Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jettie and he Armsdronget.
Speaker 2: I wonder if I could get a note from my
Speaker 2: doctor that says Jack's not supposed to work in temperatures
Speaker 2: less than forty degrees.
Speaker 1: As poor circulation.
Speaker 2: Live from Studio C see signor a dimpli lit.
Speaker 1: Brune deep with them the bowels.
Speaker 2: Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, And on this Tuesday,
Speaker 2: we are under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1: I don't know, who do you want to go with today?
Speaker 2: Mohammad al Jolani, the guy everybody's looking at, Seria Daniel
Speaker 2: Penny quit it, thank God to say on that one.
Speaker 2: You know, we're going to talk about the shooter, maniac
Speaker 2: Punk eventually. But I don't want to give these guys
Speaker 2: name the names. I don't want to make them famous.
Speaker 1: No, I don't either.
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about this guy's name, but he should not
Speaker 2: be a household name.
Speaker 1: His victim perhaps should be yeah, yeah, Why why memorize
Speaker 1: the names of all these people?
Speaker 2: I just do not I've never understood that well, we're
Speaker 2: in the media, so kind of you know, as we're
Speaker 2: going I disagree. I disagree. I think the media should
Speaker 2: specifically not say their names. Yeah, I know we've had
Speaker 2: this discussion many times. Yeah, you have the delusional piece
Speaker 2: of crap that's his name. It just popped into my head.
Speaker 2: Here's an angle I haven't heard anybody brought up. Bring up,
Speaker 2: and you might be the person that can answer it.
Speaker 2: I know we have a number of listeners who are
Speaker 2: super into the whole protecting your rights against the state
Speaker 2: sort of thing, and this particular thing the way it
Speaker 2: goes with the cops, and I'm glad the guy's caught.
Speaker 2: He says he's either crazy or a evil scumbag, or
Speaker 2: a combination of the two. But if I'm sitting under
Speaker 2: McDonald's and the cops walk up and say, hey, were
Speaker 2: you in New York last week, why wouldn't I say,
Speaker 2: none of your business.
Speaker 1: Go ahead. But but what what happens if I do?
Speaker 2: What if that guy had said, I'm not telling you,
Speaker 2: and if they just said I want to see your idea,
Speaker 2: I'm not giving it to him, and I want to
Speaker 2: eat my cheeseburger. So what would have happened at that point, Well,
Speaker 2: it depends on the circumstance. If it was that circumstance,
Speaker 2: they would have probably just cuffed him or something because
Speaker 2: of what a suspicion of whatever weapons offenses or something.
Speaker 2: You can, uh, you know, probable causes, because probably I
Speaker 2: will cause probably I wanted to handcuff you, all right,
Speaker 2: I would tell you, which, Yeah, makes me a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I mean, in this case, obviously the guy needed to
Speaker 2: be got. But the idea of the cops walking up
Speaker 2: and saying and question you about where you ben and
Speaker 2: checking your idea while you're eating your burger. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: because I'm reading so much about Libya and Rack and
Speaker 2: you know the way those kind of governments act. I
Speaker 2: know that that's where you can get Yeah, I just
Speaker 2: although I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 2: The guy murdered somebody in cold blood. The cops were
Speaker 2: pretty sure they had him and just said you've been
Speaker 2: in New York lately to see how he'd react, And
Speaker 2: he reacted by his eyes getting wide and he sat
Speaker 2: there silently shaking.
Speaker 1: So they don't have to get a warrant or anything to.
Speaker 2: Say, how you doing no, no too, And you don't
Speaker 2: have to answer no. They don't have to get a
Speaker 2: warrant to cuff him or anything like that. They could
Speaker 2: just think that he's the guy. That's that that's the
Speaker 2: way it works.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you can arrest somebody on suspicion of anything.
Speaker 2: If you've ever dealt with this, experience it on either
Speaker 2: end of it. Give us a text to nine one six.
Speaker 1: No, no it's not. It's four one five. I almost
Speaker 1: gave my homophone number. That'd be a terrible idea.
Speaker 2: Nine five KFTC is the other I have if he
Speaker 2: First of all, I'm not sure if he had been
Speaker 2: sitting at my McDonald's that I would have recognized him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would or not.
