Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetta and He Armstrong and.
Speaker 1: Brand New Week.
Speaker 2: Live from Studio C See San you or this is
Speaker 2: the week it all comes together.
Speaker 1: We're in a deal.
Speaker 2: We're in a dimly let room deeper than the bowels
Speaker 2: to the Armstrong in getting communications compound. And hey y'all,
Speaker 2: today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1: Ohio, the state, the state of Ohio. Yes, Ohio has.
Speaker 2: Just become the fifteenth state in the Union to adopt
Speaker 2: the flat tax.
Speaker 1: Really could it be?
Speaker 2: We are chipping away at the horrendous progressive tax code.
Speaker 2: I'll explain why I say horrendous, and it's not just
Speaker 2: because I'm fabulously like Jeffrey Epstein rich, but I certainly am.
Speaker 2: But no, the problem with their legion, problems with the
Speaker 2: progressive tax code.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later. Love the flat tax.
Speaker 3: Okay, fantastic, it's another flat tax Monday.
Speaker 1: There's something to look forward to.
Speaker 3: Speaking to economics, that has happened just in the last
Speaker 3: couple of hours that Trump announced they made the big.
Speaker 2: Tariff deal with Europe. He's calling it the biggest deal
Speaker 2: that's ever been made in world history period until the
Speaker 2: deal with China's.
Speaker 1: Made and a couple of days or a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: but biggest deal ever made.
Speaker 3: And they settled on a number for tariffs and all
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff that was good about to kick in.
Speaker 3: This horrifically high tariff was going to kick in on
Speaker 3: all of Europe in on Friday, on Agush first, and
Speaker 3: that has been avoided. I feel like the reporting on
Speaker 3: this stuff, you know that whole I've never believed it's
Speaker 3: actually a thing. Taco Trump always chickens out. I think
Speaker 3: one person said it once and then everybody, you know,
Speaker 3: Trump hating media acted like there was a a big thing.
Speaker 3: But why does everybody act like they've never heard of negotiating.
Speaker 3: So I've listened to the reporting today and says he
Speaker 3: once again lowered his number, He started this number, and
Speaker 3: this is what he settled for.
Speaker 1: So once again.
Speaker 2: Have you never bought a car or sold a car
Speaker 2: or anything in your life? Do you feel like that
Speaker 2: that you chickened out when you listed your car for
Speaker 2: twenty two but sold it for twenty one or is
Speaker 2: that just the way everybody does business. Welcome to Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getty's stupid or disingenuous, where you the audience designed
Speaker 2: whether a reporter is stupid or just a liar.
Speaker 3: It's possible because they're all twenty three year olds with
Speaker 3: no life experience, that they never bought or sold anything.
Speaker 1: I suppose, But isn't that a given their affection for socialism?
Speaker 2: They obviously have little grasp of economics in general. Is
Speaker 2: this starting at this number and then coming down to
Speaker 2: this number the way like everything you ever by works
Speaker 2: pretty much?
Speaker 1: Yeah, happens a lot. So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just don't see it being that thing. But AnyWho,
Speaker 3: not my lane in the whole tariff worlds. But they
Speaker 3: settled that. I'm glad.
Speaker 2: That seems like a good thing if we're not wondering
Speaker 2: about this or that. No I have I have a
Speaker 2: ninety one hundred and twenty minute long discussion of the
Speaker 2: tariffs ready to go that the time is indetermined because
Speaker 2: I'm still working on the songs. I'm thinking of it
Speaker 2: as being a musical tune, one of those one man
Speaker 2: shows where you have conversations with yourself have different accents, right, right,
Speaker 2: mixed with the famous dance recital in The Big Lebowski
Speaker 2: for those familiar with that fabulous movie.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's taking shape.
Speaker 3: Stay with us the other as as we come on
Speaker 3: the air, Trump's doing one of his multi hour press conferences.
Speaker 3: The other big news is he says he's going to
Speaker 3: shorten the whole fifty day cease fire with Russia. He
Speaker 3: doesn't sees no indication that Putin's even working toward coming
Speaker 3: up with a ceasefire deal, So no more of the
Speaker 3: fifty days is going to shorten. He didn't say to
Speaker 3: what I think I know why he doesn't see any
Speaker 3: sign Putin is working toward peace, because he ain't. I
Speaker 3: appreciate that, thuff her as opposed to pretending the entire
Speaker 3: fifty days that Putin is behind Kremlin walls, just frantically
Speaker 3: trying to figure out his ceasefire deal.
Speaker 1: Exactly, we must give more, We must give more. What
Speaker 1: shall we give? No? No, not at all. Please.
Speaker 3: How is everybody's weekend? Was it fantastic? Did you love it?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: I can't believe how close it is to school already.
Speaker 3: This happened as a conversation with Hanson, our executive producer.
Speaker 3: Summer's because of all kinds of weirdness.
