Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jettie enough He Armstrong and Yehetty have an updated you
Speaker 1: on this. We probably should have. Control of the House
Speaker 1: is still uncertain as of this time, with more than
Speaker 1: a dozen close races remaining undecided. They're still countant votes.
Speaker 1: Republicans have won two hundred and eleven compared to Democrats
Speaker 1: one ninety nine. The total is four thirty five. Obviously
Speaker 1: you need half or more of that to be in control.
Speaker 1: They're currently leading in enough races, though mostly in Arizona
Speaker 1: and California, which looks like took back a lot of
Speaker 1: spots and created some new ones. It looks like the
Speaker 1: Republicans are definitely going to reach the two hundred and
Speaker 1: eighteen seats needed to hold the majority. Currently have fifty
Speaker 1: three Senate seats, with a possibility of a few more.
Speaker 1: So Donald freaking Trump is easily won and is going
Speaker 1: to have a solid Senate majority and slim to slightly
Speaker 1: more than slim House majority. So be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what the Republicans can do with that.
Speaker 2: Really glad to hear that I just read on day one,
Speaker 2: which is a silly cliche. Really, the first couple of months,
Speaker 2: it'd be fine. But on day one, Trump will sign
Speaker 2: an executive order to cut federal funding for any school
Speaker 2: pushing transgender insanity and other inappropriate sexual content on our children.
Speaker 2: And he will ask Congress to send a bill to
Speaker 2: his desk prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all fifty.
Speaker 1: States, something they've already done in lots of other countries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a number of US states too. It's close
Speaker 2: to the majority at this point. You haven't heard about
Speaker 2: it because it's never reported on by the lying legacy
Speaker 2: media unless it's to point out the horrors of the
Speaker 2: bigotry quote unit quote Anyway, a lot of stuff to
Speaker 2: squeeze into the last hour of the week. But first,
Speaker 2: it's a fond look back at the week that was.
Speaker 2: It's an emotional journey taken by our friends on the
Speaker 2: left side of the aisle. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 1: Look what happened? Is this rare? Is anyone else humming
Speaker 1: the meltdown? You got to put a turd on the
Speaker 1: front of that thing, which for the week.
Speaker 3: I'm exhausted, I'm babbling, I'm doing crazy things with the microphone.
Speaker 2: The American people want to stop the chaos and end
Speaker 2: the DRAMAA.
Speaker 3: It is entirely possible that we will not have the
Speaker 3: opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.
Speaker 1: You have to defeat him.
Speaker 4: They did the kind of guys you're like, just smacking
Speaker 4: the ass.
Speaker 2: America is ready for a fresh start.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be toasting Madam President tonight.
Speaker 3: And it just came over the wires that Joe Rogan
Speaker 3: just endorsed me.
Speaker 1: Is it? People believe they're voting for a way of life.
Speaker 1: Donald Harris is a bigger problem among men than Donald
Speaker 1: Trump does among women. On election night, don't expect to
Speaker 1: know the winner. The winner is Donald Trump only smokes.
Speaker 1: Look what happened? Is this crazy?
Speaker 4: Maybe America great again?
Speaker 5: Clearly fear and anger is what he was marketing, and
Speaker 5: it worked.
Speaker 1: I can't help but wonder if the American people have
Speaker 1: given up on democracy.
Speaker 2: The majority has spoken and they said they don't care
Speaker 2: that much about democracy, and.
Speaker 6: Shall we keep it a lot of our fellow women
Speaker 6: Americans say we shouldn't.
Speaker 1: There's misogyny. Some of the most misogynist things I've heard
Speaker 1: came from Bright me in what the Alice in Wonderland nightmares?
Speaker 1: Is going on? Right now?
Speaker 4: Did we get here?
Speaker 1: And I hope you go jump off of a thick bridge.
Speaker 2: It's the economy, stupid, the revenge of just a regular, old,
Speaker 2: working class America, the anonymous American who has been crushed.
Speaker 1: Do you want to stand up to Trump? I suggest
Speaker 1: you don't ever mention him. I suggest you governed well.
Speaker 1: The American experiment endors We're going to be okay only
Speaker 1: when it is dark enough. Can you see the stars? Marria?
Speaker 1: Lady jaw jaw? Is that the way pronounce it? There
Speaker 1: at the end, I'm singing the national anthem, jajaw Jeebiden.
Speaker 2: I had a thought as we were listening to that,
Speaker 2: and I hope I can express it with the eloquence
Speaker 2: it deserves.
