Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Jackie and he arms rang yet Why from Studio C.
Speaker 1: Sennor deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Giddy
Speaker 1: Intornation Complex. This is The Armstrong Getty Show live on
Speaker 1: this Friday, June the twenty seventh, the year of Our Lord,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, the last show before vacation. In fact,
Speaker 1: Jack is already on vacation, winging his way towards sunny
Speaker 1: flo with his voice for an Independence Day holiday. Speaking
Speaker 1: of which, Speaking of which, we have a lot of
Speaker 1: great guests today to talk about not only the events
Speaker 1: of the day, but Independence Day, the United States, our history,
Speaker 1: our Constitution. The fabulous Tim Sandefer is going to join
Speaker 1: us for an hour to talk about the Declaration of
Speaker 1: Independence and more specifically, how the Declaration of Independence is,
Speaker 1: as he put it in the title of his excellent
Speaker 1: book that came out a few years ago, the conscience
Speaker 1: of the Constitution, and how the balance of liberty versus
Speaker 1: democracy has gotten way off kilter in our country and
Speaker 1: that we need to continue to pull it back towards
Speaker 1: liberty as hard and as fast as we can, the
Speaker 1: idea being that the whole intent to this country was
Speaker 1: that the no matter what the majority wanted, you could
Speaker 1: not vote away liberty. You could not vote government control
Speaker 1: in the wet blanket, the suffocating, wet blanket of government
Speaker 1: over intervention into all of our lives and businesses. I
Speaker 1: hear what you say, too late, Joe, too late. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you're right. But I suppose the choice then becomes, do
Speaker 1: we do whatever we can to make it better or
Speaker 1: do we just let it become worse for our kids
Speaker 1: and our grandkids and posterity, etc. So anyway, I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to that conversation. I'm going to talk to Congressman
Speaker 1: Kevin Kyley, one of our absolute faves from the House representatives,
Speaker 1: about a couple of different things, including cal Unicornia being
Speaker 1: busted by the Justice Department for violating Title nine, specifically
Speaker 1: letting dudes into girls' locker rooms and letting dudes whoop
Speaker 1: up on girls on the sports field, absolutely disgusting. And
Speaker 1: we're also looking forward to a conversation with Senator Roger
Speaker 1: Marshall of the Great State of Kansas about how the
Speaker 1: Big beautiful bill is coming, among other things, and specifically
Speaker 1: I want to talk to him about some of the
Speaker 1: measures in the world of education that are contained in
Speaker 1: that bill. It's flown so far under the radar, mostly
Speaker 1: because of the incredibly exciting and action packed international news
Speaker 1: these days, specifically you know, Visa, Iran and Israel. But
Speaker 1: there are some really interesting inroads being made, the battle
Speaker 1: lines being moved forward in the war against number one
Speaker 1: woke education but number two, and I was going to
Speaker 1: say maybe more importantly, but boy, they're both so important.
Speaker 1: But also the war against completely ineffective, union choked, useless
Speaker 1: government schools. What can we do to stim mulate competition
Speaker 1: and education, which might be the most important thing we
Speaker 1: can do as a country. It speaking of posterity in
Speaker 1: our kids and our grandkids. Boy, if we're serving them
Speaker 1: as ill as we've been with our government education system
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, oh my goodness, may history,
Speaker 1: you know, dig up our graves and kick our bones.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got to do better than that. So anyway,
Speaker 1: looking forward to that, and that's not even all of
Speaker 1: what we're doing. I just didn't want to, you know,
Speaker 1: make a list too long, so I hope you can
Speaker 1: stay tuned, Hope you enjoy it. This morning, we're tootling
Speaker 1: under the I'm sorry, we're laboring under the tutelage. I
Speaker 1: always say that. I want to say, we're tootling under
Speaker 1: the laborage, which is it rolls off the tongue. Katie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should change doctor Susian. Yeah, yeah, to hell with it.
Speaker 1: It's my, it's my, it's my Yogi beara esque signature phrase.
Speaker 1: This morning, we're tootling under the laborage of General Manager,
Speaker 1: Operation Narnia. You remember Operation Midnight Hammer, the very trumpy name,
Speaker 1: very trumpy name for us successfully executing that incredible, mind
Speaker 1: boggling mission of the thirty seven hour round trip the
Speaker 1: B two bombers and the bunker busters and the rest
Speaker 1: of it. And it's one of those things you know.
