Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Kaddy Armstrong and.
Speaker 2: Jaggie and he.
Speaker 3: Arm Draw.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have my very first sip of coffee since
Speaker 2: I walked into the radio station. Curious h That is glorious.
Speaker 2: That's the only drug I'm addicted to, caffeine, and I
Speaker 2: absolutely love it. Other than that, I'm like Elvis used
Speaker 2: to say, Oh I think I'm high on ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: People accuse me of being high on drugs. The only
Speaker 2: thing I'm high on is music, ladies and gentlemen. I'm
Speaker 2: that way. The only thing I'm accused I'm actually high
Speaker 2: on is talk radio and Kathy. Jack Armstrong loves coffee.
Speaker 2: That's true. Do we have that? Welcome to another live
Speaker 2: presentation of the Armstrong in Getty Program from the Armstrong
Speaker 2: in Getty Communications Compound. Joe will probably be calling in
Speaker 2: a little bit later. He is wrapping up his longest
Speaker 2: vacation of his life, as he calls it, celebration of
Speaker 2: his fortieth wedding anniversary with his wife Judy. So more
Speaker 2: on that a little bit later, And we've got a
Speaker 2: couple of guests lined up for you. Several different things
Speaker 2: to talk about that I'm looking forward to, But first
Speaker 2: this one. NASA is trying to put together a team,
Speaker 2: and I want to join this. They're getting all ready
Speaker 2: for the mission to Mars eventually, and they need people
Speaker 2: that are willing to go on a one way trip
Speaker 2: to Mars because there's no expectation of return if you go.
Speaker 2: So first they're going to do some sort of simulation
Speaker 2: where they see if people can handle being alone for
Speaker 2: that amount of time. And I am built for this,
Speaker 2: I was born for this. So here their requirements. If
Speaker 2: you want to be part of the space team that
Speaker 2: could go to Mars, you'll live for about a year
Speaker 2: and especially designed habitat that mimics the conditions of traveling
Speaker 2: to and living to Mars. Got to be a US
Speaker 2: citizen or permanent resident BINGO. Got to be between thirty
Speaker 2: and fifty five years old. I'm not, but I think
Speaker 2: I could pull all lie and I could pull it off. Um,
Speaker 2: you have to be in good physical and psychological health. Yes,
Speaker 2: and probably I don't know, don't ask all the textures
Speaker 2: on our text line, But other than that, I think
Speaker 2: but this one willingness to spend a year in isolation.
Speaker 2: Sign me freaking up today? Yes, how long is it
Speaker 2: going to take to Mars? Go to Mars a year?
Speaker 2: Can we take the long route? Can we make it
Speaker 2: to it last a little longer?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Just hang out here by myself, be left alone. I
Speaker 2: couldn't do that. Wouldn't do that because I have kids,
Speaker 2: and I would be horrifying. If I didn't have kids,
Speaker 2: I'd be all over that. Send me to flip in Mars. Man. Hi,
Speaker 2: I'm Katy Perry's got a stay right, and then I'd
Speaker 2: be an astronaut, just like Katy Perry. Here's the most
Speaker 2: interesting thing I've heard today. I was doing that for
Speaker 2: a while there as a feature every single morning when
Speaker 2: Joe was here. Here's the most interesting thing I've heard
Speaker 2: today that I did not know. Jeb Bush. Do you
Speaker 2: remember him? Governor Florida? Ran for president for a cup
Speaker 2: of coffee?
Speaker 3: Men?
Speaker 2: Did he run in the wrong era? Jeb Bush runs
Speaker 2: for president a decade earlier. He's probably president of the
Speaker 2: United States. He ran the same time Trump ran. When
Speaker 2: we're in a brand new, everything's changed era, and Jeb
Speaker 2: Bush was just looked like something from Black and white
Speaker 2: footage by that point. But anyway, Jeb Bush was a
Speaker 2: police clap police clap who seems like a really, really
Speaker 2: nice guy. He stood up and did a news presentation yesterday,
Speaker 2: gathered reporters said he had something to say, and his
Speaker 2: story was, there are three thousand, we believe Iranian drones
Speaker 2: in Cuba, which, if you don't know, is just eighty
Speaker 2: miles off the coast of the United States. I mean,
Speaker 2: Cuba is really really close by. At least three thousand
Speaker 2: Iranian made drones are in Cuba. Why why that coming
Speaker 2: out the same day as the Wall Street Journal with
Speaker 2: their big story about all the efforts Iranian, the Iranian
Speaker 2: government or I did they even have a government anymore?