Speaker 1: Don't hold your breath.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of one of those moments, like in high school,
Speaker 2: where a teacher is saying something dumb or whatever, but
Speaker 2: his back is turned as he writes on the chalkboard,
Speaker 2: and all the kids in the school, in the class
Speaker 2: are looking at each other silently kind of given each
Speaker 2: other the nonverbal wink. We all get how silly this is,
Speaker 2: and we're all on the same page. Nothing has to
Speaker 2: be said. It's kind of a fun moment when you
Speaker 2: have those in life. It occurred to me, especially listening
Speaker 2: to Oprah, and then Old David came part the New
Speaker 2: York Times columnists who said America has given up on democracy,
Speaker 2: and then Colbert echoed that apparently we've abandoned democracy looking
Speaker 2: at the election results, and a lot of the sayanocrats
Speaker 2: as I'm calling them, the sane Democrats have come out
Speaker 2: afterward and they despised the woke lunatics as much as us.
Speaker 1: All across this country.
Speaker 2: People heard the most famous woman in America, certainly one
Speaker 2: of them, Oprah amplified on all the most important legacy
Speaker 2: media saying, if you don't vote for Kamala, there'll never
Speaker 2: be another election. And we all looked at each other,
Speaker 2: stifling a giggle and all agreed, these people are nuts.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't amplified by the mainstream media. It was
Speaker 2: on like Twitter, but a big, big cohort of Americans
Speaker 2: thought exactly what you thought when you heard that crap.
Speaker 2: You just didn't know it.
Speaker 1: It's Friday. My thoughts are with other things. I was
Speaker 1: just watching Kelly RiPP and her husband on TV. It's
Speaker 1: up on the television up there. I've never actually seen
Speaker 1: the show, but if you've never seen the Kelly Rippa show,
Speaker 1: she at the beginning they have somebody out of the audience,
Speaker 1: or when they come back from commercial, they have people
Speaker 1: out of the audience dancing to popular music on the stage.
Speaker 1: And sometimes and this is my question is going to
Speaker 1: because so I've got the volume down, I can't even
Speaker 1: hear the music. But you can tell the people that
Speaker 1: have no rhythm even without being able to hear the music.
Speaker 1: So what is it? What is the ability to dance?
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea? Is it rhythm? Is it athleticism?
Speaker 2: Is what's a unique sort of athleticism. It's it's a
Speaker 2: mind body connection that some people have and some don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, to me, it's like being able to throw
Speaker 2: a breaking pitch for a strike. Some people you can
Speaker 2: work with them the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1: They can never do it. It's not it's it's it
Speaker 1: doesn't fit in with all other athleticism. I mean, usually
Speaker 1: people who are athletic are good at a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of different things. But I've known good athletes that couldn't
Speaker 1: dance and I've known people that could dance like crazy
Speaker 1: that you know, couldn't throw a ball to save their lives.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they don't fit together like that. So you
Speaker 1: think it's a unique brand of athleticism.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, this is straight out of the seventeenth chapter
Speaker 2: of the first volume of my autobiography Sports.
Speaker 1: Yes, dancing, No, do we have anybody who can? Michael,
Speaker 1: can you dance?
Speaker 4: No? Not at all.
Speaker 1: Hanson, are you a dancer? I've never seen you dance,
Speaker 1: But can you dance? Well? No, thank you means you
Speaker 1: don't like it? Well, you probably can't. If you don't,
Speaker 1: I think if you can dance, people like it. Katie,
Speaker 1: are you a dancer? Can you dance? I am you can't? Cool? Cool?
Speaker 1: Good for you. Many more women than men are dancers.
Speaker 7: Tah danced ballet, jazz, all of it for like fourteen years.
Speaker 1: I wish I could. It looks like life would be
Speaker 1: a lot more fun if you could run out there
Speaker 1: on the dance floor all through junior high, high school,
Speaker 1: every wedding, you go to everything like that and like one,
Speaker 1: enjoy it and not feel like you're making a fool
Speaker 1: of yourself. Do you have a sense of why, what
Speaker 1: skill it is. It allows you to do it that
Speaker 1: the rest of us don't have. Keeping a beat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But like I said, I can look true, I can
Speaker 1: look up at the TV what do you mean and
Speaker 1: tell the people that can't dance without even knowing what
Speaker 1: the beat is.
Speaker 2: No, I can explain to you and play polyrhythmic patterns
Speaker 2: on several different instruments, and I cannot dance a leg.
