Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong.
Speaker 2: And Jetty and know He Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3: It is believed that those Weymos were summoned or booked
Speaker 3: by the protesters.
Speaker 4: With the intention of them getting them to the location
Speaker 4: and torching them.
Speaker 2: My god, how dare you?
Speaker 5: How could you use Waymo's innocence and helpful spirit against
Speaker 5: the Weymo. Imagine for a moment Waimo's disappointment upon realizing
Speaker 5: it was as Admiral Apbar might say, all trap you
Speaker 5: got Waimo going, Hello, it is my honor to take
Speaker 5: you to Hollywood, and what are you doing?
Speaker 2: My god, no, tell my room. I love her. Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, there's no humor to be found here.
Speaker 1: Rioting. That's funny, it's outrageous.
Speaker 6: Brian Stelter of CNN tweeted out or said, I guess
Speaker 6: it's on his Twitter.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: These protests, which have been abbreviated in the media is unrest,
Speaker 6: are actually a cry of hope and a reminder of
Speaker 6: the human need for community.
Speaker 2: Okay, he is you know what I've got to give him?
Speaker 1: Credit where it's due.
Speaker 3: He has raised the art of being a moron to
Speaker 3: a high level. I mean, he is almost exquisitely idiotic.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's more to this. I got to get the
Speaker 2: whole thing because.
Speaker 1: It's too good.
Speaker 2: Ring up quickly.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is.
Speaker 6: Too good because the original tweet and the response are
Speaker 6: getting a lot of attention, So Brian Stelter of CNN,
Speaker 6: these protests, which have been abbreviated in the media as
Speaker 6: unrest in quotes, were actually a cry of hope and
Speaker 6: a reminder of the human need for community, the need
Speaker 6: to turn to each other to find something to believe in.
Speaker 6: What a load of crab, to which someone responded this
Speaker 6: is all retweeted by Charles CW. Cook of National Review.
Speaker 6: Everyone's dunking on this, but it's a good point. I
Speaker 6: grew up in a small town with a lot of
Speaker 6: extended family, plus a good church community, and some of
Speaker 6: my fondest memories as a boy was when my grandpa,
Speaker 6: my dad, and his brothers in our local pastor and
Speaker 6: I would get together on a Friday night and go
Speaker 6: rob a liquor store. Wow, these protests are a cry
Speaker 6: of hope.
Speaker 2: And a reminder of the human need for community.
Speaker 3: CNN's longtime media critic Guy in the Eunuch Stelter.
Speaker 6: I know people like that who would agree with that.
Speaker 6: Fox are showing other spray painting. I think we had
Speaker 6: to clip the other day of some reporters saying, I'm
Speaker 6: downtown in la I can't see a single building that
Speaker 6: hasn't been vandalized, spray painted, or defaced in some other way.
Speaker 6: Who's gonna do pay for all that? Obviously taxpayers? Of course,
Speaker 6: why do we put up with this?
Speaker 3: And by the way, taxpayers, you're paying unionized employees to
Speaker 3: do all that, and their pensions and the rest of it.
Speaker 3: It'll be incredibly expensive. Yeah, so different topic. This is
Speaker 3: kind of interesting. I don't know where you are on
Speaker 3: Tulsi Gabbard. She's an interesting figure. She is the current
Speaker 3: what is Tulsa Gabbard Department of Oh she's the DNI,
Speaker 3: the Director of National Intelligence, a under the umbrella organization
Speaker 3: over all of our spooks.
Speaker 6: Anyway, she got some documents to classified from the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: This just broke today.
Speaker 6: The classified documents show that January sixth, which I think
Speaker 6: was a horror. I'm not I don't think that was
Speaker 6: a peaceful protest or some righteous cause.
Speaker 2: I think it was a horror. But January sixth.
Speaker 3: When the FBI did not instigate the violence, Please.
Speaker 6: But these documents show that January sixth was used by
Speaker 6: the Biden administration to vastly inflate domestic terror the terror
Speaker 6: threat by using all these numbers from one event as
Speaker 6: if it were happening nationwide and over a long period
Speaker 6: of time. Sixty one percent of alleged domestic terror cases
Speaker 6: investigated by the FBI in twenty two in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 6: and seventy eight percent of the alleged domestic terrorists in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: We're all that one riot. So he was able to
Speaker 2: use these statistics.
Speaker 6: We have a growing problem with right wing violence across
Speaker 6: this country. You know it's on the rise. Well, it's
Speaker 6: all one incident. You can't you don't get to claim
Speaker 6: that as a yearly statistic for it being on the
Speaker 6: rise when it's one incident.
Speaker 3: One infamous incident, to you know, condemn practically everyone.