Speaker 2: The leaders of Iran, their effort to kill Trump. There
Speaker 2: is a there's always been an attempt to kill Trump
Speaker 2: from Iran, but like they are really serious now and
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal lays out what all the plans were.
Speaker 2: That has fits in with the story that we had
Speaker 2: yesterday that Trump flew back from Turkey on a different
Speaker 2: plane at the suggestion of the Secret Service, and there
Speaker 2: are more leaks out of that suggesting that there was
Speaker 2: a solid reason for that. It wasn't just Ian, and
Speaker 2: I'd probably be better. The other planes not quite ready
Speaker 2: to go. Part of the Wall Street Journal reporting was
Speaker 2: that Israel had gotten onto some information that Iran had
Speaker 2: a specific plan and they didn't give any more details,
Speaker 2: but it must add something to do with the plane
Speaker 2: that he flew in on and its ability to stop
Speaker 2: rockets or drones or anything like that. And they switched
Speaker 2: Trump to a different plane. Remember yesterday the story Trump
Speaker 2: gets on that plane quickly, hurriedly. They don't you do
Speaker 2: the usual thing where the camera crews gathered to watch
Speaker 2: them go up the stairs, and then everybody got on
Speaker 2: a plane and had to pull the blinds, the little
Speaker 2: thing down over your window so no light shown out
Speaker 2: or I don't know what the reason was. And then
Speaker 2: they quickly got Trump out of there. Then the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal with this story that Israel tipped us off
Speaker 2: that there was some sort of specific plot to try
Speaker 2: to take out Trump, and I got more on that
Speaker 2: a little bit later. It's really interesting, and Trump's been
Speaker 2: kind of hitting at that all week long, so obviously
Speaker 2: they talked to him about it. So this this war
Speaker 2: with Iran is hot and getting hotter. Where it's going
Speaker 2: I absolutely do not know, but some more of the
Speaker 2: details around that on the way other story that I
Speaker 2: want to get into. I couldn't quite grasp why Fox
Speaker 2: was going with wall to wall coverage of this preliminary
Speaker 2: hearing around the guy that killed Charlie Kirk. I'm supposed
Speaker 2: to say, allegedly, is the anything going to happen to me?
Speaker 2: If I don't say allegedly, he clearly did it, this
Speaker 2: troubled young loser who murdered a young dad for no
Speaker 2: good not that there would be a good reason, but
Speaker 2: really for no good reason for whatever, immediately regret regretted it.
Speaker 2: We learned that yesterday in the hearing. Anyway, the reason
Speaker 2: Fox is going to wall to wall on this coverage
Speaker 2: is the number of y'all out there. I don't know
Speaker 2: how many of you there are. And this is like
Speaker 2: people on the right who don't believe that Tyler Robinson
Speaker 2: killed Charlie Kirk, believe it's some sort of conspiracy that
Speaker 2: they picked this poor what was the term they used
Speaker 2: for Lee Harvey Oswald Patsy, picked this poor Patsy out
Speaker 2: of out of nowhere and have pinned it on him
Speaker 2: because it was actually the Jews or the pedophiles or
Speaker 2: the Epstein class or something like that. I don't even
Speaker 2: understand the conspiracy. I have people I know personally who
Speaker 2: believe one hundred percent that this kid is just a
Speaker 2: patsy and the Jews are. It doesn't ever make sense
Speaker 2: what it is Epstein people or whatever actually killed Charlie
Speaker 2: Kirk and it's all a cover up. And Erica is
Speaker 2: involved in it. That's Charlie Kirk's wife, and she just
Speaker 2: wanted the money or was working for the Jews. I
Speaker 2: don't know. It's always a very confusing story. But anyway,
Speaker 2: Fox apparently thinks there's enough of you all that believe
Speaker 2: that that they need to go wall to wall on
Speaker 2: this coverage to try to make it clear. No, this
Speaker 2: confused young weirdo actually told his trans girlfriend boyfriend that
Speaker 2: he killed Charlie Kirk. And there's plenty of evidence all
Speaker 2: the way around. And Don Junior, Donald Trump Junior was
Speaker 2: in the courtroom yesterday. He even said, you know, I've
Speaker 2: heard all the conspiracy theories, and you know, it's turned
Speaker 2: out before that the Wuhan lab actually was so I
Speaker 2: keep my mind open to conspiracy theories. So he was
Speaker 2: at least pretending to play footsie with the conspiracy crowd
Speaker 2: that thinks that Robinson is not the actual killer. That
Speaker 2: whole thing is highly troubling, the conspiracy part of it,
Speaker 2: the actual part of it, for those of us who
Speaker 2: aren't nuts, in my opinion, is just horrific. We're gonna
Speaker 2: play some of the clips and some of the texts
Speaker 2: they read. Oh, by the way, you need to know this,
Speaker 2: what's going on right now? This isn't the trial. This
Speaker 2: is the Should they have a trial? Should they actually
Speaker 2: go forward with a murder charge? And what's he gonna plea?
