Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1: Have you prepared for this? I am ult What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3: I ain't no easy answers. Let me throw that out
Speaker 3: to you. I don't have a magical solution. I wish
Speaker 3: I did, I don't. I don't know the answer to
Speaker 3: the question. Admittedly it is complicated. I don't have the
Speaker 3: magic answer. Okay, I don't have the answer to that question.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. What does it mean?
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? So?
Speaker 3: And again, please, this is the is a complicated issue.
Speaker 3: I surely don't have all the answers of what was
Speaker 3: they saying?
Speaker 1: You know? Right now?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's enough of that. So that's Bernie Sanders was
Speaker 4: on Joe Rogan yesterday. I think made some news. The
Speaker 4: most interesting thing to me was h Rogan was a
Speaker 4: Bernie voter in twenty sixteen. If you don't remember, he
Speaker 4: was back in Bernie over Hillary. That's why I've never
Speaker 4: quite understood the whole we need our own Joe Rogan
Speaker 4: from Democrats what is he I don't even.
Speaker 1: Know what he is. He doesn't know what he is now.
Speaker 1: I think his ideas are forming up a little bit.
Speaker 2: But he hit.
Speaker 4: Bernie with a story from the Washington Post that I
Speaker 4: haven't seen it. I need to look into with some
Speaker 4: long term study of global temperatures that indicates that we
Speaker 4: are actually in a cooling period if you look at
Speaker 4: long stretches of history, as opposed to you know, about
Speaker 4: to perish under the sea of hot water, to which
Speaker 4: Bernie said, I don't know. I haven't seen that article,
Speaker 4: and he hadn't, And you know what is he going
Speaker 4: to say? He hasn't seen that study? But I thought
Speaker 4: that was pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see, we've been accidentally cooling the plan and
Speaker 1: it's about to stop humans. Fossil fuel burning has cooled
Speaker 1: the planet while warming it, presenting problems for the future.
Speaker 1: What presenting problems for my brain? What the hell does
Speaker 1: that mean? Yeah, no kidding, I'll have to dig into
Speaker 1: this all right. Oh, it causes both global warming and
Speaker 1: global cooling. One of the great ironies.
Speaker 4: Bernie sounds exactly like he did in twenty sixteen when
Speaker 4: he was running against Hillary or if you've seen old
Speaker 4: videos of him exactly like he did when he was
Speaker 4: thirty five and living in Burlington. For whatever reason, his
Speaker 4: brain holds in there. At eighty three Fewer people are
Speaker 4: dying of heart attacks. How many fewer? It's unbelievable. Latest
Speaker 4: study it out the number of Americans dying from heart
Speaker 4: attacks has dropped ninety percent in the last half century.
Speaker 1: That's stunning. It really is dropping. Debt of a heart
Speaker 1: attack sounds unpleasant.
Speaker 4: Researchers are warning that three other heart conditions are on
Speaker 4: the rise.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, you should watch out for age adjusted heart
Speaker 4: disease death's rate among adults twenty five or older.
Speaker 1: They're looking at.
Speaker 4: Researchers found that heart disease deaths overall dropped by sixty
Speaker 4: six percent during this five decade period, largely driven by
Speaker 4: a sharp decline in heart attacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder how long I would have lasted back in
Speaker 1: the day, because I have a history of high blood pressure,
Speaker 1: high cholesterol, and significant chunk of heart disease in my
Speaker 1: family history. But you know, I'm on the statins for cholesterol,
Speaker 1: I'm on blood pressure. I just keep my blood pressure down.
Speaker 1: I probably will. Good Lord, I don't even want to
Speaker 1: think about it. But yeah, but it might be the
Speaker 1: Jack and Michael show right.
Speaker 4: Now, manchest, Like when I had my cancer in this
Speaker 4: older doctor's said to me, you know, if you had
Speaker 4: this when I.
Speaker 1: Started, you'd be dead already. Thought, wow, that's interesting, thanks doc.
Speaker 2: I guess that's good news. Yeah, but death's from arrhythmias.
Speaker 4: That's when your heart beats too fast, too slow, or
Speaker 4: regularly increased the most, with age adjusted death rates soaring
Speaker 4: four hundred and fifty percent in that amount of time.
Speaker 4: So you're not having an art attack, but you die from.
Speaker 1: That heart failure.
Speaker 4: Deaths which your heart's in ability to pump enough blood,
Speaker 4: which is really the heart's number one job, climbed one
Speaker 4: hundred and forty six percent.
Speaker 1: You had one job, lazy heart. What's with the arrhythmia?
Speaker 1: I want to know more about that. Well that means
Speaker 1: me jump? Is it from virtually nobody to practically nobody?
Speaker 1: Or what that worries me? Did I talk about this
Speaker 1: on the air NOD? I don't remember that, did Yeah?