Speaker 6: The artificial inflation of the domestic terrorism threat was revealed
Speaker 6: in the newly to classified intelligence records from early twenty
Speaker 6: twenty two made public by Telsea Gabbard recently.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah, blah blah. I want to get to
Speaker 2: the next part.
Speaker 6: The Biden administration had long been accused by conservatives and
Speaker 6: civil libertarians of dodging reality for four years, and he
Speaker 6: and his party made as much political capitalist possible out
Speaker 6: of the riot, calling it an insurrection.
Speaker 2: Which I actually think is close enough to.
Speaker 6: Truth, but using those statistics to do all kinds of things,
Speaker 6: and looking into various groups and all that, and just
Speaker 6: making the claim over and over and over again that
Speaker 6: right week violence is on the rise, right wing violence
Speaker 6: is the number with white supremacy is the number one
Speaker 6: threat in America, citing all these kind of statistics, which is,
Speaker 6: you know that whole Mark Twain thing, the three kinds
Speaker 6: of lies statistics. You hear a statistic, how often is
Speaker 6: it a lie or more mislay leading and leading a
Speaker 6: lot a lot.
Speaker 2: It's frustrating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 3: Hm. You know, I've been anxious to get this quote on.
Speaker 3: Let's say, Michael, give me clips sixty. This is Nancy
Speaker 3: Pelosi's take on the actual violence going on in the
Speaker 3: streets over and over again as we speak.
Speaker 7: She says the ongoing arrest in California of families and
Speaker 7: children obeying the law are evidence of a broader pattern
Speaker 7: of ICE's renegade behavior across the country. The resulting peaceful
Speaker 7: demonstrations against these actions are a manifestation of understandable fear
Speaker 7: in our communities.
Speaker 3: Okay, so there's Nancy Pelosi saying there are peaceful protests
Speaker 3: in LA because ICE is arresting children. Thank you for
Speaker 3: that fair description, Nancy. I've heard it go away, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 6: I'm surprised that she went with that, because she's pretty
Speaker 6: smart strategist. Most democratic strategists that aren't, you know, woke
Speaker 6: that I've seen are. We're on the wrong side of this.
Speaker 6: We're on the wrong side of this in general as
Speaker 6: an issue, and we're certainly on the wrong side of
Speaker 6: this tactically in terms of waving Mexican flags and throwing
Speaker 6: some min cops.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just think Nancy, because she's old and off her game,
Speaker 3: is still going with the playbook of the Great Oppression.
Speaker 3: We're trying to come up earlier in the show with
Speaker 3: a name for the five years roughly twenty nineteen through
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four or so, when the woke, super progressive
Speaker 3: ideas were on the march, and people were afraid to say, no,
Speaker 3: that's not a woman, that's a man, and afraid to
Speaker 3: say I don't think my kids should be indoctrinated in school.
Speaker 3: I think they should be taught to read, and afraid
Speaker 3: to say, yeah, what happened to George Floyd sucked? But
Speaker 3: you don't get to burn my city down. Nancy's still
Speaker 3: singing from that hymnal. She's still going with that playbook.
Speaker 3: I think these are rogue ice agents arresting innocent children,
Speaker 3: and all of America says, did you not see the
Speaker 3: pole during the campaign where two thirds of Americans said ship.
Speaker 2: Them all out?
Speaker 3: Apparently she missed that any Like Joe Biden, her aides
Speaker 3: were feeding her fake polls too.
Speaker 2: I got a good tease here.
Speaker 6: One one of my favorite pundit says, is the biggest
Speaker 6: story in the world that nobody is talking about.
Speaker 2: Can hit you with that coming up?
Speaker 3: Oh, plus KJP, Jack, you've been too easy on little KJP.
Speaker 3: She deserves a kicking rhetorically speaking, and she's gonna get
Speaker 3: it today. And Jack's muling and whining isn't gonna stop me. Folks,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let him stop me. Crying is blobbering,
Speaker 3: isnot running down? No, no, I will.
Speaker 1: Show no mercy.
Speaker 6: While we're on the subject, we're on the subject of
Speaker 6: the whole trance thing. The Aerosmith song from the eighties
Speaker 6: nineties lady dude looks like a lady? What is that
Speaker 6: song about? We were listening to Aerosmith in my car
Speaker 6: the other day and just came up A guy who
Speaker 6: dresses presents as a woman.
Speaker 2: But that was way.
Speaker 6: Before this sort of thing was popular. Why did they
Speaker 6: write a song about that? And he was he happy
Speaker 6: about that?
Speaker 3: Or I don't kind of understand the learn No, no, no, Indeed,
Speaker 3: it was the classic experience of thinking you're with a woman,
Speaker 3: interacting with a woman, then realizing, wait a minute, wait
Speaker 3: a second, you got a crank, the sort of thing.
Speaker 3: Who was the comedian who was it?
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy? Was worth a with a sex worker?
