Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jetty and now he Armstrong and Eddy. A brand new
Speaker 1: monkey species has been discovered. You wouldn't think that could
Speaker 1: still happen on planet Earth in the year twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: But they discovered a brand new monkey saw. Then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're bored with the standard monkeys, good news, I'll.
Speaker 1: Tell you about that coming up. So Presidential election twenty
Speaker 1: eight Republican side, the most dumbed down version is Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio versus JD. Vance. Four people names will probably emerge
Speaker 1: that you don't even know or I don't even know,
Speaker 1: but Jdvans versus Marco Rubio. JD Vance the current sitting
Speaker 1: Vice President, who I don't know exactly what or who
Speaker 1: he is because he's been a number of different things.
Speaker 1: He was on Joe Rogan the other day for like
Speaker 1: three hours or something. Ah man, I heard him getting
Speaker 1: killed by a lot of different corners.
Speaker 2: Well I'll kill him for this, absolutely dropping his pants
Speaker 2: for the it's the Jews crowd, shameless, disgusting, mortifying anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Mark Calpern thought it was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Jd Vance went on there and some of the things
Speaker 1: that he said I was obscene. So then you got
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, who is the sitting Secretary of State, who
Speaker 1: is very verbally gifted. So's jd Vance. Well, actually, back
Speaker 1: to jd Vance the fact that he is so verbally
Speaker 1: gifted see Trump. Trump's verbally gifted in a weird way.
Speaker 1: But he also sometimes just says stuff because of the
Speaker 1: way his brain works that he doesn't really mean or
Speaker 1: he should have said it differently. Jd Vance is not
Speaker 1: saying anything by accident. So none of that stuff he
Speaker 1: said on Joe Rogan was like a slip of the
Speaker 1: tongue or I'm sorry, I didn't think that through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, as the Brits say, too clever by half.
Speaker 2: He's really trying to get that crowd consolidated behind him,
Speaker 2: the anti Semitic New Right. Anyway, Marco meanwhile, who I
Speaker 2: am a great admirer of, gave a speech and I'm
Speaker 2: trying to read this print. It's super tiny. It was
Speaker 2: a big sincatorium about leftism, militant leftism, leftist violence, and
Speaker 2: communism in short, and he absolutely brought the thunder. He
Speaker 2: had kind of two main points, one being the violence
Speaker 2: coming from the left and then the false promises of
Speaker 2: the left. Here's a nice sample of the first theme.
Speaker 3: More than eighty percent of radical violence is now driven
Speaker 3: by far left and anarchist actors. These are not abstract statistics.
Speaker 3: Americans have seen what those numbers mean. And all out
Speaker 3: assault on our immigration officers, sniper attacks, explosives, armed ambushes,
Speaker 3: a transgender shooter opening fire on Catholic elementary school students
Speaker 3: as they pray, his gun marked with slogans like where
Speaker 3: is your God now? A healthcare executive executed in cold
Speaker 3: blood in the streets, multiple assassination attempts on a sitting president,
Speaker 3: and the murder of the greatest conservative activist of a generation,
Speaker 3: a man who happened to also be a husband and
Speaker 3: the father of two young children, shot and killed while
Speaker 3: speaking to a crowd of students.
Speaker 2: And he makes a point that this is a distinctive evil.
Speaker 2: It's the worst against the best. This is what radical
Speaker 2: leftism is. It's trying to tear people down.
Speaker 1: So you're ready to move on to the socialism part? Sure,
Speaker 1: so does he start with that at eighty two or
Speaker 1: eighty three of them this list. I listened to the
Speaker 1: clips last night, and I listened to his speech or
Speaker 1: has heard the socialism part of the speech, but I
Speaker 1: don't know how it's broken out. It's all good. Let's
Speaker 1: just start from eighty two, Okay.
Speaker 3: It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place
Speaker 3: and time. They can call themselves anti capitalists or anti imperialists,
Speaker 3: or communists or anarchists or Marxists, but the fundamental character
Speaker 3: is always the same. It's always the same. It is
Speaker 3: a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and
Speaker 3: justice and liberation and overwhelming need to tear down what
Speaker 3: greater men have built, to wreck what is beautiful and
Speaker 3: what is right on behalf of people who are only
Speaker 3: filled with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We played the clip of Bertrand Russell a while back,
Speaker 1: and this was in black and white. He said this
Speaker 1: in the fifties or something, one of your thinkers, and
Speaker 1: i'd never heard it. Heard set that plainly, and I
Speaker 1: will think about it differently for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: Not about helping the downtrodden, It's about bringing down the successful,
Speaker 1: because it is the politics of envy. It's some sort
Speaker 1: of weird they have more than me, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to stop them from having stuff. But that doesn't work,
Speaker 1: so you have to claim it's about helping the working class.
