WEBVTT - I Drink Your Milkshake! 0:00:04.650 --> 0:00:08.489 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:08.530 --> 0:00:10.490 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:10.570 --> 0:00:14.320 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:14.500 --> 0:00:20.030 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.720 Lindsay Clancy broke down in tears as her defense attorney 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:35.180 began closing arguments, comparing photos before and after the killing. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.159 After six weeks of dueling medical experts, jurors will now 0:00:40.229 --> 0:00:44.430 have to decide whether Clancy was sane and acted intentionally. 0:00:44.490 --> 0:00:46.770 Man, what a tough job that would be in a jury. 0:00:47.690 --> 0:00:50.589 They're deliberating right now. This is just breaking. The jury 0:00:50.650 --> 0:00:54.350 is asked to see two bags of pills. and a knife. 0:00:54.610 --> 0:00:56.930 I don't know what role the knife plays. I've been 0:00:56.950 --> 0:00:59.010 following it that closely. What'd she do with a knife? 0:00:59.030 --> 0:01:03.840 Not familiar. Um, Oh, she cut herself, uh, before she 0:01:03.900 --> 0:01:07.880 hurled herself out of the window. The defendant is Clancy. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.040 Oh, you know, this is, this is probably an argument 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.560 for her being crazy. Uh, who kills themselves by jumping 0:01:16.620 --> 0:01:18.570 out of two story window. 0:01:18.690 --> 0:01:23.540 Of a suburban house? Yeah. What, what, I'm going to 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.340 cut myself some and jump out of a window, but 0:01:26.420 --> 0:01:29.740 just the second story. I mean, that's, which is almost, 0:01:30.270 --> 0:01:33.190 I don't mean to be, you know, flip about this 0:01:33.270 --> 0:01:35.789 or an idiot, but that's a weak attempt. 0:01:36.190 --> 0:01:40.470 Oh no kidding. Who would jump out of two story 0:01:40.490 --> 0:01:43.030 window and think I'm going to break my, my legs 0:01:43.170 --> 0:01:45.020 or my arm or whatever. I'm not going to die. 0:01:45.150 --> 0:01:46.810 I'm going to lay there in pain until somebody comes 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:47.860 and takes me to the hospital. 0:01:48.390 --> 0:01:52.250 It's actually fairly unlikely you'd end up partially paralyzed. 0:01:51.890 --> 0:01:54.770 Like she did. She got a really bad result from 0:01:54.990 --> 0:01:58.490 that really weak effort at killing herself. So, I don't know. 0:01:59.070 --> 0:02:01.160 That seems like a decent argument toward her being crazy. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.600 That seems like a decent argument to me, like she 0:02:03.620 --> 0:02:05.160 was faking a suicide attempt. 0:02:05.500 --> 0:02:06.140 Oh, really? 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:06.700 Interesting. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.540 God dang it. You're committed to faking your suicide to 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:13.820 jump out a second story window. 0:02:14.410 --> 0:02:14.460 Ah. 0:02:15.460 --> 0:02:17.320 Put a couple of light cuts on me and then 0:02:17.380 --> 0:02:19.980 jump out this window into the hedges and it'll be fine. 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:20.559 I don't know. 0:02:21.139 --> 0:02:21.680 I wasn't there. 0:02:22.740 --> 0:02:25.200 Let's hear a little bit from yesterday before they gave 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.040 it to the jury from the defense and the prosecution 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.420 in their closing arguments. Here's the defense first. 0:02:30.900 --> 0:02:34.960 Because of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:35.680 that she got. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.980 Horrible thoughts, no motivation, deeply depressed. 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.200 This is a prosecution that has ripped the soul out 0:02:43.260 --> 0:02:43.840 of this girl forever. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.239 Well, here's the prosecution. 