Speaker 3: Who whoever it was believed to be of the female persuasion,
Speaker 3: turned out not to be and may have committed in
Speaker 3: a well.
Speaker 6: Not Eddie Murphy. No, okay, I'm sure it wasn't. Who
Speaker 6: was that though? Was you know, Michael Good?
Speaker 1: Was it from the Partridge Family, the guy.
Speaker 6: Well, it happened to Danny Bonaducci. It happened to more
Speaker 6: than one person. This happened to many, a many of us.
Speaker 2: I'll think of that. You know, it's funny you should
Speaker 2: bring that up.
Speaker 3: Because the Aerosmith classic Sweet Emotion came on the other day,
Speaker 3: and and and Steven Tyler's line in that is some
Speaker 3: sweet talking gal with a face like a gent.
Speaker 1: Is he like he's got that on his mind? A
Speaker 1: fair amount.
Speaker 3: That's when I was dozens and dozens of songs, none
Speaker 3: of them reference the transgender community.
Speaker 2: If it happened.
Speaker 6: Multiple times, I would start to think, Yeah, it's kind
Speaker 6: of a top of mind issue for you. Maybe I
Speaker 6: need a screaming process. Okay, the most important story nobody's
Speaker 6: talking about. We don't have to dwell on it, but
Speaker 6: it's worth putting on your radar. Among other things on
Speaker 6: the way.
Speaker 8: The fast food chain KFC today launched a new Peaches
Speaker 8: and Cream Sweet Lightning drink, which features mountain dew Sweet
Speaker 8: Lightning soda with vanilla cream. And this is cool, It's
Speaker 8: base done. Doctor Kavorkian's original recipe.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a new KFC drink.
Speaker 3: Who or another US State about to go thumbs up
Speaker 3: with assistant suicide too. Speaking of doctor Kavorkian, we're talking
Speaker 3: about that another time.
Speaker 6: I do want to talk about that. We're gonna be
Speaker 6: all over the place's segment, got a lot of ground
Speaker 6: to cover.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to move swiftly. I just want to
Speaker 2: get this on.
Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom has doubled down on this tactic.
Speaker 2: I told the President just just get it over with.
Speaker 2: Arrest me, move on. If you need some head to scalp,
Speaker 2: do it with me, but stop messing with these kids.
Speaker 2: Haul yourself up on the cross there, Gabby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll be the new Nelson Mandela.
Speaker 3: That's exactly how this is gonna work out, you genius.
Speaker 2: You now.
Speaker 6: I saw Sean Spicer yesterday say nobody does indignation better
Speaker 6: than Gavin Newsom, and he was serious. So I thought, Okay,
Speaker 6: it comes off as flat to me, but yeah, maybe.
Speaker 3: Because we've been observing it for so long, he seemed
Speaker 3: to feel like he did a pretty good job with
Speaker 3: the indignation thing.
Speaker 2: You know, alessness has got to stop. What the hell
Speaker 2: is going on? You know that whole thing I did.
Speaker 2: I'm still choking it back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so, and I promised this. What is the
Speaker 6: biggest story in the world that nobody's talking about? According
Speaker 6: to Mark Alprin's newsletter today, US and Chinese officials resuming
Speaker 6: trade talks hoping to secure a breakthrough over export export
Speaker 6: controls for rare earths and other goods, is the most
Speaker 6: important thing happening on planet Earth that nobody.
Speaker 2: Is talking about, which, ye might be. I don't completely
Speaker 2: understand why, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think part of it is that it's so opaque.
Speaker 1: It's difficult.
Speaker 3: I mean, like Steve Whitcoff the other day said it's
Speaker 3: going well. Is he doing China? I can't remember who's
Speaker 3: ever doing China? The negotiations leading it was saying it's
Speaker 3: going very well.
Speaker 1: And is this or is it? Nobody knows. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what to say.
Speaker 2: And as we're all over the map.
Speaker 6: If it's Tuesday, you know it's time to dissect old
Speaker 6: Aerosmith lyrics. That's what we do every Tuesday here on
Speaker 6: the Armstrong in Getty show.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: We were talking about some.
Speaker 6: Lyrics from an Aarrowsmith song and Joe mentioned sweet Emotion
Speaker 6: and I was thinking about I listened to it the
Speaker 6: other day, and it's got the line in it. If
Speaker 6: you know the song or don't know the song about
Speaker 6: you can't blame me. The rabbit dun died, which I
Speaker 6: know from learning in school. I think in Greade school
Speaker 6: that that used to be a pregnancy test, and I
Speaker 6: was trying to explain it to my kids, but I
Speaker 6: didn't remember how it worked, and at the time I
Speaker 6: didn't chat GPT it, So I just chat gpt'ed it
Speaker 6: to be reminded of how this whole work thing worked. Now, Katie,
Speaker 6: you're trying to take the pregnancy trip right now. You know,
Speaker 6: back in the day, they didn't have a quick, easy
Speaker 6: test to see if you're pregnant. You couldn't just pee
Speaker 6: on a little thing you got at CVS, or you
Speaker 6: couldn't go get an ultrasound.
