WEBVTT - Non-Runnage

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.970
<v Speaker 1>Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at

0:00:07.990 --> 0:00:12.450
<v Speaker 1>the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:12.650 --> 0:00:14.470
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty. And now.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.820
<v Speaker 2>Live from Studio C.

0:00:27.060 --> 0:00:28.540
<v Speaker 1>Si, senor.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>A dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.940
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty communications compound. I had trouble getting in

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.330
<v Speaker 2>the front door. There was a duck in front of

0:00:35.340 --> 0:00:39.650
<v Speaker 2>the door today. There's a duck there. And he looked

0:00:39.690 --> 0:00:40.430
<v Speaker 2>like he wanted in.

0:00:41.909 --> 0:00:43.070
<v Speaker 1>Go on. What's the punchline?

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.060
<v Speaker 2>He really looked like he wanted in, like he's waiting

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:47.979
<v Speaker 2>for somebody to let him in the building.

0:00:48.060 --> 0:00:49.540
<v Speaker 1>I need to use the bathroom. Could you let me?

0:00:49.580 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I've got an early appointment. I don't know why these

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>doors are locked. That's right.

0:00:53.100 --> 0:00:55.300
<v Speaker 2>I'm meeting with a guy about buying a house on

0:00:55.320 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>the second floor. Anyway, today we are toiling under the

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.100
<v Speaker 2>title of the show.

0:01:02.820 --> 0:01:07.850
<v Speaker 1>Sec War Pete launches attack on bloat. We'll talk about

0:01:07.890 --> 0:01:11.610
<v Speaker 1>the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth's big announcement. A series

0:01:11.650 --> 0:01:16.810
<v Speaker 1>of announcements. Or if you prefer this title, as we suspected, Jihadi.

0:01:19.190 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>For the guy who tried to crash the plane? Yes, indeed.

0:01:21.860 --> 0:01:23.220
<v Speaker 2>What do you know about that? I thought I'd heard

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the latest.

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't know. What do you know? I know all,

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:28.540
<v Speaker 1>see all.

0:01:29.300 --> 0:01:31.660
<v Speaker 2>Did you interrogate the guy? Because he's still alive.

0:01:32.260 --> 0:01:36.750
<v Speaker 1>I just got back from the interrogation, yes. No, there

0:01:36.770 --> 0:01:41.270
<v Speaker 1>are publications, well-known publications, that are willing to say things

0:01:41.310 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that other publications are not willing to say.

0:01:43.900 --> 0:01:47.260
<v Speaker 2>And apparently what Benjamin Netanyahu himself is not willing to say,

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>because I just saw him on Fox a little bit ago,

0:01:49.220 --> 0:01:51.250
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't have this. Are you going to tell us,

0:01:51.300 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>or is it a secret?

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.420
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you. Stay with us. Okay, if we

0:01:55.470 --> 0:01:58.710
<v Speaker 1>can't know now. The guy's co-workers say, oh, dude was

0:01:58.770 --> 0:02:01.390
<v Speaker 1>off the rails religiously. He wouldn't even shake a woman's hand.

0:02:01.980 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, wow.

0:02:02.460 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's informal sources, informal conclusions. It's reportorial digging as

0:02:09.900 --> 0:02:15.770
<v Speaker 1>opposed to official investigations. But self-grown, self-activated as opposed to

0:02:16.450 --> 0:02:19.350
<v Speaker 1>working for Hamas or something? That's the sort of thing

0:02:19.370 --> 0:02:21.570
<v Speaker 1>that's got to come out of a formal investigation, I think.

0:02:22.110 --> 0:02:24.730
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's sure. It could be a self-grown, though. That happens

0:02:24.770 --> 0:02:29.290
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Oh, sure. Yeah. It's because he reads his

0:02:29.370 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>holy book and says, yeah, okay, let's kill the evildoers. Great.

0:02:33.100 --> 0:02:38.780
<v Speaker 1>Let's conquest the entire world. Yes, he's not perverting his religion.

0:02:38.820 --> 0:02:41.150
<v Speaker 1>He's executing it as he sees it.

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.260
<v Speaker 2>They had to be like, what, a second and a

0:02:45.330 --> 0:02:48.350
<v Speaker 2>half away from crashing into the ground and dying? I mean,

0:02:48.750 --> 0:02:52.150
<v Speaker 2>the difference between that turning out the way it did

0:02:52.210 --> 0:02:58.109
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and them breaking in, well, the stabbed other pilot

0:02:58.250 --> 0:03:00.609
<v Speaker 2>opening the door so people could get in and take

0:03:00.650 --> 0:03:02.030
<v Speaker 2>a hold of the steering wheel.

0:03:02.470 --> 0:03:05.090
<v Speaker 1>But they had to be within seconds of that thing

0:03:05.130 --> 0:03:06.330
<v Speaker 1>being over. They were going.

0:03:06.150 --> 0:03:10.100
<v Speaker 2>700 miles an hour. You've never been on a plane

0:03:10.139 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>going 700 miles an hour, I guarantee you. I haven't,

0:03:12.700 --> 0:03:14.260
<v Speaker 2>and I was flying with the Blue Angels. I think

0:03:14.300 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>we went 650. That is screaming 700 miles an hour.

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.859
<v Speaker 1>And huge detail worth knowing, that airliner is not made

0:03:21.900 --> 0:03:24.220
<v Speaker 1>to go 700 plus miles per hour. That's over 100

0:03:24.220 --> 0:03:28.210
<v Speaker 1>miles per hour over its top rated airspeed, its recommended speed.

0:03:28.780 --> 0:03:32.370
<v Speaker 1>And so was it the rudder? The rudder was starting

0:03:32.410 --> 0:03:35.290
<v Speaker 1>to break apart at that speed. And if they had

0:03:35.350 --> 0:03:37.590
<v Speaker 1>sustained that speed a little bit longer, it would have

0:03:37.610 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>made the plane unflyable, meaning good night. Even if you

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>did get it upright. Oh, yeah. The best pilot in

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the world could have gotten hold of that plane and

0:03:47.900 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>realized there's nothing they could do anymore.

0:03:49.540 --> 0:03:52.020
<v Speaker 2>I haven't done the math, but 700 miles an hour

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.420
<v Speaker 2>and you're, what were they at their lowest? 15,000 feet,

0:03:55.500 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 2>something like that.

0:03:56.340 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Something like that, yeah. You wouldn't have long. No. Pointed down.

0:04:00.940 --> 0:04:01.700
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap.

0:04:01.940 --> 0:04:04.140
<v Speaker 2>You do that experiment a hundred times, you get that

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>good result. Yesterday, once, I think. That is a freak

0:04:09.540 --> 0:04:10.860
<v Speaker 2>good news story right there.

0:04:11.950 --> 0:04:15.270
<v Speaker 1>Uh, yeah, absolutely. So they had a couple of pilots

0:04:15.290 --> 0:04:16.790
<v Speaker 1>who were on board just because they were going to

0:04:16.830 --> 0:04:18.810
<v Speaker 1>be flying the next flight. They needed to relieve the

0:04:18.850 --> 0:04:21.930
<v Speaker 1>current guys. So they were ready to go with all

0:04:21.950 --> 0:04:24.250
<v Speaker 1>their training and know how and knew exactly what to do.

0:04:24.370 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>That was the man is the amazing plumber that got

0:04:26.540 --> 0:04:30.980
<v Speaker 2>in there, strangled the jihadi and then grabbed the stick

0:04:31.020 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>and pulled it back. Just like he'd seen on television.

