I just don't want to get any more email. You know, it's funny.
I was thinking, Okay, cool, is Joe's going to jump in with something important that I need to know about the whole European, NATO, us UK.
No, it was which show is fred Mertz on? That's Katie.
I'm really happy that Joe is doing this because they tracked me down on Twitter to let me know to let you know.
Now you're a young person, have you ever seen any of these?
Yeah?
You have?
Okay, yes, I never know what people have seen. Reruns are not all the Honeymooners are. It's like twenty five years before I was born. I was We saw them back when there are only a couple of channels and they ran, and now there's eight gazillion things you could watch every single day.
I have no idea age of every runs. Don't worry. Yeah, yeah, for.
The record, I couldn't give a crap if that was the professor's real name on Gilligan's Island. But I just want to just stop getting the emails. So there we were, There we are? Where were we? Attack by the true dictator?
Yeah? So Fred Mertz is gonna run.
He's the leader of the moderately conservative party that kicked out the old lefty party there in Germany. And he gave a speech yesterday and the ultra Conservatives had their biggest showing they've ever had, a lot of it around immigration and a bunch of other stuff. But so this new guy, Fred Mertz, he gives a speech in the Elephant Round, which we need to start having here in the United.
States, there is it's begun.
At the end of an election, they have what they called the Elephant round, and they bring in everybody who was running into one room and they sit at a table and they discuss the issues and how I can't imagine that happening in the United States. I mean in the United States, it would just be probably two people, maybe three or four if you're gonna be a really general just before election day. No, at the end of
the election, after you've picked the winner. They did it last night, So after fred Mertz is declared you know he's going to be the winner, they all sit down and it's a big TV show that everybody watches, with everybody ran, you know, say in all their crap that you say in elections, and then sitting down and have a conversation about where do we go from here? And I find that fascinating. I don't know what that would look like in the United States. I don't know what
German elections are like. Do they do? They are there elections like ours where people say all kinds of wild crazy s that can't come ever, ever come true, and you know, and then say that if that person wins, it's the end of democracy and then abandon that the moment the election is over.
I mean, so, I don't know what it would look like.
I'm not an expert on German elections, but they're exceedingly polite and gentle menly by our standards, very issues orient they should be compared to ours. But anyway, during the elephant round, this new guy, fred Mertz, who's running the thing, said, my goal is to make us as independent and Europe is independent from the United States as we can possibly be. We need to be able to stand on our own.
We can't count on the United States anymore. So it's being portrayed by you know, Trump haters as Look, Europe can't count on us, our best allies, can't count on us anymore. Whereas I'm hoping for more of a nuanced they're getting the lesson that they.
Need to be able to support themselves.
It can't be the United States supplying their defense forever it doesn't work. Yeah, this is a great example of both things being true. Has Trump pissed off and shaken up our European allies maybe more than he needed to, Yeah, you could absolutely make that our On the other hand, if fred Mertz with the support of both Lucy and DESI were to beef up their defenses, start living up to their obligations, and be strong enough to be fairly independent from the United States, that would make them an
ally worth having. I don't think it's that complicated a reality.
We mentioned this last week.
You mentioned it. Let me read from it. This is from the New York Times in twenty eleven. You might remember from the date that Barack Obama was the President of the United States, and his Secretary of Defense is who.
We're quoting here.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates sharply criticized NATO nations on Friday forty said were shortages of military spending and political will, warning of a dim, if not dismal future and irrelevance for the Alliance and less more core members contributed weapons,
money in personnel. In his final policy speech before he stepped down again, this is Obama's sect death issued a dire and unusually direct warning that the United States, a traditional leader and patron of the Alliance, was exhausted by a decade of war and its own mounting budget deficits, and simply might not see NATO as.
A group we need to be involved with in the future.
So that happened in Obama because it's freaking true. It's just absolutely true. So the whole our allies can't count on us anymore. Okay, this has been going on for a while giving that message. First of all, unfortunate flashbacks to my high school garden guidance counselor when you said a dim if not dismal future.
That was such an uncomfortable meeting.
So like every report card I ever got had that scrawled at the bottom, Jack as a dim if not dismal future unless he buckles down.
That's funny anyway.
It's you know, it reminds me the press's relationship with Trump is. It's so I mean, it's become so obvious at this point it's a little try to even talk about it. Not only is he their ratings promotion and their desperate click bait fodder.
But the relationship is a great deal.
Like you know, if you have a really crumbling relationship, personal relationship where you just criticize the other, you find fault with the other person for everything they do, even if it's the same things you do, the same things you did two weeks ago, it's just completely nonsense.
At this point.
And Trump is a bull in a china shop. Absolutely, he antagonizes where he doesn't need to, but to get to the core demand, which is what is important. Yeah, it's exactly like Obama and his people. But you saying, now, okay, that's fine, you know, you can say whatever you want. But is it possible, oh, thank you? What is this Germany if even has three speech but we will tell you what free spece?
Is it possible to pull ourselves away from.
