Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and get.
Speaker 2: Cake and he.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty an important youth sports question. We'll let
Speaker 1: Joe Getty be the judge coming up? Do I have to.
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: You could just say eh, I don't know. It doesn't
Speaker 1: sound very entertaining. I see your point. I will be
Speaker 1: the judge.
Speaker 4: A lot of good stuff to squeeze into the final
Speaker 4: hour of the week. But first, it's the Friday tradition.
Speaker 4: Take a fun look back at the week that was.
Speaker 4: It's cow clips of the week, Clips of.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 5: We have breaking news as we come on the air.
Speaker 5: Ozzy Osbourne has died.
Speaker 1: Scottish Shup has his Open championship, so please you well again.
Speaker 5: We hope it gets a little bit more competitive because
Speaker 5: like a girl.
Speaker 1: Trip to Cancun. Right now, there's no dame. Would an
Speaker 1: untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism.
Speaker 1: I still think about Kamala. I had to come back
Speaker 1: for the insurance because I'm they informed me earlier this year.
Speaker 1: I'm on Cobra, I'm as I am. There's someone that's
Speaker 1: been so focused on trying to understand all of that.
Speaker 1: Can a man become a woman? Can a man become
Speaker 1: a woman?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 1: No, thank you.
Speaker 5: Convicting killer Brian Coberger forced to face the families of
Speaker 5: his victims and a survivor.
Speaker 1: He chows destruction, he chows evil.
Speaker 5: In my view, the time has now calm to end
Speaker 5: mister Colberger's fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 6: You may received a's in high school and college, but
Speaker 6: you're going to be getting big d's in prison.
Speaker 1: Whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people.
Speaker 1: President Obama and his leadership team effectively launch a year's
Speaker 1: long coup against the sitting president of the United States.
Speaker 1: If you want to take a look at that and
Speaker 1: stop talking about nonsense.
Speaker 5: Attorney General Pambondi told President Trump that his name appears
Speaker 5: multiple times of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Speaker 7: Some Democrats are joining Republicans in Congress demanding the files
Speaker 7: be released.
Speaker 1: People ask me what's going to cost me politically, I say, well,
Speaker 1: share it is. How do you get correct? It's everywhere?
Speaker 1: Mainly for that reason, I learned how to make my
Speaker 1: own I know exactly what happened in that debate, she's
Speaker 1: tired of give him ambient to be able to sleep. You,
Speaker 1: how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
Speaker 1: do you think you got food on your table? The
Speaker 1: crack is whack.
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of quick things before Joe's hot take
Speaker 1: on youth sports one, and I'm not going to talk
Speaker 1: about Epstein anymore today. Nobody can make me other than
Speaker 1: what I'm about to say. Mark Halprin put out a
Speaker 1: video today which I will watch. He says in my
Speaker 1: reported monologue, I break down why the Trump Epstein scandal
Speaker 1: might be the most politically dangerous controversy Trump has ever faced. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to hear him explain that because I don't
Speaker 1: get it, So stay tuned for that. I saw this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I didn't listen Hulk Hogan's cardiac arrest nine to one
Speaker 1: one dispatch audio came out. I hate that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: I understand why transparency is good with government agencies, but
Speaker 1: that's not the way it's used. It's used for celebrities
Speaker 1: and just yeah, I get it. It's it's a public
Speaker 1: record and we're the public. But it's distasteful. Yeah, not cool. Okay,
Speaker 1: this so a they're in the Little League World Series time.
Speaker 1: I guess the little kids playing little kids kid hit
Speaker 1: a home run the other day, flipped a bat, got suspended,
Speaker 1: and that's I guess that's become a problem nationwide, not
Speaker 1: just this one kid who they reinstated, which I think
Speaker 1: might be just because he's such a good player and
Speaker 1: they need which happens also at all levels of sport.
Speaker 1: But what do you think about bat flipping for kids?
Speaker 1: Because in Japan, for instance, you hit a home run,
Speaker 1: you flipped the bat. It's kind of an art form
Speaker 1: and people love it. Nature and the United States we've
Speaker 1: frowned upon it for many, many years. It's seen it
Speaker 1: as showboating, although it seems kind of crazy the way
Speaker 1: all sports are now that we have any limits on showboating, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would agree.
