Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Katty and he Armstrong and Hetty coming up
Speaker 2: later this hour.
Speaker 3: I watched Mark Alprin's newscast yesterday, like I do most afternoons.
Speaker 3: He was incensed over the Jill Biden clip and the
Speaker 3: News's handling of it, and where he thinks the CBS
Speaker 3: interview is probably going, and the fact that nobody has
Speaker 3: owned up to what he calls the biggest cover up
Speaker 3: in media history. Love and we we'll get into that
Speaker 3: a little play a little clip of that, and talk
Speaker 3: about it a little bit later this hour.
Speaker 4: Here's the headline of the day for you.
Speaker 1: AI startup says it will pay people two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a month to pleasure themselves. How much two grand a month?
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't live on it. But it's walking
Speaker 1: around money? And is there a website or what? It's
Speaker 1: an AI startup? Jokes to follow? Stay with us.
Speaker 3: I'm app applying, so I need to.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I'll bring you the story later with nice words. Okay,
Speaker 1: it will not be explicit because I am a gentleman.
Speaker 1: I wanted to follow up very quickly on the Victor
Speaker 1: Davis Hansen piece I was sharing with you last hour.
Speaker 1: His last sentence or two are worth mentioning, and then
Speaker 1: we'll move on to Russia. In short, the telltale sign
Speaker 1: of anti Semitism is not necessarily opposition to Israel or
Speaker 1: what it does. It is instead an endless fixation on
Speaker 1: Israel's supposed crimes when far greater documented horrors elsewhere never
Speaker 1: merit a word. That's a great standard for what is
Speaker 1: anti Semitism.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4: Moving along to.
Speaker 1: The situation with Russia and Ukraine coming up, growing organs
Speaker 1: and tiny pigs.
Speaker 4: Stay with us. I'm just going to hit you with
Speaker 4: a handful of headlines.
Speaker 1: Europe is starting to think Putin will expand the war
Speaker 1: beyond Ukraine. Russia is making very threatening statements about the
Speaker 1: Baltic States while carrying out massive strikes on Kiev, and
Speaker 1: the Euros are damned serious about it. Here's a quote
Speaker 1: from Sweden's defense minister. The security environment in Europe is
Speaker 1: deteriorated during the last twenty four months, and we see
Speaker 1: a greater inclination from the Russian side to take greater
Speaker 1: operational risks in their hybrid operations moving up to kinetic elements.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. They are serious.
Speaker 1: Another headline, Russian drone crashes into apartment building in NATO
Speaker 1: member Romania. Several people injured, drew fierce condemnation from the
Speaker 1: Alliance to the NATO Alliance, stoking fears that Russia will
Speaker 1: attempt to spread violence beyond Ukraine. Romanian scrambled fighter jets
Speaker 1: and tried to shoot it down, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Do you think it was on purpose or an accident?
Speaker 1: The NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta is calling it reckless behavior.
Speaker 1: Last night showed yet again that the implications of their
Speaker 1: illegal war of aggressions don't stop.
Speaker 3: At the border.
Speaker 1: That's that's a very diplomatic statement.
Speaker 4: Could have been an accident.
Speaker 1: I always what's the opposite of giving someone the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt, giving them the benefit of the suspicion.
Speaker 1: I always think putin is probing to find weakness and
Speaker 1: to test reactions. It's as old as the militaries. You
Speaker 1: make a mistake, quote unquote, see how the other side reacts,
Speaker 1: and collect the intelligence thereby for when you're actually going
Speaker 1: to attack.
Speaker 3: There's another headline. We have like the latest on this story.
Speaker 3: So our Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, Tammy Bruce.
Speaker 4: Of course it's a.
Speaker 3: Radio host that Trump named the ambassador to that anyway,
Speaker 3: where's my ambassadors called Russia's recent massed strikes on Ukraine,
Speaker 3: including the use of that IBM missile to go into Ukraine, inexplicable,
Speaker 3: dangerous in a barbaric escalation, and also condemned the reckless
Speaker 3: use of whatever rocket or missile went into Romania last night.
Speaker 3: There are several people they got heard it hit an
Speaker 3: apartment complex. I mean, that's just like a you can
Speaker 3: watch the video. It's all over the place, very modern
Speaker 3: city at night, city streets, quiet, people asleep, and all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, a freaking rocket hits a.
Speaker 4: Building right from Russia. Wow.
Speaker 1: Here's an article from Estonia how a tiny Baltic nation
Speaker 1: is preparing for a possible war with Russia. Across Estonia,
Speaker 1: which is on NATO's eastern border with Russia, preparing for
Speaker 1: potential wars become a part of everyday. They mentioned a
Speaker 1: large university in the country's east. City planners conducted drills
Speaker 1: on mass evacuations and sudden attacks on city, all setting
Speaker 1: up emergency shelters. School teachers are given specialized crisis training
Speaker 1: and emergencies applies with radios for st aid kits portable stoves,
Speaker 1: and young men across the country are training in military
Speaker 1: maneuvers and snipering and the sniping. I guess, not like
Speaker 1: being bitchyatier friends and relatives sniping, but you know, using
Speaker 1: a gun to shoot people from a distance. They are
Speaker 1: dead serious in Estonia. One final headline before we get
Speaker 1: to the tiny pigs growing Vladimir Putin's organs.