Speaker 1: You imagine me.
Speaker 4: I originally wasn't going to because I thought it sounded
Speaker 4: so weak, But I went to the emergency room. What
Speaker 4: three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and they kept me
Speaker 4: there for several hours and thought I was gonna stay
Speaker 4: the night because my heart rate was so fast and
Speaker 4: it was weird.
Speaker 1: But they think it's just.
Speaker 2: Because I drank too much coffee. Wow, oh my god,
Speaker 2: how much did you drink that day?
Speaker 1: Do you remember? I think three cups? And you have
Speaker 1: a weird caffeine sensitivity thing too.
Speaker 4: Every once in a while, every once in a while,
Speaker 4: and I did tell them this, every once in a while,
Speaker 4: I just go through a period where like a half
Speaker 4: a cup of coffee makes me feel like my head's
Speaker 4: gonna pop off, and it lasts a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: I can't hardly drink any coffee. When I go back
Speaker 4: to normal, where.
Speaker 1: I can drink like a whole bunch, I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is.
Speaker 4: But that day I was sitting in a meeting, actually
Speaker 4: as a Saturday morning. I'd been sitting there for at
Speaker 4: least forty five minutes, sitting perfectly still in a very
Speaker 4: calm meeting, but sipping on my coffee and my phone
Speaker 4: or my watch, and it said my heart rate was
Speaker 4: I when my heart rate was one hundred and thirty
Speaker 4: four beats a minute, sitting perfectly. Still, Oh, that is
Speaker 4: not normal, I know, and that's single word.
Speaker 1: And I felt a little weird.
Speaker 4: And also the night before my son had said we're
Speaker 4: at the restaurant and had said, Dad, are you okay?
Speaker 2: Your whole head and neck are bright red.
Speaker 4: Oh, And so the combination of those two things made
Speaker 4: me think. So I called the advice nurse and they said, yeah,
Speaker 4: you probably ought to go to urgent care or walk
Speaker 4: in or something like that. And then I went to
Speaker 4: urgent Care. And then if you have a heart anything
Speaker 4: at urgent care, they sent me immediately to the er.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to people who are mocking.
Speaker 4: Me to go up from going to the er, which
Speaker 4: I may have mocked somebody for going to the r
Speaker 4: for this when I was younger. Maybe when you have
Speaker 4: kids it changes your whole calculation on these things. If
Speaker 4: I didn't have kids, I'd have been like, whatever, if
Speaker 4: I die, I'd die.
Speaker 2: I've had a good life. Seriously, what did I care?
Speaker 2: But I can't be ignored.
Speaker 1: This leaves his kids parentless.
Speaker 4: Guy out of some sort of I don't know, either
Speaker 4: laziness or pride or whatever. So I went over to
Speaker 4: the er and because of my history of cancer, because
Speaker 4: of all the chemotherapy. My heart is ten years older
Speaker 4: than it's supposed to be, so I actually have a
Speaker 4: seventy year old hard as a post to a sixty
Speaker 4: year old.
Speaker 1: Dart and blah blah, blah blah.
Speaker 4: They they got me in ahead of there are people
Speaker 4: bleeding and moaning in the er, and they moved me
Speaker 4: ahead of the moan and bleeding people and stripped me
Speaker 4: down and had the things all over me, and I
Speaker 4: got to all kinds of ultrasounds and X rays and
Speaker 4: all this different sort of stuff, and they thought I
Speaker 4: was probably gonna have to spend the night, but finally
Speaker 4: landed on you just drink too much coffee, dude.
Speaker 2: Has it recurred at all?
Speaker 4: No, although I cut way back on my coffee because
Speaker 4: I'm going through one of those periods where if I'd
Speaker 4: drink a half a cup, it makes me feel like
Speaker 4: my head's gonna explode.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So did they get into what's causing the arrhythmia thing?
Speaker 1: I think we're all waiting on you, not for you personally,
Speaker 1: the rates you're just talking about, because I think everybody's thinking,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, why.
Speaker 4: No, No, they don't they throw in obesity. Obesity is
Speaker 4: a big thing. I mean, we're way, way, way fatter
Speaker 4: than we were.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe your heart just can't handle pumping all the
Speaker 4: blood through you know, the donut juice and everything else
Speaker 4: you got in you.
Speaker 2: Again, one job, heart, one job, keep it up.
Speaker 1: Well did you So?
Speaker 2: Did you feel funny before your watch went off?
Speaker 5: Or did your watch go off and you had like
Speaker 5: an OS moment like I need to I'm, you know,
Speaker 5: having some kind of a medical thing, like did the
Speaker 5: watch trigger something in your head?