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what I would do too. Only because I've seen

0:04:34.980 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>it on television. Right.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:36.419
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:36.810 --> 0:04:38.530
<v Speaker 1>He's got to put that on the side of his vans.

0:04:38.589 --> 0:04:41.169
<v Speaker 1>The amazing plumber in a picture of an airplane. He

0:04:41.230 --> 0:04:41.810
<v Speaker 1>did please.

0:04:42.010 --> 0:04:42.330
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah.

0:04:42.350 --> 0:04:44.750
<v Speaker 2>Him with a plunger. And I'm the guy that saved

0:04:44.790 --> 0:04:45.169
<v Speaker 2>the plane.

0:04:46.420 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:04:46.690 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I'd like him to unclog my toilet. You know, if

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.450
<v Speaker 2>somebody is going to come over and do it.

0:04:50.500 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:04:50.700 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Why not the hero?

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Um, I was also amazed that the fact that

0:04:55.820 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>almost everybody got on a different flight and flew back to, uh,

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>where they were headed to Tel Aviv. Like it was just,

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.790
<v Speaker 2>you know, diverted by weather or something. I don't know

0:05:06.850 --> 0:05:08.490
<v Speaker 2>that I would have been able to get right back

0:05:08.550 --> 0:05:10.510
<v Speaker 2>on a flight again, but I suppose you'd think, well,

0:05:11.430 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of shaken up over this near-death experience, but

0:05:16.700 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I still have to go to school tomorrow or work

0:05:18.260 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow or get to my kids or whatever. I don't

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.490
<v Speaker 2>know how well you know the geography of the region,

0:05:22.529 --> 0:05:24.530
<v Speaker 2>but there's no highway from there to there.

0:05:25.130 --> 0:05:27.550
<v Speaker 1>So I suppose a boat would be possible.

0:05:27.570 --> 0:05:30.300
<v Speaker 2>But right back on, just like, you know, did they

0:05:30.310 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>transfer my luggage?

0:05:31.300 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, cool.

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Then I'll get on that flight and go back.

0:05:33.620 --> 0:05:35.900
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they got grilled for about seven hours just as

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.150
<v Speaker 1>they were, the authorities were trying to get all the facts.

0:05:38.170 --> 0:05:40.930
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think I would because I would think,

0:05:41.620 --> 0:05:43.860
<v Speaker 1>The two guys in the cockpit in this next flight

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.539
<v Speaker 1>are going to be the best vetted pilots in the

0:05:46.620 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>history of aviation. It might be Benjamin Netanyahu himself. And

0:05:51.620 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who the second guy with the ghost

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of Ben Green. I don't know. So, yeah, yeah, I

0:05:56.779 --> 0:05:59.260
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be that worried about it. I would probably want

0:05:59.310 --> 0:06:05.070
<v Speaker 1>a cocktail. You got to bring us up to speed

0:06:05.390 --> 0:06:09.700
<v Speaker 1>on that. Tennessee execution. Cause you brought us the story yesterday,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>which is, which is fascinating on so many dang levels.

0:06:14.670 --> 0:06:16.610
<v Speaker 1>First time they're going to execute a woman in Tennessee

0:06:16.650 --> 0:06:17.850
<v Speaker 1>in what? 200 years or 200 years. Yeah. And, uh,

0:06:17.830 --> 0:06:22.770
<v Speaker 1>18 at the time of the crime, terribly sexually abused

0:06:22.810 --> 0:06:23.570
<v Speaker 1>her whole life.

0:06:23.830 --> 0:06:26.210
<v Speaker 2>Well, and three of them all did exactly the same crime.

0:06:26.830 --> 0:06:29.830
<v Speaker 2>One of them's free because he turned or she turned

0:06:29.950 --> 0:06:32.070
<v Speaker 2>on him. The other guy, what was his deal?

0:06:32.130 --> 0:06:35.820
<v Speaker 1>He was 17, so he was sentenced to life with

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>parole and is now eligible for parole. And she was

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>sentenced to die. Well, the execution, it went poorly, depending

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.190
<v Speaker 1>on your point of view last night, in that she's

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>still alive in spite of two doses left. Of the

0:06:49.660 --> 0:06:50.460
<v Speaker 1>nasty drug.

0:06:51.420 --> 0:06:54.470
<v Speaker 2>Well, they didn't give her enough. I'm no doctor.

0:06:54.990 --> 0:07:01.470
<v Speaker 1>Or her vein blew out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, and

0:07:01.930 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the analysis you're not going to hear from the weak, weak, incurious, biased,

0:07:09.890 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>dopey media is this is the result of the anti-death

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>penalty people making all the easy ways, the effective ways

0:07:17.780 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to undoable for various reasons right because their goal is

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.290
<v Speaker 1>to yes and and so we're down to you know

0:07:26.410 --> 0:07:32.450
<v Speaker 1>this might work type stuff 38 caliber bullet fence friends

0:07:32.910 --> 0:07:34.750
<v Speaker 1>that works every damn time.

0:07:34.510 --> 0:07:37.110
<v Speaker 2>Why don't we hang people that's the most effective thing

0:07:37.130 --> 0:07:39.810
<v Speaker 2>in like world history i'm not next to a 45

0:07:39.810 --> 0:07:44.230
<v Speaker 2>upside the head Which would you choose? I'm not for

0:07:44.290 --> 0:07:46.970
<v Speaker 2>torturing somebody to death. If you are going to have

0:07:47.010 --> 0:07:49.730
<v Speaker 2>them die, they ought to die more or less instantaneously.

0:07:51.950 --> 0:07:54.270
<v Speaker 2>So which would you choose? Oh, I'd rather be shot

0:07:54.290 --> 0:07:54.790
<v Speaker 2>than hanged.

0:07:54.890 --> 0:08:01.310
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. It's not even close. Shot where? Okay. All right.

0:08:01.350 --> 0:08:03.470
<v Speaker 1>This is gratuitous. I don't think it's gratuitous. And I'm

0:08:03.490 --> 0:08:04.650
<v Speaker 1>not giving you a gratuity.

0:08:04.670 --> 0:08:10.250
<v Speaker 2>It's a mandatory 20% gratuity. Like when they.

0:08:12.590 --> 0:08:14.650
<v Speaker 2>Shoot people by firing squad, they shoot them in the chest.

0:08:15.130 --> 0:08:15.730
<v Speaker 1>Right in the heart.

0:08:15.790 --> 0:08:17.070
<v Speaker 2>I've always said, can I ask to be shot in

0:08:17.090 --> 0:08:18.690
<v Speaker 2>the head? I don't know why, but I feel like

0:08:18.710 --> 0:08:20.390
<v Speaker 2>being shot in the head would be, I'd rather be

0:08:20.430 --> 0:08:24.050
<v Speaker 2>shot in the head. Blow my brains out, like, instantly.

0:08:24.910 --> 0:08:28.970
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I don't, wow, this is too macabre. I

0:08:28.990 --> 0:08:30.830
<v Speaker 1>will not engage in it. If I was sitting there

0:08:30.860 --> 0:08:32.270
<v Speaker 1>in a chair. But I see your point, I will

0:08:32.290 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>say that.