Speaker 4: This from the WAPO.
Speaker 1: After a brutal winter, Ukrainian drones are breaking Russian defenses
Speaker 1: bab bab Bah and the war against Ukraine. They talk
Speaker 1: about the dozens of operators flying thousands of drones from
Speaker 1: underground command centers that look more like tech startups than
Speaker 1: a forward bunker, and the unbelievable damage they're doing, and
Speaker 1: they reset some new numbers about the casualties, the number
Speaker 1: of men Russia is losing, and how at this rate
Speaker 1: they will have to do a generalized mobilization, a mass
Speaker 1: draft of young men very very soon, and that will
Speaker 1: be greeted very very badly in Russia. So things are
Speaker 1: looking dark for Russia better for Ukraine and Europe is
Speaker 1: well aware that Putin. Oh I'm sorry, I almost left
Speaker 1: out the most important part. How can Putin justify a
Speaker 1: general mobilization slash draft to Russia NATO because he's at
Speaker 1: war with NATO.
Speaker 3: NATO attacksing NATO attacks Russia. That's how he does it.
Speaker 1: So he's going to provoke conflict with some of the
Speaker 1: Baltic states or who knows, Romania.
Speaker 3: Maybe his cold, cold time me pig heart. Perhaps I'll
Speaker 3: tell you about all the tiny pigs and the organs
Speaker 3: and stuff right after this.
Speaker 4: Or from our friends. That's simply save home security.
Speaker 1: When we talk about this, we talk a lot about
Speaker 1: junkies and scumbags breaking in your house and how you
Speaker 1: want to prevent break ins, which is obviously very very
Speaker 1: important and simply safe is very very good at it.
Speaker 1: Look into their active guard out to ord protection. But
Speaker 1: they also have great sensors for fires, floods, everything your
Speaker 1: homeowners insurance company might be concerned about. And like in
Speaker 1: my case, they're really concerned about fire, and so we've
Speaker 1: got like state of the art fire sensors and we're
Speaker 1: getting a big discount on our insurance. That's what Simply
Speaker 1: Safe is all about.
Speaker 3: If you're thinking it'd be a really big deal to
Speaker 3: get this, we'll be a big deal in terms of safety,
Speaker 3: but a big deal in terms of the doing it.
Speaker 3: It's not. You go on the website and you customize
Speaker 3: it for your house, and it comes to you fast,
Speaker 3: and you can set it up yourself pretty quick. If
Speaker 3: you want help, you can get it. But I set
Speaker 3: mine up pretty fast. The cameras, the sensors, all that
Speaker 3: sort of st and it's not very expensive either.
Speaker 1: You could do this today, yeah, them, the system and
Speaker 1: the monitoring is so affordable. And right now, you good
Speaker 1: people get fifty percent off your new simply Safe system.
Speaker 1: It's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. It's simply safe
Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong. There's no safelights, simply safe.
Speaker 3: How much is putin worth hard to say, but certainly
Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars. And he's not the first
Speaker 3: billionaire to become obsessed with health and become a little
Speaker 3: paranoid and all that sort of stuff, see Howard Hughes
Speaker 3: and others throughout history. Because you got everything you know,
Speaker 3: and you just thinking, God, I just last thing I
Speaker 3: want is to have a heart attack or my you know,
Speaker 3: liver give out or whatever the heck it.
Speaker 1: Is, like, oh yeah, they're a handful of tech titans
Speaker 1: whose names you're probably familiar with, who are obsessed with
Speaker 1: this stuff right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's one thing that this article
Speaker 3: on Wall Street Joe mentions that it's very popular among
Speaker 3: your Sam Altman's and all those sorts of people do
Speaker 3: all their money and they're they're spending lots of money
Speaker 3: in all kinds of different laws ngevity, this and longevity that.
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you? I would too if I had the
Speaker 3: endless money.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's more important than that feeling by fifteenth house?
Speaker 3: Feeling good for as long as you can. But in Russia,
Speaker 3: Putin's quest I'm reading now from the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3: Putin's quest to stave off decline is now a state priority.
Speaker 3: He's turning the whole country toward it, relying on methods
Speaker 3: as wide ranging as organ printing, harvesting mini pigs, and
Speaker 3: exposure to ultra low temperatures. I don't know why you
Speaker 3: got to do that. Last month, Russia's government announced that
Speaker 3: scientists are developing a gene therapy treatment aimed at slowing
Speaker 3: cellutar aging. Wow, would that be cool as part of
Speaker 3: a new health preservation technology Putin's twenty six billion dollar
Speaker 3: longevity initiative. And I'm glad that country is willing to
Speaker 3: spend their money on this.
Speaker 1: Well Putin is that country, he is the government. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they will if man, if they could come up with
Speaker 1: a way to slow cellutar aging. And nobody quite understands
Speaker 1: why we age the way we do anyway.