Speaker 2: Right right, It's the politics of envy, of blame, and
Speaker 2: it's almost always the young, disaffected, educated who don't have
Speaker 2: the lives they think they ought to have, and so
Speaker 2: they need somebody to blame. And you throw in, oh,
Speaker 2: I get stuff without trying. That sounds great too. That's
Speaker 2: what it is. That's what it's always been.
Speaker 1: Marco goes on in the next clip.
Speaker 3: Through violence and through terror, they once again seek to
Speaker 3: impose their ugliness all of us. The old dogma was wrong.
Speaker 3: The old dogma was wrong. None of this is driven
Speaker 3: by idealism. It is not utopian. In fact, it is
Speaker 3: the opposite. The criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example,
Speaker 3: is that it sounds good in theory, but it never
Speaker 3: works in practice. That's actually not true. Communism does not
Speaker 3: sound good in theory. The world in envisions for all
Speaker 3: of us is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception,
Speaker 3: drained of all that is good and noble in the
Speaker 3: human soul, The world that envisions is a world without courage,
Speaker 3: a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes
Speaker 3: or glory or great causes to strive towards, without a
Speaker 3: world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above
Speaker 3: the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. And the
Speaker 3: world communism and visions is a world without God.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to stop with the it sounds good
Speaker 1: in theory. He's right, because it doesn't sound good even
Speaker 1: in theory because of the force mechanism. You need to
Speaker 1: make it work. Right, that by definition is going to
Speaker 1: make it evil. You'd need so much force to make
Speaker 1: all these things happen. You know. I was reading the
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists of America platform a little bit earlier and
Speaker 1: their talk of the government owning the biggest corporations in America.
Speaker 1: So you're talking about what Apple and SpaceX and Google
Speaker 1: and GM and how how is that going to happen?
Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of force that it would take
Speaker 1: to take over those companies and then run them and
Speaker 1: take the money and do whatever they're going to do
Speaker 1: with it. It's absolutely asinine. It's unworkable.
Speaker 2: And anybody who's who has any real world experience knows
Speaker 2: that the fact that a scheme that ludicrous is as
Speaker 2: appealing as it is to young people who are miseducated,
Speaker 2: and it's worth mentioning. And I've got some more statistics.
Speaker 2: We've touched on this the other day. This is almost
Speaker 2: exclusively a movement of the young, white and educated. Now
Speaker 2: they like to trot out a minority person here and
Speaker 2: there because that's their claim that it's to lift up
Speaker 2: the downtrodden, but it is wildly young white and athluent.
Speaker 1: Anyway, a little more from Marco.
Speaker 3: For these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of
Speaker 3: our civilization for them, it's an unbearable humiliation, a reminder
Speaker 3: of what they cannot do and a reminder of what
Speaker 3: they cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy. They
Speaker 3: attack pipelines, they attack railroads, They attack power grids and laboratories,
Speaker 3: the physical embodied symbols of power and invention and achievement.
Speaker 3: This is the nature of the terrorism we face today.
Speaker 3: They despise the West because the West is great.
Speaker 1: So you asked this the other day, and I'd like
Speaker 1: to hear Tim or one of our lawyer friends, explain
Speaker 1: why this doesn't cross the line because everybody joins the military,
Speaker 1: becomes a judge, becomes President of the United States, becomes
Speaker 1: a member of the Senate, whatever, all kinds of different positions.
Speaker 1: You have to swear to uphold the Constitution. The Democratic
Speaker 1: the DSA platform wants to rewrite the Constitution, Well, that's
Speaker 1: a gentle way of saying, tear up the current constitution,
Speaker 1: destroy the constitution, not uphold the current constitution. How are
Speaker 1: they not enemies of America if they want to end capitalism,
Speaker 1: destroy the constitution, get rid of the Senate, and abolish
Speaker 1: prisons and the police. How are you not an enemy
Speaker 1: of the United States if that's your platform, Well, that's revolution.
Speaker 2: I mean, to end the Senate unless you specifically say
Speaker 2: we're going to promote a constitutional amendment and get it
Speaker 2: approved by two thirds of the states.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Yeah, you're talking about revolution, And again
Speaker 1: I agree with you completely the amount of force it
Speaker 1: would take to do that. What are you gonna an
Speaker 1: army gonna come in and close it down? I mean,
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's an interesting question about It's kind of
Speaker 2: a philosophical question. One of the things that proves how
Speaker 2: dedicated we are to free speech, and how incredibly great
Speaker 2: it is is We'll let these jackassya who's shoot off
Speaker 2: their mouths and a lot of it actually kind of
Speaker 2: crosses the line. Well, look, they're not doing any harm
Speaker 2: and we're that dedicated to free speech. We are the
Speaker 2: shining city on the hill when it comes to liberty.