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing this week, and it's getting this
Speaker 2: much coverage because of all the conspiracies around it. Anyway,
Speaker 2: his the murderer, the sad loser, murderer's former trans girlfriend
Speaker 2: boyfriend was on the stand yesterday now uses a boy's name,
Speaker 2: his original boy in his name, wearing a suit and tie,
Speaker 2: that whole I'm a girl thing apparently in the rearview mirror,
Speaker 2: and the testimony was just overwhelming, not that I had
Speaker 2: any doubts anyway, but overwhelming that this Tyler Robertson did
Speaker 2: that thing we've talked about so much, that is such
Speaker 2: a part of our modern world. Whenever there's a mass
Speaker 2: shooting or assassination attempt or whatever, it wasn't some big, complex, political,
Speaker 2: well thought out grievance. It was just a sad loser
Speaker 2: who needed to grasp on to something for their performative angst.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what this was. And we'll get into
Speaker 2: some of the details on that coming up. But what
Speaker 2: percentage of America of y'all? And go ahead text if
Speaker 2: you want to. I'll try to have an open mind,
Speaker 2: even though I don't believe you even this much. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no chance at all I'm going to grasp onto
Speaker 2: this conspiracy. What percentage of y'all think this is some
Speaker 2: sort of Ebstein Erica Kirk conspiracy as opposed to what
Speaker 2: it clearly was troubling a lot of the testimony, though,
Speaker 2: is I had no interest in this until I guess
Speaker 2: last night, when I started actually listening to what transpired
Speaker 2: in court yesterday, and I thought, you know, this is
Speaker 2: actually interesting. So going to bring that to you, and
Speaker 2: I think you'll find it interesting too. Let's start the
Speaker 2: show officially. We got other things we need to get to,
Speaker 2: but you got an assassination plot against the President. You
Speaker 2: got this trial. You got me signing up from Mars
Speaker 2: Mission plenty to talk about I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe
Speaker 2: Getty on this It is Friday, July tenth, the year
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. We are Armstrong and Getty in we
Speaker 2: approve this program. Let's begin at Mark. The restaurant chain
Speaker 2: Applebee's this week began offering a New Orleans themed Big
Speaker 2: Easy Burger, which features pepper jack cheese, spicy mustard, and
Speaker 2: dewey sausage. And this is nice. A jazz funeral that
Speaker 2: was a good twist on the old joke. I gotta
Speaker 2: tell you, as an amateur, kind of professional ish humorist,
Speaker 2: the jokes around really bad food for you, you know,
Speaker 2: does it come with the fibrillator? That sort of thing
Speaker 2: is kind of tired and played, but that was a
Speaker 2: good angle one right there. It comes with a jazz funeral.
Speaker 2: That was funny. Hey, when I was in Vegas, I
Speaker 2: was down on Fremont Street and that's where the heart
Speaker 2: attack grill is. We've talked about that before. The heart
Speaker 2: attack grill in Las Vegas where the waitresses dresses nurses
Speaker 2: and they serve you these like five thousand calorie steaks
Speaker 2: and burgers and milkshakes and all this sort of stuff
Speaker 2: that is terrible for you, which some people think is tacky.
Speaker 2: I think it's quite funny. But they dress his nurses
Speaker 2: and serve you this really really bad food, and they
Speaker 2: have in the marquee outside. If you weigh over I
Speaker 2: think it was three twenty. If you weigh on hundred
Speaker 2: over three hundred and twenty pounds, you get to eat free,
Speaker 2: so they welcome you in. If you're a really really
Speaker 2: jumbo I think it was three twenty, which makes you
Speaker 2: a pretty big guy. But let you eat for free.
Speaker 2: If you're three hundred and twenty pounds. They're at the
Speaker 2: heart attack place. Very good. What was the other thing
Speaker 2: I wanted to get to? Oh, I do want to
Speaker 2: talk about I can't wait for Norway England soccer. I
Speaker 2: am fully on board with the striking Viking Holland. He
Speaker 2: has become a worldwide sensation. What an interesting you talk
Speaker 2: about a guy with the IT factor? It is him.
Speaker 2: I have to talk about that more too. All on
Speaker 2: the way and we got headlines from Heather Myers, next.
Speaker 1: Armstrong Hetty.
