Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty and now
Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1: It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally.
Speaker 2: It's not a criminal.
Speaker 1: It's crime.
Speaker 2: It's not a crime.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still gonna heave you out, all right, to
Speaker 3: obey immigration law or leave.
Speaker 2: That's wack adoodle.
Speaker 3: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett America hating communist, and I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to be funny.
Speaker 2: I think she's all of those things.
Speaker 1: I thought I had found the miracle cure for my
Speaker 1: sleep problems. Then the underbelly. We'll get to that coming
Speaker 1: up a little bit later.
Speaker 3: Oh and speaking of similar things, fellas you attempted to do,
Speaker 3: click on the website and get yourself some pro pichia.
Speaker 3: I think it is for your hair loss, and don't
Speaker 3: do it until you've listened to this hour of the
Speaker 3: Armstrong Untgetti Show.
Speaker 2: Unless you want to be blind.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a factor here anyway. I was
Speaker 3: gonna leave it mysterious and you ruined it. So what's
Speaker 3: the current state of the Democratic Party somewhere between a
Speaker 3: poop show and a dumpster firecrat would seem crap crap,
Speaker 3: there you go, Ram Emmanuel.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: Democrats are in deep, deep trouble, according to their own
Speaker 3: internal polling. Politico's Elena schneider I was writing about the
Speaker 3: Democratic numbers on Tuesday, quote, the Democratic Party's brand is
Speaker 3: in rough shape in the congressional battlegrounds. Nearly two months
Speaker 3: into the second Donald Trump administration, A majority of voters
Speaker 3: in battleground house districts still believe Democrats in Congress quote
Speaker 3: are more focused on helping other people than people like me.
Speaker 3: According to an internal poll long Independence, just twenty seven
Speaker 3: believe Democrats are focused on helping them, compared with fifty
Speaker 3: five percent. Friends, that's more than double who say they're
Speaker 3: focused on the other people, not people like me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although when it comes to election time, you just
Speaker 1: have to be the smartest horse or the tallest little person.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, with the Republican Party b by then well.
Speaker 3: And will the Republican Party manage not to nominate jackasses?
Speaker 3: Ironically elephant jackasses. Democrat polster Molly Murphy is quoted in
Speaker 3: the Political Pieces saying while voters were somewhat critical of
Speaker 3: Trump in some spots. The Democrats have serious damage to
Speaker 3: fix with their own brand before voters trust them in
Speaker 3: government again, said prominent democrat. The Democratic brand is still
Speaker 3: not where it needs to be in terms of core
Speaker 3: trust and understanding people's challenges. Other numbers in the poll
Speaker 3: are even worse for Democrats. A majority fifty six percent
Speaker 3: of those surveys said Democrats are not looking out for
Speaker 3: work class people are not. Forty two percent say they
Speaker 3: shared values with Democrats. Just thirty nine percent said Democrats
Speaker 3: value work, and just forty four percent said Democrats even
Speaker 3: respect work. Thirty nine percent said Democrats have the right
Speaker 3: priorities as a party, So that's not great.
Speaker 2: Don't respect work? Wow, you don't want that brand. Gosh.
Speaker 3: And in a completely wildly unrelated story, hundreds of protesters,
Speaker 3: many of them in drag, descended on the Kennedy Center
Speaker 3: on Saturday as part of a rally in March for Drag.
Speaker 3: Was the latest in a serious protests in response to
Speaker 3: President Trump's ban on Kennedy Center drag productions, said drag
Speaker 3: artist Tara Hoot. This president is demonizing a marginalized community
Speaker 3: in order to control the arts in America.
Speaker 2: It's shameful, immoral and weak. Keep going with that.
Speaker 3: Good Luckily, all right, I'm looking at a picture of
Speaker 3: this freak wow and f bomb. That's a nerve freak anyway.
Speaker 3: And finally this the DNC has picked a new executive director.
Speaker 3: Have you heard about this guy. He's a former Liz
Speaker 3: Warren campaign manager. Now, this is the guy who's going
Speaker 3: to bring the Democratic Party back from what I was
Speaker 3: just describing and all those poll results. He's a longtime
Speaker 3: staffer and failed campaign manager for a handful of people,
Speaker 3: who not only lists his pronouns on his website, but
Speaker 3: lists them in Mandarin Roger law. He touts his decades
Speaker 3: long experience. There's a campaign manager for a bunch of losers.