Speaker 2: For the rest of the world, they look at us,
Speaker 2: you know, like Brits and Canadians think we're half nuts.
Speaker 2: But yeah, well who's a great superpower and who's not.
Speaker 2: But at some point, if you let them get too
Speaker 2: much critical mass, then all of a sudden you've got
Speaker 2: to crack down.
Speaker 1: Well, we need a little we need a little more
Speaker 1: free speech on this issue. But I'll tell you about
Speaker 1: that after this. Yeah, congratulations. Your personal information is valuable.
Speaker 1: The bad news it's far more accessible than you might want.
Speaker 1: Every time you shop online, your data is collected package
Speaker 1: sold to data brokers. That's why you ought to use Incogny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every scam starts with your personal info being out there,
Speaker 1: available to the wrong person. And in Cogny is a
Speaker 1: company that goes to the data brokers and uses the
Speaker 1: law on their side to make these data brokers legally
Speaker 1: force them to remove your information. We're using incognity to
Speaker 1: get our names an info away from these data brokers.
Speaker 1: They can't spam you if they can't find you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 2: I got to get back on my dashboard thinging because
Speaker 2: I have a special request. I want to make it's
Speaker 2: super customizable. They keep sending follow up requests or your
Speaker 2: data stays protected and remove, protecting you from scams, spams
Speaker 2: and real digital threats. They can't spam you if they
Speaker 2: can't find you. Take back your privacy within cogni. In
Speaker 2: cogni dot com slash armstrong, that's I ncog ni dot
Speaker 2: com slash armstrong. You get sixty percent off for using
Speaker 2: our code armstrong and in cognit dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1: Here's why we need more free speech around this issue.
Speaker 1: So the Deep Democratic Socialists of America the DSA. The
Speaker 1: website it says this was started by Bernie Sanders. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Bernie believes all this stuff, but ask him,
Speaker 1: make him answer the question, do you believe all the
Speaker 1: stuff on the website? Do you want to do away
Speaker 1: with the you're a senator, do you want to do
Speaker 1: away with the US Senate? Do you want to rewrite
Speaker 1: the constitution, which again is a nice way of saying
Speaker 1: tear up the constitution, destroy the constitution, come up with
Speaker 1: something different, destroy capitalism. Is that what you want to do?
Speaker 1: All these candidates that have run as DSA, candidates that
Speaker 1: have won their primaries, make them say, do you agree
Speaker 1: with all this stuff?
Speaker 2: I want to completely open the borders, and I want
Speaker 2: to completely open the prisons, empty the prisons and eliminate
Speaker 2: police forces.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to make them say. That housing
Speaker 1: is a right and it'll all be controlled by the government.
Speaker 1: Is that what you advocate, say it out loud, Apple
Speaker 1: is going to belong to the government. Is that your
Speaker 1: continue to innovate and be efficient with its money and
Speaker 1: blah blah. I think some of them that they would
Speaker 1: say no, but I think some of them would say
Speaker 1: know and be lying yeah, Marxists sly all the time. Anyway,
Speaker 1: you have any thoughts on any of that text line
Speaker 1: of four one five, two nine five kftc or Mary
Speaker 1: zorron Mondania yesterday attended the World Cup watch party with
Speaker 1: inmates at Rikers Island. That's how crowded the other bars were.
Speaker 1: So I got more on that in a little bit.
Speaker 1: The uh the watch party that Mamdani put together in
Speaker 1: the prison, I wish, I wish you you communists worried
Speaker 1: as much about taxpayers and citizens who obey the laws
Speaker 1: as you do about people who are in prisons, who
Speaker 1: demonstrated that they don't care about society. No kidding, I
Speaker 1: thought this was so enlightening.
Speaker 2: A young woman by the name of Candle White, who's
Speaker 2: some sort of like young fellow to Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: writes it's summertime for socialism in New York and she
Speaker 2: mentions the Democratic Socialists America claimed primary wins in three
Speaker 2: of the safe congressional districts in New York and will
Speaker 2: probably be headed into the United States Congress, And she
Speaker 2: says how did.