Speaker 2: I mean back in the day.
Speaker 6: Okay, So this is actually way back in the day,
Speaker 6: in the twenties through forties.
Speaker 2: This is the way you did it.
Speaker 6: A woman's urine was injected into a lot female rabbit.
Speaker 6: Oh if the woman was pregnant.
Speaker 1: What am I ditty?
Speaker 6: In this scenario, If the woman was pregnant, her urine
Speaker 6: would contain human cryonic Jana prunklin hCG, a hormone produced
Speaker 6: during pregnancy. After a few days, the rabbit would be
Speaker 6: dissected to examine its ovaries. If the ovaries showed certain changes,
Speaker 6: enlarged or bleeding, it meant the woman was pregnant. Important
Speaker 6: note it says here the phrase the rabbit died because
Speaker 6: I've heard that my whole life, in various ways, became
Speaker 6: slang for a positive pregnancy result. But the rabbit always
Speaker 6: died because it had to be dissected to check the ovaries,
Speaker 6: regardless of the result.
Speaker 3: And the rabbit's thinking, why don't you just wait a
Speaker 3: few weeks and see if she starts puking?
Speaker 2: Now that weird method aside, Well.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Katie, that was indelicate.
Speaker 6: I have to thank you for that oh much to
Speaker 6: look forward to all of us who are under the
Speaker 6: age of eighty five, I guess have gotten pregnant in
Speaker 6: the modern era, where you know, you got all this stuff,
Speaker 6: You got the easy tests, and then you got the uh,
Speaker 6: you get the what the thing where they put the
Speaker 6: thing on your belly with the goo on the ultrasound,
Speaker 6: you know, just thing.
Speaker 2: You get all this information.
Speaker 6: But it wasn't that long ago where you just I
Speaker 6: guess she starts to show or something, and you assume
Speaker 6: you're pregnant, and you don't have any idea if it's
Speaker 6: a boy or a girlfriend's health, they are no do
Speaker 6: date in mind? Probably maybe have a rough idea, but
Speaker 6: not very specific.
Speaker 1: Right, right, You just keep an eye on things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, never thought i'd feel grateful for my ability to
Speaker 3: pee on a stick. But after that story, yeah, very
Speaker 3: very indelicate way mister Armstrong put that, And I apologize
Speaker 3: for that as well.
Speaker 1: It's my own.
Speaker 6: I'm thinking this rabbit thing was something like the wealthy
Speaker 6: did and everybody else just waited. Everybody was injecting your
Speaker 6: into rabbits. Who said, why no, sounds like fun? Yeah,
Speaker 6: you're idea? Who came up with that? And is it
Speaker 6: only true for rabbits or would it be true for
Speaker 6: practically any beast?
Speaker 2: Why not use uh? I don't gophers or hamsters or beaver? Yeah? Yeah, beaver?
Speaker 1: What was the beta testing?
Speaker 2: Like you gotta go catch a beaver? What with the
Speaker 2: beta testing?
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 2: Right? Exactly?
Speaker 1: I got an idea.
Speaker 3: What if we took the ladies yura, Now don't stick
Speaker 3: with me here for a second, please, right, because you
Speaker 3: could have injected the saliva into a beaver or the
Speaker 3: you know, the blood into a.
Speaker 6: Squirrel, or just keep going and then and then check
Speaker 6: their pituitary gland.
Speaker 3: We leave our woodland creatures the hell alone and just
Speaker 3: wait till she starts to show.
Speaker 6: Checking the thyroid. Nothing here, Let's check its kidneys. Nope,
Speaker 6: how about it's ovaries? Oh wow, look they seem to
Speaker 6: be enlarged before the opossums run for their lives. Can
Speaker 6: we invent something.
Speaker 2: A little more?
Speaker 6: Anyway, we'll dissect more aeros aerosmith lyrics next Tuesday, as
Speaker 6: we always do here on the Armstring and Guindy show.
Speaker 1: Is rocks really about rocks? Join us?
Speaker 3: Then next segment, KJP comes in for the verbal tongue
Speaker 3: lashing she so richly deserves. Armstrong and Geeddy.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if there's any rioting left to do.
Speaker 6: There's still plenty of political points to be scored, rightly
Speaker 6: or wrongly, on both sides.
Speaker 2: Trump just said this from the Oval office.
Speaker 4: Last night was terrible. The night before that was terrible.