Speaker 1: None of us I'm well, actually some of your listening
Speaker 1: probably do know what it takes. But none of us
Speaker 1: here fully appreciated the complexity of the mission. I mean,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty aircraft were involved, going thousands of
Speaker 1: miles back and forth. And the more you learn, the
Speaker 1: more in awe you are of the capabilities of the
Speaker 1: United States military. Appropriately so well, Operation Narnia was the
Speaker 1: name of the Israeli mission, which included not only the
Speaker 1: bombings of the facilities, but the super targeted knocking off
Speaker 1: of the various nuclear scientists and military leaders practically simultaneously.
Speaker 1: Years in the planning. Just astounding sophistication, coordination, and daring.
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to tell you more about that
Speaker 1: a little bit later on the show, because it's it's
Speaker 1: it's just absolutely awe inspiring. But first, why don't we,
Speaker 1: uh we hate to run a foul of FCC rules
Speaker 1: and regulations right before vacation. I have to fill out
Speaker 1: paperwork qulli vacation. So here we go according to the
Speaker 1: FCC rules and REGs. Joke starts fishally at Mark, and.
Speaker 2: The President looks over at me, puts the foreign leader
Speaker 2: on mute and says this is not going very well,
Speaker 2: and he presses the red button and and my eyes
Speaker 2: get really big, and I'm like, mister President, you know
Speaker 2: what what just happened? And he's he looks at me
Speaker 2: and he goes nuclear nuclear.
Speaker 1: And two minutes later, a.
Speaker 2: Guy walks in with a diet coke and he looks
Speaker 2: back at me and he says it wasn't nuclear.
Speaker 1: It's just the diet cook button. And that's.
Speaker 2: So that's the kind of guy, my fellow Republicans, that
Speaker 2: we have as the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: JD. Vance talking about his early days working with Trump
Speaker 1: in the awful, the owful office, not the awful Opus
Speaker 1: was not a fraud instant. I'm sorry. I'm reading and
Speaker 1: talking at the same time. It's my worst habit. So anyway,
Speaker 1: glad you're here, Thanks so much for tuning in. We
Speaker 1: have an action pack show, including not only Katie's Headlines
Speaker 1: next segment, but clips of the week as well. Stay
Speaker 1: with us, looking forward to talking to a military analyst,
Speaker 1: Mike Lyons next segment about a variety of topics, including
Speaker 1: Operation Narnia, the incredibly sophisticated Israeli plan to knock around's
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons program offline for a little while or a
Speaker 1: very long while. I'll find that out together, I suppose,
Speaker 1: among other things, to talk to Mike about. Katie's got
Speaker 1: our headlines in just moments. But first, it's the Friday tradition.
Speaker 1: Let's take a fun look back at the week that was.
Speaker 1: It's cal Clips of the Week where we sold a
Speaker 1: forty year bill of good.
Speaker 3: I think that's a bunch of the biggest load that
Speaker 3: we've seen.
Speaker 1: The whips of the week. It just wasn't in the
Speaker 1: mood to hear P and T for some reason. Well,
Speaker 1: you need to wake the hell up and see the penis.
Speaker 1: That's what makes America great, right, what happened in the
Speaker 1: keys honey? Or oh my god, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You want to come at me, go ahead, but you
Speaker 2: better check with your bones first.
Speaker 1: La Hart was hurt right away when he fell. These
Speaker 1: and page so emotional.
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to AC for kind of teaching us
Speaker 4: how to pop champagne. I guess the.
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks select Cooper fag University. It's might using the
Speaker 1: best place in the world to have herpies.
Speaker 4: The cops here are telling me that it's my fault
Speaker 4: that I put my human body in the street to
Speaker 4: be hit.
Speaker 1: By a motor vehicle.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think that's a bunch of crimes, and I'm very,
Speaker 4: very upset.
Speaker 5: You're not working, you're not going to get a job,
Speaker 5: you're not going to school, you're not doing that.
Speaker 1: But ma, I'm saying, hample to be successful in life.
Speaker 3: Mom legendary Zion zillion Zin and just seeing this where I, uh,
Speaker 3: how many you're missing too?
Speaker 1: I'm missing too.
Speaker 3: And now that your hoods being invaded and the biggest
Speaker 3: gang there is, there ain't a people out you.