0:08:33.150 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I would be less worried a guy's going to walk

0:08:35.340 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 2>up behind you and put a bullet in your brain. Then,

0:08:38.580 --> 0:08:40.719
<v Speaker 2>then sitting there, I don't know if they put a

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.230
<v Speaker 2>hood over you or not, but you're facing the guys

0:08:42.250 --> 0:08:43.670
<v Speaker 2>and they shoot you in the chest with a heart

0:08:43.790 --> 0:08:45.590
<v Speaker 2>on your, your little target.

0:08:46.030 --> 0:08:46.589
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that.

0:08:49.110 --> 0:08:49.350
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:49.650 --> 0:08:51.050
<v Speaker 1>I prefer not to die. Of course, with the way

0:08:51.110 --> 0:08:54.069
<v Speaker 1>I hate needles. Right. I don't, I don't want to

0:08:54.090 --> 0:08:56.430
<v Speaker 1>get the, the juice they give you either. I got

0:08:56.450 --> 0:08:57.150
<v Speaker 1>to get an IV.

0:08:57.470 --> 0:08:57.730
<v Speaker 2>Really?

0:08:57.790 --> 0:09:00.490
<v Speaker 1>After all this, one more time in my life, I

0:09:00.530 --> 0:09:02.650
<v Speaker 1>have to get in, go through the, my needle phobia.

0:09:03.460 --> 0:09:06.980
<v Speaker 1>That aside, I would definitely prefer the sleepy time method. Um,

0:09:07.570 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>But it worked so well last night. They tried twice,

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.340
<v Speaker 1>ended up sending an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 2>That is that that may have ended capital punishment in America.

0:09:19.940 --> 0:09:22.969
<v Speaker 2>And that's what the goal was. All of the factors combined.

0:09:22.990 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Yeah.

0:09:24.570 --> 0:09:28.830
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it's pretty troubling, a horrifying crime. I think

0:09:28.870 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>we left that out in this telling. horrifying crime.

0:09:32.260 --> 0:09:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah. That they committed monsters.

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that one of them is going to

0:09:36.179 --> 0:09:38.420
<v Speaker 2>get put to death, one of them's out and one

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 2>of them is going to get out soon. Three completely

0:09:41.300 --> 0:09:45.050
<v Speaker 2>different results with the same crime, similar levels.

0:09:44.790 --> 0:09:47.950
<v Speaker 1>Of complicity in case you're wondering about that. Yeah.

0:09:48.230 --> 0:09:48.310
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:09:48.370 --> 0:09:51.150
<v Speaker 1>And then you torture murder of an innocent young woman.

0:09:51.410 --> 0:09:54.730
<v Speaker 2>And then you botch the execution. You had one job,

0:09:54.809 --> 0:09:56.910
<v Speaker 2>make sure they're dead at the end of the little process.

0:09:57.330 --> 0:09:59.929
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've got to admit, I, I heard in the, uh,

0:10:00.100 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>sent an ambulance that took her to the hospital where

0:10:02.140 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 1>they administered how about a pillow over the face administer

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.230
<v Speaker 1>that because her lawyers will say freaking anything are now

0:10:09.290 --> 0:10:12.050
<v Speaker 1>saying she may have sustained brain injury now and also

0:10:12.530 --> 0:10:15.630
<v Speaker 1>pillow over the face and let's all right you claim

0:10:15.730 --> 0:10:18.490
<v Speaker 1>brain injury would which would be fairly hard to prove

0:10:18.530 --> 0:10:20.870
<v Speaker 1>the other direction at least for a while right and

0:10:20.910 --> 0:10:22.490
<v Speaker 1>you can't execute somebody who's.

0:10:22.570 --> 0:10:27.090
<v Speaker 2>Uh incapacitated i guess we don't do that wow which

0:10:27.150 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 2>is weird i'm not exactly sure why i.

0:10:30.530 --> 0:10:33.140
<v Speaker 1>Know you know.

0:10:33.260 --> 0:10:37.979
<v Speaker 2>The anti-forces want to stop it um whereas in california

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.579
<v Speaker 2>we get the best result where we have the death

0:10:39.620 --> 0:10:42.260
<v Speaker 2>penalty pay for the death penalty which costs taxpayers millions

0:10:42.300 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>upon millions upon millions of dollars and then never execute

0:10:45.100 --> 0:10:48.790
<v Speaker 2>anybody so never fantastic Let's start the show officially. We've

0:10:48.820 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 2>got a brand new month going, everybody.

0:10:50.300 --> 0:10:52.780
<v Speaker 1>Rent's due. I'm Jack Armstrong. The rent is too damn high.

0:10:53.380 --> 0:10:57.110
<v Speaker 2>It's Thursday, October 1st, the year 2026.

0:10:57.110 --> 0:10:59.410
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong, you get in. We approve of this program. Let's

0:10:59.429 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>begin then, officially according to FCC rules and regulations. Here

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>comes the show, starting at Mark.

0:11:04.140 --> 0:11:06.060
<v Speaker 5>And who is the fattest of them all? It is

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.060
<v Speaker 5>bear number 89, better known as Backpack. He won the

0:11:09.100 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 5>most votes in the 2026 Katmai National Park Fat Bear Competition,

0:11:14.420 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 5>known as a gentle bear who uses quiet strength to

0:11:17.220 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 5>find preferred hunting and snacking spots. He is nonetheless more

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.500
<v Speaker 5>than 1,000 pounds and now plans to celebrate by sleeping

0:11:24.780 --> 0:11:25.380
<v Speaker 5>until May.

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.140
<v Speaker 1>What was that little bio there?

0:11:27.860 --> 0:11:30.059
<v Speaker 2>He's an excellent dancer and a fan of Proust.

0:11:30.540 --> 0:11:33.450
<v Speaker 1>What? Where do I sign up to sleep till May?

0:11:33.570 --> 0:11:35.850
<v Speaker 2>That's what I want to know. So is it the

0:11:36.050 --> 0:11:38.190
<v Speaker 2>fattest bear that you vote for? I thought it was

0:11:38.230 --> 0:11:38.930
<v Speaker 2>like cutest.

0:11:39.730 --> 0:11:43.050
<v Speaker 1>Well, it is. First of all, it's a reaffirmation to

0:11:43.090 --> 0:11:47.540
<v Speaker 1>America's commitment to democracy, Jack. It's a vote. And evidently

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>people combine affection with giant size to elect the so-called

0:11:55.500 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 1>fattest bear. I would argue perhaps a better title would

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>be The Greatest Fat Bear. I was voting.

0:12:03.660 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I didn't actually vote, but I was rooting for Bear

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.100
<v Speaker 2>Donka Donk, which was in the lead early in the week.

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.100
<v Speaker 2>That's very good.

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Looking fat bear.

0:12:12.540 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 2>By the way, on the rent is too damn high,

0:12:14.420 --> 0:12:20.610
<v Speaker 2>it is. Polling out showing there's really only one issue

0:12:20.690 --> 0:12:24.420
<v Speaker 2>driving all elections for quite some time now. How expensive

0:12:24.460 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 2>everything is. And, you know, you can dance around all

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.359
<v Speaker 2>these other things as much as you want. But if

0:12:30.420 --> 0:12:32.900
<v Speaker 2>people go, oh, my God, when they fill up their

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.850
<v Speaker 2>car and check out the grocery store and get the

0:12:35.260 --> 0:12:36.430
<v Speaker 2>bill at the restaurant, that's.