Speaker 4: We have as you seen it was on most of
Speaker 4: your networks, people with big heavy hammers pounding the concrete
Speaker 4: and pounding curves, pounding and breaking up both and handing
Speaker 4: these big chunks of concrete to people. And they would
Speaker 4: take you that concrete, going up in bridges and dropping
Speaker 4: it into the roof of a car. They were throwing
Speaker 4: it at our police. They were throwing it at our
Speaker 4: souls that are there. And we got it stopped and
Speaker 4: we have them in custody right now. Look, if we
Speaker 4: didn't get involved right now, Los Angeles would be burning,
Speaker 4: just like it was burning a number of months ago,
Speaker 4: with all the houses that were lost. Los Angeles right
Speaker 4: now would be on fire. And we have it in
Speaker 4: great shape. I'm not playing around.
Speaker 6: He goes on to bling Gavin Newsome for what's going
Speaker 6: on and says, these are outside agitators, which some of
Speaker 6: them are. We know that as Pam Bondi is trying
Speaker 6: to arrest one of the main cement chuckers who they
Speaker 6: identified yesterday, and I can't wait till they catch the
Speaker 6: guy to find out what groups.
Speaker 3: He's attached with. Yeah, no kidding, who is paying for it?
Speaker 3: Who is in this case not shipping bricks? But as
Speaker 3: the destructive capabilities are shown on the streets, who's behind that?
Speaker 3: Because if it's an organized criminal enterprise, and it certainly
Speaker 3: seems to be we have laws to deal with that,
Speaker 3: let's use them.
Speaker 6: And I'm interested in their political ideology. Are you anarchists?
Speaker 6: Are you Marxists?
Speaker 1: Are you?
Speaker 2: What are you? I mean?
Speaker 6: Do they have a website or a manifesto or something.
Speaker 6: I'd like to know what their plan is.
Speaker 3: Well, according to Nancy Pelosi, there are people who just
Speaker 3: hate seeing the out of control ice arrest children because
Speaker 3: that's what's happening. Nancy, Okay, So speaking of people communicating
Speaker 3: with the media well or not terribly, well, I brought
Speaker 3: up KJPS soon to be on the cutout bin, a
Speaker 3: book Independent to Look inside a Broken White House outside
Speaker 3: the party lines.
Speaker 6: Man, there's nobody who wants it. Nobody on the right
Speaker 6: was going to read it. And then she's taken on
Speaker 6: Democrats by being so nobody. No Democrats going.
Speaker 2: To read it?
Speaker 1: Right, And I got to read it.
Speaker 2: Books.
Speaker 6: I never understand how they get advances, how they get printed.
Speaker 2: Who freaking reads these books?
Speaker 3: Well, now, wait a minute, you've been calling begging for
Speaker 3: books telling the inside story of the bidens.
Speaker 2: Yes, but the just the.
Speaker 6: Nothing books like Hillary Clinton My Life?
Speaker 1: Who reads these things?
Speaker 3: Well, this one allegedly is like an undercover or you know,
Speaker 3: insider account, but.
Speaker 1: She is getting.
Speaker 3: The only attention KJP is getting at this point is guffaws.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the Jake Tapper syndrome. So she has
Speaker 3: now declared herself an independent voter and announced her tell
Speaker 3: all book about Biden, which is odd because she spent
Speaker 3: two years quoting Nellie Bowles, viciously enforcing those party lines
Speaker 3: and lashing out at anybody who dared challenge the acuity
Speaker 3: of her boss. She was the press secretary in charge
Speaker 3: of the biggest press driven cover up of a president
Speaker 3: in American history. She promoted the term cheap fakes to
Speaker 3: describe real videos of an obviously confused old man wandering
Speaker 3: deliriously through the world. And now she wants to claim
Speaker 3: independence and make it her whole thing.
Speaker 6: Well and most famously said I can't keep up with him,
Speaker 6: which was the whopper of all whoppers. Have you heard
Speaker 6: a single nugget out of this book? I haven't, really, no,
Speaker 6: so there must not be any, because if they're worry any,
Speaker 6: they would have come out already. But Nelly goes on
Speaker 6: to make the point that look, Biden's out of power,
Speaker 6: He's done.
Speaker 1: He's in fact, he's dying. He's practically done as a
Speaker 1: human being.
Speaker 3: So now the knives can come out, the unveiling of
Speaker 3: how bad it always was. Where was all this independent
Speaker 3: minded reporting KJP when Biden was powerful?
Speaker 6: Nowhere, So he's practically done as a human being.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: So and then.
Speaker 3: When the news came out, various folks who are not
Speaker 3: enamored with KJP are now talking. Yeah, those of us
Speaker 3: who were annoyed by her for years, now get our vengeance.
Speaker 6: Yes, I was surprised to see Democrats come out last
Speaker 6: week and you know, going after her talents and intelligence
Speaker 6: the way they did quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So many of her former colleagues think Jean Pierre was
Speaker 3: part of the problem. Many had quietly fumed for years,
Speaker 3: believing she was incompetent at her job and more interested
Speaker 3: in promoting herself than the administration.