Speaker 6: Look, all the interruptions don't change the fact that this resolution.
Speaker 5: Mister Demaia, I'm gonna have to interrupt you one more
Speaker 5: time if you wouldn't mind waiting, mister reading clerk, can
Speaker 5: you hold his time?
Speaker 4: And a stunning upset Democratic socialist Zoran mom Donnie won
Speaker 4: the Democratic mayor Farmer and it's.
Speaker 1: Where the mayor will use their.
Speaker 5: Power to reject Donald Trump's fascism.
Speaker 1: Holy cats, what was that? Who was that? Is anybody hurt? Seriously?
Speaker 1: Who was that? Christian Shinawiff? Yeah? Oh? The Broadway star? Right?
Speaker 1: Is she the Frozen? The guy who's sang the leading Frozen?
Speaker 1: I can't it doesn't matter. Why did I? I don't care?
Speaker 1: Wicked right of course?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Have I ever mentioned to you, Katie,
Speaker 1: how great the novel is Wicked and how completely different
Speaker 1: it is from like the musical and the movie and everything.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's a really intense, complicated political allegory, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, about the Land of Oz and the
Speaker 1: political factions that form and the violence that occurs, and
Speaker 1: it's really interesting, could not be more different than what
Speaker 1: it mutated into as a musical.
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say, I saw the musical and
Speaker 7: that was not part of it.
Speaker 1: Right, right, So I'd imagine. And I can't remember the
Speaker 1: author's name. I'm sure you can google it easily enough,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure they paced back and forth in their
Speaker 1: seventy million dollar mansion saying, mandad they screw up my book.
Speaker 1: It was a really good book. But oh, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Gregory maguire, Yeah, it's it's a terrific
Speaker 1: book anyway. So Hanson, Mike Canson exact, a producer, actually
Speaker 1: put two cows together, two beeves, as Jack would remind
Speaker 1: us if you were here, the cow we just heard,
Speaker 1: plus a midnight Hammer clips of the week completely separately,
Speaker 1: which will squeeze in when we can today if we
Speaker 1: get to it. I don't know. It's an action packed
Speaker 1: show right now. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
Speaker 1: the weak story with Katie Green.
Speaker 7: Katie did it starting with NBC White House to limit
Speaker 7: intelligence sharing with Congress after leak of early Iran report.
Speaker 1: Well, that certainly suggests that they think it was a
Speaker 1: congressional source. M see an end.
Speaker 7: Iran's defense minister thanks China for support on first foreign
Speaker 7: trip since Israel conflict.
Speaker 1: Oh, how desperate are they to find a friend summer anywhere?
Speaker 1: For anything? They'll take it. Oh, speaking of that that
Speaker 1: stupid super preliminary report leak thing, the Washington Post, which
Speaker 1: is just shameless, referred to that leaked report with seriousness
Speaker 1: even today, as if it's They were talking about the
Speaker 1: briefing that the senators got, and how the Democrats came
Speaker 1: out with a completely different story than the Republicans walking
Speaker 1: out of the briefing as if they'd heard different briefings.
Speaker 1: And the Washington Post, with furrowed brow observes that what
Speaker 1: the Republicans claimed was in real contrast to that leaked report,
Speaker 1: which was discredited like an hour after it came out.
Speaker 1: But the WAPO is still leaning on it. Seriously, you people, please.
Speaker 7: From the Wall Street Journal, US futures rise, dollar recovers
Speaker 7: slightly on trade optimism, as Commerce Secretary Lutnick said US
Speaker 7: has reached a trade agreement with China.
Speaker 1: Yeah, China just said, all right, we'll free up the
Speaker 1: rarer stuff, your magnets and the rest of it. Here
Speaker 1: it comes, we're gonna start shipping, so we'll see the
Speaker 1: world's weirdest frenemy relationship chugs on toward what nobody knows.
Speaker 7: From Breitbart dot Com, Republicans subpoena Jill Biden's quote work
Speaker 7: husband for alleged cover up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun and interesting. I still maintain this will
Speaker 1: go nowhere. You're in the business of proving a negative
Speaker 1: that Biden was not cognizant enough to be president and
Speaker 1: and wasn't actively running the show and the rest. And
Speaker 1: then even if you were able to prove that, you
Speaker 1: never will. Now what do you do. You're going to
Speaker 1: impeach the guy. It's got one foot and four toes
Speaker 1: in the grave, flat batt capt care And I know
Speaker 1: scandal's horrible, unbelievable. Historians ought to, you know, kick the
Speaker 1: hell out of the Biden administration for that. But these
Speaker 1: hearings are just kind of show for show.