Speaker 2: I feel like I see ten guys that look like
Speaker 2: that in my college town every single day.
Speaker 1: I was just reading a really interesting piece.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can squeeze it in later about there's like
Speaker 2: a range of ability to identify faces from people who
Speaker 2: are called super recognizers. I think it is they could
Speaker 2: pass a stranger and then four weeks later pass him again.
Speaker 1: Think I saw that guy on the street.
Speaker 2: And then there's those of us who struggle, like I
Speaker 2: know I know this person, I can't figure out who
Speaker 2: they are. But science has looked into this and yeah,
Speaker 2: this is huge. It's almost like musical talent. Really, I
Speaker 2: didn't know that as it's similar to remembering people's names,
Speaker 2: similar sort of thing. Probably, Yeah, I've always assumed I
Speaker 2: don't remember people's names out of like self centeredness. I
Speaker 2: figure I don't need to know who you are, so
Speaker 2: I don't remember it. Maybe it's the same way with
Speaker 2: pompus just day, the same way faces. I think, I
Speaker 2: don't care who you are, So I'm not putting this
Speaker 2: in my memory banks where it's so you're luckily some
Speaker 2: of you who care about humanity might remember their faces.
Speaker 1: But so there's Sally could be both, but I think
Speaker 1: you may have an excuse.
Speaker 2: So there's the I'm not sure if he'd been sitting
Speaker 2: at my McDonald's I would have even thought twice about it.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: So there's that, And then, uh, how come no family
Speaker 2: or friends reached out to the cops. I mean they
Speaker 2: talked to his parents, who were horrified he'd been They
Speaker 2: didn't know where he'd been for a while. They he'd
Speaker 2: been out of touch, and like, how did they not
Speaker 2: look at the TeV and say, oh my god, that's
Speaker 2: him and call the police.
Speaker 1: That's a good question that might come out someday. They
Speaker 1: might have been trying to reach him. Who knows, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: This story reminds me of the in my little burg
Speaker 2: in uh In in California, we had a want to
Speaker 2: be serial killer who killed a couple of people a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Very similar story. Kind of a
Speaker 2: star student athlete. Everybody liked him, parents lost track of
Speaker 2: him for a little whit goes on a murdering spree,
Speaker 2: and everybody's like, what, that's impossible. So I just wonder
Speaker 2: if and that guy's brain broke somehow, I wonder if
Speaker 2: this guy's brain broke. No, I doubt it, judging from
Speaker 2: what I've seen and heard, it's possible, I think. But
Speaker 2: this guy seems much more like because I know the
Speaker 2: guy you're talking about, the knife murderer guy, and he
Speaker 2: was had you know, the standard early twenties onset of psychosis,
Speaker 2: his serious mental illness.
Speaker 1: This guy is different.
Speaker 2: And it finally occurred to me how to describe this
Speaker 2: Because I'm always talking about how ideology can trump intelligence
Speaker 2: and ideology squash his wisdom it just makes them shut up.
Speaker 2: It just it bullies them, and they no longer can
Speaker 2: exert their control.
Speaker 1: It's like being in love. It's gotta be. Will you
Speaker 1: get so swept up in ideological fervor you start doing
Speaker 1: things you'd never do, You start ignoring your better judgment,
Speaker 1: you get swept away into these idiotic ideas.
Speaker 2: I've got some examples of the miter uh. But yeah,
Speaker 2: this guy absolutely stinks of over educated, progressive upper cruster
Speaker 2: who got swept up in ideology. He's the modern incarnation
Speaker 2: of Patty Hurst or whatever other would be brave revolutionary
Speaker 2: their their prep school spawned this time.
Speaker 1: All those kids at Columbia last year.
Speaker 2: Exactly, all the pro hamas kafia wearing dip asses on
Speaker 2: college campuses, exactly. That's actually what I thought of, maybe
Speaker 2: leading the show with was yet another over educated, uh
Speaker 2: liberal white kid, although there are plenty of liberal brown
Speaker 2: and black kids who are also freaking lunatics john progressive.
Speaker 2: But there's something extra to it, because you are you are,
Speaker 2: There's there's that whole I'm speaking on, behalf of the
Speaker 2: downtrodden thing that happens with the white over educated people
Speaker 2: and a desperation to like ala your feelings of white guilt.
