WEBVTT - More Expensive & Slower Than A Bus! 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong, and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:19.800 Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.640 Honestly serious question, I should put this to the listeners. 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:26.360 I don't even know if I want to be this 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.720 kind of person or not. I'm not a boycott person. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.839 I'm not a well I'm not a boycott person. But 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.000 I don't think I could have listened to that screed 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.960 from Springsteen and stayed for the rest of the concert. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.400 It was just one step too. 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:42.879 Far for me. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:47.479 For me, i'd held my breath and waited it out 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.760 like a painful dental procedure, than when the second chapter began. 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.760 That's when I would have said, all right, f this, 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.440 pardon me, I'm out. The painful part is you can't 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.800 boo them, because you'll think you're just saying Bruce well right. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.960 As I mentioned earlier, The part that bothers me the 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.640 most is it's got that whole I'm cool and all 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.559 you people are cool that agree with me, and we're 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.040 the cool people, and people that don't agree with this 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.080 are uncool people. That is enough to drive me out 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:18.840 of the arena. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.559 Not just uncool but stupid and down with fascism. Right, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:28.080 oh good lord? And then you agree, of telecasters. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.319 Your point earlier just from a I mean, you know, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.880 just narrow Bruce Springsteen's audience thing, he used to be 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.560 the champion of the working class, and the working class 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.720 is clearly maga. I mean they're like sixty five percent 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.119 of his audience is probably maga. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.640 Now, if you could take every character from every single 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.440 Bruce Springsteen's song and animate them, they would vote in 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.560 the eightieth percentile for Trump. Yeah that's correct. Yeah, what 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.800 what he's just He is a very wealthy, creeative artist, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.320 a very old, very wealthy creative artist who's utterly out 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.720 of touch with the people he thinks he represents. You know, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.800 the most annoying, pretentious thing is that ever happened? And 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.840 this was how many Christmases a go, now, maybe five? 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.640 When him and Obama Thank you gladys, When him and 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.160 Obama did that DVD book set thanging Did you. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:23.880 Ever see any of that? 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.520 And then the bookstores you could get this big, giant 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.000 coffee table book and it had Bruce and Obama's faces 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.840 on the cover, laughing, And then pictures of them together 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.000 having a conversation about America, and then there's a video 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.400 that goes with it and stories from Bruce. I mean, 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.000 it's just it was the most over the top, two 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.400 completely out of touch rich people. 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.680 It was vomit worthy. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:54.160 Oh yeah, what would be the example, like the reverse. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:54.760 For the other crowd. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.119 I mean it'd be like if Trump and I don't 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.840 even know what it would be Obama springs to sitting 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:05.440 around like bathed in their own self enjoyment is Ah, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.320 it's just too much. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.840 He either missed that or blotted it out because it 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.920 was too terrible.

I hate everything about it. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.160 If I ever walked into somebody house and they got 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.200 that on their coffee table, I'm not even gonna say 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:28.480 anything about why I'm leaving. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.880 I'll just turn and walk out, like where'd he go? 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.800 I'm setting fire to it. You're gonna make a stubber, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.520 all right. So Final hour of the Week, got a 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.080 lot of stuff to squeeze in. You gonna have to 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.680 choose carefully. There's fifteen pounds a show for a five 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.120 pound bag. But let's kick it off with the Friday tradition. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.920 It's fun look back at the week that was. It's 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.280 cow clips of the week. You're saying, he's dead.

Whip the week. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.640 America, I love, that has been a beacon of hope 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.120 and liberty for two hundred and fifty years is currently 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:12.280 in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treesonistric administration. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.880 The drastic d escalation in the trade war between the 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.159 United States and China, so there is a chance to 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.560 rebalance together. This is not a political conference, this is 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.719 a business conference. I want to make a deal with Iran. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.720 I want to do something of as possible. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.160 There's two steps.

I don't want to do the 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:37.799 second step. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.080 The equipment that we use, much of it, we can't 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.480 buy parts for now. We have to go on eBay 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:44.159 and buy parts. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.680 Any of the representatives that were there, you lay a 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.919 finger on them, we are going to have a problem. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.719 You can intimidate me, come back, give me a break. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.760 I was one of a green uniform barbitu rel agent 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.839 for five years before she was even born. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.200 The bottom line is the was lying. I think some 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:07.360 of the criticism is fair. To be honest of me again, 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.880 it makes me mental. It was clear with me. Now. 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.360 Two of the heroic reporters were covering this intensely during 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.680 the Biden years.