Speaker 1: Some of it.
Speaker 3: I really hate with them adding more school days because
Speaker 3: they take too many days off during the year, or
Speaker 3: you get a lot of money for being in school
Speaker 3: another day, and all these different things. The sun takes
Speaker 3: a while to teach radical gender theory to seven year olds.
Speaker 1: They don't get it. It takes a while.
Speaker 3: I don't know where it is all across the country.
Speaker 3: But the summer is so short compared to when I
Speaker 3: was a kid. Yes, Michael used to be labor day.
Speaker 1: Labor Day is the last day, and after Labor Day
Speaker 1: we've went back to.
Speaker 2: The school starting like a month earlier. And that's a
Speaker 2: lot of weeks that you don't have for squeezing in
Speaker 2: vacation or whatever else you wanted to do.
Speaker 1: It's and the kids are.
Speaker 2: Getting dumber and dumber, engined by the government school performed.
Speaker 1: Don't blame the kids, blame the school.
Speaker 3: Always worth bringing up that none of these moves are
Speaker 3: leading to better outcomes. That's the argument I suppose they
Speaker 3: would make. It's important that we try to raise proficiency. Well,
Speaker 3: it's not working.
Speaker 2: If you were in favor of that, you'd be in
Speaker 2: favor of school choice. How how much of the school
Speaker 2: you're getting longer? Is just all the funding you get
Speaker 2: for being open a day? Well, every every state has
Speaker 2: a required number of days period. You don't get a
Speaker 2: super bonus for like going ten days over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they change the rules year by year of
Speaker 3: how many days you're going to be open.
Speaker 1: I realized what you're saying from the legislat.
Speaker 2: I thought, you're like looking at the schools as opposed
Speaker 2: to the legislature.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're doing ad hoc. No, Well, but
Speaker 3: isn't that the good? But who runs who runs the world?
Speaker 3: The teachers' unions exactly, But isn't that the reason?
Speaker 1: The reason?
Speaker 3: Because you you know, you add five days, that's a
Speaker 3: lot of.
Speaker 2: Money, and then they turn those into teachers' institutes whatever
Speaker 2: those are. I guess, And yeah, I don't, but there's
Speaker 2: got to be some good reason somebody who knows. Why
Speaker 2: is the school year so much longer than it was
Speaker 2: ten years, twenty years ago, forty years ago when proficiency
Speaker 2: in reading in math was much higher.
Speaker 1: So we're getting less for our buck, but the school
Speaker 1: years so much longer. That's one hundred percent true.
Speaker 2: Contrarian point of view, though it might have to do
Speaker 2: with the fact that vastly more women are working than
Speaker 2: were forty years ago.
Speaker 1: Fifty years ago, she.
Speaker 2: Extended the school year to have more government childcare. Correct, Well,
Speaker 2: that's not a good reason either. I want a reason
Speaker 2: that includes education. Does anybody reason? Does anybody have any
Speaker 2: reasons that adds up to it? Helps the kids?
Speaker 1: Get the audience laugh ready, Michael.
Speaker 2: Jack is looking for good reasons for government schools.
Speaker 1: To do the things they.
Speaker 2: Do, as opposed to corrupt, stupid, ideological, greedy reasons.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is not hyperbole. I'm not above hyperbole,
Speaker 1: but this isn't it.
Speaker 2: Our government schools are diseased to their bones, the entire system,
Speaker 2: all of it. It really is colleges and universities. It
Speaker 2: is clearly to a point where one wonders if one
Speaker 2: tends to use one in a sentence like one just did.
Speaker 1: One wonders.
Speaker 2: Whether there's any fix in it from the outsider, if
Speaker 2: it's just got to be torn down through aggressive school choice. Well,
Speaker 2: I know that answer. I've advocated for it a thousand times.
Speaker 3: I have an important point to make about the show,
Speaker 3: But first we need to start the show officially before
Speaker 3: we get in trouble with you. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Speaker 3: Joe Getty on this. It is Monday, July twenty eighth.
Speaker 3: We're almost out of July. People, the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: We are armstrong in getting and we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trump's shiffings shaping FCC violators down to that El
Speaker 2: salvad Orbison. Yeah, they would hand off an They would
Speaker 2: have us down there, bent over and too old for
Speaker 2: that crap. Please, all right, let's beget officially that according
Speaker 2: to FCC rules, the REGs.
Speaker 1: Here we go, limping into action at.
Speaker 5: Mark, President Trump said he plans on going after Obama
Speaker 5: for ordering the Russian collusion investigation. He claims the only
Speaker 5: reason he let Hillary stay out of jail is because
Speaker 5: he wanted Bill to suffer.
Speaker 2: Oh now what that is means forty to see that
Speaker 2: punchline coming.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about this.
Speaker 3: So we're working on cameras for the for everybody, so
Speaker 3: we can start video wing the show.