Speaker 6: She excuse me, obviously incompetent at her job, although a
Speaker 6: very very hard job to do, to be sent out
Speaker 6: there and try to claim that your boss isn't uh
Speaker 6: senile when he goes down TV every day shown himself
Speaker 6: to be senile.
Speaker 3: Defending the indefensible, as I always put it. But there
Speaker 3: have been plenty of people who've done that job, and
Speaker 3: they've done it way better than this Ninny. One former
Speaker 3: White House official who worked closely with Jean Pierre told
Speaker 3: Axios quote, she was one of the most ineffectual and
Speaker 3: unprepared people I've ever worked with. She had meltdowns after
Speaker 3: any interview that asked about a topic not sent over
Speaker 3: by producers. She didn't know how to manage a team,
Speaker 3: didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and
Speaker 3: created more problems.
Speaker 1: Than she solved. The official said.
Speaker 2: She wasn't qualified for the job.
Speaker 6: I remember when Trump started hiring his people and Mark
Speaker 6: Alprin said, just my advice. He said to people in Washington, DC,
Speaker 6: do not take a job you're not qualified to do.
Speaker 6: It doesn't work out well. And he was talking about her.
Speaker 3: A different former Biden's communication official actually said a bunch
Speaker 3: of stuff. But it's difficult to see how this book
Speaker 3: is anything but a bizarre cash crab. A third White
Speaker 3: House official familiar with the dynamics told Acxios quote, the
Speaker 3: amount of time that was spent coddling Jean Pierre in
Speaker 3: appeasinger was astronomical compared to our attention on actual manners
Speaker 3: of substance.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, she was the first black, gay woman White
Speaker 6: House secretary.
Speaker 3: That's exactly where we're going. The fabulous Andrew Styles. Former
Speaker 3: White House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre, one of the
Speaker 3: most celebrated DEI hires in recent memory, was kind of
Speaker 3: dumb and terrible at her job. That's a quote she
Speaker 3: took over in twenty twenty two. She's widely celebrated by
Speaker 3: liberals obsessed with diversity for being the first lesbian.
Speaker 1: Of color to serve in that role.
Speaker 3: And I quote the executive director of Equality California. For
Speaker 3: the first time in our nation's history, people around the
Speaker 3: world will have the opportunity to watch a talented, accomplished,
Speaker 3: queer Black woman stand behind a podium and speak on
Speaker 3: behalf of the potus as Press Secretary Kareen's is this
Speaker 3: same prison. Karean's strength, integrity, and visibility will inspire generations
Speaker 3: of Americans to dream, beg, work hard, and never apologize
Speaker 3: for being the authentic selves. Essence magazine Senator as an
Speaker 3: example of black.
Speaker 2: Excellence, find all that sickening?
Speaker 3: Well, she failed This week In a shameless display of
Speaker 3: self promotion, she talks about the book. Former White House
Speaker 3: advisor Tim Wu wrote in a since deleted Twitter post
Speaker 3: that quote, the real problem with Jean Pierre is that
Speaker 3: she was kind of dumb and had no interest in
Speaker 3: understanding harder topics, which is why she often gave random,
Speaker 3: incoherent answers on policy. ACTUALLYOS reporter Alex Thompson remarked that
Speaker 3: Wu was not alone in his opinion. Now Democratic lawmakers
Speaker 3: are coming out, maybe because she's declared her former Democratic
Speaker 3: party in this, I don't know, said, Jean Pierre's explanation
Speaker 3: for her decision to leave the party was as confusing
Speaker 3: and disjointed as their answers in her White House press briefings.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. I do
Speaker 6: disagree that other people have had that situation and done
Speaker 6: it better. Who has had a president who was openly
Speaker 6: senile and everybody knew it, and then he would and
Speaker 6: then he would they would send you out with the
Speaker 6: talking points and like an hour later he would say
Speaker 6: the opposite.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you would do that job other
Speaker 2: than resign.
Speaker 3: Another member of Congress described her as the worst press
Speaker 3: secretary in American history. There were rumors that the Biden
Speaker 3: folks are trying to get rid of her because she's
Speaker 3: so terrible, but they couldn't for you know, DEI reasons.
Speaker 3: The Democrat congressman said, I don't know who wrote her book.
Speaker 3: We know she couldn't give up press conference out reading
Speaker 3: every word from her briefing.
Speaker 2: I hope I'm not described as kind of dumb. That's hurtful.
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks this is a grift.
Speaker 3: Former White House officials said, well, those books always are.
Speaker 3: Do you think the Jake Tapper book is a grift
Speaker 3: to her freak?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I do, Hell, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: But you've been fascinated by it.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I bought it and I have been
Speaker 2: reading it.