Speaker 3: Why ours or all your body cells get replaced like
Speaker 3: every eighteen months or something like that. Why don't they
Speaker 3: get replaced by new fresh cells and you stay the
Speaker 3: same age?
Speaker 4: Why do you have to get older?
Speaker 1: Which is why I'm in favor of draining the blood
Speaker 1: of the young and injecting it into myself, as.
Speaker 3: You know, guarantee if Putin's doing that. Russian State scientists
Speaker 3: appointed by Putin have focused on two key technologies bioprinting
Speaker 3: or three D printing living tissue and zeno trans transplantation,
Speaker 3: or growing human organs inside of mini pigs. A poor
Speaker 3: sine breed por sceine is that where the word pork
Speaker 3: comes from, correct? So why did we change it from
Speaker 3: a sea to a k because porcine is with a
Speaker 3: C and pork is with a K.
Speaker 1: It's the mysteries the language jack back to putin and
Speaker 1: as many pigs anyway, so many pigs is that because
Speaker 1: I think like big pigs would be.
Speaker 3: This particular poor sine breed is even more genetically compatible
Speaker 3: to humans than the regular pigs that we do it on.
Speaker 4: So there you go. That's the sizzling bacon of truth
Speaker 4: right there.
Speaker 3: Russian scientists working with government agencies claim to a bioprinted
Speaker 3: human cartilage tissue a mouse thyroid gland with the aim
Speaker 3: of achieving human organ replacement by twenty thirty.
Speaker 4: You know, as an old guy, I talked to other
Speaker 4: old guys and.
Speaker 1: One buddy of mine's got to get a knee replacement
Speaker 1: because he's got no cartilage. And he was talking to
Speaker 1: his orthopedic surgeon about how in the world can.
Speaker 3: We have artificial heart valves? We got artificial hearts. Cartilage
Speaker 3: is just.
Speaker 1: The slab of just junk that pads a joint. How
Speaker 1: do we not have effective artificial cartilage? And that surgeon's like, yeah, you're.
Speaker 4: Right, we just don't.
Speaker 3: And they're trying to go the real stuff in a
Speaker 3: pig a mini pig. Cute little mini pig.
Speaker 1: Tati's a bacon bio printed human cartilage.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 3: So what I think is interesting is people often knock
Speaker 3: the you know, immortality is going to be impossible to
Speaker 3: or worth way far off of immortality. Okay, we probably
Speaker 3: are way far off of immortality, or it will be impossible,
Speaker 3: But lots of people die because their heart gave out,
Speaker 3: their liver gave out, their kidneys quit. If you can
Speaker 3: replace whatever bad Oregon takes you out, sure, obviously that's
Speaker 3: gonna increase your chance of living longer by a lot,
Speaker 3: right there, right right.
Speaker 4: It's it's sure. It's like a car.
Speaker 1: You don't junk the car because the distributor went and
Speaker 1: they they didn't.
Speaker 3: Mention hearts there, But I gotta think they're working on
Speaker 3: hearts and heart disease still the number one killer of
Speaker 3: people anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I read the other day that Putin's daughter
Speaker 1: is one of the leaders in this effort, and I
Speaker 1: saw a picture of her. A hottie, as you might expect,
Speaker 1: because you know, Putin gets with models, and ballerina isn't.
Speaker 1: Frankly whoever, he says he's going to get with But boy, man,
Speaker 1: she's got a face that you just know sooner or
Speaker 1: later is going to be Luminova with a big knife
Speaker 1: in the night.
Speaker 4: I mean, ooh beautiful, but a fem faith. She looks
Speaker 4: mean as a snake.
Speaker 3: You just get a bullet in the back of your
Speaker 3: head someday.
Speaker 4: Right when she's tired of toying with you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's fun. That's why you gotta work hard on those
Speaker 4: manly arts. Fellas. Don't let her down.
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody has a rough night.
Speaker 4: No, you're not allowed one.
Speaker 3: But it's a horrible guy. I hope he dies today.
Speaker 3: I hope he has a heart attack and dies today
Speaker 3: before he gets his big heart. But at least they're
Speaker 3: spending money on something that might benefit everybody.
Speaker 4: But Bushka, she would say, come stand with me next
Speaker 4: to window.
Speaker 3: Don't do it. Don't do it. We'll get to Joe
Speaker 3: Biden at some point and other stuff on the way.
Speaker 3: Stay here, armstrong, he YETI.
Speaker 5: For the first time, non whites are set to become
Speaker 5: a majority in the United States by twenty fifty. On
Speaker 5: the bright side, that means more khakis for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no lines at ll Bean that's pretty fun. Oh
Speaker 3: that's Greg Guttfeld and show he has on Fox.
Speaker 1: Every I'm used to I'm used to hearing when somebody
Speaker 1: sets that up, non whites will be the Yay. Everybody
Speaker 1: claps because like the trained seals they are.