Speaker 3: But Loo embodies many of the same characteristics that define
Speaker 3: the Democrats defeat in twenty four He said in October
Speaker 3: that it was very cool when vice presidential candidate Tim
Speaker 3: Walls live streamed one half of a Madden NFL video
Speaker 3: game with AOC The final score was zero to zero
Speaker 3: because they were so bad at it. In addition to
Speaker 3: disclosing his Chinese pronouns on social media, a low made
Speaker 3: far left identity politics a central focus of Warren's twenty
Speaker 3: twenty presidential campaign. You noted in a campaign memo the
Speaker 3: company invested more than seven hundred thousand dollars in radio,
Speaker 3: print and mail advertisement to reach LATINX communities, et cetera,
Speaker 3: et cetera. So they picked a far lefty to lead
Speaker 3: them back from the brink of irrelevance that they're on.
Speaker 3: Then finally this from Politico, and we saw this the
Speaker 3: other day. I should have asked for all those videos
Speaker 3: when everybody was reading from the same script saying here's
Speaker 3: what you're gonna hear.
Speaker 2: S that isn't true. Do you have that?
Speaker 3: Evidently, using foul language is the new strategy in the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party. Jasmin Crockett, who we just heard from, telling
Speaker 3: Elon Musk to f off. You got it, Michael, Yeah,
Speaker 3: don't worry, it's not that important. Ken Martin, the new
Speaker 3: chair of the DNC, to a more Midwestern approach. Go
Speaker 3: to hell, he said later on X. Let's see Democrats
Speaker 3: are cursing up a storm, said John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: GD It tell me who started that. It's kind of
Speaker 3: a funny thing to say. Former DNC chair Tom Ferez
Speaker 3: frequently deployed profanity in twenty seventeen, saying, for example, that
Speaker 3: Trump doesn't give.
Speaker 2: An ass about healthcare. Okay, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: So I have talked a little bit lately about how
Speaker 1: much trouble I'm having sleeping, worst I've ever had in
Speaker 1: my life. It's reuly a drag. I wake up at
Speaker 1: like one two o'clock and then stay awake in It's
Speaker 1: been horrible. So somebody suggested these various supplements that they
Speaker 1: said really worked for them. So I ordered them on Amazon,
Speaker 1: had them the next day and tried it for the
Speaker 1: first time Monday night and Tuesday night, and had the
Speaker 1: two best nights of sleep I've had. This is an AD.
Speaker 1: By the way it sounds like an AD, it is
Speaker 1: the opposite of an AD soon to be. I had
Speaker 1: the two best nights of sleep I've had in years.
Speaker 1: I slept all night long, Like I don't remember the
Speaker 1: last time I went to sleep and didn't wake up
Speaker 1: until the alarm went off.
Speaker 2: God, it's been years. It was so awesome.
Speaker 1: I thought, well, this is fantastic, this will change my life,
Speaker 1: except for I'm so freaking groggy during the day, and
Speaker 1: like today is even worse. Than I like, it's like
Speaker 1: I'm swimming in soup trying to wake up, which you
Speaker 1: know is no good. And so I was taking valerian
Speaker 1: root and I don't know which one of these is
Speaker 1: doing it. Are all three valerian root, magnesium, and something
Speaker 1: that starts with an owl. I don't remember what is
Speaker 1: leah fine or leah something.
Speaker 2: Like it wow, something that starts with an L.
Speaker 1: I t how you know it's not an ad. I
Speaker 1: don't even know the name of the thing. L if
Speaker 1: you lion urine or licin aprill or. And last night
Speaker 1: I had some sort of crazy dream that I tried
Speaker 1: to wake myself out of and I was up out
Speaker 1: of my bed at one point and it was like
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell what was happening, and it's like I
Speaker 1: was a drugged So then, well, and you were describing
Speaker 1: trying to get ready for work this morning, found that.
Speaker 2: Ye yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't. I was like,
Speaker 2: do I have my keys? Okay? I got my keys?
Speaker 2: Where are my glasses? Okay? Which car? I was just
Speaker 2: this horrible, oh, even worse than that.
Speaker 1: Katie, who on my recommendation, tried some valarian route almost
Speaker 1: died yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was sitting here for an hour with a
Speaker 4: resting heart rate at one And how how do you
Speaker 4: trace suspected the Valerian route. I messaged my doctor and
Speaker 4: he asked me, what have you changed? And I mean,
Speaker 4: what did you do anything differently because I am on
Speaker 4: a bunch of different medications and stuff. And I said,
Speaker 4: the only thing that I changed is I took Valerian
Speaker 4: Route last night to try to, you know, sleep through
Speaker 4: the night. And you went, well, there it is those
Speaker 4: caused heart that causes heart palpitations.