Speaker 1: So that's an extra energy there. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find this quote that I grabbed the
Speaker 2: other day that fits in with what you're saying. I'll
Speaker 2: find it somewhere. It was a Dustyevsky quote, but it's about,
Speaker 2: you know, everybody has to believe in some sort of
Speaker 2: ideology and then they go way too far with it,
Speaker 2: can go way too far with it. And it's happened,
Speaker 2: you know, with all religions, and but that that's what's
Speaker 2: going on with a lot of this fight the man,
Speaker 2: whether it's climate change or trans or whatever it is,
Speaker 2: you glatch onto it and it makes you crazy, like
Speaker 2: you were just saying, I mean, you take it to
Speaker 2: am a crusader level.
Speaker 1: Right, right.
Speaker 2: And there are many sayings throughout history about being you know,
Speaker 2: beware of your passions or you know, is moderation that
Speaker 2: sort of thing, And it's.
Speaker 1: Gotta be because like I mean, you can even like
Speaker 1: get crazy into fishing or something and spend a zillion
Speaker 1: dollars and buy like everything love boats and the rods
Speaker 1: and the real and the loures, and you just go
Speaker 1: nuts and then you got five thousand dollars worth of
Speaker 1: gear in the corner of the garage, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you realize you don't like worms, and you're
Speaker 1: done well.
Speaker 2: And then but that's fine. You squandered a bunch of money.
Speaker 2: You sell it at a garage sale. Somebody gets a
Speaker 2: rod for a chief. I mean, all right, the humanity
Speaker 2: can struggle onward, but when it's the ideological I'm young,
Speaker 2: I'm energetic.
Speaker 1: I've got just enough education to be dangerous.
Speaker 2: I want to change the world the angry young man syndrome,
Speaker 2: although it's mostly women, or at least a lot of
Speaker 2: women these days.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know. It's a car with no brakes.
Speaker 2: This murderous nut job was valedictorian at a forty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Private high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well he'd been going there for sixth through
Speaker 2: twelfth grade.
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, it came from plenty of money, right,
Speaker 1: I had to be angry about something angry about.
Speaker 2: Korey's going to bring down corporate America. He is a
Speaker 2: fan of the unibomber. I'm murdering some guy in cold blood,
Speaker 2: shooting him in the back. Just enjoy living in a cage.
Speaker 2: Luigi yeah, let's start to shoe. Officially, I'm Jack Armstrong,
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this it is Tuesday, December tenth,
Speaker 2: the year twenty twenty four. Life will not be a
Speaker 2: born twenty four or Armstrong and getting we approve of
Speaker 2: this program. Let's leap in action that officially according to
Speaker 2: f SEC rules and regulations, here we go at Mark.
Speaker 1: They ask him, have you been to New York recently?
Speaker 3: And he starts shaking, and that's when the police officers,
Speaker 3: including the one who arrested him. He's been on the
Speaker 3: job now only six months. That's the moment when they
Speaker 3: knew that they had him.
Speaker 1: You seem nervous. Why you're shaking, Why you're sweating.
Speaker 2: I got one of those bad quarter pounders with cheese, man,
Speaker 2: these things.
Speaker 1: I think it's the onions.
Speaker 2: Wah excuse me, wah ummmm.
Speaker 1: He's got to be some level of crazy.
Speaker 2: Though you're on you're maybe the most wanted person in
Speaker 2: America right now, and you're sitting at McDonald's eating in
Speaker 2: the middle of the day. It doesn't seem like what
Speaker 2: you do. Ideology leads to crazy all the time. How
Speaker 2: does the time? How does the bag of mail look
Speaker 2: today a plus very strong cool. I already gave you the
Speaker 2: text line, we got a lot today, stay with us.
Speaker 1: I gotta get some Christmas music up in here.
Speaker 2: Michael, Christmas is two weeks from tomorrow's two weeks?
Speaker 1: You anti Christmas? Is this your war on Christmas? It's
Speaker 1: Michael's Warren Christmas.