0:12:36.290 --> 0:12:38.750
<v Speaker 1>All there is to it. And I would argue that

0:12:38.809 --> 0:12:41.450
<v Speaker 1>is such a powerful force that they would consider putting

0:12:41.630 --> 0:12:44.230
<v Speaker 1>back into office the very people who brought us the

0:12:44.270 --> 0:12:48.890
<v Speaker 1>most severe inflation of the last generation, which shows high

0:12:48.929 --> 0:12:50.910
<v Speaker 1>prices make people go crazy.

0:12:50.929 --> 0:12:53.290
<v Speaker 2>The only price that's come down, I just learned this.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.420
<v Speaker 2>for different reasons, is eggs, because the reason eggs got

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.370
<v Speaker 2>so extraordinarily high, they're still high compared to 2019, but

0:13:01.429 --> 0:13:05.150
<v Speaker 2>extraordinarily high was the avian flu. We killed 50 plus

0:13:05.330 --> 0:13:08.330
<v Speaker 2>million laying hens in this country during the avian flu

0:13:08.370 --> 0:13:09.489
<v Speaker 2>in 23, 24.

0:13:09.490 --> 0:13:13.980
<v Speaker 1>Wow. So we got the hens back and eggs come down,

0:13:14.020 --> 0:13:15.580
<v Speaker 1>but that's just. Excellent.

0:13:16.059 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>That's not, that's not, that's a side. That's a, that's

0:13:18.940 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 2>like the exception that proves the rule of inflation.

0:13:23.190 --> 0:13:25.890
<v Speaker 1>The idiocy that proves my rule of monarchy now is

0:13:25.929 --> 0:13:28.630
<v Speaker 1>the idea that inflation is high. Let's put Joe Biden's

0:13:28.670 --> 0:13:31.810
<v Speaker 1>party back in power. I'm no kidding. It's ludicrous. Yeah,

0:13:32.110 --> 0:13:34.910
<v Speaker 1>it sure is. Katie Green's got all the headlines, and

0:13:34.929 --> 0:13:47.910
<v Speaker 1>we'll really get into it. Stay tuned. Armstrong and.

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.780
<v Speaker 2>I got some interesting stuff today that's not political or geopolitical.

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.809
<v Speaker 2>Just interesting, I think. So look forward to talking about

0:14:02.830 --> 0:14:03.069
<v Speaker 2>it later.

0:14:03.590 --> 0:14:05.870
<v Speaker 1>We're shooting for that. Who's reporting what? It's the late

0:14:05.890 --> 0:14:07.330

0:14:07.610 --> 0:14:07.870

<v Speaker 1>All right. Maybe Iran is it's currently constituted leadership wise.

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:39.900
<v Speaker 1>He might be right.

0:14:39.940 --> 0:14:42.300
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but maybe he's going to attack him. Maybe he's not.

0:14:43.060 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that part is. Please. I didn't even hear it.

<v Speaker 1>He likes those TV shows about people. What the heck? Yeah.

0:15:01.860 --> 0:15:03.380
<v Speaker 3>He watched those shows and that was how he was

0:15:03.460 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 3>able to figure out how to re-level the plane.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.220
<v Speaker 2>That's what he told Netanyahu yesterday.

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.790

<v Speaker 1>Pete said that I thought were very, very interesting. I

0:15:37.710 --> 0:15:40.090
<v Speaker 1>remember when he was nominated, we were talking about what

0:15:40.130 --> 0:15:42.590
<v Speaker 1>we thought of it, and I thought, I'm really intrigued.

0:15:42.630 --> 0:15:46.830
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. I'm still really intrigued. He's definitely there

0:15:46.870 --> 0:15:49.370
<v Speaker 1>to make an impact. Oh, he's making an impact.

0:15:49.730 --> 0:15:52.790
<v Speaker 2>I just don't have the slightest sense whether, like, firing 20%

0:15:52.790 --> 0:15:55.190
<v Speaker 2>of the generals and admirals is an obviously great idea,

0:15:55.230 --> 0:15:55.870
<v Speaker 2>which it might be.

0:15:55.890 --> 0:15:58.310
<v Speaker 1>We will discuss. I will bring the facts. Or a

0:15:58.330 --> 0:16:00.810
<v Speaker 1>terrible idea. I have no idea. We will run that

<v Speaker 1>up the flagpole and see who salutes, if you will.

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>See what I did, Katie? I think you did. It did.

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:07.420
<v Speaker 2>It did.

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:08.640

<v Speaker 2>And you didn't give her enough.

0:16:16.570 --> 0:16:19.510
<v Speaker 1>Give her a third one. You know, and I didn't

0:16:19.550 --> 0:16:22.330
<v Speaker 1>even think she should be executed. Honestly, I was very

0:16:22.370 --> 0:16:28.340
<v Speaker 1>troubled by it. I was going soft on crying. Yeah, clearly. Yeah. Boy,

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.800

0:16:57.370 --> 0:17:00.490
<v Speaker 2>you have health problems, insurance pays for it. If you're

0:17:00.510 --> 0:17:02.730

0:17:25.369 --> 0:17:26.530
<v Speaker 2>if you remember that story.

0:17:26.630 --> 0:17:29.139
<v Speaker 1>Huge. It was terrible. A lot of that stuff we mentioned,

0:17:29.180 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>we will get to, so stay tuned. Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:32.260 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:41.270 --> 0:17:43.730
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it was a hijacking. I think it

0:17:43.820 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 4>looks like a suicide attempt simply because of what this

0:17:48.220 --> 0:17:51.500
<v Speaker 4>hero Yaniv has described. When he went in, this guy

0:17:51.540 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 4>was trying to jam the equipment between the two flight seats,

0:17:56.540 --> 0:17:58.750
<v Speaker 4>the pilot seats. He wasn't sitting in the pilot seat

0:17:58.790 --> 0:18:01.550
<v Speaker 4>trying to stabilize the plane. He was trying to jam

0:18:01.570 --> 0:18:04.930
<v Speaker 4>the equipment. So that's pretty good evidence, I'd say.

0:18:06.290 --> 0:18:09.700
<v Speaker 2>So even Benjamin Netanyahu's not jumping to the this was a...

0:18:10.580 --> 0:18:16.220
<v Speaker 2>9-11 style attack that they wanted to pull off. But man,

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the networks last night is watching the ABC and CBS

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.950
<v Speaker 2>evening news. They didn't even cover the possibility that this

0:18:24.030 --> 0:18:29.130
<v Speaker 2>might be extremist Islam. I know, you know, we didn't

0:18:29.170 --> 0:18:31.929
<v Speaker 2>even hint toward it. ran from it as if it

0:18:31.990 --> 0:18:34.669
<v Speaker 2>was just not even on the board. Just a pilot

0:18:34.710 --> 0:18:37.810
<v Speaker 2>attacked another pilot, like it was, you know, a Nebraskan

0:18:37.910 --> 0:18:39.909
<v Speaker 2>stabbing a guy from South Dakota.

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the guy could have been an animal rights activist

0:18:43.140 --> 0:18:47.300
<v Speaker 1>or a, I don't know, government housing reform advocate. We

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.300
<v Speaker 1>just don't know. I tell you what, progressivism is a

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 1>mental disorder. Anyway, there is not a great deal known

0:18:54.940 --> 0:18:59.710
<v Speaker 1>about this guy who tried to hijack the plane, the

0:19:00.380 --> 0:19:02.340
<v Speaker 1>kill everybody aboard, including himself.

0:19:02.500 --> 0:19:05.340
<v Speaker 2>Not a great deal that we know from the press.