Speaker 4: I've got to get over my learned and long held
Speaker 4: belief in not showboating because I was brought up to
Speaker 4: not do that.
Speaker 1: I hated people who did that.
Speaker 4: I thought it was dumb, unnecessarily like look at me,
Speaker 4: look at me, look at me. You just hit a
Speaker 4: home run. Everybody is looking at you. You don't have
Speaker 4: to do a dance. So my personal distaste for it.
Speaker 4: I will put aside because I am like that little
Speaker 4: solomonic in my wisdom.
Speaker 1: And you're also old that too.
Speaker 8: Ah.
Speaker 4: You could make a safety argument because the rules of
Speaker 4: baseball make it very clear you have one option with
Speaker 4: your bat, that is to drop it, to have it
Speaker 4: no longer be in your hand as quickly as possible
Speaker 4: before you run to first base, before.
Speaker 1: You do anything right, So you could make that argue.
Speaker 1: I get that, But the controversy is mostly around we
Speaker 1: want the show voting or not. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you when my son was playing youth football, because it's
Speaker 1: just it's just the zeitgeist. It's not good. I don't
Speaker 1: like it, but I don't see how you're gonna stop
Speaker 1: it because the pros do it, and the kids watch
Speaker 1: the pros, and it's a TV show, a for profit
Speaker 1: TV show, and the TV show is better when they
Speaker 1: show boat.
Speaker 2: It just is.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just is. But all the kids, young kids.
Speaker 1: My son was what was he ten at the time.
Speaker 6: Every play, every mundane play, there'd be the you know,
Speaker 6: pop in the jersey and high five and the chest
Speaker 6: bumps and the ooh flex and just every play that
Speaker 6: was like half.
Speaker 1: The fun of being in sports, it seemed was the.
Speaker 4: After It's like, okay, yeah, I really dislike the trend.
Speaker 4: But the kids didn't come up with this. Again, they're
Speaker 4: imitating their heroes, you know what. I think this is
Speaker 4: the sort of thing that works itself out if the
Speaker 4: it reminds me of the great I wish, I wish
Speaker 4: I was as good as like Tim Sanderfort, remembering sayings
Speaker 4: and who said them. But the idea that if if
Speaker 4: the people have the Constitution in their hearts, there's nothing
Speaker 4: that can take the Constitution away. And if the people
Speaker 4: don't have the Constitution in their hearts, there's no defense
Speaker 4: of it. So if the people, the players, the coaches,
Speaker 4: the fans are like, there's nothing wrong with flipping the bat,
Speaker 4: the bat flipping will come and become, you know, semi permanent.
Speaker 4: If if the consensus is now we don't like this
Speaker 4: or it's unsafe.
Speaker 1: Or whatever, it'll go away. Well now, let me sound
Speaker 1: like old school nineties talk radio conservative. Oh god, we're
Speaker 1: not going to take calls, aren't I. But there's no
Speaker 1: doubt the whole show boating thing is a selfish act.
Speaker 1: It's a hey, look at me, look at me, Look
Speaker 1: at me, and as a whole, is society more selfish
Speaker 1: now or less selfish now? Oh yeah, vastly more selfish,
Speaker 1: more selfish?
Speaker 3: And and.
Speaker 1: Kids frequently when you ask them their greatest goals, they
Speaker 1: say to be famous.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even more than rich. They want to be famous,
Speaker 4: and that this feeds into that tendency. I just think,
Speaker 4: you know, it's such an enormous societal trend. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to stop it through forbidding the bat flip, but
Speaker 4: I could easily be convinced, no, there's no positives here
Speaker 4: to have young kids flipping ball bats around.
Speaker 1: It hits somebody in the head. Now drop the bat
Speaker 1: and run to the base. Quick political thing before we
Speaker 1: take a break. I found this funny. So the DNC,
Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee, is doing an autopsy on the
Speaker 1: nast last election. This is what parties do after they
Speaker 1: get their asses kicked. They do what they call an autopsy,
Speaker 1: which seems like an overly grim term to use for
Speaker 1: an assessment of why you.
Speaker 4: I would say, given the state of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 4: it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1: It's dead. What did to die of? But this is
Speaker 1: the funny part. Well, I was about to go off
Speaker 1: on this tangent I'll do the tangent first before I
Speaker 1: get to the funny part. The tangent being the most
Speaker 1: famous political autopsy. I think the first time anybody ever
Speaker 1: heard the term was after Mitt Romney lost in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: The Republican Party did an autopsy every single thing they
Speaker 1: determined in the twenty twelve autopsy. Trump did the opposite
Speaker 1: of and won two terms. So so much on the.