Speaker 2: If you say Merry Christmas to me gets very angry
Speaker 2: type holidays you nazi Wow. I was at my son's
Speaker 2: Christmas band concert last night, which was also a fundraiser
Speaker 2: for the band department, and they had a silent auction
Speaker 2: and I walked away with an apple pie and a
Speaker 2: homemade cheesecake by lurking around the silent auction table as
Speaker 2: you have to do, and getting in at the end and.
Speaker 1: Going bick out a circle like a like a bird
Speaker 1: of prey. There's why.
Speaker 2: But I need a giant cheesecake and an apple pie
Speaker 2: at my house like I need my eyes gouged out.
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.
Speaker 1: We're focusing on family this week. Got two George's for you.
Speaker 2: First, George Bernard Shaw A happy family is but an
Speaker 2: earlier heaven that is awesome. Well, it's just you know,
Speaker 2: both you know, my wife and I and our kids
Speaker 2: have frequently said, the more they learn and the more
Speaker 2: they see and live, the more grateful we are that.
Speaker 1: You know, we all get along.
Speaker 2: And then so that's George Bernard Shaw with a beautiful,
Speaker 2: beautiful thought of happy families, but in earlier heaven than this,
Speaker 2: George from George Burns. Happiness is having a large, loving, caring,
Speaker 2: close knit family in another city.
Speaker 1: The funny one.
Speaker 2: Yes, he his point mail bag, drop us a note
Speaker 2: mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com. I wish
Speaker 2: I could answer more of them.
Speaker 1: I do a few.
Speaker 2: It's just there's so many and and but it's so
Speaker 2: great to hear from so many of you. Except the
Speaker 2: angry idiots not so much, y'all.
Speaker 1: Note for Martin here, guys, you often remind us that
Speaker 1: words make a lot of difference.
Speaker 2: Liberals are people who believe in free speech and freedom
Speaker 2: of thought. Progressives believe that if you disagree with him,
Speaker 2: you're a bad person and must be canceled. Let's remember
Speaker 2: to not sugarcoat progressives by calling them liberals. Yeah, there
Speaker 2: should be there should be a more care paid attention
Speaker 2: to those two terms. Yeah, well said Martin. No, uh no,
Speaker 2: objection JT and Livermore with a couple of musical takes
Speaker 2: today is a man of many interests. Holy cow, jay
Speaker 2: Z has been drawn into the Diddy scandal.
Speaker 1: Do you know what this means? Don't you? Or you
Speaker 1: know what this means, don't you?
Speaker 2: It means that of the three self made hip hop billionaires,
Speaker 2: Kanye West is the most.
Speaker 1: Honorable slash normal. Who saw that coming?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's his own worst victim. I think Dre's a billionaire.
Speaker 2: He hasn't done anything. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah two doctor Dre. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's busy the pandemic. You know, he's very busy during
Speaker 2: the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Of course, sure, of course he's as much a real
Speaker 1: doctor as doctor Jill, for instance. So then I love this.
Speaker 2: Michael, Do you have our clip of the year from
Speaker 2: a couple of years handy that I requested?
Speaker 1: Robert sent this along? Or is it Bob?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Robert, he said the fruits of the
Speaker 2: free press bone appetite. I was reading about the person
Speaker 2: of interest in the United CEO Healthcare United Healthcare CEO killing.
Speaker 2: When I saw this, I was relieved to see that
Speaker 2: journalism lives. The headline of the story was what was
Speaker 2: Luigi Mangione doing in the McDonald's And then a couple
Speaker 2: of paragraphs in it said, according to authorities, he was
Speaker 2: sitting there eating.
Speaker 4: The season one actually walking away with a cheesecake there
Speaker 4: after the cheesecake factory was looted.
Speaker 1: Unclear where they may have gotten that.
Speaker 2: So what was he doing inside the McDonald's. He was
Speaker 2: sitting eating McDonald's food. So that's been nailed down.
Speaker 1: Oh boy.
Speaker 2: And then JT and Livermore's other musical take, Joe says
Speaker 2: that there's more way to skin a cat. We were
Speaker 2: discussing that expression in the origin of it yesterday, I guess,
Speaker 2: and partly on the podcast, right, the One More Thing podcast,
Speaker 2: to which I say, well, they're skinning the cats, they're
Speaker 2: skinning the dogs, they're skinning the pets of the people
Speaker 2: who live there. They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats,
Speaker 2: they're eating the pets of the.