0:19:05.460 --> 0:19:07.740
<v Speaker 2>I have a feeling the Mossad is getting some information

0:19:07.780 --> 0:19:09.980
<v Speaker 2>out of this dude in the ways that the Mossad does.

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.900
<v Speaker 1>It's certainly possible, yes. But the Minister of Defense for

0:19:13.980 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Israel seems fairly confident. He called him, quote, a jihadist terrorist.

0:19:20.660 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>He was an Omani national who worked for the airline

0:19:22.740 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>for less than a year. A fellow pilot told Israel's

0:19:26.550 --> 0:19:31.940
<v Speaker 1>Channel 16, quote, He was someone characterized by very strange behavior,

0:19:31.980 --> 0:19:35.780
<v Speaker 1>especially around religious observances that were out of step with

0:19:35.900 --> 0:19:39.770
<v Speaker 1>his surroundings. For instance, he used to pray a lot

0:19:39.810 --> 0:19:44.350
<v Speaker 1>and would not shake hands with women. He appeared to

0:19:44.410 --> 0:19:50.379
<v Speaker 1>be a devout fundamentalist type Muslim to his co-workers. Now,

0:19:50.660 --> 0:19:53.020
<v Speaker 1>does that prove he wanted to crash a plane in

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.340
<v Speaker 1>the ground and kill bunches of Jews and Arabs and Americans, too,

0:19:56.380 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 1>for that matter? No, it doesn't prove anything, but it's

0:19:59.460 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>certainly a brick in the wall.

0:20:01.980 --> 0:20:03.820
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure we'll know more.

0:20:04.740 --> 0:20:05.970
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

0:20:05.990 --> 0:20:07.630
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of that part of the world, and then we'll

0:20:07.670 --> 0:20:09.490
<v Speaker 2>move on because I want to hear this stuff about

0:20:09.550 --> 0:20:13.110
<v Speaker 2>the new weight loss drugs, among other things. I came

0:20:13.150 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 2>across this. I was listening to a podcast and they

0:20:14.890 --> 0:20:16.929
<v Speaker 2>brought this up and I thought, wow, I'd completely forgotten that.

0:20:16.970 --> 0:20:19.699
<v Speaker 2>I think I think America has forgotten this. And it's

0:20:19.740 --> 0:20:23.379
<v Speaker 2>worth knowing just in case you get into the conversation

0:20:23.420 --> 0:20:25.899
<v Speaker 2>about this sort of thing. So are we in another

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.660
<v Speaker 2>forever war in Iran? And did Trump promise he wouldn't

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.500
<v Speaker 2>get a Buddhist in the war now or blah, blah, blah.

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of that comes out of Iraq and

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:33.619
<v Speaker 2>Afghanistan talk.

0:20:33.700 --> 0:20:33.900
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 2>And we have gotten into military interventions so many times

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.070
<v Speaker 2>in the last quarter century where the president just decides

0:20:43.109 --> 0:20:46.210
<v Speaker 2>and then we do it that we've forgotten that that

0:20:46.270 --> 0:20:49.130
<v Speaker 2>is not how we got into Iraq at all. When

0:20:49.150 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>we launched the war in Iraq, George Bush launched the

0:20:51.300 --> 0:20:56.210
<v Speaker 2>war in Iraq. 70% approval from the public. And he

0:20:56.250 --> 0:21:01.510
<v Speaker 2>got the authorization of Congress by a lot. The Senate

0:21:01.550 --> 0:21:08.010
<v Speaker 2>voted 77-23, including a third of the Senate being Democrats

0:21:08.070 --> 0:21:12.409
<v Speaker 2>that voted for it. And the House, 296-133, with 81

0:21:12.410 --> 0:21:18.650
<v Speaker 2>Democrats voting for it. It was an incredibly, overwhelmingly bipartisan, yes,

0:21:18.730 --> 0:21:20.590
<v Speaker 2>we should do this vote with 70% of America voting.

0:21:22.410 --> 0:21:25.970
<v Speaker 2>So I just hear people throw around in conversation and

0:21:25.990 --> 0:21:29.580
<v Speaker 2>cable news channels and all kinds of stuff about Bush,

0:21:29.980 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, launching the stupidest war in U.S. history and

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.340
<v Speaker 2>all these different sorts of things that last forever. We

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 2>had full authorization by a lot. It wasn't even a

0:21:38.140 --> 0:21:41.199
<v Speaker 2>close vote. Right. And I had forgotten that it was

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.690
<v Speaker 2>that overwhelmingly. Yes, we should do this at the time.

0:21:45.300 --> 0:21:49.270
<v Speaker 2>So this is why I drink. There are very few discussions,

0:21:49.650 --> 0:21:53.870
<v Speaker 2>political discussions in American life that can be satisfied by

0:21:53.930 --> 0:21:58.810
<v Speaker 2>a simple sentence or phrase, almost none. And yet that's

0:21:58.869 --> 0:22:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the only analysis most people get or give on, you know,

0:22:03.940 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 2>complicated stuff like the Iraq war. I mean, books have

0:22:06.580 --> 0:22:08.270
<v Speaker 2>been written and books should be written about it.

0:22:08.940 --> 0:22:11.940
<v Speaker 1>So, okay. Overwhelmingly popular was part of that based on

0:22:11.980 --> 0:22:15.350
<v Speaker 1>the misperception of The group think inside the Bush White

0:22:15.390 --> 0:22:20.250
<v Speaker 1>House that Saddam was actively developing weapons of mass destruction? Yeah, absolutely.

0:22:20.350 --> 0:22:23.950
<v Speaker 1>And that was misleading. But where did that misleading come from?

0:22:24.030 --> 0:22:28.150
<v Speaker 1>That deserves another couple of sentences. How Saddam wanted everybody

0:22:28.470 --> 0:22:33.710
<v Speaker 1>to believe he had WMDs to deter his enemies in

0:22:33.750 --> 0:22:37.510
<v Speaker 1>the region. So it gets a little complicated. Right.

0:22:37.609 --> 0:22:41.350
<v Speaker 2>But my main point is Barack going into Syria, yes

0:22:41.410 --> 0:22:45.030
<v Speaker 2>or no, was completely his call. Obviously, Trump attacking Iran

0:22:45.070 --> 0:22:47.470
<v Speaker 2>and starting that were completely his call. Those are different

0:22:47.490 --> 0:22:50.609
<v Speaker 2>things than putting it to Congress, making your argument, and

0:22:50.650 --> 0:22:52.750
<v Speaker 2>getting overwhelming bipartisan support.

0:22:53.290 --> 0:22:53.470
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:22:53.850 --> 0:22:54.010
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:22:54.550 --> 0:22:57.430
<v Speaker 1>So the headline yesterday, I guess, was that our last

0:22:57.450 --> 0:23:01.159
<v Speaker 1>guys had left Iraq. They were reinstalled. Remember, we left Iraq,

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:04.220
<v Speaker 1>then went back in, was it 2013? Yeah. to deal

0:23:04.260 --> 0:23:11.650
<v Speaker 1>with ISIS and successfully dispatched ISIS during Trump's first term.

0:23:11.710 --> 0:23:15.129
<v Speaker 1>Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. And

0:23:15.190 --> 0:23:17.810
<v Speaker 1>they were hanging around as advisors and helpers for the

0:23:17.830 --> 0:23:22.170
<v Speaker 1>Iraqis because the situation in Iraq is, again, super interesting.