Speaker 1: I got my best example that I've always used for this.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Ringo star dance. Maybe the world's
Speaker 1: most famous drummer. He has no rhythm whatsoever when he's dancing.
Speaker 1: He ye, but obviously he has rhythm. So there's some
Speaker 1: disconnect there. I think that's commonly what people say, that
Speaker 1: you have no rhythm. But you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of musicians that can't dance.
Speaker 7: I think being able to keep a beat and keep
Speaker 7: an account with what's going on with the music has
Speaker 7: everything to do with it.
Speaker 2: Well, it's helpful. In the absence of it, you will
Speaker 2: be a bad dancer. But in this, you know, there
Speaker 2: are a thousand examples of this. All a rhythmic people
Speaker 2: are bad dancers. Not all bad dancers are a rhythm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. I wonder why this hasn't been
Speaker 1: studied more like that might be the best ex ex.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. It's a either can or you can't. Y
Speaker 1: past past a certain age you don't need to care.
Speaker 1: But like my kids are in the age where you
Speaker 1: got to care, and it'll last a while. I dreaded,
Speaker 1: Oh no.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not saying they don't care about the
Speaker 2: If they don't care about the why every wedding I
Speaker 2: went to through my twenties and thirties, I was glad
Speaker 2: when I finally aged out of weddings.
Speaker 1: I thought, I may never have to dance again in
Speaker 1: my life. Yeah, I mean never be put in this
Speaker 1: position again in my life, Thank freaking God.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember fairly vividly, Katie. You might be amused
Speaker 2: by this as I because as a kid, I was
Speaker 2: a really good athlete and stuff. But and then I
Speaker 2: got into like drama and music and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: and I could sing and I could act and the
Speaker 2: rest of it.
Speaker 1: And then it came time.
Speaker 2: It was in high school for the musicals to do
Speaker 2: some choreography for the musical numbers, and I thought, all right,
Speaker 2: here we go, and uh, and I was I was
Speaker 2: bad at it, and so I thought, you know what,
Speaker 2: this is something I gotta work on. I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: good at it. And I tried and I tried, and
Speaker 2: I tried, and I just sucked at it.
Speaker 1: I could not improve on it. It's like my joke
Speaker 1: about bowling.
Speaker 2: If twelve year old Joe, twenty five year old Joe
Speaker 2: and current Joe had a bowling tournament, we would hold tie.
Speaker 2: I've never improved a lick for some reason, at the
Speaker 2: game of bowling.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, except for one.
Speaker 2: One day I bowled a ninety five, A two twenty
Speaker 2: seven wow in a one oh five?
Speaker 1: Kid, You freaking not? WHOA? Ask Rich the bass player
Speaker 1: from the Dead Flowers. He saw it all. What was
Speaker 1: your level of inebriation? Oh yeah, good point.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think we were drinking at all. We
Speaker 2: were bowling with his son. It was like eleven o'clock
Speaker 2: in the morning.
Speaker 1: I get better with I get better at stuff with.
Speaker 1: It's very weird. Do we get do we get better
Speaker 1: at dancing with drinking, or do we just think we
Speaker 1: do it? I misthink we have never seen a video
Speaker 1: of myself dancing when I'm drunk, but I certainly felt
Speaker 1: like I was. I think it's both. It's both interesting enough.
Speaker 7: I danced for years, great memory with the routines, get
Speaker 7: up on stage one, trophies, all that stuff. I was
Speaker 7: in a wedding five months ago and had to remember
Speaker 7: a bridesmaid's dance. I almost said an unfortunate word bride'smaids dance,
Speaker 7: and uh wow was that difficult? And I don't know
Speaker 7: what that was. But yeah, I finally got it down.
Speaker 7: But I was up there watching all the other girls.
Speaker 7: I was like, wow, I am. I am not as
Speaker 7: good as this, and.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you I've tried as hard as I could.
Speaker 2: But like dancing the hook, you poke, you put your
Speaker 2: right foot in, you put your right foot out, I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: slow down, slow.
Speaker 1: Down, oh man, getting old sucks. I was watching Jimmy
Speaker 1: Fallon on so he dances with people a lot. I
Speaker 1: saw something on the Tonight Show the other night where
Speaker 1: this dancing instructor came out and taught him so do
Speaker 1: a couple of like heel toe cross kicks or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he'd be like picked it up and like immediately
Speaker 1: was doing it. Like I don't know, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: like speaking Latin to me as far as imagining being
Speaker 1: able to pick that up and do it instantly.