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.190 This wasn't a woman suffering from a lack of care, 0:02:50.260 --> 0:02:53.690 a lack of resources. She had an abundance of help, 0:02:54.130 --> 0:02:58.630 an abundance of care. She left them discarded on the 0:02:58.669 --> 0:03:03.930 basement floor like broken toys because she was done playing 0:03:03.970 --> 0:03:04.329 the game. 0:03:04.930 --> 0:03:08.090 Yeah, the kids. I heard that whole clip. It is 0:03:08.270 --> 0:03:11.230 hard to take. The prosecution argued that Clancy only had 0:03:11.370 --> 0:03:13.470 two prescription meds in her system at the time of 0:03:13.490 --> 0:03:15.810 the murders. Is that to argue that she wasn't all 0:03:15.870 --> 0:03:19.240 drugged up, so she's responsible? I don't know what that was. 0:03:19.260 --> 0:03:21.940 There is some argument that because she had a lot 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.820 of doctors and a lot of different medicines, so you 0:03:23.860 --> 0:03:25.739 can't claim she didn't get care. I can tell you 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.060 from dealing with people with mental health problems, just because 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.310 you got a doctor and got the pills don't mean 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.590 you're okay, because they often don't have it figured out. 0:03:36.460 --> 0:03:40.940 Yeah, and it's interesting. The prosecutor making the argument that 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.580 because she had an abundance of help, therefore clearly she 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.380 killed them. I'm not sure I get... Of course, I 0:03:49.420 --> 0:03:52.440 didn't hear the whole argument. I'm a bad talk show host, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:57.160 but I hesitate to leap to conclusions based on fragmentary information. 0:04:01.620 --> 0:04:04.690 If your argument was she wasn't really overwhelmed in the 0:04:04.750 --> 0:04:08.290 conventional sense... A person could respond, well, she must have 0:04:08.310 --> 0:04:09.370 just gone nuts then. 0:04:10.070 --> 0:04:10.330 Right. 0:04:13.250 --> 0:04:17.110 First of all, the jury gets to work tomorrow. Not 0:04:17.170 --> 0:04:19.570 in all states is that true. But in this case, 0:04:20.670 --> 0:04:23.270 they will deliberate on Saturday or they can deliberate on Saturday. 0:04:23.290 --> 0:04:25.530 So that might happen. So they might not be feeling 0:04:25.570 --> 0:04:27.670 the normal pressure on a Friday to wrap this thing 0:04:27.730 --> 0:04:32.110 up that juries have sometimes. That's all just speculation. Since 0:04:32.130 --> 0:04:35.860 you have been on juries, it seems to me. looking 0:04:35.890 --> 0:04:40.860 at this, that this could, there'd be a lot more 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.860 speculation on this one in a jury than a lot 0:04:44.900 --> 0:04:46.780 of cases, wouldn't there? I mean, because in some cases, 0:04:46.820 --> 0:04:49.500 it's just a, it's, you know, there's some clear-cut evidence, 0:04:49.540 --> 0:04:52.000 and if you throw in a, yeah, but his sister 0:04:52.020 --> 0:04:54.170 was so upset, well, what's that got to do with anything? 0:04:54.430 --> 0:04:55.970 You got a knife, you got a blah, blah, blah, 0:04:55.990 --> 0:04:58.610 you got a blah, blah, blah. This one, though, it's 0:04:58.810 --> 0:05:00.809 so getting in at somebody's head. 0:05:01.490 --> 0:05:04.380 Right. You practically read my mind because I was thinking 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.240 in a lot of criminal cases, the question is, was 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.040 it him and did they prove it beyond a reasonable 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.539 doubt that, okay, yeah, that was his knife. And yes, 0:05:12.620 --> 0:05:15.910 look at his car there on the flock camera, which 0:05:15.930 --> 0:05:20.150 we're yelling about, or whatever. Yeah, it's beyond a reasonable doubt. 0:05:20.190 --> 0:05:22.030 But in this one, when you're trying to figure out 0:05:22.130 --> 0:05:28.100 criminal culpability and mental health and contemplating a crime this horrible, 0:05:28.540 --> 0:05:31.860 I mean, there are You know, there are hard facts, 0:05:32.060 --> 0:05:35.520 and then there are judgments you have to make. And 0:05:35.700 --> 0:05:41.500 this one is judgment piled on judgment. And you've got 0:05:41.500 --> 0:05:45.410 12 people of varying intellects and abilities to understand or 0:05:46.170 --> 0:05:49.969 think logically or bringing in whatever prejudices they have or whatever. 