Speaker 7: I think from the shameless Washington Post, get doj enters
Speaker 7: atf with me to slash gun regulations, get some shame.
Speaker 7: So yeah, dojire going in with ATF They're gonna cut
Speaker 7: upwards of fifty gun regulations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might get easier to buy a suppressor often
Speaker 1: referred to as a silencer, although it doesn't silence or
Speaker 1: a short barreled shotgun. I've got to admit I'm somewhat intrigued. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the idea of people running around with soft off shotguns
Speaker 1: in effect.
Speaker 7: Did boy from Fox News Planned parent hurt hmm, Planned
Speaker 7: Parenthood encourages men to get cervical cancer screening for men's
Speaker 7: health months.
Speaker 1: Well, see that that won't be necessary because men don't
Speaker 1: have cervixes, you see.
Speaker 7: Ah, that must be why men is in quotes for
Speaker 7: this headline, because it's a woman who's pretending to be
Speaker 7: a man.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's weird because women do have cervixes right
Speaker 1: pretty much always, and men never ever have them. So
Speaker 1: it's weird that they would recommend that. Precisely from the
Speaker 1: Creed twisting yourselves into Nazia lunatics, radical gender theory is
Speaker 1: on its way out. It's crazy.
Speaker 7: From the Daily Mail Crisis warning as flesh eating insects
Speaker 7: are found invading the United States through the Mexican.
Speaker 1: Migrant route, oh oh, you gotta stop it, deport them?
Speaker 1: Hey did we never got to the story? Was it yesterday?
Speaker 1: We had the audio about some of the killer bees. Yeah,
Speaker 1: horrendous killer bees of a different sort. I guess are
Speaker 1: now moving into the US. Do you have that story here?
Speaker 1: Failure later? I do, I'll grab it. It was in
Speaker 1: hotlinks yesterday. Obvious solution. We need to form an alliance
Speaker 1: with the Murder Hornets.
Speaker 7: And finally, the Babylon Bee reports from CNN Hiroshima barely
Speaker 7: set back by atomic bomb.
Speaker 1: Oh geminy, that's that's dark, but a really good joke. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are my favorite kinds.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that is dark. The fabulous Mike Lions to
Speaker 1: talk matters Military on the Way Stay with us. If
Speaker 1: you can't grab the podcast, subscribe to Armstrong and Geddy
Speaker 1: on demand. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: The Supreme Leader has taken to the airways for the
Speaker 6: first time since the fighting ended, and he also praised
Speaker 6: Iran's military for what he calls a big victory.
Speaker 8: I would like to congratulate the Great Nation of Iran BYO.
Speaker 8: With all those claims that the Zionis regime were making s,
Speaker 8: they were almost crushed under the blows of the Islamic government.
Speaker 6: At the same time, the Supreme Leader also lashing out
Speaker 6: at the United States and specifically President Trump, saying that
Speaker 6: is it and Trump had called for Iran's unconditional surrender
Speaker 6: and that that simply isn't going to happen.
Speaker 1: Boy, everybody remember bag Dad Bob from the Iraq War,
Speaker 1: the Ayahtola, the great leaders. They're claiming victory. How lovely
Speaker 1: for him. We're joined by a military analyst, Mike Lyons,
Speaker 1: to discuss a handful of topics. Mike, how are you, sir, Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 4: I thought the same thing bag Dad Bob. The level
Speaker 4: of propaganda coming out of Iran right now, I guess
Speaker 4: has to be what it is, as they're now probably
Speaker 4: fighting to make sure other information is not getting into
Speaker 4: the country. But that's exactly right. We've got a repeater
Speaker 4: history from about twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: Right you read in my mind, I was just going
Speaker 1: to say, I can't even imagine what the conversations behind
Speaker 1: the scenes are like there in the halls of power
Speaker 1: in Tehran. It's got to be a combination of you know, frantic, terror,
Speaker 1: stricken and angry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and think about the levels of leadership that have
Speaker 4: been taken out already by the Israelis. Who's giving him
Speaker 4: advice if anything? At the eighty six years old, I
Speaker 4: mean very much isolated. But we don't know or hasn't
Speaker 4: been revealed, who's really, you know, kind of running that country.