Speaker 2: Kissing, a giant gathering for the funeral of the Ayatola
Speaker 2: there in Tehran, Iran, and it looked like hundreds and
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of people turned out who hate the
Speaker 2: United States and love the Iyahtola. So you know, I
Speaker 2: know there are a lot of young protesters gunned down,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people don't like their government there,
Speaker 2: but there's apparently a lot of people that still believe
Speaker 2: that crazy crap that they believe in Iran. Anyway, they
Speaker 2: unfurled a giant banner that was in English in all
Speaker 2: caps that said we will kill Trump. Holy crap, that
Speaker 2: is wild. Who made that banner? The government? Anyway, More
Speaker 2: on that later. Let's get some headlines now with Heather Myers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good morning and happy fry, and we're taking you
Speaker 1: right back to that region for our headlines this morning,
Speaker 1: starting with CNN. Israel shared intelligence with the US of
Speaker 1: Iranian plot to assassinate Trump. USA today says I'm number
Speaker 1: one on the kill list. Trump says Iran is targeting
Speaker 1: him and from News Nation, new air strikes target Iran
Speaker 1: after US announced and two air strikes.
Speaker 2: So, as Trump said the other day, the CeaseFire's over
Speaker 2: and the wars back on, but nobody's exactly sure. Where's
Speaker 2: it going from here? We didn't hit him last night,
Speaker 2: so two nights in eurrow we hit him really really
Speaker 2: hard and then nothing last night. No idea what the current.
Speaker 1: Plan is a lot of people are wondering what's happening
Speaker 1: with gas prices. CNN is reporting this. Trump promotes freedom
Speaker 1: fuel stations that sell cheap gas. How they're able to
Speaker 1: do so is unclear.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't understand where's their gas coming from.
Speaker 2: It's it's a global commodity. Okay, I'll have to look
Speaker 2: into that.
Speaker 1: From Spectrum Local News, US home prices hit an all
Speaker 1: time high as sales slow and mortgage rates rise.
Speaker 2: I was surprised by that there are more for sale signs,
Speaker 2: at least in my real estates so regional. It can
Speaker 2: change from neighborhood to neighborhood, let alone state to state,
Speaker 2: but there are more for sale signs by far around
Speaker 2: where I live than I've seen since pre pandemic. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: The headline reads that sales slow, and when I really
Speaker 1: looked at the data, sales did slow from May to June,
Speaker 1: but sales climbed from last June to this year.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a little bit of devils in the
Speaker 1: details there, all right. From KTLA. Man by Rattlesteak in
Speaker 1: California barely survives after fifty four anti venom doses.
Speaker 2: That's a caveman death right there. I'm glad he's okay.
Speaker 1: CNN and outbreak of diarrhea caused by that parasite. He's
Speaker 1: ad at least fourteen hundred people.
Speaker 2: Now, dang it. If it's not the taco bell, it's
Speaker 2: the swimming in the lake. It's always something that'll get you.
Speaker 1: From the Washington Examiner, Supreme Court, let's Texas enforce law
Speaker 1: that restricts app purchases by kids.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, I think every time my kids purchase an Apple,
Speaker 2: I know this. I get a thing on my phone
Speaker 2: where I have to approve it, one because I'm paying
Speaker 2: for it, and two whether or not I think it's
Speaker 2: okay for their phone. Is that not the way it
Speaker 2: works for everyone?
Speaker 1: Well, you have a setting on your phone for your kids,
Speaker 1: where a lot of people did not put that in play.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a mistake. You're handing your kids a phone
Speaker 2: and then letting them just do whatever the hell they
Speaker 2: want on it. That's a mistake, not wild Yeah.
Speaker 1: From Wired Meta. Now, let's anyone use your Instagram photos
Speaker 1: and AI images unless you opt out?
Speaker 2: Hmmm? Can they enforce this? Will they be able to
Speaker 2: stay on top of this? Interesting Yeah?
Speaker 1: Two Mark Bick headlines from ESPN and a letter lawmakers
Speaker 1: seek accountability from WNBA on Caitlin Clark. And finally this
Speaker 1: morning from the Babylon b Dad's plan to work at
Speaker 1: home foiled by people at home?