Speaker 7: One thing I can do is Irish dance with your
Speaker 7: hands at your side, and yeah, hands at your side
Speaker 7: and you click your heels together.
Speaker 6: I can.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is my kind of dancing. Maybe waste up.
Speaker 1: I'm a bad dancer. Waist down, let me try it me.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm jigging like a natural.
Speaker 7: Yeah, guys, just cut it off at the waist your
Speaker 7: river dancing.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't even know. We'll try to jam in somewhere. Friday,
Speaker 1: Goodness into the show, stay with us, stress teams it away.
Speaker 1: Did the vision kick the race a fourteenth point deficit
Speaker 1: to lead by seven?
Speaker 2: You know you're right, Hanson. That was a terrible call. Awful,
Speaker 2: not even worth area way.
Speaker 1: Why did we play that? That's hard to imagine. This
Speaker 1: was one of the more exciting games I've seen in
Speaker 1: recent years, and that was our clip anyway, ninety year
Speaker 1: old all Michael's doing TV commentary. Very exciting game on
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football came down to the last play of
Speaker 1: the game where it was tie it with a field
Speaker 1: with an extra point kicker go for two, and they
Speaker 1: went for two and lost to the Ravens. So but
Speaker 1: that is a what do you do? What do you do?
Speaker 1: You do the coach thing you're on the road, win
Speaker 1: or go home with the extra point? Or do you
Speaker 1: kick the extra point and hope for the best in
Speaker 1: overtime on the road.
Speaker 2: Probably try to win the game, especially if I've got
Speaker 2: like a losing record.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because last week whoever is playing the Chiefs, they
Speaker 1: kicked the extra point and went into overtime at Arrowhead
Speaker 1: in the rain, which seemed like a terrible idea to me,
Speaker 1: go for the two and get out of Arrowhead with
Speaker 1: a win. But anyway, enough of that, here's something damned
Speaker 1: interesting you might not know. We did mention that the
Speaker 1: Republicans controlled the Senate with fifty three and they might
Speaker 1: have more. Chris Steierwald and Sarah i Isger of The
Speaker 1: Dispatch pointing out that the difference between a fifty two
Speaker 1: seat majority and a fifty four seat majority, which they
Speaker 1: might end up having, could be huge for the success
Speaker 1: of any super Magan nominees to Senate confirmed posts. Moderate
Speaker 1: Republicans like Lisa Markowski and Susan Collins. Those are always
Speaker 1: the moderates that have a tendency to try to rein
Speaker 1: in what they see as their extremist friends would likely
Speaker 1: blanch it, say a Robert F. Kennedy junior cabinet nomination,
Speaker 1: But if you got fifty four seats, you might have
Speaker 1: enough Republicans and say, sure, rfk Junior can be in
Speaker 1: the cabinet. I think that would be pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: But I find myself rooting for a fifty two seat majority.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting there. The Senate needs to pick a new leader.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell been a very successful leader of the Republicans
Speaker 1: in the Senate for a very long time. It is
Speaker 1: you know, he retired. He's a gazillion years old. Top
Speaker 1: two contenders for the job are Senator John Thune of
Speaker 1: South Dakota Senator John Cornyn of Texas. They're both acolytes
Speaker 1: of McConnell and in the same vein. They have a
Speaker 1: secret vote though there in the Senate, so Trump can't
Speaker 1: really have as much influence as he does in a
Speaker 1: lot of the House votes for leadership.
Speaker 2: Right, and the Senate is very into being the Senate.
Speaker 2: They have great institutional pride and they remember unlike the House. Hey,
Speaker 2: we're like the pre eminent part of the government, the legislature.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah, so we'll have
Speaker 2: a handsome So I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. When news breaks, the Donkey braves on
Speaker 1: the Armstrong and Getty Show. We have breaking news. That
Speaker 1: is the breaking news. Donkeys Patta does not like what
Speaker 1: we do to the donkey to get him to make
Speaker 1: that noise, but just to keep that behind the curtain.
Speaker 1: They can mind their own business. So when I first
Speaker 1: saw the headline, we all, I think, know that the
Speaker 1: Iranians had a plot to kill Trump and our government
Speaker 1: announced that. Well, when I saw this headline just come
Speaker 1: across the Washington Post, three men have been indicted, I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: that's one of those deals where you know, they indicted
Speaker 1: a couple of Russians. They'll we'll never get a hold
Speaker 1: of them. But it's just kind of a gesture of no.