Speaker 4: Notable example of the Republicans decided we need to go
Speaker 4: softer on immigration, much softer, and not only did Trump
Speaker 4: go in the opposite direction, but he won the Hispanic
Speaker 4: vote in the way Republicans never have so nice autops.
Speaker 1: Part of that is because parties and committees just want
Speaker 1: to win the election. They don't care about actually satisfying voters.
Speaker 1: If they can satisfy voters and to win election, that's
Speaker 1: just that's fantastic, but right. But the DNC said off
Speaker 1: limits to the autopsy. Autopsy is reviewing whether Biden should
Speaker 1: have stepped down earlier or not, or whether Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: was a good candidate.
Speaker 4: The one thing we're not going to consider is whether
Speaker 4: those thirty two gunshot wounds played a role in the
Speaker 4: patient's death. That's off limits. Looks a little sad to me.
Speaker 4: Why don't he say he died because he was fat?
Speaker 1: How funny is that? I know, it's it's beyond funny,
Speaker 1: it's bizarre. You can't even imagine what they're thinking.
Speaker 4: I mean, I get that that's not likely to happen again,
Speaker 4: but it's like, you know, getting back to sports, if
Speaker 4: you have a pretty damn good idea why you lost
Speaker 4: a game or why something went wrong, you don't blow
Speaker 4: everything up.
Speaker 1: Because you don't want to undo everything.
Speaker 6: That was right.
Speaker 1: So wait a minute.
Speaker 4: Now, if, for instance, the Democratic Party and I do
Speaker 4: not believe this, trust me was doing more or less
Speaker 4: everything right, but Joe Biden's brain took a downturn, Kamala
Speaker 4: seemed like the obvious choice. We're in a hurry, so
Speaker 4: we went with her. It turns out she's a dud
Speaker 4: as a candidate. I mean that that's clearly true. But
Speaker 4: but to ignore that and say, let's just take a
Speaker 4: part or examine everything else we're doing, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get that. Why are you bothering? So Joe
Speaker 1: was regaling us with an amazing story last hour about
Speaker 1: pilots crashing planes on purpose, which seems to happen more
Speaker 1: often than we thought big commercial airlines. I would have
Speaker 1: thought that might happen once every fifty years, but it
Speaker 1: happened a number of times in recent years around the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's some talk about what we can do about that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: automated planes ought to be way easier than cars. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start walking in, you know, and you're walking in
Speaker 1: the little doorway, and you're waiting for people to get
Speaker 1: to the seats and the pilots saying, hey, hey, how's
Speaker 1: it going. How you doing? You're having a good das
Speaker 1: they are a bad day. How's your marriage? How's your career? No,
Speaker 1: when I say how you doing? I really really want
Speaker 1: to know in depth. Huh you and your wife still
Speaker 1: getting along?
Speaker 4: If you were to describe life in say, two or
Speaker 4: three words, what would those words be?
Speaker 1: No kidding, Okay, we'll get to that coming up.
Speaker 3: You really don't want to splitch your audience. You know,
Speaker 3: you don't want to say I'm a Democrat or I'm
Speaker 3: a Republican. You are all kinds of people come to
Speaker 3: see you for form. I stayed silent for so long
Speaker 3: it was killing me. I watched the border crash and burn.
Speaker 3: I watched the economy crash and burn. I watched Trump's
Speaker 3: family be compromised. I watched his business. I watched him
Speaker 3: try to put him in jail.
Speaker 1: I was silent and I hardly could hold my tongue.
Speaker 3: And then when they took that shot at him and
Speaker 3: tried to kill our leader, that was it for me.
Speaker 1: Brother, that's the man who played the character of Hulk
Speaker 1: Hogan in his real voice and attitude, clearly a conservative
Speaker 1: and why he joined the whole let's get Trump elected crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and gave that surreal and electrifying speech at the convention.
Speaker 1: That was quite a moment. Finally came across an article
Speaker 1: in The New York Post that mentioned his lifelong steroid
Speaker 1: use in contributing to his health problems, because seventy one
Speaker 1: is not that old for a guy who's obviously into
Speaker 1: physical fitness.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, clearly, Yeah, that stole years from his life.