I wish I had because I actually 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.720 saw our friend Tim Sanderfer, who he had on earlier 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.240 in the show. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.439 If you missed that, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:45.800 on the Men. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.559 Tim Sanderfer changed his registration in California to Republicans so 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.600 he could vote for Phil Graham when Phil Graham briefly 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.600 ran for president back in the day, although he never 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.640 got to because Phil Graham dropped out because he's one 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.920 of those people, like a lot of politicians, it's like 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:06.600 actually serious about governance and spending and dealing with things, 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:07.880 and those people never. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.520 Get the nomination. Yeah, he's not a pandering whore. Yes, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.079 And he's got a book out right now and he's 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:14.640 in his eighties. Now he's a very old guy. He 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:15.880 was a senator from Texas. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.640 The myth of American inequality came out a couple of 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.080 years ago, and he's got a new one, the triumph 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.160 of Economic Freedom, which sounds like very similar, like restructuring, 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.720 hoping it gets attention again. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.520 But one of the things he pointed out, and I've 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.120 never heard this before, that. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.760 For all kinds of different like artistic, cultural reasons and 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:43.880 some economic reasons, the industrial Revolution gets a bad rap 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.839 and always has and it continues till this to this 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:53.959 day of this idea that there was before the the 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:58.679 Industrial Revolution, there was some sort of man, it was 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.760 great to be a farmer out in the fields, living 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.760 the good life, free of you know, being bothered and 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.920 and everything like that in exploitation. And then the Industrial 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.760 Revolution came along and forced everybody into this exploitive world 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.000 and all this poverty, and. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.080 That is the narrative. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.200 Yep. He points out that a lot of that has 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.760 to do with Charles Dickens and a number of other 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.840 people who wrote that story, and it just kind of 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.640 caught on and has lived forever, ignoring the fact that 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.840 the reason people flowed into the factories and everything like 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.000 that is because the life they were living was incredibly 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.080 exploitive and brutal on the farms, almost always farming mostly 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.120 for someone else, and them getting all your work and 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.160 you barely getting by, and you living with like fifteen 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.080 people in one house and half the kids died, and 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.920 all these other statistics that got so much better after 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.400 the Industrial Revolution, right, and that prior to the Industrial Revolution, 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:58.640 I thought this was really interesting. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.960 The idea of what do we do about the poor 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.640 people started with the Industrial Revolution. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.400 It was the first time anybody had ever even considered 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.160 the fact that maybe we could do away with people 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:17.000 who are just so incredibly poor and have such miserable lives. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.960 Prior to that, it was just assumed. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.440 That most of us did and would and always will 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.240 and because there was like a chance that maybe you 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.040 could get out of that. Ever since then, there's been 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.160 this weird belief that it's horrible that there are poor 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.560 people that are being exploited and have rough lives and 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.400 we need to have a war against that and eliminate it. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.920 It's only because things got so good that you could 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.840 even have that conversation, So we've kind. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:48.080 Of have it completely backwards. Our view of that whole thing. Right, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.760 what's really interesting to me is the sort of person 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:55.800 who becomes a scribbler hasn't changed a ton, I don't 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.360 think in one hundred and fifty years. In that you 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:06.240 have something built that's amazing and complex and incredibly productive, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.560 and it has some fairly serious flaws, and people point 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.840 out those flaws, and to a very very large extent, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.840 they get fixed. But the view of history, because it's 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.160 written by the very sort of person who is in 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:25.880 the mainstream media today, lionizes the fixers of the problems 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:31.560 who deserve credit, but it makes into monsters the designers 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.720 of the giant system that was incredibly successful but just 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.240 needed some tweaks. Life got so much better. If it 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.400 was inevitable, all the good stuff would happen. 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.920 Right, Life got so much better for the average human 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.240 being ever since the Industrial Revolution. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:53.840 But it's portrayed as a horror mostly yes, because of 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.960 its pretty notable imperfections. 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.640 But yeah, but the imperfections and the imperfections they were 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.760 dealing with before. Right, children are dying, they were being exploited, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.399 they were short life spans, et cetera, et cetera. Before 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.320 the Industrial Revolution, are strong and getty, how are you 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:11.359 feeling about Friday? 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:16.080 Huh? Excited? Gonna party? I'm gonna party. I don't believe 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.000 you're gonna party. Probably not party. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.440 Probably take care of my kids, figure out some meals, 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.160 do some laundry, get to bed on time. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.720 I usually get to bed early on a Friday. See yes, 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.119 every night of the week. For some reason, at this 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.879 point in my life, I cannot say the same. So 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.400 I started my day with a early morning jabbing. Had 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.520 to have the standard of blood work done before my 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.959 visit with my doctor, and got an appointment in all 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.160 what you need to do these days, and my wife, 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.480 who's like a week off on the cycle of going 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.479 to see the doctor, had her blood work done at 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.520 the same place, and she said, oh, I hope you 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.040 get You know what's her name. She's the little gal. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.879 She's so bubbly and so cheery and so wonderful. So 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.840 I got there today and there she is. Not only 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.359 is she cute and bubbly and cherry Jesus, and she 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.080 she let us know we are discussing the nice weather, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.480 et cetera, blah blah blah, And I thought, okay, great, 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.680 Yeah that's the gal. Git. He was talking about and 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:14.080 then out comes from the bowels of the building, a 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:20.640 darker present, this big. There's no reason to go into 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.399 description A large A woman of large. 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:26.960 You know what's interesting years. I have no idea where 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:28.840 the dis direction is this story is going. I don't 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.080 know if we were about to get off on how 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.040 Christian she was or now. I don't know we're going 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:33.880 to got to hang out. 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.119 For the ride. That's that's the brilliant that's the brilliance 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.080 of my artistry. I'm hanging on. I'm hanging on. I 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.640 don't know what it's about. The old gal radiating hatred 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:50.840 for humanity from every pore. She was glowing with hatred 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:55.000 of humankind, just visible on our face. And they're book 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:55.840 for bottomists. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:01.280 Yes, uh, Joe, we we refer to those large margin 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:06.040 charge So yes, well, large Marge was in charge and something. 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:08.960 Oh give me the sweet little girl. I'll give me 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.960 the sweet little girl. But no, no, I got the 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.200 mountain of malevolence. You don't request, I request. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.520 Well, remember I used to have my guy Pong, my 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.640 non Pong, and I liked Pong, and I would I would, 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.359 I would show up and say I want Pong, So 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.600 I'll wait however long it takes until Pong comes up. 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.200 Yeah, the place I go, you know, I only go 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.560 like once every six months was a year. And they're 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.720 not consistent. They're a bunch of different gals, and I 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.960 think one dude wants who worked there. But and if 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:39.359 I have the one that doesn't look like they've been 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.240 in prison, you could say that, can I can I 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.840 get the one who is gonna jab me with the 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.520 needle whether I need it or not? Can I not 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.960 have her? Yeah? She actually is pretty good. It was fine, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.080 but you know, I found myself like trying to manage 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:59.920 the relationship with being really pleasant and upbeat without being gush, 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.800 you know, because if you're in a foul mood, and 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.800 she was clearly in a foul mood. If you're in 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.760 a foul mood, the super chip or person who's trying 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.320 to bring you out of it, that's not helping. So 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.159 I said, all right, you just got to play your 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.880 cards right. That my job. It's like, you know, you're 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.040 being robbed and you're just trying to look you can 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.359 have my wallet and all. It's just this. I'll end 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.440 it here. Look at the lay back and think England. Well, exactly. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.399 I was getting jaded one way or the other, and 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:31.040 I wanted it to be, you know, a good and 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.240 turned out to be fine to her professionalism intact, more 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.520 than any other job though. I mean, because we're all human. 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.560 Beings and we have good days and bad days, and 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:42.720 days when we're in good moods and bad moods, and 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.119 that job it's got to be particularly difficult. You know, 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.600 you have your I don't know, in argument with your 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.760 husband or your teenager says something you hate when you 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.440 drop off at school or whatever. 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.280 And then you got to go in and be delicate, 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.240 or you can take it out on your kid. Everything 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:06.240 I do for that kid. No, No, I've been raising 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:07.719 that kid and I feed him and everything, and they 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:12.399 have no GODA. Plus you're dealing with the public for 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.040 your entire shift, and anybody who's dealt with public knows 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.800 that that alone will put your teeth on edge. But anyway, 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:22.879 I worked out all right. I'm just so glad it's over. Anyway. 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:26.760 So I've been wanting to get to this, and I 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.840 don't know why exactly, but I find the dynamics of 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.920 this so interesting, speaking of managing a one on one 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:38.639 relationship and that is the history of American presidents getting 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.639 played by Vladimir Putin. And this is written by Tom Rogan. 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.440 I don't know Tom, I know Joe Rogan, I know 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:52.560 what's our Boddy from the Washington Post, Josh Josh Rogan, Right, well, 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.480 this is yet another Rogan. 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:59.520 But you read the David Sanger version of Putin and 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.400 Bush and how they hung out together like friends back 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:03.800 in the day. 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.760 Yeah, yeah, it was rough to read in retrospect. Well, 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.400 this Rogan leads with Donald Trump says he wants peace 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.960 in Ukraine. The problem is that mister Trump sees Vladimir 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.679 Putin for you who he wishes Putin to be. See 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.840 if you agree with his friends. He wishes him to 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:25.119