Speaker 3: And someday Katie and I do a huge line of
Speaker 3: cocaine together before the show just to get up for it.
Speaker 2: But we do that every day. Yeah, so that didn't change, right.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be accused of a classic pumping dump
Speaker 1: here where I talk up Valarian root.
Speaker 2: Wait till the stock goes up? Is there stock?
Speaker 1: And then I shorted it somehow, and then I come
Speaker 1: out and talk about how it gives you heart attacks
Speaker 1: and you sleepwalk or whatever.
Speaker 3: But yeah, a longtime friend of the show, Mike the
Speaker 3: lawyer in Chicago, said, yeah, I bought some on Jack's
Speaker 3: recommendation and tossed it on katies because he was having
Speaker 3: bizarro dreams that he couldn't wake up from.
Speaker 2: Sucks, you know.
Speaker 1: And I've talked about sleeping before, and my doctor has
Speaker 1: never recommended Valerian root or any of that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: And you know, some of your hippie types would say
Speaker 1: that's because big Pharma only wants you to take the
Speaker 1: stuff manufactured by whoever, and we are are are nationalism
Speaker 1: won't allow us to use Eastern medicine.
Speaker 3: They Chinese figured this out of years ago and shot
Speaker 3: up and get our haircut. Youa damn hippies, all that
Speaker 3: sort of stuff. And it turns out maybe there's I
Speaker 3: don't know, I've learned. Somebody said their bottle of larian
Speaker 3: roots says only use occasionally. Okay, maybe not supposed to
Speaker 3: use it every day.
Speaker 2: I just take the magnesium jack. That should be good.
Speaker 2: You think, do you take magnesium? I've taken magnesium.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 4: Now I have a friend who takes magnesium and he
Speaker 4: said it gave him insane dreams.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe it was a magnic.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 1: I took all three of them last night, the magnesium,
Speaker 1: the blurring root, and the thing that starts with an hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see, I don't know. I don't I don't
Speaker 3: want to tell anybody how to live. But like I say,
Speaker 3: I start my day with an enormous line of cocaine
Speaker 3: and then I put myself to sleep with a profifall
Speaker 3: like Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: So you know it's worked for me for a years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have a doctor that comes by and starts an
Speaker 1: ibeed drip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so I'm excited about this though. I thought this
Speaker 1: could be life changing.
Speaker 2: Damn it.
Speaker 3: We don't have time to get into this thoroughly, but
Speaker 3: next segment, I'll just pay this off quickly. Then we'll
Speaker 3: move on to other fair stories about people getting the
Speaker 3: hair loss drugs online without a visit to the doctor
Speaker 3: and some of the eye defects. We're talking to hair
Speaker 3: loss pills. Fellas, trust me when I say you want
Speaker 3: to stay tuned.
Speaker 2: Okay, trust me, love this, it's on the way, Stay here.
Speaker 5: TikTok has announced a new feature that is designed to
Speaker 5: help younger users relax and wind down after being glued
Speaker 5: to their app all day. If a kid under sixteen
Speaker 5: years old is still using the app after ten pm,
Speaker 5: TikTok will interrupt their feed with a full screen wind
Speaker 5: down reminder that plays calming music to help them relax.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 5: TikTok is trying to help kids relax. This is like
Speaker 5: myth telling us to meditate.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 3: That's a good punchline coming up later in the hour,
Speaker 3: The myth that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. It is a myth, friends, so
Speaker 3: I will just read this as presented. Mark Jones, not
Speaker 3: his real name, twenty six years old, insecure about his
Speaker 3: thinning hair, was curious curious about the ads he saw
Speaker 3: promising to reverse his hair loss. He completed a fourteen
Speaker 3: question intake on a certain website and received a bottle
Speaker 3: of Finasteride pills days later. This is the generic name
Speaker 3: for Propecia. Soon after taking the medicine, Milich said, he fell.
Speaker 3: That's his last name. I just gave it to you. Well,
Speaker 3: it's published, it doesn't matter, said he felt strange symptoms.
Speaker 3: He woke up one day anxious, dizzy and slurring his words.
Speaker 2: Hell, I just call that Tuesday. Nay. Oh wait.
Speaker 3: A minute later, his libido plunged and his genitals shrank
Speaker 3: and changed shape. Oh time out, Gotta take these once
Speaker 3: the time time out. So when you said genitals shrink,
Speaker 3: I was assuming just your testicles, but like the whole,
Speaker 3: the whole, the whole wedding tackle and then change shape.
Speaker 3: What's shaped like now? Well exact mickey mouse, that's and
Speaker 3: it's a dude wrote this article.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, hey, hey, come on on, behalf of
Speaker 1: every damn man in ninety percent of the women listening
Speaker 1: change shape?