Speaker 4: I felt a little funny, okay, Yeah, And the fact
Speaker 4: that my son said my whole head was beat red
Speaker 4: the night before when I felt a little funny, So
Speaker 4: I thought, I actually thought I was having one of
Speaker 4: those David Letterman, Larry King, Bill Clinton things where like
Speaker 4: They're going to crack me open and do a giant.
Speaker 1: Heart surgery on me this afternoon. But I didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just said, you're getting older, you can't drink
Speaker 4: so much coffee, go home, you lose her.
Speaker 1: They didn't say you lose her, but I get to
Speaker 1: imply it. Yes, it was implied.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, Well.
Speaker 1: But how about heart attacks being down ninety percent in
Speaker 1: the last five century.
Speaker 2: It's amazing it is. Yeah, it's it's it lives on.
Speaker 4: As a like cultural that's gonna give me a heart
Speaker 4: attack or almost had a heart attack or whatever, like.
Speaker 1: It's common, but it's not common anymore. Yeah, I've had cardiologists,
Speaker 1: doctors of various stripes say to me that the statins
Speaker 1: in particular are the most the greatest life saving drug
Speaker 1: that's ever been developed. Really because your your arteries, if
Speaker 1: you know anything about you know, heart disease, your your
Speaker 1: arteries just don't get clogged with plaque like they used to.
Speaker 1: And they've found out that dietary cholesterol has little to do,
Speaker 1: very little to do with your blood cholesterol level. So
Speaker 1: my poor dad, who back in the day when they
Speaker 1: first started testing for this, was wolfing down oat muffins
Speaker 1: because there was a belief that oats could help you
Speaker 1: lower your cholesterol. No, it's just it's a genetic thing. Mostly.
Speaker 1: It's like I was talking to a doctor friend of
Speaker 1: mine who is an enthusiastic cigar smoker, and he was
Speaker 1: talking about how he and a bunch of his doctor
Speaker 1: buddy smoked cigars all the time.
Speaker 2: And I don't, partly out.
Speaker 1: Of fear of mouths and throat cancer and that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, And he said, all the docs say the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's genetics, you know, dumbia. Now, that is
Speaker 1: not an endorsement of smoking, by the way, I'm well
Speaker 1: aware of, you know.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But he said, no, if your genetics don't run toward
Speaker 1: developing cancer, you're just mathematically speaking. It's a completely different
Speaker 1: question than somebody whose family history does include that.
Speaker 4: Do you know how dumb you feel walking to your
Speaker 4: car from the er when the doctor has told you
Speaker 4: you drink too much coffee?
Speaker 1: You idiots?
Speaker 2: They like, if I went as a woman, I think
Speaker 2: I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1: You just ate an entire cheesecake. Go home, you got
Speaker 1: a food baby. It was embarrassing.
Speaker 2: That's to be safe, though, yeah, is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I suppose it is. If you have kids again,
Speaker 1: if your heart is hammering in one hundred and three
Speaker 1: five beats per minute while you're sitting still, yes, best
Speaker 1: to be safe.
Speaker 4: If you ever want to get into the er fast.
Speaker 4: I don't want people to abuse this, but anything heart related.
Speaker 4: They move you to the front of the line over
Speaker 4: a moan and bleeding leg bone sticking out of your
Speaker 4: pants guy, he has to wait for you in your heart.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Mona Bleedy, this guy's gotta go first.
Speaker 4: Sorry about your bone sticking out, but this guy's in
Speaker 4: there first, all right.
Speaker 1: More on the way.
Speaker 6: Deep gratitude and recognition to the incredible drag performers who
Speaker 6: joined us this morning, Aqua Flora and Isaiah Esquires joining
Speaker 6: us on the house floor today, in addition to all
Speaker 6: of the LGBTQ plus folks and the build.
Speaker 1: Ding on the house floor. That's the Oregon House floor
Speaker 1: that had a big drag dance show and were thanked
Speaker 1: by one of the representatives there, mister Nelson of Oregon
Speaker 1: and freaking believable.
Speaker 4: I saw an ad on TV yesterday while we're on
Speaker 4: the air. It got my attention because there was this
Speaker 4: bald headed, half naked dude in like pink thigh high
Speaker 4: boots and feather bowood dancing around and it was just
Speaker 4: him and then there's the camera panned out you could
Speaker 4: see it was a city, and then they panned out
Speaker 4: further and then it just said Portland, where you can
Speaker 4: be weird. And it was an advertisement for like visiting Portland,
Speaker 4: and I thought that's going to appeal to some people, but.
Speaker 1: There's an awful lot of people. You're gonna say, Okay,
Speaker 1: well I'm not going to Portland. Yeah yeah, interesting targeted marketing,
Speaker 1: I guess. By the way, on that topic, I finished
Speaker 1: that article. Andrew Sullivan wrote for The New York Times
Speaker 1: how the gay rights movement radicalized and lost its way.