Speaker 3: I did something about diversity. I'm supposed to be in
Speaker 3: favor deadnist, so weird to clap for that or not
Speaker 3: clap for I mean, it's just demographics. Yay. So Greg
Speaker 3: Guttfeld had as his guest last night, maybe the most
Speaker 3: interesting politician in America right now outside of Trump, Spencer
Speaker 3: Pratt running for mayor in Los Angeles and a lot
Speaker 3: of people saying he's got Trump vibes. He just has
Speaker 3: that thing. I don't know if it's a coincidence that
Speaker 3: he was a reality show star or that's got something
Speaker 3: to do with it or not. I have no idea,
Speaker 3: or if he just has the gene.
Speaker 1: He has the gene, he has the instincts for get
Speaker 1: people's attention. Yeah, but here's a little of him on
Speaker 1: Greg Gutfeld last night.
Speaker 5: Spencer, you're on a roll, You're surging in the polls.
Speaker 5: Do you think your message is actually resonating among the people,
Speaker 5: not just online, but the people are finally hearing it.
Speaker 6: This is my favorite thing the Internet says. They're like,
Speaker 6: he's so big on the internet, but is he big
Speaker 6: in the streets.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 6: The people I'm surging with are the people having to
Speaker 6: step over the naked drug addicts and step into human
Speaker 6: poop to get their twenty dollars macha. Those are the
Speaker 6: people that I'm surging with. The moms across Los Angeles
Speaker 6: who have to use their strollers around fentanyl needles and
Speaker 6: naked drug addict zombies with machetes that maybe will chop
Speaker 6: Limb off.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, as we saw in San Francisco, you can
Speaker 3: reach a limit even with progressives, to where they think,
Speaker 3: I don't want to live like this anymore. And Spencer
Speaker 3: Pratt has a good ad. I don't know if you've
Speaker 3: seen this one going where it's a bunch of ladies
Speaker 3: doing yoga and a yoga studio and they're all whispering
Speaker 3: to each other. Are you voting for spunch of bread?
Speaker 3: I'm voting for spunch of bread. But it's it's kind
Speaker 3: of like with Trump, where it was like, you know,
Speaker 3: a lot of people might not want to say it
Speaker 3: out loud, but they wanted something new and different talking
Speaker 3: back in twenty sixteen. So here's a little more the
Speaker 3: silent voter.
Speaker 5: You have celebrities that are now coming out in support
Speaker 5: of you, but they will deny it, won't they.
Speaker 6: You Know what I've learned is I actually don't want celebrities.
Speaker 3: To come out and endorse me.
Speaker 6: I don't want anybody to endorse me except for the
Speaker 6: moms and the animal lovers in LA. That's my entire vote,
Speaker 6: because that's you know, so I'm cool if no celebrity
Speaker 6: ever endorsed me. I actually love when the celebrities attacked
Speaker 6: me because then I'm like, oh, I'm doing so well.
Speaker 3: He does have Trump vibes because he says the opposite
Speaker 3: of what all the trained politicians coached by their you know,
Speaker 3: professionals say in those instances. Right, got a big tent here,
Speaker 3: and we welcome everyone from the from the Mainstrea to
Speaker 3: Wall Street, and you know that sort of crap. I
Speaker 3: don't want celebrity endorsements, right, yeah, Well, and I.
Speaker 1: Just love that he's a dude who's fed up, and
Speaker 1: it's saying who else is fed up? We need so
Speaker 1: much more of that in the progressive cities.
Speaker 3: I'm to jamming this last one.
Speaker 4: Michael.
Speaker 6: The problem with a low turnout election is people you
Speaker 6: need to activate them to vote, and national media makes
Speaker 6: it more exciting and it's a big deal or talking
Speaker 6: about it all over the country. I gotta go put
Speaker 6: my ballot in the mailbox. And so that's why I'm
Speaker 6: here because initially it's local, local, local, but I'm realizing
Speaker 6: the more locals I talk.
Speaker 3: To, they're like, oh, how do you vote? Where do
Speaker 3: you vote?
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 6: God, yes, how the socialists win because they they go
Speaker 6: ballot harvest and they vote.
Speaker 3: I like his willing syst to mock voters. Where do
Speaker 3: I vote?
Speaker 4: How do I vote?
Speaker 3: No, Well, the votes are just a couple of days
Speaker 3: a way, and then they'll pick the top two and
Speaker 3: it'll probably be him running against Karen Bass. And then
Speaker 3: you're going to the entire Democratic machine turned against him.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, wow, Wow.
Speaker 3: That'll be fun to watch. The last several months of
Speaker 3: the actual election between the two of them is going
Speaker 3: to be something to watch.
Speaker 1: I want desperately for him to win, but the fact
Speaker 1: that he is as strong as he is, at least
Speaker 1: that's a step in.
Speaker 4: The right direction.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Geeddy, and one of.