Speaker 4: Interesting if you could talk to him in the afterlife,
Speaker 4: I wonder what he would say about the bargain he struck.
Speaker 1: I bet he was okay with it. It's one of
Speaker 1: the most famous people in the world. That'd be a
Speaker 1: pretty cool ride.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but when your heart is skipping beats, you might think, well,
Speaker 4: who knows, that's why he's Well, he's not here, we
Speaker 4: can't ask him. So talked a little earlier about pilot's suicide,
Speaker 4: essentially where they take the plane down with them.
Speaker 1: I like call it mass murder. You did at one point.
Speaker 1: Let's lean away from the suicide and toward that you're
Speaker 1: a mass murderer, you scumbag, right, a suicidal mass murderer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think both are worthy of mentioning. But anyway,
Speaker 4: and how the third world countries including China feel like
Speaker 4: they have to deny it, which was an interesting aspect
Speaker 4: of this, whereas the Western democracies are like, no, that's
Speaker 4: what happened.
Speaker 1: A couple of notes. First of all, a friend of.
Speaker 4: Mine who's knowledgeable about this stuff, says, it's usually the
Speaker 4: systems or the processes that let the pilot down, not
Speaker 4: the pilot's fault. He's talking about a book that claims
Speaker 4: it's easy to blame it on the pilot instead of
Speaker 4: digging much deeper into what actually caused the accident with
Speaker 4: the systems. This editorialist I'm writing I'm reading over here says, actually,
Speaker 4: frequently if the pilots would have gotten out of the
Speaker 4: way and let the airplane do what it was supposed
Speaker 4: to do. So he's saying, yes, it is pilot air
Speaker 4: I am not an authority on this, but he gets
Speaker 4: into it really interesting thought, which is the fact that
Speaker 4: having a pilotless airplane in the style of a driverless car,
Speaker 4: what are your autonomous car, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 4: it'd be way simpler with airplanes because the hazards and
Speaker 4: complexity of driving along in traffic are way worse than
Speaker 4: go along the runway, you know, accelerate, go aloft, hit
Speaker 4: thirty thousand and feet then land in Omaha, there aren't
Speaker 4: nearly the.
Speaker 1: Hazards to avoid. I think we got to end. There
Speaker 1: could be active ground control when it was necessary. Oh true.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have the same psychological problem, though,
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how we receive this, because
Speaker 1: it's going to happen over the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: I think there'll be cars out there driving on their own.
Speaker 1: Occasionally they're going to make a mistake and kill people.
Speaker 1: But so if if everybody was an automatic driving car,
Speaker 1: but highway deads went from the current thirty five thousand
Speaker 1: a year to five thousand a year. Would that be
Speaker 1: would we all just celebrate the win? Or doesn't that
Speaker 1: seem extra weird and awful? If a computer driving car
Speaker 1: kills you.
Speaker 4: And they're going back to people driving, because this is
Speaker 4: obviously not good picture loved one?
Speaker 1: You know, horrible's that'd be your loved one dies in
Speaker 1: a car that was being driven automatically. Doesn't that seem
Speaker 1: sort of worse than if it was their error? I
Speaker 1: don't know why.
Speaker 4: I see what you're driving at and how difficult it
Speaker 4: would to get people to trust it, especially if you
Speaker 4: can surround a waym and make it stop. What the
Speaker 4: unforeseen airplane you know, similar incident?
Speaker 1: Is there? Well? Switching gears?
Speaker 7: I saw that Miller Light is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 7: by offering fifty thousand free beers at bars across the country.
Speaker 1: Oh, people are running up to the bar.
Speaker 7: Like, can I get a Budwise, don't have to be
Speaker 7: fifty thousand Miller Lights, which is about the number you
Speaker 7: need to feel anything.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, just shots of light beers. Jimmy fallon a big
Speaker 1: drinker with that one, because he's a no fairly big drinker.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a funny joke, you know, now
Speaker 1: that you mentioned it, I had forgotten the given his
Speaker 1: lifestyle I mentioned earlier. Today is the sixtieth anniversary of what.