Speaker 1: People that live there. All right, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Let's see, do we have time for this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I guess we do.
Speaker 2: A nice note from z here kind of weird the heart,
Speaker 2: oh talk about some weird social dynamics.
Speaker 1: Kind of weird.
Speaker 2: The hardcore left is making a Robin hood of out
Speaker 2: of this United Healthcare CEO shooter. Well they all names
Speaker 2: their kid Luigi posted Italy, nineteen forties.
Speaker 1: Anyway he wants to know. Ryan Thompson, the.
Speaker 2: Evil health executive, was, by all accounts, a regular, hard
Speaker 2: working family man. Came up from a working class family,
Speaker 2: graduating from the University of Iowa, worked hard for decades
Speaker 2: to make his way up to corporate ladder. Say what
Speaker 2: you want about United Healthcare as a company and perhaps
Speaker 2: some of his choices, but excuse me, I got an
Speaker 2: inch in my throat. But Brian was a hard working
Speaker 2: man with loving family who didn't come come from money,
Speaker 2: but earned his way up the ladder. By contrast, good
Speaker 2: old boy Luigi, who a disturbing number of women on
Speaker 2: Twitter having the Ted Bundy reaction, over comes from absurd wealth.
Speaker 2: He went to a forty thousand dollars year prep school
Speaker 2: for f's sake, then proceeds to be a frat bro
Speaker 2: at pen gets his way into the tech industry, becomes
Speaker 2: a pseudo intellectual LinkedIn, pro proceeds to experiment on psychedelics
Speaker 2: until he loses his mind, goes to New York City
Speaker 2: and murders someone in cold blood. Just don't understand the
Speaker 2: social dynamics of the hard left turning someone they would
Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes utterly despise into a folk
Speaker 2: here all because they don't like the company who's ceo killed.
Speaker 1: Well, that's because so much of.
Speaker 2: The support from this progressive point of view is exactly him,
Speaker 2: his sort. Yeah, and by the way, even if the
Speaker 2: CEO is a scumbag, that's not the way we can
Speaker 2: run a country where you shoot, you assassinate people to
Speaker 2: try to win your arguments. We've got a lot more
Speaker 2: news on the way to stay with us, arm Strong
Speaker 2: and getty.
Speaker 5: Daniel Penny cleared of all criminal charges in that deadly
Speaker 5: chokehold that took the life of Jordan Neely on a
Speaker 5: New York City subway. After five days of deliberations, a
Speaker 5: jury finding the twenty six year old marine veteran not
Speaker 5: guilty of criminally negligent homicide. Authorities say nearly suffered from
Speaker 5: mental illness and drug addiction. The defense maintaining Penny never
Speaker 5: intended to kill, all twelve jurors voting not guilty on
Speaker 5: that remaining lesser charge.
Speaker 1: All twelve.
Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, Alvin Bragg, I was gonna call him a
Speaker 2: bunch of names that don't really mean anything as opposed
Speaker 2: to just Marxist. Try to destroy the idiot idiot. Uh
Speaker 2: so frustrated that this ever e been got off the ground.
Speaker 2: But they want to get to the evil, evil Alvin
Speaker 2: Bragg sooner or later.
Speaker 1: But thank goodness, it wants the direction it did.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people very happy that Daniel Penny
Speaker 2: is a free man today. Not this guy, one of
Speaker 2: the leaders of Black Lives Matter in New York.
Speaker 1: We need some black visialities. That's right. People want to
Speaker 1: jump up, ain't choke us, ain't kill us for being loud.
Speaker 1: How about we do the same when they attempt to
Speaker 1: oppress us. Right, I'm tie it tie it called.
Speaker 2: Forget the long version of that where he and his
Speaker 2: cohorts say Daniel Penny is not welcome on the streets
Speaker 2: of New York.
Speaker 1: The NYPD doesn't police these streets.
Speaker 2: We do so if you're a leader of Black Lives Matter,
Speaker 2: which is a shot through with all kinds of bad
Speaker 2: the people that started it, stole the money in jail, Marxists,
Speaker 2: racist thieve, they're openly Marxists and now calling for violence.