0:23:23.590 --> 0:23:27.510
<v Speaker 1>They've actually done very well for the region as a

0:23:28.170 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>multi-ethnic organization. torn apart by religious fundamentalism uh people but

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>you have these uh shia militias all over the place

0:23:38.780 --> 0:23:43.260
<v Speaker 1>thousands of men strong heavily armed some of them who've

0:23:43.300 --> 0:23:47.550
<v Speaker 1>become political parties in addition to being armed militias so

0:23:47.890 --> 0:23:50.570
<v Speaker 1>oh it's still a cauldron of god knows what.

0:23:52.710 --> 0:23:54.330
<v Speaker 2>I heard something really interesting i was out in the

0:23:54.350 --> 0:23:59.669
<v Speaker 2>newsroom a little bit ago getting coffee It brought up

0:23:59.950 --> 0:24:04.050
<v Speaker 2>another interesting thing. News director out there for the other

0:24:04.090 --> 0:24:06.689
<v Speaker 2>radio station said, I think it was her aunt, her

0:24:06.790 --> 0:24:09.470
<v Speaker 2>aunt when she died at ripe old age of whatever,

0:24:09.470 --> 0:24:14.780
<v Speaker 2>70 something. Just talking about her life mentioned that she

0:24:14.820 --> 0:24:17.100
<v Speaker 2>had never run a single step in her life.

0:24:18.859 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 1>That's extraordinary.

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:21.900
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that really interesting?

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.060
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. Yeah. I wonder if at the very end

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:29.340
<v Speaker 1>she was thinking, please, no bears. You know, no pit bulls.

0:24:29.740 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, like you made it to 65 and you're thinking,

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:33.340
<v Speaker 2>I think I've almost made it.

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I know. I just. As long as a bear doesn't

0:24:35.980 --> 0:24:38.780
<v Speaker 1>get loose. Nothing weird happens. I can make it to

0:24:38.820 --> 0:24:39.180
<v Speaker 1>the end.

0:24:40.260 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 2>And it reminds me. Almost as amazing to me is

0:24:45.260 --> 0:24:48.920
<v Speaker 2>like one of my son's best friends. And he's a

0:24:49.010 --> 0:24:51.170
<v Speaker 2>really good athlete. I've watched him on the volleyball team.

0:24:51.210 --> 0:24:52.350
<v Speaker 2>Really good athlete. Cool guy.

0:24:53.330 --> 0:24:57.250
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't know how to ride a bike. Like what? Yeah.

0:24:57.390 --> 0:24:59.950
<v Speaker 1>How did that happen? Yeah.

0:25:00.130 --> 0:25:01.610
<v Speaker 2>And Sam told me, he said, I know several guys

0:25:01.630 --> 0:25:02.950
<v Speaker 2>that don't know how to ride a bike. Really?

0:25:03.109 --> 0:25:05.290
<v Speaker 1>So that's a thing now? I became aware of that

0:25:05.310 --> 0:25:08.320
<v Speaker 1>when my kids were teenagers. Because we would plan various

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>outings and stuff, and somebody would say, yeah, I don't

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 1>know how to ride a bike. And we're like, wait, wait.

0:25:12.660 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you're a Russian spy. Right.

0:25:16.020 --> 0:25:16.340
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:25:16.500 --> 0:25:18.830
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was just... And, you know, when I

0:25:18.869 --> 0:25:21.730
<v Speaker 2>think about it, why is it universally? Well, you know,

0:25:21.830 --> 0:25:23.030
<v Speaker 2>one thing you got to do is teach your kid

0:25:23.050 --> 0:25:25.949
<v Speaker 2>to ride a bike so they can ride a bike,

0:25:26.010 --> 0:25:26.530
<v Speaker 2>ride a bike.

0:25:26.590 --> 0:25:29.410
<v Speaker 1>But is it that places? Is it that necessary?

0:25:29.490 --> 0:25:31.730
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm glad I did. I'm glad my kids

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:32.540
<v Speaker 2>can ride bikes. Huh?

0:25:33.859 --> 0:25:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm with you. I certainly. Raised my kids with this.

0:25:40.980 --> 0:25:43.880
<v Speaker 1>The idea that that was absolutely non-negotiable. And in fact,

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:45.780
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't even occur to me to ask whether it

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:46.360
<v Speaker 1>was negotiable.

0:25:46.380 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 3>No, no.

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:50.660
<v Speaker 1>It was like teaching them to eat or read. Yes,

0:25:50.700 --> 0:25:53.020
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to teach them to read. Of course I am.

0:25:53.060 --> 0:25:55.300
<v Speaker 1>Or tie their shoes or something you absolutely need to

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:57.379
<v Speaker 1>be able to do in life. Yeah.

0:25:57.440 --> 0:25:59.830
<v Speaker 2>At what age do we get them a first bike?

0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:02.209
<v Speaker 2>We didn't have the conversation of, should we get them

0:26:02.250 --> 0:26:03.930
<v Speaker 2>a bike and teach them to ride a bike? I mean,

0:26:03.950 --> 0:26:07.230
<v Speaker 2>if my wife had said that, I thought, what? Of

0:26:07.250 --> 0:26:10.230
<v Speaker 2>course he's going to ride a bike. But then I wondered,

0:26:10.270 --> 0:26:13.949
<v Speaker 2>so this kid is athletic for one thing. Could he

0:26:14.050 --> 0:26:16.830
<v Speaker 2>do it now? Or is it like really, really hard

0:26:16.890 --> 0:26:19.610
<v Speaker 2>to pick up when you're 17?

0:26:19.609 --> 0:26:23.690
<v Speaker 1>Like language, brain plasticity, et cetera. I don't know. I

0:26:23.710 --> 0:26:26.449
<v Speaker 1>don't know either. I'd imagine he could. But would it

0:26:26.510 --> 0:26:29.300
<v Speaker 1>be half again harder? I have a car and a

0:26:29.340 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>driver's license and a girlfriend. No, you got to be

0:26:32.580 --> 0:26:36.420
<v Speaker 1>able to ride a bike. You just got to. Had

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.100
<v Speaker 1>never run a step on her deathbed. That is a

0:26:39.220 --> 0:26:44.050
<v Speaker 1>unique one. Speaking of, yeah, and difficult to pull off, too.

0:26:44.330 --> 0:26:46.570
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you'd think, ice cream truck, ice cream truck.

0:26:47.010 --> 0:26:49.610
<v Speaker 1>At some point, you'd think, I'm going to stride over

0:26:49.650 --> 0:26:51.550
<v Speaker 1>there in such a way that one of my feet

0:26:51.609 --> 0:26:53.690
<v Speaker 1>leaves the ground so I can be quicker.

0:26:53.710 --> 0:26:55.409
<v Speaker 2>Wait, the train leaves in three minutes?

0:26:55.630 --> 0:26:59.050
<v Speaker 1>You know, something. Right. Oh, shoot, I'm in the wrong terminal.

0:26:59.170 --> 0:27:04.150
<v Speaker 1>I've done that. Right. Hell, I ran quite a few

0:27:04.210 --> 0:27:07.859
<v Speaker 1>steps recently as a fat old guy with bad hips.

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:13.439
<v Speaker 1>So she really was dedicated to non-runnage. It's like the

0:27:13.540 --> 0:27:18.220
<v Speaker 1>Mother Teresa of walking. Wow, wow, wow. All right, speaking

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.239
<v Speaker 1>of non-sequiturs, I have in front of me the fascinating

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:25.149
<v Speaker 1>and useful information about the next round of weight loss drugs.