Speaker 2: Yes, very very true. And moms moms have had the
Speaker 2: same experience. You try to work at home, and it's
Speaker 2: very easy to get distracted. That's what drove some people
Speaker 2: back into the workplace. Is just at home? Dad? Can
Speaker 2: you I'm working. We'll get to some more of the news,
Speaker 2: get a little deeper dive on some of those stories
Speaker 2: and some other things you haven't heard about on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here, Armstrong and Getty. I forgot clips of the week,
Speaker 2: don't you mind? I did? Oh? I know you were
Speaker 2: looking for to that. Before we get to that, Conspiracy
Speaker 2: Theorists Executive producer Mike Hansen just hit me with a
Speaker 2: why the announcement yesterday that there are Iranian drones in
Speaker 2: Cuba came from Jeb Bush. It didn't come from Trump.
Speaker 2: It came from Jeb Bush, of all people. Hanson's theory
Speaker 2: is it's to justify going into Cuba, which is not
Speaker 2: a crazy theory actually, although there might also actually be
Speaker 2: Iranian drones in Cuba. More on that in a little bit.
Speaker 2: Here's another interesting story. You don't know if there if
Speaker 2: it was a different party, if it was the Republicans
Speaker 2: doing this, you would know all about this story. But
Speaker 2: it's the Democrats doing it, so you haven't heard it.
Speaker 2: Did you know there are two Dan Sullivan's running for
Speaker 2: the Senate in Alaska? Do you know this story? What
Speaker 2: what Platner get all the attention as a Senate race
Speaker 2: and not this one? It's kind of funny and obvious.
Speaker 2: What's going on there. I'll tell you that story in
Speaker 2: just a second, But first a fond look back at
Speaker 2: the week that was. It was a four day week.
Speaker 2: I gotta love these four day weeks. It's we call
Speaker 2: it cow. It's an acronym for clips of the week.
Speaker 2: It's cow. They call it cow clips of the week.
Speaker 2: It's cow.
Speaker 3: And I know everyone continues to be like, oh, what
Speaker 3: else is coming?
Speaker 2: Grand Planner review my definition? Yes, that's my kind of man.
Speaker 4: One of his biggest supporters, Senator Bernie Sanders, has now
Speaker 4: told Platner, you have to bow out.
Speaker 3: I think the focus of today should be on the
Speaker 3: campaign coming to a close. Rank and file Democrats think
Speaker 3: that this was cooked up in Washington.
Speaker 2: D say, I just want to make it clear, this
Speaker 2: was all false. The things that have been claimed did
Speaker 2: not happen. It's not real. The genocide of Bosa.
Speaker 3: I think you're all the genocide and SASA.
Speaker 2: Today President Trump is putting it on unnoticed.
Speaker 1: So a central command confirms a second consecutive wave of strikes.
Speaker 3: They see we hit him very hard last night, very hard,
Speaker 3: I will say in twenty to one.
Speaker 2: But I think it's us absolutely necessary. I think it
Speaker 2: is totally crucial that US forcefully.
Speaker 4: Reacts because he fired Jonny the EMOU dead.
Speaker 2: To me, I think it's over. I do it in
Speaker 2: my whole life. That's all I do is zeals.
Speaker 3: They're liars, they're cheats, they're sick people. I don't like
Speaker 3: these people. You know that there's gum. You know what
Speaker 3: scum is. There's gum, there's sick people.
Speaker 2: Another hellish night in Ukraine.
Speaker 3: The President Putin said, I would love to meet in Moscow.
Speaker 2: I don't know that he'd go to Moscow. Maybe he would.
Speaker 3: Would you go to Moscow?
Speaker 2: It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukraine and drones
Speaker 2: today are I don't want anything to do with Spain.
Speaker 3: Cut off all trade with Spain, bless all right, take
Speaker 3: it immediately, don't even talk to them.
Speaker 2: They're hopeless. Deep as President got a call from President Trump.
Speaker 3: How do you penalize them for a game that hasn't
Speaker 3: been played yet.
Speaker 2: It's very unfair. You can't do that. Ex Clips of
Speaker 2: the Week a couple of things there. Won the whole
Speaker 2: cutting off trade with Spain thing, that was just like,
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the most off the top of
Speaker 2: his head thing I think he's ever done by the
Speaker 2: way Spain cutoff trade of them, I'll trade They're useless?