Speaker 4: We would have thought but of in the head of
Speaker 4: some of the Republican Guard organizations, but they've been all
Speaker 4: killed off. So I'm we're still watching to see specifically
Speaker 4: what's going to evolve from this. And I know they're
Speaker 4: focusing on the military and the equipment and things, because
Speaker 4: if there's a revolution that that's going to cause a
Speaker 4: lot of problems. But there's so many unknowns right now
Speaker 4: going on. I think it's the beginning of this. If
Speaker 4: there's going to be a revolution there, we're at the
Speaker 4: very beginning stage of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Israelis evidently had some idea of who might
Speaker 1: be in charge, because they had a very carefully targeted list.
Speaker 1: And I was just reading Dove liber has written a
Speaker 1: fantastic account in the Wall Street Journal today about Operation Narnia,
Speaker 1: which within it had Operation red Wetting. Anybody familiar with
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones knows what that refers to, and it
Speaker 1: is the choice of paint and the sophistication mike of
Speaker 1: that mission, those missions within a greater umbrella mission is
Speaker 1: almost mind boggling. How they simultaneously and in a very
Speaker 1: targetive way, took out a handful of very very important
Speaker 1: military leaders, very very important nuclear scientists, while right they
Speaker 1: were bombing the hell out of various critical facilities. It
Speaker 1: boggles the mind.
Speaker 4: And it's because they had planned for this eventually. You know,
Speaker 4: I still believe this was always coming. At some point,
Speaker 4: Israel was going after the Iranian nuclear threat, whether or
Speaker 4: not the Housis and has Balah and all those proxy
Speaker 4: organizations were at full strength or not. So this is
Speaker 4: in the minne of the works for a very long time.
Speaker 4: They're just more creative they you know, they just are.
Speaker 4: They Decapitation has always been part of their strategy. You
Speaker 4: go back to their DNA, go back to wars in
Speaker 4: sixty seven seventy three. They clearly go after the leaders
Speaker 4: and they believe that that's the way that they have
Speaker 4: to win these wars from a country that was what
Speaker 4: nine million people versus a country that's got ninety million people.
Speaker 4: That's part of the issue. This is the only way
Speaker 4: that they could do that.
Speaker 1: It really is quite amazing. And meanwhile, as we've discussed,
Speaker 1: our military performed very, very admirably as well. The missions
Speaker 1: that have been pretty well described at this point just
Speaker 1: absolutely terrific. What did you make of the and I
Speaker 1: shouldn't prejudice this by using the word idiotic, but what
Speaker 1: do you make of the idiotic go around with CNN
Speaker 1: and elked report and various people leaping on that was
Speaker 1: it yesterday in the day before?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I know. I when I had been on CNN,
Speaker 4: I had said that it was likely that it was
Speaker 4: very much destroyed. I mean, we're caveling over months and
Speaker 4: you know how long it's been put back. We just
Speaker 4: don't know until you get the battle damage assessment. I
Speaker 4: think that CNN unfortunately got out a little bit in
Speaker 4: front of themselves as well, and then now they're trying
Speaker 4: to dig out of it unfortunately in a lot of ways.
Speaker 4: But let's the fact that it was Leakes is not good.
Speaker 4: Still shows that there are enemies of this administration inside.
Speaker 4: You've been inside the wire basically, and someone Let's hope
Speaker 4: that they could figure out who that person is. But again,
Speaker 4: a preliminary report two and a half days after the bombing,
Speaker 4: saying it's only been set back two months or it
Speaker 4: just doesn't make any sense from the beginning. And that
Speaker 4: should have been what CNN concluded when they got that.
Speaker 4: They should have said, this is just too crazy and
Speaker 4: it's just not something they should go with.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately they were far from alone too. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Washington Post even this morning is taking that report
Speaker 1: seriously in the midst of a report which is just insane.
Speaker 1: But because I mean, from your perspective as somebody who's
Speaker 1: actually been involved in at least somewhat similar missions, right,
Speaker 1: you don't expect to have immediate feedback, especially something that
Speaker 1: happened on hundred of feet underground. I mean, it's going
Speaker 1: to take a long time to figure out what is
Speaker 1: what at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, And until someone actually goes there and figures
Speaker 4: out what, you know, brings equipment, you know, not shovels,
Speaker 4: as the second sary of event said, but seismic grafts.