Speaker 1: The sixtieth anniversary it will featured a major oscar winning
Speaker 1: a Hollywood film last year, Bob Dylan went electric sixty
Speaker 1: years ago today to booze and craziness and mayhem and
Speaker 1: left the stage after only three songs because the crowd
Speaker 1: went berzerko.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I never thought about this too. I read the commentary
Speaker 1: magazine piece about it. The the the important part about
Speaker 1: that was not musically whatever, but the fact that he
Speaker 1: broke with the hippies. He didn't give a crap. I
Speaker 1: don't care about I'm not I'm not here to be
Speaker 1: your hippie leader. That's not That's not what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: You think it wasn't what I'm socialist is?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: One of the takeaways from the bio pic of recent
Speaker 1: days too. Yeah, Pete Zieger, the banjo player and everybody
Speaker 1: else wanted to be part of the hippie socialist movement,
Speaker 1: and he just wasn't interested in that whole thing. Glad
Speaker 1: you liked my songs and you're using him however you
Speaker 1: want to use them. But I'm not into your hippie things.
Speaker 1: Because if he had continued down, if he'd done like
Speaker 1: a lot of artists do, and if this is what
Speaker 1: the crowd wants, this is, I'm going to give him
Speaker 1: more of it, that would have just made it even
Speaker 1: more powerful and more annoying. Right, if any continuing down
Speaker 1: that path, right break? I don't think he had the
Speaker 1: capacity to do that. Honestly, No, he's not made that well, no,
Speaker 1: definitely not. Yeah, so if you haven't seen that movie,
Speaker 1: it's really good. What was the other thing I wanted
Speaker 1: to mention? And I remember, I don't know. I want
Speaker 1: the week to be over. Is there any chance we
Speaker 1: can come back next week and the E word is
Speaker 1: not part of the show. I suppose there's no chance
Speaker 1: of that, right, I can tell you how.
Speaker 4: To end it, you mean for us or just just
Speaker 4: now the Trump administration, because the FBI is the Justice
Speaker 4: Department have already made detailed statements about it that no
Speaker 4: further disclosure is appropriate. Sent set of information relating to
Speaker 4: the victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific
Speaker 4: details They go on in quite some you know, you
Speaker 4: know specificity. Who is this writing doesn't matter, says If
Speaker 4: miss Bondi and mister Patel are now telling the truth
Speaker 4: about the contents of the Epstein files, then what's needed
Speaker 4: are officials who will take the responsibility then take the
Speaker 4: heat for declining to publish documents that could hurt victims
Speaker 4: and ruin reputations.
Speaker 1: Without a criminal case.
Speaker 4: They point out, a Bill Barr type, wouldn't it given
Speaker 4: a crap what the angry mob thought.
Speaker 1: He just said, no, we can't do this.
Speaker 4: And these are the reasons why the problem is that
Speaker 4: Bondi and Cash Pattel are to some extent a creation
Speaker 4: of the very crowd that's now yelling about the Epstein thing.
Speaker 4: And they fed into that creation too by egging on
Speaker 4: the crowd. So they're the wrong people to say, look,
Speaker 4: I know you don't like it, but this is the
Speaker 4: right thing and that's what we're doing some but he
Speaker 4: needs to say that and say exactly.
Speaker 1: Why Dylan only played three songs? What were the three songs?
Speaker 1: If you've seen the movie, you know he played Maggie's Farm,
Speaker 1: he played like at a da Vida, He played like
Speaker 1: a Rolling Stone, which is my son's favorite song, and
Speaker 1: He played an early version of it takes a lot
Speaker 1: to laugh, It takes a train to cry, which is
Speaker 1: an awesome tune. I just want to be your lover, baby,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be your boss. Heard that? Why
Speaker 1: do you think? Mark Halpern, in his newscast today, I'm
Speaker 1: going to watch it later said this is the most
Speaker 1: the biggest vulnerability Trump has ever had in his presidency,
Speaker 1: in his political life. Thesteis I suspect slash predict and
Speaker 1: I would love to follow up with you over the weekend.
Speaker 1: That it is because he will lose the incredibly energetic
Speaker 1: popular support that has fueled the whole tree from a machine.