Speaker 2: What okay? Unfortunately Trump missed the joke there because he
Speaker 2: was busy taking questions and choosing who he was going
Speaker 2: to go with next. That was a great line from
Speaker 2: Zelensky off the top of his head when put in
Speaker 2: the weird, awkward position of would you go to Moscow
Speaker 2: to meet with Putin? I don't know. It's very dangerous
Speaker 2: there there are a lot of Ukrainian drones. There was
Speaker 2: a great line. I wish Trump had caught it, or
Speaker 2: he did catch it and ignored it on purpose to
Speaker 2: avoid having to laugh at it. I don't know, but
Speaker 2: that was a really, really good line. I want to
Speaker 2: get to this. There are two damn Sullivan's running for
Speaker 2: Senate story, but I just came across this. This will
Speaker 2: horrify you. A man was nearly sucked out the window
Speaker 2: of a flight. This is a big passenger flight when
Speaker 2: it detached mid air on the way to Germany. Other
Speaker 2: passengers had to grab him by the legs and pull
Speaker 2: him backside. A witness told media today, Holy crap. The passenger,
Speaker 2: described as a tourist from Serbia on a flight in
Speaker 2: Greece to Germany, was hospitalized with friction burns, but was
Speaker 2: an otherwise good condition. Something happened on the plane and
Speaker 2: he almost got sucked out the window and they had
Speaker 2: him by the feet pulling him back in. Oh my god, Wow,
Speaker 2: I better get a free drink for that free beverage. Jeez,
Speaker 2: ever be scary. Can you imagine how loud and windy
Speaker 2: that would be? Oh god, yeah, Paul Harner, you got
Speaker 2: my feet come on, give me me, I'm almost dead again.
Speaker 2: This would be a story everybody knows if the Republicans
Speaker 2: were pulling this trick. I guess all's fair and love
Speaker 2: and politics. But up in Alaska, one of the many
Speaker 2: Senate races, and each one of these Senate races is
Speaker 2: very important. That's the why Platinir and that whole thing
Speaker 2: and Maine has gotten so much attention because it's basically
Speaker 2: it's so close to being a fifty to fifty Senate
Speaker 2: that who controls it? And yesterday Lonnie Chin laid that
Speaker 2: out for us. All kinds of appointments and all kinds
Speaker 2: of different things that Donald Trump wants to do that
Speaker 2: he can't do unless Republicans control the Senate and the
Speaker 2: Dems are going to take the House. And if they
Speaker 2: had the House and the Senate, that Trump's doing nothing
Speaker 2: the last two years of his presidency, and I mean nothing,
Speaker 2: but anyway, so each Senate race is a really, really
Speaker 2: big deal. And in Alaska they've got a senator named
Speaker 2: Dan Sullivan. He is their junior US senator and he
Speaker 2: is up for reelection. Well, they do the rank choice
Speaker 2: voting thing there where the top two candidates get in
Speaker 2: all right, another Dan Sullivan is running for the Senate
Speaker 2: as a Republican also. And one of the things that
Speaker 2: makes it clear what's going on here political newcomer, it
Speaker 2: says here Dan J. Sullivan as opposed to the other one.
Speaker 2: Danes Sullivan is a sixty eight year old retired elementary
Speaker 2: school teacher and former US for A service worker from
Speaker 2: a small town in southeast Alaska. He filed to run
Speaker 2: against the current Senator Dan Sullivan days before the June first,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six filing deadline, just over a month ago.
Speaker 2: He filed as a Republican also in Alaska's top four
Speaker 2: non partisan primary system the way it works there, and
Speaker 2: this sparked accusations I think that are accurate by the
Speaker 2: Republican Party that this is just an attempt to confuse
Speaker 2: voters and split the vote with the actual Dan Sullivan
Speaker 2: so that he will not get as many votes as
Speaker 2: the one Mary peltoa Peltola, Mary Peltola, who is the
Speaker 2: Democrat running up there. And one of the keys to
Speaker 2: the story is this Dan J. Sullivan, the other Dan
Speaker 2: Sullivan that's running. They've got documentation of him given money
Speaker 2: to various Democratic candidates and causes over the years. So
Speaker 2: his claim that he's a Republican. They found another guy
Speaker 2: with the same name, got him on the ballot, and
Speaker 2: the hope is and they don't need him to win, obviously,
Speaker 2: they just need him to peel away. Who knows how
Speaker 2: close the election will be two to fifteen percent of
Speaker 2: voters who don't hear this story in Alaska or don't
Speaker 2: pay attention, or get the wrong one or whatever, and
Speaker 2: split the Dan Sullivan vote so that the Democrat wins.
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy that that actually happened. I mean, obviously
Speaker 2: there are no laws to stop it. It's the guy's
Speaker 2: actual name. Now, I did hear some story that he
Speaker 2: originally filed with the same middle initials, So you got
Speaker 2: Daniel S. Sullivan, who's the actual senator, and this guy,
Speaker 2: Dan J. Sullivan filed with the middle initial s. But
Speaker 2: then there was a legal challenge to that, and so
Speaker 2: he had to change it to Jay. They just didn't
Speaker 2: think this through because there's nothing stopping you from changing
Speaker 2: your name, which I'm amazed at more people don't change
Speaker 2: their names. You're not stuck with the name of your
Speaker 2: parents gave you, or if you don't like it, for
Speaker 2: whatever reason, or if you decided it was too popular,
Speaker 2: or you just want to start over. It doesn't cost
Speaker 2: much to go down to the courthouse and change your naming.