Speaker 1: They actually have two of three men in custody. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: from the alleged Iranian plot to killed Trump while he
Speaker 1: was campaign.
Speaker 2: Man James Colemy is still at large. The third person.
Speaker 2: The third person and they believe maybe the mastermind I
Speaker 2: just saw on Fox is still at large.
Speaker 1: Huh. Okay, now ABC is on it. Three people have
Speaker 1: been charged in the plot tour in custody. It'd be
Speaker 1: interesting to see what information comes out of this. And
Speaker 1: I was on the side of people saying this, Why
Speaker 1: in the hell weren't Biden and Kamala Harris out saying
Speaker 1: loud and clear, hey, n you take out Trump. That
Speaker 1: is an act of war, right, you cannot be assassinating
Speaker 1: presidential candidates or really anybody but presidential candidates in the
Speaker 1: United States of America. But they kept their mouths shut
Speaker 1: about it, which was about the country. They're about power,
Speaker 1: They're about party. That is that's a major deal. How
Speaker 1: could will you tell me? How could have Iran actually
Speaker 1: been trying to assassinate Donald Trump? They had to know
Speaker 1: that would be an actor, or maybe it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: in the Biden administration. I don't know. We don't want
Speaker 1: to escalate.
Speaker 2: Well, as you've made clearer, at least as far as
Speaker 2: Bob Woodward and his sources believe, Russia would not have
Speaker 2: invaded Ukraine but for Trump leaving the White House and
Speaker 2: Biden's incredible timidity in Afghanistan and virtually every other you know,
Speaker 2: geopolitical hotspot. So Yeah, I think maybe the Mullah's and
Speaker 2: the Republican guards. God, this guy is so timid, Wow,
Speaker 2: that we could do it. I mean they'd go crazy,
Speaker 2: but we could get away with it.
Speaker 1: And you know why Iran hates Trump because they know
Speaker 1: he is going to crack down on them and it's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot harder for them to get
Speaker 1: a bomb, right, And he.
Speaker 2: Took out old man Sulimani as well. It was a
Speaker 2: bit of a sore respot.
Speaker 1: Wow. They actually arrested a couple of people, Dick Cheney
Speaker 1: in there in a car, battery and a pan of
Speaker 1: water and get some information out of those people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well what they find out could be interesting. Anyway,
Speaker 2: we'll follow that story for you among others. Speaking of
Speaker 2: the transition of power, it had somehow escaped me that
Speaker 2: the United States two hundred and fiftieth birthday is coming
Speaker 2: right up in the term of the next president. I
Speaker 2: remember vividly as a lad the bi centennial in nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy six, and what great fun and wonderful patriotism that was.
Speaker 2: And the two hundred and fiftieth one is coming up
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. For those who are not gifted mathematics,
Speaker 2: and it will be, you know, barring the Good Lord
Speaker 2: interceding or Trump resigning in jd vance, you know, taking
Speaker 2: the throne will be during the Trump administration. And look,
Speaker 2: there are a plenty of Democrats, many many Democrats who
Speaker 2: are our patriots and love the country as much as
Speaker 2: I do. There are also a hell of a lot
Speaker 2: of Democrats who don't. They're ashamed of America, and I,
Speaker 2: for one, am glad We're going to have the birthday
Speaker 2: party under people who love America and aren't the least
Speaker 2: bit ashamed of it.
Speaker 1: Donald J.
Speaker 2: Came out and made a big announcement about the plans
Speaker 2: for the big birthday party. Let's roll twenty five, Michael.
Speaker 3: Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the
Speaker 3: biggest and most important milestone in our country's history, two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty years of American independence.
Speaker 4: What a great country and we have to keep it
Speaker 4: that way.
Speaker 3: But that's why, as a nation, we should be preparing
Speaker 3: for a most spectacular birthday party.
Speaker 4: We want to make it the best of all time.
Speaker 3: Here is my plan to give America's founding in seventeen
Speaker 3: seventy six the incredible anniversary.
Speaker 4: It truly deserves.
Speaker 3: On day one, I will convene a White House task
Speaker 3: for course called.
Speaker 4: Salute to America two fifty.
Speaker 3: It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local
Speaker 3: governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but
Speaker 3: an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on
Speaker 3: Memorial Day twenty twenty five and continuing through July fourth,
Speaker 3: twenty and twenty six.
Speaker 2: And he goes on to explain at some length, otherwise
Speaker 2: we'd play the whole thing for you.