Speaker 7: The Democratic candidates are Senator Joseph Biden. Have you seen
Speaker 7: the problem he's been having. He went around and made
Speaker 7: a speech and apparently he quoted a I think it
Speaker 7: was a British politician, took his speech and kind of
Speaker 7: paraphrased it as his own, and then the press got
Speaker 7: on him, and then he was charged also with taking
Speaker 7: part of Bobby Kennedy's speeches. And Biden says, not to
Speaker 7: worry you, reassure his staff. He said, we have nothing
Speaker 7: to fear but fear itself.
Speaker 3: If you're old enough, you recognized that voice as Johnny
Speaker 3: Carson making fun of Joe Biden years ago, because that
Speaker 3: was the eighty eight presidential election.
Speaker 1: With idiotic music playing over it, because all internet videos.
Speaker 4: Must have that.
Speaker 3: I don't know why that is, but I know, almost
Speaker 3: forty years ago, they're making fun of Joe Biden. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So we played this yesterday and perhaps you've heard it
Speaker 3: by now, but we can play it again. This is
Speaker 3: doctor Jill Biden, Joe Biden's wife, has got a book
Speaker 3: coming out next week, My View from the East Wing
Speaker 3: or whatever the hell it's called, which is obviously going
Speaker 3: to be full of crap based on just this one
Speaker 3: answer in the interview. Here, this is the only piece
Speaker 3: of the interview that's going to air Sunday morning on
Speaker 3: CBS that they put out so far as a trailer.
Speaker 8: Here.
Speaker 4: Were you horrified as you saw it unfold?
Speaker 8: I wasn't horrified. I was frightened because I had never
Speaker 8: ever seen Joe like that before or or since?
Speaker 4: Never since, yes, or never seen never?
Speaker 3: No, Well have happened.
Speaker 8: I don't know what happened. I mean when I as
Speaker 8: I watched it, I thought, oh my god, he's having
Speaker 8: a stroke, and it scared me.
Speaker 4: To death.
Speaker 3: Talking about the debate, and uh, I know I'm going
Speaker 3: to be so angry watching that interview and the way
Speaker 3: to handle it. There's not a chance there's any pushback
Speaker 3: on that based on just the way the reporter acted
Speaker 3: right there, you'd never seen that before, as opposed to
Speaker 3: saying I'd seen it before multiple times?
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Or well, then why did you drag him around to
Speaker 1: nine different campaign stops if you were afraid he'd had
Speaker 1: a stroke?
Speaker 4: What medical exams were done?
Speaker 3: Here's a little of Mark Halprin from his TV show yesterday,
Speaker 3: who was beside himself with anger. He went on and
Speaker 3: on and on. But here was just like a minute
Speaker 3: of him after he saw the clip, and I'll just
Speaker 3: take you back.
Speaker 9: Some people might well, Mark, why are you still talking
Speaker 9: about this old story of the cover up of Joe
Speaker 9: Biden's mental decline. The reason I talk about it, besides
Speaker 9: the fact that it is I believe the biggest media
Speaker 9: scandal in American history, is because my colleagues in the
Speaker 9: media continue to be part of the conspiracy of silence
Speaker 9: about this. I don't I don't really understand it. And
Speaker 9: that's not just like a rhetorical throwaway line. There was
Speaker 9: a conspiracy of silence. People who covered the White House,
Speaker 9: people who had c SPAN subscriptions, saw Joe Biden's mental decline.
Speaker 9: I told you that I saw it in twenty seventeen
Speaker 9: with my own eyes in a public event.
Speaker 4: He did.
Speaker 9: And I'm outraged at the cover up of reporters either
Speaker 9: allowed themselves to be intimidated by the White House intercovering it,
Speaker 9: or they did it willingly because they didn't want to
Speaker 9: help Donald Trump win.
Speaker 3: So he's the clip, and then he has a couple
Speaker 3: of guests on and he goes on and on about
Speaker 3: as he just said there, it's the biggest media cover
Speaker 3: up in our nation's history. And how the New York
Speaker 3: Times are, the Washington Post, no, no CBS News, nobody
Speaker 3: has put out any sort of statement we should have
Speaker 3: noticed that, we didn't, we failed you anything. And his show,
Speaker 3: Mark Alprin shows he has a Republican strategist on and
Speaker 3: a Democratic strategist and even the Democratic strategist. Oh, by
Speaker 3: the way, we should have played some clip from the
Speaker 3: what are those two guys at ran Obama's campaign that
Speaker 3: have the big podcast that everybody listens to, the pod
Speaker 3: Bros Or whatever the heck that thing is God Save America? Yeah,
Speaker 3: damn fire for and a couple of other people that
Speaker 3: were involved in Obama's And they're both like.
Speaker 9: This is why people don't trust us, This.
Speaker 3: Is why our brand is so damaged. This is why
Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to be digging out of this
Speaker 3: for years. We're still lying, We're still lying as a
Speaker 3: party about this, We're still pretending it didn't happen. How
Speaker 3: long are we going to do this? And that's why
Speaker 3: Mark Alprin was and they were and there. How how
Speaker 3: has no big media organization come out and say we
Speaker 3: failed you. We've got to do better. This was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: And I don't know the event Mark Alpern's talking about.