Speaker 1: This isn't the same in video outlets, Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: Well, because because podcasting being available on YouTube or wherever
Speaker 2: is huge.
Speaker 3: Lots of lots of big podcasts with that. For whatever reason,
Speaker 3: lots of people like to watch their podcasts. Not exactly
Speaker 3: sure why, but all the biggest podcasts you can name
Speaker 3: are also video. So we're gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 3: But will there be any change in the look? I
Speaker 3: noticed today? I'm wearing a suit with a stiff, starched
Speaker 3: white shirt. You are wearing a cut the crap T shirt.
Speaker 3: It's a very different look. Will you change anything about
Speaker 3: that when we're on television? Yeah, I probably will.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you should, I'm just asking, well, no,
Speaker 1: it's a reasonable I didn't take it that way. It's
Speaker 1: a It's a.
Speaker 2: Fine, high quality cotton blend Armstrong and Getty cut the
Speaker 2: crab T shirt.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I might. I might pimp the merch a
Speaker 1: little bit. I don't know. It's funny.
Speaker 2: For most of our careers, you were much more casual
Speaker 2: than I was.
Speaker 1: I'd say, but I've freaked the Uh what do the
Speaker 1: kids say? The point in my life? So watch just
Speaker 1: I'm very comfort wear pants now? Huh you have to
Speaker 1: wear pants? Yeah? When we're on TV. Yes, Katie. It's
Speaker 1: just gonna say.
Speaker 6: I'm very much looking forward to Michael putting his shirt
Speaker 6: back on.
Speaker 1: He frees him up. Nudity brings them closer to Earth's
Speaker 1: mother nature. Katie, you just have to deal with it.
Speaker 1: The contract you should have read it fine print.
Speaker 3: So anyway, when that starts happening, we'll tell you all
Speaker 3: about it, because that'll be very exciting and I'm sure
Speaker 3: all the mockery, the endless mockery, that'll be fun.
Speaker 1: That'll be fun to wade through people watching christizes. That'll
Speaker 1: be a good time.
Speaker 3: So we got Katie's headlines on the way, and there's
Speaker 3: quite a few of them, and more of the news
Speaker 3: of the day to get to Trump is having a
Speaker 3: press conference right now where he's making news as he
Speaker 3: always does, among other things.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, dividing up Ukraine? Hansen, Did he mean dividing
Speaker 2: up Ukraine?
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll get Trump was just asked about making a
Speaker 3: deal with Putin around Ukraine and said something that's what. Okay,
Speaker 3: maybe we'll get to that later.
Speaker 2: It's funny we've been talking off the air about the
Speaker 2: fact that Trump holds forth Jack, You've referred to them
Speaker 2: as press conferences, a silly quibble. I think the press
Speaker 2: refers to them as sprays, which is a bad term
Speaker 2: of when the President just kind of in an impromptu way,
Speaker 2: is sitting there and.
Speaker 1: Alask answer questions rather anyway.
Speaker 2: But these sprays go on and on or whatever you
Speaker 2: wanna call them, go on and on and on, and
Speaker 2: it's become a bit of an editing nightmare for the crew.
Speaker 1: But he said something about Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, which we'll get to it a little bit later,
Speaker 2: maybe like a next segment. Yeah, coming up for what
Speaker 2: it's worth in voraciously consuming what I consume to get
Speaker 2: ready for the show. There's a lot of positive stuff today. Hey,
Speaker 2: that's progress. That's a good twist. I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 2: So stay tuned for it. Doubt it uncharacteristically cheery, Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Geddy show. But first we must figure out who's
Speaker 2: reporting what it's the lead story with Katie Green Katie get.
Speaker 6: It well on the Russia topic from ABC. Russia hits
Speaker 6: Ukraine with hundreds of drones and missiles, prompting NATO response.
Speaker 2: Net a response in what way like a verbal response
Speaker 2: or did we bomb? Did NATO bomb?
Speaker 1: Verbal response?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, CNN is ray.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm sorry, Katie, but yeah, Putin's really prone
Speaker 2: to a good tongue lashing.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, and that's the way to get him
Speaker 1: in line from.
Speaker 6: CNN Israeli Minister Warren's quote, gates of hell will open
Speaker 6: in Gaza if hostages aren't immediately released.
Speaker 1: H I hope they mean it.
Speaker 2: Oh, coming up a really interesting look at is there
Speaker 2: actually starvation going on in Gaza? That is the lead
Speaker 2: story everywhere, But there's a hell of a lot of misinformation.
Speaker 2: It is an information war right now as much as
Speaker 2: we as a bullet war.
Speaker 1: One. I can't wait to talk about it.
Speaker 2: And something unique I heard on NPR today about that,
Speaker 2: So stay tuned.
Speaker 6: From the Wall Street Journal, Dollar Nasdaq futures rise after
Speaker 6: Trump strikes EU deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah certainty. From the New York Post.