0:05:50.089 --> 0:05:55.830 Trying to form something that mushy into a conclusion is 0:05:55.870 --> 0:06:00.099 not going to be easy. It's going to be extremely difficult. Although, again... 0:06:00.470 --> 0:06:05.700 I wasn't there for the whole thing. And it could 0:06:05.740 --> 0:06:09.040 be they have a much more solid take on this 0:06:09.140 --> 0:06:10.880 than I would guess from a distance. 0:06:11.140 --> 0:06:13.680 Well, it hasn't gone the direction of the most famous 0:06:15.060 --> 0:06:17.750 trial that people are comparing it to is Susan Smith 0:06:17.810 --> 0:06:20.630 back in the 90s when she strapped her kids in 0:06:20.650 --> 0:06:23.190 the car and rolled them in the lake, which was 0:06:23.230 --> 0:06:25.810 just absolutely horrific and really got America's attention. Of course, 0:06:25.850 --> 0:06:28.370 we were a different culture back then. We weren't as 0:06:28.390 --> 0:06:31.200 touchy feely. Let's come up with a way to explain 0:06:31.220 --> 0:06:34.580 away how difficult it is to be a parent. That 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:35.120 sort of thing. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.659 And we're all super into whatever mental challenges we have, 0:06:38.700 --> 0:06:41.550 mental illness. Mental health was a term that wasn't thrown 0:06:41.570 --> 0:06:42.070 around a lot. 0:06:42.370 --> 0:06:45.089 That jury deliberated for like an hour and 10 minutes 0:06:45.130 --> 0:06:47.729 and said, yeah, whatever. And she's still in prison as 0:06:47.770 --> 0:06:51.710 a murderer. This jury obviously didn't do that because they 0:06:51.810 --> 0:06:53.950 deliberated for a while yesterday and they're still at it today. 0:06:55.070 --> 0:06:57.719 Completely different case with different evidence. And I don't remember 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:02.820 Susan Smith's defense. They were they were trying to argue 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.860 that she was crazy. It wasn't the too tough to 0:07:04.900 --> 0:07:09.610 be a mom postpartum psychosis, but it was the she 0:07:09.690 --> 0:07:11.490 is not. She wasn't. 0:07:13.890 --> 0:07:16.690 Capable of those. Those are two very different things, by 0:07:16.710 --> 0:07:18.050 the way. It's too tough to be a mom and 0:07:18.090 --> 0:07:24.830 postpartum psychosis. But sure. Yeah, I don't remember. Anyway. All right. Well, 0:07:24.910 --> 0:07:26.790 we'll let the jury decide. That's the system we have, 0:07:26.810 --> 0:07:27.370 and it's a good one. 0:07:30.630 --> 0:07:32.410 Told you I'd tell you about cloud seeding, which is 0:07:32.450 --> 0:07:34.330 more prevalent than I thought. But first, I want to 0:07:34.370 --> 0:07:37.380 tell you about this. I love this. If you think 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.240 financial planning is just for the suit and tie crowd, 0:07:40.820 --> 0:07:41.540 you should think again. 0:07:41.940 --> 0:07:45.580 Blue collar dollar is for you. We're talking to small 0:07:45.620 --> 0:07:49.480 business owners, farmers, hardworking people. Who built this country, but 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.430 often get ignored by Wall Street. They look down on 0:07:52.530 --> 0:07:53.570 us and we hate them for that. 0:07:53.790 --> 0:07:56.130 I was knee deep in mud out on the farm 0:07:56.150 --> 0:07:59.050 yesterday trying to fix a broken PVC pipe in the 0:07:59.050 --> 0:08:01.370 100 degree weather. So I know what that kind of 0:08:01.410 --> 0:08:04.550 work is like or can be.

I... 0:08:58.070 --> 0:09:00.219 First of all, I get great enjoyment out of doing 0:09:00.260 --> 0:09:03.500 that sort of stuff, and I so much prefer that 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.079 task to... a stack of paperwork where I got to 0:09:07.100 --> 0:09:09.119 go to a website and log in and try to 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:10.920 figure out how to make a payment and it won't 0:09:10.940 --> 0:09:13.540 let me in. And I know people who love that. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.120 I know several people, a couple of them I've hired 0:09:16.179 --> 0:09:20.160 as assistants recently to do because they just love that challenge. 0:09:20.460 --> 0:09:23.520 To me, it is hell on earth where other people 0:09:23.570 --> 0:09:24.970 wouldn't want to be out in the hot sun knee 0:09:24.990 --> 0:09:26.670 deep in the water fixing a PVC pipe. So I 0:09:26.690 --> 0:09:27.689 guess it's just the way you built. 