Speaker 1: They do it? To find out, I spent the last
Speaker 1: month soaking up the warmth of collectivism by criming as
Speaker 1: many DSA events as possible in my schedule. Coffee with comrades,
Speaker 1: A Socialism won, a one course, a new Member's social
Speaker 1: a book club, and even a hooton Nanny. I found
Speaker 1: myself thinking, what is a hooton Nanny exactly? Is it
Speaker 1: like a jamboree or is that different? Is it better
Speaker 1: or worse than a hold hodown? Is it more than
Speaker 1: a hodown or.
Speaker 2: Less right or more somber right? Yes, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but listen to this. This is, you know, enjoyable. It's
Speaker 2: a less somber hodoun. Don't you know anything, idiot? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but listen, Oh, for God's sake. The DSA also hosts
Speaker 2: board game nights, running clubs, World Cup watch parties, a
Speaker 2: softball league, in birding trips, and I think that is
Speaker 2: really interesting, giving young people a chance to actually get
Speaker 2: together and using that positive feeling to indoctrinate them into socialism.
Speaker 2: Then she goes into the fact that the dssay is
Speaker 2: of the opinion that we should just use the Democratic
Speaker 2: Party ballot line, but we should build our own party.
Speaker 2: So once we're in office, we're not responsible to the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party at all.
Speaker 1: We're the DSA. So we use that ballot line, call
Speaker 1: ourselves Democrats, but we are the DSA. And then she
Speaker 1: goes into some facilitators the things they said getting rid
Speaker 1: of the Senate and the electoral College. Another important aspect
Speaker 1: of socialism, he said, is that we generally consider ourselves
Speaker 1: to be Marxists. And then they sang a Newish version
Speaker 1: of Len Internationale, the Soviet Union's national anthem for much
Speaker 1: of Stalin's reign. They changed some of the lyrics to
Speaker 1: from the River to the sea, forever, trans rights, forever
Speaker 1: that sort of thing, and kindle rights. At the new
Speaker 1: member socialized sip to Seltzer while conversing with fellow travelers
Speaker 1: in a spacious apartment, a copy of Mao's Little Red
Speaker 1: Book and a Russian for hat with a Soviet red
Speaker 1: star sat together on a bookshelf. The communist paraphernalia was
Speaker 1: mirrored by a collection of Mamdani campaign signs on the
Speaker 1: opposite side of the room. Comrades cracked open a reesling
Speaker 1: that retails for nearly one hundred dollars a half bottle. Well,
Speaker 1: that's why Jonah Goldber is right in the other day
Speaker 1: that this hole the DSA is. No, it's just kind
Speaker 1: of a slightly more left democratic party. No, these aren't communists. Yeah.
Speaker 1: For instance, Byron York has this quote from the DSA website.
Speaker 1: What would be like under them? You have no debt,
Speaker 1: you don't need health insurance, you don't pay a mortgage
Speaker 1: or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right.
Speaker 1: Your retirement is publicly funded food, education, energy, medicine, and
Speaker 1: transportation aren't for p right right, Kendall Wrights.
Speaker 2: The DSA offers and attract a bill of goods, a
Speaker 2: built in friend group, and the promise of free everything
Speaker 2: for everyone all the time.
Speaker 1: Can how to landstream Democrats compete? Cats can talk, horses
Speaker 1: can fly, sure might as well, and you can if
Speaker 1: you gold bars. All Democrats have had on offer for
Speaker 1: the past decade is a geriatric geriatric candidates and rage
Speaker 1: against President Trump. If you're a young Democrat wanting to
Speaker 1: meet like minded friends, good luck. I filled out the
Speaker 1: New York State Democratic Interest for them two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: have yet to hear back. There are no events listed
Speaker 1: on their website.
Speaker 2: Even if there were, a doubt they would have as
Speaker 2: much folk music and free beer as the dsation digs
Speaker 2: I attended. The democrats problem is of their own creation.
Speaker 2: She goes on at some length, the warmth of collectivism
Speaker 2: feels all the warmer because the social chill Democrats imposed
Speaker 2: on New York.
Speaker 1: You can wear cowboy boots to a hoot and nanny,
Speaker 1: can't you? Sure? Yes, proster, probably not a shin dig No,
Speaker 1: you would stand out, definitely, you could at a hoe
Speaker 1: down jamboree. I'd wear loafers really, never mind always with socks.
Speaker 1: I'm not sockless guy. Come on now, we got more
Speaker 1: of the way. If you miss against podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty on demand arm Strong and Getty. In a recent interview,
Speaker 1: Keith Richards called America a bit of a disappointment at
Speaker 1: the moment, leaving many people concerned that he's having trouble
Speaker 1: finding drugs. So Mick Jagger's done about ten hours with
Speaker 1: interviews in the last week. They got a new album
Speaker 1: out that my brother, who is a Rolling Stones fanatic,
Speaker 1: says it's pretty good. I haven't listened to anybody listen.