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to figure out what's going on underneath
Speaker 4: and try to create images of what the situation looks like.
Speaker 4: And it's an enemy territory, so it's still literally months
Speaker 4: I think, no question. We can speculate that if those
Speaker 4: bombs made it down, and they were designed, like we
Speaker 4: talked about, that bomb was designed to do that one
Speaker 4: mission fifteen years ago. Again, I just love the creativity
Speaker 4: we have now on our side that I'm sure we've
Speaker 4: got other things in the inventory that are specific to
Speaker 4: targets that are out there, But that's exactly right. We
Speaker 4: won't know until we're out there seeing it, looking on
Speaker 4: the ground, looking for seismic equipment to find out specifically
Speaker 4: what's going on underneath the earth.
Speaker 1: We're talking to military analyst Mike Lyons, and Mike, we're
Speaker 1: taken next week off, so I wanted to wish you
Speaker 1: a happy Independence Day and just chat a little bit
Speaker 1: about And you can take this any direction you want.
Speaker 1: It's pract practically a cliche, but well worth discussing always
Speaker 1: how those who've served and fought and died for this
Speaker 1: country have ensured our freedom. And I'm ambivalent about Trump.
Speaker 1: I have some serious complaints about about him. I think
Speaker 1: there are some wonderful things going on, but it is
Speaker 1: absolutely undeniable that the spirit of not only the military,
Speaker 1: but the families that are so critical in supporting our
Speaker 1: military folks, their spirits are lifted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question. What he's done, from my perspective as
Speaker 4: someone whose son serves in the military, is that he's
Speaker 4: restored to terrence to the United States. It's a very
Speaker 4: nineteen eighties moment. I think, just like Lenald Reagan did.
Speaker 4: I mean, frankly, we had presidents in our past, the
Speaker 4: Republicans and Democrats, that did nothing over the Iranian nuclear issue,
Speaker 4: the number one foreign policy failure in my lifetime. And
Speaker 4: finally we've now restored that to terrence, that that capability
Speaker 4: has gone. So from that alone, I just hope the
Speaker 4: rest of the country can kind of catch on a
Speaker 4: little bit. I know that, you know, the politics still
Speaker 4: what they are, The rhetoric still is very overheated. And
Speaker 4: I saw Democratic senators come out of their d and
Speaker 4: I brief yesterday and this one guy Murphy said, still,
Speaker 4: you know, it still only been set back a couple
Speaker 4: of months. I'm just shaking my head that we really
Speaker 4: want to go there. So so again, these are the
Speaker 4: kind of holidays where we celebrate our country, we celebrate
Speaker 4: our freedoms separate aside from being in the military or
Speaker 4: not and what you do. But you know, we've got
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty nine years. Next year will be
Speaker 4: will be two fifty, and I think that's going to
Speaker 4: be a great big birthday for us as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's astounding to me that. I mean, for instance,
Speaker 1: you've got this zoron Mumdani crack Pot, who may well
Speaker 1: be the next mayor of New York, trying to run
Speaker 1: such ideas as rent control of the flag pole. I mean,
Speaker 1: there could be no more discredited idea in the world
Speaker 1: of than that. I mean, it's it's absurd anybody would
Speaker 1: suggest it with a straight face. And on the military
Speaker 1: national security side of things, it's a little frustrating to
Speaker 1: me anyway that at this point you still have to
Speaker 1: make the argument that the stronger we are, the more
Speaker 1: likely there is peace and a deterrent establishing deterrence, like
Speaker 1: you say, that's the way to protect our men and
Speaker 1: women in uniform right.
Speaker 4: And the argument the counter argument where some will say, well,
Speaker 4: you know, mike does not equal right, and I'm like, no, yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe it doesn't, but it equals to terrence. If no
Speaker 4: one will do something because they are afraid that we
Speaker 4: actually will respond, I think that's what that's what makes
Speaker 4: it all about. And that's why we have the military
Speaker 4: we have. Again, nobody could have done that mission in
Speaker 4: the world. That that mission sent signals to the Chinese,
Speaker 4: to the Russians, to everybody out there. And that level
Speaker 4: of deterrence now I think has been restored. And that's
Speaker 4: what this president has done. And there's no everything's about
Speaker 4: recruiting's up. I think people should should be feeling the
Speaker 4: way we felt again back in the ages. I keep
Speaker 4: bringing back to the wax nostalgia for those times because
Speaker 4: I thought that was the time when America was at
Speaker 4: a low point and then we had a president that
Speaker 4: brought us right back.