0:09:29.150 --> 0:09:29.390 Sure. 0:09:29.970 --> 0:09:30.970 Yeah. 0:09:30.990 --> 0:09:34.110 Oh, they all love that stack of paperwork. I just 0:09:34.210 --> 0:09:36.329 love to tear into that and get that done. I 0:09:37.050 --> 0:09:40.199 can't imagine that any more than I can imagine. I 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:40.520 don't know. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.959 I look at people like that, like they're a tribe 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.440 in Africa with plates in their lips. I just don't 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:45.739 get it. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:51.350 Right. Thank God you exist. Joe apparently knows more about 0:09:51.390 --> 0:09:54.390 this than I do, because I... I don't know anything 0:09:54.429 --> 0:09:56.260 about it, really. I've heard of cloud seeding. I knew 0:09:56.300 --> 0:09:58.670 it was an idea back in the day. I didn't 0:09:58.690 --> 0:10:01.520 know it was happening that much. It's really working, according 0:10:01.570 --> 0:10:03.850 to the free press, and a lot of tech people 0:10:03.890 --> 0:10:06.209 are controlling the weather. Do you remember when Bill Gates 0:10:06.429 --> 0:10:09.370 got a lot of attention for saying something or other 0:10:09.429 --> 0:10:11.870 about controlling the weather and how important it ought to be? 0:10:12.910 --> 0:10:15.530 And I know people who think Bill Gates is controlling 0:10:15.550 --> 0:10:22.480 the weather today. The founder of Rainmaker... big company that's 0:10:22.500 --> 0:10:24.720 doing a lot of this out there right now and 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.309 has been for quite a while. Uh, The guy that 0:10:28.510 --> 0:10:31.770 founded it was a Thiel fellow, Peter Thiel, who is 0:10:31.850 --> 0:10:34.600 controversial in the world that follows that sort of stuff. 0:10:34.620 --> 0:10:36.760 He's a PayPal guy, kind of wacky in all kinds 0:10:36.780 --> 0:10:39.240 of different directions. So that adds to the point of 0:10:39.260 --> 0:10:41.480 the free press is this has got all the makings 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.699 of great conspiracy stuff. You got a Peter Thiel guy. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.610 You got cloud seeding. You got the strongest El Nino 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.970 in living memory seems to be developing right now and 0:10:53.010 --> 0:10:54.850 is going to be in the news for weeks now. 0:10:55.910 --> 0:10:58.950 And you got everything you need for a great conspiracy thing. 0:10:59.309 --> 0:11:03.230 And then your point that there's no getting around this, 0:11:03.330 --> 0:11:07.520 is there? If you seed the clouds, the clouds rained 0:11:08.179 --> 0:11:10.680 where they weren't going to rain. And so they don't 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.839 have the rain in them to rain over there. 0:11:12.900 --> 0:11:15.319 There's just no getting around that math, is there? Yeah, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.160 even a child can understand this. But I didn't till 0:11:18.250 --> 0:11:21.970 somebody pointed it out, especially in places that are desperate 0:11:22.030 --> 0:11:26.730 for rain. Well, let's start here. Wars are fought over 0:11:26.809 --> 0:11:29.330 resources all the time, all the time since the dawn 0:11:29.370 --> 0:11:33.170 of man. Various, you know, the wars are quasi wars 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.280 or economic wars. Water is one of the most precious 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.560 resources on the planet, depending on where you are. And 0:11:39.580 --> 0:11:43.000 in parts of Africa, for instance, where the rain cloud 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.760 forms over here, it floats over this country, then rains 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.640 on that country. That country can feed its people. The 0:11:50.660 --> 0:11:53.520 first country that the clouds floated over, they can't. 0:11:53.540 --> 0:11:54.250 Okay. 0:11:54.260 --> 0:11:57.179 Okay. So country A decides, yeah, let's see the clouds 0:11:57.220 --> 0:11:59.760 and take the rain. And they take the rain. Now, 0:11:59.940 --> 0:12:02.220 it used to be you got to wait till rain 0:12:02.260 --> 0:12:04.570 falls before you can be snatching water. But now we 0:12:04.590 --> 0:12:06.949 can do it from the sky. So it's just it's, 0:12:07.490 --> 0:12:10.690 you know, depending on your point of view, either resource theft. 