Speaker 3: He says he was at an event in twenty seventeen
Speaker 3: that has magically been scrubbed for everywhere. It was a
Speaker 3: private event and he can't find any video of it anywhere.
Speaker 3: Somehow it disappeared. But he was there. And Joe Biden
Speaker 3: had a Debate Night moment in twenty seventeen, and Halpern
Speaker 3: wrote about it at the time, and one of the
Speaker 3: things in his article in twenty seventeen was the good
Speaker 3: news is Joe Biden is never going to run for
Speaker 3: anything again, which is good for him in America long
Speaker 3: before you you know. Yeah, And so it drives him
Speaker 3: nuts since he was writing about it in twenty seventeen
Speaker 3: and people saw this all this sort of thing all
Speaker 3: the time that people are still pretending that I didn't
Speaker 3: know until Debate Night.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, And there were a hand full of those
Speaker 1: events too. I remember seeing the video and hearing the audio.
Speaker 1: There was the infamous Hollywood George Clooney fundraiser where he
Speaker 1: was wandering around confused and Brock had to take him
Speaker 1: by the hand, and then you know, nobody said anything
Speaker 1: for months until Cloney came out and said, yeah, he
Speaker 1: was a shell of a man. We were all shocked
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. He grew a conscience when I
Speaker 1: don't know, Daddy Barrock or the Democratic Party told him
Speaker 1: you can go ahead and talk about this now.
Speaker 3: Halbert is more willing than most people in media to
Speaker 3: say nasty things about other people in media because they're
Speaker 3: all friends and whatever. That woman's name is, who's interviewing
Speaker 3: Joe Biden? I should have it in front of me,
Speaker 3: but who does the interview? He said, Look, she's a
Speaker 3: friend of mine. Her husband was my lawyer for a
Speaker 3: long time. But that is a ridiculous reaction. When Jill
Speaker 3: Biden says I'd never seen him like that her before,
Speaker 3: and she says, oh really that's possibly true. That is
Speaker 3: a ridiculous reaction. Why wouldn't you react with well, two
Speaker 3: thirds of America, three quarter of America felt like he
Speaker 3: was too seen ow to be president before that debate,
Speaker 3: so they had seen it before. How had you not
Speaker 3: seen it before?
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah, it's all ridiculous.
Speaker 3: It is ridiculous. And those pod Save America guys who
Speaker 3: are young, and you know, enthusiastic Democrat progressives who want
Speaker 3: them to win more elections are beside themselves with anger
Speaker 3: of like, what are we going to own up to this?
Speaker 3: This is nuts that we continue to pretend that we
Speaker 3: didn't know everybody knew.
Speaker 1: This is crazy and how damaging it is a fault.
Speaker 1: Never admit you've made a mistake, Never admit you were wrong.
Speaker 1: Just deny, deny, deny, maintain the bunker mentality and fight on.
Speaker 3: Well that's from the party. How about the media as
Speaker 3: one of the Democratic state?
Speaker 4: Are party? They consider themselves part of the resistance.
Speaker 3: But they are in business to make money. And is
Speaker 3: this strategist said, the only thing what you're selling every
Speaker 3: single day is people believing in you. Because once people
Speaker 3: stop believing in you, then they don't click on you
Speaker 3: or watch you or read you anymore, and you're done.
Speaker 3: You've lost them. So you've got to sell believability, and
Speaker 3: they blew it all up. That's why the Washington Post,
Speaker 3: New York Times, these evening news guys, that's one of
Speaker 3: the reasons why so many people left them because okay,
Speaker 3: you're liars. Well never mind then and then they turn
Speaker 3: to alternative sources which are full of conspiracies and all
Speaker 3: kinds of crap like that. But that's where we are.
Speaker 1: Your premise is wrong and their premise is wrong. People
Speaker 1: don't tune in for what do you say, accuracy or
Speaker 1: to believability. They turn they tune in for agreeability. They
Speaker 1: want to hear what they want to hear, their priors reconfirmed.
Speaker 1: In modern media, it's all about tribal signaling and agreement,
Speaker 1: not challenging people with the truth.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent believe that.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not working for having as big an audience
Speaker 3: as they used to have. Their audiences are shrinking. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I think you're right, but their audiences are shrinking going
Speaker 3: that direction.
Speaker 1: Part of that is just the nature of old media, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't lay it all on.
Speaker 3: Part of it is, but a lot of it isn't. Also,
Speaker 3: there's got to be I know, I'm that way. I
Speaker 3: can't read the New York Times and think that's the
Speaker 3: story like I might have twenty five years ago, or
Speaker 3: the Washington Post or the Evening News or anything like that.
Speaker 3: You have to go to alternate sources. You have to
Speaker 3: you have to do your homework on every story because
Speaker 3: you can't trust these people. Helpernoia's use the example of
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's age and the Hunter laptop. I mean those
Speaker 3: were two blatant lies to people, blatant lies that everybody
Speaker 3: knew that was crap, right, And once you've completely sold
Speaker 3: your credibility, wow, you'll never get it back.