Speaker 1: But Paul will be there, Ralph Macho will be there,
Speaker 1: all the stars, Ralph Machio.
Speaker 2: It's going to be like a gigantic national state fair
Speaker 2: with pavilions for every state and just music and then
Speaker 2: the agriculture celebration. We're just going to celebrate this great country.
Speaker 2: There are going to be sports tournaments and you name it,
Speaker 2: and it's going to be a huge fest a huge birthday.
Speaker 1: Love it. I can't take on the angst of it yet.
Speaker 1: We will when the time comes. But back in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy six, I'm old enough to remember, there wasn't a
Speaker 1: loud voice of we suck as a country. I don't
Speaker 1: want to celebrate this. There will be a loud voice
Speaker 1: of that this time around, and it'll be annoying, yes.
Speaker 2: And you will want to beat them down with your fists,
Speaker 2: But don't friends, do not never violence. But I'm willing
Speaker 2: to have that fight. It's high time, just like the
Speaker 2: great lesson that half.
Speaker 1: Of the Democratic Party will never ever learn.
Speaker 2: The great lesson from the big election we just had
Speaker 2: was that the nut job left speaks for nobody but
Speaker 2: the nut job Left. They're just loud, and they're vicious,
Speaker 2: and they've bullied people into silence. And so more and
Speaker 2: more people are coming out, more and more Democrats. And
Speaker 2: we talked about this early in the show. Grab the
Speaker 2: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, in fact, you ought
Speaker 2: to subscribe. But more and more Democrats are coming out
Speaker 2: and saying, hey, I love this country. This is a
Speaker 2: great country. I'm a patriot. I believe in free enterprise,
Speaker 2: I believe in enforcing our immigration laws. I believe in
Speaker 2: all this crap that they've tell me I'm not allowed
Speaker 2: to say, and I resent it, which I think is beautiful.
Speaker 2: And I hope that continues to grow through twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: No violence, folks, No violence against the America, hating commiscum.
Speaker 1: More information is coming out on the breaking news of
Speaker 1: they've arrested a couple Iranians in the plot to kill
Speaker 1: Trump and John Brennan no just speculating. Federal prosecutors in
Speaker 1: Manhattan said on Friday that Iranian plotters had discussed a
Speaker 1: plan to assassinate Trump before he was re elected. One
Speaker 1: of the plotters said that he was assigned in September
Speaker 1: to carry out the plan by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Speaker 1: Corps of Iran. The Iranian operative said he was told
Speaker 1: to put aside other efforts he was undertaking on behalf
Speaker 1: of the Revolutionary Guards. What the hell were those? We
Speaker 1: have Iranians in the country taking orders from the Revolutionary
Speaker 1: Guard for various plots. Anyway, he put aside whatever efforts
Speaker 1: those were, and he was supposed to focus on surveilling
Speaker 1: and ultimately assassinating Trump. The operative told a Revolutionary Guard
Speaker 1: Corp official that such a plan would cost a huge
Speaker 1: amount of money. In response, the officials said, We've already
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money. Money is not an issue.
Speaker 1: We will get it, okay.
Speaker 2: So there should have just had him climb up on
Speaker 2: a building and take a shot at Trump as it
Speaker 2: turns out because the Secret Service is terrible at their.
Speaker 1: Jobs, or at least some of them are. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that had anything to do with it, because that
Speaker 1: was pre September. I wonder if Iran saw that thought, wow,
Speaker 1: he's not as predicted as we thought. I'll bet we
Speaker 1: can get to him. How would you not think that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that before, But how did that?
Speaker 1: How did Iran not think, God, we got to be
Speaker 1: able to get to him. If a guy can just
Speaker 1: climb up on the roof, why aren't we trying? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: Who was I reading? And it wasn't a great Trump honk.
Speaker 2: It was a just a conservative who was saying, look,
Speaker 2: whatever you think of the guy, there were two assassination tempts,
Speaker 2: and he knew the Iranians were gunning for He's been
Speaker 2: briefed on this thoroughly, and he knew that going to
Speaker 2: every single rally, and he ran twice the energetic campaign
Speaker 2: that Comea did he was. He did all sorts of events,
Speaker 2: indoors and outdoors, knowing all of that. The guy, look,
Speaker 2: whatever you think of him, he does not have the
Speaker 2: normal level of human fear, no or shame.
Speaker 1: I mean he he just sold that too. He's got
Speaker 1: a level of self confidence. I wish I had more
Speaker 1: of a portion of to just go forward.