0:12:11.690 --> 0:12:14.130 Wait a minute. You're draining the river before it gets 0:12:14.190 --> 0:12:16.890 to me. Or it's just, you know, hey, tough luck. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.040 Isn't it just like tapping into your oil field on 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.800 the other side of the boundary? I drink your milkshake. 0:12:24.610 --> 0:12:25.510 It's that, isn't it? 0:12:25.990 --> 0:12:28.349 Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And people tend to 0:12:28.370 --> 0:12:28.890 get pissed. 0:12:30.230 --> 0:12:33.650 Wow, that'll become an issue. There's going to have to 0:12:33.670 --> 0:12:35.790 be some sort of laws. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.720 Yeah, I don't know enough about weather patterns to know 0:12:39.740 --> 0:12:42.220 whether this is going to apply to the U.S. at all. 0:12:42.980 --> 0:12:45.280 And again, this is a big news story right now. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:50.360 It's floating below most radars. But the whole Colorado River story. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.370 And the way the Western United States gets its water, 0:12:53.410 --> 0:12:57.209 including Southern California, Arizona, etc., it's going to be an 0:12:57.290 --> 0:13:00.670 enormous story in the next few years. Unless we have 0:13:00.830 --> 0:13:04.520 torrential rains fall in the Western United States for like 0:13:04.540 --> 0:13:07.280 the next decade. And then this stuff is going to 0:13:07.340 --> 0:13:10.180 get real, as the kids used to say a while back. 0:13:11.900 --> 0:13:14.470 Got some updates on a couple of the political races 0:13:14.570 --> 0:13:16.949 out there that are not good news if you're a 0:13:16.990 --> 0:13:19.330 Republican and wanting to hold on to the House or 0:13:19.350 --> 0:13:19.670 the Senate. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.500 And one of the best spankings of the media I've 0:13:22.540 --> 0:13:24.950 come across in a long time. I can't wait. I'm 0:13:24.970 --> 0:13:26.950 going to get warmed up and just give it to 0:13:26.970 --> 0:13:27.470 them good. 0:13:27.710 --> 0:13:28.510 Awesome. All on the way. 0:13:30.250 --> 0:13:43.650 Armstrong and Getty. 0:13:43.690 --> 0:13:45.350 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:50.850 --> 0:13:52.829 Where'd you get this from, Michael? Where'd this come from? 0:13:52.850 --> 0:13:54.530 It's one of. 0:13:54.530 --> 0:13:56.290 Our prep sites. I thought it was pretty cool. 0:13:57.130 --> 0:14:02.430 Yeah, so Jerry Seinfeld explaining how getting fired helped his career. 0:14:02.590 --> 0:14:04.960 I am always talking to my kids about various things 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.600 with failure and moving forward and lessons. I'm kind of 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:08.580 interested in this. Go ahead. 0:14:09.300 --> 0:14:12.939 Yes, there was one huge failure at the beginning. I 0:14:12.980 --> 0:14:16.720 was cast to be a comic relief character on Benson 0:14:17.100 --> 0:14:20.050 in 1980 for when I had just moved out to L.A. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.840 at the age of 26. And I did three episodes 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.540 and I showed up for the fourth And I sat 0:14:26.590 --> 0:14:28.450 down at the table and I go, how come there's 0:14:28.490 --> 0:14:29.290 no script for me? 0:14:29.330 --> 0:14:31.410 And they go, you've been fired. Why are you here? 0:14:32.470 --> 0:14:34.770 And the agent didn't call me to tell me I 0:14:34.950 --> 0:14:38.550 was fired. I was already a very dedicated stand-up comedian, 0:14:38.590 --> 0:14:42.460 but that locked the safe. I went, okay, from now on, 0:14:42.860 --> 0:14:47.200 nobody else's material. Because I'm doing their crappy material and dying. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.620 So that was a failure that was a great propeller 0:14:50.780 --> 0:14:51.120 for me. 0:14:52.580 --> 0:14:53.800 You and I can relate to that. 0:14:54.580 --> 0:14:55.760 Yeah, yeah. 0:14:56.100 --> 0:14:58.780 Was it Jerry who gave us that great piece of 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.120 wisdom about fail on your terms, don't fail on somebody 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.460 else's terms? Probably was. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.780 Sounds like it from Matt. Because we had that experience 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.330 a couple places in radio with bosses telling us exactly 0:15:10.530 --> 0:15:13.310 what kind of show to be and what sort of 0:15:13.370 --> 0:15:17.270 things to say. And it was mediocre at best. And 0:15:17.310 --> 0:15:22.620 then finally, at some point, we decided, man, the last 0:15:22.670 --> 0:15:24.720 thing you want to do if you get into any 0:15:24.820 --> 0:15:29.150 sort of entertainment business is get driven out of it. 0:15:29.300 --> 0:15:30.840 And then wonder, I wonder what would have happened if 0:15:30.900 --> 0:15:32.360 I had tried to do it the way I think 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:32.900 it ought to happen. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.080 I wonder if I played my songs, if that would 0:15:36.100 --> 0:15:38.340 have gone better. Oh no, that'll haunt you till your 0:15:38.380 --> 0:15:40.480 dying day. If you do it your way and fail, 0:15:40.500 --> 0:15:42.640 you think, yeah, it's funny. I thought that'd work, but 0:15:42.660 --> 0:15:46.000 you tried. You didn't get controlled by somebody else and 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.520 then be swept away, having never given it a real attempt. 0:15:49.700 --> 0:15:52.260 Man, and our bosses, Katie, when we came over to 0:15:52.340 --> 0:15:54.890 start doing talk radio, because we did music before, our 0:15:54.950 --> 0:15:58.410 bosses hated the way we did our show. I mean, 0:15:59.010 --> 0:16:02.290 hated it. Part of it was we were being followed 0:16:02.330 --> 0:16:05.550 by Dr. Laura, who had pretty good ratings. And the 0:16:05.590 --> 0:16:09.630 market manager said, Dr. Laura's audience is here. You're here. 0:16:11.510 --> 0:16:15.170 And that's the problem. And that's when he took away 0:16:15.230 --> 0:16:17.770 our office and we had moved our office to where 0:16:17.810 --> 0:16:19.720 the vending machines were. We had to sit in the 0:16:19.750 --> 0:16:22.900 room with the vending machines for our office with folding chairs. 0:16:23.700 --> 0:16:24.600 You guys showed them. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:25.800 Oh, my God. 0:16:26.210 --> 0:16:28.030 I don't think it was air-conditioned either, was it? It 0:16:28.070 --> 0:16:29.710 was always hot, probably from the vending machines. 0:16:29.730 --> 0:16:30.950 Well, we couldn't fit in there, so we had to 0:16:31.010 --> 0:16:32.630 open the door to the outside to be able to 0:16:32.690 --> 0:16:35.750 fit in this tiny little room where the vending machines were. And, 0:16:35.770 --> 0:16:38.690 you know, you're trying to work, and constantly people are 0:16:38.730 --> 0:16:40.500 coming to get a candy bar and saying, hey, what 0:16:40.530 --> 0:16:42.020 are you doing? This is our office now. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.680 What's going on? Or because we had to open up 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.000 the door to outside people, it's like an office park, 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.180 and people would, like, wander by and look at us. Hey. Hey, 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:51.600 how are you? 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.359 Anyway, the ultimate point being we had decided to try 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:55.740 to do what we thought was the best way to 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:56.980 do it, and thank God it's worked out. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.900 And it's gone from mediocre at best to consistently mediocre. Exactly. 0:17:01.090 --> 0:17:03.450 There you go. Lesson learned. Fantastic. 0:17:04.670 --> 0:17:08.429 There's some bad news out there if Republicans want to 0:17:08.450 --> 0:17:10.470 hang on to the Senate. I figure the House is 0:17:10.609 --> 0:17:14.520 a done deal, gone. But maybe even the Senate. New 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.500 polling out of Texas. It shows... That Tallarico guy in 0:17:17.540 --> 0:17:20.950 the lead? Or at least it's toss-up, according to most 0:17:21.030 --> 0:17:25.510 of your really well-respected polling outfits now. 0:17:26.390 --> 0:17:29.169 Yeah, boy, polls are tougher and tougher to take seriously. 0:17:29.210 --> 0:17:33.100 But you're better off taking it seriously than saying, nah, 0:17:33.170 --> 0:17:34.040 it'll be fine. 0:17:34.060 --> 0:17:36.220 I'm losing. I can take it as seriously as I want. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.100 I have no effect on Texas politics. But they haven't 0:17:38.140 --> 0:17:40.470 elected a statewide Democrat since the 90s. 0:17:41.060 --> 0:17:45.709 Right, right. Plus a fascinating book that's just coming out 0:17:45.750 --> 0:17:47.770 that I can't wait to read, written by one of 0:17:47.810 --> 0:17:50.030 the bravest people I've ever heard of in my life. 0:17:50.109 --> 0:17:54.149 When ISIS moved into Mosul and a lot of people fled, 0:17:54.170 --> 0:17:57.229 he stayed to document what would happen. 0:17:57.390 --> 0:17:57.930 Whoa. 0:17:58.590 --> 0:17:59.030 Yeah. 0:17:59.270 --> 0:18:00.650 That sounds fascinating. 0:18:01.210 --> 0:18:05.330 Oh, golly gee, it is. Plus a well-deserved spanking for 0:18:05.350 --> 0:18:09.300 the media from one of my favorite writers. All sorts 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:09.600 of good stuff. 0:18:09.619 --> 0:18:11.700 That's a lot of good stuff. I'll stay tuned. Yes, 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:16.400 consistently mediocre. We'll bring it to you. That's what we do, information. 0:18:16.700 --> 0:18:18.820 If you missed the segment, get the podcast, Armstrong and 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.310 Getty On Demand. You can listen to whatever you want. 0:18:21.330 --> 0:18:24.129 If you subscribe, they'll get fed to you whenever you want. 0:18:24.170 --> 0:18:26.190 We do 20 hours of this every single week, man. 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.460 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:49.700 --> 0:18:55.959 So, I heard the story all day long yesterday about 0:18:56.330 --> 0:19:00.790 Trump wanting to change Lake Ontario to America. But I 0:19:00.869 --> 0:19:04.850 hadn't seen the actual presentation of it till just now 0:19:05.590 --> 0:19:08.230 on video when he's standing there. He's sitting there in 0:19:08.250 --> 0:19:11.210 the Oval Office. The President of the United States is 0:19:11.530 --> 0:19:13.770 sitting at his desk in the Oval Office with some 0:19:13.810 --> 0:19:19.210 of his biggest advisors around him, a big map, you know, 0:19:19.510 --> 0:19:22.340 where they changed the name from Lake Ontario to Lake America, 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.040 and then this guy explaining what is happening. 0:19:25.740 --> 0:19:29.320 We're going to be Changing the name of Lake Ontario, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.210 effective immediately to Lake America. That's going to take place 0:19:35.830 --> 0:19:38.330 right now as I sign the order. Do you have 0:19:38.369 --> 0:19:40.010 anything to say about it, Ben? 0:19:40.050 --> 0:19:40.530 Yes, sir. 0:19:40.650 --> 0:19:44.010 So this is a straightforward but important executive order. It 0:19:44.230 --> 0:19:47.630 directs Secretary Burgum and the Department of the Interior to 0:19:47.810 --> 0:19:52.380 update the geographic names Information Service to reflect that Lake 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.640 once known as Lake Ontario will From this day forward, 0:19:55.660 --> 0:19:57.040 be known as Lake America. 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.000 And he's, I don't know that guy, but he's standing 0:19:59.020 --> 0:20:04.150 there next to Stephen Miller, who's got a very, you know, expressionless, 0:20:04.250 --> 0:20:08.210 serious face. All of these people acting like this isn't crazy. 0:20:09.550 --> 0:20:11.910 All of these people standing there acting like it's not 0:20:12.020 --> 0:20:16.159 insane that this is happening. I don't even know what 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:17.419 to do with this information. 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:19.580 Shouldn't it be Lake New York? 0:20:20.900 --> 0:20:22.350 Okay, we're going to quibble over if we're going to 0:20:22.369 --> 0:20:27.629 change the name. All driven by the fact that the 0:20:27.770 --> 0:20:31.090 Ford dude up in Canada said kiss my ass. So 0:20:31.109 --> 0:20:34.370 that's where that's coming from. I mean, and everybody acting 0:20:34.430 --> 0:20:39.520 like this is just ridiculous. That this is what's going on. 0:20:39.580 --> 0:20:43.180 I just, oh my God, the absurdity of it all. 0:20:43.619 --> 0:20:47.150 Yeah, no kidding. Hey, Michael, go ahead and play 83. 0:20:47.150 --> 0:20:49.530