Speaker 6: How picturing a balloon animal right exactly perfectly square. It's
Speaker 6: like it's like stirring at clouds.
Speaker 2: Oh today it looks like an elephant? Is that snoopy?
Speaker 3: His doctor said the symptoms were caused by the drug.
Speaker 3: His wife said the symptoms upended their lives. Here's the deal.
Speaker 3: Your telehealth companies don't have to disclose side effects that
Speaker 3: the drug manufacturers.
Speaker 2: Do it in their.
Speaker 1: Genitals changing shape, you know what I mean? Shrinking genitals
Speaker 1: changing shape is disturbing. On the other side, not the
Speaker 1: same old, same old. You've been with the same guy
Speaker 1: for years. Now get something new.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: Every time you have a romantic time, it's like, what
Speaker 2: is it this time? Getting some strange It looks looks
Speaker 2: like a daisy or something.
Speaker 3: Do you mind if I call you ken tonight, honey,
Speaker 3: let's see this. Urologist at Cedar Sinai in La said
Speaker 3: he's seen a steady increase of young men one or
Speaker 3: two a week seeking treatment for finasteride sexual side effects.
Speaker 3: Some also experience panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. He said,
Speaker 3: the side effects are very, very common these days because
Speaker 3: the medicine is easier to get from telehealth.
Speaker 1: You get decided, you get the suicidal thoughts because your
Speaker 1: junk is a corkscrew shaped like a pig, or a
Speaker 1: quarter of its normal.
Speaker 2: Size, which wasn't that great to begin with? Hey, oh right, yeah.
Speaker 3: The companies deny this at customers go through a apprehensive
Speaker 3: intake that is reviewed by a licensed provider.
Speaker 2: Blah blah. Attorney stold us.
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away too much my personal life,
Speaker 1: but I've got a variety of medical things through these websites.
Speaker 1: I mean, they ask you a couple of questions, you
Speaker 1: talk to a doctor on the phone, and then they
Speaker 1: sign you off on it. They've never seen you, they've
Speaker 1: never met you. It's very easy to get a ton
Speaker 1: of stuff that way. They're actual doctors. I'm surprised there
Speaker 1: aren't more laws around you know, I'm a libertarian, so
Speaker 1: buyer beware, do it or don't. But it's it's funny
Speaker 1: the stuff that you can get. It's a you know,
Speaker 1: it's an actual doctor. It's an actual prescription.
Speaker 2: Yeah, try it. You have nothing to lose but your genitals.
Speaker 3: According to Perpitious Label, three point eight percent about four
Speaker 3: percent of patients experience one or more sexual side effects. Interestingly,
Speaker 3: that's twice as many, but only twice as many as
Speaker 3: the folks who took a placebowercent of them report sexual
Speaker 3: side effects of their sugar pill, not including changing shape
Speaker 3: of your No, not that one.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I don't see how placebo could all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: If it can, i'd retest that it's a placebo.
Speaker 3: Right. Some men report worsening side effects after stopping finasteride,
Speaker 3: a condition sometimes called post finasteride syndrome.
Speaker 2: Uh wow, wow.
Speaker 1: What's it shaped like today? Get up in the morning.
Speaker 1: You think I don't even want to look, but I
Speaker 1: might as well.
Speaker 2: What is it today? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Shaped like a tesla. That's weird so much in the news.
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's it's odd, like a cyber truck, like a lot
Speaker 1: of sharp edges.
Speaker 3: So this is a study in not only the myth
Speaker 3: that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal with Putin,
Speaker 3: but also a study in how partial information can mislead
Speaker 3: people coming up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of the results of Trump's method will
Speaker 1: see if it happens.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 8: Vladimir Putin said, there is that first of all, the
Speaker 8: Russians want to kick all of the Ukrainians off their
Speaker 8: territory and also create a buffer zone in that area,
Speaker 8: which obviously could take months of combat operations to do. So,
Speaker 8: the Russians right now feel that they have the edge
Speaker 8: on the battlefield and that they are not going to
Speaker 8: be pressured or rushed into any sort of ceasefire agreement.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, if you didn't see it on TV last night,
Speaker 1: Putin showed up to the front lines there in military
Speaker 1: garb as the Russians took back the biggest city in
Speaker 1: that chunk of Russia that Ukraine had been holding on
Speaker 1: to for ten months I think, And they're going to
Speaker 1: push the Ukrainians out of there, and that was going
Speaker 1: to be a good bargaining chip for the Ukrainians to
Speaker 1: have to try to get back some of their land,
Speaker 1: which of course Putin knows, which is why he's there
Speaker 1: dressed as a general, trying to make sure his troops,
Speaker 1: his troops North Koreans take back their chunk of land.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the North Koreans convicts and conscripts. Yeah, I'm right,
Speaker 3: and just on a purely practical level, if I was
Speaker 3: advising Putin, I would say, no, no, we're on the
Speaker 3: front foot right now. We got plenty of machine gun
Speaker 3: fodder here, let's keep going.