Speaker 1: I have no doubt. No, I haven't yet. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: brother last film was pretty damn solid. My brother thought,
Speaker 1: he said, this is like tattoo you again? What was
Speaker 1: your That was my skeptical noise. Oh, I'd have to
Speaker 1: hear it. They're in their eighties. But anyway, the whole
Speaker 1: rock stars unhappy with America. Oh please, my, oh my
Speaker 1: freaking god. We have to make one exception to free speech.
Speaker 1: No more rock stars with their political opinions. Keith Richards
Speaker 1: couldn't love your music more? Who could possibly give a
Speaker 1: crap while you think about the state of the United
Speaker 1: States of America.
Speaker 2: Right now, here's my only defensive Keith the guy who
Speaker 2: asked him.
Speaker 1: Good point. That is an excellent point. Actually, thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm here all week, which is mercifully about that.
Speaker 1: That's what the new free speech rule has got to
Speaker 1: be about. Stop asking someone who just won a gold
Speaker 1: medal in the Olympics what they think of ice. Stop
Speaker 1: asking aging guitar players what they think of the politics
Speaker 1: of America. Yeah, stop, you really think you're doing some
Speaker 1: good in the world. I assume you became a journalist
Speaker 1: because you're gonna to do some good in the world
Speaker 1: that ain't doing good in the world. All right, you bastards.
Speaker 1: I'd like to fight you. I'd like to fight that guy,
Speaker 1: whoever that guy is right now, he's perfectly normal. B
Speaker 1: also perfectly normal, also old, probably roughly the same age
Speaker 1: Joe Biden as Keith Richard. So he's got a new
Speaker 1: book coming out in November, Promised Me America, which Nelly
Speaker 1: Bowls of Free Press says she hasn't figured out what
Speaker 1: the inflection is supposed to be on that Promise Me
Speaker 1: America or promised Me America or what is how are
Speaker 1: you supposed.
Speaker 2: To be a pony for Christmas? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Here is the promo that they put out to challenge
Speaker 1: me faced his nation about his decisions. I made why
Speaker 1: I'm made him lead in the country through COVID.
Speaker 3: You're building our country, I'm restoring our democracy after the
Speaker 3: attack on January sixth.
Speaker 1: Here's a whole good one any nation's longest WIGNI finished?
Speaker 1: If that's the good one born Aghanistan And as Nelly
Speaker 1: Bowls writes, anyway, he released a video announcing the book,
Speaker 1: and it's very sad to watch. Biden has declined further.
Speaker 1: As it happens in life, the camera cuts every two seconds.
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that, but it wasn't just being
Speaker 1: a modern TikTok thing. It was a we have to
Speaker 1: piece this together two seconds at a time, and that
Speaker 1: thanks Afghanistan. I mean, we're in this business. All you
Speaker 1: can do is assume that's the best they could do
Speaker 1: after many, many many takes.
Speaker 2: As long as we're Yeah, the people who are involved
Speaker 2: in the production thought, that's as good as we're going
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 1: We just need to move on. It's very sad to
Speaker 1: watch the camera cuts every two seconds. His voice is
Speaker 1: slurred and hushed. Some of his longer words are barely intelligible.
Speaker 1: I'd say, after eighty why even beyond camera? Who is
Speaker 1: the one saying we need him to be doing more
Speaker 1: on camera stuff? And why do I feel like doctor
Speaker 1: Jill is gearing him up to be on Dancing with Stars?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Ah?
Speaker 1: Oh, the evil doctor Jill.
Speaker 5: Not a real doctor, not even close. No, holy cow, yeah, yes,
Speaker 5: this is terrible.
Speaker 1: She finishes with, please Biden's let this man retire from
Speaker 1: public life. He's earned his candleope and let him eat.
Speaker 5: It in peace.
Speaker 2: And I discovered the joys of the humble cantlope whilst vacationing. Uh,
Speaker 2: Genie and I used to buy him, but they're huge.
Speaker 2: So you got a whole candlope and that for two people.
Speaker 2: I mean that would last you three weeks, except the
Speaker 2: candleopold last three weeks, or you buy.
Speaker 1: Pre sliced prohibitively expensive. My mom always called it musk melon.
Speaker 2: Different melon. That's a different melon, I do believe, so, yes,
Speaker 2: I could be mistaken. My melon knowledge is admittedly mediocre
Speaker 2: at best.