Speaker 1: It's I am going to speak for these media people
Speaker 1: that you are criticizing quite quite appropriately. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's way too difficult and complicated to compete on nuanced
Speaker 1: truth telling.
Speaker 4: Pandering is way easier. We have our niche.
Speaker 1: We will never have the mass audience that you were
Speaker 1: saying we lost.
Speaker 3: We couldn't.
Speaker 4: We're doing what's smart for business, period.
Speaker 1: That's what they would say to you, if they're going
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's disappointing.
Speaker 3: If that's the case, then we are completely doomed. If
Speaker 3: there's no audience for hey, we really really try to
Speaker 3: get this right all the time and be honest. If
Speaker 3: there's no audience for that, well then we are completely doomed. Well,
Speaker 3: there's an audience for it, it's just not very big, well,
Speaker 3: big enough audience to keep you in business.
Speaker 1: That's it's a niche. It's just it's just a different niche.
Speaker 1: It used to be like the entire principle of journalism
Speaker 1: back in the day.
Speaker 3: I heard this yesterday from Jonah Goldberg who used to
Speaker 3: work at National Review. Like a lot of these publications
Speaker 3: left and right, these like, uh, what do you call them?
Speaker 3: They're like think tanks in them on a website. They
Speaker 3: have tiny audiences. And Jonah Goldberg when he went to
Speaker 3: work for the National Review way back in the day,
Speaker 3: when William F. Buckley still ran it and it was
Speaker 3: print before website and everything like that, he said he
Speaker 3: was told that, look, there is a hobby out there,
Speaker 3: and I forget what it was. It was something that
Speaker 3: was ridiculous, a hobby like carving squirrels out of chunks
Speaker 3: of wood. They have a magazine that gets four times
Speaker 3: the readership of the Weekend. That's just a fact, right,
Speaker 3: And I think that's probably true. So you know, to
Speaker 3: a certain extent, people haven't wanted thorny truth telling, pointy
Speaker 3: headed analysis anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just I'm torn because I think you
Speaker 1: still wish there was decency in journalism and I've just
Speaker 1: accepted that there isn't.
Speaker 3: But weren't from our friends that eat Cogny.
Speaker 1: Your personal information is valuable and far more accessible than
Speaker 1: you realize.
Speaker 4: There's certainly more than you'd hope.
Speaker 1: Every time you shop online, your data is collected, packaged
Speaker 1: and sold the data brokers.
Speaker 4: That's why I ought to check out in Cogni.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the laws on your side, it's just you don't
Speaker 3: know how to use it or get a hold of
Speaker 3: all these people. And in Coogni does come go to
Speaker 3: all these data centers and legally force them to take
Speaker 3: your information off there, and you will notice right away
Speaker 3: fewer spam calls, emails, and texts, And they keep going
Speaker 3: at these data centers to keep your information off there.
Speaker 1: Remember, they can't scam you if they can't find you.
Speaker 1: Take your personal data back within cogni i n coog
Speaker 1: n i is how it's spelled. Get sixty percent off
Speaker 1: the regular price when you use the code armstrong at
Speaker 1: in Cogni dot com slash armstrong. That's sixty percent off
Speaker 1: when you use the code armstrong at in Cogni dot
Speaker 1: com slash armstrong. That's in Cogni dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 3: I had two stories I wanted to get on the air,
Speaker 3: and I'm going to do that next segment, just to
Speaker 3: make sure I get him on the airth I got
Speaker 3: a trans story, a personal personal experience. I'm not transitioning,
Speaker 3: that's not the not that I've got a trans story.
Speaker 3: And then I got a story around the whole Cia
Speaker 3: gold Bar thing that's pretty interesting. So all that's coming
Speaker 3: up next day here. But Yama gonna look some one
Speaker 3: in game five in game six one, but you have
Speaker 3: a pun for that right away.
Speaker 2: He got it.
Speaker 3: I don't blow us to any time out less than
Speaker 3: ninety second. Wemb We had a big game last night
Speaker 3: Spurs one. It is tied three three. There will be
Speaker 3: a game seven. I don't like the Spurs chances in
Speaker 3: Okay C but it would sure be fun to see
Speaker 3: Wemby play in the finals against the Knicks. That would
Speaker 3: be really really cool. Two things so I've been wanting
Speaker 3: to get on one a trans story. So I got
Speaker 3: to be very vague about this because I wouldn't want
Speaker 3: to hurt this person's feelings. They're super super duper nice.
Speaker 3: There is a business I go to with a very
Speaker 3: helpful woman there, and one time, like the second time
Speaker 3: i'd seen her there and she's helped me out with whatever,
Speaker 3: and she had a name tag on and it was
Speaker 3: a very unique name. I'm not going to say the
Speaker 3: name because I don't want this story to get back
Speaker 3: to her. But I said, well, that's a unique name.
Speaker 3: Was that your parents, like in somebody in the family.
Speaker 3: She said, now, I gave it to myself. Actually, well
Speaker 3: a lot of okay. Interesting. The next time I was there,
Speaker 3: she's helping me again, I said, I got to ask you.