Speaker 1: It's really really good. We'll posted at Armstrong and giddy
Speaker 1: dot com for you. But this is I want to
Speaker 1: squeeze this in. This is speaking of state representatives. This
Speaker 1: is Carl Demayo, who's uh one of the and there
Speaker 1: actually are some Republicans in the California State Assembly. He
Speaker 1: was giving a very eloquent speech the other day that
Speaker 1: I really appreciated. The Assembly was going to pass a
Speaker 1: Pride Month resolution, but the Democrats, instead of having it
Speaker 1: be you know, up with gay rights, they included stuff
Speaker 1: about transgender boys playing in girls sports and men in
Speaker 1: women's locker rooms, and how great that was, and how
Speaker 1: experimental mutilations of children removing healthy breasts and pumping them
Speaker 1: full of hormones, et cetera was just a wonderful thing.
Speaker 1: And he was making the point, as an openly gay man,
Speaker 1: we had a chance to be unanimous here to support
Speaker 1: gay Americans, and instead you had to throw in this
Speaker 1: radical crap. You're gonna hear what happened during his speech.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and roll at Michael.
Speaker 4: This resolution doesn't We've shortened it, We've edited it for
Speaker 4: you and respect the LGBT community.
Speaker 7: Mister Demio, it's very mister Demio.
Speaker 8: Please, mister just a moment, mister reiding clerk, can you
Speaker 8: hold mister Demayo's time? Sorry, I have a very important
Speaker 8: announcement today, mister Juan Carrio.
Speaker 7: I understand it's your birthday today. Members, will you.
Speaker 8: Join me in wishing mister Carrio a very happy birthday today?
Speaker 8: Wishing you many happy returns, mister Carriole, enjoy your day.
Speaker 7: Mister Demia, you may continue and.
Speaker 2: Thank you for holding my time.
Speaker 1: Put a yes vote on the record, not just lay off,
Speaker 1: but put a yes vote on the record.
Speaker 8: Mister Demos, just one moment, please, just a moment. We're
Speaker 8: going to excuse me, mister Demyo. Just a moment, mister
Speaker 8: reiding clerk, can you hold mister Demyo's time. Members, You'll
Speaker 8: have to forgive me, but on Thursday last week I
Speaker 8: forgot it was Damon Connolly's birthday.
Speaker 7: Can you please join me in welcoming i't you Happy birthday,
Speaker 7: Damon Connaway. We love you, mister Connolly. We love you
Speaker 7: so much. Mister Demiah, please continue.
Speaker 5: Look, all the interruptions don't change the fact that this resolution.
Speaker 7: Mister Demayo, I'm gonna have to interrupt you one more time.
Speaker 7: Maybe you don't mind, sir, if.
Speaker 8: You wouldn't mind waiting, mister reading clerk, can you hold
Speaker 8: his time remembers I'm unsure if you're aware, But tomorrow
Speaker 8: is mister Gibson's birthday.
Speaker 7: Can you all join me and Gibson a very very
Speaker 7: happy birthday.
Speaker 1: I'll let it roll with hill.
Speaker 7: Happy birthday, mister Gibson, Happy birthday. We love you. Mister Demio.
Speaker 8: You have one minute and four seconds remaining. Member, Sir
Speaker 8: decorm please please continue. Mister Demayo, this.
Speaker 2: Is not about affirming the LGBT community.
Speaker 5: It's about using them as a political pawn to divide us.
Speaker 8: Thirty seconds when you had an opportunity to unite us,
Speaker 8: you chose division.
Speaker 7: You're out of order, mister Demayo. You're out of order.
Speaker 2: I was voting four times, four times.
Speaker 1: The speaker of the Assembly interrupted Carl Demayo to humiliate him,
Speaker 1: to force his obedience, to interrupt his speech as an
Speaker 1: openly gay man about the Pride Month's declaration by the Assembly.
Speaker 2: It was disgusting.
Speaker 1: I've not seen that sort of intentional rubbing your face
Speaker 1: in it humiliation in government ever before. That is something.
Speaker 1: It's the California State Assembly. Wow, I know it's disgusting.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't let him speak one party state?