Speaker 1: My kids always complain if you go to a cheap restaurant,
Speaker 1: which we do a lot, and you get their fruit bowl,
Speaker 1: which I'll often make them get a fruit bowl if
Speaker 1: they're having other unhealthy stuff. The fruit bowl at a
Speaker 1: cheap restaurant is all melon. They'll give you like ad
Speaker 1: grape and a slice of strawberry and a bunch of melon.
Speaker 1: Melon must be free. You go to a nice restaurant
Speaker 1: and get a fruit bowl, like a more expensive breakfast place,
Speaker 1: and there's lots of delicious fruit in there. You get some,
Speaker 1: you get some pineapple, you get several grapes, she get
Speaker 1: a couple of blueberries. Cheap restaurants some to looking at you,
Speaker 1: Black Bear diner. Oh melon, nice job, fruit, way too
Speaker 1: much melon. Look at that guy, he's some sort of
Speaker 1: fruit bowl. Here's your answer, Jack, and we've all learned
Speaker 1: something today. A cantlope is a type of musk melon,
Speaker 1: but not all musk melons are cantalopes. Candleope without a girl,
Speaker 1: say that again. A cantalope is a type of musk melon,
Speaker 1: but not all musk melons are cantalop My mom was right, absolutely, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a specific sort of musk melon. She, you know,
Speaker 1: child of the depression. She's a, Hey, we aren't the
Speaker 1: kind of people that get to like individually identify our melons.
Speaker 1: All right, right, We're lucky to have a melon at all.
Speaker 1: They're all musk melons. Let's eat if you enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1: The rich might be obsessing over what musk melon will
Speaker 1: we serve to that, and we are happy to have
Speaker 1: any melon we can get, exactly, God bless her, oh Man,
Speaker 1: musk melon, which is a terrible name for a melon.
Speaker 1: I don't find melon that enjoyable anyway, generally, but musk
Speaker 1: is not a appetizing word. Oh I've hardly met a
Speaker 1: melon I didn't enjoy really the humble water melon. I
Speaker 1: have never understood of the melons size and deliciousness. I've
Speaker 1: never understood the appeal of watermelon. What wow, Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: Michael working with a weirdo freak God. When I was
Speaker 1: a kid, to'd be hey, we got watermelons, like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like they gave us a pony or something,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, great freaking summer deliciousness. It's American deliciousness. Hey,
Speaker 1: that was great. How the Cubs won the World Series
Speaker 1: last year, wasn't it?
Speaker 5: Jack.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing whether he's a Soviet spine because the Cubs
Speaker 1: didn't win the series and he didn't he got like
Speaker 1: watermelon juice running down your arm. Well, put your elbow
Speaker 1: to the side. This is this is a disappointing moment.
Speaker 1: The sea should probably move a spit them out for distance.
Speaker 2: It's how I learned really good spitting technique, by the way,
Speaker 2: spitting watermelon seeds, spitting contests with my cousins back in
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 1: Good times. We're gonna we got a person out in
Speaker 1: the newsroom. Uh. Jensenen does news for us every now
Speaker 1: and then. She's in her twenties. She's a regular person.
Speaker 1: She went to opening night of The Odyssey last night.
Speaker 1: Gonna ask her a regular person about it, and she
Speaker 1: was hot at the Imax. Which is part of the
Speaker 1: attempt here to like rescue the movie industry, because they
Speaker 1: do have the problem of like, I got a really
Speaker 1: great TV and was not expensive either, and it's really
Speaker 1: really giant and really really good, and the leap from
Speaker 1: that to a regular movie is just not enough to
Speaker 1: make me go sometimes. But Imax is different. There's Imax
Speaker 1: is a different world from television. And so this is
Speaker 1: the first major motion picture that's been released in full
Speaker 1: form on an Imax, and I'm gonna check that out.
Speaker 1: And I tried to get seats and were seats available
Speaker 1: for this weekend? And I thought, oh cool, opening weekend.
Speaker 1: Still seats available, but only the front two rows. Well luckily,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned that, is they a bunch of you
Speaker 1: texted me and said, don't do it. You can't do you.
Speaker 1: Not only do you have to crane your neck, which
Speaker 1: I don't really care about that out much, but you
Speaker 1: just can't. You can't really take in what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's not designed. I don't even know why they sell
Speaker 1: seats there and to extract the money from poor suckers
Speaker 1: like yourself, I guess. But I'm gonna wait till next
Speaker 1: week so I won't be able to review it this
Speaker 1: weekend like I was hoping to. I'm gonna wait till
Speaker 1: next week so I can get a seat further back
Speaker 1: middle of the IMAX and watch it in the full form.