Speaker 6: But you held onto that stuff as a journalist, anything
Speaker 6: you had until it's you can make the maximum profit.
Speaker 6: You didn't decide to report any of this when it
Speaker 6: would have mattered with the most powerful person in.
Speaker 1: The world, right right?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Tapper kind of dumb too, and everyone knows it. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows it.
Speaker 3: Katie Jack jumping in to defend KJP over and over again.
Speaker 1: I find that interesting. Now, secret crush. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's politically impossible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some hots going on here, something.
Speaker 3: To figure out, I think he can win her back
Speaker 3: to team Heteroties.
Speaker 6: Just think it kind of fits into the cover up
Speaker 6: to act like they weren't sending her out there to
Speaker 6: lie about something that was obviously was obvious to everyone.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: My final note on this, I think of Jason Riley,
Speaker 3: the fabulous writer for the Wall Street Journal, a black
Speaker 3: man who's written a couple of great books, including Please
Speaker 3: Stop Helping Us. When a Karen Jean Pierre is trotted
Speaker 3: out to do a job she's not qualified for, looks,
Speaker 3: walks and quacks like a DEI higher and then is incompetent. Seriously,
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, anybody, anybody is a Democrat? What
Speaker 3: impression do you think that leaves on normal people who
Speaker 3: might hear? Yeah, that guy got hired probably because of
Speaker 3: his color. He's an insidious, undermining, horrible thing to do
Speaker 3: to the many, you know, brilliant qualified people of whatever
Speaker 3: race in America.
Speaker 6: Sure so, rather than inspiring millions, you may have caused millions,
Speaker 6: some of them may be racists to lean this direction anyway,
Speaker 6: to think anybody who's black who gets a job, it's
Speaker 6: just because they were black, but they aren't qualified that's
Speaker 6: what you've inspired.
Speaker 1: It's at least like a hurdle.
Speaker 3: They have to, you know, prove that they're not you know,
Speaker 3: quote unquote guilty of which is a terrible thing.
Speaker 1: It's awful.
Speaker 3: No, you walk into a medical facility, there's a person
Speaker 3: of color who's the doctor, and you remember hearing about.
Speaker 1: You cla medicine.
Speaker 3: Sure, with all the DEI crap, how can you not think,
Speaker 3: especially when your health is at stake. I wonder if
Speaker 3: they got this gig because they're qualified or dot dot
Speaker 3: dot again that's horrible.
Speaker 6: Or you can pick people that are so indisputably qualified
Speaker 6: that it goes the other direction, like Condoleeza Rice. Nobody
Speaker 6: ever doubted she had the intellect or abilities to do
Speaker 6: any of her jobs right, even for a moment.
Speaker 2: Okay, we will finish strong.
Speaker 6: Coming up next, yet another brutal assault from Russia.
Speaker 9: Russia launching nearly five hundred drones in missiles, the largest
Speaker 9: number of weapons fired during the entire three year war.
Speaker 9: At least a dozen people injured in these attacks.
Speaker 6: One killed almost five hundred drones and missiles. And again
Speaker 6: last night there's another big barrage or that sort of thing.
Speaker 6: Ukraine luckily has the ability to shoot most of this
Speaker 6: stuff down, like practically all of it. But I don't
Speaker 6: know how long you can keep that up. Oh, I
Speaker 6: was going to quote the maybe I should find that
Speaker 6: real quick. The head of NATO challenging other NATO members
Speaker 6: hard yesterday in a big speech.
Speaker 2: Let me find that real quick.
Speaker 1: Is he an American? Fella?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Isn't the head of NATO always an American? I
Speaker 2: think I heard that the other day and I didn't
Speaker 2: know that ought to be. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I can find it anyway.
Speaker 6: Is making the point that he believes that Russia will
Speaker 6: attack a NATO country within the next five years and
Speaker 6: they need to be ready, and so they need a
Speaker 6: four hundred percent increase in like, for instance, anti missile.
Speaker 2: Stuff like Ukraine is using right now, Yeah, to get
Speaker 2: ready for.
Speaker 3: Well, if you are not behaving as if you believe that,
Speaker 3: why does NATO exist?
Speaker 2: Good point?
Speaker 6: But what I wanted to bring up is, as listened
Speaker 6: to I've mentioned this many times. I really love the
Speaker 6: Daily Telegraph podcast that they do on Ukraine. I listened
Speaker 6: to it most days and it's just so freaking good.
Speaker 6: But they the other day the two correspondents were in
Speaker 6: Odessa and there the point of their story was what
Speaker 6: it's like to live in a town that regularly gets attacked,
Speaker 6: and it was super interesting. And we're so lucky as
Speaker 6: Americans that we've we don't we've never had to deal
Speaker 6: with this, and we don't unlikely that it will happen
Speaker 6: in our lifetimes.