Speaker 1: Let's hope those lessons stay learned. My client's always a pleasure.
Speaker 1: Thanks a million for the time, Mike, good to talk to you.
Speaker 4: Thanks ye Joe, have great holiday.
Speaker 1: Thank you you too. So on the way, We've got
Speaker 1: a fabulous freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing on
Speaker 1: our series with Clarence Thomas, also mail Bag among other fairs.
Speaker 1: Stay with us.
Speaker 3: So that the Trump administration wants to allow home buyers
Speaker 3: to get a mortgage using crypto. Yeah, be fun to
Speaker 3: see the Zillow's estimates say that your house is worth
Speaker 3: one billion iguana coins.
Speaker 1: That's kind of funny. Oh boy. Coming up, Congressman Kevin
Speaker 1: kyleie to talk about, among other things, California being busted
Speaker 1: by the Justice Deportment for violating Title nine and specifically
Speaker 1: letting men and boys ooch around in women's private spaces,
Speaker 1: including locker rooms and bathrooms and compete on sports fields
Speaker 1: with them just because they pretend they're a girl. Which
Speaker 1: can you imagine would I be in a time machine
Speaker 1: in this scenario or as somebody else anyway? Can you
Speaker 1: imagine me speaking those sentences? Say, just like ten years ago,
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, people would be like, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Men pretending to be women are allowed to
Speaker 1: compete in women's sports just because they're pretending. Do people
Speaker 1: understand that they're pretending or have they gotten away with it?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, everybody knows that they are, but
Speaker 1: they're letting them compete anyway because they say they're girls. Now,
Speaker 1: people would be like, what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I'm turning this off. This is nonsense. How much acid
Speaker 1: has this guy dropped today? Yeah? No kidding, good lord,
Speaker 1: here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Wrapping up,
Speaker 1: I think a series from from the Great Clarence Thomas
Speaker 1: on his I want to check seventy seventh birthday, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which was on Monday. Racialism simply cannot be undone by
Speaker 1: different or more racialism. Instead, the solution announced in the
Speaker 1: Second Founding is incorporated in our constitution that we are
Speaker 1: all equal and should be treated equally before the law,
Speaker 1: without regard to our race. Only that promise can allow
Speaker 1: us to look past our differing skin colors and identities
Speaker 1: and see each other for what we truly are, individuals
Speaker 1: with unique thoughts, perspectives, and goals, but with equal dignity
Speaker 1: and equal rights under the law. People on the left
Speaker 1: call him an Uncle Tom and worse dizgusting mail bag.
Speaker 1: Feel free to drop us a note mail bag at
Speaker 1: Armstrongandgetty dot com. Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 1: Darren who the other day suggested a new a g
Speaker 1: T shirt idea lock up Criminals, not my toothpaste, which
Speaker 1: we like very much as a new one. Globalize the
Speaker 1: empanadas instead of Intofada. You like it. Globalize it with
Speaker 1: a picture of an empanada. Yeah, the delicious, delicious treat
Speaker 1: all right, Darren, I like it. Let's see this from Paul,
Speaker 1: the topic of NATO, what does NATO do with the
Speaker 1: money they get? I never hear anything about it. That's
Speaker 1: actually kind of a misconception, Paul. I mean, they certainly
Speaker 1: do have a budget to run operations at NATO headquarters
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. But what Trump is pressuring
Speaker 1: the NATO members to do is to bring something to
Speaker 1: the party, specifically to bring two percent, then four percent,
Speaker 1: now maybe five percent I hope of their GDP to
Speaker 1: the party in military spending and military preparedness. For a
Speaker 1: very long time, and this is what chapped Trump sars
Speaker 1: so much. For a very long time, the United States
Speaker 1: would show up to the party and say, hey, here's
Speaker 1: a dozen ribbi and half a case of really expensive
Speaker 1: Napa wine for our party. And Britain would say I
Speaker 1: got half a bag of chips, and France would say
Speaker 1: I got a water bottle, and you know the rest
Speaker 1: of the countries would say, yeah, I'll help clean up after.