Speaker 6: Florida County school board chair deletes comments celebrating Hulk Hogan's
Speaker 6: death as quote.
Speaker 1: One less maga, what is wrong with you people? Good lord?
Speaker 2: How can you be so sorely lacking in Judgment'll fire
Speaker 2: you for your lack of judgment more than your attitude.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're such an idiot.
Speaker 2: I mean you're such a child that you're emotional glee
Speaker 2: about the other side taking.
Speaker 1: A minor, minor hit.
Speaker 2: You've got to express it publicly despite your job.
Speaker 1: I mean, that makes you a moron. From the Washington Post.
Speaker 6: In a stressful human world, mermaiding gains popularity in DC area.
Speaker 1: What's mermaiding?
Speaker 6: Mermaiding is when a bunch of adults put on mermaid
Speaker 6: tales and sit in the deep end.
Speaker 1: Of a pool.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh boy, you should go hang out with
Speaker 2: the person who tweeted about Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1: Mermaiding. Shut up, oh boy.
Speaker 6: From Breitbart dot com. Serial butt sniffer arrested again in California.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Now that's a hobby. And it's not a dog.
Speaker 1: It's a human. It's a human.
Speaker 6: It would not be much of a story if it
Speaker 6: was a dog.
Speaker 1: Right from Fox Business.
Speaker 6: Court rules that Google must pay twelve to a man
Speaker 6: who was photographed.
Speaker 1: Naked by their street view camera.
Speaker 2: That's interesting, now, how did they come to that settlement?
Speaker 2: Because I know a little bit about reaching legal settlements.
Speaker 2: If he'd been like really buff and good looking and
Speaker 2: like really well endowed, would that have been a smaller settlement?
Speaker 1: Or would if he owed them money?
Speaker 2: Or what I mean, if they catch me naked in
Speaker 2: my backyard, which I never am, but if they did,
Speaker 2: that settlement would be substantial because there would be a
Speaker 2: lot of derision, a lot of verbal abuse.
Speaker 6: And finally this one from the Babylon Bee. Hosts of
Speaker 6: the View go on hiatus to tear unwary sailors apart
Speaker 6: with their talons.
Speaker 3: Wow, we have some pretty giant headlines that are happening.
Speaker 1: As we come on the air.
Speaker 3: I mean, we type up a script for the four
Speaker 3: hour show every single day, we're gonna have to tear
Speaker 3: up several pages because of breaking news.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to all that coming up.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, plus that good stuff I was talking about, happy life,
Speaker 2: affirming positive.
Speaker 1: If Jack will get out of the way, can't imagine
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Well, like the Ohio flat tax thing.
Speaker 2: I think that is a great sign of the good
Speaker 2: people of the United States, not the coastal elite media scum,
Speaker 2: but the good people in their common sense winning the day.
Speaker 3: All right, So we got lots on the way. We'll
Speaker 3: bring you up to speed on the breaking news and
Speaker 3: all that. If you miss a segment, get the podcast.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty un demanded.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: We've had discussions.
Speaker 1: You and I have had discussions.
Speaker 7: We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then
Speaker 7: President Porton goes out and starts launching rockets into some
Speaker 7: city like Kief and kills a lot of people in
Speaker 7: a nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all
Speaker 7: over the street.
Speaker 1: And I say, that's not the way to do it.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 7: A very disappointed I'm disappointed, and President Putin very disappointed
Speaker 7: at him.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to look and I'm going to.
Speaker 7: Reduce that fifty days that I gave him to a
Speaker 7: lesser number because I think I already know the answer.
Speaker 1: What's going to happen.
Speaker 7: Okay, thank you very much, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll see you. Let Wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 3: Yet the psychology of that dude, there are some people
Speaker 3: that think that story he told a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: ago where he said, I'll get off, I'll have a
Speaker 3: good phone call with Putin and then i'll come home
Speaker 3: and I'll tell Milania I had a great phone call
Speaker 3: with Vladimir today, really good phone call. And she'll say
Speaker 3: Millennia will say, yeah, well he's bombing them again.
Speaker 1: And just bombing another city right now.
Speaker 2: And that it might just be because he was embarrassed
Speaker 2: in front of his wife that this has changed everything.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I wonder wow, because otherwise on a basis for American
Speaker 2: foreign policy up in the right place, it's just kind
Speaker 2: of a weird way to get there.
Speaker 3: More on that in just a second. On the whole
Speaker 3: rush of thing, got to tease a couple of things
Speaker 3: that are big. First of all, Katie mentioned in her
Speaker 3: little headline run down what I thought was a flipplant,
Speaker 3: flippant flipper it.
Speaker 1: Wow, what now? I hope this isn't frumius bandersnatch.
Speaker 3: I hope this isn't what we learned about in eighth
Speaker 3: grade English class about foreshadowing or something about what the
Speaker 3: whole week's.