Speaker 1: Did you look forward?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: What did you say it was three hours long?
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's just like two minutes short of three
Speaker 1: hour movie. Although they announced that I appreciated that. At
Speaker 1: least our local Imax we ain't doing any previews, all right,
Speaker 1: So the movie starts on time, don't show up on
Speaker 1: time because I have started showing up a full half
Speaker 1: hour late because that's how long the previews have become
Speaker 1: at my local movie theater. And it's not just previews,
Speaker 1: it's just ads. Here's an ad for State Farm insurance,
Speaker 1: here's an ad for McDonald's, and then previews. It's just
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit there for a half hour and watch movies,
Speaker 1: I mean commercials. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So that will be in our four We'll
Speaker 2: get to Jensen's review. If you don't get our four,
Speaker 2: grab it five podcast Armstrong You Getting on Demand you
Speaker 2: ought to be subscribing. You will get the Armstrong You
Speaker 2: Getty One More Thing podcast automatically. Yesterday's One More Thing
Speaker 2: was about how perverse the American Museum of National History
Speaker 2: at the Smithsonian in Washington, d C. Has become, how
Speaker 2: it's become like an organ of Marxist education.
Speaker 1: It's sickening it really, as I complained about this last
Speaker 1: summer because me and the kids went.
Speaker 2: But I really think you'll enjoy the podcast again. Sarmstrong
Speaker 2: and Getting on Demand from July sixteenth, coming up really
Speaker 2: need to tip our cap to the fact that LA's
Speaker 2: bums and junkies policies have reached a new level of
Speaker 2: wasting incompetence.
Speaker 1: Six months ago, you thought this is as bad as
Speaker 1: it gets. No, they've they've striven to rise above.
Speaker 2: That level of incompetence and they've gotten even better slash worse.
Speaker 1: Cool, And man, they got a problem in Colorado. We'll
Speaker 1: get to at some point. Somebody keeps hacking into online
Speaker 1: court court dramas. No, that makes Sonily keep a show
Speaker 1: actual courtrooms, court cases they're doing online and showing porn
Speaker 1: or Nazi stuff, and it keeps happening over and over again.
Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm not a cat exactly, that sort
Speaker 1: of that sort of thing. Yeah, stay duned, coming up
Speaker 1: in a moment. There is a problem with starting to
Speaker 1: do all your court cases online. People are hacking in
Speaker 1: and in Colorado they got a particular problem with porn
Speaker 1: and Nazis showing up in their courtrooms. So more monographic Nazis.
Speaker 1: Anything can get any worse.
Speaker 2: So, speaking of Great Western cities, or at least formerly
Speaker 2: so in Great Western states, LA's homeless policy is piling
Speaker 2: the incredibly expensive, absurd upon the appallingly expensive, ridiculous California
Speaker 2: Post is reporting that a city homeless initiative championed by
Speaker 2: Councilwoman Nithya Ramen, she is the communist who's way left
Speaker 2: of Karen Bass, who was one of the final two
Speaker 2: in the election, or Spencer Pratt being shoved to side.
Speaker 2: But this homeless initiative champion by the socialist Ramen, has
Speaker 2: spent more than sixty million dollars to fill three subsidized
Speaker 2: apartments with homeless quote unquote Angelino's it was supposed to
Speaker 2: be a couple of thousand, it's three so far three,
Speaker 2: not three thousand, three hundred and three.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, City Hall still pumps hundreds of millions of taxpayer
Speaker 1: dollars into a different thing. The scandal marred LA Homeless
Speaker 1: Services Authority despite years of talk about the need for
Speaker 1: the change, because they don't do any good. So then
Speaker 1: you've got Karen Bass's signature inside safe program, which pays
Speaker 1: exorbitant rates to temporary, temporarily stash bumps and junkies in
Speaker 1: hotel rooms. Then there's the city's dismal record with the
Speaker 1: LA Homeless Services Authority, which we could go into detail.
Speaker 1: But Bass appoints five of the ten members who governed
Speaker 1: that authority. But it's completely corrupt, completely ineffective, and the
Speaker 1: city has appeared powerless to fix the agency or even
Speaker 1: leave it.
Speaker 2: The county has more or less left that organization behind.
Speaker 2: But this year, the Trump administration yanked two hundred million
Speaker 2: dollars in federal funding that the LAHSA had been getting
Speaker 2: as the FEDS probe the agency for alleged financial mismanagement.
Speaker 2: G do you think conflicts of interest and poor contract oversight.