Speaker 2: Here's Clarissa a. Ward with another report.
Speaker 9: President Zelenski gave a press conference and he was really
Speaker 9: walking a very straight line. He only spoke in Ukrainian.
Speaker 9: He would not, despite the best efforts of a number
Speaker 9: of reporters, be drawn into more talk about his spot
Speaker 9: with President Trump. He really wanted to keep the focus
Speaker 9: on where the narrative is now. Effectively, we are not
Speaker 9: blocking piece. The words he used, I believe, were to say,
Speaker 9: it's very important to me to end this war, and
Speaker 9: I very much want Americans to know and to feel this.
Speaker 1: Well, we all know where he is. He's got to
Speaker 1: make sure Trump's happy.
Speaker 2: Sure. Sure.
Speaker 1: By the way, after the Trump spat, his popularity in
Speaker 1: Ukraine surged higher.
Speaker 2: Interesting which is interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of interesting, So there's this story that some
Speaker 3: of our beloved listeners perhaps you're listening now, sent along
Speaker 3: to us, said, you guys are totally missing the boat
Speaker 3: on Ukraine.
Speaker 2: It's completely corrupt. I've addressed that more than once.
Speaker 3: Every post Soviet republic struggles with corruption and claws its
Speaker 3: way toward something close to actual.
Speaker 2: Democracy and decency.
Speaker 3: It's inevitable when you throw off the yoak communism. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I've never argued for a minute that there's no corruption
Speaker 3: in Ukraine. There's plenty of corruption in America. Asked Joe
Speaker 3: Biden and Hunter and James anyway, But the story is.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's a complete distraction anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it were a friendly dictatorship, we don't Russia
Speaker 1: want Russia taking it over. No, No, So the other
Speaker 1: story that's making the rounds and we've had sent to
Speaker 1: us is that Russia, and this is the essence of it.
Speaker 1: Russian and Ukrainian negotiators sat down early in the war,
Speaker 1: in the spring of twenty twenty two, and reached a deal,
Speaker 1: or were very close to one.
Speaker 3: Ukraine became overconfident and influenced by Boris Johnson of the
Speaker 3: uk and the US decided, no, we're not going to
Speaker 3: sign this excellent deal.
Speaker 2: We're going to fight instead.
Speaker 3: And it's the US that promoted this war, not Putin,
Speaker 3: and we're the bad guys. It's very much the same
Speaker 3: strain of thinking that Churchill was the bad guy in
Speaker 3: World War Two and Hitler just accidentally killed all those people.
Speaker 2: Lunacy. Anyway, it goes on.
Speaker 3: At Ukraine accepted the deal, it could have gaped with
Speaker 3: its territory, or at least its sovereignty intact, it would
Speaker 3: have had to renounce joining NATO, and the Brits and
Speaker 3: the US didn't want that. Therefore, the continuation of the
Speaker 3: war for the past four years is essentially Ukraine's fault
Speaker 3: and proof that Putin is right to resist by arms
Speaker 3: any Ukrainian steps toward NATO membership. And this justifies abandoning
Speaker 3: Zelensky now to leave them to face the consequences of
Speaker 3: a bad choice. That's pretty good summary of what people
Speaker 3: have tried to pitch to us, whether it's through other
Speaker 3: media or even emails and that sort of thing. And
Speaker 3: as usual, there is a grain of truth to the fraud.
Speaker 3: The myth. It started in Ukraine a Pravda or whatever.
Speaker 3: A member of Zelenski's own negotiating team said, quote, when
Speaker 3: we were turned from istanbul Boris Johnson came to Kiev
Speaker 3: and said, we would not sign anything with them at all.
Speaker 3: Let's just fight, essentially, because the Russians can't be trusted
Speaker 3: and this doesn't assure your security well. In an interview
Speaker 3: with Tucker Carlson last year, Putin brought up the story,
Speaker 3: claiming it showed the West and pushed Ukraine further into
Speaker 3: the war, and he quoted this guy, But what he
Speaker 3: leaves out is the other part of the quote, in
Speaker 3: which the same guy said the Ukrainian delegation had not
Speaker 3: planned to sign anything. In any case, we were already
Speaker 3: where the Brits said, you know it ought to be.