Speaker 1: How do you like that? Hey, mister Assembly speaker, you'd
Speaker 1: made a hell of a good Nazi. You'd have made
Speaker 1: a great Nazi.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 9: But one of the interesting things that the Israeli intelligence
Speaker 9: learned over the last twenty four hours is that in Forordaho,
Speaker 9: the damages are also inside the compound underground. There there
Speaker 9: is intelligence that shows that there's been internal collapse, underground
Speaker 9: collapse inside the facility, which is something that shows us
Speaker 9: that it was badly damaged. Because if you have centrifuges
Speaker 9: in this facility and there was a penetration of a
Speaker 9: bomb inside and there was collapse inside, then those centrifuges
Speaker 9: are gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're fairly sensitive pieces of equipment. From what I understand,
Speaker 1: the nuclear centrifuges. Anyway, that's a report from Baraq Revied
Speaker 1: on the lead. The attacks seem to have gone very
Speaker 1: very well, setting Iran's nuclear program back and on specized
Speaker 1: unspecified amount of time.
Speaker 2: We'll have to figure out how much.
Speaker 1: And so far there's just no sign of all of
Speaker 1: the stuff that some of the harem scareum people of
Speaker 1: the Tucker Carlson flavor predicted. And I just wanted to
Speaker 1: take a look at how significant is that crowd, the
Speaker 1: Bannon Tucker crowd. How seriously should they be taken. I mean,
Speaker 1: for instance, Tom Cotton, who I believe to be extremely
Speaker 1: intelligent and as uncalculated as a politician can be. He's
Speaker 1: like the anti Josh Hawley. Josh is brilliant, but he
Speaker 1: is a schemer. I'd love to hear Tom Cotton's opinion
Speaker 1: of Josh Holly and jd Vance, another very very smart guy,
Speaker 1: but who takes a lot of time figuring out which
Speaker 1: way the wind blows. I think Tom Cotton just speaks
Speaker 1: his mind. I don't know, would you agree, Jacker, Am
Speaker 1: I being too fanboyish? No, he's definitely closer to that
Speaker 1: than most. Yeah. So, anyway, during a closed door meeting
Speaker 1: yesterday or Tuesday. Tom Cotton's colleagues were laughing as he
Speaker 1: listed off predictions by Tucker Carlson about what would happen
Speaker 1: in a war to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: According to Axios, Cotton urged senators to treat online conservative
Speaker 1: influencers like they treat MSNBC hosts ignore them. Cotton presented
Speaker 1: polling showing GOP support for President Trump's actions on Iran
Speaker 1: during the Senate Republican lunch. He didn't specifically name Carlson,
Speaker 1: but he listed parts of a June fourth Carlson post
Speaker 1: on X about the potential ramifications of a war with Iran,
Speaker 1: including thirty dollars a gallon gas, runaway inflation, and World
Speaker 1: War three, which we would lose.
Speaker 4: Would happen if we stopped Iran meeting a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 4: If we let them get a nuclear weapon, none of
Speaker 4: those things would occur. I guess I don't know. Again,
Speaker 4: Tucker has an audience, and he knows how to please them.
Speaker 4: I frequently find his arguments nonsensical if you really look
Speaker 4: at him. Tom Cotton's absolutely of the interventionist bent, so
Speaker 4: well take his opinion with a great assault.
Speaker 1: If you think he's part of the problem. That's fine,
Speaker 1: I get that, but it's an interesting comment politically. Then
Speaker 1: you have this from Carl Rove, who is obviously a
Speaker 1: traditional Republican, the you know, isolationist mirage.
Speaker 4: Yes, just on something you said, you know, the whole
Speaker 4: forever war argument. No more forever wars. I complained earlier
Speaker 4: and longer about being in Afghanistan than most people I
Speaker 4: heard in media.
Speaker 2: True, I couldn't understand what we were doing, why we
Speaker 2: were there for so long.
Speaker 1: But Afghanistan has got nothing to do with Iran.
Speaker 4: I don't see any parallels other that they're in the
Speaker 4: same rough part of the world.
Speaker 1: Other than that, I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Same with Rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wildly different scenario. So Carl Rove is writing that
Speaker 1: neo isolationists argue mister Trump abandoned his MAGA base, predicted
Speaker 1: the immediate outbreak of a great Middle Eastern War, wrong
Speaker 1: on all counts, blah blah blah. And then he gets
Speaker 1: into a poll that was conducted by Beacon Research and
Speaker 1: Shawn Company Research. Now, admittedly, because my hallmark is fairness
Speaker 1: and yelling at the staff, but mostly fairness, I think
Speaker 1: it's the other one. Mostly fairness, Michael, doesn't make me
Speaker 1: come in there anyway. Uh. In fairness, if the Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan Institute is going to commission a poll, they're looking
Speaker 1: for a certain sort of result, and I recognize that.
Speaker 1: But the poll found that when it comes to international events,
Speaker 1: two thirds of Americans think it is better for the
Speaker 1: US quote to be more engaged and take the lead,
Speaker 1: compared to twenty three percent who believe it's better quote
Speaker 1: to be less engaged and react to events marked pro
Speaker 1: international involvement. Shift from last November, the numbers appear to
Speaker 1: have shifted by about nine percent, which is interesting, but
Speaker 1: when you dig into the partisan numbers, things look even
Speaker 1: worse for the neo isolationist case. Among Democrats, support from
Speaker 1: being more engaged is sixty five percent, among independents fifty percent.