Speaker 2: But the city officials who've been talking about how it's
Speaker 2: ineffective have yet to even study the prospect of shifting
Speaker 2: spending away from the LHSA. They just keep shoveling them
Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars. And this is a group
Speaker 2: that just spent sixty million dollars to move homeless people
Speaker 2: into three apartments. It's also a group that pours billions
Speaker 2: of dollars into the homeless industrial complex, funneling taxpayer money
Speaker 2: to nonprofits that benefit financially by entrenching homelessness rather than
Speaker 2: abating it.
Speaker 1: And it's just growing, holy crap, frustrating. Oh, and nobody's
Speaker 1: willing to admit it's a it's a drug problem. It's
Speaker 1: a drug and drug fueled mental illness problem. So we're
Speaker 1: on a new radio station in Denver, Colorado, K HOW.
Speaker 1: I grew up listening to K HOW KHOW every day
Speaker 1: when I was a teenager, and it's one of the
Speaker 1: main reasons I got into radio at all. So it's
Speaker 1: very exciting that the Armstrong and Getty Show is now
Speaker 1: on k HOW and Denver. We're ill also have been
Speaker 1: on in Colorado Springs for quite some time. That's where
Speaker 1: this story comes from, where my parents lived for years
Speaker 1: and years loved the springs. Yeah, this is from kid
Speaker 1: R d O and Colorado Springs and a problem they're
Speaker 1: having with courtrooms.
Speaker 4: This video is sent to us by a viewer. Shows
Speaker 4: but started as a routine court hearing and ended with pornography,
Speaker 4: swastikas and a judge forced to shut the hearing down.
Speaker 6: Literally, it would be men gratifying themselves with swastikas swirling
Speaker 6: around the screen.
Speaker 4: Defense attorney Jeremy Lowe was in the Opasso County courtroom
Speaker 4: when it happened last week. He sells the judge immediately
Speaker 4: shut the virtual proceeding down after the explicit video, which
Speaker 4: we've heavily blurred took over the screen.
Speaker 6: This is pornographic and anti semitic images being projected throughout
Speaker 6: a courtroom.
Speaker 1: Thanks for your expertise people to observe, and it's just
Speaker 1: not appropriate. We're tracking appreciate your expertise on that this
Speaker 1: is inappropriate and anti semitic. Oh you mean the guy
Speaker 1: walking off in the naz symbols. Oh okay, you got
Speaker 1: a guy polishing this V two right there on the screen.
Speaker 1: That's a little World War two humor for you. I'm
Speaker 1: glad we brought in somebody with a PhD to let
Speaker 1: us know why this is offensive. The report goes on.
Speaker 4: Cardio thirteen Investigates also obtained video from a similar disruption
Speaker 4: during a Pueblo County court hearing a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4: The Colorado Judicial Department tells Cardio thirteen Investigates it has
Speaker 4: received reports of at least twenty eight virtual courtroom disruptions
Speaker 4: in the last six months alone, and the state says
Speaker 4: the people responsible are disguising themselves as police officers, attorneys,
Speaker 4: and other legitimate court participants. Back in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: Cardio thirteen Investigates reported on similar disruptions inside Colorado's virtual
Speaker 4: court system.
Speaker 6: There are high school kids and junior high school kids
Speaker 6: that come throughout the courtrooms and observe proceedings again with
Speaker 6: their school. You know, it is really sad that we
Speaker 6: have the potential to expose them to this once again.
Speaker 1: I was kind of on the fence for the heart
Speaker 1: where they're having Nazi porn on our courtroom proceedings, was
Speaker 1: a good idea or not, But he convinced me that's right.
Speaker 1: The kids right. If you didn't have high schoolers there,
Speaker 1: then we'd all be perfectly fine with watching a Nazi masturbate.
Speaker 1: But but he makes an excellent point, so you know,
Speaker 1: it turns out you were right. I wasn't picturing that.
Speaker 1: I thought it was two different things. Likely. I thought
Speaker 1: it was probably people hacking in, and I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: hacking breaking in and then showing porn and then some
Speaker 1: other Nazi stuff. But no, it was actually combined, right,
Speaker 1: Nazi serviady, I say we'd break in and show porn. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: We've got to inflict Nazi stuff on people. That that's
Speaker 1: the most shocking. I say porn, I say, Nazi, You
Speaker 1: got Nazi on my porn? You got porn on my Nazi.
Speaker 1: That's an old reference. Uh yeah, But then they came
Speaker 1: up with wait, wait, wait a minute, Heinrich, Wait a minute.
Speaker 1: Two great offenses that offend together, Nazi and porn. That
Speaker 1: is really something. Thank you Colorado for that. If you