News story and then defending or criticizing Trump. Is it possible to leave Trump out of this and just discuss the fact that Europe needs to get stronger and be more military capable, militarily capable, and be able to defend itself and not think, you know, we can spend all our money on ridiculous social programs and people retiring at fifty because the United States will come if we're ever invaded by Russia.
That's got to end.
Were it only Germany that would be a worthy discussion, it's also France and Britain. Does Spain even have a gun? I mean, just all the European countries except for maybe Sweden and Finland that are pretty hard asked and increasingly so because they're so close to Vladimir Putin's expansionist Tsarist Russia. Starting in second grade, bottom of the report card. Oh boy, Jack still can't tie his shoes, and we project a
dim and dismal future if he doesn't try harder. Well, here's a proposition we can all understand, no matter how dim, from our friends at Prize Picks.

My birthday weekend. It's just no know what's going on there. Part of my brain broke. I love tacos. I apparently love chicken fish steak. I apparently love gluttony.
Just a minute, it might be a glutton I gotta look up the definition of glutton I might actually be should you should take a look at the mirror, if you got a big enough mirror. I want the mirror they have in nice hotels that slim you so you look nicer.
I need the slimming mirrors. That's what I need.
We've got mail bag on the way and and a lot more news of the day.
Here's our text line four.
Definition of gluttony, according to my Merriam Webster, excess in eating or drinking, greedy or excessive indulgence in uh taking in food. Sounds like that, sounds like me, apparently, I am that uh. Trump got into a war awards with some governors over the weekend around the whole transathlete thing, and the New York Times out with some new polling on that how Americans feel about that issue. He's so on the right side of this. I mean, it's not even close. But we'll get to that an how or two.
Can't wait. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, the Great George.
Washington with Jack requested last week, So let's do a week of great George Washington quotes.
My favorite.
If the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent, we may be led.
Like sheep to the slaughter.
I mentioned to a guy over the weekend Iminette's clothing store, and I said, it's my birthday today. So he said, oh, happy birthday. My birthday's tomorrow and I said, oh, cool, your birthday's Washington's birthday. He said, yeah, yeah, he said. You know. I say that to people, and people most of the time say who I thought, really, WHOA?
Really? Whoa? If you.
Deny people their history, they forget who they are and hurry easily molded into what you want them to be, or well spelled it out fairly eloquently in.
A couple of books. Mail bag.
What the progressives who are trying to get confused adolescent boys into girls' sports are the same people who refuse to teach about the great George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, that sort of thing. They're denying us our history. It is Marxism one one boi. Anyway, let's see Fred Merz was on I Love Lucy not the Honeymooners who we covered that. You can drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong
and Giddy dot com. We should probably mention that once a segment so people listening to the podcasts will stop bleading. We've emails Glad we've cleared up the issue of the day. Yeah, absolutely the issue that's been tearing America. Part Happy Birthday, Jack writes Frequent, corresponding to MONI, I think you said you're gonna have some time to yourself. Hope was nice and relaxing. Perhaps you even lifted your baked good band for the day and were able to down a couple
of pies just because you have a general band. In effect, doesn't mean you can't have a couple of pie windows that open up each year. Pie windows. That's when I need a Pye window. Don't allow mission creep around those pie windows. I did need to talk about what I did on my birthday and how you hold on to that feeling. I think we've all experienced this before. But anyway, stay tuned.
Uh yeah, yeah, interesting.
How about French camp Pat on the topic of sixty Minutes. It's funny Pat, you had and a similar experience to me last night. Guys have had some reservations regarding some of the Trump administration's actions the j six pardons, tariffs, Doge and others, But after watching sixty Minutes the last two weeks and their aggressive, unfair criticism of Trump, I'm confident Trump is doing the right things.
Oh my god, yes, wow, that is is there.
Have we come up with a term for that if we If we have it, don't recall essentially the obnoxiousness of the media and many Democrats, which we'll get into, you know soon during the show, just drives you into the Trump camp.
Yeah, like, yeah, he can be a real a hole.
But I tell you who, I'm not ever going to join forces with you lunatics.
Moving along, Paolo.
I think there are two categories of DEI supporters, those who believe racism is justified and those who sincerely believe that racism has no part of DEI programs. The first group are just racists. I think they're often disingenuous. They don't admit racism. They try to justify it, probably because they know it's steep hill to climb. Indeed, they generally deny it. They cannot be persuaded to modify their beliefs or even discuss them in good faith.
You're absolutely right.
Yeah, they're activists, neo Marxist activists. The second group is either uninformed or naive, or they've been gaslated by the first group. This group will listen to reason, they can be one over. But how let's hope the second group is larger than the first.
Yeah.
Multiple times over the weekend with Trump firing that black chairman of the joint whatever over there again. We'll talk about that later, But several times over the weekend I heard news outlets report DEI as an effort to have more diversity in our workplaces.
Right, that's the cover story.
Yeah, that's the insidiously clever cover story because they know they exploit our goodness. They know Americans aren't racists, and they say, you gotta be down with this, or you're a racist.