Speaker 1: The biggest supporters are Republican is is sixty nine percent,
Speaker 1: and particularly self identified MAGA supporters seventy three percent of
Speaker 1: whom are more pro are pro more engagement. Take those
Speaker 1: numbers with a grain of salt, but I think you
Speaker 1: certainly have to admit that the online right of the
Speaker 1: Tucker carlsonesque variety gets much more attention than it deserves.
Speaker 1: Having said that, no doubt his reception at the Republican Convention.
Speaker 1: He is practically rapturous. Yeah, although grain assault in my
Speaker 1: grain assault. That was before he'd come out saying some
Speaker 1: of the more wacky things he's been saying lately. Both true,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I was in the room when he walked out, and
Speaker 4: it was standing ovation, like, oh my god, there's Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 4: He had one of the biggest, if not the biggest
Speaker 4: receptions of anybody that week outside of Trump.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then you have this from the Free Press. This
Speaker 1: is Eli Lake. They predicted World War three. They were wrong.
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson his allies claimed to speak for the MAGA
Speaker 1: rank and file on Iran, but there at odds with
Speaker 1: the voters and reality, and he gets into a completely
Speaker 1: different pole that shows that the previous pole is probably
Speaker 1: right again, just the lumping them all together, you know.
Speaker 4: An interventionist like like, there's one kinds sighting we're gonna
Speaker 4: make Afghanistan a democracy against their will is so different
Speaker 4: from stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1: It's just.
Speaker 4: It's like, uh, I tried to have a pet elephant
Speaker 4: and it went very poorly. So I'm never going to
Speaker 4: get a dog.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Yeah, a silly metaphor, but an enjoyable one,
Speaker 1: and I get your point, so Eli Lake writes on
Speaker 1: his podcast. Carlson responded on air to the first reports
Speaker 1: of Iranian strikes on that US air base and Cutter,
Speaker 1: which they telegraphed to us. It was a few missiles
Speaker 1: and they even said publicly, look, we didn't want to
Speaker 1: kill anybody. We just had to be seen doing something.
Speaker 1: But Carlson said, oh, this is just sad on every level,
Speaker 1: placed his hand on his heart literally after reading the
Speaker 1: initial report from Axios. Carlson said he was praying for
Speaker 1: America and quote, I hope that people who have audiences
Speaker 1: will be respond possible. We'll remember that, like life is short,
Speaker 1: you're going to have to give an account. Then he
Speaker 1: mentions that in June fifth he laid out that a
Speaker 1: war with Iran would amount to a profound betrayal of
Speaker 1: Trump supporters. It would end his presidency. The first week
Speaker 1: of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans.
Speaker 1: It would collapse our economy, surging oil prices, unmanageable inflation,
Speaker 1: consider the effects of thirty dollars gasoline. He predicted, but
Speaker 1: there's more that isn't quoting as often. While it's often
Speaker 1: described as a rogue state, Iran has powerful allies. It's
Speaker 1: now part of a global block called Bricks, which represents
Speaker 1: the majority of the world's land mass, population, economy, and
Speaker 1: military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia. It
Speaker 1: sells the overwhelming majority of its oil experts to experts
Speaker 1: to China. Iran isn't alone. An attack in Iran could
Speaker 1: very easily become a world war. We'd lose.
Speaker 4: And they are so powerful that we should let them
Speaker 4: get a nuclear weapon rather than stop them.
Speaker 1: I just don't get that. And the Bricks powers did nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: including things that they were kind of obligated to do.
Speaker 2: They're like, we want no part of this.
Speaker 4: How come Putin hasn't just given Ran a nuke. I
Speaker 4: realized I'd be in violation of all stuff, but because
Speaker 4: that's the last effing thing he wants. Their alliance is
Speaker 4: based purely on opposition to the United States. It's it's
Speaker 4: a snapping, snarling pit bull of a country, but it's
Speaker 4: snapping and snarling in his geopolitical adversary, so he keeps
Speaker 4: it at the end of a long stick says, snap
Speaker 4: and snarl, here's some dog food. But no, the idea
Speaker 4: of to engage in my own silly metaphor, the idea
Speaker 4: of like turning that pit bull loose in his house,
Speaker 4: No effing way. Candice Owns, who couldn't let a good
Speaker 4: geopolitical crisis distract her from obsession with Jews, posted this
Speaker 4: beauty on June thirteenth. Our foreign policy is dictated by Israel.
Speaker 4: Trump will continue to do as he is told by
Speaker 4: Net and Yahoo.