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this. What does that mean? You
Speaker 3: gave the name to yourself? Did you change you said?
Speaker 3: She said, I went through a weird period where I
Speaker 3: was trans and for a little while, and yeah, so
Speaker 3: I changed my name to this, but I decided I'm
Speaker 3: not trans anyway. And then she went about helm and
Speaker 3: I thought, that's like the first person I've come across
Speaker 3: that has said that to me in person. I went
Speaker 3: through this weird phase where I thought it was trans
Speaker 3: and I wasn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to hear that more and more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, And thank god it appears she didn't
Speaker 3: do any You know, surgical can't be reversed.
Speaker 1: Stuff, or even the irreversible hormone stuff if you're young enough,
Speaker 1: can change your body forever.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Based on teenage confusion, which is just horrifying. People who
Speaker 1: pushed that along are monsters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, good for her to come out the other
Speaker 3: side of that. And other thing we were talking earlier
Speaker 3: about the latest details on that CIA dude who got
Speaker 3: the highest clearance you can get in the CIA. It
Speaker 3: was a veteran of the cia'd been there for many,
Speaker 3: many years, and every part of his resume was a lie,
Speaker 3: lie after lie after lie after life. The new stuff
Speaker 3: that came out today was he became an officer in
Speaker 3: the Navy by lying about his college transcript, that he
Speaker 3: never went to that college and got a degree, and
Speaker 3: the Navy let him in as an officer. So I
Speaker 3: guess the CIA must have thought, well, surely the Navy
Speaker 3: checked that out any wow, and claiming he was a
Speaker 3: Navy test pilot and he's never had a flyer's license
Speaker 3: or anything like that of any kind. Just all kinds
Speaker 3: of lies. And so we'll see where this investigation goes.
Speaker 4: Cascading failure and incompetence.
Speaker 3: But we've been talking a little bit about kind of
Speaker 3: the fun of, you know, exaggerating your resume for a job.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've had radio jobs my entire adult life.
Speaker 3: And it wouldn't have mattered at all if I had
Speaker 3: acclaimed I was, you know, first chair flute player in
Speaker 3: the orchestra at UCLA or whatever. Nope, it wouldn't have
Speaker 3: made any efforts, right, But it reminded me remember our
Speaker 3: old producer Dominic, who was a child movie star, the
Speaker 3: late Dominic Broscia, who's now dead. He he hung around Charlie
Speaker 3: Sheen and that whole crowd back in the day. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he told us, you always say yes when you're trying
Speaker 3: out for a part in a movie. If they say,
Speaker 3: can you ride a horse? Yeah, of course I can.
Speaker 3: Can you uh can you roller blade?
Speaker 4: Oh? Sure?
Speaker 3: Can you? Of course? Well yeah, can you surf?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I've been surfing my whole life. Whatever it is, you
Speaker 3: just say yes, and it'll usually work out. I mean
Speaker 3: you'll be at least it won't keep you from getting
Speaker 3: the part, and then you'll figure it out later they'll
Speaker 3: teach you or something. And I truly interesting and uh
Speaker 3: I should have done that. Where can you? Uh? Can
Speaker 3: you do play by play for basketball?
Speaker 8: Hell?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I used to do that for my local college.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for three years, three and a half years, I
Speaker 1: mean three and a half years, you know the season.
Speaker 4: I don't know something.
Speaker 3: Can you do a weather forecast? Sure, I'm a meteorologist
Speaker 3: for two years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, huh, funny.
Speaker 3: I wonder how many people do that and get away
Speaker 3: with it. I mean, it's got to be pretty common
Speaker 3: to get away with it. If you can get away
Speaker 3: with it with what should be the strictest background check
Speaker 3: we have in the country, maybe the world. Yeah, then
Speaker 3: surely you joined some insurance firm or a bank or whatever.
Speaker 3: You can make up all kinds of crap.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've seen the figures various surveys on how many people
Speaker 1: pad their resumes, and it's a.
Speaker 3: Hell of a lot more than a few.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the specific numbers, but it's a known
Speaker 1: thing that people do.
Speaker 4: I've never done it, never done it.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'll ever apply for a job
Speaker 3: again in my life, but if I do. Man, I
Speaker 3: went to Princeton. I went to Princeton.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, And if there's one thing I learned running the
Speaker 1: Apollo program, it's that you've got to be willing to
Speaker 1: promote yourself. And that's how we got the Mercury three
Speaker 1: in the air.
Speaker 4: Joe. That was it was like the fifties.
Speaker 1: I think, did I say Mercury, I meant follow I
Speaker 1: went to Princeton.
Speaker 3: In the eighties. There's probably no way to look that up,
Speaker 3: is there an? Or I wouldn't be super easy, So
Speaker 3: I'll say I did.
Speaker 1: And if they say they had no record of you say,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, are you serious?
Speaker 4: This is? This is I'll make a couple of calls.
Speaker 4: I am truly truly offended by.
Speaker 3: I better stop wearing this letter jacket. Then that's I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: There wearing your letter jacket? Are you really jugged?