Speaker 7: Yes, Katie, do you remember that rally where that woman
Speaker 7: had a medical emergency and he came out from behind
Speaker 7: the glass and the Secret Service even kind of freaked out.
Speaker 3: Like.
Speaker 1: He has no fear. Yeah, Yeah, unbelievable. How are we
Speaker 1: going to respond to Iran having this level of a
Speaker 1: plan to try to kill who's now going to be
Speaker 1: president again? I hope we say some harsh things about them.
Speaker 1: We don't want to. We don't want to hurt. We
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt the chance for re putting together
Speaker 1: the uh, the Iranian whatever that deal was that Obama had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that JCPOA, maybe we can still revive it now.
Speaker 2: Trump has already made it clear all the sanctions are
Speaker 2: back on. He is going to make sure that they're
Speaker 2: not able to sell their oil. Anybody who's doing business
Speaker 2: with them is going to get a whacking. Any ports
Speaker 2: where they're unloading, better keep fire extinguishers handy. It's just
Speaker 2: a little tip.
Speaker 1: We'll finish strong next. Another piece of breaking news we'll
Speaker 1: discuss next week. Probably whatever it means, Trump was on
Speaker 1: a phone with Zelensky along with Elon Musk. Trump and
Speaker 1: Elon Musk are on the phone with the President of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Don't know what role Elon's playing in that. We'll see
Speaker 1: things are getting wear and they can wear fast. True
Speaker 1: words never spoken.
Speaker 2: Ah, Michael, I have a sudden urge to hear Nora
Speaker 2: O'Donnell clip number thirty two.
Speaker 6: Less than two days since Donald Trump won the presidential election,
Speaker 6: Americans are still processing the results. The campaign left deep
Speaker 6: divisions across the country, tearing apart relationships with family, friends,
Speaker 6: and neighbors. So how do we begin to repair them?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: By not calling people who disagree with you Nazis, for instance,
Speaker 2: they're fascists or racists.
Speaker 1: My life is not reflected in the evening newscast, hardly
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: Ever, neither is anybody else's, which is why they're going away.
Speaker 2: So I thought this was interesting, in perhaps the perfect
Speaker 2: cherry on top of the Sunday of political deliciousness we've
Speaker 2: all enjoyed this week. And that's a story about a
Speaker 2: major fundraising organization you almost certainly got spammed by via text,
Speaker 2: or certainly anybody who's registered Democrat across America pro choice
Speaker 2: majority twenty twenty four. These are the folks behind all
Speaker 2: the text messages. Kamala is sinking and Pennsylvania by two points.
Speaker 2: We need your help rush twenty dollars to defeat Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Now go dot pro choice damas dot io slash whatever.
Speaker 2: If we can't raise twenty thousand dollars for pro choice
Speaker 2: majority before polls closed in just a few hours, we
Speaker 2: may as well and Trump a victory.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: So these people somehow raised millions of dollars millions of dollars.
Speaker 2: They did not get a single person to the polls,
Speaker 2: They did not buy a single ad. They just piped
Speaker 2: all their money to this Mothership's Strategies, a DC firm
Speaker 2: founded in twenty fifteen by former Democratic Party staffers. Mothership Strategies,
Speaker 2: which has been scrutinized in the past for its aggressive
Speaker 2: fundraising tactics, has collected at least forty eight million dollars
Speaker 2: over the last several handful of years from advising on
Speaker 2: an extensive array of Democrat packs. They are essentially a
Speaker 2: financial clearinghouse consultant thing for political fundraising, but all they
Speaker 2: do is make money and keep money and funnel it
Speaker 2: around to their various entities. That's politics, man, That's what
Speaker 2: the staffers do when they're done with the Senator, they
Speaker 2: get into.
Speaker 1: Bilking people wow sides. At various times, Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: being the best example ever. But at various times when
Speaker 1: people are worked up, you can really make a cash grab.
Speaker 1: And people are so excited to support an emotion they
Speaker 1: throw money at things without looking into where the money goes.