Speaker 1: If you want to know what America will do, spare
Speaker 1: yourself to fake White House price briefings and start listening
Speaker 1: to BBI. Two days later, she outed herself, get ready,
Speaker 1: white American men, it's time for you to go die
Speaker 1: for Israel again. If you don't want to die for Israel,
Speaker 1: then you are an anti Semite. Sign up to die
Speaker 1: in Iran for Net, Yahoo today, or just admit you
Speaker 1: hate Jews.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we've been trying to figure out how big that
Speaker 1: crowd is for a long time. Rough only exists. We
Speaker 1: get text from you all the time, super vocal, super committed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: see your replies on Twitter, et cetera. Yeah, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: one of the great challenges of the modern world. Figuring
Speaker 1: out how the volume of one particular point of view
Speaker 1: relates to the actual number of people making that volume.
Speaker 4: Well, it's so misleading. Just look at the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: I mean, they've been tying themselves in knots now for
Speaker 4: quite a few years because of the Twitter left, which
Speaker 4: is much smaller than they think it is.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I kinda sort of half of me
Speaker 1: hopes they take the wrong message from old mom Donnie
Speaker 1: in New York and not that he was a charismatic, young, hip,
Speaker 1: energetic campaigner who fooled young people into thinking rent control works.
Speaker 1: They it's a horrible candidate.
Speaker 2: Oh, a despicable candidate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, A part of me hopes the Democratic Party decides, yes,
Speaker 1: his policies are good, that's why people like it. We
Speaker 1: need to go in that direction when nothing could be
Speaker 1: further from the truth. New York is a special case.
Speaker 1: They elected freaking AOC for instance. Man, AOC. She is
Speaker 1: she is not done. She is not done. She's a
Speaker 1: life left. Oh yeah, yeah, you think that presents an
Speaker 1: energetic force. But again, how big is that energetic force?
Speaker 1: How much attention should be paid to them?
Speaker 4: If I'm a Democrat I almost think we have to
Speaker 4: go through our AOC is the nominee period to get
Speaker 4: back to relevancy and normalcy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I'm always saying about progressive policies. The
Speaker 1: only way to get rid of wacky doodle candidates like
Speaker 1: that is to actually run one, have her humiliated, and
Speaker 1: then say, Okay, the adults are back in charge, and
Speaker 1: then you run a reasonable, sharp guy like Joe Biden.
Speaker 4: Joe's a big fan of heckling at baseball games. Joe's
Speaker 4: got good some good heckles. Maybe we'll talk about those
Speaker 4: coming up. But man, there was some heckling going on
Speaker 4: at a baseball game yesterday.
Speaker 2: It was horrible.
Speaker 1: They should have kicked the person out of the stadium.
Speaker 1: He's been banned for life. For life a heckle so
Speaker 1: bad your ban? Can you imagine? We'll explain, yeah, well
Speaker 1: you should be among other things. We'll finish strong next.
Speaker 10: A fan has been banned after heckling Diamondback second baseman KETTL. Marte,
Speaker 10: manager Tory Lavulo jumping into comfort him after a fan
Speaker 10: heckled him about his late mother, who was killed in
Speaker 10: a car accident in twenty seventeen. Marte was visibly upset
Speaker 10: with tears in his eyes as his teammates consoled him
Speaker 10: during a pitching change.
Speaker 1: The fan has been banned, I understand, Katie, Is that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fan.
Speaker 5: He was kicked out of the game. He has been
Speaker 5: banned for life from all stadiums. And I'm not going
Speaker 5: to say his name, but the Internet got ahold of
Speaker 5: him and he's being dosed everywhere.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, how I feel about that, But he's maybe
Speaker 1: maybe nineteen or twenty. You certainly brought it on yourself,
Speaker 1: you imbecile. Yeah, yeah, I say, give mister Marte five
Speaker 1: minutes with the man in a bat, but yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: what an odd twist though. The Internet's figured out who
Speaker 1: he is and is doing what thet does. Yeah, angry mob,
Speaker 1: even if they're carrying out your wishes, is not a
Speaker 1: lovely thing. Well, and part of.
Speaker 4: What probably makes a nineteen year old think they should
Speaker 4: or could do this sort of things. You've been living
Speaker 4: your life online anonymously saying whatever the hell you want
Speaker 4: to say to people in a way that nobody ever
Speaker 4: said things prior to you know, ten years ago. He
Speaker 4: just never ever said stuff like this to anyone ever.
Speaker 4: But now everyone does constantly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I once sat next to a guy at
Speaker 1: a Cubs game who is the best heckler I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: I always had a loud voice as a kid, and
Speaker 1: I'd go to like April games at Wrigley Field that
Speaker 1: back in the day before it was like a tourist attraction.