Speaker 1: But you get a free pass no, no, I dn't
Speaker 1: see Have you seen.
Speaker 2: That anywhere other than floating around media like social media?
Speaker 1: I've not seen that anywhere. How is that not a
Speaker 1: news story?
Speaker 2: The leader of Black Lives Matter in New York called
Speaker 2: for violence on the street, choking white people after the fit.
Speaker 2: Doesn't fit the narrative that the young journalists cling to
Speaker 2: every day. The DEI garbage is not on the retreat
Speaker 2: in media and in academia in government. More on that later,
Speaker 2: but I like this comment here speaking to the media.
Speaker 2: The AP breaking news. Daniel Penny, a veteran who used
Speaker 2: a choke hold on subway rider Jordan Neely, has been
Speaker 2: acquitted in Neelly's death. The comment is subway rider. He
Speaker 2: had forty two prior arrests for including for assault, threatening
Speaker 2: to hurt people on the subway. He did hurt people
Speaker 2: on the subway, and he was a mentally ill drug addict.
Speaker 1: If not for x Twitter, a lot of people, we
Speaker 1: wouldn't know this stuff.
Speaker 2: No, they wouldn't and another regularly left out piece of information.
Speaker 2: You ask the people that were on that subway car.
Speaker 2: They were thankful that Penny intervened. They were scared to
Speaker 2: death of this lunatic.
Speaker 1: Right. Indeed, a great piece by.
Speaker 2: Bill mcgern in the Wall Street Journal Merry Christmas, Daniel
Speaker 2: Penny Jerry delivers a measure of justice. Here is my
Speaker 2: favorite line from it if I can find it, because
Speaker 2: I want to get it exactly right.
Speaker 1: Ill looking up at Fox.
Speaker 2: So Fox has got the BLM leaders calling for violence.
Speaker 2: No other news outlet. That is news. That is the
Speaker 2: definition of news. One of the most popular organizations in
Speaker 2: modern history in terms of moving the needle and getting attention.
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and the.
Speaker 2: New York chapter, the biggest city in America. They're calling
Speaker 2: for violence in the streets and it didn't make the news.
Speaker 1: That's how biased they are. They're completely dishonest. That's incredible.
Speaker 1: I hate the media. So here it is. I love
Speaker 1: this line.
Speaker 2: Every father hopes there will be a Daniel Penny on
Speaker 2: the train every time their daughter rides the subway. Amen
Speaker 2: to that, A men to that. I like how he
Speaker 2: points out it was. The acquittal was a stinging rebuke
Speaker 2: to Manhattan. D Alvin Bragg even over it in every
Speaker 2: possible way to get a conviction for something, even a
Speaker 2: minor charge one big different well. He points out that
Speaker 2: the difference between this and the George Floyd case is
Speaker 2: that mister Penny's an architecture student who served in the
Speaker 2: Marines and was just responding when a man started threatening
Speaker 2: innocent people who were terrified.
Speaker 1: Clearly mentally ill with a history of violence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the whole he is he's mentally ill, he's
Speaker 2: had drug problems. Okay, So when I've got him in
Speaker 2: the choke hold that I'm worried he's gonna stab somebody
Speaker 2: to death. Once I find out he is mentally ill
Speaker 2: or has a drug problem, I'm supposed to let him
Speaker 2: go and stab people. I Mean, I don't even know
Speaker 2: what the point of that is, right, So uh, for
Speaker 2: the George Floyd activists, mcgern writes, the whole incident confirms
Speaker 2: her view that the American justice system is structurally racist,
Speaker 2: but ordinary Americans without racial access to grind. So mister
Speaker 2: Penny's trial is an example of prosecutorial madness, the inability
Speaker 2: to distinguish the good guys from the bad. And he
Speaker 2: had that line about fathers hoping there will be a
Speaker 2: Daniel Penny round should their daughters fall prey to somebody
Speaker 2: like this, And New York Mayor Eric Adams spoke for
Speaker 2: Lawbiden residents of the city when he complained that neely quote,
Speaker 2: a clearly mentally disturbed and very threatening criminal was being
Speaker 2: presented in the press as a young innocent child and
Speaker 2: a Michael Jackson imitator who is murdered for no reason.