Speaker 1: They never follow through on wondering where the money goes,
Speaker 1: and you can just keep it. I mean, it happens
Speaker 1: over and over again. We saw it, unfortunately with the
Speaker 1: Tea Party thing, which was very disappointing to us since
Speaker 1: we were actually supporters of their ideas, the ideas behind
Speaker 1: the Tea Party. But man, there are various groups. You
Speaker 1: have the Tea Party. Two, send us some money, We'll
Speaker 1: go to Washington. All they did was they keep it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, tea Party, Express Tea Party, you know whatever,
Speaker 2: airplane tea partiers for America. You know, the idea people
Speaker 2: got shoved aside by the money people. There There were
Speaker 2: enough phony pro Trump packs you could walk from one
Speaker 2: end to the to the other of America without touching
Speaker 2: the dirt. For instance, just just think, folks, think before
Speaker 2: you you you don't give these people money.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of greed heads. Yeah, we saw it
Speaker 1: up close. We should tell that whole story sometime. But
Speaker 1: we got involved in the tea party. We went to
Speaker 1: a particular event and we saw people that we thought
Speaker 1: were true blue believers, true blue believers who clearly didn't
Speaker 1: care at all. They would travel around in an RV,
Speaker 1: eating fancy food, hanging out, having a good time. They
Speaker 1: didn't care. It was just it was a money grab.
Speaker 1: It was so disappointing, but obviously has always existed and
Speaker 1: always will. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I was wowed by this amount of
Speaker 2: money though. It's almost forty nine million dollars over the
Speaker 2: last two years. Yeah, so you'd have third vising an
Speaker 2: extensive array of democratic packs.
Speaker 1: You would have thirty forty people at least that are
Speaker 1: set for life off of that chunk of money. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just a huge money laundering operation. Hey kids, it's
Speaker 1: that time again with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host
Speaker 1: for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
Speaker 2: to wrap things up for the day. Beginning with our
Speaker 2: technical director Michael Agelo. Michael, final thoughts.
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome, Jack. You're going to see the
Speaker 1: sphere with your kid.
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of things in Vegas on the
Speaker 5: sidewalks there that might really open his eyes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen that before and it really bothers him.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like that sort of thing. So I'm staying
Speaker 1: at a like regular hotel, non casino, won't see craziness
Speaker 1: sort of place.
Speaker 2: There you go, Katie Greener Esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie, Well,

Speaker 7: Twitter account based off of this clip.
Speaker 1: Michael, gotta put it, Gotta put a turd on the
Speaker 1: front of that thing.
Speaker 5: The poll is, did Jack say turd? I did my
Speaker 5: Twitter clearly, but not intentionally. Good percent of people agree.
Speaker 5: I was trying to say turret. I would never say
Speaker 5: that word on the air. Gotta put it, Gotta put
Speaker 5: a turt on the front of that thing. I think
Speaker 5: it was your subconscious coming out. Go ahead, turd boy.
Speaker 5: Do you have a final thoughts. It's such a disgusting word.
Speaker 5: I have never said that word in my life.
Speaker 1: He caught you turt boy.
Speaker 2: My final thought is I would like to apologize to
Speaker 2: my Lord, my family, and my friends for the delight
Speaker 2: I'm going to take in watching the Democratic Party have
Speaker 2: a civil war. I will be rooting for the saane
Speaker 2: half in my heart, although the more the Looney Tune
Speaker 2: half triumphs, the easier it'll be tween elections for like
Speaker 2: the next twenty years.
Speaker 1: Why does schadenfreud feel so good? Is it the devil
Speaker 1: at work? It just did feel it's so richly satisfying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it may be evil. It probably is that
Speaker 1: all I ask to be. Actually the man, it feels good.
Speaker 1: Armstrong in geeddy wrap pick up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if people have it coming? Then it's
Speaker 2: justice anyway. So many people who thinks so little time
Speaker 2: go to Armstrong on giddy dot com.

Speaker 1: Dog's t shirts. Yeah, support sanity.
Speaker 2: Drop us a note if there's something we ought to
Speaker 2: be talking about you see it over the weekend, send
Speaker 2: it along mail bag at Armstrong geeddy dot com.
Speaker 1: I'll be interested in following these stories we learn more
Speaker 1: about those Iranian assassins that were in our country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty one intelligence pro say it looks like dress
Speaker 2: and disinformation.
Speaker 1: SAE Monday, God bless America. Armstrong and Getty, you gotta
Speaker 1: put a turd on the front of that thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: a little beautiful thing, you know what. I say this
Speaker 1: in the most disrespectful way possible.
Speaker 7: It's cool.
Speaker 4: He said, Wow, this is the kind of guy. You're
Speaker 4: like a smacking ass.
Speaker 2: What I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: There's so many things wrong with that. And well we'll
Speaker 1: just leave it there. Bye, Bye, a great Friday, you mother,
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Geddy