Speaker 4: That he will actually have shot somebody on Fifth Avenue
Speaker 4: to paraphrase Trump himself, but the base will say no,
Speaker 4: not cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he shot somebody to maga hat on Fifth Street,
Speaker 1: which is different. Get out of my way and shut
Speaker 1: him down. Yeah, that fits in with So today's Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal poll that's out and that's one of your
Speaker 1: respected polling organizations. They have Trump a little higher than
Speaker 1: a couple of big polls have had him in the
Speaker 1: last week. They have him at forty six percent, forty
Speaker 1: six percent job approval rating and as they point out,
Speaker 1: that's with a number of his policies not that popular
Speaker 1: right now. This is Obama like where Obama's policies would
Speaker 1: pull fairly low, but his personal approof rating would be
Speaker 1: pretty high, even though by the way, Trump at forty six.
Speaker 1: Obama was at forty at this point in his presidency.
Speaker 1: He ended higher, but he was at forty at this point. Well,
Speaker 1: Trump is at forty six. Yeah, I was gonna say
Speaker 1: forty six pretty healthy. Yeah, heck yeah, heck yeah, you'd
Speaker 1: take that any day. But as they point out, he's
Speaker 1: got an almost ninety percent of Republican voters approving of
Speaker 1: the performance. Historically, that doesn't happen even Ronald Reagan was
Speaker 1: in the seventies. We didn't. We just didn't used to
Speaker 1: be this way. So Trump, to your point about the
Speaker 1: Epstein thing, at ninety percent of the Republican voters, if
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of those are super hardcore mega and
Speaker 1: they believed, you know, the story about Epstein being one
Speaker 1: of the goals of the second Trump administration, and they
Speaker 1: feel like fu I could.
Speaker 4: Drop off quite a bit pretty fast. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 4: that's my only guess what Halford's talking about. Because in
Speaker 4: terms of actual political significance, there.
Speaker 1: Isn't no, there's zero political significance. I mean from a
Speaker 1: real policy standpoint or affecting people's lives, yeah standpoint. Yeah
Speaker 1: A speaking of which, and I'll keep.
Speaker 4: This short, but I still think speaking of popularity, in
Speaker 4: spite of the unpopularity of of policies, the tariff thing
Speaker 4: has yet to actually land, and when it does.
Speaker 1: Popular of the ones that they pull, but all exact right,
Speaker 1: don't think I hung up hung onto that one. That
Speaker 1: one's really unpopular. Let me dig that up real quick
Speaker 1: while you're taking Yeah, just let me know when you
Speaker 1: have that.
Speaker 4: But and this is this is worth listening to Trump's
Speaker 4: various trade wars thing and then individual deals with individual
Speaker 4: countries and blah blah blah. Trump trying to discourage auto
Speaker 4: parts for American cars being built in Mexico and Canada,
Speaker 4: imposed a twenty five percent tariff on autos and parts. Okay,
Speaker 4: he just came to a trade deal with the Japanese.
Speaker 4: They will pay a tariff of fifteen percent. So, because
Speaker 4: American auto plants rely heavily on parts from Canada and Mexico,
Speaker 4: the tariffs on American made American cars could be higher
Speaker 4: than on Japanese imports and European cars depending on what
Speaker 4: has worked out there. We would have higher tariffs on
Speaker 4: American made cars than Japanese cars because we tend to
Speaker 4: have parts factories on the other sides of the border.
Speaker 4: What does an American made car mean, Joe? In that case,
Speaker 4: it's a reasonable question. But the UAW is freaking out
Speaker 4: and they are pissed, as they should be. This is
Speaker 4: not what Sean Fain was open for when he threw
Speaker 4: his lot in with Trump by not endorsing Biden.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Yeah, Trump say upside down seventeen points on tariffs,
Speaker 1: and that's as you say before they've really hit Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's also pretty chaotic. What are people even upset about.
Speaker 1: It's got to be the feeling that I'm not sure
Speaker 1: this is going to work out? Well, what if it
Speaker 1: actually doesn't work out? Like you've got the proof in
Speaker 1: front of you. I'll give you the crazy short version
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 4: Peggy Noon and Brilliant that had article about Trump and
Speaker 4: what makes him tick, and I think she's absolutely right.
Speaker 1: And again this is the crazy short version of it.
Speaker 1: Is he just loves being in a fight.
Speaker 4: He likes to fight guy, as radio host Jim Rome
Speaker 4: used to talk about the guy who likes to go
Speaker 4: out to the bars and he wants to get in
Speaker 4: a fight. Trump loves conflict and particularly and that explains
Speaker 4: a lot of what he does and a lot of
Speaker 4: who he is. And like the tariff thing, he's not
Speaker 4: worried that it's probably damaging or too chaotic, or doing
Speaker 4: more harm than it's worth with it.