Speaker 2: We'd come to that conclusion already.
Speaker 3: Comments by Victoria Nulin, former State Department official, have also
Speaker 3: fed this storyline, although Newland Similarity argues that to Western
Speaker 3: skepticism only confirmed what Ukraine had already concluded again to
Speaker 3: that point, and then Dan McLachlan writes in The National
Speaker 3: Review as typical of usable myths, there are strains of
Speaker 3: truth here, but the myth far outruns the evidence. In fact,
Speaker 3: from what we can gather from the public record, While
Speaker 3: the talks between the two sides were extensive in early
Speaker 3: twenty two, there was never a finally agreed deal between
Speaker 3: Russian and Ukrainian negotiators. The deals on the table would
Speaker 3: stripped territory from Ukraine and limited its military and departed
Speaker 3: from joining NATO, and the Ukrainians were prepared to agree,
Speaker 3: at least in principle to all three of these conditions,
Speaker 3: and they negotiated a bunch of other stuff. But the
Speaker 3: deal breaker was Russian insistence that any security guarantees given
Speaker 3: to Ukraine in exchange for its effective disarmament must be
Speaker 3: subject to a veto by Russia itself, So Russia would
Speaker 3: be the judge and jury of any security guarantees and
Speaker 3: could invade any minute, any time, for any reason.
Speaker 2: You'd be crazy to agree to that. Oh yeah, that
Speaker 2: would be insane.
Speaker 3: You know, if anybody wants more details, we can go
Speaker 3: into more details down the road. But the idea that, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: Ukraine was ready to come to just this sweet agreement
Speaker 3: and we talked him out of it is a myth.
Speaker 2: It's potent's propaganda.
Speaker 1: Okay, So back in the real world, this think tank
Speaker 1: person tweeted out the day, and I thought it was
Speaker 1: interesting as to where things are right now. It's useful
Speaker 1: speaking of skeptics like you were just talking about, to
Speaker 1: people who believe that thing. It's useful that the skeptics
Speaker 1: in the American population now see that Ukraine is working
Speaker 1: with US negotiators. Trump forced him into it, He's agreeing
Speaker 1: with it and is doing its part to end the
Speaker 1: war and have a cease fire. Russia is and always
Speaker 1: has been the problem, but now it's going to be
Speaker 1: more easily seen by everyone.
Speaker 2: That's got to be.
Speaker 1: True, right, And maybe to a certain extent, I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's given Trump too much credit or not.
Speaker 1: Maybe he figured out a way to bring that crowd
Speaker 1: you were just talking about along for the ride. Was
Speaker 1: so hard on Zelensky, so openly, you know, dismissive of
Speaker 1: him and critical of him and everything like that, And
Speaker 1: now that Zelensky's gone along, it's just like, Okay, now
Speaker 1: you see he's playing ball with us.
Speaker 2: It's all Russia that's stopping this at this point.
Speaker 3: I think that is probably excellent analysis. I think Trump,
Speaker 3: who you've got to remember, he's real good at shaping
Speaker 3: public perception, like when he wanted to build a giant
Speaker 3: golf resort in Ireland or whatever, and people were against
Speaker 3: it at first, and he's very sensitive to Okay, where
Speaker 3: are the people, what are they thinking? What do I
Speaker 3: have to overcome? And I think, you know, to rephrase
Speaker 3: what you said. He said, all right, first thing I
Speaker 3: need to do is make it explicitly clear to my
Speaker 3: supporters that Ukraine is not playing me in any way.
Speaker 3: They're not somehow cleverly duping us out of cash. I'm
Speaker 3: in charge of this and I'm going to do X,
Speaker 3: Y and z, whether he you know, spelled that out
Speaker 3: to himself or to his aides or just knows it instinctively.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: So before we take a break, right now, there are
Speaker 1: protesters occupying Trump Tower in New York City over the
Speaker 1: whole detained anti Israeli agitator at Columbia student dude whose
Speaker 1: wife is pregnant.
Speaker 2: I keep hearing on the age pregnant Jack, not just
Speaker 2: a little pregnant.
Speaker 1: The question is whether or not he's a you know,
Speaker 1: cross the line into advocating for terrorists, and legally he
Speaker 1: can be held whether or not his wife.
Speaker 2: It's pregnant plays no role.
Speaker 1: I don't care if he has three wives each pregnant
Speaker 1: with triplets. That's irrelevant to the.
Speaker 2: Case, right it is.