Speaker 1: Going to be like for me trying to speak.
Speaker 2: Oh boys, what I thought Katie did was a flippant,
Speaker 2: frivolous story about a butt sniffer. Turns out to be
Speaker 2: a very big deal. The Burbank butt sniffer. He had
Speaker 2: got thrown in jail four years ago, he got let out,
Speaker 2: he immediately started up again, and we've got all the
Speaker 2: details on that story from the cops.
Speaker 1: We will get to next hour.
Speaker 2: Cereals, Wow, what the hell is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Dude?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How many kinds of crazy?
Speaker 3: Are there anybody ever counted the total number of kinds
Speaker 3: of crazy?
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that big a DSM book? Is that? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Back to you, I.
Speaker 3: Had another important story I wanted to tease, but I
Speaker 3: don't remember what it was. Anyway, So I guess we'll
Speaker 3: give back to this Trump saying I ain't gonna be
Speaker 3: fifty days.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to shorten that, because clearly Vladimir doesn't
Speaker 2: give a crap ah.
Speaker 1: But then that was to wrap up the press conference.
Speaker 3: But before that he got into this about Ukraine and
Speaker 3: talking to Putin, not exactly sure what he means.
Speaker 1: Here do you need?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to use the word la. All
Speaker 4: I know is would have a good talk. And it seemed,
Speaker 4: on let's say three occasions, it seemed that we were
Speaker 4: going to have a cease fire and maybe peace, and
Speaker 4: you divide it up and you do whatever you have
Speaker 4: to do that obviously to get to the end. And
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, uh, miss are flying into Kiev
Speaker 4: and other places, and I say, what's that all about.
Speaker 4: I spoke to him three four hours ago, and it
Speaker 4: looked like we were on our way. And then I'd
Speaker 4: say forget it, and I'm not gonna goalk anymore. You know,
Speaker 4: this has happened on too many occasions, and I don't
Speaker 4: like it.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. Trump has dealt with gazillions of
Speaker 2: people doing all kinds of deals his whole life.
Speaker 1: Is this the first time.
Speaker 2: He's ever encountered anybody you can't trust? Surely not or
Speaker 2: a sociopath. No, I'm befuddled by his apparent slowness to
Speaker 2: come around of what kind of guy Putin is, especially
Speaker 2: given the fact that quite a number of his advisors
Speaker 2: should know and be able to communicate that to him.
Speaker 2: I wonder if he just doesn't buy it. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: thanks for moving in the direction of greater support for Ukraine.
Speaker 2: I guess I guess so.
Speaker 3: And I was listening to my Telegraph podcast on Friday.
Speaker 3: They have always had the latest on Ukraine. They said
Speaker 3: that Patriot missile deal is huge and they're already there
Speaker 3: the whole There are various stories about it. How many
Speaker 3: months or years or when they would actually they're there
Speaker 3: there and being set up or probably operational by now,
Speaker 3: because on Friday they said they'd be operational by the weekend.
Speaker 3: So we got them the Patriot missile battery.
Speaker 2: Fast well, as I believe Joe Getty reported, the idea
Speaker 2: was that the Europeans would just move them right across
Speaker 2: the border. Then we'd backfill for the Europeans. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it was pretty efficient.
Speaker 3: So the people claiming it would be six months before
Speaker 3: they were was that just anti Trump.
Speaker 1: People or I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was just wondering that same thing, whether it's just
Speaker 2: in competence or naysayers or I don't know.
Speaker 3: Speaking of news and what's true and what's so I
Speaker 3: was watching a little of the Sunday shows yesterday. The
Speaker 3: Sunday News shows, there are four major ones. God bless you,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even show those shows to prisoners, ABC this Week,
Speaker 3: Meet the Press, Face the Nation, and then Fox News Sunday.
Speaker 3: Those are the four that I always take in, at
Speaker 3: least the beginning two of the four led with Epstein.
Speaker 2: On Oh you know, I was going to remark earlier
Speaker 2: that we have been e free so far today.
Speaker 3: Right, this is kind of I mean, obviously it has
Speaker 3: the name in it, but it's kind of a different
Speaker 3: take on it. On ABC this Week, they immediately went
Speaker 3: to their legal panel with Chris Christy, who I don't
Speaker 3: trust to be an honest broker on freaking anything. He
Speaker 3: might be the most annoying, annoying presence on all of television,
Speaker 3: and that's a hell of a bar. I think Chris
Speaker 3: Christie is the single most annoying presence on all of
Speaker 3: TV news.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the view?
Speaker 3: God, he's full of crap and he hates Trump so
Speaker 3: much for being in Paris in public that he just
Speaker 3: humiliating him.
Speaker 1: Deliberately over and over again. Yet and he can't see
Speaker 1: straight because of that. Anyway.