Speaker 2: But not surprisingly, people get used to it, which is
Speaker 2: the history of mankind. You just get used to it.
Speaker 6: And uh if so, sirens go off multiple times a day,
Speaker 6: income and drones or missiles because Russia is firing so
Speaker 6: many of them, and if you get through on a
Speaker 6: regular basis and they hit, but they're unlikely to hit
Speaker 6: where you are. It's kind of like when you know
Speaker 6: you're on a golf course. I always thought the safest
Speaker 6: place to be on a green would be like the pin,
Speaker 6: since everybody was aiming for that and unlikely to hit it.
Speaker 6: But you know it's unlikely it's going to hit you.
Speaker 6: It could, but it doesn't happen very often. And I
Speaker 6: guess that's where you get after three years plus of
Speaker 6: missiles coming into your town. It hits over there, some
Speaker 6: old woman got killed, or nobody got hurt or whatever,
Speaker 6: But you're not gonna run down in the shelter for
Speaker 6: the eight hundredth time three months in or whatever. And
Speaker 6: after three years, people just don't. They just they look
Speaker 6: up in the sky and think, huh, go back to
Speaker 6: drinking their coffee at the coffee shop or whatever, or
Speaker 6: walk in the streets.
Speaker 2: They said that most people with kids do go.
Speaker 6: Down into the shelters every single time, but people without
Speaker 6: kids don't. And then as soon as the missiles hit,
Speaker 6: everybody just comes up and gets brooms and sweeps up
Speaker 6: all the broken glass and calls whoever you call to
Speaker 6: come repair the window.
Speaker 2: And that's just the way you live.
Speaker 3: Yes, Since I was a little kid, I was fascinated
Speaker 3: by tails from the blitz of London in the early
Speaker 3: part of World War two that keep calm and carry on.
Speaker 1: And the Londoners did exactly what you're describing.
Speaker 6: Which is a good, brave and it is sounding attitude,
Speaker 6: but it seems to be human nature after a certain
Speaker 6: amount of time, because what else are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: And it's a show of defiance, So it's a middle finger.
Speaker 6: Thought. Yeah, but you know, we're about to talk about
Speaker 6: anxiety in the One More Thing podcast. You know, we
Speaker 6: got a whole bunch of people who are afraid to
Speaker 6: call to order a pizza. How long are they going
Speaker 6: to take them to get used to missiles coming into
Speaker 6: their city every single day before they can keep calm
Speaker 6: and carry on.
Speaker 2: I'll make that my final thought. Here's your host for
Speaker 2: final thoughts, Joe.
Speaker 3: Getting Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on
Speaker 3: the crew to wrap up the show for the day.
Speaker 3: There is our technical director, Michael lead us off final thoughts.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is terrible. I just had an old man moment.
Speaker 3: I had a nice final thought and I cannot remember what.
Speaker 2: It is, all right, Joe Biden, Yeah, this is terrible.
Speaker 6: Should I order you a an uber so you don't
Speaker 6: have to go out there and drive?
Speaker 2: Maybe we should take your keys away?
Speaker 3: Is that pandering around the control boards in front of you, Michael?
Speaker 2: Do we have that power since our names are on
Speaker 2: the show to take his key? We do?
Speaker 3: Katie Green are esteemed to use woman as a final thought.
Speaker 2: Katie got a armstrong Jetty dot com to Katie's corner.
Speaker 2: I have a pull up? Does cherry flavor taste like coughs?
Speaker 3: Are up?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Or no? Man?
Speaker 2: The new diet Cherry Coke that everybody's so excited about.
Speaker 2: I guess why I upset to people earlier.
Speaker 6: So Jack final thought for us, I gave it to you.
Speaker 6: I don't know how the modern young people, who are
Speaker 6: scared of everything generation would soldier on in the face
Speaker 6: of ongoing air raids.
Speaker 3: I'm not in favor of bombing gen Z, but I
Speaker 3: think it would do him a lot of good, honestly,
Speaker 3: going through something like that and surviving. My final thought
Speaker 3: is I'm a little bit peeved that the IDF is
Speaker 3: more clever than me. They dubbed Greta Tomberg's about the
Speaker 3: selfie yacht. That is really funny and some pretty good politics.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 3: Many pleasures await you at Armstrong a getty dot com
Speaker 3: click away.
Speaker 6: We will see tomorrow with the latest whatever. God bless America.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't give a damn, but I care
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: I'm Strong and Getty. The optics of this are horrific.
Speaker 2: This is politically insane. Man, Let's just get it over with,
Speaker 2: get out of here. You more on, take your turtle
Speaker 2: knock and.

Speaker 8: We hit the logi, we boogie see as a hawker,
Speaker 8: we cold cocker.