Speaker 1: And that's no good. That's still good. It might have
Speaker 1: been fine in nineteen forty seven. I get that. And
Speaker 1: there's a parallel with our trade relationship too. National Review
Speaker 1: with a great piece today griping about our trade relationship
Speaker 1: with Europe, which is still I mean, it's evolved somewhat,
Speaker 1: but it still has shades of you're devastated by the war.
Speaker 1: You're pretty much helpless, so you can treat the United
Speaker 1: States like crap in terms of trade, and will be
Speaker 1: super nice to you because you're kind of our little brother.
Speaker 1: You're our tiny, tim little brother leaning on a crutch.
Speaker 1: But it's not true anymore. And Trump's right, we have
Speaker 1: been getting ripped off. But anyway, all those things are changing.
Speaker 1: Paul with a theory about the low number of heart
Speaker 1: attacks these days. Could there be a direct relationship to
Speaker 1: processed and fast foods with laughing emojis? Yeah, wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be something? Turns out, Yeah, preservatives and culture process foods
Speaker 1: prevent heart attacks. No, I think it's probably Statin's and
Speaker 1: blood pressure medication, that sort of thing. Honestly, But with
Speaker 1: the shocking rise in obesity in the country, the fact
Speaker 1: that the heart attack rate is down ninety percent, is
Speaker 1: that what Jack brought us yesterday, Katie, ninety percent? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's miraculous. Crazy note from Rebecca here Gay Here she
Speaker 1: writes the T does not belong with the L or
Speaker 1: the G. They no pronoun respect intended. Need to get
Speaker 1: to their end of the alphabet and leave us alone.
Speaker 1: Love you guys in a totally platonic way, because that's
Speaker 1: how same sex attraction works. It's biological. Follow the science,
Speaker 1: like the left oldest during COVID. Uh. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: Happy Friday to you two. Rebecca, totally down with teamh
Speaker 1: G and Team AL Team B. You asked too much
Speaker 1: out of life. But yeah, that's totally that's for great
Speaker 1: And I want to get back if we were It's
Speaker 1: an action packed show today if we have time. I
Speaker 1: want to get back to the Andrew Sullivan piece that
Speaker 1: The New York Times published. He's a conservative gay man
Speaker 1: and and his point is the gay rights movement turned
Speaker 1: totally radical and went after children, and and that's when
Speaker 1: it turned awful and unsupportable. And andrews one hundred percent right. Uh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Tom and Norcale writes, Hey, guys, let's
Speaker 1: make a deal with the lgbt Q, l M n
Speaker 1: O P community. We'll give the thumbs up to trans
Speaker 1: women being allowed in female only spaces, locker rooms, restrooms,
Speaker 1: et cetera. If they're okay with trans men who are
Speaker 1: women who break the law. Being locked up in male
Speaker 1: only prisons. If they're true adherence to the ideology, they
Speaker 1: would be four. Otherwise their hypocrites. Sounds fair. Keep up
Speaker 1: the good work. Here's the problem, Tom, in a lot
Speaker 1: of you probably miss this. You really ought to listen
Speaker 1: to every show. But there was an unbelievably interesting study
Speaker 1: done about you know, men and women and how they
Speaker 1: offend and what crimes they offend and they break in
Speaker 1: or what crimes they do and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty well traveled ground. But they looked
Speaker 1: at transgender folks as well, and dudes pretending to be
Speaker 1: women the whole trans women, it's too confusing. Dudes pretending
Speaker 1: to be women offended just like men, same crimes in
Speaker 1: the same ways, but worse because there was a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot of sexual assault because you've got somebody
Speaker 1: who is and this is undeniable, sexually confused. And the
Speaker 1: women claiming to be dudes offended just like women. They
Speaker 1: did women's stuff in women ways they're not. They didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, get a few hormone shows and grow wispy mustache,
Speaker 1: then start doing strong arm robberies and knocking over liquor
Speaker 1: stores with machetes. No, they kept acting like women anyway.
Speaker 1: Note from Seawan here. Oh you know what, this is
Speaker 1: really interesting. How much time do we have, Michael, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't have time for this. We'll get to Shawn's
Speaker 1: fascinating email next hour. Talking to Kevin Kyleie, congressman from California,
Speaker 1: next hour about actually some similar stuff to what we
Speaker 1: discussed in mail bag. Hope you can stay around Tim
Speaker 1: Sander for an hour three talking about the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 1: Good Show today, Armstrong and Getty