Speaker 3: They also had Sarah izgaron from The Dispatch, who is
Speaker 3: a very honest broker on news related stuff and worked
Speaker 3: in the Justice Department under Trump and everything like that.
Speaker 2: They both completely flummixed as to why the number two
Speaker 2: person in the Justice Department, and really the person that
Speaker 2: runs the Justice Department, because the Attorney General's too busy,
Speaker 2: you know, is the top person to actually run it
Speaker 2: day to day. The person who runs the Justice Department
Speaker 2: spent nine hours interviewing Ghlaine Maxwell and they can't understand
Speaker 2: why that would be completely unprecedented that a person at
Speaker 2: that level would go interview somebody on a case that's
Speaker 2: old and settled.
Speaker 1: I mean, what is going on there.
Speaker 2: It just seems to be like without president of any
Speaker 2: kind for that sort of thing to happen, and nobody
Speaker 2: can understand why. Well, it's we're discussing last week unprecedented
Speaker 2: times unprecedented will equal unprecedented. And you have a bunch
Speaker 2: of higher ups in the administration who were podcasters and
Speaker 2: hype men for the Epstein conspiracy for long time. Now
Speaker 2: they're in power. They over promised, they under delivered. They
Speaker 2: thought it would go under the rug, it has not.
Speaker 2: And speaking of unprecedented, and I was going to get
Speaker 2: into this a greater length later, but you have a
Speaker 2: scandal that is being pumped for completely different reasons by
Speaker 2: the left and the right. The left never having the
Speaker 2: slightest interest in the Epstein story when they had all
Speaker 2: the power, but now because they perceive it by damage Trump,
Speaker 2: they're pretending to care. So anyway, Yeah, so the equals
Speaker 2: unprecedented is you got the number two in the Justice
Speaker 2: Department going down to the prison to talk to Madam
Speaker 2: Perv to say, look, we could probably shorten your sentence
Speaker 2: if you could give us anything that looks like a
Speaker 2: major revelation about the per Another powerful. Oh seriously, anything
Speaker 2: because this is a poostorm, that's what you think it is.
Speaker 2: That's interesting. Yeah, so you think the number two got
Speaker 2: involved to try to slam the door on this thing? Yeah,
Speaker 2: dig up something that would satisfy the base and therefore
Speaker 2: de energize the incredibly hypocritical democrats from howling about this stuff.
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty interesting. I haven't heard anybody say that
Speaker 3: with you, but that makes sense.
Speaker 1: The other.
Speaker 2: Part of it that is weird, well, that is that
Speaker 2: you know that that's so weird on its own.
Speaker 1: I mean she had to be thinking what is going
Speaker 1: on here? Right? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So a great deal more to come after a word
Speaker 2: from our friends that simply Save Home security?
Speaker 1: What does it mean? What does it mean to feel
Speaker 1: safe at home? To you? Good locks?
Speaker 2: Maybe an alarm would make up a lot of noise,
Speaker 2: make a lot of noise if somebody broke in, But
Speaker 2: then you.
Speaker 1: Don't want to wait until after the break in.
Speaker 2: And that's why simply Safe's new Active Guard outdoor protection
Speaker 2: is so amazing and helps stop breakings before they occur.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice to be able to catch people who
Speaker 3: broke into your house, but catching them before they break
Speaker 3: in is really even more fantastic. And with the AI
Speaker 3: powered cameras and the live monitoring agents and all that
Speaker 3: detecting suspicious activity.
Speaker 1: It can happen.
Speaker 3: There are four million Americans that trust simply Safe. I'm
Speaker 3: one of them. I got the sign in front of
Speaker 3: my house and it makes me feel good every day
Speaker 3: when I'm back out of the driveway that I got
Speaker 3: The cameras and the sensors and all that going on
Speaker 3: costs about a dollar a day. Yep, as soon as
Speaker 3: our construction done, going back up rank number one in
Speaker 3: customer service by all sorts of publications monitoring plans.
Speaker 2: The supervance stuff starts around a bucket day. Can you
Speaker 2: believe that so much less expensive than traditional systems. Visit
Speaker 2: simply safe dot com slash armstrong to claim fifty percent
Speaker 2: off a new system with a pro monitoring plan gets
Speaker 2: first month free simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's
Speaker 2: no safe like simply safe. So we're not going to
Speaker 2: get into the details until hour two and actually hear
Speaker 2: from the police officers involved. But this guy, he would
Speaker 2: be like at a Barnes and Noble bookstore. They got
Speaker 2: in one video and he would like get down on
Speaker 2: his hands and knees behind a woman and it would
Speaker 2: appear to be trying to smell her from behind. Anyway,
Speaker 2: he did this multiple times and got caught, and it
Speaker 2: did it enough to actually go to jail for a
Speaker 2: length of time.
Speaker 1: He gets let loose, and like.