0:27:26.590 --> 0:27:29.709
<v Speaker 1>But the Wall Street Journal damned them with some really

0:27:29.810 --> 0:27:36.710
<v Speaker 1>good clickbait. This is an ad. The picture, the photograph

0:27:36.910 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 1>is some sort of electronic owl with glowing eyes. And

0:27:43.740 --> 0:27:48.679
<v Speaker 1>it's 29 coolest gifts nobody would think of. And I

0:27:48.700 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>got to confess, I wonder what the glowing-eyed owl is

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:55.580
<v Speaker 1>all about. And who might enjoy receiving it from me? Here,

0:27:55.619 --> 0:27:58.230
<v Speaker 1>I got you a glowing-eyed electronic owl.

0:27:58.240 --> 0:27:59.060
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was hoping.

0:27:59.700 --> 0:28:02.219
<v Speaker 1>It's a dot, dot, dot. I have no idea what

0:28:02.270 --> 0:28:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the dot, dot, dot is. I'm fascinated, and I may

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.959
<v Speaker 1>have to look into it. After this word from our

0:29:16.980 --> 0:29:21.080
<v Speaker 1>so putting aside the glowing-eyed owl, Somebody once said to me, Joe,

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:23.380
<v Speaker 1>never buy the first edition of a product. I don't

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.810
<v Speaker 1>know if that's good advice or not, but the GLP-1s

0:29:26.990 --> 0:29:31.010
<v Speaker 1>are doing amazing things and even more amazing than anybody thought.

0:29:31.130 --> 0:29:33.450
<v Speaker 1>Taking care of all sorts of medical problems, definitely a

0:29:33.490 --> 0:29:36.970
<v Speaker 1>leap forward. As long as they don't make you go blind. Right.

0:29:38.070 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Or I have a relative. who had severe like reflux

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:44.790
<v Speaker 1>from it.

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh, really?

0:29:45.820 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 1>And had to stop or had to change drugs. Anyway,

0:29:49.140 --> 0:29:52.430
<v Speaker 1>ask your local, ask your doctor. But one thing that

0:29:52.450 --> 0:29:55.730
<v Speaker 1>I've heard over and over again is people are losing

0:29:55.930 --> 0:30:00.060
<v Speaker 1>muscle tissue and If they don't like really affirmatively try

0:30:00.180 --> 0:30:00.620
<v Speaker 1>not to.

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.580
<v Speaker 2>God, and you got to take in so much protein,

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.660
<v Speaker 2>which I find very difficult to take in the amount

0:30:04.700 --> 0:30:05.980
<v Speaker 2>of protein they want you to take in.

0:30:05.980 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Because you're not real hungry. Well, right.

0:30:08.140 --> 0:30:09.460
<v Speaker 2>So you got to force yourself to eat all these

0:30:09.500 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 2>different things.

0:30:11.260 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, right. And especially as you age, that's a very

0:30:15.100 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>bad idea to be losing muscle mass because it's what

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:20.110
<v Speaker 1>keeps you safe from, you know, falls and mishaps and

0:30:20.130 --> 0:30:20.690
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing.

0:30:20.710 --> 0:30:22.850
<v Speaker 2>Well, and if you're doing it for vanity reasons like me,

0:30:22.870 --> 0:30:24.510
<v Speaker 2>you go to the gym every freaking day and you're

0:30:24.530 --> 0:30:25.430
<v Speaker 2>going to lose your muscle.

0:30:25.450 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>That ain't worth it. Right. Drug makers are testing a

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:32.980
<v Speaker 1>new generation of muscle-protecting and body fat-targeting drugs to fix that.

0:30:33.300 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 1>There's just a big medical conference in Milan this week. Mid-

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:41.850
<v Speaker 1>and late-stage studies from companies like the biggies, Novo, Eli Lilly, Regeneron,

0:30:42.150 --> 0:30:44.710
<v Speaker 1>indicated that several drug candidates might be able to better

0:30:44.770 --> 0:30:49.750
<v Speaker 1>preserve muscle and help shed problematic belly fat. They're feeling very,

0:30:49.790 --> 0:30:53.150
<v Speaker 1>very positive about this second generation, or whatever generation it is.

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:59.020
<v Speaker 1>of these drugs. The study of one of the new

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.930
<v Speaker 1>ones found that people taking the drug lost about two-thirds

0:31:01.970 --> 0:31:07.770
<v Speaker 1>to three-quarters less thigh muscle than those taking a semi-glutide alone.

0:31:07.930 --> 0:31:08.130
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:31:09.030 --> 0:31:11.810
<v Speaker 1>So, progress coming down the road. Boy, I sure know

0:31:11.830 --> 0:31:13.870
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that have done the GOP-1, and

0:31:13.910 --> 0:31:15.510
<v Speaker 1>it's the best thing that they've done.

0:31:15.370 --> 0:31:18.810
<v Speaker 2>In their lives, they feel like. They're so happy about it.

0:31:18.820 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 2>People that were quite overweight, and now they're not.

0:31:21.710 --> 0:31:24.340
<v Speaker 1>I've come close, but haven't made the jump yet. Haven't

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:27.040
<v Speaker 1>pulled the trigger. No, no, not yet.

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Think how great you would look, especially now that we're

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube.

0:31:29.820 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 1>We're on the TV. We've got the TV cameras in

0:31:31.500 --> 0:31:33.660
<v Speaker 1>front of us. I mean, just think about that. Checking

0:31:33.740 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>my pockets. Zero Fs to give. Sorry.

0:31:38.860 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you left them in your briefcase.

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:42.790
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they might be over there. Right, exactly, in my

0:31:42.850 --> 0:31:43.510
<v Speaker 1>key drawer.

0:31:44.190 --> 0:31:45.350
<v Speaker 2>Mailbag coming up next.

0:31:47.270 --> 0:31:48.310
<v Speaker 4>Armstrong and Getty.

0:31:54.230 --> 0:31:56.050
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:31:59.150 --> 0:32:03.670
<v Speaker 2>Over 3,000 hours of Nixon tapes coming out, and historian

0:32:03.710 --> 0:32:06.790
<v Speaker 2>Neil Ferguson going through them all, and it's pretty darn interesting.

0:32:07.410 --> 0:32:09.910
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll bet it is. It has to be. The

0:32:09.930 --> 0:32:12.700
<v Speaker 1>guy was parsed into the United States during a time

0:32:12.740 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of great change and impact. Blah, blah, blah. Here's your

0:32:16.100 --> 0:32:18.460
<v Speaker 1>freedom-loving quote of the day. Mike of San Ramon sent

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:20.780
<v Speaker 1>this along. It comes from Confucius.

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Hmm.

0:32:23.180 --> 0:32:28.230
<v Speaker 1>Chinese, but not a commie. In a country well governed,

0:32:28.390 --> 0:32:31.330
<v Speaker 1>poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country

0:32:31.430 --> 0:32:36.150
<v Speaker 1>badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of. Okay,

0:32:36.170 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the first part I got, the second part. What does

0:32:40.220 --> 0:32:44.500
<v Speaker 1>that mean? Well governed, you should be ashamed of what? No, no, no. Opposite.

0:32:44.620 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>In a country well governed, poverty is something to be

0:32:47.220 --> 0:32:50.970
<v Speaker 1>ashamed of. Because you have plenty of opportunity and stuff.