Speaker 1: There would be, you know, to thirty four hundred people.
Speaker 1: If you were a nineteen year old with a really
Speaker 1: loud voice, you could be heard. But I sat next
Speaker 1: to this guy, and I kicked myself to this day.
Speaker 1: I didn't write down everything he yelled because he had
Speaker 1: like outfielders giggling with his heckles, and they weren't like horrible.
Speaker 1: It was of the flavor of and this is not
Speaker 1: one of them. But the flavor was like a guy
Speaker 1: would make a bad play and he'd yell, hey, maybe
Speaker 1: tried the glove on the other hand, you know that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. It was medium, clever, loud, and again
Speaker 1: there were actually times that the ballplayers would be giggling
Speaker 1: listening to this guy.
Speaker 2: He was brilliant.
Speaker 1: I wish I knew his name.
Speaker 4: Serious stuff. But this has happened while we've been on
Speaker 4: the air. Anderson Cooper on CNN. He's in Tel Aviv
Speaker 4: on a Norman Rule, former CIA senior operations manager.
Speaker 1: Who set on CNN.
Speaker 4: I am confident this attack has set back around a
Speaker 4: very very long time.
Speaker 1: So that was on CNN today week New York. We
Speaker 1: take some clips from him earlier this week. Very good
Speaker 1: guy in New York.
Speaker 4: Times is out today with this because it just happened
Speaker 4: a little bit ago on French radio, which I don't
Speaker 4: listen to French radio.
Speaker 1: Centrifugias at the.
Speaker 4: Fordoh uranium richment plant in Iran are no longer operational
Speaker 4: after the US attacked the facility, according to Rafael Grossi,
Speaker 4: the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. He
Speaker 4: said that on French radio a little bit ago. So
Speaker 4: those initial reports that were leaked by purpose by somebody
Speaker 4: with an agenda shouldn't have gotten near the attention that
Speaker 4: they got. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up their show as
Speaker 4: they always do with final thoughts anyway, I went.
Speaker 2: To, Okay, well that's low effort. Here's your host for
Speaker 2: Final Ball. It's a Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: There was no effort. Let's get a final thought from
Speaker 1: everybody on the crew to wrap up the show for
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 1: He is our technical director, Mike Langelo Michael which final thought,
Speaker 1: allod morning, I've.
Speaker 5: Been thinking about Jack armstrowng getting plastic surgery and whether
Speaker 5: I would say anything when he comes into the studio.
Speaker 1: Well, I say, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Jack, what did you do to yourself? Or well I
Speaker 2: just keep quiet. Oh.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't get it done to where it would be
Speaker 4: like overwhelmingly noticeable.
Speaker 1: It would be subtle. That's the whole point. Not at first,
Speaker 1: Kenny Rodgers, not at first, Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman.
Speaker 2: As a final thought for us, Katie, you brought back
Speaker 2: a memory.
Speaker 5: I used to go to the Giants games and I
Speaker 5: would go down into the bleachers because there was a
Speaker 5: guy that was their every home game and.
Speaker 2: He would do the same. The outfielders would be laughing
Speaker 2: and it was so much fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, again, I wish I had tapes of the guy.
Speaker 2: Uh Jack.
Speaker 4: A final thought for us, Damn'm contemplating getting a neck tuck,
Speaker 4: which my thirteen year old city would make fun of
Speaker 4: me for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: Of me if I did that.
Speaker 4: But I just, you know, the subtle, just like I
Speaker 4: just look a little fresher and younger. When I come
Speaker 4: into work one day, oh bruised and oozing o.
Speaker 1: Bru to loosing our original air names.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 1: My final thought is, I'm going to the gym today.
Speaker 2: Cool. Good for you.
Speaker 1: I'm going to the gym today.
Speaker 2: I am not going to not go to the gym.
Speaker 2: I'm going to the gym.
Speaker 4: I haven't missed a day in a long time, and
Speaker 4: I'm worried about going on vacation. Is gonna get me
Speaker 4: out of the rhythm. Because you get your break, do
Speaker 4: you break the streak? It's hard to get back into
Speaker 4: it sometimes. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four
Speaker 4: hour workday, so.
Speaker 1: Many people, thanks, so little time. Go to Armstrong you
Speaker 1: getdy dot com, hotlings Katie's corner, pick up some swag.

Speaker 2: I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 1: There are two ways to look at this.
Speaker 2: Where shide are you all? This is a national emergency.
Speaker 2: Let me say Let me say one thing, bro, I
Speaker 2: just wasn't in the mood to hear P and T
Speaker 2: for some reason.
Speaker 1: Well, you need to wake the hell up, Wake up
Speaker 1: and see the penis in the locker room.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see the p in the locker room, though.

Speaker 2: Getty