Speaker 2: Immediately he goes out in the public and starts doing
Speaker 2: it again. His mother was a native born American. His
Speaker 2: father was a Labrador retriever.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Police caught him when he stopped at a fire hydrant
Speaker 3: and raised his leg to urinate, and they were able
Speaker 3: to nab him.
Speaker 1: Wow, he hasn't well. I guess we'll get the full
Speaker 1: story next tower. And aren't we all looking forward to that?
Speaker 1: Plus the good progress they were able to apprehend him.
Speaker 3: They just kept throwing a chew toy and he'd run
Speaker 3: and get it minute, threw it again until they got
Speaker 3: him in.
Speaker 1: The jail cell.
Speaker 2: Right, plus us some good stuff happening university wise, the
Speaker 2: flat tax thing I was talking about bums and junkies
Speaker 2: soon to be easier to get off your streets and
Speaker 2: sidewatch all sorts of good stuff going on. I got
Speaker 2: a rant about that guy we encountered yesterday. Happens way
Speaker 2: too much in the modern world, crazy drug addict on
Speaker 2: the street. You have to always check to see to
Speaker 2: have my pocket knife in case I'm gonna fight for
Speaker 2: my life with this nutjob, crazy way to live.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we've got mail bag on the way next day here.
Speaker 2: I know our listeners would be unhappy if we ignored
Speaker 2: a good guy with a gun story like all of
Speaker 2: mainstream media does from that Walmart stabbing story.
Speaker 1: We will get to that coming up later in the show.
Speaker 2: Also, indeed, everyday heroes, nice job. Here's your freedom loving.
Speaker 1: Quote of the day.
Speaker 2: I was singing the praises of Ohio earlier for going
Speaker 2: with the flat tax. I believe fifteenth State Union to
Speaker 2: say the progressive income tax is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Love it.
Speaker 2: More on that to come, But I was thinking of
Speaker 2: famous Ohioans, and I decided to go with William Howard Taft.
Speaker 1: He was an Ohio guy, wasn't he Jack? I think so.
Speaker 2: That's my recollection. Don't have time to look it up.
Speaker 2: Most notably four things. He was the president, Supreme Court
Speaker 2: justice and finals jal and a senator. No, that was
Speaker 2: the punchline. That's the fourth thing. Oh okay, he ruined
Speaker 2: it Michael, would you agree he ruined it? Yeah, I'd
Speaker 2: say so, what was the third thing going to be
Speaker 2: another accomplishment? He was a Supreme Court justice president, and
Speaker 2: he was the he was a senator. I think he
Speaker 2: was like the majority leader.
Speaker 1: Of the Senate. He was the top senator. Fat as hell.
Speaker 1: Was not really an accomplishment. No, no, that's why it
Speaker 1: was a joke.
Speaker 2: Indeed, and the punchline which you ruined, Michael, I think
Speaker 2: do I recall correct?
Speaker 1: Anyway?
Speaker 2: Moving along, Oh that's right, I need to actually hit
Speaker 2: you with the quotes.
Speaker 1: Let's see what do we go? What do we like?
Speaker 1: There are a lot of good ones.
Speaker 2: We live in a stage of politics where legislat seemed
Speaker 2: to regard the passage of laws as much more important
Speaker 2: than the results of their enforcement.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, obvious, that's yeah. Here's another good one for
Speaker 3: it's been that way for a long time. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 1: Politics makes me sick.
Speaker 2: That's a good quote from a guy who was at
Speaker 2: the head of all three branches of government. And then
Speaker 2: this is a little controversial. Now email Stu good let's
Speaker 2: get to mailbag. Well, this works half of tomorrow. I
Speaker 2: want to talk about that did not exactly have modern
Speaker 2: views on race, I'm afraid, but neither did practically anybody
Speaker 2: at the time. Drive us a note mail bag at
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty dot com. So Jake says, I thought
Speaker 2: i'd share this disappointing story. I was just in the
Speaker 2: People's Republican Davis. That's Davis, California, home of UC Davis.
Speaker 2: It is to the left of left. I was buying
Speaker 2: my son his first skateboard ever at the skate shop downtown.
Speaker 2: A couple of junkies got to in a full blown fistfight,
Speaker 2: and I mean full blown while we were in the shop.
Speaker 2: After they stopped and the spectator stopped watching, the twenty
Speaker 2: something year old store employee and I had the following
Speaker 2: brief conversation about it.
Speaker 1: Employee, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: My parents had a good point about those kind of
Speaker 2: guys because of capitalism, and because they'd probably come from
Speaker 2: somewhere where there's a lot of gang violence and stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what they're used to.