Speaker 1: But anyway, you got a whole bunch of protesters in
Speaker 1: front of Trump Tower and they've occupied the bottom floor
Speaker 1: and they're trying to arrest them right now. They're all
Speaker 1: wearing no More Aid to Israel t shirts. So this
Speaker 1: continues to be a spicy story, certainly in New York. Anyway,
Speaker 1: more on the way.
Speaker 10: Armstrong going on now with the White House Tesla autom all.
Speaker 2: It's the biggest sale of the year.
Speaker 7: It's safe, it's very strong, heavy, it's all steel.
Speaker 10: Stealers, y'all come on down to Pennsylvania Avenue, just off
Speaker 10: Route twenty nine to get our best deal ever on
Speaker 10: a brand new Tesla.
Speaker 2: I want to make a good deal here.
Speaker 7: If they have one, which is thirty five thousand dollars,
Speaker 7: which is pretty.
Speaker 10: Low, get a model one with a different panel and
Speaker 10: everything's computer. This is a different panel that everything's computer.
Speaker 10: So don't waste your time going to those other Tesla
Speaker 10: dealerships with riots and flaming cyber trucks. You gotta come
Speaker 10: down to White House Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2: I love Tesler.
Speaker 10: You gotta come down to white House, Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2: This is really amazing. That's really well done. Where'd I
Speaker 2: come from? That's funny. The Internet come down to thee
Speaker 2: slur audible, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: I I wonder if they're ever gonna have to put
Speaker 1: a limit on electric cars in their their power because
Speaker 1: the cyber truck weighs seven thousand pounds.
Speaker 2: Holy crap.
Speaker 1: And if you get the cyberbeast version with the three
Speaker 1: motors in it, it's insanely fast, Like it's faster than
Speaker 1: a l than most sports cars, gas powered sports cars
Speaker 1: that people spends.
Speaker 2: And but weighs seven thousand pounds. What's the math on
Speaker 2: stopping one of those things if they're flying?
Speaker 1: Yeah, or if it's got you know, you know, somebody
Speaker 1: always want to say, hits the gas. There's no guess,
Speaker 1: hits the accelerator. She got all that momentum at seven pounds,
Speaker 1: you just crush anything else on the road.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds great. Yeah, if you're in it, if you're
Speaker 2: in that one, yeah exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hey. One final very quick note on the Ukraine thing
Speaker 3: we were just talking about, is the draft agreement that
Speaker 3: the Ukrainians rejected. Had Russia and China as the as
Speaker 3: two of the Guarran tours, that Russia would not invade,
Speaker 3: meaning Russia could veto any assistance given to stop another
Speaker 3: Russian invasion, and Ukraine said no way. So yeah, the
Speaker 3: US and UK said this is a terrible agreement. They
Speaker 3: were already there.
Speaker 1: So I'm watching live on cable news. Only Fox has
Speaker 1: it these anti Israel protesters that have occupied the bottom
Speaker 1: floor of Trump Tower, and now they're all being arrested.
Speaker 1: This whole game that we play all over the country
Speaker 1: with protesters. So they're all standing there, clapping their hands,
Speaker 1: they've got music playing, they're dancing around, and then one
Speaker 1: by one the cops will come to them and they
Speaker 1: turn around and they put their hands behind their back,
Speaker 1: and then they zip tie them and then they go
Speaker 1: put them in a car. And just how much money
Speaker 1: do taxpayers spend on these the going through the motions
Speaker 1: of a pretend to rest and a pretend take them down,
Speaker 1: and a pretend book them and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe they're never prosecuted. Just the whole thing is they
Speaker 3: are Kamala Harris will pay their fine.
Speaker 1: I never used the term kabuki theater, but this is
Speaker 1: it's all such kabuki theory. I mean, the protest is kabuki,
Speaker 1: the arrest is kabuki. It's all kabuki. But we're paying
Speaker 1: a lot of money for it, and it's very disruptive.
Speaker 1: Is there any way to get around that in a
Speaker 1: country with free speech and right of assembly and all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: Less kabuki, more wood shampoos, That's what I say.
Speaker 1: I mean they're having that's a party. They're having way
Speaker 1: too much fun there as they're getting arrested. I've never
Speaker 1: been arrested in my life, and I always pictured if
Speaker 1: I got arrested, it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience.
Speaker 1: But they're having a good time. Almost entirely white women
Speaker 1: and asexual males as far as I can tell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are they all wearing the terrorist scarf? Not only one
Speaker 1: of them were in the Kafia. Some of them have
Speaker 1: COVID masks on. But they're just clapping and playing music.