Speaker 2: Eric Adam is outraged by the media coverage on Michael
Speaker 2: Jackson in person, and yeah, well, and then he mcgirn
Speaker 2: gets into the fact that Bragg's prosecution sent a number
Speaker 2: of messages to people including if you see trouble, don't
Speaker 2: get involved.
Speaker 1: If you see the weak and innocent being preyed upon
Speaker 1: by the the strong and vicious, well you'll you'll be
Speaker 1: the bad guy if you if you protect them, we'll
Speaker 1: let the state to take care of it in one
Speaker 1: way or another. Yeah. And second, the cops are minutes away.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Now he's got to go through a civil trial, but
Speaker 2: I suspect very strongly that his legal fees will continue
Speaker 2: to be covered by people who are concerned. But at least,
Speaker 2: for the love of God, Alvin Bragg's vicious, racist Marxist
Speaker 2: campaign against justice, uh was was thwarted for the right.
Speaker 1: But this BLMA angle to me is huge. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, y. You got a bunch of people there listening
Speaker 2: to these BLM leaders call for violence, cheering them on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a problem. Do they believe that?
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand it's a Marxist organization at the
Speaker 2: very top, they're Marxist, But the people standing around are
Speaker 2: they Marxists or do they just actually believe that this
Speaker 2: was a racist This was a lynching and we need
Speaker 2: to lynch back. Is that what they actually believe? Some
Speaker 2: of them do, Yeah, a lot of them do.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stupid involved too. It's an interesting
Speaker 2: Any revolutionary movement has a combination of intellectuals who are
Speaker 2: manipulating and then the stupid who are manipulated and they
Speaker 2: have a direction for their anger and frustration or envy
Speaker 2: or whatever else. Uh and yeah, again, it's it's a
Speaker 2: crime that it's being ignored by the media, but it
Speaker 2: doesn't fit the narrative. And then pennies in that, which
Speaker 2: is why those media outlets are dying. It's worth mentioning,
Speaker 2: and those who call it like it is are growing
Speaker 2: and Pennies in that uncomfortable situation. Of of course, he's
Speaker 2: smiling and relieved that he's not going to spend the
Speaker 2: rest of his life in jail. Yes, and but he
Speaker 2: you know, he killed a guy, so you know he's
Speaker 2: not too happy about that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure.
Speaker 2: The portrayal of it in at least in social media
Speaker 2: as I was taking in yesterday, was hard to take. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: One more note on Alvin Bragg. Since he took power
Speaker 2: as a Marxist prosecutor non prosecutor.
Speaker 1: As of November.
Speaker 2: Of this year, there were well I could give you

Speaker 2: when Bragg took office seventeen percent, rape is up seven
Speaker 2: and a half percent across Manhattan, robbery up nine percent,
Speaker 2: fell and the assault up seventeen percent, and grand larceny

Speaker 2: Is it a very wholesome Christmas band concert? Last night
Speaker 2: at my son's high school? It was just fantastic. Couldn't
Speaker 2: been better all the way around, and music was even
Speaker 2: good and everything like that. But it was a fundraiser
Speaker 2: and they had a silent auction for I'm sure as
Speaker 2: mostly moms making baked goods. And between my desire to
Speaker 2: donate money to the band department and my lust for
Speaker 2: baked goods, which is practically as high as my lust lust,
Speaker 2: I went big and I won two of the major prizes.
Speaker 2: Now they're sitting on my counter and just a matter
Speaker 2: of time before I eat them, and in their entirety, Wow, Michael,
Speaker 2: you can't bring those sons of guns in.
Speaker 1: I think I got to.
Speaker 2: I got to bring in the cheesecake and the I
Speaker 2: can't eat the whole apple pie or the cheesecake is
Speaker 2: like the size of a manhole cover. Yeah, homemade cheesecake
Speaker 2: is a gift from God.
Speaker 1: It is, yeah, Oh yeah? Is it kind of your
Speaker 1: standard flavored cheesecake, is there any sort of fruit.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of fruit on top, to the New
Speaker 2: York style cheesecake with a lot of fruit on top.