Speaker 1: Like our closest friends, he just loves being in a scrape.
Speaker 1: The Big Beautiful Bill does not pull particularly well. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that matters at all. Do you call
Speaker 1: it a legislative achievement if it doesn't pull very well
Speaker 1: like right after it happened, although Obamacare pulled horribly for
Speaker 1: a long time and then became just everybody got used
Speaker 1: to it and now polls fairly well.
Speaker 4: When you combine the complexity of the bill, the Big
Speaker 4: Beautiful Bill, and the misreporting of it, and the misperceptions
Speaker 4: people have of what was in it, oh well, and
Speaker 4: the enormousness of it, I don't know a tenth of
Speaker 4: what's in it.
Speaker 1: It's difficult for me to answer that question. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to make of any of it. I don't
Speaker 1: remember which. One of my favorite reporters said this was
Speaker 1: when the right, when they were voting on it, said
Speaker 1: you could walk through halls of Congress and you'd be
Speaker 1: lucky if you found anybody that could name five things
Speaker 1: that are in the bill. If the people who voted
Speaker 1: for it don't know didn't know what was in it,
Speaker 1: what's the average human being across America be able to
Speaker 1: tell you about the big beautiful bill. The only thing
Speaker 1: I could really tell you is that the Trump tax
Speaker 1: cuts from twenty seventeen continued. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: got much else than that they were all back some
Speaker 1: of the Green New Deal stuff. They kicked some people
Speaker 1: off Medicaid kinda.
Speaker 4: Well in professional politicos would tell you none of that
Speaker 4: crap matters that you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1: The Only thing that matters is the perception in the
Speaker 1: poll numbers.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: That's how we make our living, That's how we get
Speaker 4: people to vote, and that's how we get power.
Speaker 1: So I don't care what was in it.
Speaker 4: If it was the worst steaming pile of excrement ever
Speaker 4: generated by any legislative body in the history of mankind,
Speaker 4: but it polled, well.
Speaker 1: That's a win. Sure, it's a legislative achievement. Isn't that nice?
Speaker 1: Well that's a good Friday story. Well, democracy doesn't work, clearly,
Speaker 1: We'll finish strong. Next.
Speaker 5: The grandmother and army veteran restraining a woman allegedly trying
Speaker 5: to storm the cock that had happened on the Delta
Speaker 5: flight from Atlanta to Tucson. It happened about twenty minutes
Speaker 5: into the flight. The pilot were turning to Atlanta where
Speaker 5: authorities were waiting.
Speaker 1: Well, okayse she was a grandmother who restrained out of
Speaker 1: control passenger, which is a nice But was she like
Speaker 1: thirty five? I VISI on those kind of grandmas. I mean,
Speaker 1: cause you're kind of implying that she was old, but
Speaker 1: she's right. I'm guessing she wasn't as old as the
Speaker 1: normal grandmother. I think she was younger. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have a clip of the woman that I pulled yesterday.
Speaker 8: Okay, she didn't want to be on the plane anymore,
Speaker 8: she said God told her to do it. She had
Speaker 8: a call in and I'm just like, wait a minute,
Speaker 8: I don't know about this conversation you got going on,
Speaker 8: but not today. Nobody else was doing nothing, so I
Speaker 8: just literally knew I had to do something. I got
Speaker 8: to make it home to my kids, my children, you,
Speaker 8: my grandchildren.
Speaker 1: Yeah cool, not today, and nobody else is doing anything,
Speaker 1: so I guess I will where to go, sister, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to be done. Was I having a conversation
Speaker 1: with some of the other day, a woman who was
Speaker 1: around fifty about how fifty year olds are so much
Speaker 1: different than fifty year olds years ago, using the example
Speaker 1: of Aunt B from the Andy Griffith Show, was like
Speaker 1: fifty four. I mean that was the age she said,
Speaker 1: is the character? So so there's plenty of women that
Speaker 1: aren't looking like Aunt Be at that age anyway, right, Yeah, Katie,
Speaker 1: this grandmother is a whopping twenty six years old. Twenty
Speaker 1: six year old grandmother.
Speaker 4: That's almost number one. Where does David mu Or get
Speaker 4: off describing her as a grandmother?