Speaker 2: Can be whatever you want. I'm surprised this guy didn't
Speaker 2: go down and change his middle name from Scott to
Speaker 2: you know, Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt, so that he could also be
Speaker 2: or I guess he would change it from Jay to
Speaker 2: s change it to Samuel so he could also have
Speaker 2: been Daniel Scott Sullivan. There was a challenge in the courts,
Speaker 2: but the courts ruled that no, he can. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's his actual name. He can't stop him from running,
Speaker 2: so we'll see how that turns out. Pretty clever. Again,
Speaker 2: If the Republicans are doing this sort of trick in
Speaker 2: a Senate race, with each Senate race being such an
Speaker 2: important thing, it would have gotten national loose coverage. But
Speaker 2: it's not. When is the England I'm gonna ask chat GPT,
Speaker 2: can I do that while we're on there? When is
Speaker 2: England Norway for the World Cup soccer match? Because that's
Speaker 2: what I want to make sure I watch, because that's
Speaker 2: got the big giant Holland guy, the striking Viking that
Speaker 2: everybody's fallen in love with, not like romantically, although maybe
Speaker 2: some of you women find him hot and attractive. Roever,
Speaker 2: just a really really cool guy and friendly to the fans.
Speaker 2: And he's got an Instagram feed with tens of millions
Speaker 2: of followers in every city that he's played soccer in,
Speaker 2: Like when they were in Texas, he went out and
Speaker 2: got some boots in a cowboy hat and did a
Speaker 2: big video that he posted, and he goes to fast
Speaker 2: food joints and stuff like that. Really cool guy and
Speaker 2: an excellent soccer player. He's currently second in the World
Speaker 2: Cup and goals scored. Him and Messi fighting for the
Speaker 2: what they call the Golden Boot award every World Cup
Speaker 2: for who scores the most goals. Tomorrow, two Pacific, five
Speaker 2: Eastern Norway, England. If you want to catch the most
Speaker 2: compelling story in all of the World Cup soccer, so
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal with an exclusive on Iran's attempt to
Speaker 2: assassinate Donald Trump and why he had to change planes
Speaker 2: and a couple other things, among a few stories I
Speaker 2: think you ought to know about. Coming up next Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Yetty. He's seeing this headline Hanson about the vicious
Speaker 2: stomach bug going across the United States. Is that what
Speaker 2: your kid has or do you think it's from swimming
Speaker 2: in that water hole. There's some sort of stomach bug
Speaker 2: all across the country that's making people, Uh, well, do
Speaker 2: the things that stomach bugs do. Hope you don't get that.
Speaker 2: About to play a joke from Greg Guttfeld, who's often
Speaker 2: very very edgy, and just let me know if you
Speaker 2: got kids in the car or your squeamish here and
Speaker 2: not in the mood for this sort of thing. I
Speaker 2: don't turn out for fifty tune out for fifteen seconds.
Speaker 2: But here's Greg Gutfeld.
Speaker 4: An Indiana man was arrested for arson after he cut
Speaker 4: off his penis, poured gasoline on it, and then set
Speaker 4: it on fire in his family's garage, which raises the
Speaker 4: question who can afford to waste gasoline like that?
Speaker 2: Obviously that was not Greg, that was Cat Timpha was
Speaker 2: on his show every day, but that was one of
Speaker 2: his jokes which reminded me of this horrifying story. I
Speaker 2: was trying to decide whether to do this or not.
Speaker 2: The headline was in the California Post. This happened in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles last week. Horrifying truth behind death of man
Speaker 2: who cut off his penis in bloody downtown LA meltdown.
Speaker 2: Guy went off the rails street person in Los Angeles
Speaker 2: and cut off his own thingy with a pocket knife
Speaker 2: in front of people. That is gruesome. Thirty one year
Speaker 2: old dude, Ryan Dexter Sutherland, don't know if I needed
Speaker 2: to say your name because things aren't going that well
Speaker 2: for you. I don't know if you need more attention,
Speaker 2: says here in the California Post. The new blood curdling details.