Speaker 2: And then there's if you've ever done the silent auction thing,
Speaker 2: you know, you write down, you write down your name
Speaker 2: and in an amount, and then somebody comes by and says,
Speaker 2: I'll give five dollars more of that, and they write
Speaker 2: down their name and a mountain. You come back a
Speaker 2: little bit later and you check the piece of paper
Speaker 2: and that sob things.
Speaker 1: He can help. But then your ego kicks in to
Speaker 1: a certain extent. All right, exactly, Oh, nobody loves pie
Speaker 1: more than you do.
Speaker 2: So right, there were some cinnamon rolls there I was
Speaker 2: very close to just like, you know, if I sold
Speaker 2: this and sold that, I could come up with enough money.
Speaker 1: Let's go big here. So you're saying that cheesecake is
Speaker 1: worth fifteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Dollars, I was thinking, you know, maybe if I buy
Speaker 2: some bitcoin and get lucky, Wow, maybe you could get financing.
Speaker 1: Can you finance cinnamon rolls? Oh? Jeez.
Speaker 2: The fact when they read out the names, I was
Speaker 2: the only person that had their name on two things
Speaker 2: so when they read the names at the end of
Speaker 2: the concert, I thought, is this a good look? Does
Speaker 2: this make me look like somebody who's really into the arts,
Speaker 2: or does this look click me like a guy with
Speaker 2: a eating problem?
Speaker 1: Glutton?
Speaker 2: We can't help but notice it. Nobody else had two
Speaker 2: items that they decided to go big on. But congratulations
Speaker 2: to Jack. How many pies does he need exactly? We've
Speaker 2: got Katie's headlines on the way, and there's a fair
Speaker 2: amount of news today. What's going on in Syria continues
Speaker 2: to be really interesting to read a long article yesterday
Speaker 2: about their historic, horrifying prison that they've got there, that
Speaker 2: they still haven't figured out how to get into the
Speaker 2: bottom layer where they've got people locked up. They can
Speaker 2: see them down there, but they can't get in. It's
Speaker 2: ugly anyway. Lots of news on the way.
Speaker 1: Stay here. The great Andy Williams like saying, like came,

Speaker 1: He went progressive on us there. What I didn't.

Speaker 2: but it doesn't work over that music, So maybe I'll
Speaker 2: save it till the preceding hours. As We have more
Speaker 2: of those coming here on the Armstrong Ngetty Show. Wanting
Speaker 2: to get into the news today, I have Oprah's list

Speaker 2: was unaware of, So share that with you. Her Christmas
Speaker 2: lists are shopping that she finds cool, new hot items
Speaker 2: usually you know, I know everybody's so turned off by
Speaker 2: her giving her two million dollar speech to try to
Speaker 2: get Kamala Harritt's elected.
Speaker 1: Whatever that unholy exchange was?
Speaker 2: Right now, has anybody ever disappeared as fast as Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris did?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Where and what is she? Will we ever hear from
Speaker 2: her again? Believe it or not, There are still ongoing
Speaker 2: revelations about how delusional the left is about what happened
Speaker 2: in the election. I came across a great one. You
Speaker 2: just they they may never win again. Of course, you
Speaker 2: know that's set all the time, but a reality finally
Speaker 2: does slap you upside the head. But yeah, it's amazing
Speaker 2: how delusional they are. Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 2: It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie.

Speaker 1: same realm.
Speaker 4: Abc US seeks to balance backing Syrian people while protecting
Speaker 4: American interests, says the Biden administration wants to avoid a.
Speaker 1: Power vacuum after the rebel takeover.

Speaker 4: of dollars more in military aid to Ukraine before Trump

Speaker 2: it's about Trump coming in. I don't have any idea
Speaker 2: what Trump's plans are in Ukraine, but I again, the
Speaker 2: situation Ukraine rush, He's completely different than getting involved in Syria.
Speaker 2: You can't lump them together as similar American adventure never
Speaker 2: ending war situations. To see Tucker Carlson was in Russia
Speaker 2: again spouting Putin's talking points, and it's just unbelievable.

Speaker 1: calling aggressively for anybody who dissented with the COVID, you know,
Speaker 1: conventional thinking to be canceled, and he platformed and jailed,
Speaker 1: and she was one of their cheerleaders on that side.