Speaker 1: That's weak? So two thirteen year old had babies? If
Speaker 1: the math is mathing on the average jack yet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for verifying my difficult math complexity there. Yes,
Speaker 1: we've checked the figures. But yeah, okay, come on, David,
Speaker 1: that was the truth that tells a lie. You were
Speaker 1: factually truth but true, But that was a lie, and
Speaker 1: you know it was a lie. Come on, yeah, she's
Speaker 1: twenty six. A twenty six year old woman restrained somebody
Speaker 1: on a plane is not as good as story. It's
Speaker 1: still kind of interesting. You couldn't even gone twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six year old army veteran, that's fine. But grandma, grandmother,
Speaker 1: punk da, that's funny. In my mind, there's like a
Speaker 1: shawl and the little glasses down on the nose. Throw
Speaker 1: a few young people, help rescue this flight. Beating him
Speaker 1: with a cane riding exact play. Six freaking years old.
Speaker 4: She you know, by modern standards, I had my kids
Speaker 4: fairly young. I was a year older than her when
Speaker 4: we had our first kid, right, and she's a grandma
Speaker 4: at this point. All right, that's that's probably.
Speaker 1: Push over to the ground with your walker and you
Speaker 1: get your big black orthopedic shoes. You're stomping on their faces.
Speaker 1: Stop doing that. Sitting here with an old timey burse
Speaker 1: throwing hard candy at her, throw hard candy at him.
Speaker 1: Her dentures fly out in the midst of it all.
Speaker 1: Twenty six you say, I'll give it to you like
Speaker 1: he gave it to the Kaiser and w W one
Speaker 1: she's not even thirty, threw her soup on the guy,
Speaker 1: David Muir, you lying professional, liar bastards. I haven't been
Speaker 1: go ahead, sorry about little under a minute.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna say, I haven't gone real heavy
Speaker 4: on the whole reforming the university's thing lately.
Speaker 1: A couple of good signs. Columbia University, who was among
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst, actually disciplined at least seventy
Speaker 1: of the students who took part in that library takeover.
Speaker 1: I hope they voted a lot of them out of school?
Speaker 1: Did they put them completely? And I saw suspended suspended
Speaker 1: was that well?
Speaker 4: And Columbia has a history of reversing certain sanctions against schools.
Speaker 4: So my point was going to be, yeah, let's keep
Speaker 4: an eye on this, because those scheming Marxists the first
Speaker 4: thing they do is say absolutely yes, we've we've suspended everybody.
Speaker 4: We've kicked fifteen people out, and.
Speaker 1: As soon as the cameras go away, they reinstate all
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: I will also say this George Mason University, which I
Speaker 4: would only be paying attention to because one of my
Speaker 4: kids went there, and it's actually the biggest university in
Speaker 4: the University of Virginia system. Their Marxist president is finally
Speaker 4: coming under fire for still doing DEI stuff, inflaming violation
Speaker 4: of federal law. Progress is being made, my friends. Let's
Speaker 4: keep up the good fight.
Speaker 1: Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4: Hey, how about a final thought from everybody on the
Speaker 4: crew to wrap things up for the week. There he is,
Speaker 4: Michael Angelo, pressing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yesterday I tried to rip a T shirt like
Speaker 1: Haul Cogan, you know, and I felt something pop in
Speaker 1: my back and so it didn't go real well, the
Speaker 1: shirt had stayed and yeah, not good.
Speaker 4: Oh how lovely to have our esteemed news woman Katie
Speaker 4: Green back with us. Katie final thought, It.

Speaker 1: in your thirty minute newscast? You lying up? Oh, I
Speaker 1: have no respect for you. So Katie, you'll totally get
Speaker 1: this high five.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: I was thinking about what I could do with the
Speaker 4: rest of my day, and I thought I could go
Speaker 4: to the gym and instead of a two.
Speaker 1: But crap. My emotional response is, oh, that would be cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I've turned a corner. Oh, I've got the habit.
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, if you can make it a habit,
Speaker 1: I feel bad if I can't get to the gym.
Speaker 1: That's opposed to the other way around. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: If I have a day that I don't do something exercisey,
Speaker 4: it weirds me out with it.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: It's that I'm better than anybody folks. Trust me, as
Speaker 4: Jack taught me. Habits are hard to break. Good ones too.