Speaker 2: Oh my, So they they come here to Davis because
Speaker 2: there's less gang violence.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Then Jake replied, do you think that's because of capitalism? Employee, Well,
Speaker 2: you know, it's really hard for them he's Jacob.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come to towns like that because nobody enforces
Speaker 2: the law in towns like that, and you can do
Speaker 2: drugs all day long. As you guys always say, the
Speaker 2: kids didn't raise themselves. I then had to watch vigilantly
Speaker 2: as we walked right by the two that were fighting
Speaker 2: to get back to my truck. People were just looking
Speaker 2: at the two drug addicts with a smile like, wow,
Speaker 2: that was funny.
Speaker 1: Insane, Not to mention trying to explain it all to
Speaker 1: my kid, Yeah, yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Tafton is the passage law is much more
Speaker 2: important than the results of their enforcement. California's case study
Speaker 2: in that passed a bunch of laws expressing a bizarre, progressive,
Speaker 2: illogical view of humanity, and they're suffering the consequence.
Speaker 3: Now you are discussing it with a probably stoned guy
Speaker 3: who works at a skateboard shop and a university town.
Speaker 3: But but how anybody comes to that conclusion is beyond me.
Speaker 3: Let's see, we had Hanson, our executive producer, produce some
Speaker 3: wacky songs via the Sumo It's suno Ai Music. We
Speaker 3: listened to the podcast, but my wife and I both
Speaker 3: use AI regularly. We downloaded the Suno, wrote lyrics and
Speaker 3: chat GPT, and in fifteen seconds we had a catchy tune.
Speaker 3: My wife's sister has not been well, so we thought
Speaker 3: we'd write her a song. Four minutes, a bullet points
Speaker 3: into chatch EPT fifteen seconds and sun we had a
Speaker 3: that made us both cry.
Speaker 1: We just stared at each other in disbelief. Wow.
Speaker 2: Then he goes on to point out we rode way
Speaker 2: Mo for the first time, all over San Francisco last week,
Speaker 2: and we're pretty blown away. I don't think we'll recognize
Speaker 2: our country in five years. I think the change is
Speaker 2: going to be stunningly fast. I don't think you could
Speaker 2: slow this down. It's coming in want to fundamentally change
Speaker 2: everything as we know it. And he says, best show
Speaker 2: on radio. Well, thank you, Tim, Yes, it's the program.
Speaker 2: Is Suno, not Sumo. Sumo is the sport in which
Speaker 2: people with taffed like physiques bump up against each other.
Speaker 2: I think autocorrect speaking of artificial intelligence, probably auto corrected him.
Speaker 2: But thanks for pointing out where the best show on
Speaker 2: a means of communicating that will soon not exist. According
Speaker 2: to the body of your emails, sir, moving along. Oh,
Speaker 2: this is pretty good, observation, ed Wright. Another sure sign
Speaker 2: of climate change, the climate not changing. The national media
Speaker 2: is pushing the heat dome story. That would be the
Speaker 2: life threatening heat dome. Ad do we have the life
Speaker 2: threatening heat dome? Slyly threatening healt dome?
Speaker 1: Good stuff.
Speaker 2: Let's see they're Oh, so they're pushing the heat dome
Speaker 2: story is another sign of climate change, without mentioning anything
Speaker 2: that doesn't support the narrative. For instance, San Francisco has
Speaker 2: had having the coldest summer in decades and decades apparently.
Speaker 1: But see, the scam is better than that. It's cleverer
Speaker 1: than that. Ed.
Speaker 2: They'll just say, Yeah, the the high pressure zone that's
Speaker 2: pushed or the low pressure zone that's kept, the high
Speaker 2: pressure zone displaced over the coast is a product of
Speaker 2: global climate change. Yeah, and so that's the beauty of
Speaker 2: the term climate change. It can be used to explain everything,
Speaker 2: including stability the thing.
Speaker 1: But we've pointed this out before.
Speaker 3: If there's going to be climate change, some places are
Speaker 3: going to be worse, some places are going to be better.
Speaker 3: If this is climate change for where I live, bring
Speaker 3: it on. I'm taking the exhaust pipe off of my
Speaker 3: diesel truck to bring on more climate change because this.
Speaker 2: Is awesome, right exactly, But you could you could say, yeah,
Speaker 2: the weather has been very, very stable for the last
Speaker 2: two years. That's another example of climate change that never
Speaker 2: used to happen. Therefore, we need trillions of dollars. See
Speaker 2: that's where a skeptical person would say, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, wait a minute, why do we need
Speaker 2: trillions of dollars and will it do any good? But
Speaker 2: most people never ask that question anyway. How much time
Speaker 2: do we have, Michael, not very much? Huh twenty five seconds?
Speaker 1: Well spent. Yeah, I don't really have time for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it happens. We've teased some really great things for
Speaker 1: hour two.
Speaker 3: Man, it's too bad you listened to our one because
Speaker 3: our two is going to be really good.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can't wait. Award Winner.
Speaker 3: If you have business segment, get the podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 3: Getty on demand and it is on the way.