0:32:50.990 --> 0:32:54.450
<v Speaker 1>You should go out and get life. Take life. In

0:32:54.470 --> 0:32:57.610
<v Speaker 1>a country badly governed, full of corruption, rent-seeking.

0:32:57.750 --> 0:33:01.290
<v Speaker 2>That's a sign of a bad person, yes.

0:33:01.350 --> 0:33:04.190
<v Speaker 1>It's a sign of a badly governed country, yeah. Oh,

0:33:04.270 --> 0:33:06.590
<v Speaker 1>I see what you're saying, yeah. If you achieve wealth

0:33:06.630 --> 0:33:09.100
<v Speaker 1>in that, you're immediately under suspicion of having cheated because

0:33:09.340 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the government's involved in so many things. And then Mike says,

0:33:12.460 --> 0:33:14.820
<v Speaker 1>in terms of governance, where do you think the U.S. places?

0:33:14.860 --> 0:33:17.300
<v Speaker 1>Are we ashamed of poverty or wealth? Yeah, I think

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:19.510
<v Speaker 1>you know the answer to that question. which reminds me

0:33:19.530 --> 0:33:22.690
<v Speaker 1>of something great I read about how when you poll

0:33:22.730 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 1>youngsters about how they don't like capitalism, they cite three

0:33:27.820 --> 0:33:33.540
<v Speaker 1>areas in particular, housing, health care, and education. Those are

0:33:33.580 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the three areas in which capitalism, the free market, has

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:40.340
<v Speaker 1>been most supplanted by the government. And they call for

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:43.530
<v Speaker 1>more government to solve it. Oy vey, says I.

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:45.770
<v Speaker 2>On the subject of that Confucian thing, I saw an

0:33:45.850 --> 0:33:48.650
<v Speaker 2>ad for children going to bed hungry again.

0:33:49.610 --> 0:33:50.490
<v Speaker 1>Where is that happening?

0:33:52.150 --> 0:33:54.050
<v Speaker 2>And how are you not taking advantage of the 80

0:33:54.050 --> 0:33:55.630
<v Speaker 2>different programs that take care of that?

0:33:56.510 --> 0:33:59.780
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag. Drop us a note. Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. On that theme,

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:06.850
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was absolutely fabulous analysis. Initial I. This

0:34:06.870 --> 0:34:09.470
<v Speaker 1>is based on a couple of stories lately about people,

0:34:10.410 --> 0:34:14.130
<v Speaker 1>white women, claiming to be Palestinian or black or whatever.

0:34:14.969 --> 0:34:16.950
<v Speaker 1>And then there was a guy running for, I think

0:34:17.010 --> 0:34:19.290
<v Speaker 1>it was the Congress, who lied about his military service.

0:34:19.310 --> 0:34:24.150
<v Speaker 1>He's a Republican. And I, he says, sociopathic white leftoids

0:34:24.350 --> 0:34:29.440
<v Speaker 1>lie about being marginalized people of color. while sociopathic white

0:34:29.540 --> 0:34:33.739
<v Speaker 1>rightoids lie about heroic military service. It's almost as if

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:37.350
<v Speaker 1>valorization of losing in victimhood is a feature of leftism,

0:34:37.870 --> 0:34:41.230
<v Speaker 1>and valorization of winning in heroism is one of rightism.

0:34:41.810 --> 0:34:45.550
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty interesting. That is pretty revealing. Our sickos reveal

0:34:45.610 --> 0:34:51.890
<v Speaker 1>our values. Wow, thought-provoking. Less thought-provoking, this from Drew the Millennial.

0:34:52.150 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Jack is dry ice. He's the cooler. September 8th, 2025. J.J.

0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.259
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy made his NFL debut on Monday Night Football. He

0:35:00.300 --> 0:35:02.379
<v Speaker 1>was a complete ass for three quarters until he somehow

0:35:02.420 --> 0:35:04.980
<v Speaker 1>mounted a fourth-quarter comeback in victory against the Bears. The

0:35:05.020 --> 0:35:07.620
<v Speaker 1>next morning, I remember Jack saying something like, every NFL

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 1>team wishes they had that young man on their roster. Yeah,

0:35:10.100 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that was amazing. He is going to be a star.

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:14.180
<v Speaker 1>After that, he was the worst QB in the league

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:16.009
<v Speaker 1>until he was benched. His team was then forced to

0:35:16.050 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 1>acquire a new starting quarterback in free agency. Yesterday he

0:35:18.620 --> 0:35:20.540
<v Speaker 1>was traded to the New York Giants for a scratch-off

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>ticket and a bag of pennies. I don't remember that

0:35:24.140 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>name at all. And then, yeah, I know it doesn't matter,

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:29.819
<v Speaker 1>but I just like Drew's writing. Then he writes, well done, Jack.

0:35:29.860 --> 0:35:31.969
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fan of any NFL franchise, so I

0:35:32.010 --> 0:35:34.670
<v Speaker 1>only watch because I enjoy seeing fans have their dreams crushed.

0:35:34.969 --> 0:35:36.090
<v Speaker 1>Keep it up. Godspeed.

0:35:37.969 --> 0:35:40.690
<v Speaker 2>I only watch sports because I like to see fans

0:35:40.730 --> 0:35:44.110
<v Speaker 2>have their dreams crushed. Well, a lot of Cubs fans

0:35:44.610 --> 0:35:47.509
<v Speaker 2>and Red Sox fans got their dreams crushed last night.

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:53.779
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed. Yeah, brutal. So also coming up, because I'm

0:35:53.820 --> 0:35:55.560
<v Speaker 1>looking at the clock, there's no way we can squeeze

0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:59.940
<v Speaker 1>this in. A couple of super intriguing emails from folks

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:05.739
<v Speaker 1>on the topic of, okay, AI brings super productivity and

0:36:05.910 --> 0:36:09.629
<v Speaker 1>universal high income. What does that do to an economy?

0:36:11.070 --> 0:36:13.730
<v Speaker 1>This is a question, speaking of things that are dismissed

0:36:13.770 --> 0:36:17.470
<v Speaker 1>in one sentence when we really need several paragraphs. That's

0:36:17.510 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a discussion nobody's having. No. And not only is it important,

0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:26.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's like super interesting and fun. Why is nobody

0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:28.180
<v Speaker 1>talking about that? I don't get it. I don't get

0:36:28.219 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it either. We will. Also, one of my favorite things

0:36:31.020 --> 0:36:33.300
<v Speaker 1>of being a parent. Oh, this is my favorite.

0:36:33.420 --> 0:36:33.940
<v Speaker 2>Intriguing.

0:36:34.980 --> 0:36:38.150
<v Speaker 1>Trying to determine if your kid is actually sick or

0:36:38.190 --> 0:36:40.230
<v Speaker 1>not when they don't want to go to school because

0:36:40.250 --> 0:36:44.630
<v Speaker 1>they're sick. Hmm. That's one of the greatest. It's the

0:36:44.690 --> 0:36:46.570
<v Speaker 1>classic both things are true dilemma.

0:36:47.750 --> 0:36:52.070
<v Speaker 2>It's such an interesting push and pull. Anyway, more on

0:36:52.090 --> 0:36:53.810
<v Speaker 2>all those things coming up. If you missed a segment

0:36:53.830 --> 0:36:56.180
<v Speaker 2>of the podcast, Armstrong and Getty on demand.

0:36:56.200 --> 0:37:00.760