Speaker 2: They are blood curdling. My blood's curdling right now. About
Speaker 2: the extreme self mutilation in the early hours of March
Speaker 2: seventh were revealed in a medical examiner's report. The guy
Speaker 2: is dead. He inflicted himself with more than twenty stab wounds,
Speaker 2: including on his neck, upper abdomen, wrists, and forearms. The
Speaker 2: only reason I'd do this story, not just for shock value,
Speaker 2: is that he was high on meth. I tell my kids,
Speaker 2: I've told my oldest anyway, this a few times when
Speaker 2: we drive by people that are shouting at a fire
Speaker 2: hydrant underneath a bridge that look like they're eighty years old,
Speaker 2: and they're probably twenty five and might be you know,
Speaker 2: one more hit away from cutting off their own genitals
Speaker 2: and perhaps setting them on fire, like the Greg Gutfeld
Speaker 2: joke is those people on meth, they didn't start out
Speaker 2: with this plan. They started out as it was just
Speaker 2: going to be fun with friends kind of partying. And
Speaker 2: these highly, highly, highly addictive street drugs that exist now
Speaker 2: are so addictive and can take you down a bad
Speaker 2: path so fast. You know. I got more details on
Speaker 2: the him cutting himself, and I just I can't imagine
Speaker 2: that any money. I'll tell you that the medical term
Speaker 2: for what he did to himself is de gloving de gloving,
Speaker 2: So if you want to chat GPT the term degloving
Speaker 2: and learn more about that act about that part of
Speaker 2: the body with a knife, feel free. The toxicology report
Speaker 2: showed that he had an extreme amount of methamphetamine in
Speaker 2: his system, as well as MDMA, which I don't know
Speaker 2: what that particular drug is anyway. His blood concentration of
Speaker 2: meth was considered a deadly amount, and the doctors were
Speaker 2: amazed that the guy was not already dead, that he
Speaker 2: was still alive enough to even, you know, decide to
Speaker 2: cut off his own junk. But he'd probably built up
Speaker 2: such a tolerance of it doing the drugs for so long.
Speaker 2: Remember it's now several years ago that we talked a
Speaker 2: lot about that piece. I think was in the Atlantic
Speaker 2: or was it the New york Er. It doesn't make
Speaker 2: any difference talking to various people that aren't anti drugs.
Speaker 2: These aren't, you know, I don't know Baptist grandmas who
Speaker 2: don't think anybody should smoke pot. These were people that
Speaker 2: were pro drugs, drug users saying there's no such thing
Speaker 2: in the modern world is a safe street drug of
Speaker 2: any kind because of the way they've all been doctored
Speaker 2: up with fentanyl in this and that to make them
Speaker 2: more addictive and possibly can kill you with one dose.
Speaker 2: I got a friend who's a chemist who is explaining
Speaker 2: to me modern fentanyl and modern methamphetamine, and then this
Speaker 2: other drug I can't remember what the name of it was,
Speaker 2: some new thing that's on the street that's more addictive
Speaker 2: than fentanyl. On how it's just a completely different compound
Speaker 2: than anything that existed even ten years ago, let alone
Speaker 2: back in the day when you were partying. It's just
Speaker 2: a new world of this sort of stuff, and everybody
Speaker 2: to catch on to it and forms societal rules or
Speaker 2: norms around this new version of what these street drugs are.
Speaker 2: It's not just oh, you got kind of wild in
Speaker 2: your early twenties party drugs like it maybe used to be.
Speaker 2: This is a completely different thing. So that's enough of that.
Speaker 2: We got Iranian drones in Cuba. I am now officially
Speaker 2: an old person, which is got its benefits. I want
Speaker 2: to talk about that. I noticed that while I was
Speaker 2: on vacation, and I'm going to use it to my
Speaker 2: benefit a lot now that I'm perceived as an old man,
Speaker 2: particularly by the young. It worked in my favorite several
Speaker 2: times on vacation was the other story the drone Iranian
Speaker 2: drones in Cuba. There's a oh, the assassination attempt on Trump.
Speaker 2: Definitely want to talk about that. And then we're going
Speaker 2: to talk to our healthcare expert, the healthcare guro, Craig Gottwalals,
Speaker 2: who we've had on for years and years and years.
Speaker 2: He warned us on how Obamacare would turn out, what
Speaker 2: they call the Affordable Care Act. He has turned out
Speaker 2: to be absolutely percent right and is having this conversation
Speaker 2: in real life just yesterday about how incredibly expensive medical
Speaker 2: bills are. Now I'm actually to the point that I
Speaker 2: wait when my kids have something wrong with them before,
Speaker 2: I want to go to the doctor because the bills
Speaker 2: you get are just nuts. And we've got the explanation
Speaker 2: for his why that is coming up an hour or two.
Speaker 2: A bunch of different things to get to. I hope