Speaker 1: And then you when it's your turn, you put your
Speaker 1: hand behind your back, and then they arrest you and
Speaker 1: march you off into a big truck and take you
Speaker 1: down and what a waste of time and money.
Speaker 3: Here's a crazy idea, and this is why I'm known
Speaker 3: as such an extremist. How about we follow the law,
Speaker 3: for instance, the laws that say you can't be masked
Speaker 3: in a demonstration, Santai clan laws. A lot of cities
Speaker 3: had them from the nineteen thirties, I guess twenties and thirties.
Speaker 2: Those laws are still on the books. And force them.
Speaker 1: Free Mohammed, free them all, is what they're mostly chanting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Yeah, all right, good for you, And then
Speaker 1: they feel like they're really brave standing up for I'd
Speaker 1: take your free speech concerns, which I have concerns about
Speaker 1: that on this case too, but i'd take your free
Speaker 1: speech concerns more seriously if you weren't also protesting, you know,
Speaker 1: for Hamas before this happened. Yeah, that's the beauty of
Speaker 1: these people is they are demonstrating in favor of Islamist
Speaker 1: organizations that would beat them, torture them, rape them, heave
Speaker 1: them off the building a building before noon day one
Speaker 1: when they were in charge, every damn one of those
Speaker 1: linguini armed radical sexless, pale women's study.
Speaker 3: Major jack gases. God, how do you not get that.
Speaker 3: It's like Jews for Hitler. Seriously, I don't know why
Speaker 3: it's that bizarre and troubling.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the size of their arms comes
Speaker 1: into play. Just descriptive. I'm an artist, that's true. You're
Speaker 1: just describing the scene, and I'm looking at the scene
Speaker 1: right now live and that's pretty accurate. I'd be willing
Speaker 1: to arm wrestle almost every dude I can see up
Speaker 1: there at your advanced age. Old Yeah, okay, great. Now
Speaker 1: you get to say forever you're a protester and arrested
Speaker 1: by the man standing up for something or other, and
Speaker 1: we hope you do.
Speaker 7: I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
Speaker 7: are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
Speaker 7: you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Speaker 7: Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They are
Speaker 7: right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 2: Here's your for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: I'm about a final thought from everybody on the crew
Speaker 3: to wrap up the show for the day. There is
Speaker 3: Michaelangelow into the control room. Michael final thought, trying to
Speaker 3: think of what Jack.
Speaker 2: Can do to get himself so we could sleep at night.
Speaker 6: I was thinking warm milk maybe, or I guess you
Speaker 6: could get yourself right with the Lord.
Speaker 2: Jack. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's are right, you can be awake. That's right,
Speaker 3: Sir Katie Green, are esteemed and usewoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 4: So, the popular vote on Twitter from our first hour
Speaker 4: from when I almost died on the show yesterday is
Speaker 4: that they all think it would have been great ratings,
Speaker 4: great radio and great ratings.
Speaker 2: Huh, there's no doubt. I don't know about yeah, well, yeah, yeah, Jack.
Speaker 1: A final thought for us in the late evening hours tonight,
Speaker 1: there is going to be a full hour long lunar eclipse.
Speaker 1: If you are somewhere where the sky is clear, it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be longer and better to see than they
Speaker 1: usually are, just because of the way the Earth's tilted
Speaker 1: and variety of things.
Speaker 3: So hoping for clear skies tonight, I'll see you on
Speaker 3: the dark side of the moon. Speaking of music, I
Speaker 3: was tossing and turning last night for a very long
Speaker 3: time and just kept having music go through my head.
Speaker 3: I kept telling myself, shut up, shut up. Then I thought,
Speaker 3: you know what, every single band going through my head
Speaker 3: is a British band.
Speaker 2: I wonder what that means. Then I said, shut up with.
Speaker 3: That too, shut up analyzing. You're insomnia. That's crazy. When
Speaker 3: the brain turns on, it turns on. You can't turn
Speaker 3: it off.
Speaker 2: We have breaking news.
Speaker 1: Putin says he agrees to the US plan for a
Speaker 1: Ukraine sea spire, but the details are the key.
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Hilarious Armstrong and Getdy wrapping up at other grueling for
Speaker 1: our workday.
Speaker 2: I am rolling my eyes violently. So many people.

Speaker 2: I'm strong and Getty. Our message is clear. You're going
Speaker 2: to continue to speak lies to his truth. I was
Speaker 2: wondering you know what you felt about that? It makes
Speaker 2: no sense? Are you sure? Yes?
Speaker 3: So let's go with it comes to trade, though China's
Speaker 3: like a pig with an enormously long tongue. I mean, really,
